WHO CAUSED THE WAR?

Occasionally is head the statement
that the present was was brought
about by the wealthy men Of this
country in order that they might prof
it. 1t 5 not new statement, says
the Black River Falls Journal In
1861, there were men who claimed
that the Civil War was caused by
northern men who wanted to get rid
of the cheap slave labor of the south.
In 1898, Mckinley was accused OF
bringing about the Spanish war in or
der to turn Cuba over to American cor
porations. Last year, when our troops
were sent to Mexico to push bandits
for killing American people in New
Mexico some papers harped that the
troops were being sent to protect cor
poration property. Yet, after those
conflicts were over, the cause of our
country was so plain that no man
would have the temerity to repeat
such absurd claims.

FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS

How to make money is the prob

looked upon as an invaluable means
of gaining riches, but the. necessity
for health. energy, enthusiasm, back

Strength of body is really the foun-
dalton of a successful career in any
line of human endeavor. In order to
make a success, you must go at your
tasks each day with enthusiasm. You
must be fired with ambition. You
must be spurred on by those thrOb-

Drought in Montana

This has been very busy sum
mer with us here on the ranch. 1t
has been very hot and dry season.
Montana is nearly all burned up with
the drought We have had no rain
fall to speak of for four months. All
crops that were not under the irri-
CATION bitches are no good. The stock
suffers on the range for want of wa
ter. Our crops under the ditch are
fairly good. Hay is selling right from
the field for $40 up per ton. We have
our first cutting done. but it was light.
| hope we get rain soon, if not, there
will be loss of stock on the ranch be-
cause there are SO many new set
tiers. / think it is sin for these
real estate agents to beg people to
come to Montana to farm, for very
little of Montana is fit for farming.
A lot Of people come here, SO that
cuts off the use of the range for stock.

WAR INDUCES. ECONOMY IN
ENGLAND

England didn't abandon cts orgie
of ostentation and luxury" until the
death lists began to pour in from the
trenches.
Then the small sacrifices like style
in dress and fancy goods came easy
to them," said "Tay Pay" ct. P)
O'Connor, Irish envoy to America,
discussing Uncle Sans food and sup
ply conservation program at Washing
ton.
The white-ha' red Celt went on to
tell more of what happened to the
British housewife and other stay-at-
homes, drawing comparisons with the
same things happening in this coun-
try today.
He expressed keen interest in the
governments plea to women to
abandon their beloved "style" in
dress and the appeal to men to curb
their appetites at the table.
"Luxuries in England have been
practically wiped out" said he. ga
few men still drink champagne now
and then, but with certain air of
apology.
"The lesson I think one might draw
from what is taking place in England
is that se1f-denial has become easy to
those outside the trenches largely be-
cause of the heroic sacrifice of those
who are in the trenches.
''The war thus has had a great ele-
waiting influence on the morale of the
nation. 1t has been a benefc.ent in
terruption of the great orgie of osten-
tation and luxury
MEMS and womenss appetites for
enormous wealth and great expendi,
lures have received check.
"All these things will finally result
in more equitable point of view as
to the distribution of wealth among
different classes of society, and pave
the way for an approach to a more
popular state.
Dinners have been reduced un;ver-
sally to three courses. And you could
not find table, however hospitable

be forced into a close association in
order to insure so far as possible the

course, must be the British Empire
and the United States.
To what extent would the anti-Brit

America before the war prevent such
an association? That question came
up in recent discussion in Washing

British embassy made this obserya-
ton:

It was customary for Englishmen to

war, while the English have come to
admire the great qualities of the
French.

WHY NOT ENFORCE THE LAW

If a man should walk along the
road from Kilbourn to Baraboo, brand
ishing a loaded gun and occasionally
shooting at automobiles he would be
chased by every constable, sheriff and
policeman in the neighborhood, and
if they failed to stop him the nation
al guard would be rallied to the spot.
But criminal fools, made fools either
because of too little sense or two
much liquor, can run automobiles at
q reckless, lawless speed in meeting
on q. track that barely affords room
to pass. Just the least swerve of
wheel, the merest relaxing or turn
ing of the wrist of the driver, and two
automobiles with ten or more people
are in frightful collision. Going at a
speed greater than an express train a
collision is certain to send one OF
both into the ditch and several or all
of the passengers into eternity. There
is law regulating this traffic, every
body knows of that law, people ane
papers talk about it's violation, but nc
one in authority even ventures pro
test-not single move has beer
made to enforce that law.-Kilbourr

LOCATING TIE OWLS LAKE
ROAD

a number of things should be con-
sidered in selecting the route to the
lake which is to be paved with the
$4,000 left by the late w. w. War
ner of Madison In the first place
the road should be located where it
will be of the greatest advantage to
the largest number of people.
The road will be used by the peo-
pie of the city of Baraboo and by per-
sons coming into the city over the sew
eral paved roads more than by anyone
else. True, those who are fortunate
enough to reside along the highway
VIII have daily access to it, yet the
bulk of the travel will be by automo-
biles from Baraboo and Sank county
in general, and visitors from more re-
mote parts who chance to be here.
Where should the road be placed to
suit all these? The decision should
not be Influenced by this person or
that person, by this property owner
or that property owner.
At the present time, no doubt,
those who own cottages on the south
shore of the lake would like to see
the road built as far as possible on
the East Sank road. The state con-
templates building a road along the
west shore of the lake, and if done.
the present road to the Messenger
shore would be abandoned. If the
state blu Ids road along the west
shore of the lake, then the wishes OF
the property owners at the south end
of the resort as to the location OF the
Warner way should have little weight
so far as the travel today is con
cerned.
No doubt the residents along the
East Sank road and the road east Of
the railway track would like to have
the Improvement at their doors. Per
haps road south from Crawford's
Crossing and on the west side of the
railway track would in way serve
the most of the residents south o.
town Perhaps another location
would be as WE'LL Above all things
railroad cross ngs and hills should BIZ
avoided. Railroad crossings are al
ways dangerous, and hillsides are ex
pensive to maintain. Would a ce
ment road on the side of a hill be
easy for teams or automobiles? Tn
less the road is wide, hillsides are
more or less dange-ous, feature tx
| be borne in mind.
: Then, too, the length should be
! cons dered. The shorter the route
the less expensive. This is deserving
Of a most serious consideration
While the town officers are to expenG
the money, and while@the town, city
and county have contributed but
small amounts as compared to the
$4,000 left by Mr. Warner, yet should
persons along the way or persons
who do not expect to use the road
have the full say in the matter? The
question should be decided by com
petent road builders and others in
favor of the best route for the road
and for the greatest number of trav-
elers. The road may be there fol
thousands of years, and the unlimit
ed future should not be forgotten in
dealing with the question of locating
the highway.
