Sixty Years.

1t will be mere matter of sixty years Au-
gust 20 that the first message was transmitted by
transatlantic cable. Queen Victoria exchanged
greetings with President Buchanan, and the peo-
pies OF the world marveled and thought the peak
of human achievement had been scaled
Now it is proposed to send great focks of fight
ing airplanes the Maj. Gen.
William Brancker of the British air service be-
ieves the allied air drive "on to Berlin" will start
right here in the United States.
A few months before the first cable message
travelled beneath the waters of the sea few there
we're who believed it possible. Now have come
70 consider the sending of acablegram a thing as
ordinary mailing postcard
The transatlantic flight can be made. 1t will
De made, and having been made by airplane
here isn't a reason earth why hundreds and
thousands of airplanes cannot duplicate the feat.
The question is, when? If it so happens that it
made this August, what more fitting celebra-
ion of the cables anniversary could be staged?

War labor.

After August no employer with war business
who has force of more than 100 workers will be
permitted to recruit common labor and all such
employees will be required to use the Federal EN-
ployment Service In time it is proposed to extend
the Federal agency's employment field to include
skilled labor. 1t will from the beginning regulate
and control employment in nonwar work by govern
mental control over materials, fuel and trans
portation.
The new labor-supply program will be conduct
ed IN accordance with the following four cardinal
principles:
I. War work must have men at any cost
= Withdrawals of workers from nonessential
industries for war industries will be equalized.
; The volunteer principle will be followed in
dealing with the individual worker.
+ Only it men will be sent to war industries
This means that the labor resources of the
country are going to back up the fighting resources
in the most efficient and capable 1t means
the end of wholesale labor stealing" and "poach-
ing that has been largely responsible for the dis
organization of the labor supply. No longer will
private labor agencies reap profit by tempting
workers in one part of the country to leave their
jobs and go to another section, often far distant
under promises, many highly colored, of higher
wages.
Inadequate the immediate supply of un-
skilled labor is, from IS to- 40 per cent of it has
been rendered idle because it has been rushed from
place to place by the recruiting agents.
Farmers will be OF the essential producers
to benefit. In many sections, notably in the
SouS ind East, farms have been swept bare of la
Dor y private recruiting agents. This practice
will be ended and this year agents will be prevented
from going farms and taking away harvest la
Dor at the time it is most needed
There will be no conscription of labor nothing
compulsory upon the workers side other thap
the work fight" order affects those of draft
age, and there will be attempt made to prevent
any worker from changing his job applying for
another one if he wants to. The restraint will be
all the side of the labor-recruiting employer
For instance it will be impossible for street
company which boycotts its own employees because
they union buttons to go out into the rural
districts and coax farm hands out of the food
fields.
Another thing, if the workers receive labor ap
peals from the United States Employment Service
they will know that there is dire need. Writing
about the employment service, President Wilson
says: at must also protect labor from insncere
and thoughtless appeals made to it under the plea
of patriotism and assure it that when it is asked
to volunteer in some priority industry, the need
is real"
This is nothing more less than getting
war labor problems down to real win-the-war
efficiency, placing work above all other, where
it rightly belongs and where it must stay until the
day of final and complete victory.

Our Apology to the Devil.

We have been calling the Kaiser names and
in way. it does seem childish doesn't il! Be
cause the Kaiser is just the Kaiser. just one of
6o,ooo.ooo Germans and largely the product of his
heritage and his environment.
But on the other hand, he is the emblem, the
symbol of the idea which the Germans have set
up and consequently we are entitled to use him
convenient target.
But quite aside from this impersonal idea, there
is personality of the Kaiser which we have been
comparing to that of the devil, and so now we'd
like to apologize to the devil We don't pretend
to know any more about his Satanic majesty
(meaning the devil, not the Kaiser) than other
people do, but this much seems clear; he is the
embodiment of evil in the world. Being such, he
is not responsible for himself. As long as evil
exists in the world. in various FORMS and we want
to condense it to personality, some personality
has to stand for it, and have elected the devil
'Tisnt exactly his fault AS far as we know, he
wasn't even candidate for the position. He's the
embodiment of evil He's the devil; that's all.
That's as bad as bel you say. 1t would
seem SO, but not quite The Kaiser goes the devil
one better. Joking? Not bit of it We say it
deliberately. The Kaiser is worse than the devil
And here's the proof.
The devil is content to be the embodiment of
evil. He is frankly and candidly the devil He's
not sneak. cur, coward He doesn't dodge
his own evil He's not hypocrite!
But the Kaiserl He blames his devilishness on
God. He keeps claiming that Diety is responsible
for his wars his murders, his sehrecklichkeit This
is nothing new in him. All through his career he
has claimed to be the war lord the divine choice
and voice, until me and Gott" became proverb
at least twenty years ago.
The Kaiser had a. choice between war and peace,
between good and sevil, between democracy and
autocracy between civilization and screcklichkeit
He deliberately chose the worse in everv instance
He is damned of his own election
Not so the devil His worst enemies have never
accused him of Dragging about me and Gott"
By the vote of the world made him Emperor of
Hades and we keep him there. Wen leave it to a
vote of the world whether Bill Hohenzollern shall
remain Emperor of Germany.
So If ever we have compared the Kaiser to the
devil, we apologize-to the devil The devil is the
devil, but the Kaiser is the Kaiser.

niversary of my coming to this island
and In good health and like to live
and get an estate albeit OF late my
thoughts have been on all else save
labor, which saddens me.
Came Mr.. Galloway. who hath late

merry over this Quip and that. The
tailor having finished my black suit,

not bid.
A fellow in Longacre did tell me to
watch the door Of an inn and would
see Mr.. Fairbanks do some acrobatics
for the film turner's. but he did not
appear. and I to the bowling alleys
and played indifferentiy well. but did
hurt to my arm which Is hardly able
to be stirred.

Wisconsin was again the first state
to report in full on the June 5th
draft.
Although no centers of hog cholera
infection have been found in the state,
many farmers are taking precaution
to prevent its occurrence. In NJ
week recently, $1,000 cubic centimet-
ers Of serum were shipped to Wiscon-
sin farmers from the state serum
plant at Madison. The veterinarians
of the Agricultural Experiment sta
ton already have a surplus of serum
on hand, but they will run at full
capacity the entire season in order to
accumulate a supply that will be
large enough for any emergency.

Executive clemency was extended
by Gov. Philip in five cases during
July. James Croft and Edward Oh
son, Madison, convicted of murder in
December, 1912, had their sentences
cut to fourteen years. They were
sentenced to life terms. Croft, Olson
and a man named James Lynch pick
ed the pockets of Peter Olstad, Cot
tage Grove, and the following morn
ing Olstand was found in Lake Vino
ma. At the trial the defendants re-
fused to take the stand and all were
convicted. Recent evidence furnish
ed shows that while Olson and Croft
helped in the theft they were not
guilty of numbering the man. This
is the eason for the governor ex-
tending clemency to Croft and Olson
in reducing their terms. They will be
eligible for parole next spring. Os-
car Powers, Milwaukee, convicted on
June %, 1917, of manslaughter in the
first degree, had his sentence reduc-
ed from eight to two years. He will
soon be eligible to parole. Frank

William and Hulda Hille and their
employee, Ernest Fentz, were found
dead at the farm home near Milwau-
kee. The tragedy was a strange and
mysterious one. Fentz's body was
found at the doorstep with a bullet
through the head. Upstairs was the
body of Miss Hille with a partially
empty glass of poison beside her. In
another room lay William Hille on a
bed. His brains were blown out and
a discharged shotgun with a lath rig
ging was beside him. Five valuable
trotting horses were dead in the barn.
A house dog was also dead. Unearth-
ly quiet brooded On the farm. The
theory the police have is that Fentz
threatened his employers with charg-
es of blackmail and charges of dis
loyalty. That Hilles brooded and
then killed everything on the farm,
seems certain. A rudely scrawled re-
ceipt for $50 'for protection against
exposure" was found and this is
supposed to explain Hilles' reason
for the tragedy. His sister had told
a neighbor that she expected to end
it all; they had had so much troub-
le." Elder Krause, a farmland o
bationer is o being looked for.
Krause worked in the ne~ighborhood
and pretended to farmers that he was
"a secret service man" A series of
tragedies have pursued the Hilles
family. More than thirty years ago
the mother took poison for quinine
and died. A brother was gored to
death by o bull. Other fatalities
seem to make the family cursed by
fate.
