Bisbee has reached position in wealth,
business and population where her future
progress and attractiveness as a place in
which to live demands that she take close
interest in city election. Her greatest care
should be the selection of candidates before
election and scrutiny of platforms With
the right kind of men and the right kind of
platform once in view they will be kept
there until the end High class men dedi-
Gated to platform for better streets, side
walks, civic Improvements generally and
city ownership of utilities will mean great
deal to Bisbee in the coming election. The
desire of our citizens generally to eliminate
politics from the city campaign is a splendid
sign Naturally it means better govern
ment Only men who stand for the very
best interests of the city should be .consid-
cred at all for city office. By mans rec
ord in the past and his platform for the
future is he known to his fellow citizens.

Instructive and Entertaining.

Large numbers of our people went to
hear Prof. M. M. Wood, scientist and
inventor, as the last number of the
lyceum course, Friday evening and all
came away feeling that the evening had
been most proftably spent. His dem
onstration of the gyroscope and its APP
plication to the aeroplane, the mono
rail car and the submarine torpedo were
unique and fascinating. His revelation
of the ultraviolet ray and other scien-
tific wonders was most interesting and
instructive. Prof. Wood is the inventor
or the torpedo with ears" about which
so much has appeared and his demon
stration of its possibilities held the
closest attention of the audience.

JOHN w. TAYLOR.

The man who bore the name inserted
above is no more, and there is general
regret throughout southwestern Wis
consin. Mr. Taylor died at his home in
| the village of Linden last Thursday
night, April 25, at II o'clock, at the
age of 81 years and 10 days. He was
born in Lafayette county; moved to
Lancaster; studied law and graduated
in 1876. and located in Linden.
In the death of Mr.. Taylor, Linden
has lost one of the best citizens she
ever had. He was the free and friendly
counsellor of all men, women and chill
dren of the community for all that was
good, upright, just, and was the viii
lagos spokesman of we'll seasoned oak.
He ably and judiciously represented the
village on the county board for quar-
ter of a century or more, during which
period he filled all the important posi-
tions of that body, and so conscien-
| tiously did he act that there is no gain
saying but what every section of the
county profitted through his sound and
unselfish service. He also had ofiicated
for the county as district attorney, his
big, tender heart being of no disad-
vantage to criminals.
Would that the human family included
more men who possessed the many ex-
cellent qualities embodied in MIR. Tay-
lor's makeup. He was well fortified
with all the traits that constitute a
patriotic citizen and true Christian. If
he disliked anything more than another,
it was the clatter and noise of hypocrites.
If he failed in anything, it was his re-
fusal to so exercise his excellent talents
that they might shine.
The Tribune publisher has known
John w, Taylor personally for upwards
of forty years and can say that we
never met him when good nature, in
tegrity and wisdom did not flow from
his eountenance. He was not an orator
of fowery adjectives, but reasoning
and convincing talker. Give him the
pen and he would write on any historical
or vital question in such an able and
interesting style as but few of his life
time could excel. He was not alone
our friend he was everybody's friend.
Our feeling of sorrow o'er his departure,
and forever, bears down hard.
Ttpre were signs for year or more
of l.j failing in health. but his serious
Illness was of very short duration and
death came as a surprise. 1t was heart
trouble, we are informed. Funeral
Sunday afternoon, when the weather
was so inclement that the outside at
tendance was much less than it other
wise would have been.

Red Cross Means Everything.

DO you realize what the Red Cross
means The soldier boy overseas
knows what it means. 1t means every
thing to him. 1t is up to you. the
stay-at-home citizen, to realize what it
means.
1t is when the boys are striker down
that they need help the most He can
go without food for many hours, he can
hike until he is footsore and weary, and
he can fight as long as God gives him
breath and strength but when he has
fallen in battle, when he has succumbed
to wounds, or perhaps, disease can
not survive without care-and it must
be the very best of care. This the
Red Cross gives.
Perhaps your boy, or your neighbor Z
boy whom you know and like. is one Of
these. Perhaps some day you vii
bless the Red Cross and thank Goo
that you did your part when you had q
chance.

"SLACkERS."

"Slackers" is a newly coined word
descriptive of those sneaks, shirks and
towards, who seek to avoid the military
service which they owe to their eoun-
try, when it is at war.
The term is even more applicable to
those who, not liable to military ser
vice.. and yet abundantly able neglect
or refuse to contribute Their just share
for the support and maintenance of our
army of boys, risking their health and
their lives in the trenches and on the
the firing line.
| The latter class OF ''slackers" should
be made to feel the whitening contempt
of their patriotic neighbors, who have
not only contributed their own shares,
but enough more to make up the de-
ficiences of the "slackers.
They should be made social outcasts.
unfit for respectful recognition by loyal
American citizens.
If engaged in business. their business
should be boycotted, and the patronage
of the public given to those who have
periodically responded to the call of
the Nation.
The Councils of Defense should as
certain and publish to the world the
names of the ''slackers" within their
several territories, so that all may
know the unpatriotic sneaks and shirks,
who, enjoying the blessings of our
Nation, are unwilling to discharge the
obligations of it's citizenship
