COMMUNICATED

What a man SowS he shall reap. If
we continue to sow hatred we shall reap
its fruits. The campaign of hate promuI-
gated in our country is gradually bearing
its fruit. Let's cut it out, root ii out
quick, wherever found. No good can
be accomplished by campaign of hate.
Much has been said and written re-
garding our recent election. Some peo-
pie want to make it appear that they
were much surprised at the result. But
why should they pretend TO be. The
result was inevitable in the face OF meth
DDS used by a certain element among
our voters.
The proof for this statement can be
found in the reading of the advertising
used and the editorials that were written.
Let us go back to the primary. What
was the campaign there Was it against
the socialistic candidate? No! Was ii
not rather against the two candidates
with German names? 1t was against
Marth and Paulus. OF course, the dem
ocratS and republicans did not want 10
see Marth win, but why should they op-
pose PauluS?
Then why inject the loyalty question
. The inference made was that any candi-
date with a German name could not
possibly be q loyal American citizen,
and that's the rub Such stuff will not go
down the throat of the man and woman
of German extraction without resent
ment. No man has a right TO condemn
80 per cent of a class of citizenship for
the per cent that may not be what they
ought to be. We would not kill off a
whole community because one of its
number had taken anotheE'S life No,
there must be a reconstruction of our
thinking Altogether too many men
and women carry with them the thought
that no man with German name can
pP,sibly be loyal to this, his country.
" year or more we have been taught
TO suspect large part of our citizenship,
and what the result will be no one knows
Countrymen, we are all in the same
boat You men who are suSpecting your
fellow citizens of German blood can't
get away from them and they can't get
away from you, We must not fight each
other, lest we tip the boat and all are
lost.
There are very dark days ahead.
America will need the undivided support
of all of it's citizens to come out of this
strife and turmoil whole and success
fully. Let's quit this despicable business
of nagging each other and get to the
oars. The need is calling for all of our
strength, all that we are and have, let's
not waste one ounce of il in fighting
each other.

UNITED PEOPLE.

FATHER AND SON WEEK
Observed at the Y. M. G.. A. on Thurs
day, Friday and Sunday.

The past week has been one of great
activity at the Y. M. C. A. The
Fathers and Sons gathered there in
large numbers and enjoyed the pro-
grams arranged by Secretary Davis
and the various committees. Thurs
day, the evening on which the Fathers
and Sons participated in supper in the
Y NJ. c. A. gymnasium, was the occa-
sion of the heaviest snow storm of the
winter and yet it did not keep away
those who had ordered plates re-
served for the supper, at which there
were $50 seated. The supper was
served by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Y. M. C. A. and how they managed to
give such a splendid supper at 25
cents per plate, was riddle to the
many heads of families present. The
dinner program consisted of
brief talks, with S. B. Tobey as toast
master. Judge A. H. Reid, G. H. In
graham, r. l.. Sturtevant, w. H.
Wones, F. E. Bump, and Rev. w. H.
Gould, responded and made the even
ing very interesting and helpful along
lines of the Father and Son move
ment.
The event was one of the successes
in the history of the Y. M. G. A and
it closed with singing of national airs
On Friday evening there was an
athletic program arranged for in the
gymnasium of the Y. M. G. A., which
was largely attended.
On Sunday at p. M, Father C. F
Hinton, of st. Johns church, talked
| to a Father and Son meeting at the

AN OLD-TIME BLIZZARD
Wausau Hit Hard by the Worst Storm
of the Winter, on Thursday

The people of Wausau were greeted
with raging snow storm on Thurs
day morning. The day previous had
been an ideal day, spring-like and
very warm and when the storm came
up from the north east, the snow was
damp and soft, next to sleet, and
everything out-of-dOorS was covered
with heavy coating of snow, such
as one only has the privilege of wit
Messing occasionally in a life time.
Later the wind increased until after
the noon hour it became a perfect
gale, the fine snow falling so thickly
that one could hardly see only a
dozen feet ahead. This continued
until late in the evening, the weather
growing colder all the time. The
wind shifted around to the north and
before Friday morning the clouds
rolled away and zero weather was
with us again.
On the st. Paul road the storm
was the most severe from the extreme
end of the line north to Junction City.
All through freights were suspended.
The north and south bound passen-
gers were several hours late. The
7:30 a. M, train, Friday morning was
about four hours late.
Freights were suspended on the c.
& n. W. road Thursday and no pas
senger trains came over the road on
Thursday night. Passenger trains
due here at 9:05 and 1905 Friday
morning We're three hours late.
Throughout the county the roads
were blockaded by large snow drifts
and it took several days to open them
for travel. e.,
The mail carriers were stalled on
Thursday, only one being able to go
over his route. Friday conditions
were even worse and none were able
to make the rounds.
The street cars were able to run
but not on schedule time exactly. 1t
was necessary for the snow pillow to
be run over the line continually to
prevent the line being blockaded. The
company is to be congratulated on
the excellent service given its patrons.

How Columbus Was MisIed.

Every schoOlboy knows that when
Columbus discovered the island of
Cuba and the rest of the western
world that he did not know he had
discovered a new world, but thought
he had circumnavigated the globe and
had found a new way to cross the
ocean to Asia. 1t is a curious fact
that the Indians of the island of Cuba
unconsciously confirmed this belief. Ha
asked them the name of one of the
villages, and they said, "Cubanaca,"
and Columbus thought that they were
saying, "Kublaikahan," the name of
the Tartar village mentioned by Marco
Polo, whose record Columbus had
read.

about him as the medicine we gave

ENEMY PROMISE UNCERTAIN.
Swiss Grain Ships Still May Be Sunk
Berlin Says.

AMSTERDAM, April 26.-Germany
has given no positive guarantee that
ships from America sailing within the
next three months with grain for Swift
zerland will not be sunk, it is shown by
semi official telegram from Berlin.
The German government, says the
message, has not left the Swiss govern
ment i'll doubt that although an order
has been sent to the submarines to
spare vessels carrying grain from
America for the Swiss population it is
impossible to guarantee their safety
before three months have elapsed. Re
ferring to the fact that such vessels
will sail under the American flag the
telegram says:
tShould any German war vessel not
receive such order and sink one or
these vessels the responsibility will not
