ALL Wisconsin mourns the death
of United States Senator Paul Hust-
ings, who was accidently shot by his
brother while on duck hunting
trip near Rush lake, Wisconsin Sun
day, because through his death Wis
consin has lost man who endeavored
to represent the people of Wisconsin
in these trying times.
Senator Hastings was elected to
the Senate on the Democratic ticket,
succeeding Isaac H. Stephenson,
and he has made good as Wisconsin S
representative. He has proven to
the world that he was loyal to the
heart and through and through. He
has endeavored to represent the
loyal people of Wisconsin, has stood
back of the government in these
trying times.
1t was Senator Hastings who ex-

almost entirely upon the cooperation
and support of the school board and
the tax-pay ers--the patrons. First
you must have capable head of the
schools. Then, having him, he
must be Loyalty supported and you
must hold up his hands. Support
of an efficient superintendent will
not make that superintendent s
administration success. On the
other hand, the efficient, capable
and experienced superintendent
cannot entirely succeed without this
support. We could say number of
very pleasing things about the young
people in the High school and we
could speak most fatteringly of a
number of the members of the
faculty, especially of one young
woman in the Pioneer school, whose
efficient work we have come in con-
tact with. We could speak personally
of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES this sort
of comment is neither fitting or
necessary.

students who have worked with and
for the secretary in number of inn
portant matters, long ago won the
secretary's heart and affections.
Superintendent Hyper is the right
man in the right place. Patrons and
officials of the board of education
know this and knew it before we
found it out. The majority of the
students and the faculty in all
schools, also realize this. If they
did not, it would not change the
tact that Superintendent Hyper is a
man of superior attachments. We
shall watch his career with interest.
In other articles we have spoken
fully of the importance of the school
work. This goes without saying.
This i'm portance and the value of
the work to the general public be-
comes great or small, according to
the efficiency and potency of the
head of the schools ~ the superinten-
dent.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-10-25

Now in closing these articles it is
not to be expected that doing SO
would not be without pang of
genuine and deep regret. This re-
greet is as nothing compared to the
re greet we personally feel in depart
ing from this city where as whole
the entire citizenship has been loyal,
kind and generous. The secretary
has made large number of good
friends here and some very close
friends. That the business men and
commercial club never did fully sense
the significance and Importance of
the work we had undertaken, has
nothing to do with the fine treat
ment personally accorded the secre-
tary. We believe that the city was
not ready for the movement. But
that is another story. But we have
found here and say it to the very
last--the finest group of men and
women to be found in any city in
the land. We say this without any
hope of reward--so it must begenuine
and sincere.

SOUNDS GOOD TO,US

The suggestion of the Ashland
Press that l. L. Baker of Ashland
would be the logical man for the
United States Senatorship to succeed
Senator Paul Hastings who was ac-
cidenty killed last Sunday, sounds
good to the people of Washburn
where Mr.. Baker is well known.
The death OF Senator Hustings
removed from the United States
senate the only real loyal American
that Wisconsin had there and we now
want another such man in the United
States Senate and you can bet that
L. K. Baker of Ashland would fill
that bill.
This is the time for real men in
the United States senate and Mr..
Baker represents this description
perfectly. He has the confidence
of the people as has no other man in
the state. He is man that does
things well and would truly represent
the great state of Wisconsin. He is
a big, broadminded man whom Wis
consin could be proud of and man
of the right type to represent Wis
consin. Let's have Baker, whose
initials are L. K.

lose them. Here is good fortune,

EVERYONE has reason to feel proud
of the showing made by Washburn in
the Liberty Bond campaign. 1t was
a glorious campaign with aglorious
finish in which everyone took interest
in trying to do his or her part.
1t has demonstrated where Wash
burn stands as to loyalty. No one
person subscribed any great sum but
almost every person subscribed
for one or more bonds. 1t was the
kind of an expression that the United

The High school students to whom
we made talk recently, know how
affectionately we esteem them. They
aided in the first work we did here
taking the census. The faculty and
superintendent also know that we
have been with them in their work
heart and soul. The point we de-
sire most to make here is the i'm
portance of standing Loyalty by the
superintendent and his teaching
force throughout the city. Criticism
is unfair it is cowardly. The
school board employs these people
because it's members know that they
are efficient and proved otherwise,
the board would be the first to see
it and to let them out. The tax
payers and patrons, therefore, should
never take the side of the child
against the teacher, or against the
superintendent or lend an ear or a
word to any malicious gossip about
any one engaged in this important
work. Not that there has ever been
any that we have heard. -Washburn
to her credit has been singuIarly
free from school gossip and exceed
ingly loyal to the superintendent and
faculty. This is as it should be. 1t
makes for better work and results.

DUBLIN.-(Correspondence OF the

whole was utterly unprepared for the
Inauguration of the summer time
clock this year. Last year, Ireland

With the double charge there is
nothing like general agreement. The
Irish are entirely at odds regarding
the time of day. For some business
purposes in the cities the new time
has been accepted willy-nilly. Trains
run by it and government offices de-
mand it. Several privately and re-

form to it. but the commissioners Of
national education have given half an
