Another Spas1a.

We notice that the daylight conser-
walton idea is again being urged as
one means of salvation for the human
race. The promoters aim TO accom-
plish untold results by simply having
everyone set their clocks ahead half
an hour or one hour. There is abso-
lutely no sense or reason in the argu-
ment as that amount of time can be
easily saved by simply getting up that
much earlier and leave the cloaks
hands where they already are, in ae-.
cordance with time as acknowledged
and accepted the world over.
The people who advocate such an
arrangement show their ignorance OF
life down on the farm in any old state
The average American farmer does
and always did, follow the practice Of
getting up earlier all through the crop
growing season, and he doesn't have
to set his clock ahead in order TO dQ
it either. But then of coarse nearly
all farmers are gifted with some natl~.
ural intelligence and ambition.

nanclal losses through misplaced con-
fidence in others, whether from design
or from i'll management on their part,
matters little now. Those he bore
without complaint or recriminatiOn,
but II there is a person, or estate in
the world to whom he is indebted a
dollar, or il there is one from whom
he ever obtained a dollar Illegally, it
is unknown to the one who was closer
to him in all business transactions of
the past thirty-five years than any
other man. And personally he feels
that this together with his war re-
cord constitutes a more enduring and
more desirable inheritance than a
generous legacy of stocks and bonds.

After his discharge he spent the
summer in a business expedition eoV-

returning to Waco, Texas, where he

milling. Returning to Wisconsin,
at the close of 1868, he operated the
fiour-mill at Portage, then one of the

the management of one at Pardee-

survives him, as do the three children
born to them: Verne. editor of the
Eagle River Review; Mary, a Mime
apolis teacher. and Pearl, teaching
at Racine. Only the wife and son
were with him when the summons
came Besides these he is survived
by two brothers and a sister: Robert,
of Chatfeld, Mimi; Fred, of Lyons,
Kan; and Mrs. G. H. Mcintyre Of
Portage.
HesWas man Of such splendid in
tellect that we who have observed
how years of scholastic training often
fail to inculcate half the knowledge
he acquired by reading have some
times sadly wondered how bright a
career his might have been had the
advantages Of higher education been
his during those years which he gave
to the service of his country. News
paper men we'll qualified to judge
have pronounced it a phenomenal
achievement to have begun at the age
of fifty-tWo to learn the profession at
which he spent the remainder Of his
life, and considering the progress he
made with youth and health declin-
ing, it is presumable that his success
might have been marked had these
instead been in his favor Obtaining

CHARLES RICHARDS.
BORN NOVEMBER %, 1845.
DIED MAY "a, 1917.

To the Review this week comes
the saddest task which can fall to {
newspaper the announcement OF
death in the editorial family, and il
seems doubly hard because in the loss
of our father, the senior editor of the
Review, comes the first break in oul
family circle.
Born Nov. p, 1845, at Roxbury
Dane county, Wis, at seven he was
left fatherless and with brother
three years older, was the main sup
port Of his mother and two younger
children. Little do we understand the
toll and priyation endured by the little
lads who for less money for a month S
labor than modern children squander
on a toy, worked on farms in the then
pioneer section of central Wisconsin.
At is he responded to Linceln's
irst call for troops, but was rejected
ON account Of age. In December, 1862,
he succeeded in passing, and enlisted
in Co. ID" Fourth Wisconsin Cayal-
ny. He was mustered out at Browns
willie, Texas, in May 1866, a full year
after the. close of the wgr, being de-
tanned by his rank Of Sergt. Major,

Banks in all his campaigns, attend

expedition, and was present at the
siege and surrender of Port Hudson,
after which he was promoted for gall

received in succession all of the diff
ferent non-commissioned officers til
ties and while he said little Of it, it
was a matter Of lifelong regret to
him that his Lieutenant's commits

the HANCOCK NEWS, the following
year he established the PACKWAU-
KEE INDEPENDENT. Selling that
five years later to the MARQUETTE
COUNTY EPIToME he went to Fort
Atkinson and founded the JEFFERSON
COUNTY DEMOCRAT, which he after
ward sold, buying the MARKEsAN
HERALD. After operating that paper
for two years he sold it, returning for
a short time to PackWaukee, becom-
ing the owner Of the EAGLE RIVER
REVIEW in 1912.
He was intensely philosophical
and reared his family in the belief
that at all times the public welfare
was to be considered before personal
profit He would probably have been

less closely to this ideal, but at least,
back in the old Marquette County
home where he lived for nearly forty
years, he will be remembered as ever
purely unselfish in his efforts to adj
vance civic interests. He was once
treasurer of Marquette County held
various town Offices and was active
in the GAR For NANNY years it
was familiar sight at Soldiers Re
unions to see Civil War veterans
greeting ''Charlie" under the canopy
of the roster-tent. Many of them
have preceded him to the Other side
and we believe that he is today with
scores of comrades, some of whom he
has not seen since they were boys in
blue.
Since moving to Eagle, River the
infirmities Of age and disease pre-
vented his even attempting to win SO
large a circle of friends as he left be-
hind, an impossible task for one of
his wide acquaintance, yet in his last
hours here he could not have been
shown greater respect and considera-
tion had he been laid away by his
lifelong companions Loving hands

and his wishes were anticipated and
carried out to the smallest details,

critic along this line, for it was the
finest parting tribute to which we
have listened, and was most eloquent
~ fitting in its message Of comfort.
In a flag-draped hearse he WAS carried
to his final resting place, and after
the beautiful burial-service of his
baptismal faith he was left to sleep,
under the flowers sent from near and
far by sorroWing friends, under the
starry flag for which he fought SO
well.
