road employees and the labor unions
of the country appreciate the stand
taken by President Wilson in the re-
cent strike and other labor troubles.
We sincerely hope that the Republi-
can press of the state will take a
strong editorial stand in favor of unit
ing the two branches of the Republi-
can Party, for in their union there is
strength. With a united Republican
Party in Wisconsin, no Democrat can
be elected, whether National, State or
County.
We are glad to see a disposition
here in Wood County to get together
and work for the united Republican
ticket from the President down and
that every man on that ticket is
worthy and deserving every Republi-
cans support.

TALkEL)ON
GOOD ROADS
Said Concrete Roads Were Best and
Wants State to Have Absolute
Control of Road Building.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

A fair sized audience attended the
good roads meeting held at the Elks
club last evening to hear F. C. Can
non Of Madison talk on good roads.
Mr.. Cannon urged the construction
of first class roads and said that they
were an investment for any community
and an investment that would yield
big results.
He is opposed to the present system
of building roads and believes that
the state commission should have en-
tire charge Of road construction.
Under the present system, roads are
built along the lines of little here
and little there Mr. Cannon thinks
the best results would be obtained
from building a net work of trunk
line roads, having them start some
where and end somewhere rather than
the present way Of dabbing in a good
road here and there without any con
tinuity.
He believes the state should take
over the construction of roads entire
ly. He suggested state legislation
should be passed giving the state en-
tire control of the building Of roads.
Mr.. Cannon said the best roads were
the hard ones, concrete-they were
the cheapest in the end because they
were more permanent and required
less fixing and repairing if they are
properly laid in the first place.
He gave facts and figures taken
from road work in different sections to
establish his case

JAPANESE
PREMIER
RESIGNS
Move expected But Embassy at Wash
ington Has Not Had COnfirma-
ton.
(By United Press AssDclation.)
Toxic, Oct. 3.-The cabinet head,
Marquis Okuma resigned today.

Washington, Oct. 3-The resigna-
ton Of Count Okuma has been rumor-
ed for a long time it was said at the
Japanese embassy here today, but no
official word has been received that the
resignation has been rendered.
In the absence Of such word, the en-
bassy attaches refused to discuss the
probable cause Of the action by the
cabinet premier.
It is believed here, however, that
Okuma's resignation resulted from the
fact that he had ceased to have a con-
trolling voice in the officials of the
Japenese government.
The cabinet which he headed is a
coalition cabinet and he has not had a
majority Of support in it.

INDIANS GET
BOOZE; WHITE
MEN FINED

Judge F. w. Calkins court resem-
bled an Indian agency this morning,
when the cases Of the state against
John Bachman, Wausau and John Ba-
Imam, ShaWano were tried
Both men were charged with having
given or obtained liquor for Indians.
Officer Payne arrested John Bach
man and Officer Berg arrested Bah
mann.
The Indians were not under the in
fuence Of the liquor when the police
learned they had it.
The Indians at first refused to say
where they got the stuff, but threats
of being sent to Jail until they told,
finally made them give the informa-
ton.
Bachmann and Bahmann were each
fined s. and paid costs which brought
the total for each up to 1910.
Bachmann pleaded guilty to the
charge and Bahmann was found gull
ty by the court after hearing the tes-
timony of the officer and Indian.

At the end of the month your ac-
count will be credited with the addi-
tional five per cent of all charge slips
not bearing delivery stamps.
This system can effect large saw
ings for any one because a person can
buy high class groceries at spot cash
prices. This system brings any 10
cent article down to 9 cents or S1.O0
purchase for 80 cents.
No attempt is made to sell bargain
stuff or anything 'below cost" every
article in the store is on sale at these
terms.
Many people in Grand Rapids would
be glad of the opportunity to pay cash
and make their own deliveries if some
inducement like this was held out to
them.

Another Bridge.

No citizen in Grand Rapids favoring
a new bridge above the Witter House
on the east side, and below the Con-
solidated paper mill on the west side,
had any idea of landing the bridge on
the island, but on the west shore oppo-
site the old Garrison home and span
the driveway so as not in any way to
interfere with the traffic to and from
the mill. Build the bridge of sufficient
heighth to provide for this. Had the
engineers taken the measurements
from shore to shore of the Wisconsin
river at this point as they did at the
other places they would have found
about the same distance. No citizen
would want to mar in any way the
beauty of the Consolidated island for
a ne wbridge or anything else. This
park is one of our most attractive
places and to use any of it for general
traffic would be preposterous and re-
diculous. No one wanting an upper
bridge expected that.
The general outlook for a new
bridge anywhere at this time looks
dubious, but the business men and
citizens residing at the upper end of
the east side will continue to work
for new bridge just the same. Why
not take a vote on the question at
the coming election and get an ex-
preston of the voters on new bridge
at the upper site?

Visitors in addition to seeing how
cheese is made will be given ample op-
portunity to taste it. In keeping with
the practice which has been followed
at the last two celebrations, 1900 lbs.
of choice Swiss block and Iimburger
cheese will be distributed in sand
witches. Sixteen hundred loaves of
bread will be used for the sandwiches.
In the way Of entertainment three
bands have been engaged and a Swiss
quartet will sing all day. A parade
two miles long will be held. Last
year 10000 were entertained.
