Negroes Buy Automobiles.

This is dictinctly a year of pros
perity for the small farmer. Espec-
tally are the colored people prosper
Gus. The one and two-horse colored
farmers all have pretty stiff bank ac'
counts now. One result that has
come from the negro's prosperity is
the buying of automobiles. Never
before in the history of man has SO
many automobiles been sold to ne
groes. 1t has been said that negro
will not keep money, and it certain
ly seems that this is true of a large
number of them. Having several
bales of cotton left after paying their
fall obligations, any number of them
have poured large part of their
profits into gas buggies. Never be-
fore has there been such a demand
for second hand cars. What has
heretofore been the deadcst stock the
automobile dealers have had to con-
tend with was the old ears they had
to take in exchange for new ones.
No longer is this true. The colored
man with the bank account is wait
ing for every car the dealers can lay
their hands on.
And the colored people are not all
contenting themselves with old cars.
Many of them have bought new auto
mobiles, and doubtless many more
will be sold, as more seventeen cents
cotton is nut ON the market.

cup used at the last supper by Christ
and his disciples, which cup, accord
ing to legend, was a cup Of emerald
originally presented to King Solomon
by the queen of Sheba, and handed
down from generation to generation
until it came into the possession of
Joseph of Arimathea, in whose lhome
it was used at the Last Supper"
In this cup Joseph was supposed to
have caught drops of the Saviour's
blood as he hung upon the cross.
Then the cup, according to the leg
end, miraculously nourished and de-
livered Joseph of Arimathea when he
was cast into prison and walled up
to die without air or food. The cup
was brought to Britain by Joseph,
and wrought wonderful blessing to
the land, finally given into the keep
ing Of knights of a castle thereafter
known as the Castle of the Grail.
The keepers were always to be pure
and stainless, giving their lives in
service. In course of time a keeper
of the grail departed from this way
of purity and service, and the grail
disappeared. Thereafter it was the
greatest proof of consecrated good
ness and knightly chivalry to seek
to find and bring back this cup. The
desire to seek it was interpreted to
mean a desire for communion with
God and the knowledge of truth, to
dream of seeing it, even yelled, was
regeneration, to even glimpse it in
fact was salvation, and the belief was
that at last some one Of absolute
purity should find it nd bring it with
all it's power to bless black to the
land. Such knight, by name Gala
had, came at last to Arthur's table
round, and thence going forth on the
quest after varied experiences saw
it, and following it, rode throughout
the land shattering every evil GUS
tom with the power of ten because
his heart was pure, and at last was
himself crowned in the far off city,
since when none has even dared say
he saw the grail
These legends were shown through
all their wild vagaries to express the
deep longing of the human soul for
communion with God, for personal
holiness and service to mankind.
Their influence was traced as the
star dust of literary material in art,
music, and literature, and finally ap-
piled to the work, aims and ideals of
the Wesley Bible class movement;
the red and white of the class badge
signifying mo purity without sacri-
fice," mo remission of sin without
the shedding of blood and the
motto of the. class my Brother and
T. symbolhing the service that men
banded as knights of the cross in the
New Testament covenant Of the blood
of Jesus might render mankind.
This Bible class movement, as Or
ganized under the different denomi-
nations and under an international
association, is among the greatest of
modern Christianity, and the Busi-
ness Mems Bible class of Bamberg
has done, and is doing, much toward
the realization of the ideals of noble
Christian service. The class, in ad
dition to the study carried on, has
done much in the way of helpful

CITY WINS PROPER
BAI HING FACILITIES
FINANCE COMMITTEE RECON-.
MENDS PURCHASE OF THE
SCHLUETER STRIP.
Question of Continuation School
Draws Considerable Comment
Some Favor, Others Oppose.

Proper bathing facilities, the lack
of which Watertown has felt severly
within the last few months, are to be
given to the city. THE LEADER was
foremost in the campaign agitating a
demand for bathing facilities and with
the help of the people succeeded in
securing them for the city. A special
called by the mayor Monday night to
settle this question and also to decide
whether Watertown is to have a con
tinuation school.
A week ago the park commission
reported favorably on the purchase
of the Schlueter strip for a public
bathing beach. The finance commit
tee looked into the matter and at the
meeting Monday recommended its
purchase by the city. All that is now
left is that proper quarters be supplied
the bathers. This undoubtedly will
be done soon by the proper authorities
as it is seen that the popular verdict
is for such place.
The question of the continuation
school brought forth considerable
comment Warren E. Hicks, Madi-
son, state superintendent of industrial
education, pleaded strongly for such
an institution in the city and brought
forth figures showing why this city
could support one.
Several opposed the school on the
ground that children would discOn-
tinue going to high school if they
found that they could work part OF
the day and still go to school. In this
way the proper benefit would not be
derived from the new high school.
Alderman w. F. Gruetzmacher fav-
many needy people in the city who
could not afford to send their children
to school all day and would only be
too glad to send them part of the day
to the continuation school. Alder
man Charles Lutovsky said that if a
person was ambitious to succeed in
this world and was unable to attend
school all day, the night school was
open to him. He said that there are
eight hours for work, eight hours for
sleep and eight hours for play, in the
modern play. Two hours out of the
eight devoted to play would easily
give one the extra education he deA
sired"
Mayor Mulberger appointed com
mittee composed of Chairman John
Kessler, Charles Kerr, w. F. Gruetz-
macher, w. A. Beurhaus and w. Wede
meyer to confer with the local board
of industry, education, the school
board and possibly with the state de-
partment on the question. The ma
jority of the aldermen believed in
higher education for the person who
is prevented from attending school
all day, but believed that proper con-
sideration should be given to the mat
ter before acting on it.

G. A. ALLIANCE REPORTS
ON STATE CANDIDATES
Four of Six Candidates For Governor
Reported Having Satisfactory
Records I'm State Affairs.
LOCAL MAN ON THE COMMITTEE.

The committee on state affairs Of
the German-American Alliance of Wis
consin has handed in its report on
state candidates. Four of the candi-
dates are reported as satisfactory The
report is as follows: E. l.. Philip,
Republican, Milwaukee, present gov
ernor, satisfactory; F. E. McGovern,
Republican, Milwaukee, governor from
1911 to 1915 satisfactory. W. II. Hat
ton, Republican, New London, served
in state senate in sessions of 1899,
1901, 1903 and 1905; his record shows
that he voted both for and against
matters of interest to the alliance.
Don G. Hall, Republican, Stevens
Point, member of assembly, 1913 sat
isfactory. Burt Williams, Democrat,
Ashland, former mayor of Ashland,
satisfactory. Rae Weaver, Socialist,
Beaver Dam, no legislative record,
stands on the expressed principles of
his party.
The report was signed by the follow
ing: William Luening, La Crosse,
chairman; Prof. Theodore Schlueter,
Northwestern college, Watertown;
Henry d. Juers, Wausau; Rev. C. d.
Reichle, Milwaukee, and H. A. Schmitz
of Appleton.
Recommend No Candidate.
In submitting the report the COM
mittee wrote:
"In compiling this review, we have
not communicated with any candidate
nor have we exacted or attempted to
exact any pledge from any candidate,
but have simply used the public rec
ord of the men referred to. The alli-
ance does not make any recommends
ton of single candidates; it leaves to
the voters the careful and intelligent
selection of their candidates from this
list, urging them to vote at the prim-
ary election on Sept. s."
Compilation of such review is GUS
tomary with the alliance at all state
elections, says the report.

CITY. TO GET PACKAGE
FREIGHT SERVICE
MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURE.
ERS TO PETITION ELECTRIC
COMPANY FOR SUCH AID.
Benefit Farmers and Businessmen Liy-
ing In Region of Electric Line
Aid Consumer i'm Rafl Strike.

A committee of members of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
conferred with citizens. of this city,
Waukesha, OcOnOmO8Oc and Delafield
at meeting on August 25, in the
j Commercial hotel, in regard to eStab-
| fishing a package freight and express
| service between those cities and Mil

bers of the association on their efforts,

to assist the association in it's petition
to the Electric company.
A. J. Frame was among the business
men of Waukesha who discussed the
plan favorably and F. E. Woodard
w. d. Sproesser, John Schempf, Mayor
Mulberger, William F. Brandt and
Lew Parks were among the citizens of
this city who expressed themselves in
favor OF the new service.
AS planned the cars will stop along
street to Load and unload on private
property some distance from Main
street.
1t was pointed out that such freight
service is of advantage to Milwaukee,
to the towns of the interurban line
and to the farmers in the country near
to these cities 1t was remarked that
it would be especially advantageous.
in case of a railroad strike, for then
the city would fall back upon the cleo
trio service for constant supplies of
fresh meat, eggs, butter and vege-
tables
1t was agreed that it will make for
greater shipments of foodstuffs and
other pl oducts of the Wisconsin cities
to Milwaukee. This in turn will ben
eft the cities on the route of the rail
way, inasmuch as more farmers will
bring their produce there more fire.
quently. The point also was made
that such a service would take the
market closer to the producer and that
it would mean a considerable increase
of traffic into Milwaukee which would
justify the establishment of the SER
vice to the company.
The Milwaukee party left Milwau-
kee at II O'Clock Thursday morning
in the directors special CAY. They
had dinner at the Waukesha hotel. At
Delafield and Oconomowoc, groups of
farmers and business men came to the

JEFFERSON COUNTY GETS
SMALL AID FROM Phillip
McGOvern Claims Taxes Were Reduced
Because Philip Used Money From
McGOyern Fund Balance.
MGOVERN WAS ECONOMICAL.

Records recently compiled at Mad
isOn show that under the Philip ad-
ministration, Jefferson county re-
csived $3,S43.00 less state highway aid
for 1916 than was received by the
county in 1915; under the McGovern
administration. All counties in 1916
received all the aid they asked but
for in 1916
Jefferson county asked for $22 ,247
state aid for 1915 and received $16,-
947.75 or $76.18 per cent of what was
asked for. In his campaign speeches
Governor Philip advocates trunk line
roads, permanent road construction
and good up-keep, yet he cut the ap-
propriation..
Jefferson county's general proper
ty taxes increased s4024.8S this year.
Two years ago, Candidate Philip
stated in his message to the legisla
ture that county and local taxes were
intimately connected and influenced
by state taxes. Today Gov. Philipp
says the state has no control over
local taxes.
In recent public statement Secre-
tary of State John S. Donald, shows
that the only reduction made in the
state tax was due to the fact that Gov.
Philip secured all highway aid funds
used this year from the McGovern
general fund balance and thus post
poned to future administration a
larger tax levy
More money has been spent under
the present administration than was
spent during any full fiscal year that
McGovern controlled the finances.
Gov. Philip signed bills creating two
$4,000 positions, unheard of under any
former administration. The total
amount of increase in salaries paid
boards and commissions amounts TO
$40,850 The total net disbursements
under Gov. Philipp are 15,243, ISL 81.
The last year under McGovern the net
disbursements were S14,318.0 .041.08.
