uge from responsibility. The assem-
blage was his very own. He mas
queraded 1t as a discussion of an
economic crisis and then assembled
the most notorious disloyalists in
the country and guided the gathering
into frenzied attack upon the war
methods and purposes of the coun-
try. With sinister shrewdness he
realized that the people of this COM
munity were in no temper to toler-
ate open and unrestrained sedition.
The summary expulsion of the Peo-
pies ouncil taught him that. In no
way amending his design, he masked
it in the guise of loyalty and sent
out the advance announcement that
"sedition would be kicked out of the
conference" With public apprehen-
sion thus lulled to rest, he prepared
the program which was carried out
at the auditorium, in disgrace to
public loyalty and in rebuke Of every
sentiment of American patriotism.
Most fragrant Feature.
There was no more fragrant feat
ure of the proceeding than that it
was Haunted in the guise of loyalty;
that the Stars and Stripes waved
over the scene; that the resolutions
protested the profoundest support Of
the government in it's war program;
that each speaker fired his shot at
the heart of the government from
the ambush of a declaration of fervid
loyalty.
IF out of this hot-bed. of sedi-
tious haransing, this mischievous
endeavor to stir up class prejudice,
h &c A sNT~saF Az
under the mask of a discussion of
economic conditions there had come
one solitary constructive suggestion
one single proposal pointing the
way to benefits to people generally
or to the special class interests con-
cerned, there would be at least that
much to be set up against the rant
ing OF positive disloyalty and dis
torted socialism. But the conference
ended without one palliating or re-
deeming circumstance.
THE people of Minnesota and the
northwest will find no difficulty in
appraising this gathering at it's exr
act value. They will not make the
mistake of charging this unpatriotic
and disloyaI outburst to the farmer
and laboring classes, whose devotion
and loyalty have been proved and
mistaken. Both will, disavow At in
emphatic and unmistakable terms.
Organized labor and organized farm
ers will repudiate it and nail it upon
Mr.. Townley. where it belongs. Both
will be quick to. appreciate that. to
fasten upon their organizations the
stigma of disloyalty will be to sound
their death knell in Minnesota.
THE potential mischief Of such q
demonstration may be great; the ac-
tual mischief probably will be in
considerable. The reaction OF a loyal
people, the quick revulsion Of patri-
otto and sound sentiment will be the
antidotes to such poison"

Tobacco Notes.

The employees of the P. Lorillard
Co. at Madison have subscribed for
about $500 of Liberty Loan Bonds, the
company having offered special induce
ments of 10 per cent saving on such
purchases. To provide for this the
company subscribed for $1,000,000 of
these bonds. The General Cigar Co. of
New York permits its employees to
purchase Liberty Loan Bonds on small
payments which would cover the cost
of the bonds within year. The plan
is also extended to its employees in
Wisconsin and other states as we'll.
A strong gale that prevailed on the
9th and the 7th, reaching velocity of
nearly so miles at times, proved quite
destructive to sheds and farm buildings
in some tobacco sections and loss claims
under tornado insurance are being fled.
The wind was exceedingly destructive
to canvas coverings of plant beds and
but few farmers escaped some damage
from this cause The need of the can
vas protection fortunately was about
over for this season.

Red Cross Organization.

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the local Red Cross organiza-
ton held Tuesday evening at the Lii
brary, committees were appointed to
take in charge certain departments of
work which of necessity must be done.
This is the time which demands that no
"Slackers" shall be in evidence in any
affair which touches any phase OF the
war or of preparation for war. The
members of the committee as indicated
below are enlisted in cause than
which there is no worthier. In their
work they will anticipate nothing but
the most loyal response from those
whom it will be their duty to approach.
That they are not "slackers" is shown
by their membership on the commit
tees. That there are no 'slackers" in
Edgerton or its vicinity will be proven
by the response which will be made to
the endeavors of the committee. The
committees are composed as follows:

Jubilee Week at Milton.

Beginning on Friday night, June IS,
Milton college will celebrate half CEN
tury of progress since the college char
ter was granted. (The academy from
which the college sprang originated %
years earlier). Milton was one of the
pioneer institutions of Wisconsin and
has had profound influence in mould
ing the educational life of the state.
For sixteen years she furnished the
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton. President Harvey of the Stout
Institute and President Salisbury of
Whitewater Normal school were grad
yates of Milton. President Plantz of
Lawrence college received an educa-
tional impulse here.
Under President Daland's admins
tration the past fifteen years have
marked steady advancement. A Sci
ence Hall and an Auditorium Gymna-
SUM have been erected on the campus.
The attendance at the college proper
has been nearly trebled. This years
enrolment is 80 per cent larger than
was that of last year. An enthusiastic
spirit prevades the student body and a
confidence is felt that millions best
days are yet to come. T"
A large number of old students will
be in Milton during anniversary week.
The campus will be the scene of many
greetings and reunions. Milton offers
free hospitality to old students and
friends of the college.

Obituary.
JOSEPH BROWN.

employed for many years. Some years
ago he visited Norway to receive por-
ton of his fathers estate. Since then
he has lived a sort of hermit life at his
little home on Broadway, having some
investments that brought him COM
Portable existence, though at times his
mind was unbalanced. His late Attic
ton seemed to come to him from wor-
rying over the loss of his securities
that he suspected had been stolen, but
only misplaced. His nearest relative
is a cousin, Mrs. Chas. Brown of New
vile.
Funeral services were held from the
Norwegian church Saturday afternoon,
Rev. J. C. Spilman officiating, and
burial took place in the family lot at
the East Koshkonong cemetery.
