A RESCUE HOME

We have not yet had the public
spirit to build up a community rem
ter for our boys and girls. Our
young people follow the God-given
impulse of social life, seeing each
other as much as possible, in spite OF
the fact that they have no other
place to meet and become acquainted
than the Main street of our city.
Since we have not done this for them
should we not be suitable supervision
The Salvation Army helps the man
of all creeds who has never made
good, helps the girl who will never
make good without it's help. Do we
know what has become of the young
people about whom there was so
much talk last year? They disap-
peared from our justly shocked and
respectable little town and we did
nothing to help them to better life.
Now is our opportunity to help build
a place where the girls of Wisconsin
may go, where no questions Will pe
asked of their past, and where they
will be carried forward to a useful
and right living future.
The Salvation Army proposes to
build a Rescue home at Milwaukee
for the state of Wisconsin large
enough to cost s125,0OO. Six hun
dred dollars is Mineral Points share.
If you feel that you haven't given
enough, put your hand in your pock-
ct and give more, If you haven't
been asked to give. send or give your
share to Mrs. w. M. Gratiot, 81
High street, before Saturday of this
week.

YOUR GOVERNMENT

THE American citizen is one of
the governors of the republic. Is
sues are decided and rules selected
by direct popular vote. Elections
are so frequent that to do his duty at
them citizen ought to be constantly
watching public affairs with a full
comprehension of/the principles in
volved in them and a judgment of
the candidates derived from criti-
cism of their arguments as we'll as
recollection of their past careers"
There is a great uprising in
national and state politics this
fall. New issues have been
joined; and new lines are
forming.
Here in Wisconsin men are
breaking through party lines as
they never broke through before
The women are coming in with
their numerous votes and tre-
mendous influence.
It will not do to meet present
conditions with opinions carried
over from former campaigns. If
you do meet them in this man
ner you will not be living up to
your full duty of citizenship as
one of the governors of the
republic.
To this community on Friday
are coming three men who have
been called out to stand for pub
lie office; and to whom good
citizens of all parties are turn
ing for better things in govern
ment. Men and women, turn
out and hear them present their
cause. Our beautiful Municipal
Theatre, of which we are all so
proud, cannot be devoted to
better purpose than that of
forum in which we shall meet
for inspiration to a better citi-
zenship and to work out a better
democracy.

HIGH SCHOOL

Our football boys went to Dodge
vile on Friday, Oct. 8. A large part
of the student body went with them
to see the game which resulted in
glorious victory for Mineral Point.
At the beginning of the game it
looked as if it were going to be an
evenly matched game, but after our
boys got warmed up we Immediately
began to score. Paul Graber made
six touchdowns during the game, five
of which were made during the first
half. All the boys played good
game which ended with a score of
rs too in favor of Mineral Point.
On Friday, Oct. Is, 1920 we will
meet Mt. Horeb here on the Fair
Grounds. Mt. Horeb has strong
team. Darlington met the Mt. Horeb
boys at Mt. Horeb and were defeated
by one sided score. We have every
reason to expect close, hard-fought
game. 1t is hoped that large crowd
will turn out to support our team.
Plans are being made for an early
start on the Pointer this year. A
nominating committee consisting of
two members of the faculty and a
representative chosen by each of the
four classes selected candidates for
the general positions of the staff. AS
a result of the election Philip Brewer
will act as Editor-in-chief with Nellie
Jeuck and Theodore Hankins as as
sociate editors; Jack Jeuck with
Kathryn Morgan and Wesley Martin
as assistants will look after the busi-
ness end of the work. Special edi-
tors will be elected by the classes and
various organizations.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER IA, 1920.

The venerable Charles w. Elliott,
leading Republican, able statesman
and good citizen, says with sorrow
that under the leadership of Lodge
and others the Republican party mas
turned it's back on it's own principles
Of 1860 and 1918. He also pays
great tribute to Mr.. Wilson's good
and masterful leadership in peace
and war. Small and mean men, who
only think that they are Republicans
followers of Will Hays, publish inde-
cent jibes at our president, and falsi-
fly his good record.
