Rerjiies to Claxton

The article by P. P Claxton in The
News Of April 4 in regard to our fu-
ture friendly relations with Germany
has aroused such hot rebellion, such
a feeling Of protest in my mind, feel
like shouting protest from the house
tops! How can we ever be friends
with Germany again? How can we
paper her most binding agreement or
her most solemn promise? How can
gain, even in dollars and cents, lead
us to forget even for one moment this
horrible monster She has let loose On
a peaceful world? There is no word
or series of words strong enough to
name this monster in our language,
or any either Germany should be an
outlaw, an Outcast among nations. Her
people after the war should not be al
lowed to come to our country. We
are far too lenient with the alien en-
emies and spies we have here now for
our own good. There is no punish
ment in this world to fit the crimes
that Germany has perpetrated on
peaceful people defending their coun-
try We are told the people are not
heart and soul with the kaiser; we are
again told they are heart and soul
with the kaiser; which shall we be-
lieve? Every German who is in SYM
pathy with the rulers Of their country
should be deported without loss OF
time They are doing harm to a coun-
try that has had only good, and gain,
and freedom for them, such as they
never experier ced before. Teach
French and English to the Germans
if necessary-teach justice and mercy
and honor along with them But let
no one teach us to forget such crimes
and be friends for the sake Of Ger
many's culture, or literature, or sci
ence and ability, or the all-persuasive
dollar We can get along without
them or supply our own.

Lives of Sacrifice

The national war-savings committee
has recently issued the following:
The lepers at Molokai, one of
the Hawaiian Islands, have bought
$4,000 worth of thrift and war
savings stamps as their cOntr!bu-
ton toward the cost Of winning
the war. This inspiring example
of patriotism from such an unex-
pected source, thousands Of miles
from the battle front, and from
people seemingly so far removed
by the very nature Of their unfor-
tunate condition from all Of its in
fuences, has been brought to the
attention of the national warsaw
ings committee by letter writ
ten to a friend in Memphis, Tenn,
by Brother Joseph DuttOn, now in
charge of the island colony.
Brother Dutton is the man [ have
spoken about in these columns on pre-
vious occasions. With a brilliant mil
itary record, earned during the Civil
War, with a splendid government pO-
sitiOn after the war, and finished ed
ucatiOn, he abandoned the world and
took up his life work as assistant to
Father Damian in the leper colony.
Father Damian was stricken with the
disease soon after Brother buttons ar
rival and at the end Of nine years,
with tie flesh sloughing from his
bones, the fingers dropping from his
hands, he died and was buried on the
island without the blare Of trumpet or
the p0mp Of circumstance. But in dy-
ing he gave US the grandest example
of human sacrifice for others sake
that this great big world affords
At the death of Father Damian
Brother DuttOn took charge Of the
colony and through life Of selfdenial
extending over 81 years he has min
istered to the spiritual and temporal
welfare Of these Unfortunate people
Like his charges, he may never leave
the island, but he flies the stars and
stripes above the leper camp and
takes a lively and abiding interest in
everything pertaining to the welfare
of his beloved country.
Long, long years after all the blood
stained princes of earth shah ha' +
crumbled into dust the lives q II

ing a few remnants of old telegraph
poles along the east side of Yankee
street across Sank Prairie, where
telegraph line had been constructed,
I believe, between Baraboo and Sank
City. It was soon wrecked, however,
by the careless farmers. One of them
said that when coming home from
town we would attach the wire to the
rear wheel spoke of our wagons and
drive ahead, letting the wire wind
around the hub" The line has passed
away, so also has the person who
made the statement.
Now, old Sank Prairie has a net
work Of wires, like spiderwebS, lining
its highways. The great Wis. L. H. &
P. line has been completed, transform
ers placed and the electric current
from the Prairie du Sac dam was
turned on for the farmers use Satur-
day night, April 6, 1918.
Erwin Youngs place is finely illum-
mated, which may be seen all over

use will be grand, but l don't know
how expensive they will be. l remem-
Der a remark that was made by Mel
tiah Willis, who lived on the J. R.
Carpenter place. during the Civil War
times. The people had been using
tallow candles for Illuminating pur-
poses. About that time oil was dis
covered and put on the market for
such purposes. 1t was called burning
fluid and sold at $125 per gallon. The
price soon came down to 60 cents per
gallon. Willis appreciated the price
reduction, as we'll as the brilliant
lights to be used in lamps and Ian
terms, when he said, Burning fluid is
cheaper than daylight" 1t may not
be so with electric lights, but it is the
next thing to daylight

Writes a Poem

This office has received a letter
from Prof. G. w. Waddell, formerly a
resident at the Lower Narrows of the
Baraboo river, and Of the city Of Bar
abOo, which states that he has been
lecturing on the war ever since Uncle
Sam proclaimed to the world that he
was going to help lick the kaiser. He
meets with response everywhere.
Since leaving Baraboo he has written
another small book entitled GA Key to
the Alpha and Omega Chart" This
makes the fifth volume from Mr.. Wad-
dells pen He has also written a
poem, which has been copyrighted,
and which runs as follows:
THEY'LL KNOCK L OUT OF BILL
This summer, as l travel,
In city or country town,
I'm confronted with our soldier boys
All dressed in suits of brown.
The railroads are all loaded,
Boys are going with will,
Determined, everyone of them
To knock L out Of Bill.
Our soldier boys are full of vim,
Their courage never falters,
And when they sail for Europe,
Across the dark blue waters,
Should they chance to meet a battle
ship,
And, we don't know but they will,
They'll do their best, we know it,
To knock L out Of Bill.

To builG an Empire Grand,

lie started straight for Paris,
But the Belg'an were not still.
They fought like little devils,
And they knocked L out of Bill.
And if our boys can't do it,
And they call for older men,
Well go, all under sixtyfve,
All able-hodied men.
And what Wen do to Billy,
He will never live to tell.
There'H be no L in Billy then,
Cause Billy'I be in L.
He started out to conquer.
ME and Cod" said he, twill win,
WE will build a mighty Empire,
And WE'LL dictate what is sin"
But, Bill Kaiser! God don't need you
He knows your heart too well.
And, this war would soon be over,
If your carcass was in L.
And, when Germany is rid of him,
| mean this Kaiser Bill,
They will form better government.
| know they can and will.
But Kaiser Bill is going.
Better say to him: Farewell"
Our U. S. troops can do the deed.
They'll knock L out of Bill.

Change La Toilette to La Fayette

[ notice there is a movement to
change the names of those towns
which now have German names, like
Berlin Bismarck, etc. Our common
council would cover itself with glory
if it would change the name Of La
Toilette avenue to La Fayette avenue.
W;sconsin's reputation has so suffered

should think no loyal citizen would
want to live on street named after
him, and that no loyal city would want
to perpetuate the name.
