The Bury the Hammer Club

A social worker from another town
who was visiting here the other day
was telling about how things were 60
ing ahead in the community where
she lives. This town maintains a
large club house for all forms of com
munity work. The town is advancing
in every respect. 1t is building new
streets, laying out parks, improving
housing conditions for workers, and
running municipal affairs on bust
ness basis.
what is the secret" was the ques-
ton the club members asked
Don't know" replied the young wo-
man, except that whatever we take
hold of and try to do, we always find
people willing to cooperate. 1t seems
to be a pleasure to everyone to take
hold and help. If people are asked
to serve on committees they don't
refuse except for urgent reasons, and
they take hold and work"
1t was the opinion of the club that
in so far as Grand Rapids acquires
that spirit it is bound to make a splend
id advance.

Out for Congress

Messrs. DIR. F. A. Walters Of Stew
ems Point and Michael G. Eberlein of
Shawano, both Republican candidates
for Congress in this district were in
Grand Rapids the past week looking
after their political fences and inter
est, and while here were social callers
at the Reporter printing office. While
they were not in our office both at the
same time, we enjoyed our visit with
them and they are both sanguine that
they are going to win out in the nom
nation for that office against the pres
ent incumbent Edward E. Browne of
Waupaca. Both candidates have been
impressions. Both candidates were in
excellent spirits and confident that
they stood a good show of nomination
from their standpoint. They were
both positive in their opinion that
Congressman Browne would not be
re-nominated and of course each of
them thought they would be the for
tunate successor. The people of the
eighth congressional district can be
satisfied of one thing, that the nomina
ton and election of any one of the
three candidates in the field will in
sure US efficient service in Congress.
We know what Congressman Browne
has been the past three terms and be-
lieve that he will continue as well as
he has been in the past. In the Sc
| lection of either one of the new men
we have equally the same assurance,
that they will make an excellent rec
ord for themselves, Individually, and
the party to which they belong. We
therefore need not worry about the
outcome whichever one of the three
are nominated. A nomination in this
district is equal to an election for the
district is safely Republican.

The Anti-COllar League

A determined New York man has
started the "Anti-Collar League" and
parades of the revolutionary organi-
aztion are reported There is nothing
new about such demonstrations Uncle
Reuben is the first authentic member.
He has consistently upheld it's prin-
ciples for many years. To empha-
size his loyalty, he often goes collar
less in winter when a good wide band
would save him from sore throat.
So far no young man with a best
girl has dared to show the slightest
interest in the organization. 1t takes
the enthusiasm of youth to conduct
revolutionary movements. Govern
ment officials might possibly be IA
vorable centers for this revolt to
spread. The collarless habit might
convince some of the voters that the
official belonged to the common people
1t is no doubt true that the collar is
the badge of subsection. But man
was born to bear the yoke One su-
spects that the wives of the founders
of this league are merely away on
summer vacation.

Wilcox for Governor

OF the three Republican candidates
up for nomination for Governor in
the State, we favor Roy P. Wilcox.
Our reasons for supporting him are
the following.
First-His record in the Wisconsin
Legislature as Senator is excellent.
His vote on most all questions are
right and in the interest of the com
mon people. His Americanism is I'M
questioned. His record is such that
you can tell just where he stood on
all questions.
Second-While he may be classed
as former Stalwart, he has never
been Extensively so, and is now in ia
vor of not only uniting the Repubh-
can Party, but all factions that want
to join together in winning the war
and standing together for the mutual
good, and loyal Americanism.
Third-He has always been found
on the right side of all questions con-
nected with the present war with Ger
many. He has been willing and act
i've in the service of the nation, state,
county and city in which he lives. He
has been right from the start and
has never wavered in his position of
supporting every move and interest
that favored the Government in doing
his bit towards winning the war.
We, therefore believe from every
thing that we know personally of Mr..
Wilcox and from everything that we
have read about him and learned from
others he is unquestionably the best
qualified, the safest, and will prove to
be the right man in the right place,
at the right time. to do the right thing
for the people of Wisconsin. His
nomination means the success of his
party this fall. His election means
efficiency and a square deal" for
everybody in the state without refer
ence to anything else. He is under
no obligations to anyone and can as
sumo and discharge the duties of Gov
ernor without in any way being handi
capped by obligations to any faction
OF click
We sincerely believe that Roy P.
Wilcox will be nominated for Cover
nor on the Republican ticket at the
September primary; we further be-

AUSTRIAN NAVAL
BASE DESTROYED

London, Oct. 4.-American, Brit
ish and Italian warships have de-
stroyed the Austrian naval base at
Durazo, Albania. This sensational
exploit, carried out Wednesday,
seems to have reduced the AustriaDs
to one large naval center in the Ad-
riatic. that of Pola, although the
port of Fiume may be used.
The attack coming at a time when
the Austrians in southern Albania
are in dire straits after losing their
support lines eastward through Mac
edonia. appears to be significant.
Italian troops launched an offensive
there on Tuesday. 1t suggests that
military operations may be begun
along the northern Albanian coast
in the rear of the retreating Austri-
ans and the situation holds large
possibilities.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
DIR. DANIELS EXPLAINS ORIGIN
AND SPREAD OF THE
DISEASE.

The spread of the dread Spanish
influenza throughout the east and at
all large army cantonments, with its
attending mortality, has caused
much speculation regarding the his
tory of this ravaging epidemic and a
desire on the part of the public to
know something OF its nature and
power to spread. Since it has de-
veloped in our own locality a request
was made of a local physician hat he
state some known facts in this con-
n%ection. There follows his descrip-
ton of this rapidly spreading dis
ease:
Having served the state for the
past seven years as one OF it's state
health officers, and SO many people
thinking that / was in a position to
tell them what this Spanish influ-
enza" is, I will answer by saying
that so far as the best of authorities
know, it is the same plague that WIS.,
tied this country as well as Europe
in 1S91-1892. and was known then
as grippe" 1t is called Spanish in
~fluenza sometimes called Russian)
as 1t cen to have appeared first on
the Iberian peninsula and from there
is or has spread around the world.
The Chicago and Minneapolis
health departments recognize the
pernicious bug" as Pfeiffe's influ-
enza bacillus, and with our surgeon
general, Rupert Blue, OF Washington,
d. c., claim 1t is the same bacillus
that. appeared in our former epidemic

tact and nor epidemic in crowded
or closed places. Quarantine is use

less, but isolation can be practiced to
good advantage. 1t runs its course
in from two to five days and is not
serious If no complications develop.
Pneumonia and bronchitis seem to be
its worst and most frequent compli-
cation.
Health officers recommend that
rest in bed, plenty of fresh air and
good light, easily digested food, with
proper medication under the direc-
ton of a physician and most cases
will recover in a very few days.-W.
