The Socialists Of Milwaukee have
drafted and announced their platform
for the municipal election. Refer
ence to the infamous st. Louis So
cialist platform is omitted. But that
platform Of national menace and be-
trayal need not hang it's head in
shame when compared with the one
compiled by the Socialists Of this
city. Witness, for example, the fol-
lowing from the Milwaukee platform:
The American people did not
want, and do not want, this war.
They were plunged into this abyss
by the treachery of the ruling
class of the country--its dema-
goqic asitators, its bought press,
it's sensational photopIays, it's ly-
ing advertisements, and other pur-
chasabIe instruments of public ex-
preston.
If this thing is true, that the Amer
lean people were plunged into this
war by the ruling class Of the coun-
try, plunged into war that they did
not and do not want, then crime is
being committed against every boy
that is being sent to France. What
is more, if this platform is right. then
the st. Louis one, mention Of which
this one carefully omits, is also right.
The two have the same illogical and
basic hatred of the war, the same at
tack upon our nation.
If the Milwaukee platform is not
true, then it becomes not only demon
alizipg, but menace to the army. 1t
is stabbing our American boys in the
back 1t is Infamous beyond power
of words to express. 1t and it's au-
thors should be suppressed for the
duration of the war.
That people who enjoy the protec-
ton Of the American flag should be
guilty of uttering such stuff means a
menace that the people of America
must meet.

MISTAKE, OF THE PACIFIST

Victor Berger and other socialists
are pacifsts. If a peace \pact were
made with Germany, what then? The
European allies are using up all Of
their money and America is becoming
the wealthiest nation in the world
This country is deep in the war, and
the kaiser if he could, would naturally
turn to this country and seize a lot of
gold to pay for the war, just as Ger
many did at Paris in 1871. The kai-
ser and his war lords are not to be
trusted, President Wilson has stated,
and to even attempt peace would mean
disaster Ambassador Gerard has
shown the kaiser has plotted on Amer
lea and the thing for this country to do
is to stand by the allies to the end.
The allies must either be beaten or
must put the war lords out Of bust
ness. 1t is a mistake for the pacifists
to cry peace at this time; it would
mean disaster in the end.

Side LIGHTS ON the
CIRCUS BUSINESS

There will be at least one circus on
the road this year that will be indie
pendent of the railroads, and if can
keep on good roads it certainly should
be a success. In case of long
Jumps" it will be possible for them
pull out for thhe next town immedi-
ately after the evening performance
is over. The show will be well
equipped, and will open the season at
Toledo, O., where it will be organized
with the largest and best motor
trucks that money will buy
Back III the seventies the home
folks used to saunter down to the
main turnpike of the village to see
the circus wagons drawn by double
and trebline spans Of horses pull into
town, the glitter of the big wagons
dulled with dust and mud and the
horses tuckered out by their long
drag. Later the children of those
circus "gazers" Of the seventies arose
bright and early on "showday" and
went to the railroad siding out near
the grounds, where they watched the
men unload the wild animal cages in
record time.
Now it's to be back to the seventies
again-but not quite. This season
because of the war strain on the rail
roads of the nation, some circuses are
planning to load their canvasses,
poles, lions, zebras, "hot dog" wagons,
oriental dancers and what-not on
huge motor trucks. The extent of
the Jumps will be lessened some
what and thus prove an advantage
to the smaller cities which the cir
cuses always passed by.

MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY

When Senator La Toilette sued the
Madison Democrat and Journal he
stated that he was a resident of Dane
county. When the wheels Of the law
began to grind he was summoned
from Washington to Madison to testify
in the case. Then his lawyers stated
that he was not a resident of Dane
county. Senators and representatives
do not make the District Of Columbia
their official residence, and since the
senator has a farm near Madison, it
looks as if he should anchor there. Ii
the senator continues to float in the
pacifist ship and to dodge his place OF
residence, he will surely become a
imam without a country"

tc have hit the roof close to the par
tition wall dividing the Ford house
from the adjoining building. 1t shat
tered the roof and upper floors, which
gradually collapsed, with part of the
wall.
The maid saved the life of Mrs.
Brown by carrying her into the base
ment, placing her against the wall, and
resting heavy timbera against the
masonry. In this way both were
spared. The maid regrets she could
not rescue the others and mourns the
loss of her wedding trosseau, which
she had been preparing for nearly a
year
The son. who had been crippled by
an accident in childhood, was engaged
to be married in September to Miss
Effie Clark, the daughter of a neigh
Dor and lifelong friend of the Fords.
During the last three years Mrs.
Ford has taken a large part in sew
eral war charities Her home was the
scene of weekly teas, receptions, and
musicales for wounded soldiers and
officers from a nearby hospital. In the
summer rarely an afternoon passed
without a party of wounded soldiers
finding entertainment on the ample
lawns behind the house.
The death of Mrs. Ford will bring
closer to millions of soldiers and to
millions of others besides, the soul
that inspired Keep the Home Fires
Burning" sung so universally now.

GERMAN INTRIGUE IN JAPAN

Japan is not misled. We understand
that the reluctance of the United
States to join with the entente allies
in suggesting japanese intervention in
Siberia is not prompted by distrust,
but only by fear of the effect of such
action on the people Of Russia. No
doubt it also understands that the
United States can best serve the world
by refusing to become involved at this
time in treaty engagements. There
is no reason why this government
should, except in case Of the gravest
necessity, act in the present case. If
Great Britain desires Japanese inter
vention, all it has to do is to say so,
since the two nations are bound by a
formal treaty of alliance. If the Amer
lean government feels that such in
tervention would antagonize the peo-
pie of Russia and perhaps throw them
into the arms of Germany, it will say
so, and its opinion will undoubtedly
have great influence.
It is perhaps not surprising that
some people should have reverted to
their old prejudice against Japan.
Most Of this is due to sensational
newspapers and pro-German propagan-
da. It should be remembered that ia
pan is our associate in this war quite
as truly as is any one of the entente
powers. Throughout the struggle ia
pan has been entirely loyal to it's OBJ
legations and allies. The only Ger
man possession in China was captured
by Japan early in the war. japanese
fleets have kept the Pacific ocean clear
Of Germans, and are now patrolling
the Mediterranean. Everything that
has been asked has been done. There
has been no suggestion of selfshness
in any action that has been taken.
Never were the relations between
this country and Janan mora frinodI11
and cordial than they are now. There
can be no talk about the yellow peril
at this time that will not be mere
camouf1age for the German menace.
We know that Germany has tried to
set Japan against the United States,
and that it has been for years and is
now striving to create antagonism be-
tween the two nations. 1t sought to

versatile career and tried to fit him
self into several inches before he
found the one which yielded him finan-
cial success. He was in turn a school
teacher, lawyer, social worker, editor,
song writer and last a patent medicine
manufacturer. He was not a doctor,
and it is doubtful if he could annex
& million dollars now by selling prep
arations because times have changed.
People do not believe as they once
aid and do not take as rapidly to new
nOstrumS. But, strange it is, that a
man must shift about for years be-
fore he finds the hole into which he

find what they are the best able to do,
especially in the fields of the trades,
manufacturing and the professions

ODESSA

Germany gets Odessa, but not a
pound of food thereby-not now, says
the Madison Democrat.
Odessa, normally the wheat depot
for all Russia roundabout, is drained
utterly dry of grain. Not a bushel is
by the Russians themselves during
these four years of war when the ag-
riculture of the empire, like that of
all Europe, has been greatly para
lyzed. Wheat in considerable amount
will be at Odessa when it can be
grOWn-not before.
And, for a long time to some, where
is the seed to be had? Germany has
no surplus. That is sure. Neither
has Austria; and Russia is destitute.
Crops Of all those countries must be
scant, owing to deficiency both of
seed and labor however desperate
the endeavor to secure large crops.
Hence, the taking of Odessa is of
little significance in connection with
the pressing food problem of the cen
trail powers, neither at the present
time nor for year or more to come.

The United States Motorized Circus
with headquarters in Toledo, has con-
tracted for IT'S large motor vehicles
especially constructed to carry equip
ment peculiar to the show business.
The IT'S trucks it is estimated will
carry the same amount of tonnage
formerly loaded on 100 freight cars.
Performers and employees will sleep in
"trailers" built like Pullmans. Din
ing trucks and similar equipage will
be carried. The distances covered
between towns will average about
twenty-five miles a day.
The motor circus" it is pointed
out, will have some advantage over
the rail drawn show. For instance,
the ticket wagon can be driven right
onto the grounds and in five minutes
be ready for business. Time can be-
saved in getting the property on the
ground, for trucks can be driven to
the proper locations, eliminating the
troublesome unloading from freight
cars and the frequent hauling Of
property for a mile or more. Con-
cession men will be all "set' with
their toy balloons, squakers, red lem
onade and popcorn stands in record
time . So that when the early pat
rons swing onto the grounds this year
the vendors will greet them with;
"Buy peanuts and hear the hulls
crack" or Ready, ready ready, and
they're all red-hOt with an onion in
the middle and pickle on top.
The American boy and girl will
surely welcome the news that the cir
Gus is to come to town this season
despite the war. 1t would be sad
world to them without circus day.

How many horses have you?" the
embodied in the federal income tax
collector, cannot be transferred to the

ria asked Lyon county farmer Satur-
day.
ga few, perhaps more" replied the
farmer, who had been expressing his
hauteur all his life for the local tax
ing authorities.
"How many chickens have you?"
"Three or four, perhaps more"
Then the tax collector allowed his
farmer friend to step aside, informing
him that an inspector would call to
check him up, and a call from the in
spector not only means a rigid &C
counting, but a substantial penalty
as well. The farmer condescended to
tell the truth, but the income tax man
was busy, and the farmers banker
wasn't willing to make a fool of him
self by futile appeal on behalf Of
his customer.
Gradually the people of this entire
nation are coming to learn that the
United States has a federal govern
ment; that the aforementioned federal
government isn't a local government
and has the same architectural de-
signs as a buZz-saw.
But as we were remarking, it is to
be regretted that some of the result

SOCIALISM ON THE ROCKS

When John SpargO, Charles Edward
Russell, Upton Sinclair and other
clear seeing Americans and sincere
Democrats forsook the Socialist party
because they recognized in it an aux
iliary to German junkerdom, the re-
naming Socialists dismissed them con-
temptuously as mere Americans"
The Socialist body, made up Of men
foreign inmature to the American ira
dition of democracy, felt more com
Portable in their imported hallucina-
tons when relieved of the presence Of
practical Americans.
When The Daily News led the on
slaught of the press upon the Social
list idea as it was expressed in the no
torious st. Louis platform, the Social
ist leaders remained undisturbed.
They expected such treatment, they
explained, at the hands of the capital
istic press"
Now, however, when Morris HillQuit,
the Socialist beau ideal, sees the hand
writing on the wall and notes the ut
ter, the epochal failure Of the vision
airy Socialist scheme as it was tried
out in Russia, with all the equipment
it demanded, the Ger1nanophiles in
the Socialist ranks begin to tremble.
Hillquit having come out ION the side
of the angels" the American branch
of the international Socialist party
may even disintegrate, though the kai-
ser helpers are still working heroical-
ly to hold this branch together despite
the HilIquit defection.-Chicago Daily

BERNHERD LUETKENS.
Reedsburg, Wis. r. r. 2.

Enclosed with the above letter was
page from the Baraboo Weekly
News which contained several articles
derogatory to the kaiser and his clan.
Can it be the author Of the letter
thinks this paper is too loyal to the
United States, the best government
beneath the sun.
Does Mr.. Luetkens believe in Amer
lean creed?
Does he think the German govern
ment ever thought of attacking Amer
lea?
What is his attitude toward the in
vasion of Belgium by Germany?
Belgian deportations?
Does the writer believe in the teach
ings of Bernhard?
What is his attitude toward the acts
Of Bernstorff, Dumba, Won Igel, Zim-
norman and Boy-Ed?
Here are a few words from one of
the kaiser's speeches, and it would be
interesting to know Mr.. Luetkens'
opinion of them:

try That is |. Who opposes me
shall crush to pieces. All of you
have only one will, and that is my
will; there is only one law, and
that is my law.

What does he think Of the Belgian
Prince affair?
Which would he have, autocracy or
democracy?
Is he for Germany or for the United
States?

interesting.
