err Speaks to Bible Class.
Other Addresses Planned.

Herman f. Lion. of the STAN In
charge of the reorganization cam

addressed the mems Bible class OF
lbe Baptist church yesterday.
The Modern Type Of Chamber CT
cSmmcrce," Mr.. Lion said, is a
practical application of the princi-
lies of religion. Most people ave
forgotten that Jesus stated that ire
Kingdom of God was to be attained
fioht here on earth, and now. Many
people have tried to build up a bit
~ uaradise upon earth only at length
~ fail. Each such paradise was
conceived in selfshness and at the
exnense OF others. Not even the
wealthiest among us mortals can
hone ever to achieve an earthly par
adise alone and apart from the re-
mainder of humanity. The only
worth while paradise on earth Is
such a one as is democratic and in
which all may share.
"The Modern Type Of Chamber
Of Commerce has caught this new
vision. 1t has discovered That noth-
Ing can succeed which is not based
IN unselfish service. someone IS
forgetting himself in the thing ne Is
doing. or il will never be done right.
mat is one of the teachings of reli-
zion. As illustrated in promotion OF
the interests of a community, II lie
IN first making the community a
desirable place in which to live and

Is industries and commerce will be
added unto it. This Is as certain
ns that the u shines, for If the
doubter will look up the history OF
The old Board of Trade idea through

has failed because 1t was working
for the interests OF the few only, and
forgot the fundamentals Of commun-
ity Gee The plan which has
been adopted for the new Perth Am
bow Chamber of Commerce takes
these into account. 1t is the only
pian that has proved lastingly sue
eersful in more than 200 cities scat

NO $4,000
IN The TRUNK

This morning The News received a
telegram from Ottawa, Canada, to
the effect that G.. w. Burdick of Bara-
boo had connection with Toronto Of
ficials regarding missing fortune.
Mr.. Burdick says he knows nothing
about the matter but from what took
place a few days ago there is a hint
that C. E. NJ Churchill, sentenced to
a term in Waupun from this county on
the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses is at. the bottom of
it. Within week Attorney E. T. Ell
yer Of Madison came to Baraboo and
visited the home of Mr.. and Mrs Bur
dick where he demanded the trunk
left by Churchill and which Elver
said contained $4,000. Mr.. Burdick
was not at home when the Madison
lawyer called but Mrs. Burdick told
him there was no such sum in the
trunk and that it was being held for
a board bill and other expenses. Mr..
Burdick says the trunk and contents
are worth but very little. Evidently
Churchill has some friend in Canada
who is trying to pull a wire" for
him.

Mrs. Robert NJ. LaFollette Speaks
to Large Audience in Hall Sat
urday Night
SAYS EVERY HISTORICAL
EVENT HAS OWN MEANING
Makes Statement Also That One
Sugar COmpank Cleared SILL
100000 in One Month

Saturday evening the Mueller hall
was we'll filled to hear an address
given by Mrs. r. NJ. La Toilette of
Madison, Mrs. Clara T. Runge acted
as chairman of the meeting and with
short address of introduction, pre-
sented Mrs. La Toilette to her hearers.
The speaker expressed pleasure at
being able to be here among BarabOO
people and used as her subject, why
and How l Vote in the State Of Wis
The highest tribute ever paid a wom-
an was given to her, in that she was
allowed the privilege Of speaking as
she felt on such vital issues. She
said the women Of Wisconsin, having
been given the ballot such a short
time before the primary election, hard
~ realized they were enfranchized
before they must go and vote. The
speaker said that every event in his
tory has it's own particular meaning
or purpose that it may bring either
Joy or sorrow Men and women must
be patient and learn to value any or
every distinct gain, no matter how
small.
Mrs La Toilette, being a firm be
lever of the progressive republican
ideals spoke in favor of the several
candidates Of that party.
Tie speaker stated the following as
facts concerning war time: Some prOfi
teers netted between 1000 and 1000
per cent OF their capital, that one
sugar company in Boston made a
profit of $11 900, 900 in one month, and
that in two years enough was paid
mine owners for coal to buy the whole
mines.
AS a conclusion, Mrs. La Toilette
likened our government to a home
wherein are several servants She
said if the owner leaves the home for
a time trus ting to the servants, the
latter are very apt not do their duty
and concerning the government, Mrs.
La Toilette said "Our officers are
only servants and if we, the ones for
whom they work, pay no attention to
them, they will probably operate the
huge government machine to please
themselves and to make profits for
themselves"
Mrs. La Toilette made attacks on
the league of nations and the Esch-
Cummins law

CLUB DISCUSSES
PLATFORMS OF
THREE PARTIES
Leaders in the Political Arena Of
ten Opposed to farty Ideas Yet
Kept in Line

The platforms of the three political
parties were discussed by the mem
bers of the Fortnightly Literary club
on Friday evening at the home of
Miss Christina Wright, S. J. Hood pre-
senting the Democratic, A. S. Kings
ford the Republican, and Mrs, e.
Aug. Runge the Socialist.
In dealing with the Democratic
planks, Mr.. Hood said that in many
respects they had been much like the
for many years in the past. The para
mount difference in the past had been
the tariff and this year it was the
league of nations.
AS to the high cost of living the
platform blamed the Republicans, as
usual, and the same old story as to
the reduction Of taxes was present
ed The administration took over the
railroads with the equipment in ser
ious condition but the platform was
silent on the billion dollar indebted
ness resulting from poor management
The platform was also quiet on the
ship-building blunder and other forms
of waste during the war.
straddIed The Issues
In discussing the Republican plat
form Mr. Kingsford said the planks
were framed behind the seen es at Chi
cago and that there was much strad-
ding in building the structure. 1t
was the old guard again in power,
there being marked harmony except
for the Wisconsin delegation. Old
hands had the inning, much the
same as in 1900,
The great national issue is the pol
icy of reconstructing the world,
wrapped up in the league of nations.
The league Of nations is the great is
sue in this campaign. Peace was de-
clared two years ago and about 40
nations have signed the league. Amer
ica remains on the outside. 1t was
Taft and others many Of them Repub-
licans, who launched the League to
Enforce Peace" yet the party now ap-
pears to be opposed to the idea Taft
and the other leaders are whipped IN
to party lines for other reasons. The
speaker declared this strange anomaly
was a tragedy.
In the Democratic party some Of
the leaders are opposed to the Wilson
policy yet are kept in line through
party influences.
The Third Party
Mrs. Runge declared she was not
a socialist yet was in sympathy with
the movement, The Socialist plat
form consisted of fourteen points, the
most of which were presented by the
speaker The party is against great
fortunes, against militarism, against
race hatred. The party is for free
speech, for free press, for free as
semblage, and would indict many of
the federal officers if they could The
party believes that any language
should be taught at any time and pla-
ce and that public ownership should
include practically all industries They
are against the profiteers and would
have the rich bear the blunt of all
taxation.
The discussion was then led by G.
w. Andrews. former Republican coun-
ty chairman. He believed that the
league was placed in the foreground in
order to smother the temperance is
sue. Others thought the constitut
ton had been amended as to the
liquor question and the parties were
wise in ont bringing this into the
campaign.

noticed an item regarding the pre-
posed removal of the body of Belle
Boyd from the Kilbourn cemetery.
The item taken from the ''Kilbourn
Events" states that she was buried
there by the Grand Army and Wom-
ans Relief Corps. Now | am perfectly
willing to give the devil his due, but
I would, like TO tell the people a few
facts which have never before ap-
peared in print. Belle Boyd died at
the Hill House in Kilbourn, June II,
1900. Her husband, Mr.. High was
with her Like a great many small
travelling shows they were very low
financially, so the Grand ARMY of
Kilbourn was appealed to. No! not one
red cent would they give to bury that
rebel. so the body lay all day, until
late in the evening. The conditions
were heard by young Episcopal min
lister, the Rev Arthur Gorter who
willingly lent his assistance. Word
was sent to her relatives, also to the
theatrical union, both Of which sent
money by telegraph and the next day
a lot was purchased in the Spring
Grove cemetery and Belle Boyd was
buried. Father Gorter, now Of Louis
Vile. KY. conducted the funeral SER
vice. and ! was told by Father Gorter
that there was not a single member
of the G.. A r. or w. r. G.. who at
tended the funeral. For five years
her grave lay there untouched and un-
cared for, with not a head stone,
board or plank to mark the last rest

spies in the rebel army-a woman
whose deeds of daring among the
union armies would have filled a vol
