ELECTION TOMORROW
CANDIDATES ACTIVE AT THIS
ELECTION-BETTER VOTE
LOOKED FOR.

Tomorrow well again try to elect
a city commissioner The last time
we tried il did not work out just
right. the only accomplishment being
the elimination of one of the candi-
dates. The election of a week ago
resulted in no one of the three can
didates having a majority, and under
the law the voting tomorrow will be
for a choice of the two highest in the
balloting of last tuesday,. f..
Walden and A. G. Schmidt. A. j.
Baldwin, while not far behind i'm the
results. was third man, and cannot
enter for tomorrow.
The election tomorrow will be held
in the same polling places, with the
same officers in charge and at the
same hours. The First ward will
vote in the upstairs room at the court
house. The Second ward will vote in
the city hall. The Third ward will
vote in the Svenson wagon shop, and
the Fourth ward will vote in the Cot
fey brothers office. The polls will
be open from s a.. m. until 5 p, m.
1t is to be hoped that a better and
larger vote will be polled than at the
last election. If a person has a choice
he should register il by voting.
There are two mighty good men
standing for election. 1t will be a
satisfaction for the winning candi-
date, and for the unsuccessful n
too. to have a good vote out. And
to the person interested in the affairs
of the city he certainly cannot claim
much credit for a good official if he
takes so little interest as not to cast
his preference. Again, the person
who has the kick coming may be n
who has not voted-and he has no
kick coming. Voting, like advertis-
ing, pays. If il is no more than in
self defense it pays, and it pays If
done aggressively.

A MODEL ROAD
UNUSUAL ROAD ATTRACTS At
TENTION-WORk To BE
COPIED.

Hon. Fred Hegmund, of Nermil-
lion. representing Clay county jpn the
legislature. is spending q few days at
the lake. and was visiting in the city
today. On the way in from the lake
he was impressed with the condition
of the road, and asked his conductor
who was responsible for its perfec-
tion. and stated that it was the finest
three and a half miles of road he
had seen in this part of the state.
So enthusiastic was he that he spent
more time i'm the city than ne intend
ed. 10 learn how 10 build a real
highway.
He was informed that a. G..
Schmidt had had the work i'm charge
and Immediately hunted him up. He
inquired into methods. materials and
costs closely, and seemed satisfied
that the quality of work came we'll
within eason as measured by the ex-
penditure. He said that from the in
formation gained he would judge
that Mr.. Schmidt was a road builder.
and complimented him highly on his
accomplishment.
Mr.. Hegmund said that they had a
Is mile piece Of road in their county
which needed attention. Consider
able planning has been done for It's
improvement. many desiring that il
be made a road Of better than ordi-
nary construction. But within their
knowledge there seemed TO be no way
TO make a satisfactory road with the
materials at hand. With the infor-
nation gained Of Mr.. Schmidt he in
tends to urge the building. and the
use of the same materials and have
the work done in the same manne Of
this road, believing that the pro
motors will cooperate readily when
they find there is such a feasible
method to use.
II Is a source of much satisfaction
to Madison to know that they have a
road which is held as a model for
those who visit the city and lake, and
that they have a good roads commit
tee and practical constructor who can
make a highway capable Of attract
ing outside attention and imitation.

-, EDITORIAL NOTE. william Lee
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeltxendOrH,
the latter's revelations of the inner
life Of the imperial German court, Inns
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope rs the pOssessOr of it's innermOst
secrets.
The English "WhO's Who" says of
him, sHe has intimate knowledge of
the secret service of Continental cOun-
tries and Il considered by the govern
ment (Of Great Brittany an authority on
such matters" Another authority says:
"Few people have been more closely as
sOcinted with or know more of the
astounding inner machinery of Ger
many than bo."
LeQueux probably has more sources
OF secret Information mt his command
than any contemporary In civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
eminent has made valuable use of his
vast store of secret information through
a specially organized department with
which LeQueux works as voluntary
assistant.
Count Won HeltxendorH became an In
innate OF LeQueux several years prior
to the outbreak of the war; he has been
living in retirement In France since
August, 1914, and it was there that Le-
0ucux received from the crown princes
late personal adjutant permission to
make public these revelations OF tine
inner life of the HOhenzOllerns-that
the democracies OF the world might
come to know the real, but heretofore
hidden. personalities OF the two dOmi-
uaut members of the autOcracy tney ore

Hunting at the Front,

All game laws are In allegiance in
France, and. with that strange disre-
gard Of shell fire observable among
the wild life to be found on the west
ern front, pheasants, cartridges, rab-
bits and hares have increased to an
extraordinary extent. No mans land
teens with game, while the marshes
beside a certain river (Which must be
nameless) are full Of wild duck and
snipe. There are no shOtguns, and
service revolvers do not make good
shooting when fred at the flying birds,
so the snipe and wild ducks are stalked
in wary style and shot Sitting" The
sport Of sniping snipe in the marshes
is fraught with many dangers, and it
requires very ardent sportsman to
crawl through the reeds, amid the ever
lasting mud. in the hopes Of potting
snipe.-From Soldiers Letter.

Fighting Tuberculosis,

Tuberculosis is being vigorously
fought in Australia, for though the
percentage Of deaths from tuberculosis
in Australia Is less than in most other
countries, the federal government is
not unmindful Of the fact that it's PEN
sion list contains the names Of many
persons who are rendered physical
wrecks through the undermining inf1u-
ences Of diseases Of the respiratory
organs. A federal committee on the
causes Of death and invalidity In the
commonwealth is conducting an inves-
tigation Of tuberculosis and means of
combating 1t. The figures for 1914,
when there were 1874. deaths from tn.
berculosis, indicate that the disease is
most destructive in its effect between
the ages Of twenty-one and thirty-fve
years, as far as both sexes are con-
cerned, but after this life period
deaths in male cases predominant.

How Germans Attack.

1t has frequently been stated of late
that the German troops attack in mass
formation even in the face of machine
gun and shell fire, a policy little short
Of suicidal under conditions of modern
warfare. A Dutch army officer who
has been an observer ON the front
says that this Is not strictly SO. He
states that the attack has the appear
ance of a mass attack because it is
composed Of successive waves of in
fantry. The rear waves are kept in
close formation to heighten the morale
Of the troops, but the attack is not
a mass attack. strictly speaking. The
Germans charge in close order when
they have located what they consider
the weak spot in the line Of defense.
