The Right Spirit

One of our young men writes home
from the West, touching upon the
conditions of our country. In these
troublesome times, it demonstrates
that there is a spirit of patriotism
prevalent among our young men, little
dreamed of by our people. 1t is the
same spirit which carried our armies
to victory in 1875, 1872 and 1861.
Nothing is to be feared of the future
stability of our country, when its
young men, filled with patriotism, are
ready to meet the emergencies, taking
for their example our forefathers, who
also fought to preserve the Union.
He says:
81 see the seriousness Of the stu
alton, and, though, 1 have hopes for
the best, there cannot but be good
deal of trouble experienced while the
European war continues, and the
thought of seriously entering the U.
S. service comes to me, providing the
present crisis continues to loom with
such tremendous Importance upon the
horizon. Should there be any actual
involvement of our country with any
other power, I should feel it my per-
sonal duty to do what 1 can. We are
living in a country in which the con-
ditions are far superior to any other
on the face of the globe. If Democ-
racy is to succeed, it is UP to every
American citizen to do all in his or
her power to sustain and maintain
the institutions which have been de-
veloped here, and, above all, to keep
the American flag in the position in
which it must occupy; where it is
revered and honored, respected and
not trampled upon. A government
without force backing its declarations
can do nothing It is as powerless as
a ship in a tornado. To get the gun
back of the sword, we must cooperate
and be willing to shoulder our share of
the burden; no matter how hard; no
matter how heart-rending; no matter
how shuddering the very thought OF
the possible results may be. Poster
ity will reap the advantage. Our fore
fathers shouldered their muskets and
defended what they believed to be
their rights, thus preparing soft way
for us to travel; an easx canoe for US
to paddle, considering that which they
were obliged to pilot. We must stand
one and all for whatever steps may
be taken, and not only in heart
though that counts as much as any
thing and is indispeAsable-but in &C.
ton, in service and in cooperation.
Not as long as the sun shines upon
earth, can the very instincts, the in
herent characteristics of the human
apparently, ever hope to amalgamate.
II there is no amalgamation, there
cannot be permanent peace. We must
be continually prepared well for the
emergencies which we will be obliged,
at one time or another, to confront,
and. let us hope, in a reasonably well
fore-planned manner. 1t behooves us,
now that we plainly see we can
not always hope to keep out of Euro.
pean affairs, and especially under
present conditions, to PREPARE.
The very folly of war is perfectly
plain to me, as to The many others,
but when it comes, we have to face
it"

If Walter c. Owen is elected to sue
coed Justice r. d. Marshall, it is said,
there will have to be "a special election
to fill the position of Attorney Gener-
al, which he now holds. There need
Zoe no worry about special election,
for there is no indication at present
that Owen will get enough votes to
know that he is running. This will
be the case if the voters will only do
their duty. r. ID. Marshall is entitled
TO a reelection, because of the splen-
did record he has made as q member
of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
for the past twenty years.

EDGAR HIGH SCHOOL HOLDS FAIR

the Edgar High School held it's first

entertainment, which was in imita-
ton of county fair, were "a to get
the town people more thoroughly ac-
quainted with the work of the school;
% to raise money fo playground
apparatus, and CD to get the COM
munity together for real good time.
Admission to the building was the
face. The admission to the exhibit
work was also free. Numerous rib
bons were awarded to the pupils for
the best work in various lines such
as the best notebook in certain SUBJ

the school by the people in town. The
money that was donated was used to
pay for the coffee, cream, and sugar.
The two main attractions of the
evening were staged in the assembly
room. The first of these consisted of
plays and drills by the grade pupils;
-theTsecond, was a play entitled, His

age booths and side shows completed
the fair Streamer confetti was sold as
were other carnival auxiliaries. The
niger doll stand did a rushing bust
ness. Home made candy, gum, and
pop were. given as prizes. The side
shows were unusual. An exhibit of
100 world Famous Pictures was
offered. An awl stuck into a board
represented "All on Board" etc. Baby
citizens secured unusual attention.
This side show was entitled, when
Life is Young"
Through this fair, we established
better conception of the work of the
school and added net sum of $4,000
to the playground apparatus fund.
The net gain does not stop here. Any
school giving successful fair adds
to its friends, makes the district more
willing to add additional equipment,
and, in general, makes harmony pre-
vail. The teachers of Edgar are will
ing to answer any questions or serve
in any way towards making the fair
of any other school success.

less theological as time passes. This
condition will grow just so long as tho
Protestant ministers continue to az

their flock instead Of laying down the
