If THE Germans think that such
losses as the Tuscania will daunt the
American spirit in regard to war, they
are mistaken. On the contrary, it has
awakened a great body of our people
to a realization of what band of pi-
rates and moral outlaws we are at war
with, and has aroused spirit of de-
sire for revenge that has not been in
the hearts of the American people be-
fore. Heretofore America has been
fighting for principle. Hereafter she
will fight for the same principle; but to
this will be added desire for revenge
for the lives of the brave boys that
were slaughtered like rats in trap
without a chance to defend themselves
or strike back-stabbed in the back, as
it were, like the savage. like the I'M
civilized-a and like the Hun strikes.
There is no beast that does not warm
the victim by cry that he is going to
strike; but the Hun, lower than the
beasts, sneaks from the silent depths
of the water and strikes to kill, with
out a warning. They take no toll of
money, property or loot simply a toll
of blood and lives to satisfy their
beastly cravings for power and con-
quest. The sinking of the Tuscania has
torn aside forever the veil called Civil
ization behind which the German ma
ton has tried to hide, and from which
has come at different times declarations
that kings ''Ruled by Divine Right,
leaving exposed to the world the vile
beast called Militarism, which has nc
conception of humanity, much less the
right to be called civilized. 1t is this
exposure and the desire for vengeance
for the lives wiped out by her dirty
methods that is making the youth OF
America rush to the colors as they
have never rushed before and is crowd
ing the recruiting Offices in the large
cities to their tmostcapacity. Evans

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Continued From Page ~

the grower knows that tobacco is not
plentiful, but he should be made to put
it up properly. Such E:'wild farming"
as this packer describes it, will come
back to many growers in due time.
Not in long time has the delivery
of tobacco been so late as it is this
year. During the entire season there
have been very few perfect days for
stripping, and on top of this is the clos
ing Of country roads by huge snow
drifts, making deliveries impossible,
even if the tobacco was ready to take
to market. The unusually cold wealth
er which has prevailed this winter and
absence of damp days most favorable
to the stripping has caused numerous
growers to resort to dampening their
tobacco and considerable damage is an
ticipated on this account.

JUDGE EMIL BAENSCH has gathered
from the national army statistics that
Wisconsin ranks first in percentage of
enlistments to the quota to be raised
which is 54.3 per cent. The nearest
any state approaches US is Massachu-
sets at So per cent. This splendid
showing is partly due to the strong
National Guard, which has given Wis
consin an enviable reputation for many
years. 1t will be remembered that in
the Spanish-American war army head
quarters were surprised at the early
wire from Camp Douglass to "send on
your medical officer" and that our
Second and Third regiments were
among the earliest arrivals at Chick
amauga. At any rate, Wisconsin has
splendidly upheld its traditional prompt
ness and loyalty. In 1861. within six
days after the first call, it had its First
regiment ready. and nineteen compan-
les more had offered their services.

If THE members of the Legislature in
special session can forget for the mo-
ment fractional differences and have in
view only the best interests Of the
state, they will accede to the govern
or's suggestion and permit of loyal
American like Congressman Lenroot to
be appointed as senator. To do so
would remove the last question that
Wisconsin does not stand squarely be-
hind the government on a vigorous
prosecution of the war.

BACK of all the work of the cam
paign for war savings, being conducted
throughout the entire state, is the de-
sire to convert a spendthrift nation
into nation of thrift and saving The
workers engaged in this campaign are,
therefore, performing not only pa
triotic duty but are sowing seeds of
thrift that in years to come will yield
q golden harvest.

The evils of tenant farming may
perhaps be better understood when it
is known that in the state of Illinois
nearly half the farms are cultivated by
renters. In Iowa the proportion is
greater. Most of the farmers who
abandon their farms and move to town
are we'll under middle life when men in
other callings are doing their best
work.

AFTER the humiliation and inconven-
fence many aliens have recently sub
mitted to in registration because of
their neglect to take out citizenship
papers, there is no doubt that most of
them will embrace the first opportunity
to remedy the defect. A country worth
living in is worth swearing allegiance
to. don't YOU think?
