head about the surface.
What we have said before we
now repeat it. We are unalter-
ably, uncOmpromisingly opposed
to discrimination against citizens
based on color or race. We do
not believe that a man should be
singled ont for different treat
ment any more on account Of the
color Of his skin, of his eyes or
hair. The one is as much at home
in a democracy as the other, and
neither could long survive the
penetrating rays of the sun of
true democracy.
We do not believe that any
thoughtful cOlOred person having
the future Of his race at heart
could advocate such move. If
there is, we purpose to warn him
against the mere appearance of
giving it his support. There may
be some temporary advantage in
having the handiwork of the
colored people to- itself where
they can receive credit for II. But
the advantage will be only tenn
porary, the disadvantages will be
felt by our children and our
children s children even to the
remotest generation.
Before it is too late let us reg
lister our opposition to this new
move to introduce southern ideas
in free Wisconsin.

HIKE AND BATTLE
OF 1O3RD T. M, B,

Last Monday morning at a. m. the
103rd Trench Mortar Battery and the
the 1O9th. 10th 11lth. and 112th Infan-
try left Camp Hancock for one of the
most successful hikes in which units of
this division have participated. In fine
spirit the men marched to Augusta, then
down Broad street leaving the city by
the lower bridge. After eleven miles of
sandy roads, the men, feeling mighty
hungry, but with spirits high swung into
L2ngly where the faithful Kitchen SOL
diers' furnished a good feed for mess.
At / o'clock once again with the popu-
lar Singing stride" the boys were on
the road again. When Camp Craig hove
into sight most of the men were again
ready for the worst that the cooks could
give them which all agreed was pretty
good
Camp Craig is now one of the mos:
pleasant memories of the trip for the
people of Aiken invited to a dance all
those who wished to come. OF a surety
all the society men took advantage Of
the invitation and left in ammunition
wagons for the dance at the town seven
miles off. All of the fellows who went on
that trip thought it the best time that
they had ever had.
Those who remained at the camp made
good use of the baseball equipment and
the other supplies which the ''Y" brought
along with him. Besides games the camp
fires weer popular places for story-tell
At 3 o'clock Tuesday morning the
army" was again on the move with
Aiken the objective. Ask the boys what
they think of the people of Aiken and of
me iunch which they prepared for them.
There was ice cream, sandwiches. cake
hot coffee and apples " = real Southern
bellies to serve the good things
Leaving Aiken and friends behind the
camp for the night was made at Vau-
cluse. Here the following morning the
men visited the cotton mills. Others en-
joyed a good swim in the lake.
1t was upon Wednesday evening that
the real work of the hike took place. At
o'clock the army left to meet the
enemy" At $3.50 the hostile" armies
met. Soon there was a lively play of
trench mortars and rifle fire which lit up
mo Mans Land" The sight of the
bursting shells gave a most realistic touch
TO the battle" which lasted unity 1890.
After the march to Belvedere Thursday,
on Friday the 'singing" column started
back for Augusta, where they were met
by several bands. The condition of the
men was excellent, as they took the hills
on the home stretch" According to the
commanding officers the hike was very
successful.

TRANSPORTING PLAYING
IMPORTANT PART IN WAR
Teaching One to Shoot is a
Long Job, But the Man Who
Can Handle a Trapgun Takes
to a Rifle Quickly.

At the close of the Boer war Lord
Roberts was greatly impressed with the
fact that a handful of unframed and I'M
disciplined Beers, on account of their
wonderful craftsmanship, had been able
to withstand a greatly superior number
of British troops
The British were drilled to do every
thing but shoot straight; they knew all
about marching and the manual of arms.
Lord Roberts said
Shooting is SeVen-tenthS of a soldiers
business" and ordered that the soldiers
be taught to shoot straight rather than
devote a lot of time to other and more
snowy accomplishments
Lord Kitchener, when organizing the
first levy of volunteers that England sent
to the front issued this order:
Never mind how they drill wheth
er they know their right foot from their
left; teach them to shoot and do it
quickly"
Now, teching a man to shoot is a long
job and no man can learn to shoot in
day, or a week, or month, either with
a shotgun or rifle. The man who is ia
miliar with a shotgun soon becomes
good shot with a rifle. He knows how to
Judge the shorter distance, knows how to
avoid the recoil, and has a general idea
of the mechanism of firearms.
Because rap-shooting teaches all of
these things and because it gets man
out in the open where he will meet
petition, it has been well styled the
'Pathriotic Sport" and when the history
of the present VIZ is recorded, the marks
manship OF America viii be given due
credit, and in that credit trapshooting
will have a large share.
