told his brother to shoot, which he
did, and evidently in the excitement
the senator arose abruptly in direct
range of his brothers weapon, the
full charge entering his body. The
wound was fatal and he died in a few
hours.
Funeral of Senator Husting will be
hold at the home of his parents in the
little village Of Mayville, today. He
was 50 years old,a native of the state.
He was elected to the United States
senate in 1914, and owing to the war
and his position with the administra-
tion had attained prominence.
For two sessions the deceased was
a colleague of the writer in the state
senate-a plain, forceful, earnest,
honest man, is our cherished memory
of Paul Husting.
The vacancy left by the death of
Senator Husting can only be filed by
nomination and election from the peo-
pie themselves. The new constitu-
ton precludes appointment by the
governor as in the past.

how Norwegians live in Norway.
Numerous winter scenes show the
difficulties of keeping the railroads
open for travel far up in the noun
tains and are especially interesting

the skiing at Holmenkollen and noun

perts from all over the Scandinavian
countries. Oscar Mathisen winning

A PLAIN, HELPFUL, PATRIOTIC ADMONITION

At the opening of Circuit
Court, Monday morning, af-
terra number of men had been
admitted to full citizenship
Judge Higbee took occasion
to address them in plain yet
glowing words of good Am
erican patriotic sentiments.
His utterances are healthful
and Illuminating at this time
because there is today so
much of a spirit of coward
ice and disposition to make
political and other capital
among the vicious, the ignor-
ant and the unthinking class
es by many in high places
men who ought to lend their
talents and positions of in
fiuence that the people have
placed in their keeping. The
words of Judge Higbee are
righteous rebuke to all such.
Every American worthy of
the name will say amen to
his brave utterances. They
convey the right punch.

CONGRESsMAN'S HEARINGS
Hon. John j. Esch Well Received
Gave Helpful Addresses


The opera house was crowded to the
doors, Monday night, to listen to the
address of Congressman Esch. who
spoke under auspices of the County
Council of Defense, being introduced
by its chairman, DIR. Porter, who took
occasion to compliment and commend
Mr. Esch for his patriotic work for
the nation, and his loyalty to the
president in prosecuting war legisla-
ton. He said there was a noticeable
contrast between the services of our
congressman and senior senator. The
doctor said he had been an earnest
supporter of La Toilette, but like
most of his friends and admirers, he
had become sorrowed and disguised
with his egotism and can't" He ought
to be forced to retire from the exalted
position and some loyal man given a
chance to represent the patriotic peo-
pie of Wisconsin"
Mr.. Esch opened his talk by ex-
pressing sorrow at the tragic taking
off of Senator Husting. He said he
came here not as a republican or a
democrat, but an American citizen
of German parentage, who loved his
country more than any political party.
He reviewed the momentous legisla-
ton of the late congress, saying there
could be no apologies to make for
voting the necessary revenues to car
ry on the war which country had been
unwillingly forced into. The United
States did her best to remain neutral,
but the intrigues of Germany, which
had taken the lives of many Ameri-
cans and threatened every principle
of humanity and international law,
forced our stand. Mr. Esch went in
to detail concerning war expenditures,
giving information little understood
and eagerly desired. He made an
impassioned appeal for every citizen
to subscribe for as many Liberty
Bonds as possible, saying it was es-
sential to get war revenues in this
way or by direct taxation, exploiting
the values of the government bonds.
From start to finish the polished
and plain address of the eloquent
congressman was carefully listened
to and much appreciated.
Mr.. Esch spoke to crowded house
at Westby in the morning, and brav-
ed the roads and severe weather for
a trip to LaFarge, where he was
greeted by big audience.

Wisconsin's patriotic United States
Senator, Paul o. Husting, met a

grief for the passing of one who had

The brief facts are that Senator
Husting was taking his vacation from

near Berlin with his brother Gustav.
They were in boats, and, as flock of
ducks arose above them, the senator
