Ireland tore the fly leaves from old
books. concOcted an ink that looked
faded, and forged Shakespeare's sigma

his father. The play was actually

For the first time since it's install
lation Barton Municipal Electric plant
is handicapped because of low water
For the past ten days Barton has
been without street lights and the
voltage has been low much of the
time but a little relief has been
found in the release of storage water
and the adding of small generator
at the local Peerless factory's steam
plant.
Newport's system is in much worse
condition than Barton's, the city be-
ing mostly without lights Tuesday
evening and the voltage is so low as
to make the operation of electric mo-
tors impractical. A large rainfall is
the only permanent relief from SER
ious situation.

Avoid Trees During storm.

AVOID tees OUrInQ SICFTsi. -
1t is generally conceded that to seek
refuge under a tree during thunder
storm is more dangerous than to stay
out in the open. Some trees are mora
often struck than others, and one sell
enlist describes the sycamore tree as
the most susceptible of all. But the
man who considers himself safe un-
der an oak, because there is syca-
more a few yards away, is putting
sublime faith in statistics. City dwell
ers are safer than country folk. The
great high masses of steel and mason
ry towering overhead offer a protec-
ton.

Editorials do not exist to reflect popular opinion, and contrary to popular opinion, at their best they are not written altogether to sway opinion.
 It is often said, particularly in small cities that papers should confinc their editorial mat to local matters, that people take their op- inions on national and international subjects from the larger papers. If the people take their opinions on anything from an editorial column, they are chumps. An editorial pre- sents if as convincngly as possible, but ii is not the law and the prophets.
 The best service it can perform is to stimu- late thought. If it can prove point by state mcnt of chapter and verse, if it can turn up an important SidcIight that reveals a new angle of a problem, if it can inspire active interest in a subject of importance. if it says, something it is a good editorial, and has fulfilled its purpose.
 Eloqucncc and style is the result of thought designed to instigatc thought. None of which alters the fact that people will continue to like editorials expressing their point of view and to disapprovc those with which they do not agree If they were wise they would follow the papers example and do their own think ing, reading editorials as possible lighthouses to point out a danger spot or a chang" in th" course.

WHY EDITORIALS?

Why are editorials! What are editorials! !!
 Editorials properly came into existence be cause newspaper people are human and want to express their vicws An honest paper tries to keep ifs personal bias out of roortS of th" news so far as is possible. In the editorial columns if is at liberty to say what if thinks about events as reported in the news. After all the Fourth Estate has as much right to opinions and to the free expression thereof as any of the first three, says the Palm Beach Post. The fact that people read editorials jus tifies their being, and suggests that they have some value
 What are editorials? They are comment, expressions of a papers opinion on various subjects. They may represent one mans op- inion or a papers policy. Moreover they are informative as news cannot be- since they are not confined to the happenings of one day They may delvc into causes and draw conclus- ions. Alas, they are never ceasing of con troversy. One editorial may please somebody but it is certain that every one will displease somebody which does not matter so very much after all.

A WIDE OPEN DOOR

Word comes from Argentina that success of the government of that country in placing a loan in the United States "has produced a feeling of optimism among mcrchants' there and has created sentiment that may find rx- pression in increased trade with this country. A Rucnos Avrcs business man writes that ''an improvement in the Argentine peso is looked for, with consequent stimulus to buying American goods." It is added that there is a good demand for American merchant disc in Argentina, but operations have been hampcrcd of late by trade depression, and this has resulted in some American firms quitting the field, in which their places have been talk on by English and German dealers. But there is every reason tO believe that with proper encouragement manufacturers in the United States can hold and increase the business now done with Argentina and other Latin Am"ri- can countries

John BalIainc would have Senators believe that the circumstances that the Seattle Cham brr of Commerce refused to give him an op- portunity to make d speech before it is cy- dcnce that the Morgan -Guggcnhcm syndicate owned or controlled the Board of Trustees of that organization The Empire holds no brief for the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, but 1t does not necessarily follow that Mr. Ballainc 's contention is sound Senators should not for get that people of Seattle have known Mr. Bal lain for long time and that he had made many speeches there. It might be that the Chamber of Commerce believed that busy men would not care to devote two hours to being harrangued by him.
 Senators should also note the suggestion of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce that the Guggpnhcims "havc done a great deal in de- vcIoping Alaska" They have added the thriving City of Cordova and the prosperous towns of Chitna Mccarthy, kcnn"cott, and other communities of the Copper River Valley, with their hundreds of homes, their schools, churches and other institutions of civiIIza- ton, to Alaska.

AUGUST J. SMITH


AS one by one the older residents
and business men of Yiroqua pass be.
yond the veil which hides the life to
be from mortal ken, it brings to those
surviving a scene of deepest regret
and lonliness. The life of August ]
Smith has been closely entwined with
Viroqua for nearly forty years. AS
business man, citizen, and mayor OF
the city, he has carved deem into the
community life a substantial record OF
earnest service and personal upright
ness which now survives to raise up
and bear witness to his sterling integ-
rity and worth. With bowed heads we
accept the solemn verdict which re-
moves him from our midst and trust
that upon his spirit rests the breath
of the eternal morning.
August j. Smith was born in Sum-
merdale, Saxony, Germany, November
a, 1847. He came to the United States
when 6 years old,settling first in Sank
county. In 1861 he moved to Lacrosse
county, settling near Bangor. He
spent the years from 1868 to 1871 in
west Returning, he and his brother
William engaged in the hardware bust
ness in Bangor. From 1888 to 1904
he engaged in the same business in vi
roqua. He was married on July 4,l8SS
to Mrs. Anna Evans. Three children
were born, one dying in infancy, Hazel
(Mrs. c. A. Parker,) and Fay surviv-
ing. Mrs. Smith passed away in 1909
The body was brought from Califor-
MIA to the old home at Bangor where
Pastor Harris of this city conducted
simple services on Monday and laid
away to rest the body Of our departed
brother.
