LuNKERS NOT IUBILANT

The junkers Of Germany are not
jubiIant. The junker war machine is
becoming junk, and the relic of feudal-
ism is rapidly on the decline. Junker
ism is a ghost of the past, pirate on
the sea of progress. The junkers have
lived for self-aggrandizement, narrow
minded, arrogant and bellicose. They
have nodded German life, nodded it
on the supposition Of their superior
ity. nodded it into a false belief as
regards the humanities of the world.
They have stood in naughty aloof
from the remainder of the population,
but their humility, their destruction,
is at hand. Power is poison. Their
power has brought them to the place
of downfall and their doom is on the
horizon.

A UNANIMOUS VERDICT

The consensus of mayors of English
cities as to the proper attitude of the
allies toward the Germans runs in
grooves parallel with those of Ameri-
can newspaper editorial utterance.
These mayors insist there must be no
compromise, no bargaining with Ger
many; that there must be punishment
of those who brought the war upon
the world, reparation for the damage
done, adequate guarantees for the fu-
ture. One mayor says "the allies will
be just, but they dare not be gener-
GUS" By that he means the Germans
should not escape the retribution that
is due them as a disciplinary penalty
and as a deterrent against repetition
of their Minneapolis Tribune.

SON OF MIDGET IN ARMY

No doubt the present generations
is that this midget Barnum celebrity
lived to give -stalwart son to the
American army in France. That both
his parents and his two children were
of normal size is one of the inscruta-
BILE things about natures decree that
he himself should be a pygmy. But to
hundreds of thousands of people of
an older growth the news of his death
will revive agreeable memories, both
OF this circus freak of former time
and OF the larger place such diminu-
tive human beings then occupied in
popular curiosity. AS midget marvels
go, Admiral Dot was of lesser emf
hence than General Tom Thumb, but
after the latter's death in 1883 he re-
manned first among his kind until his
retirement to become a hotelkeeper a
quarter Of a century ago. Admiral
Dot was American born and purely
a native celebrity. He lived to be So,
while General Tom Thumb died at 46,
and the Polish dwarf Borulwaski
missed becoming centenarian by
two years. Apparently the midgets'
expectation Of life is as much a puzzle
as their other attributes.-New York

BARAB0O FILLED
WITH PEACE JOY
Along With Many Other Cides a
Celebration Is Held, Realizing
the War Is Over

The peace demonstration begun in
Baraboo at noon on Thursday contin-
ued far into the night, despite the
fact the official notice that peace had
been signed had not been received.
The Baraboo marine band marched
about the square and through the
streets, playing lively airs and fol.
lowed by shouting, hilarious crowd.
Flags waved, guns were fired, horns
blew, bells rang and other noises filed
the air. From the roots Of the Bank
of Baraboo and Corner Drug store col
ored lights flooded the entire city. A
great mass Of black clouds hung low,
and the big searchlight on the AL.
Ringing theatre played back and
forth on the Jupiter Pluvius curtain.
The CLEAN from the theatre made
ring of light on the black curtain At
the southeast corner of the park lot
of clay was placed over the brick, and
here a great bonfire was built Flames,
shot into the air until the whole BUSH
ness section was almost as light as
day. The kaiser's coffin was con
sifined to the flames and, like his once
boasted empire, is now reduced. The
band mounted the portable stand and
continued the music while the crowd
rejoiced. The streets were damned
with people and on each face was seen
a joyful smile.
In Milwaukee Chicago, Madison and
other places the program was the
same. Great crowds gave vent to
their pent-up feelings, the afternoon
and evening being one Of superlative
joy.

WHAT WILL THEIR VERDICT
BE,9

Germany is now a jangle of con-
fused voices, but out of the confusion
a deduction can be made. The Ger
man people have placed their trust in
mi1itarism. They have been made to
believe that through miIitarism they
could impose upon the world a new, a
German civilization. 1t has been said
that the only way to break the spell
Of that belief over their minds is to
defeat and break their military power
That has been done Ludendorff
hazarded all for a great victory and
lost He is down and out But Hin
denburg and the kaiser, in the hope
of preserving the military tradition,
still cling to the vestiges of their
power.
Meanwhile the voices of opposition
are swelling louder and louder and
the rumblings of revolution are dis
tinctly audible. The German mind is
slowly freeing itself from tragic OBJ
session. The military masters are at
the bar of popular judgment. How
can they explain what has happened?
How can they meet the charge that
their system is a colossal failure?
What defense can they make for the
way in which they have gambled away
the lives, the fortunes, and the honor
OF the German people? The terms of
the armistice and the peace will fur
nish overwhelming evidence to the
German people of the failure and the
guilt of their military autocrats. Will
they then return the logical verdict ?

EPIDEMIC MAY
LAST z YEARS

Dr. w. d. Sansum of Chicago who
came to see his niece, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Leith Fellows, says
when the influenza epidemic came in
1889, it lasted three years. The opin-
ion prevails the present scourge may
continue for as long a period unless
it is more rapidly stamped out than
in '89 to go. The germs of influenza
are shaped like toothpicks, while
those of pneumonia are round like
beads. The patient is first attacked
by influenza germs and after becom~
ing weak has pneumonia. DR.. Sansum
is connected with the Presbyterian
hospital and says that Of eighty nurses
who were stricken, but one died. The
reason so many soldiers in the camps
have the disease and die is that the
germs become more deadly the more
rapidly they pass from one person to
another After a person has partly
recovered they are less harmful. Ex-
periments have been made with ami
mails and this has been found to be
true The best thing for people to do
is to keep apart and the germs have
less chance to attack. In time the
wave will have passed and normal
conditions will be restored.

crazy vanity Of ruling class endeay-
oring to govern its subject natiOnah-
ties with a scourge in one hand and
bayonet in the other Austria has had
centuries to make friends of her sub
iect races, and she has not concillated
one Of them. When her own 1mqulty
had reached the point which made Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina almost ungovern-
able. she sought excuse for campaign
of terrorism in the murder at Sera-
ieyo. And although that murder was
committed by her own subjects, she
went with fire and sword into Serbia,
because the Serbs, like so many of her
own subjects, were Slavs, and because
she wished to extend her path to the
orient. to the port of Saloniki, and the
unfortunate Serbian nation lay be-
tween her and her goal. Wnetner
they were present at the Potsdam
council or not, three men were peculi-
arly responsible for Austria's fatal de-
cision. They were Count Berchthold,
the Austrian foreign minister, Count
Tisza, the Hungarian premier, and Gen.
Hoetzendorf, chief Of the general
staff. These three men were as con-
vinced as the German high command
that the time had come to add new
provinces to the empire. And So the
restraining voice of Francis Ferdi-
nand having been silenced by the Ser
aievo bullet, Austria-Hungary walked
quite deliberately into the maelstrom
hand in hand with the German en-
pire.-Christian Science Monitor.

MONUMENT, TO HOARD

| MONUMENT TO HOARD
mo more just thing could happen
than monument to Governor w. d.
Hoard on the university grounds-or
in the very capital park itself; and it
need not be erected to Hoard as a
pioneer in making Wisconsin the most
famous among all states for its dairy
ing. but for his prophetic vision as
statesman and patriot. Hoard admit
tedly deserves high honors for his ex-
ceptfonal achievements in agriculture,
but incomparably his higher work is
symbolized in the Bennett Law which
entailed his political martyrdom.
"And in behalf of the righteousness
of that law Hoard never has wavered.
Through all these thirty years since
the Wisconsin democracy stultified it
self by making an issue against this
Just law, cringing before pro-Ger-
manism of which we now are seeing
the bloody consequences, Governor
Hoard's newspaper at Fort Atkinson
has steadfastly adhered to the theory
that the Bennett law was right in
principle; and now not single, soli-
tary LOYAL resident Of Wisconsin dares
say to the contrary.
Had the churches and schools of
Wisconsin been Anglicized-as must
have occurred by reason Of the Eng
lish teachings which the bennett law
required-Wisconsin would have been
all-American when the world war
opened, or nearly so; treason would
have been negligible; the George Syl-
vester Vierecks and the Won Bern
storffs would not have obtained the
encouragement that gave them hope
of a pro-German uprising in this
country; Wisconsin congressman
would not have rejoiced the kaiser by
being unitedly against war; Senators
La Toilette and Stone and others of
their class would not have been quot
ed approyingly in The Fatherland Or
other pro-German organs; the subsi-
died -Prussians of the nation
could have pinned no hope upon Wis
consin, and, this state duly Ameri-
canized, the Bennett law spirit must
have pervaded the whole land-and
then would Germany have fouted this
nations patriotism, it's power, it's hon
or and it's courage?
"Who knows?
"a thoroughly Benefited Wiscon-
sin might indeed have stimulated such
a nationwide American spirit--and
here it has been weakest in all the re-
public-that Germany would not have
dared to enter upon its crusade to en-
slave the world in the face of our
mighty power and of preparedness
that belonged to that spirit
Eyes! Let there be monument to
w. D. Hoard, but let it be erected to
the honor of the most distinctively
American character since Abraham
Lincoln! ''-Madison (Wis.) Democrat.
