Circuit Court Notes

Judge Reid of Wausau arrived Mon
day to preside over the January term
of circuit court for Villas County. No
jury cases were noticed for trial and
the remainder were easily disposed Of
the following day. Villas county surely
has some enviable record in the matt
ter of long drawn out and expensive
jury cases, as if we rightly remember
there has only been three occasions in
the past ten terms of court when it
was necessary to enlist the services Of
the Jurors drawn.
Although no jury cases were tried
at term OF court considerable business
was handled by Judge Reid.
Several land foreclosers to quiet title,
naturalization of citizens. divorce
actions were disposed of. OF the latter;
Vera LOOMS. Theodore Hall, and
Walter Shawnee, an Indian were sue
cessfnll in getting release from uncon-
geniel partners.

State Capitol Notes.

Governor Phillipp's message TO the
legislature seems to have met the
approval of most papers regardless OF
their political preferences. One new
feature Of legislation recommended by
him is the election of the governor for.
four year term, the remainder Of the
state officers then to be appointed by
him. The u. S. government follows
this plan, with no serious drawback as
far as we know. He also recommends
that the primary law be amended
to permit the holding of party conven-
tions for making platform, and to COM
pei all voters at the primaries to vote
the ticket of their choice straight.
The first, does not appear Of any great
consequence TO US, whether it be done
or not, the second change we heartily
endorse, and think most voters would
\ Madison, WiS.-Education, highways and
primary law are likely to be the paramount
issue of the 1917 legislature, with the question
of referendum on state wide prohibition to-
interest those who are affected and those who
want to make political issue of it,
In the ordor of their importance to the state
however, they probably are named above.
The law concerning education will interest
every taxpayer from a financial standpoint,
and every citizen from the standpoint of the fu-
ture welfare of the state,
Although the recommendationiof Gov Philip
which will be expr essed in his message are not
known in detail, it is known that he will advoc-
at the strengthening of the laws whic effect
the rural school problem. His ideas on these
subjects will be awaited with interest by the.
members of the legislature,
Highways of the improved sort costing
the state great deal of money, and not all of
them are considered worth the money. Ways
to make better roads will be sought and ways
to raise money foa them will be anotheri IMPORT
tant consideration. 1t is probable before the
Legislature gets through that the method OF
collecting taxes and their disposition will be
somewhat altered, and the good roads" idea
will be partly responsible. One thing is certain,
Gov. Philip will not be in favor of taxing the
people much more, even for this recognized
benefit
The primary law will come in for serious
consideration, and members of both parties
will have suggestions,
This legislature will not-repeal the law, but it
may amend it, In any event the pro posals will
be accompanied by discussion from all sides
of the house in both senate and assembly.
A fairly good guess would be that the plans
which have been suggested to SO change the
law so that voters would have to declare their
intention when voting in the primary as to par
ties, which is in vouge in Illinois and some other
states and the plan to amend the law so thatthe
people would hold the platform conventions,
before the primary, instead of the candidates
holding them after the primary will stand the
best chance Of passing. 1t is known that both
will be sdvanced with many supporters in both
houses.

THE KIND OF DYNAMITE FOR
FARM WORK.

One of the good results of the land clearing
demonstrations conducted through upper Wis
consin by the college of agriculture was the
establishment of the fact that the cheaper 20
per cent dynamite is effective, pound for
pound, as the costlier grades. II may be said
further that the 20 per cent grade lifts the
stunps with less breakage OF the roots than
the other grades.
The representatives of the university recon-
mend the 20 per cent for stump removal and
there is material saving in cost. All grades
are availablein the 1917 sland clearing cam
paign, but the 20 per cent is recommended

ALL CONSCRIPTS MAY
BE CALLED At ONCE

WASHINGTON, d c., Oct. 1.-The
advice of governors of the various
states is being sought by Provost
Marshal General Crowder relative to
the advisability of holding examina-
tions for all possible future draft
calls at the prtsent time while local
and district boards are in the swing of
the work. If a majority of the gov
ernors approve the plan it is probable
that exemption boards will be advised
to call the entire roll of 100000 or
more men who have not been sum-
moned for examination. The whole
proposition. however, will be submit
ted to the president for final decision.
The suggestion made by General
Croweder has for its object the quiet
ing of a feeling that has developed In
in the minds of men whose order
numbers will appear early in the next
draft on the following call, Many of
them would rather have their exam
ination now so they viii know what
ARRANGEMENTS to make for the coming
year.
In calling attention to advantages
to be obtained from an early exam
ination, General Crowder points out
that all of the $500 exemption
boards in the United States are in
the harness, and, with speed acquired
in the first examination, they could
rush through the remainder of the
list before the end of the present
year. And further draft, it is pointed
cut. will at least require a great
many changes in existing boards.
Anothe advantage of examining
men at this time is that district
boards would be given more time for
deliberation in considering industrial
and dependency claims and recalls.
Early examinations also would make
it possible to arrange an order of Tia
bliity in addition to the degree Of
availability and thus make the draft
more truly selective.

BernstorT Furnished Money.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Proof that
German money was furnished in this
Country by Count Bernstorff to Bolc
Pasha, under arrest in Paris as a spy
will be forwarded today to the French
government, it was announced here
by Merton E. Lewis, state attornty
general.
The attorney general who investi-
gated Bolo Pasha's activities here at
the request of Ambassador Jusserand
said that it was a preliminary report
submitted by him to the Ambassador
at Washington last week which re
suited in the arrest of Bolo Pasha in
Paris.
The conclusions will be substan-
tiated by mass of documentary evil
dence,' the attorney generals state
ment said that it was a preliminary
report submitted by him to the am
bassador which resulted in the ar
rest of Bolo Pasha in Paris.
THE conclusions will be substan-
tiated by mass of documentary evil
dence," the attorney generals state
ment said, including Photographic re-
productions of the checks, bank re-
cords and other proofs of the DISPOSE
tion of the German money furnished
Bio Pasha in this country by former
Ambassador Bernstorff.
Pasha, who was in the United
States between February and March
II, 1916, came here, according to Mr..
Lewis, to arrange for the transfer of
German money to Paris through New
York banking institutions to further
peace propaganda in France. He sue
ceeded in getting at least $1,600,000
over to the French capital through ].
p Morgan & Co. and other banking
institutions, the attorney generals in
vestigations disclosed. Part Of this
money, it was revealed, went to Sena-
tor Charels Humbert, owner of lie
Journal, Paris newspaper, which,
however, refused to accept more, after
becoming suspicious of Bolo.
"Saberal weeks ago" Mr. Lewis
statement said "The French ambassa-
dor sought the assistance of Governor
Whitman in an effort to obtain infor-
nation as to the activities of Bolo
Pasha in this country.

HARDW|Ck NOT
LIKED BY JURY
BURKE COUNTY GRAND JURORS
NOT IN SYMPATHY WITH JEN-
KINS COUNTY PEOPLE WHO IN.
VITED HARDWICK.

WAYNESBORO, Ga, Oct A.. Burke
county's grand jury has adopted reso-
lutions deploring the fact that the Five
County fair soon to be held at Millen,
in Jenkins county. had extended an in
vitation to Senator Thomas W. Hard
wick to deliver an address during the
fair, and condemned the junior senator
as man who "by his reasonable ut
terances and persistent antagonism TO
the war policy Of our great president, "
has brought himself in such disfayor
throughout the country.
1t is understood that the action O.
tho grand jury in passing the resolu-
tiou virtually means Burke county
will not participate in any manner
whatsoever in the Five County fair
Burke is nominally one of the five
counties under whose auspices the fair
at Millen is held
The resolution which the grand jury
adopted without dissent is as follows:
I'VE learn with much surprise that
the Five Counties fair, to be held in
our neighboring county of Jenkins at
an early date, has extended an invi-
tation to Senator Thomas w Hard
wick to deliver addres sduring said

HARDWICk TO TAKE STUMP
AGAINST NATIONS WAR POLICY

WASHINGTON, d. C. Oct 4.-For
the first time since his speech in Geor-
gia scme time ago, when he bitterly
attacked the administration war pol
icies, Senator T. w. Hardwick is again
10 take the stump and tell the people
what he thinks about the general war
situation. He will address the Five
County Joint fair, to be held at Millen
on Oct 10, and on the day previous he
will speak in Eastman at the Dodge
county fair.
1t is learned here that Senator Hard
wick will take another crack at the
administration for its general war
policies and this will afford the people
attending these gatherings an oppor~
tunity to quiz him. if permitted to do
so.
Senator Hardwick has not stated
what he will discuss, but as there is
70 other issue now but war, it must
necessarily be along this line, with
view to squaring himself, if possible,
insuring his reelection to the senate
next year.
