probable motives. We have both been
long time friends of the Senator and
IRE still friendly with him, but we do
not agree with his present attitude

1t is becoming more and more pa
tent that the people of Wisconsin are
not with Governor Phillips in his de-
sire to have the state legislature give
him the right to appoint Paul o. Hus-
ting's successor John Monahan's sug-
gestion that the two leading parties
should join together in the selection
of an American citizen, we'll qualified
for the position, without any reference
to any thing else, except that he be
full blooded American. In this man
ner all Americans should join together
in voting for one man, all others
should vote for some one else. This
would give only two candidates to
choose from. We are perfectly will
ing to trust the people in selecting the
right man. We don't believe that
Gov. Phillips would.

She will give clearance to departing trains
the Pacific Coast, and from which
numerous local trains depart for all
points Of the compass. It is a college
city, making it the destination during
the year of many persons, particularly
ladies and young people, unaccus-
toned to travelling, and the appoint
ment of a thoroughly competent
woman to this executive position will
be of great benefit to the city Of AInes
and the railway company alike.
Let no one think the position Of
station master is any sinecure. Mrs.
Laughlin will announce the departure
and arrival of trains, assist departing
passengers to proper trains and direct
arriving passengers about the city,
help women and children on and Off
trains, see that mail and baggage is
ready that trains may not be delayed,
that no undesirable characters loiter
around the station, assist in selling
tickets, answer telephone inquiries,
and the thousand and one questions
that the traveller ever asks of rail-
ways representatives, give the clear
ance signal to departing trains, and
properly dispose Of the imumerable
matters that continually arise from
day to day in the conduct of the
stations business.
The appointment came as a sur
prise to Mrs. Laughlm, although she
has unwittingly been preparing her
self for it for many years. She is a
widow, whose husband was for more

twenty years she travelled with him
from time to time, always intensely

unique for a woman to take such an
interest in railway life which, more
than commercial pursuits, has always
been considered q man S field of work.

He is not only taking good care Of all
Of Wood County's insane people, but

building new buildings, say nothing Of
the many little improvements that can

From an investigation of the pre-
liminary report made to the Wood
County Board by L. Amundson, High
way Commissioner for Wood County,
one can gather the information from
his report that Wood County is doing
a great deal in the macadamizing and
grading Of her roads. By reading his
report you gather the information of
the amount of work already done in
each OF the towns of the county. We
are spending nearly 100000 year,
which is a large sum and makes a
pretty good showing. 1t won't be
many years before all of our principal
thoroughfares, will be either concrete
or macadamized. Unless the war pre-
vents, great deal more is expected
to be done in 1918 Mr. Amundson
IS giving excellent satisfaction and is
making rapid progress and doing
good work. He should be encouraged
by giving him more help in his office
so that he may give his entire time
to outside matters. The demands
made upon him in the magnitude of
the work to be accomplished he should
be able to give his entire time to the
work on the outside instead of being
bothered with the many details in the
office work.
