BINKLEY LOSS HEAVY
Fire Destroyed Residence of
Chairman Town of Three
Lakes March 1Oth-Com-
plete Loss.

The residence of F. c. Binkley,
situated three miles from the
village of Three Lakes on Medi-
cine lake, one of the Eagle chain
of lakes, was completely destroy
ed by fire Sunday noon, March
10th, while the members of the
household were at home.
The fire is supposed to have
caught from a defective fue near
the roof, and was so far advanc-
ed when discovered by Mr.
Binkley that nothing could be
say ed.
The loss will amount to many
thousands of dollars as the in
terror fittings were very valuable
especially the Binkley library, a
very large one.
Mr.. Binkley is chairman of the
town of Three Lakes, and his
acquaintance in the eastern hall
of Villas county is iargeA 1t is
not known whether he will re-
build.

THEY ADVERTISED HIM
Was it Because Newspapers
Needed Money or Were
They With Him-Did Not
Deny Supporting Thomp-

son.
1t those newspapers who ran
i'm Thompson's advertisement
for Senator in the race for the
nomination, and they were quite
numerous, had stated in a col
umn adjoining the advertisement
that they were not supporting
him, the general public might
think other than that they gave
him support. But owing to
that omission one is lead to be-
lieve just what evervlevel headed
patriotic American man would
believe-that those newspapers,
who shout patriotism with a
capital "P", ale still not above
running any kind ofan advertise
ment just SO long as the money
comes rollin' in.
Last weeks output of news,
papers in the state of Wisconsin
certainly showed that their 100
percent loyalty could bepurchas-
ed by shooting them a display
advertisement not to the liking
of the public that is absolute
loyal. Now of course we all
know that these newspapers will
advance the point that "their
columns are open to all politica
advertising and that it does not
in any matter change their own
views politically or patriotically
if we run advertising with The
caption at the head showing
that is being paid for by some
one else.
True, but why not refuse to run
an advertisement. which you
know is not to your liking and
which will lead the people to be-
lieve, notwithstanding, all the
captions at the head OF it telling
it is a paid affair.
One of these newspapers pub
fishing Thompson's advertise
ment carries this at the head Of
its editorial page under the Ameri-
can fag-a quotation from Abra-
ham Lincoln, as follows:
Il am not bound to win, but
am bound to be true; | am not
bound to succeed, but am bound
to live up to what light | have.
will stand with rybody who
stands right, keep with him while
he is right, and part with him
when he is wrong
Now the question is, if they
did not support Thompson, then
why in the devil did they not
part with him when they knew
he was wrong?'
This newspaper refused Ihomp,
sons advertisement, even though
I'VE needed the money"
