In the years preceding this war, the
Democratic party under the leadership
of Woodrow Wilson, was entrusted
with the management of the affairs at
Washington. A great clash Of ideas
prevailed. We had in this country an
autocracy well established and prepared
and able 10 defend their own interests
and their own ideas against that of the
citizenship of our republic. You will
remember that when the President and
his advisers attempted to organize or
decide to establish financial system
worthy of this country came panics
caused by stringency of currency and
the changed condition so prevalent in
country with so diversified people as
we have. When he insisted that we
should have here a mobilization Of our
resources, not in the hands of one bank
OF one city or one group of men, but
we should have system which would
be within the reach of all people, their
will remember that the great metropol-
itan journals attacked him. They con
tended for the establishment of one
great bank in New York or at the most,
three banks in this country, and Wilson
our great leader, steadfastly said No"
We must have more banks, close to the
n1D JS
that within all sections of our country;
and so we have today, my countrymen,
the evidence of this great mans vision
and better than that, his persistency
and steadfastness in the face of this
autocracy in our own country, in the
establishment of the great Federal Re-
serve System.-HENRY A. MoEHLENPAH,
Democratic Candidate for Governor.

OUR INDIVIDUAL PART

Some observers think that the most
characteristic thing about the Ameri
can soldiers in France. something
which astounds the enemy and excites
the admiration of our allies, is the
capacity of the American soldiers to do
individual thinking and fighting. The
German fights successfully only in
mass formation, in organized bodies,
while every American soldier has an
initiative and independence of action
which gives him remarkable efficiency
in open fighting. They are not sense
less cogs, but each is an individual
working unit in a great fighting ma
chine.
Every American at home should feel
an individual responsibility and do
his or her individual part in winning
the war. There is not an American
citizen who can not help win the war.
The Fourth Liberty Loan drive, which
begins September %, offers great
opportunity for concerted action and
for individual action, and the loan will
be tremendous success if each Ameri
can will do his or her individual part
as each American soldier in France
does his part. Our soldiers deserve
such support from the people at home.

ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

The Democrats of Wisconsin are 60
ing bravely into the campaign of 1918
on the right side of great moral issues.
1t may not seem good politics to the or
dinary practical politician; but it is
good politics, nevertheless, in larger
sense. They are squarely meeting
every issue without equivocation or
evasion. Under the responsible leader
ship Of Candidate Moelenpah, Commit
teeman Martin and Chairman LaBudde
the contest will be fought out on that
line. A new note has been sounded in
Badger politics.

Gross on September 10, was won by the
Zinc Works score 8, City Clerks 5.
There was large crowd present con-
sidering the inclement weather. The
receipts of the game amounted to

very favorable conditions. The high
school enrolment is 1873, which is one
of the largest opening enrollments in
it's history Some changes have been
made to meet war conditions. Because
of the scarcity of manual training
teachers the work in this department
will be suspended for one year and more
emphasis will be given to science and
mathematics which will help prepare
boys for their college military training.
The government is emphasizing the
necessity of keeping all educational in
stitutions up to the highest efficiency
this year. 1t urges generous support of
the schools 'to the end that no boy or
girl may have less opportunity for edu-
cation because of the war;, It also
urges that schools adopt their courses
to meet the present demands and the
future requirements. Some changes in
text books and organization have been
made so that more efficient work may
be done.
A new grouping plan has been intro
duced in the grades. This will provide
for a more flexible promotion system
than the usual one where child is re-
tained or promoted at the end of the
year. Children who are regular in at
tendance and do excellent work will be
given an opportunity to make faster
progress.
Football practice has begun under
coach Huxtable.
