educational system would be to revise
the system from top TO bottom by re-
yising the constitution. The spirit, If
not the letter, of that constitution is
violated by imposing boards on our
system. AT the present time il is a
matter OF board over boards: at the
best, such an arrangement is a need
less expenditure of money; and at the
worst IL spells conflict and confusion
unutterable. But even il our system
permitted a state board, this is the
wrong road to efficiency. This is the
road to mediocrity,-and mediocrity Is
something the world at large has not
accused US Of under our original sys-
tenn Wisconsin has made in the past
few years greater strides in it's COM
mon schools than any other state in
the UniOn--this at least is the way
competent person. outside the state
put the matter. If Wisconsin has $780,
600 10 spend in the next two years on
boards OF education that are uneces-
sary 1t may still be said that the loss
Of efficiency and time in the school
system from confusing and conflicting
laws and authorities is inexcusable
The State Board OF Education can be
eliminated without loss OF efficiency in
any direction. The result will be a
simplincation of our situation educa-
tionally and alrge saving OF time and
money.

POLITICAL

| A new feature not in the memory of
! the oldest inhabitant has been expert
enced; a state political campaign with
out speeches, meetings, parades or red
fire, in fact with nothing but news
paper advertising and two weeks of
gum-shoeing. By common consent the
two American political parties put off
the political campaigns until the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive would be
closed ON October oath. Then when
the loan campaign had closed the
health authorities had taken a hand
and the word meeting" was anathema
on account of the influenza epidemic.
The congressional fight in this dis
trict seems to be attracting more in
terest than the state campaign. 1t is
interesting partly by reason of the fact
that for the first time outside Milwau-
kee there is a real three-cornered con-
test While few informed persons give
Thompson, Socialist, chance, still he
is conceded chance of carrying Mani
towoc and Calumet counties and any
thing may come out of the present
chaotic political conditions. Lampert,
Republican, a shop-worn, perpetual
candidate for office is making a des-
perate effort to hold the district in the
Republican column. His Democratic
opponent, Bonduel Husting, a bright,
clean young lawyer of Fond du Lac,
brother of the late Senator Paul Hust-
ing, Of blessed memory is putting up
sturdy battle and if the drift of far
mers and labor union men to the So
cialist candidate is as strong as has
been represented he will have several
thousands of votes to spare when the
count is made, a consummation to be
wished.
If the tide in German-American dis
tricts to Socialism indicated last
spring and again at the primaries is
indicative of the vote to be cast next
Tuesday the battle for county offices
lies between the Socialists and Demo
Gratis American voters can take the
cue and by voting the Democratic
county ticket see to it that Manitowoc
does not raise the yellow flag.
In all modern history there has
been no war more unjustifable than
the war in which we are about to en-
gage" That is the official Socialist
platform. That is what all Socialists
stand for. Can you. the voters, shoul-
der the responsibility of putting that
party in power? Think It over.

Tuschel this morning when he went to
his room to awake him. The deceased

rash act. District Attorney Brady was
called out there and decided that an
inquest was not necessary.

Some smart individual waited until
