WISCONSIN ENDANGERS NATION
AGAIN.

Wisconsin has done more than any
other state to hamper the war prep
arations of the United States.
Now Paul O. Husting, the other
Wisconsin senator, has blocked relief
measures for oil operators at this ses-
sion of congress.
Meanwhile, the oil in storage has
decreased by 100000 barrels since
the first of the year. Prices are soar
ing and consumers are beginning to
be concerned lest the supply give out
entirely. The increased price of oil
is burden on all industry and is
borne by the people. Should the gov
ernment exercise its power to COM
mandeer oil, the situation would be
desperate.
Politicians fiddle and the people
pay, and in this case the nation pays
dearly for an uncalled for delay by
vote-seeking politicians.

RAILWAYS ARE REAL.

We would like to remind the ZAP
peal to Reason" of Girard, Kan, and
a motley host of others who still rake
in the muck of twenty years ago, that
the railways Of this country are a
fact and not an inflamed state of
mind. There are some grafters ac-
tive in the railway business just as
there are some liars and traitors ac-
tive in the newspaper business but
the vast majority of both trades are
honest workers. If railway managers
were such mean crooks as these howl
ers make out, then naturalization"
would mean merely multiplying bust
ness graft with political graft. The
fact is that the rail transportation
system of this country is, right now,
the best of any country on earth, and
lit is doing more work and better work
than ever before. This effectiveness
is due to many causes, of which regu-
lation is one. But that regulation,
centering in the Interstate Commerce
Commission, persists in taking a mar
row, day-by-day view of the business.
The result is that the United States
is not getting the new railways, term
inals, etc., that should have been built

NOW is THE TIME.

Another election is rapidly ap-
preaching and every loyal citizen
should see that he is properly regis
tered.
It's up to you, Mr.. Voter, to scan
the list of prospective candidates and
see who they are and what they stand
for. (.
The day is here when hot air and
promises don't pay the war bills.
Make the candidates show their
qualifications for seeking high sal
airy at your expense.
Watch every measure having to do
with local taxation and creation of
new offices and expense.
Now is the time to start making
the fight for tax reduction in order
that we may be better prepared to as
sist the government in the large sums
it must necessarily have at this time.
City, county and state taxes should
be cut to minimum and every use
less and unnecessary office should
be done away with to help offset the
added tax burdens necessitated by
the war.
Every commercial club and civic
organization in the state should ex-
ert itself to see that the people regis
ter and that responsible ciizens run

HIGHER EDUCATION FOR
WOMEN.

The time was when most girls were
satisfied with what education they
could get in their home town schools.
Some daring spirits attended normal
school and fitted for teaching, and
others took commercial courses. Col
lege study was held not to be for
women. Many people seriously ar
gued that the mental pressure would
cause hysteria and all manner of
physical ills
These theorists were dazed when
the women's colleges accomplished
results often superior to those seen in
mems colleges, while the girls re-
mained physically healthy.
For society girls Finishing
schools" are said to have more stu
dents than ever, in spite of the popu-
larity of the full college course.
These schools turn out thoroughbred
girls of splendid presence and refined
and graceful charm. But 1t is hard
ly the atmosphere for a girl who is
to earn her living.
A college course may not seem
business proposition. The father may
growl at having to spend $4,000 to
SO, 900 on course that will perhaps
not fit his daughter to earn over
$500 year. The story Is told of one
young woman who was told by her
Latin teacher that she would better
go home and help her mother cook
and wash dishes, as 1t was all she was
good for. The girl, dlsheartened at
her slow progress in classical study,
took the advice more literally than
was intended, and entered a domestic
science school. She was very success
full there, and is today probably earn
Ing twice the salary paid to her for
mer Latin teacher.
Even If college life does not fit
girl to be a money Garner, 1t pro-
duces a broader personality. The
splendid civic work done by women
today is largely due to college influ-
ences. When the girl comes back
from this generous atmosphere of hu-
man progress she wants to start
something. So the women are taking
up all kinds of neglected work, town
improvement, good sanitation, food
regulation, child welfare projects,
care Of children's eyes and teeth, etc.
It's a great thing to have in any
community a group of women who
see life from this broad and intelli-
gent outlook.

WRAPPING PAPER.

Even what may seem like the COM
paratively small matter Of wrapping
paper is taken up by the government
authorities and the public is asked to
avoid needless waste. At present
prices of paper, it is not so negligible
a matter as people may think.
Formerly paper was thought Of as
an almost worthless material. Now
with its wholesale use in the NUM-
tion trades, and with the disappear
ance of the forests that produce pa
per stock, 1t is one of the valuable
products Of industry, and should be
economically handled.
People are finicky about the kind
OF paper their parcels are wrapped
in. It seems to be considered very
bad form to carry in the street par
eel wrapped in newspaper. Yet every
fragment of the printed page repre-
sents the mechanical skill and intel
lectual effort of a good many people.
1t does not look as pleasing to the
eye as the plain surface Of white or
colored paper, so no merchant under
takes to enclose his packages in any
such material.
Many articles put up in neat jars,
cartons or other containers have to
be also wrapped in paper in order to
suit our fussy tastes. Shoes. for in
stance, are first carefully wrapped in
soft tissue, then are placed in an at
ractive carton, covered with glazed
paper. and embellished by the name
of the manufacturer. 1t should be a
perfectly good looking box to carry
In public. No, before our pride will
tolerate it, 1t must be covered with
an additional envelope of paper for
which we pay In the BILL
The matter may seem too trifling
to be worth discussion. Yet the ag-
gregate of wrapping paper needlessly
used is very big sum, and it diverts
stock from other kinds of paper prod
uct where 1t is very scarce. Popular
habits in this matter show false pride
which manifests itself in a thousand
ways in our life and adds to our bur-
dens.

NEW PARTY ON DEFENSIVE.

The Non-Partisan League is using
large paid advertisements in the big
dailies to defend itself for utterances
at its st. Paul convention.
President Townley publishes ex-
tracts from his address there to show
that 1t was patriotic, and warns his
organizers that they must not discuss
war issues.
One thing is certain: his own re-
port of his speed differs in tone and
spirit from the reports published at
the time. and his delivery must have
caused the difference.
The Farmers Non-P Partisan League
is new political organization and It
is building up by excitement of the
people over unusual war prices and
profits.
A new political party mobillzinp
elements Of discomfort is not looked
upon with favor at present, and the

Prepare for 1918 Garden

The best gardens are prepared the
fall previous. See to 1t that no weeds
go to seed in and around the garden
to seed the soil with trouble for next
year. Also burn all rubbish to pre-
vent disease and insects. Make sure
Of manure supply and grow cover
crop such as rye, oats or barley, after
plowing the garden this fall, which
will furnish a green mulch through
the earlier part of the winter and
which will kill down and improve
the soil in the spring. Save and pro-
tect bean poles, trellises, plant pro-
tectors, cold frames and make sure
of a generous hotbed equipment be-
fore winter sets in.

The longer this policy of starving the
railway future persists, the worse will
be its results. 1t is no remedy to re-
gard our national transportation sys-
tenn falsely as something that is fin
ished and done for, or feverishly as a
hotbed of economic crime. Both
these. views are conventional and
widely held, but both are untrue.

Don't Add Acid
TO Your Batteries

Among motor car owners, the idea
that the storage battery can be
brought back to fully charged con-
dition by filling 1t with acid has made
considerably headway, in spite Of the
emphatic statement of battery men
that this is the worst possible thing
that can be done for the battery
The only thing that the car owner
should ever put into his battery is
pure water. The reason for this is
easy to understand The electrolite
in the battery is an acid solution. AS
the battery discharges, the acid is
absorbed by the plates. When the
battery is completely discharged, the
liquid inside is practically pure wa
ter. Charging the battery reverses
this process-that is, 1t forces the
acid out of the plates and into the
liquid again, so that when the bat
terry is fully charged the electrolite
is acid of normal strength, If the
car owner puts acid into the battery
he makes the solution altogether too
strong, the chemical action between
the electrolite and the plates becomes
too violent, and finally causes the
oxide and even the framework of the
plates themselves to corrode.
Acid should never be put into the
battery except by an expert.
