TIMBER WORKERS OUT
Twenty Thousand Men on
Strike for Eight Hour Day
- Rhinelander Mills Shut
Down.

Nearly all the mills at Rhine
lander have closed until the
strike situation has settled itself
one way or the other. The de-
mand for an eight hour day by
the timber workers will not be
met by the mill owners, accord
ing to statements issued by
them this week. Rhinelander is
the head of the association of
men seeking the eight hour scale,
and twenty thousand men are
idle as a result of last Mondays
action by mill men and laborers.
Rhinelander lumbermen de-
clare that under no considera-
tion will an sight hour demand
be granted. Their mills will re-
main closed. they say, until the
men are ready to return to the
old hour basis.

1t has been officially announced
that 343 death sentences were car
ried out in the British army during
the war, says the Springfield Repub-
lican. Eighteen of these were for
cOwardice, but there is ian uneasy
feeling that some of these sentences
were unjust. AS the war developed
the mental condition of men charged
with cowardice was studied by ex-
perts, and penalties were melted out
with greater care. Hysteria and
shell-shock were found to be respon-
sible for alteration that the brutal
discipline of former times would
have attributed to cowardice and pun
ished accordingly. 1t is probable that
an element of hysteria enters into
all cases of cowardice. Desertion, of
course, is another matter, and for this
offense 266 sentences of death were
carried out. A psychological examina-
iton would probably have shown that
not all of these casese were wilful.
Though men must have suffered pen
altis for which more scientific Justice
would have substituted mental treat
ment the gain in neuopsychiatry
during The war was one of the wars
incidental blessings. Some of the
lessons learned by the specialists
have yet to be transmitted to the
fields of law, penology and charity.

Five problems face this country:
I. What part shall the United States
take in world affairs?
2. To which political party do the
people desire to leave the enforce

8. How shall all industries be re-
organized so as to produce the, best
results?
How decrease the volume of pa
5. How diminish the expenses of the

After these problems have been solv

FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS

The experience of Mr.. E. J. Tou-

on account of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: II have been suf-

hoarseness was gone, also that

bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. It is
the best medicine ever put I'D for

For any disease due. to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism.
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, Indigestion,
catarrh OF the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.

anywhere in either tablet or liquid

The part that the shipper can play
in increasing capacity of the railroads
at a critical time is shown in the Il
cures presented to the interstate com
nerce commission by President Will
lard of the Baltimore and Ohio. Mr..
Willard says that the average carload
on American roads is only 20 per cent
of the carrying capacity and that
freight cars are standing on side
tracks waiting to be loaded or IN
loaded 81 per cent of the time. This
average number Of miles per car per
day has dropped from "a in 1918 to
23.1. The cumulative value of, little
things is shown by his statement
that cutting down by two hours a day
the time the cars are held by shipperS
and increasing the load by two tons
would. be equivalent to adding 800
900 cars to the country's equipment

Eve was reputedly barefoot, and
Nausicaa played ball all the better
because she was unshod. Helen of
Troy at the most wore sandals and
the sandal is the compromise be-
tween the shoeless and the shod. 1t
is easier to make sandals than to-
make boots. In Ireland and Scot
land the children have run barefoot
for many a day, and the wit of the
one and the enterprise of the other

DITHMAR BREAKS AWAY

Lieutenant Governor Dithmar of
Baraboo certainly gets a handsome
home endorsement for governor when
all the Sank county officers sign a
statement affirming their faith in his
integrity and in his professional
standing; and to this fine recommen-
dation is added the frank support of
both Baraboo dailies and all the week
lies of the county that have given any
expression at all.
And why not?
Assuredly Mr.. Dithmar is a worthy
product of the country-and his pub
lie career has reflected no little Gre
dit upon it.
Really Mr.. Dithmar's only visible
fault has been his loyalty to the La
Toilette vehicle, on the cruel wheel
of which ungrateful fractional friends
would now ruthlessly break him Like
many others, Mr. Dithmar finds too
late that men betray. 1t is. greatly to
his honor that he now becomes in
uepc1. se"a sA"'i,e.
Here are some planks from his plat
form that all of us can enthusiastical-
ly endorse: Legislation which will
effectually reduce the high cost of
living; anti-profiteering legislation
and strict enforcement thereof by
punishment, by imprisonment and
confiscation of profits; rigid econ
omy in all state departments; equit-
able readjustment of tax burdens;
simplification of income tax returns;
shorter legislative sessions; equitable
settlements of industrial disputes;
special sessions of legislature only in
extreme emergencies.
Mr. Dithmar has had a, wide ex-
perience in state affairs that would
be of large value to him as governor
Old friends, even though out of
sympathy with his partisan affilia-
tons in the past cannot but applaud
the liberty of action which he mani
tests in breaking away from the old
relationship and going directly after
a nomination to which no one possess
es claim logically superior to his
Madison Democrat.

At the close Of the fiscal year on
June 80 our gross national debt was
nearly $25,OOO,OOO,OOO says Harvey's
weekly. That is a colossal sum yet
it is proportionately somewhat less
than Our debt was fifty-five years
ago, aC tile close ii lha Civil Wat. At
that time Out !,h' Is nearly two ant
threequarter billions or $7698 per
capita; our national wealth was a
little over three billion or $646 per
capita. Now our debt is twenty five
billions, or 1898 per capita, and our
wealth is $267,OOO, 100000, or $2,543
per capita. Therefore in 1866 our
debt was 11.8 per cent of our wealth
and in 1920 it is only 9.3 per cent.
Contrast this with the condition of
France, whose debt is about fifty per
cent of her wealth.
