Citizens Only Entitled To Vote

An amendment to the state con-
stitution which became effective De-
cember 1st, 1912, provides that in
Wisconsin only male citizens of the
age of Fl years and upwards are en-
titled to vote. In some localities,
persons have been voting on their
nrst papers, which is illegal, and a
penalty of Imprisonment is provid-
ed for such illegal voting
To be citizen of the United
States, a man must have either
been born in this country or else
have acquired his citizenship
through naturalization If man
was born in a foreign country, il
does not make any difference what
his age was when he came to this
country, he can only obtain citizen
ship through naturalization To be
a citizen, his father must have ia
ken out his second naturalization
papers before the child became of
the age of Il years. If the child
reached legal age before the father
had taken out his final papers, the
boy must then proceed to take out
his first papers and then his second
paper
If the child was born in foreign
country and was only a few days or
months old, when brought to this
country, he is not citizen unless
he was naturalized through his fla
Their taking out the final papers be-
fore he was of legal age, or has ia
ken out his second papers himself.
Due to the war, the matter of
citizenship is being closely investi-
gated and persons who desire to vote
this fall, and were born in foreign
country should satisfy themselves
that they are legally entitled to
vote before attempting to cast a
vote this fall.

The Fourth Liberty Loan.

The campaign for the Fourth Lii :
erty Loan will begin September Is
a nd close October 10. The result of
the loan will be watched with keen
interest in Europe, not only by our
associates in the war against the leu
tonic powers but by our enemies.
1t will be regarded by them as a
measure of the American people s
support of the war. The Germans
know full well the tremendous weight
and significance of popular support of
the war, of the people at home back
ing up the Army in the field. AS the
loan succeeds our enemies willsOrrow
as it falls short they will rejoice.
Every dollar subscribed will help
and encourage the American soldiers
and hurt and depress the enemies of
America.
The loan will be test of the 10y
atty and Willingness of the people Of
the L nited States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part. There must
be and will be no failure by the peo-
pie to measure up to the courage and
devotion of our men in Europe
Many of them have given up their
lives; shall we at home withhold our
money? Shall we spare our dollars
while they spare not their very lives?

TALKING OF RESULTS.

In conversation among several In
telIigent gentlemen the other evening
the talk turned upon what will take
place after the war. 1t was started by
the suggestion that the governments
efforts TO regulate prices would con-
tinue, and this remark evoked another,
To the effect that 1t would fail and
that the failure would be succeeded by
socialism. One of the gentlemen, at
least thought that the progress to-
ward socialism would be accompanied
by a revolution of the bIood-spllling
kind There was no doubt in any
mind that great change would fol-
low close upon attainment of peace"
says Ohio State Journal. This war
has shaken mankind to its foundations
and II viii not settle back upon Its
Old basis. Just what that change will
be. no one can say, but that there will
be "A new life after the war, everybody
expects. The most of the expectation
is that the change will bear much Of
the s0cialistlc hue, and that every form
of social, political and industrial au-
tocracy viii disappear and that prop
erty itself will lose its prominence in
human affairs"

Letters from Boys "Over There"

Bordeaux, France,
July y, 1918.
Dear People:
have been busy all day
'Jng. A large number Of patients
showed up today from this drive and
the way that this place has speeded up
has been quite electrical. | have not
gone bach 20 my own unit as yeti do
not know when lshall--probably with
in week or so.
These young fighting men of ours
are real wonders all young but red
blooded men and believe me the Ger
man has met his better in one soldier.
Each one of our many patients has
done his bit and is willing TO do it
again just as soon as he is given an
opportunity. They are such remark
ably good patients. Many. of course,
are pretty well shot up and it is no fun
to have their wounds dressed or re-
dressed. 1t may hurt like the very old
Nick but they grip their clot hes and
try TO smile, and it is much easier
said than done. For such large num-
Der OF patients they were happy lot.
They love to show the trinkets they
have taken from the Boches Knives,
watches, etc. all such stuff that boys
gather for their pockets. When look
ing at them it is hard to picture them
us the same lads that knocked hi
out of the Germans last week. But
they did it and they will treat the
Hun to one real whipping after
another some of these days. They
all have been through the mill-many
of them have been through many a
real scrap. In fact. each one is a
brave little lighting devil.
More news to you in a few days
Must go back to ward, have a num-
Der OF gas patients.
Love to you,
Will.

Somewhere in France,

Dear Folks:
A few lines as ! find time, which
is mighty scarce at present. Am
feeling fine and never felt better.
Received Margaret's letter of the
9th of June few days ago. 1t sure
did make difference in these long
days to receive few words from
home. 1t was the first letter l receiv-
ed that was addressed across. Add
ress all my letters the same way and
give my address to those who were
writing me.
How did you folks spend the
Fourth? If you had a good time you
had nothing on me as | celebrated the
event in the city of cities-gay Paree.
1t sure lives up to the name of the
most beautiful city in the world
The Stars and Stripes flew from
every building in the city along with
the tri-cOlOrs of France. 1t was the
biggest celebration in the history of
Paris. More so since France and
America are united in the present
struggle for the freedom of the world
The immense crowds of people went
mad as the American troops marched
by in the parade. Roses and other
beautiful flowers for which France is
famous rained on the boys like hail
and in short time they were march
ing almost ankle deep in them. 1t
was something one will never forget
and that one only sees once in q life
time You have no doubt read all
about it in the papers by this time.
This fighting game is real life if you
know how to play it and live up to the
rules that govern it. Our motto is
"smile." That's the style. Days
can't always be sunny and at times a
fellow can't help feel blue. But over
here the smiles hold the winning hand
and the blues never show. | have
found it good motto smiling my way
to corporal S place.
No doubt YOU are following the
work of the "bOys" daily in the pa
pers and praying for speedy end of
the war. The old Stars and Stripes
have never yet touched the dust and
never will while there is Sammy to
uphold it. On the Fourth in Paris
they were honored and idolized.
They envy us and every American
father and mother should be proud to
have given and to have a boy ON the
firing line somewhere in France"
Wen, dear folks, must say aurevoir
for tins time. News is plenty but
so little one can say. Say hello to all
| know and tell them to write. Hop
ing this finds you all in the best of
health and speedy return to my old
home town must again say au revoir.
Your loving son,
Corp. Flory O'Leary.

Four thousand dramatic works of
all kinds were produced in England
from 1900 to 1890. The saturnine hui

some time in the drudgery of historic

works referred to 1850 are now absO-
lutely unknown, except by name, to
any but professed students of English
dramatic literature. OF the remain

Wisconsin Makes Good Showing.

Estimated reports of the redemption
of War Saving pledges, throughout the
state, on Pershing day August 6, show
that Wisconsin as whole was glad to
honor Gen. Pershing and also to show
the government at Washington that
there was no eamouhage when it
signed up for War Savings stamps.
In nearly every case. those who
signed pleqge cards in the campaign
which closed on june 2Sth, paid their
dues ap to date, and nearly all paid
through the month of August, until
next honor day. which will be on
September s, the first Tuesday OF
September. Other honor days will be
on the first Tuesday of October, Octo-
Der /, Nov. and Dee. 3. On the
last honor day, tits expected that the
payments will be up to and including
December 81, so that Wisconsin may
make her report to Washington on
the first day of the new year.
The honor" day system has
proven very good medium for the
payment of the War Savings pledges.
1t has minimiZed the work of the
secretaries and treasurers of the thou
sands of War Savings societies of the
state, and has relieved the post office
clerks and carriers of much work dur
ing the coming destined to be
one of the hottest of the year, as al
ways.
A number of War Savings societies
throughout the state, added to their
pledges on Pershing day, so that it is
expected that the next report from
w hingtOn, will show Wisconsin
su.l further ahead OF other states, in
the matter of War Savings societies.
