County prisoners have worked on

last year, according to statistics COM
piled today by Sheriff C. D. Conway
and Deputy Sheriff T. ". Buckley.
While the county is at considerable
expense in the way of guards. ex'
ira food and extra clothing for the
prisoners engaged in road work, the
figures indicate that the work has
been fairly profitable. A strip of
1000 feet of new paved road has been

large number of slips have been re.
moved from the improved roads and
much other work done.
County officers believe that by the
use Of a motor truck prison labor
can be made to yield much better re-
suits and the county court has under
advisement the purchase Of light
truck. This truck could be used for
the rapid transportation of prison
ers to and from distant parts OF the
county and with the danger Of es.

also be used economically for the
transportation of bridge timbers,

PERMANENT.
CONTINUED from Page one.)

Congress has been accompanied by
controversies regarding the facts OF
industry and commerce. AS these
facts have never been authoritatiyely
ascertained, except in few instances,
business men quite regardless OF poll
tical beliefs find the prosperity OF
their enterprises and that of their
employees menaced by legislation bas'
ed upon data which is inaccurate and
incomplete. Unler such conditions
consideration or new tariff legislation
inevitably causes apprehension and
uncertainty throughout tho business
world.
Universal recognition is accorded to
these circumstances. In calling Con
gress into extraordinary session for
the last revision OF the tariff the Pres
ident declared that among his pur'
poses was desire that the business
interests OF the country may not be
kept too long in suspense as to what
the fiscal changes are to be to which
they will be required to adjust them
selves"
Business unsettIement.
The National Chamber pamphlet
says pointcdly:
"a periodic unsettlement of the ma
terial progress otsthe country without
reason or explanation in economic con-
ditions imposes burden which Is re-
pugnant to every dictate of business
efficiency and every principle OF
craftsmanship. The frequency with
which these dislocatiOns OF normal
conditions occur is indicated by the
dates of. recent enactments-1S90,
1894, 1897, 1908, 1918. All of these
enuctments affected, not one industry
or group OF related articles, but the
entire range of American industrial
and commercial enterprise, and worse
still, these laws establish no discern.
able rule OF general applicability,
while every one OF them has been crit
icised on the ground that 1t contains
gross Determinations against particu'
lar Industries and grants CORRESPONDING
abnormal advantages for others.
Tariff legislation as now conducted
giyessrise to more irritation, to luore
suspicion OF legislative willingness to
discriminate on behalf of local or PR.
vatc interests, and to more undemo'
cratic procedure than any other source
in American life"
To prevent these disturbances,
which have no excuse in any orderly
system OF national government, d per.
manent tariff commission is advucat'
ed by the Chamber Of Commerce OF
the United States: In fact this is
one of the earliest subjects which
came before that body, when. it was

John n. Stair of Fennimore.

Fennimore Times. May 81: John b.
Stair, one of our most esteemed citizens,
passed away Saturday night, after a
short illness of two weeks.
John Fl. Stair was born in Amster-
dam, w. Va, Oct. 1, 1888. He came
to Wisconsin in 1866, setting in Green
county. He was married to Miss
Eleanor Chambers, who survived him,
in 1861.
They lived most happily together
for nearly 90 years. They lived until
1873 on a farm 12 miles from Brodhead,
Wis. In 1893 they settled in Fenn1-
more, where they made their home
ever since. Mr. Stair united with the
Methodist church in 1861 and lived a
consistent Christian life. His end came
quietly and he faced it with cheerful
resignation. To Mr. and Mrs Stair
were born three children, one dying IN
infancy. Surviving are Mrs Grant
Lewis of Fennimore and Lands e..
Stair of Mineral Point. Mr. Stair was a
quiet, hardworking, Godfearing man,
faithful in all his duties as citizen, a
father and Christian.

Mr.. Anton Gerlach.

The final summons came Saturday
morning, June 10. 1916, to Mr. Anton
Gerlach, aged SO years, 6 months and
16 days. Mr. Gerlach was born at
Helmsdorf, Prussia. He came to
America in 1859; and i'll 1854, he was
united in marriage to Miss Mary
Belkan. For some time they lived at
Hazel Green and later at Elk Grove,
where they developed one Of the finest
farms in that vicinity. They retired
from the farm about twenty four years
ago and came to Mineral Point and
bought home on the corner Of Foun-
tain and Chestnut streets, where he
passed to his eternal reward. Mr.
Gerlach bore his illness of few weeks
with much christian fortitude and
resignation. The frequent visits from
his pastor Rev. FIR. Nicholas Weyer
were a great consolation to him and he
died we'll prepared with the last rites of
his Catholic faith. About twelve years
ago Mr. and Mrs Gerlach celebrated
their golden wedding and two years
ago their diamond wedding. Their
married life was very happy and de-
voted. Mr. Gerlach made many friends
through his kind nature and as a man
of sterling qualities. He leaves his
children, the heritage of an honored
name. The funeral, which took place
Monday morning at ten o'clock, was
largely attended. Requiem high mass
was celebrated at st. Mary's church by
Rev. FIR. Nicholas Weyer, who also
pronounced fitting eulogy on the life
and character Of MIR Gerlach. The ST..
Joseph's society, of which Mr. Gerlach
was an honorary member, attended in
a body. The pail bearers were his
grandsons, William and Henry Aurit,
Leo Gerlach, Philip, William and
Anton Wiegel. There were many
beautiful floral tributes. The inter
ment was in st. Mary's cemetery. Mr.
Gerlach is survived by his wife and
eight children, namely: John Gerlach
of Laurel, S. OAK, Mrs Peter Klein of
Oelrich, S. Oak, Mrs William Wiegel
of Seymour, Mrs Chris Aurit of Elk
Grove, Casper Gerlach of Elk Grove,
Frank Gerlach of Shullsburg, Mrs
Bernard Fielder and Nicholas Gerlach
of this city.

VISITORS FROM Milwaukee
Are Given Very Hearty Greeting IN
Mineral Point.

The people Of Mineral Point turned
out in great numbers and gave their
guests from Milwaukee hearty greet
ing. Members of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, who came
in their splendid special train, were
met at the railway station with the
Mineral Point band and with automo-
biles. and were conducted up town to a
point on High street near the inter5ec-
ton of Chestnut street. There was
music by the Milwaukee band and the
Mineral Point band; and eloquent
speeches by Mayor Edward Brown,
Ernest c. Fielder and William George
Bruce.
Mr. Bruce is the secretary Of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton, and has long been an honored
citizen of Milwaukee; but for time
in his youth he was resident Of
Mineral Point, and has many old time
friends here, which made the visit OF
himself and friends here last Friday
especially pleasant.
After the exercises, the visitors were
taken for short rides about town. 1t
rained not during their stay here; and
they expressed great satisfaction with
their visit and their reception.
