THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT
LIKELY TO RESULT
IN COALITION

Chicago has been the scene of diff
ficult process the past week. Out of a
dozen different political movements,
liberals are attempting to form third
party to enter the presidential race
this coming fall. Liberals who believe
in public ownership, single takers.
labor men, and men of number of
other political beliefs met in several
conventions. Chief among these or
ganizations were the labor party and
the recently formed Committee of
Forty Eight. Early the talk of presi-
Dental nominee was strong, and Wis
consin's senior senator, Robert M. La
Toilette, received most favorable ova-
tions from both parties. From Madi-
son, however, came the word Satur-
day that the senator would not accept
the candidacy until the permanency of
the Chicago coalition was assured.
The Committee of Forty-eight has
come into being because it feels that
neither the Republican or the Demo-
cratic parties are serving the nation
adequately. Both old parties, it's an
nouncements make prominent, are so
controlled and Influenced that desir-
able economic and social reforms are
thwarted and control remains in the
hands of few persons. 1t likewise
maintains that these two organizations
are serving the same interests and
that there are no fundamental differ
ences between them. One of these lib
erals makes the statement that the
only differencesSare geographical, and
that time is eliminating this.
The Labor party has taken this atti-
tude since its organization last spring.
when the GOmpers element of union
labor refused to support it. John
Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, seems to indi-
cate the attitude of members of this
organization in his statement Saturday
before the conventions:
For years labor has followed the
old routine of appealing to existing
political parties. We have gone to
them with programs and have come
away with promises, only to see those
promises broken and shattered. Now
we are through. We have gotten our
own people together. We have tried to
say If words have any meaning, that
this program of ours was big and
pIodu enough IOf every man and wO-
man who does useful work to stand
upon. Big business has perverted our
statement in an attempt to show it is
wholly proposition for organized
| labor"
What inroads a coalition of these
several movements, under the leader
ship of man such as Senator R. M
La Toilette, might make can only be
estimated, but it is likely to affect Re-
publican strongholds more than Dem
ocratic. 1t would be assured much
strength in industrial strongholds and
| states like Wisconsin and North Da-
kota. If such an organization sue
ceeds, it must be reckoned with as a
| living force and not overlooked by the
old parties with a shrug of the shoul-
ders.

LIGHT UP THE ALLEYS

The Chamber of Commerce in its
last bulletin suggests a way to assist
IN preventing crime in our city, say
ing:
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure is the old adage
Chief of Police Malone called your
secretary's attention to the robberies
Of stores and hold-ups that are being
committed throughout the country.
Wausau fortunately has been free
from these crimes, but they may hap
pen at any time. 1t was suggested
that the business men place lights in
the rear of their places of business in
order that the alleys may be well
lighted. There is no question but this
is splendid suggestion. With all good
things there usually comes a certain
amount of expense, but as there is nc
telling but what your place of bust.
ness may be the one that will be en-.
tered tonight, really the expense does
not amount to very much,
In giving this matter some little
thought, and knowing that the alley:
should be lighted, which is a benef;
to the general public if the business
men are interested in this matte
which they should be, perhaps ar
rangements could be made with tn
city If the fixtures were furnished b
the abutting property holders that th
city would furnish the electricity"

E. N. KNUTSON. FORMER
RESIDENT. DIES

The Pilot has been informed of the
death of E. M. Knutson, former resi-
dent of Wausau, the story of whose
Imprisonment in Germany during the
war is familiar to many local people.
He was buried at Rice Lake, Wis, on
Wednesday last, where he died at the
home of his mother and sister. Ted
Knutson was not yet thirty years old,
but he. had become well known in
Minneapolis musical circles and sang
in st. Paul's Episcopal church there
until friends made it possible for him
Ito study in Germany. His voice and
technique were just beginning to at
tract widespread interest of critics
when KnutsOn was imprisoned in Ger
many and his health was undermined.
Late in the summer of 1917, KnutSon
was sent to Switzerland, returning to
the United States. He went to the san
atorium&at Stevens Point, winning
back health enough to undertake voice
teaching in the fall of 1918. Tubercu
losis fastened a greater hold upon him
when he later contracted influenza.
Since 1918 he. has rapidly declined.
1t was reported when he returned
from Germany that he had been
thrown into prison arbitrarily and that
no opportunity had been given him to
explain his position. The camp into
which he was thrown consisted of un-
heated barracks, and almost altogeth-
er without sanitary conveniences. The
Minneapolis Tribune declares that
with no extra clothes and no bedding
except thin and filthy cotton blankets,
Knutson became dangerously i'll. A Sc
we're cold developed into tuberculosis.
When illness brought him to the at
tention of the authorities, the singer
at last received an examination. This
led to his release. He was allowed to
return to his apartment in Bramen,
but was required to report daily to
| the police. Under a physicians care
he tried to regain his health. In this
he had no success. The Germans, who
were eager to avoid all unnecessary
charges, finally freed him to go to
Switzerland"

CITY COUNCIL SET ON
AVENUE BRIDGE ISSUE

The city council instructed Patrick
II. Stone, city attorney, and Mayor
Emil Flatter at its meeting last Tues
day evening to carry further the mat
ter of concrete bridge over the rail-
road passage-way on Grand avenue
The Chicago & Northwestern railroad
has already indicated its Willingness
to widen represent bridge but II
will not agree to assist in building a
firmer structure. The mayor suggest
ed that the matter be taken up with
the railroad commission. Otto Muel-
ler. who was asked to speak, urged
that bridge which would conform to
the general improvements being made
on the avenue, be constructed.
A letter from Wausau Lodge No.
1876 Loyal Order of Moose, was read
in which it was requested that the city
permit the holding of carnival at
| Jefferson and Second streets on July
80, 81 and August 1, and that whatever
| license fee was entailed be waived
since the Moose would receive finan-
cial aid from the carnival company in
the entertainment of their guests. The
Loyal Order of Moose will hold con-
vention in Wausau at that time. The
council granted the request, having
been satisfied that property owners on
/ the thoroughfares would not be op-
posed. =
! The council authorized the borrow
ing of 100000, to be distributed
among the various banks of the city
for the purpose of paying contractors
for work they are now doing. The
sum of $3.50 was voted for the use oi
the city attorney in his revision of city
ordinances.
The matter of opening an alley in
the Eva Quaw addition was referred tC
committee. Contractor Carl Lott
was awarded the contract for the con.
struction of sewers on Sherman street
and Fifth avenue south. Lights were
! ordered placed on the corner of Ar
thur and Manson streets; Forest anC
Tenth streets, and East Plumer ant
Bells streets.
The question of a school in the towr
of Weston, which may be joined tt
the city shortly, was also discussed. L
was recommended that unit of a new
school be constructed there.
Alderman Scholfield declared h
considered it impractical to make sa
looms pay permit fee for selling drinks
with little alcohol while drug stree!
sold the higher percentages withou
paying a substantial city license. Cit.

following is a portion of Mr.. Wiech-
mann's address:
Some time ago I was chosen chair
man of a campaign committee, endors-
ed by this club, to raise $4,000 for Boy
Scouts. Not being familiar with boys
work, | requested the chairman on
boys work, Silas B. Tobey, to delay
this work until my return from At

your other delegate, Louis Pradt,
chose to look after the part taken
up at the convention on boys work
and my attendance was one hundred

ROTARY CLUB

ADDRESSES MADE BY
JUSTICE ROSENBERRY
AND #. G.. WIECHMANN

Over seventy Rotarians gathered at
a special dinner served last Thursday
evening at the Cyrus Yawkey hail.
when the Boy Scout movement was
discussed and arrangements were
made by the Rotary club to raise
$4,000 for the first of three year
period. This newly formulated pro-
gram of the scouts calls for council
of twenty-five members or more, an
executive committee, central SCOUT
commissioner and paid secretary
F.. G Wiechmann. who made special
study of the boy scout movement while
he was attending the international
Rotary convention at Atlantic City

committee. A plan for a city-wide
campaign will soon be made and car
ried out and by September it is hoped
the scout organization can be COM
pleted.
Justie NJ. 3. Rosenberg spoke on

ognition of the boy problem as one ol

Justice emphasized, have caused this
problem to be overlooked although il
is much more necessary than hereto
fore because conditions have caused
the elimination almost altogether Of
pioneer influences. The country boy
has a big advantage over the city
youth for several reasons. He has
first of all, the constant company Of
men thereby early getting mans no

emphasized the necessity of father;
paying more attention to their son:
and OF their taking them into theil
confidence, not delegating all super

That the Boy Scout movement con

exactly what they desire and need
was another point the judge made. Th'

never lies in obtaining members bu
rather in finding a proper scoutmas
