Not All Seek Pork.

1t remained for the little hustling
Wisconsin City of Ripon to show the
country and the world that the coun-
try's honor was above everything else
in the minds of the citizens of that
place.
In today's telegraphic news, word
comes that over one-half the taxpay-
ers and the city council have signed
a petition and had it forwarded to
Senators La gillette and Husting and
to Representative Reilly of that dis
trict asking that the $4,000 recently
appropriated for a Federal building
in Ripon be diverted to the federal
fund for equipping the army.
That's an act of patriotism that will
live as long as the name of Ripon is
on the map. And Ripon has always
been on the map. 1t was in this lit
tie Badger city that the great Repub-
hcan party that has become such a
powerful political organization in the
affairs of this great nation was born.

The high efficiency of the Wisconsin
National Guard is shown in today's
telegraphic report from Washington
in as much as Wisconsin is mentioned
with Kansas and Missouri as being
equipped sufficiently to be among the
very first troops to go to the border.
The Wisconsin National Guard has
always been one Of themost efficient
organizations of militia in the United
States and the people of the old Badg-
er state are proud of them.
Wisconsin did it's share in the Civil
War and it sent its quote of men to
the Spanish-American war and had
thousands Of more waiting to be mus
tered in at that time. And in this
crisis, Wisconsin will be found, as
always, ready and willing to go the
front to fight the nations battles.

basis and many Germans think it is
monstrous that the poor should suf-
fer more than the rich.
eve all feel that if the war goes on
every person rich and poor ought to
be supplied with a daily ration ticket.
With this ticket poor man will be
certain of receiving all the food he
needs for his family and the rich man
will not be able to secure any more
than the poor whether he eats at
hotel or at home"
1t is to placate thepoor and the mid
die classes of German towns that the
government soup wagons pass thru
the streets.
The restaurants and rich hotels of
German cities where a man with mon
ey enough had only to go in and ex-
press his desires in order to have them
fulfilled, became sources of irritation
to German civilians.
The government therefore tried to
bring restaurant conditions to the peo-
pie by establishing the food wagons.
In many households cooking is al
most thing of the past. House
keepers wait for. the passing of the
food wagon and run out with recepta-
cles to purchase the current meal.
which usually consists of war bread
and vegetable soup.
The food wagons however, while
hey may satisfy the hunger of the
populace do not, I gathered in Rot
terdam, satisfy the popular demand
for more justice in the, distribution
of food.
Put the whole country on rations"
is the solution Mr.. Average Citizen in
Germany offers his government.
''The riots we have been having are
not so much for food as for Justice
and fair play in the distribution of
food" explained a German from Ber-
lin.

story from Germany will detail what
articles of food are most used in Ber-

There are no classes as in the regular

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Rotterdam, May 28.-(By MaiD-
The German government is regulating
the food supply for the poor but so
far it has not taken in hand the con-
troll Of food for the rich.
The many travellers from Germany
who gave their ideas ofthe German
food situation to me here all complain
ed that the wonderful, scientific food
conservation scheme Of the Germans
broke down when it came to dealing
with the food of the rich.
This is why there are food riots in
Germany. Injustice exists and civil
ians Of German towns realize it.
Poor people must stand in line for
hours before meat shop, providing
they have five or six marks for a
pound of meat" said one German I
met in Rotterdam.
Maybe the meat supply in the shop
will hold out until their turn comes
in the line and maybe it won't. But
rich people can hire a servent whose
sole duty is to stand in the meat line
every day, from l o'clock in the morn
ing until the days supply of meat for
the rich mans household is secured.
"And even if the rich mans servant
fails to buy meat, he and his family
can always go to hotel or restaurant
and get meat on every day in the week
except Tuesday and Friday.
"The authorities may frown on
household going to restaurant every
day, but there is no law against it and
if the householder doesn't want to be
criticized for doing this he has only
to go to a different restaurant every
day and his unpatriotic practice will
not be noticed"
The idea seems to be growing a.
mong the middle and lower classes in
Germany that the only fair way to |
deal with the food conservation plan
is to put all civilians on a ration ba-
sis, each person being granted only |
certain quantity of food every day
and each individual being sure of re-
eeiving the full quantity.
E'In a war like ours" said this Ger
man, who had sociaIistic leanings,
there ought to be no rich or poor.
Everybody ought to be on the same /

A Safe and Sound Fourth

As Grand Rapids has decided
against having Fourth of July cele-
bration, it might be we'll tocarrv the
idea through to the limit and declare
for sane Fourth.
The idea of sane Fourth has been
growing for years and comparison
Of some figures regarding casualties
may be of interest.
In 1908 there were 1853 deaths. and
5.4G0 injuries caused by fireworks
fire crackers, torpedoes, and similar
things. In 1914, there were 40 deaths
and l, 466 injuries. In 1915 there were
30 deaths and LBS injuries. The les
sening of the death and injury rate is
due entirely to the sane fourth idea.
Another comparison taken from the
records for Washington, D. c., shows
that following the sane fourth idea
there were no persons taken to the
hospitals of that city because of in
juries caused by fireworks, ETC., and
that the previous year when the sane
Fourth was not observed, there were
104 cases in the various hospitals.
Let's make it a Safe and Sane
Fourth.
