But the world is at last awakening.
Slowly the fact is dawning upon man

THE COUNTY FAIR

The stockholders of the Sank Coun-
ty Agricultural society are to be com
mended In voting upon themselves an
assessment to give the organization
new life. A county fair, like school,
library, church, or fraternal Organiza-
ton, is not supposed to declare divi-
dends, but is maintained for the pleas
ure and intelligent profit of the com
munity. The automobile has widened
the range of visitors from four to forty
miles and the motto should be to make
bigger and better fair every year. The
visitors bring coin which they spend,
and this coin goes to the farmer as
premiums, or to the business man
for goods. With bands playing and
flags flying it is a gala week, one for
a homecoming every year. No won
der there was not dissenting vote at
the annual meeting. No one wanted
to see an institution of sixty years
fade away, certainly not. Secretary
Pelten and the others laboring for
the institution should be given every
encouragement to make the fair the
envy of every fair in Wisconsin. Let
the spirit be as it was at the meeting
always enthusiastic for success.

JUSTICE BETTER LA1E THAN
NEVER

Soon after the war began a Bara-
boo citizen remarked that if Germany
were defeated that Schieswig and Hol-
stein would not desire to be returned
to Denmark The citizen heir the peo-
pie of the two duchies would prefer to
be under the Grman rule than that of
Denmark. The question is now before
the world whether or not they should
again be united to the former govern
ment.
In 1864 Bismark resorted to trickery
in order to bring about war, that
Germany might. gain control Of the
two duchies. There was some fric-
ton over the successor to the throne,
a matter which really did not concern
Germany, but which should have been
settled by the people in true Demo-
cratic way, and Bismark gave out the
utterly false impression that England
would intercede if Prussia attacked
them. The war became reality, the
Danes fought valiantly, and Of course
were defeated. Later the two duchies
were ceded to Austria and Prussia,
eventually passing under German con-
troll. On the face of it, the war was
a bold raid as that upon France soon
after and like the one which has come
to a disastrous end for the central
powers.
In the meantime the Kiel canal has
become a great German naval base.
Millions have been expended there by
the former kaiser's war lords. and
should this property remain with the
defeated? The duchies should go
back to the country Wnefe Cney DelOnS.
The government wants them and Pres
ident Wilson has expressed his ap-
prevail Of this step. 1t would deprive
the treacherous German government
of naval base which she should not
have, thus weakening that country.
In this case justice would come lit.
tie late, but better late than never.

TREES AS MEMORIALS

Public sentiment has expressed it.
self very strongly in favor of the plan
to plant trees in the city and county
parks in memory of Milwaukee boys
who have died in the country's serv-
ice. rThat this would be fitting and
beautigul tribute is a general con-
olusion The plan is to attach a
bronze tablet, bearing a dead hero's
name, the date of his birth and the
date and place of his death, to each
tree thus planted. This means a me-
mortal for each Of our dead soldiers
individually and it is something that
can be done and will not interfere in
the slightest measure with any move
ment for a general memorial.
By all means we should carry out
this plan next Memorial day. If q
Memorial day committee were appoint
ed at once. it could confer with the
city and county park commissioners
and make all arrangements for no.
table observance May 80. Springtime
is planting time.

which will grow into beauty and
majesty, to commemorate a soldiers
brave death-what could be more fit
ting, more ideal?-Milwauke Journal.

HOW PRICES HAVE ADVANCED

The News about David Myers, Prairie
du Sac celebrating his ninety seventh
birthday he recalled that the venerable
village blacksmith once pulled the
shoes from his horses, sharpened them
and nailed them on the animals hoofs
all for one dollar. The horses weighed
about $500 pounds. That happened
when Mr. Meyers was aged rs, and at
that time the sheer was SO active he
was able to dance a jig after the nail
ing of each shoe.
At the present time blacksmith
charges SITS or IS for placing new
shoes (not old ones) on horses. The
prices for resetting have gone III. &C

Mr.. Meyers has been a great deer
hunter, the last trip nearly costing
him his life While in the north he
was taken i'll with pneumonia and
was in critical condition. e

This world war, in large measure,
has given the quietus to two of the
most virulent enemies of mankind
kaiserism and John Barleycornis1n:
Kaiserism, which is the very worst
form of autocracy, made men drunk
of power, which is in many respects a
worse form of drunkenness than alc0-
holism.
If the result of the war will put
these two enemies Of the human race
entirely out of business, then this war,
as expensive as it has been, and will
yet be, in blood and treasure, will be
worth infinitely more to the world than
it will cost. BY kaiserism we mean
autoctatic rule by one man or one set
of men, who assume that they are di-
vinely commissioned to rule the world.
They believe, as we once heard George
w. Julian an abolition advocate, ex-
press it, that the masses are born with
saddles on their backs and that a few
favored individuals are born with
spurs on their heels. However, the
ultimate fruits of the war will very
largely depend upon the continued
patriotism and wisdom of the peo-
ple.-Emporia Gazette.

SITUATION WITHOUT PRICE,
DENT

A situation virtually without prece-
dent in Wisconsin politics has been
created by the conviction of Congress-
man-elect Victor L. Berger of the
Fifth Milwaukee district.
Milwaukee attorneys are of the opin-
ion that there will be no vacancy in
the Fifth congressional seat until con-
gress has formally said such condi.
ton exists.
When that occurs 1t will be up to
the governor to call special election
many attorneys hold.
Meanwhile, Congressman Stafford
holds office, until March 4. when the
oaths are taken by those newly elected;
If sentence meanwhile is imposed upon
Mr.. Berger, and he should not he able
to go to Washington, he would not be
able to take his oath. and then he
would not be member. In that case
it is likely that the seat would be de.
clared vacant. ~#

WALTER MEETS WALTER

One great reunion was that pulled off
in Hot Springs, Ark, few days age
when Walter Gollmar of BaraboO, Wis,
of circus fame, and Walter w. Gentry,
formerly Of the Gentry show, but who
is now one of the substantial and pro-
gressive citizens of Hot Springs, ran
together at the Office Of the United
States employment bureau In that city.
+ Were they looking for work? They
were not! Walter Gentry is at the

The two Walters put in busy even
ing recalling this and that old-timer In
the circus game, many of whom had
been visitors to the Springs, and going
over rich and rare experiences IN tns
great outdoor amusement game. Both
declared they would not take millions
for the experiences gained, at the same
time both declared, as Gentry expressed
it, that "all the dappled gray horses In
all the circuses could not pull them
back.
The Gollmar show was great ia
yorite through that section, which 1t
visited for several seasons. 1t com"
manded the highest respect of every
body, and enjoyed an enviable reputa-
ton for the clean, high-class way IN
which it's affairs~were conducted. B
is noted with regret that the Gollmars-
have parted with the show, but 1t 10
pleasure to know that the enter
prise has passed into the hands OF
James Patterson, another high-class
Snowman, and one who is faVoraoly

and have arranged to stay for severaI
weeks-possibly until April l.

WORDS BY THE LATE ADELIA
MUELLER

On sale in the music stores is new
song by the late Adelia Mueller, daugh-
ter of Rev. and Mrs. Henry Mueller.
The song was composed some time ago
and was published just a short time
before the death of Miss Mueller IN a
hospital at La Crosse. The words
with the title are given below.
"a Loving U. s. Sailor Boy"
I love a brown eyed sailor boy,
And so does mother, too,
But now he's gone away to war,
To fight for me and you;
He Joined the U. S. Navy, boys,
To fight upon the sea
I'll ne'er forget his tender words,
AS he said goodbye to me.
But when he left and went away,
He turned and smiled at me,
His brown eyes laughing seemed to
say,
MY love leave with thee;
IT'S sad to say goodbye today,
Although you can not see,
It breaks my heart to go away.
But l will come back to thee.
Sweet heart will you be true as blpe,
Till come back again,
I'm leaving dear, but don't you feaI,
Put all your trust in Him.
He'll watch DER me on land or sea,
And bring me back to you,
So cheer up dear, don't shed tear
To you / will be true.

others but they have not been publish

decency. The congressman said that
in some of the departments the Off
GERS are putting in their time trying
to find out how not to do things in
stead of showing activity in the proper
direction.
Congressman Madden said that he
had observed government automobiles
at 10 o'clock in the morning waiting
to take officers to their duties, and at
the same time soldiers in Europe were
sleeping in cutters. He wanted more
activity amongst the army officers in
this country. Instances were sighted
where doctors, through operations on
soldiers in this country, had made
cripples for life. They knew nothing
about operations and had taken a
chance-a habit many times in that
profession. Letters were read to show
the justice of the criticism. One OF
the solons came out, without mincing
his words, and said that Secretary Ba-
ker should take few fellows out and
ring their necks.
At Camp Grant and at Great Lakes
there are young men from Sank coun-
ty waiting to come home who have
been patiently waiting for weeks.
County Clerk F. A. Cooper of the ex-
emption board at Baraboo has written
letters asking that certain young men
who have families or mothers depend
ing upon them to release the soldiers
that they may come home. A letter
comes back asking for a sworn state
ment. The members of the board
have sworn to do their duty; what is
the use of the red tape? Mr.. Cooper,
as well he may be, IS disguised with
tho methods of procedure.
There is young man at Great Lakes
who is trying to get home. The time
was practically fixed for his return
and the report came the pay rofl had
been lost; he could not come. Just
because some careless government en-
ployee loses a pay roll the whole COM
pany must waste their time-doing
nothing. The people are paying the
bills and it looks as if there are a
number of fellows who are afraid to
let, go their jobs. When some Of the
soldiers reach home they may be able
to give frst-hand facts.
There will be much material for the
Republicans when they go into the
next campaign-the waste at Hog
Island, the soldiers VINO nave not Deen
we'll treated, the slowness in disband-
ing the forces, and other phases grow
ing out of war conditions.
Congressman Mann and others at
Washington should have encourage
ment in correcting evils where they
