GERMANY'S FADING HOPE

In spite of all Berlin's boasts Of vic
tory in the field, it is at the council
table that German autocracy hopes to
win the war, says The New York
World. That was the inspiration Of
Bethmann-Hollweg peace proposal of
last December. That is the obvious
reason why every attempt to smoke
out the imperial government and COM
pei it to define it's aims and objects in
the war has failed. Yet it is inconceiv-
able that the German government will
be able to ignore the presidents adj
dress with it's specific statement of the
things for which democracy is fight
ing in this war and against which it
is fighting There is new spirit in
the reichstag, and there are Germans
who are no longer afraid to ask ques-
tions of their own government. Count
Won Hertling recognized this spirit
when he refused to accept the chancel-
lorship until he had ascertained whet
her there was a majority that would
support him, and the Interpolation on
President Wilson'S address is sure to
come. The challenge is one that au-
tocracy cannot ignore, however much
it shrink from meetin gthe issue.

PROBABLY COT THE IDEA
FROM GERMANY

In his issue of December IA, Victor
L. Berger, editor of the Milwaukee
Leader, socialist organ, scolds the Off
eials at Washington because the sum
Of a million dollars was appropriated
for publicity. He objects because the
money belongs to us-the people of
the United States. He does not think
this country should have been gotten
into war and then use money to ex-
plain the causes and purposes of this
step. Probably Mr. Berger never
heard that Germany sent three-quar-
ters of a million dollars to this country
for plotting and publicity purposes.
Who paid for the public speaking and
the propaganda that was carried on
for some time in this country and pos
sibly in action at this time? Mr.. Ber-
ger should read what this government
has disclosed in connection with some
of the former German diplomats in
this country and if he were convinc-
able he would probably learn that the
idea of spree ding publicity came from
Germany. f Germany can spend mon
ey in foreign countries without blink,

have amusements. Every year this
city spends money for band music and
money is collected for a park system
which some day we hope to enjoy.
Why should not Baraboo own the
atre under its control? 1t would add
to the city's wealth and happiness. 1t
would be an attraction that no other
city the size Of Earaboo in this land
possesses. 1t would be a place where
rich and poor, where those at leisure
and those who work, could meet on a
common ground. Looking at the prop
osition from any angle, the city should
accept the gift, and it would show an
unexpected and unappreciative spirit
on the part of the voters not to re-
ceive the fine Yuletide gift. Baraboo
asked fer building; it is now offered
ard it should be graciously accepted.

THE RINGING GIFT

J
AS a Christmas gift for Baraboo,
Ringing Brothers have offered the
city the magnificent theatre built by
their brother, Al. Ringing, now de-
ceased. The offer has been accepted
| by the city council, providing pro-
test is not made by minority of the
taxpayers, in which event the question
will be for a majority to decide.
| A few citizens are using their nfiu-
ence against the city's accepting the
splendid building. In talking as they
do, they should consider the propcsi-
ton in all it's phases.
| Although for the present the broth
ers desire majority on the board, and
although there might be some question
as to the legality of the city owning
building at the same time controlled
by others, as held by the city attorney,
yet the brothers have two good rea-
sons for this temporary arrangement.
All of the aldermen present but one
voted for the acceptance of the build
ina with the above provision, and since
the owners ask this favor only for a
comparatively short time, it seems
we'll to not call the above serious
objection. Their two reasons are ex-
ceIIent, and they should be given con-
sideration under the circumstances.
/ The statement that the building will
be burden on the taxpayers is also
made, some asserting it is not more
than half sustaining. Others who
have never been patrons of the house
are saying things they should not say.
It is no longer a secret that in 1916
gross receipts were about $50, 900 and
the expenses about $4,000. Even if
the building did not make any great
profit there is no excuse for board
piIing up a debt in it's operation. Such
a board would not likely last very long.
At Richard Center the taxpayers
erected a building at a cost of many
thousand dollars, and it is successful
iy operated by the city. Many other
cities are doing the same, and Baraboo
should be no exception to the rule.
In Madison Villas, Birmingham, Ten
ney and other parks were offered TO
the city. Did the city refuse the gifts?
Have they cost the city large sums?
Indeed they have. Madison has spent
many thousands of dollars as result
of these gifts. If cities can spend vast
sums for park purposes, should not
Baraboo he able to keep a playhouse
going?
In case the building passes to other
hands, and this it must do at some
time in case it is not accepted by the
city, it might mean Sunday shows and
other undesirable features. Would rot
municipal control be much better in
this regard?
For years and years the people of
Baraboo beseeched for theatre and
AL. Ringing came forth with his
wealth and supplied the need. AL.

ers offer the building as a gift to the

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. I5.-The
Great Northern has acceded to the
request of the North Dakota railway
commission for reduced joint rates on
coal from Wyoming and Montana
fields to North Dakota points on its

Coal company says:

worked out satisfactorily"
The Milwaukee line today advises
the rail board it has the subject un-
der consideration, and hopes to be
able to afford relief to coal consumers
on its line.
A letter from w. L. Martin, vice
president of the 500 line, is regarded
by the railway commission as less
promising. 1--WE will be glad to dis
tribute either Wyoming or Montana
coal on the basis of our district
tariffs recently established, or to
join in a through tariff with connect
ing lines, using our tariff referred to
as a basis for our haul, and in divi-
sion of the rate" says Mr.. Martin.
