old strong German peace ike the one
you gave Russia, how would they
ever catch up with Germany before
your next war?
know some folks say you will not
have enough men left to start an
other war. This is just where the
very eleverest part of your general
plan fits IN. But you must not let so
much leak out about it. If a super
polygamy is to be practired to breed
your next army Of kulture, better keep
the plan on the quiet. The inferior
nations will become even more suspi-
cious If your press and platform have
much more to say about Lateral mar
riages" and secondary marriages
and such plans for breeding new Ger
man soldiers. Wonderful idea, though
if you can get your men and women
to think of themselves as cattle. Bet
ter see that no more of your German
officers are captured with written sug-
gestions on them about such matters
And while I think about it, see that
the Society of Regeneration" and tbs
Hammer Community" and the rest
of the organizations camoufage the
business at least with the name OF
marriage. It would sound better and
leave the inferior nations less suspi
cious. OF course, it's good idea tt
let Carl Torges' book on the new Ger
man polygamy circulate in Germany
It may go in Turkey also. But better
not disgust the outside inferior nations
with it.
But now my dear Kaiser, about
this plan of tearing the boy babe.
away from the breasts of their cap
tured mothers to raise them up int
| German soldiers. Do you think tha
practical? l know they will be raised
scientifcaify~i your German orphan
asylums, but think of the hate it piles
up against Germany. And IS to fore
ing German motherhood on the wo
men and girls Of captured territory
Of course, this breeds more creatures
to slave for Germany and fight fo1
you, but then it breeds more hate t.
grow outside Germany and engult
you. At least, it might help to delay
our good, old strong German peace
Believe me,
Proudly your old teacher,
THE DEVIL.

noted MEN At
FORT WINNEBAGO

Portage Wis.-The records kept of
the historic old Fort Winnebago, near
Portage, Columbia County, reveal that
many noted men famous in American
history were stationed at this frontier
post. During the three year period
from 1928 to 1881 Generals Twiggs,
Harvey, and Lieut.. Jefferson Davis
were all sent there for service Davis
had just graduated from West Point
when he was assigned to duty at this
distant northwest post in the summer
of 1923. He was sent up the Yellow
River, a tributary to the Wisconsin,
and cut the pine logs that were RATED
down in the spring which were used
in building the fort. Gen. David E.
Twiggs was in immediate command
of the fort when it was constructed
and was ably assisted by the young
lieutenant, Davis. Capt. William S.
Harvey, who was later brevetted a
colonel for meritorous conduct in the
Florida Indian wars and was given a
rigadier-general's commission in the
Mexican War, was once in command
of the old fort. Among others who
saw service there, were Gen. William
J. Worth, who had won honors in the
War of 1872, and who exhibited such
ability in the Mexican War as to make
him a candidate for the presidential
Gen. E. V. Sumner who
later commanded the right grand di-
vision at the battle of fredericksburg; |
Lieut.. Randolph B. Marcy, inspector
general during the Civil war, and
father-in-law of Gen. Geo. B. McClel-
Ian; and Lieut.. Edward Kirby Smith,
the dashing Confederate commander
who kept the Union forces so busy in
the southwest during the civil war.

The Bank that does things foryou
Republican State Ticket

There is considerable interest mani
Tested among Republicans in regard
to the nominee for Governor on the
Republican ticket at the coming No
vember election. We believe that the
majority sentiment in the party is
against the denomination of Gov.
Phillip for a third term. For the
good of the party Mr.. Phillips should
keep out of the race. The three corn
cred fight for the nomination between
Phillips. Wilcox and Tittemore leaves
the results of the contest somewhat
in doubt. If the fight were between
Phillips and Wilcox there is not the
least doubt in our mind but what
Wilcox would win. We think he will
on the three cornered contest, but
there would be no doubt of Wilcox's
nomination against Phillips, who
thinks the people want his re-nomina-
ton for third term If the present
Governor is re-nominated for the third
term, there will be a strong possibii-
ty that the next Governor will be a
democrat. Phillips candidacy at this
time is i'll advised and certainly will
prove his defeat and it may be pos
sible will defeat the entire ticket.
When men get into politics and are
successfully elected for two terms,
they become so inflated with the be-
lief that they are so important that
their party must take them for third
and fourth term. The result is that
such candidates defeat themselves as
well as their party often times. If
Gov. Phillips should succeed in OBJ
tanning a denomination for Governor
he will fail in his election. He doesn't
believe this now but he will believe
it after election. This is simply a
historical fact connected with the am
bition of men for third and fourth
terms in public office 1t might be
advisable for Gov. Phillips to advise
with Ex-Governor McGovern and ask
him why it is that he is now q. politi-
cal failure, and wholly out of public
Office. If he will tell the truth, it will
be that he was a candidate for office
once too often, and that he is practi-
cally politically dead

ries. Just why people will charge fo-
picking berries, which would otherwise
go to waste, is more than we can I'M
derstand. It strikes US a good deal
like taking advantage of circumstances
that are brought on by war conditions.
It has been currently reported that
there were large numbers Of blueber-
ries and raspberries and for the pur
pose of conserving everything that is
eatable, many people have gone to the
trouble of hiring teams and automo-
biles to take them into open fields and
pastures in the surrounding country
believing that most people, would like
to see the spirit manifest of gathering
the berry crop that otherwise might
go to waste The spirit shown by
many people of going out to gather
the berries should not have been handi
capped by charging fee, or other
wise driving people off of private pro-
perty by using elusive language, ETC.,
unless the individual property owner
desired to pick their own berries. The
conditions brought on by the war in
which we are all asked to conserve
and practice economy in every way
possible, is the spirit which prompts
many people to go out and gather
berries that under normal conditions
they would not do. The war spirit
of the "Hun" variety appears to be
abroad in some parts of our land here
at home. We desire to apologize for
such persons who are so niggardly in
clined.
