to extinction. 1t is, above all, that in
dustry itself has obtained a democrat
ic government Of it's own, so that the
workingman now sits with the en-
pIoyer at the board of business man
agement and helps to make the rules
under which he works and to regulate
the conditions of his labor.
The reforms for which the British
socialists have been struggling for so
years have been obtained overnight.
A revolution that could not have been
effected in century of peace has been
forced by three years of war The
conditions which forwarded that revo-
luton are the conditions that are Sc
rapidly advancing similar revolution
here. Our socialists, who cry This
is rich mans war; let the working
man oppose it, are as blind as those
socialists in Great Britain who orig
inalIy raised the same cry and SINH
larry opposed their own advantage.
We have already obtained, in this
country, measures of state socialism
that looked as far away as the millen-
fum to CUR socialists three years ago.
We shall have to carry the still more
incredible reforms that have carried
IN England if we are to defend our
selves as well as the English are de-
Tending themselves. We, too, shall
have to ''democratize industry" as the
phrase is, if we expect our working
man to reinforce our battle line as
the British workingman has rein
forced the British front And not only
that. After the war is over, our in
.dustry and our commerce will not be
able to live in the same world as Brit
ish industry and commerce-to say
nothing of the French and German
if our workingman is not as loyal and
satisfied and happy and efficient as
theirs. Our revolution will have to
continue, because the life of the ma
ton in peace, as in war, will depend
upon continuing it.
A rich mans war! A war that has
exterminatad half the evils of oppres-
sion of which the predatory rich have
been accused! A war that has re-
duced their power, curtailed their
privileges, confscated their profits!
A war that has made England in three
years a radical democracy, not only
politically, but industrially! If any
socialist thinks that such war is
a rich mans war, he thinks so be-
cause his mind has ceased to function
because be has reduced thought tc
a dogma and beats mechanical ut
terance like a toy lamb-because he
hes taken his stand on the economic
formula, like the lamb on its bellows
unable to change its note under the
pressure of any circumstances. baains
its invariable answer to any fonfron
tation of fact.

WAR WAS STARTED BY WOMAN
Civil Conflict in England Dated from
Time Jenny Geddes Threw Stool
at Bishops Head.

A stool, such as people used to sit
upon in churches, and which was cast
at the head of the dean of st. Giles in
Edinburgh, may be said to have
marked the beginning of the civil war
in England which ended with the
downfall of Charles ii. This event
took place on July %, 1857. II will
be remembered that James l contrived
to introduce bishops into the Scottish
church. His son, Charles I, desired
to go still further and introduce book
of canons and a liturgy. Archbishop
Laud, whose tendencies were toward
the Roman Catholic church, backed
him in his project. Between them they
prepared a service bool; end the ordes
went forth to have it read on certain
Sunday in ell the churches in Scotland.
The Scotch, however, declined to have
their religious service tempered with.
When the day came for reading the
new service book few of the clergy
were willing to proceed with it, such
was the opposition among the people.
In the principal church OF Edin-
burgb the chancel OF the old cathe-
dral of st. Giles, which contained seats
of the judges, magistrates and other
authorities, the liturgy was formally
introduced under the auspices of The
bishop, dean and other clergy.
There were no pews in those days.
each person BRINGING his own stool to
church with him. When Bishop James
Hannah started to read the service
one Jenny Geddes arose and threw her
stool at the good mans head. So
started the first outbreak in conflict
that was to have important results.

NEED OF No-FENCE Law.

Editor Sun: This country is gov
erned by the will of the majority.
Each of us may do as he wishes so
long as it does not infringe on others
but when it does interfere with the
rights of others he must give way
to the will of the many. There are
$4,000 people in Pinellas county. Not
over 100 own cattle that run at large.
The largest herds of cattle ranging
over the country belong to non-resi-
dents who do not pay taxes here and
have grown rich at our expense. There
are few of our residents who do own
cattle and are making money by let
ting them run at large. But they are
making it off of land owned by others,
on which others pay the taxes and by
compelling everyone in the county to
fence every acre he has. Every dollar
the cattleman makes costs someone at
least five.
On the east coast where they have
nc-fence law, you can ride for miles
between groves and truck farms with
out a fence. Compute the cost Of
fencing the groves and farms of
Pinellas county and compare it with
the value 'of the few stunted, ticky
cattle that are running at large. Com
pare the temporary gain of 100 men
70 the good of $4,000.
The law is not drawn to work hard
ship On anyone It does not go into
effect for one year afte- its passage.
It requires a threc-ffths vote to
cary. It was hard struggle to get
this bill through the legislature, Pr
nellas county being the only one to get
it at this session; it was an effort to
get an election called under it. If we
fail next Tuesday it will be years be-
fore we are given another opportunity
to vote on such a bill. We shall need
your vote. Do not forget Tuesday,
October %.

"a RICH MANS WAR"
(By Harvey O'Higgins.)

Wy Al@AfSy " AA4SSlh
He had been drafted. He had been
refused exemption. He was a young
hack driver, with no one dependent on
him. But he was not eager to fight;
he had been reading The Masses.
What we l got to fight for?" he
srgrnad. "It's rich mans war"
1t is. But not in the sense that he
meant.
As long as this country, at peace,
was supplying Europe with food and
Ezrnitions the rich man gained. The
nunition makers drew enormous divi-
ne meat trust, the fan f do anu Z the
shipping magnates charged all that
she wartime traffic would bear, and
had no war taxes to pay. 1t was to
Eheir interest to keep this nation out
Of the conflict in order to preserve
their gains. With our entrance upon
hostilities, the government obtained
she p1Ms-.r to tax profits, to fix prices,
10 control the food supply, to protect
The s'eor from exploitation and de-
prive the rich of the fruits of exploita-
don. That power has been sought,
for how many decades, in times of
peace, by how many social reformers? ?
The war won it. If it is rich mans
gar, the rich have been singularly de-
hded in procuring it.
And, in the matter of the draft,
they have been equally blind. The first
conscription act of our Civil war al
lowed the rich man to buy exemption
by paying $500 for it. There is no
such clause in the present law. In
The later days of the Civil war the
rich man could buy exemption by pay
ing substitute to take his place. He
ear not do so in this war. The only
exemptions allowed today are allowed
to the poor man who has dependents
CT to the workers in the industries and
professions that are necessary to the
life and efficiency of a modern nation
in war time.
It is rich mans war, therefore, in
tte sense that the sons of the rich are
the most liable to die in it. 1t is a
rich mans war in the sense that the
rich are chiefly paying for it with
their lives, with their money, with
their time and service, and with the
boss OF their special privileges, while
the workingman, the small farmer, the
producer, the productive laborer and
the poor are everywhere comparative
iy exempt.
For the first time in the history of
the world a war is being waged that
tails most heavily upon the classes
who, in times past, have most profited
by war.
In this country, as yet, the results
of that new aspect of the conflict are
not glaringly evident. But in England
they are SO striking that they amount
to a revolution. There, it is the poorer
classes that have gained in material
comfort, in political power, in control
Of their conditions of life, in happiness
and in freedom. 1t is not merely that
wages have been raised, that the cost
Of living has been controlled, that the
people have taken over the direction
of the railroads, and of the coal mines,
and of the food supply, and of the
organized industries of the nation. 1t
is not merely that the workingman
has been given larger place in the
councils and the idle rich
man smaller place-his income tax
ed to the bone and his profits reduced

HOME COMFORTS IN CHURCH
English Squire's Pew Had Fireplace
and Arm Chairs.
From the London Chronicle.

tfTOm the LONDON CHrOniCle.)
The northern bishop who has been
protesting against cushioned pews and
pew rents in churches echoes very
old complaint. Bishop WHEREFORE pro-
tested against the old "squire's pews,"
with their luxurious furnishings, and
when he ives shown one which had its
own fireplace, armchairs and all the
conveniences of an ordinary room, and
was asked by the parish clerk if he
could suggest and improvement, he
whispered to his guide: "Yes-a card
table,"
At one period sherry and biscuits
used to be served in some of these old
pews during the sermon.

AND BRAZIL
WATCHING DUTCH VESSELS

Argentina and Brazil are exercising
the greatest vigilance over Dutch yes
sells. A Dutch liner which arrived at
an American port yesterday on her
way to Amsterdam from South Amer
lea reported that she had been held
seven weeks in Buenos Ayres and six
days in Santos, Brazil, where she
stopped for passengers. In both ports
she was searched. She brought here
5000 sacks of coffee.

FOUR TYPES OF MEN
French Method of Picking Sas9ssTS
For Special Lines OF Wer&

ga good Judge of human nature Is
born and not made" declared Dr.. G.
Stanley Hall, president of Clark uni
versity. Baseball scouts are not able
to tell how they pick men; neither can
any employer tell how he picks his
men"
DR.. Hall described the French sys-
tenn of dividing men into four general
types and selecting them for partieu-
lar positions in the army accordingly.
He said:
"First-The digestive type. 1t is
characteristic of the heavy Jaw, broad
abdominal region. Such men require
more food, need it regularly, must be
we'll fed. Such men are best on the de-
fensive. They are hard to disIodge
from the trenches.
"Second-The respiratory type. Nos
trils and ears are large; large, long
chest; demand plenty of pure air; get
FESTIVE under confinement. Such meR
are selected for work on high noun
tains. They are good in the charge,
in making an attack. Such men ex-
clusively are selected for the aviation
corps.
"Third-The muscular type. Head is
square, limbs long and strong, body
rshort. This type is good for the bayo-
net charge in the artillery service.
Fourth-The nervous type. Large
head tapers down to sharp jaw. Such
-.-s-- sst,,,r--4I.-:-
serves. They can get their second
wind. The really great men are Of
this type. Along with this type is
closely associated a willingness to sac
rifice self for the good of others.

RULES FOR APPLE GRADING

The State Department of agricul-
ture has just prepared Circular No.
6, giving the rules and regulations
necessary to be observed in packing
apples under the new Wisconsin ap-
pie grading law.
The new law requires that all Wis
consin apples sold in closed packages
from this time on be packed in grades
and these grades be stamped on the
box together with the owners name
and address.
A heavy fine is provided for mis-
branding a barrel or for misrepresent-
ing the contents by putting the good
fruit on the top of the barrel. This
law has resulted in great benefit to
both grower and consumer in states
where it has been in force for some
time. The consumer who wants a
good article has found that he can
now buy home grown fruit and be
sure that it is what it is represented
to be, while on the other hand, the
grower finds better market for a
good, honest product than formerly,
because it does not have to compete
with other barrels in which all the
good fruit is on the top layers.
The State Department of Agricul-
ture is planning to help the growers
take advantage of this law. If a
grower files a request in advance, an
inspector will be sent out to help him
get started grading and packing cor
rectly. All growers and dealers
should send for the circular and ia
miliarize themselves with the new re-
quirements before the apple harvest
comes on.

SCOUTS TO BE DISTINGUISHED
FROM OTHER WEARERS OF
KHAKI UNIFORMS

Boy Scouts may be readily dis
covered and recognized at any time in
case they are needed for service by
the metal badge of rank on the front
OF the hat. Scout insignia worn in
this position will help the public to
differentiate scouts from soldiers and
other wearers of khaki uniforms.
Only registered members of the Boy
Scouts of America are entitled to wear
the official scout uniform which is
safeguarded by the act of congress
Of June 16, 1916, granting federal in
corporation to the Boy Scouts of
America, and also by section 125 of
the Army Reorganization bill. which
makes it federal offense to wear
uniforms in imitation either of the
army uniforms or the Boy Scouts of
America.
There is no need for boys to mas
querade in imitation scout suits since
the scout organization is prepared to
welcome every boy twelve years or
over who will pledge himself to en-
deayor to live up to the scouts rule of
conduct.

The question of water works for
the city is now before the citizens of
Wausau. On Monday last the city
council passed a resolution to submit
to the voters of the city on the Goth
of February proposition to bond the
city in the sum of $S5,O0O.00 for the
purpose of establishing a system of
water works in the city.
At twelve o'clock last night a fire
was discovered in the old Jail on
Washington street, near the slough
bridge, by several young men who
were on their way home. The fire
was under considerable headway, and
two men that were confined there
were crying out piteously for help.
Alarm was at once given the fire de-
partment, and policeman O'Brien
sought, who stops at the Lake Shore
house, near by. O'Brien, half clothed,
ran to the Jail and unlocked the door,
which burst open as soon as the bar
was removed. The Jail was built
many years ago, and stood upon the
northwest corner of the court house

structed. 1t was built of timbers
fourteen inches square, and the inte-

LECTURE AT THE COURT HOUSE

Miss Lutte E. Stearns, for many
years with the Wisconsin Free Library
Commission, has been appointed field
lecturer for the War Council of the
American Library association. This
council proposes to raise one million
dollars for the establishment of Ii
braries for the thirty thousand SOL
diers in each of the thirty-two
cantonments, the idea being to build
suitable structure at each one of the
.caDtonments for the housing of the
books and then to employ trained SER
vice in the administration of each
library.
II was found by Miss Stearns, when
she was on the Texas border last
winter, that the men greatly appre-
ciated good reading matter during the
hours when they were not engaged in
drill. 1t has been discovered that the
men will do serious reading, and that
they wish books along the line of ayi-
alton, submarines, wireless telegra-
ply and telephony, trench warfare,
engineering, with good history and
travel. A jolly good novel is also ap-
preciated. Many of the people of the
the camps, but technical works are
lacking and it is to provide this class
that the committee of librarians Is
now at work in Washington upon a
list of several thousand volumes, the
purchase of which will involve suit
able buildings to be erected in which
to house them.
Many communities in the state are
adopting the slogan, Give a Dollar for
a Good Book for Soldier" and it is
hoped to complete Wisconsin's allot-
ment of the fund before the end of
September. Miss Stearns will speak
on Saturday evening at the court
house I'm the interests of this work.
her subject being Books and Morals
In Army Camp Life" Miss Stearns
will tell of the great work done by
the women of Great Britain, who have
collected over one million volumes
since the beginning of the war, and
who have had whole editions of books
with washable covers printed for the
use of the men in hospitals and camps.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all to hear Miss Stearns' lecture which
is entirely free. No collection nor So

MARATHON COUNTY
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

/ Last Tuesday evening the Council
of Defense met in regular session anC
transacted much business.
Mrs. w. H. Nablo was appointed
an additional lady member of the
council.
The arrangements made by Messrs
lF'lieth and Mitchell for French class
es to be taught at Athens, were rati-
! fed.
In the matter of the conservation
OF heifer calves and sheep, the sec
retary was instructed to urge the
state council to take action to this
end.
Mrs. w. H. Nablo, in charge of the
conservation of food and canning
demonstrations for the summer, made
a verbal report of what had been
done and especially the demonstra-
tions made at the county fair, which
were very successful and encourag-
| ing.
The matter of municipal market
was discussed and committee con-
sisting of Messrs. G.. B. Bird, E.. B.
Thayer and S. Winkelman, was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions urging
the city council to establish such a
market in our city, and Mrs. A. HI.
Reid and Mrs. w. H. Nablo, a COM
mittee of two to take up the aues-
ton with the various ladies' clubs of
the city to also urge the city coun-
Gil to take such action.
A committee consisting OF Messrs.
j. b. Giessel and A. G. Burg was ap-
pointed to take charge and have
signed the Hoover Pledge Cards" by
hotels and restaurants.
The fuel question was fully dis
cussed and it was voted to make the
matter the principal business at a
special meeting of the council to be
held on Friday evening, Sept. IA.
A report was made by DR.. Joseph
Smith on the question of Health Aid
Nurses"
A series of patriotic meetings are
TO be held in the state during Sep
tember under the supervision of the
State Council of Defense, and it was
announced that Gov. Phillip had been
listed for Wausau, the date to be.
made known later.
At special meeting of the council
held Friday evening. 1t was the opin-
ion of all that there was shortage
of wood and coal generally and that
people had neglected to put in their
supply hoping for drop in prices;
that the cost of wood and coal would
remain high owing to conditions, and
a resolution was passed urging all to
put in their winters supply as quickly
as possible; that wood and coal can be
purchased now, and dealers are anx-
ious to do what they can now to re-
l1eve conditions which may confront
us later on, but that they must know
what to do in order to prepare and
meet conditions. Later on labor trou-
bles and car shortage may prevent.
This was the conclusion of those who
had been appointed to canvass the
fuel question.
A committee was appointed to urge
upon the city to purchase coal as
well as wood to be prepared to sup
ply the wants of the needy OF our city.
1t was also the opinion of the council
that more coal should be used this
winter on account of the apparent
shortage of the wood supply.
