A LESSON FOR OTHER TOWNS

The Monroe Journal did a good
piece of newspaper work in reporting
the trial of Mr.. J. E. Efird Of that
town for his murderous assault on
Prof. Allen, principal of the Monroe
graded school. Practically all bus
mess was suspended in the town for
two days while the trial was on in
the recorders court, and within al
short while after the compromise was
reached whereby Efird agreed to pay
the injured man $500 and was fined
$3.50 and costs, The Journal issued an
extra giving a complete account of
the trial.
This affair has a lesson for every
other town as we'll as for Monroe. The
assault which came near costing Prof.
Allen his life grew out of the atti-
tude some people assume of wanting
a school run to suit their peculiar
ideas, Of wanting special privileges
for their own children. Lumberton
had a little experience of a similar
nature which did not result so Sc
riously but which grew out of the
same spirit. And it is a dangerous
spirit which is often fostered by loose
talk by people who would not think
of trying to take things in their owr
hands. With some people whatever
is is wrong. They criticise the courts
and teachers and preachers, and whe1
something goes wrong with som,
one close to them they see red, imag
inc that they are being singled ou
for persecution, and in moment O
anger do something foolish or Grim
lnal for which they and others mus
suffer for the rest of their lives. TIL
safest plan is not to foster the spiri
OF faultfinding. The chances are tina
the other fellow is trying harder t
do right and to deal out even-hande
justice than those who criticise hi1
would in the same position. Whe
an individual sets out to run tn
courts or the schools or the churche
to suit his own individual ideas h
is pretty apt to come to grief; whic
would not be So bad if he alone wei
made to suffer, but the mischief
1T is that innocent people must SUI
Ter for his insanity.

ROADS

Mr.. j. Browne Evans, secretary of
Robeson's road board, discussed the
county's great road problem in an
article published in recent
issue of The Robesonian. He
thinks the main trouble lies with the
chain gang and would have that abol-
ished; also he thinks the township
should be the unit. 1t seems to The
Robesonian that there is about the
same objection to making the town
ship the unit for road work that there
IS to making every township coun-
ty: the overhead expense is too great
Perhaps the real trouble is that we
nave been prescribing for ourselves
and Ignoring the advice of road ex
perts which might be secured. Per
haps it is natural for every man tt
have pet theory about how to built
and maintain roads, but the sort O.
roads Robson county has is prett,
good proof that it does not pay to de

IN time, if its road board would EN-
pioy the sort of road expert that j
would have to pay a salary of abou
$4,000 year, and then turn the bus

However, we are glad to publish Nj

BREEDING DOGS WITH WOLVES
Darwin's Belief Was That Domestic
CANNES Represent Several Races
of the Wild Animal.

In 'The Origin of the Species" Oar
win expressed the opinion that the dog
was originally descended from the
wolf. He was inclined to think that
in different parts of the globe man
had tanned the particular species of
wolf which would be found there, and
that our domestic dogs, therefore, rep
resent not one but several races of the
wild animal, writes r. B. Townshend
in the Westminster Gazette. 1t has
long been known that dog and wolf
will interbreed freely. Button, for
a cross successfully. Indeed, in Rus
STA the Tsars long kept up a fierce
pack of hounds for wolf hunting in
which strong strain of wolf was
evident. Unfortunately, a few years
ago the little daughter of huntsman
crossing their kennel alone. stumbled
and fell, and the savage brutes set
upon her and deyoured her on the
spot. The indignant tsar had the
whole pack destroyed.
Even III EUSidHu TIE CTOSS WIFI the
wolf has been resorted to for otter
hounds in order to increase the cour-
age and strength Of jaw of the dogs.
But as the first cross proved rather
too wild and uncertain in temper for
safe handling, the masters Of otter
hounds have always crossed back
again and again to the dog till there
remained perhaps only one sixty
fourth of wolf blood or even less.
This fact establishes the fertility OF
the hybrid between the wolf and the
dog when bred back TO one of the
original parents, but so far there has
been no evidence to show how far the
hybrids would be fertile when bred
together continuously. Recently, how
ever, in the present century. this has
been tested by DR.. Alaric Benin OF
the Stockholm geological gardens,
who has given brief account OF the
results obtained BY him. (.

.IPATRIOTIC MEETINGS SUNDAY
Hon. M. J. G!Ien and Sousas Naval Military Band at
the High School Auditorium

naval band of 81 pieces is composed
OF over one-half Germans" He also
gave expression, as was stated by
Gov. Philip, of the large percentage
of Germans enlisting from Wisconsin.
He said that this state was largely
populated by Germans; that there
were those who did not understand
the situation and were lukewarm with
matters concerning the war, and he
was here to set them right. His prin-
cipal object was to stir up enthusiasm
on the Liberty Loan question. He
pointed out the fact that nearly 700
Marathon county boys had been called
to war and it was the duty of every
citizen to purchase Liberty bonds to
the extent of their ability. He said
that every member of the band was
the owner of Liberty bond and re-
lated how 10S Armenians in Racine,
who had only been in this country
few years and who could not speak
English, had learned of the success
which comes to those in the pursuit
of happiness and contentment here
and they gave of their savings nearly
100000 for the U. S. Liberty Loan. He
closed with an eloquent plea for our
people to raise the required amount
asked by this county.
Harry C. Berger, member of the
county committee, explained the Lib
erty Loan bond and said that while
the band was continuing its concert
the members of the Citizens Train
ing camp would pass through the au-
dience taking subscriptions for the
bonds from those who had not already
subscribed and nearly $4,000 were
taken.
In the evening the same program,
practically, was carried out at the
school building at 7:30 o'clock, there
being a large attendance and about
the same amount was raised.
The band can surely play some, and
made hit with our people. 1t is
the same band that played in Madi-
son at the McAdoo meeting the early
part of October.
The patriotic rallies were sue
cess and will do much good in clear
ing up the situation in assisting to
raise the required amount in this
county.

The Great Lakes Naval Training
band, which is being directed by John
Philip Sousa, gave three concerts in
Wausau on Sunday at the court house
square and at the High school. The
band came to play at patriotic gather
ings which were addressed by Hon.
Martin j. Gillen of Racine. The band
is composed of 81 pieces, the jackies
all being dressed in uniform, making
a fine appearance. A concert was
given at the court house square at
200 o'clock and at 2:30 the Tenth
Separate company and Home Guards,
headed by the band, marched to the
High school where the patriotic meet
ing was held The large auditorium
was filled with people, many having to
stand. After several patriotic Sc
lections had been played by the band,
C. S. Gilbert, president of the Liber-
ty Loan committee, introduced Hon.
Martin J. Gillen of Racine, one of the
able orators of our country, who gave
an address of over an hour on Our
Country-Its Hour of Peril" 1t was
a rousing speech and stirred to en-
thusiasm all who heard it. He took
his listeners back into history and
told how the Prussians gradually
gathered into their fold the small
countries adjacent to it's borders by
quick aggressive campaigns, all the
time building up a fighting machine to
wage. conquests for more territory
Carl Schurz and his followers sought
this country to escape the tyrrany
and militarism of Germany and to en-
joy the freedom of America. That all
Germans who had left the fatherland
had suffered from the spirit which
has dominated that country which had
become unbearabie, and they found
what they were looking after in Amer
ica,-happiness and contentment. The
speaker paid a high compliment to
the loyalty and patriotism of the Ger
man American people; how they
helped to win the battles of the revo-
luton and the civil war; how they
had proved to be prime factors in
the progress of this great democracy
America. He showed that the Ger
mans were not Slackers in this war
and as proof of the assertion he
turned to the band and said, this
