A NEEDED REFORM.

The water service head reports this city
On Saturday consumes more water than
On other days. and that. we'll say is pretty
Convincing proof OF weekly bathing plan
4 million gallons more OF wet needed
For Saturday ablutons and the rest
Than through the week when baths left unheeded
As needless luxury or painful pest
Those cold statistics make us pause to wonder
Ii culture really loais upon the scene
And also make curious thunder
About what does the march OF progress mean.
Our homes are fine and modern in their plumbing
With bath facilities which rival Rome
But there is that array OF figures numbng
To prove the bathing schedule OF the home
Skyscrapers rise TO prove our urban station
And metropolitan our streets aght,
Du, still the water service tabulaon
Shows Saturday our chosen bathing night
And So in chas,ened mood and rather humble
We hold reform like charity, should start
At home and urge the popuiace to tumble
To need OF daily baths, and do their part.

TINKERING NOT IN DE-
DEMAND

The trade of the constitution tink.
er has been generally discouraged
by the elections held in western
states this fall.
II would be a good plan for mem.
bers of the legislature to study the
election and see HON many amend
ments failed.
In three states proposed constitu-
tional conventions were voted down
and in most states every amendment
was defeated.
In few states was anything adopt
ed that was not in the direction OF
reducing taxation and protecting in
dustries. Would-be lawmakers can
save themselves trouble and the state
expense by not introducing too much
constitution tinkering for awhile.

HAS CONGRESS ABDI-
GATED

During Rooseyelt's administration
the move was started to change the
plan under which western public
lands had heretofore been admins
tered.
This move was camouflaged under
term conservation vote bait.
The first conservation step was
withdrawal from entry all lands sus-
pected of containing oil and coal.
Ever since then Congress has been
considering enactment Of a leasing
bill which would permit development
OF these lands but no action has been
taken.
Responding to plea for increased
oil operators sunk wells at hundreds
of thousands of dollars expense.
II oil was struck our oily" poll
ticians would Immediately withdraw
all surrounding land from entry as
a conservation" measure for future
generations and leave the man who
had tried to increase production
high and dry with no chance Of Sc
touring sufficient additional oil land
to repay him for expense o. discov.
ering an oil bearing area.
| Water power sites and power de
Ivelopment have been withdrawn ant
treated in same manner, all unde,
the name of conservation, and tn,
men seeking political favor undel
this misleading term have deliber
ately sacrificed millions Of tons o
coal AMI barrels of oil preventin,
water power development.
Recently the west surrendered un
der protest to enactment Of a leasing
bill, such as never applied to east
ern states.
Since that time department head
in Washington have held up it's pas
age while wrangling among them
selves and cowed Congress hal
meekly awaited instructions.
1t has been puzzle why tn,
Navy department and Department o
Justice should be permitted to die
tate on matters entirely outside thei
jurisdiction, but these department
have 80 far been successful in block
ing every move to remedy the situs
ton.
Criticism of Congress has BEEF
withheld during the war but the wa
is over and the time is here to cal
spade a spade. Under the U.
Constitution Congress is the nation
legislative body. Heads OF variou
departments are servants of the pee
pie, not dictators and yet Congress
seems to have abdicated in favor c
lnterlopers in legislative affairs.
II present conditions continues. o
, prospecting in the west must cease.

ODE TO THE YEAR 1918


: ....-
Adieu old year you have rendered your accounts,
Much happiness wrote in blood and tears
Your annals tell of trouble that mounts
To death and desolation hopes and fears.
You have seen the waste of war and gallant sons
OF many chimes and nations bite the dust.
To quell the lust of power in breast of Huns,
Who thought to dominate by means unjust.
The chronic jealousy of Prussia
Has wrought the ruin of an empire great
And luckless Austria has lost its sway,
While Hungary appears freshlng state.
.SS-
You've seen the valor of old Rome revived,
When Italy's sons made combat with success,
Though thousands of her scions sacrificed
Their lives and fortunes to obtain redress.
The entente powers you have noted,
And Americas contingent given praise,
Their force of arms the worthy cause promoted,
That brought defeat to Kaiserdom that stays
You have seen the horrors of war ablaze,
The blood and carnage of the trench and field,
And loot and pilage of the Huns vile ways
With atrocities revolving none can shield.
You have seen theexit of the Kaiser,
And Germany so humbed in the dust; IS -
Experience tends to make one wiser,
DD' . AppnsD y "A4 M ~
You've seen no doubt that famine follows war,
That famishel hosts of Europe doth attest,
Distress of nations too from near and far
All indicate feeling Of unrest. "
Your annast may tell Of pestilence,
The aftermath of Europe's chared fields.
Where blood of millions shed as consequence,
Befoued the soil and air with germs concealed.
We congratulate you that you have seen,
The great world war brought to close,
And war Lords who have thought to be supreme,
Become hiss and by-word and deposed.
You may have been surprised to see such things,
But we were not for we expected such.
The Prophets told us, and our memory springs,
Their words upon us with spirited touch.
We hope you've seen the dawn of better things,
Democracy is growing on the earth,
The fearless counterpart of Lords and Kings,
Bestowing freedom Of unbcunded worth.
We say goodby old year, you've done your best,
And worst forsooth your page has moral worth
We keep in mind Gods rules and Whose behest
Will bring about reign of peace on earth.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
CLUB NOW OPEN
Public Is Invited To Inspect Resting
Rooms Provided For Service
Men

With Otto Eggebrecht as manager,
the Wausau Soldiers and Sailors club
has been established in the Riebe
building, POI Third street. The city
council has made provision for its
maintenance and has equipped it COM
fortably with lounging chairs, card
tables, ETC. The citizens of the city
were early appealed to for equipment.
Rugs were donated, electric fixtures
were donated, bookstores donated
baskets, and many other things were
given by merchants and individuals.
However, the room is not fully
equipped as yet and anything which
it is surmised would be particularly
useful will yet be gladly received.
Pictures of George and Martha Wash
ington, General Pershing, Woodrow
Wilson, and large attractive Ameri-
can flag adorn the wall. Manager
Eggebrecht has made the room most
homelike.
Men who have been in the army,
navy or with the marines are urged
to make use of the club. The trains
will be met daily and soldiers and
sailors will be instructed where the
club is located. A bulletin board will
be paced in the room and each day
positions which are open in the city
will be posted. A book for the regis
tration of returned soldiers and sail
ors is to be opened.
