To those who know Germany from
personal experience, the question
arises as to whether the German peo-
pie, aside from the ruling caste, have
anything to gain from a final victory
in this war. If there is truth in the
philosophy of Democracy, the answer
must be NO. The German masses
can gain nothing by victory of Ger
man autocracy, they have much to
gain from it's defeat.
Germany is only an expanded Prus-
STA, and its curse is militar1sm. A
German victory would only help this
military autocracy to strengthen its
own position Seldom has a triumph
ant despot extended the civic rights of
his people. Victory makes an auto
cratic government arrogant and over
bearing. 1t is in defeat that it yields
to tho demands of those who bear the
burden.
1t was thus with Prussia in 1906 and
1907; Austria made many reforms
after her crushing defeat in 1866;
France became a real Republic after
the disaster of 1870; Russia awoke
after her humiliation by Japan in
1904. And so it will inevitably be
with Germany.
First, Prussianism: the system which
declares that citizens exist only for
the purposes of the State; which I'M
der apparently democratic forms
makes the Kaiser nearly an absolute
ruler and makes his Army and his
higher officials responsible only to him.
The autocratic rule of Prussia is only
possible on account of the steady on
ward march of the military machine.
A defeat of Prussia in 1866 would
have swept away the whole Prussian
tyranny. Only defeat will do so
now.
With the Prussian system must stand
and fall-the militaristic system,
for the two are one. The essence of it
is a military class, with powers dis
tinct from and at many points supe-
rior to those of the civic authorities,
by which it is in no way controlled.
1t is hard to see how the political
power and personal rights of the ordi-
nary citizen can flourish in any ma
ton burdened with such system.
And it is harder to see how any active
movement for greater political and
personal rights can progress in the
face of such a system triumphant.
Only defeat can undermine it's power.
Another part of this Prussian sys-
tenn is the caste of civic officials. It's
great curse is that it's training tends
to make each man in it a tyrant on a
small scale And the more important
members of this caste have been
born into it, or have been drawn in
so early, that they know no other life,
and think no other thoughts, than
those of this officialdom. There is no
real contact with the crowd, who are
looked upon as only pawns in the
great game played by the State. Ar
rogant and overbearing as this caste
is. even in it's humblest members, a

STATE. TRUNK HIGHWAY
SYSTEMMARKED

Practically everyone has noticed the
white bands appearing all over the
State on telephone poles, and the black
triangle outline containing the words
estate Trunk Highway" with num-
Der and the word evils at the bottom
of the triangle.
This is the visual evidence that a
road or street is on the State Trunk
Highway System. Each trunk high
way has different number and the
marking is to enable the traveller to
pick up number and easily follow
the especial state trunk highway or
highways which takes him to his des-
tination.
The State Trunk Highway System
comprises 5000 miles of road Stretches
of varying length are maintained by a
patrolman, there being nearly SEQ of
these patrolmen now working in main
tanning the system. Each county is
responsible for the maintenance of the
system within it's limits but the cost
of this maintenance, up to certain
amount per mile is repaid the county
by the state out of the p oceeds of
automobile license fees.
Already the system of main roads of
Wisconsin is much improved by this
maintenance and as the patrolmen
gain experience and the whole organ
ization gets in working order the re
suits are bound to be wonderfully
marked.
The Wisconsin Highway Commission
will be glad to be notified Of any mark
ings SO indefinite that the system can
not be followed, (which is especially
apt to occur in cities and vilages) of
any inattention to duty on the part of
the patrolmen, or of any stretches of
the state system not now adequately
maintained.
The Commission states that the only
way in which the ultimate results can
be secured from this maintenance is
through the cooperation of the general
travelling public. Constructive criti-
cism is welcomed, as with all the Com
missions efforts it cannot keep con-
stantly in touch with every patrol
man, or see every stretch of road often
enough to prevent all blunders.
For the convenience of the travelling
public the legislature provided that a
map of the Trunk Highway System
should be published showing the same
mum bers on the various roads that are
displayed on the telephone poles along
them. With this map anyone desiring

SEEK FOOD ECONOMY
IN FOOD EXHIBITS

How to teach the newer ways of
preparing foods without wasting food
through exhibits or even without ex-
hibits entirely is the problem the
Food Administration is asking to have
solved. The county fairs are now ar.
ranging their premium lists, and any
suggestions for teaching without the
use of exhibits will be gladly received
now. In many of the counties, the
food demonstration is sold at auction
and the proceeds given to the Red
Cross. This serves threefold pur,
pose: the food exhibited should ocn-
vince the people that the products are
desirable; the food is not wasted but is
used legitimately in feeding people; it
furnishes money for the Red Cross.

would be unwise and dangerous.

THE president speaks of the effect

there they understand the meaning
of elections. They do, and they will
know that if the republicans have a
majority in congress, the war will be
pressed with greater vigor than ever
before. They are quite aware that
she power of the senate is equal to
that of the president in the consum-
nation of peace by treaty. They
will know that the republican part
stands for victorious peace, and the
overthrow of Prussian militarism.
That knowledge will not depress the
spirit OF our allies or encourage the
government of Germany
Up To Military Leaders.
"The republican party believes that
the question of surrender should be
left to Marshal Foch, to the generals
and TO the armies in the field When
they report Germany has laid down
her arms, the United .Statss and the
allies should then impose their terms
