Members C.-S. Club Hear a
Splendid Community Talk
Saturday By Omro Lady.

Mrs. Minnie Morton of Omro.
Wis. who with her family is en-
joying a real nature outing in the
Big Woods region, gave the mem
bers of the c. S. Club of the coun-
~ n splendid talk at the club
meeting in the village Saturday
last. Mrs. Morton heads the steno-
graphic department in the Osh-
kosh Business College, and is also
actively engaged with many of the
Women's organizations in the
state.
The talk she gave here concern
ed the work of woman's orPani-
cations in activities in public en-
terprises, methods of raising mon
ey. forms of organizing for a pub
lie enterprise, and some of the OBJ
jects worthy of united efforts.
Having Just completed a tour
Of over a thousand miles i'm the
state, il was interesting To hear
Mrs. Morton relate the impressio ions

bridges that cross the Mississippi
river; at Winona, the spiderwcb
bridge; at another town the dis
appointment 10 find the falls in
honor of which the town had been
named, all enclosed in concrete.
Her idea is that each town should
have something distinctive which
its name might imply or which
at least would help lead tourists
to visit the place.
Omro, a town of 400 people, has
a wonderful park, the work Of its
citizens. Mrs. Morton after tel
ling of many amusing things in
the work of raising the money for
the park, spoke of the uneXpect-
cd by-product. the moral efforts.

activities of all the three clubs
which had thus far failed because

Town of Phelps Voted $1O,-
900 for New Roads in
That Section Last Thurs
day.

Forty votes for and but four
against, shows what the people of
the town of Phelps feel toward
better roads in their town. Their
idea is that with bully good roads
the making for a better and big
ser town is sure TO follow. And
they are right.
A bond issue for the placing in
action of $4,000 for new highways
in that town was voted on last
Thursday. Out Of forty-four votes
east, there We're but four against
the issue. When Phelps lays out
its system of proposed highways
II will reach every settled district
in the town. There never has yet
been a community failure where
highways We're given for service,
while many times where highways
were builded with no look into the
future, it has proven money poor
~ spent and n detriment to the
community's welfare. Phelps in
tends TO overcome the latter by
placing their highways where they
will be needed at present and in
the future.
1t is stated that as soon as the
bonds are disposed of the highway
between Phelps and Lac Vieux De
sert will be finished, opening up
a new territory for that town and
village.

Reports from the west side of
the county and lake region where
fishing lakes are thicker than hair
on an Airdale dog in flea time,
are to the effect that many big
fish are being taken now. We
all know that fishing was not the
best during July on account of
most all the real fishermen being
tied down with heavy work on ac-
count of strike conditions. Now
the fishermen are coming in droves
and 'fishin' is pickin' up"
Down in Georgia all the little
Georgian husbands who wish to
stay out all night ami skid around
will have to tell their respective
wives the honest-to-goodness truth
and reasons for their whereabouts
or get theirs"
Stories of sick friends and
the such, may get a bit of leni-
ency. But fishing" yarns are
especially dangerous.
To be exact, there is a bill IN
the Georgia senate which reads:
ANY and all married men who
shat go fishing without the con-
cent of their wives shall be guilty
of felony, and their sentence shall
not be less than five years nor
more than 20 years at hard labor.
Up here all some fellows do is to
tell their wives they are invited
to stag party" up TO State Line.

JUST FISH STORIES
- - - - - :.

This week the land-locked sal
man dake trout fellows are pull
ling in coolies of the birds which
inhabit George st. Glars lake up
Black Oak way. Says George, who
was down yesterday; "The only
section OF the state and real lake
region is around Black Oak. We
grow 'em big there. Big spuds
and big trout. Sure Is mighty
fine sport to hook one of these
golden fellows way down in the
bowels of the lake with several
hundred feet of copper wire and a
chunk of lead big enough 10 gao
an OK; then heave and haul with
a scrapping fish on the far end.
Yesterday, according 20 Mr.. St
Clair, a member OF the Island lake
club, named George Droeger of
Shiocton or some other village
down there, in one hour landed
six salmon from Black Oak. The
day previous Prof. George KEN
merer of the University of Wiscon-
sin pulled the baby of them all
a real beauty weighing twelve
pounds. Best time to fish, fellows,
is when the blamed tribe is out
after the bacon rind.

dium the cost Of incoming food
products can be reduced.
Had the Mitchell plan been ap-
proved and put into execution there
would be no death Avenue" Riv-
erside Drive would be as free from
smoke and noise as is Park Avenue,
whittier many Of It's residents have
been driven and where property
values have qusdrupled as a result
Of the electrifcation OF the New
York Central passenger tunnel
electrifcation Of the Riverside Park
tracks being a part Of the agree
ment which was upset.
Because Mayor Hylan thinks
there are votes in campaigns against
interests" the most beautiful park
in the city will continue indefinitely
to be smoke-clouded and filed with
Earring clamor. The city's rights 10
its use will stop at the railroad
tracks instead Of at the river front.
Where there might have been green
lawns and flower beds and terraces
there will be rails and ties and cattle
cars and all the unlovely accompani-
ments Of steam traffic.
The use Of the park, for which the
railroad would gladly have covered
its tracks and mitigated at a cost
Of S150,000,000 to itself the nui-
sances on the West Side, it now gets
for nothing.
The Hylan administration is
costly. In 1918 a bargain worth hun
dreds Of millions to the city was
obtainable. Now, even though the
directors Of the railroad were dis
posed to renew their offer, financial
conditions forbid it. So the city has
lost an improvement as great as
the Grand Central or Pennsylvania
station.

mo More War"

The National Council for the Re-
duction Of Armament is planning
for what it calls a mo More War"
demonstration on July 20 and 30.
On those days throughout the coun-
try placards will be hung up bear
ing the inscription mo More War"
Every right-minded person would
end warfare. War has no more
friends than murder. 1t has been
the dream Of all the ages to have an
international code, based on justice
and equity, to settle disputes be-
tween nations even as they are set
tied among the citizens Of states.
No one who values civilization and
its great fruits would impede any
intelligent effort to make war less
probable or to illegalize it.
Yet placards Of the kind described,
whether exhibited for two days or
for two weeks, or two years or even
for two centuries, are likely to do
more harm than good They divert
attention - tend TO anodyne large
numbers into thinking that they are
doing something for their ideal,
when in fact they are doing nothing.
War Is often an expression Of a
wicked will 10 steal or TO dominate.
When such it is the sum Of all in
EQUITY. But war is also often the
expression Of The God-implanted in
stinet to defend and to prevent
victory Of armed and ruthless wrong.
One who does not discriminate, who
does net look behind weapons to see
how and for what they are used, is
in no true sense a pacifst. Unless
he or she is willing to adopt and to
apply 70 conduct the principle Of
non-resistance TO evil, then there
must be possibility Of war as long as
there is possibility Of aggression.
To commingle in a common condem-
nation those who assail righteous
ness and those who defend it is not
only logical folly but betrays grave
moral obtuseness.

Double leaning

John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers. evidently re-
CARDS himself as a shrewder labor
leader than was John Mitchell. Not
TO be outdone in stupidity, the coal
operators, if "The Coal Age" cor
rectly interprets their attitude, have
apparently learned nothing from the
melancholy experience Of George F.
Baer.
When John Mitchell, who did more
10 promote the cause Of labor union
ism In this country and TO advance
the interests Of the miners than any
other man Of his generation, said he
favored arbitration he meant 1t. He
did not haggle when President
Roosevelt proposed a commission 10
investigate and decide. He at once
closed with the offer. He had suf-
fcient confidence in his cause to feel
It would stand examination.
Mr.. Lewis has a different policy.
After demanding national arbitra-
ton since early spring. now that he
can get it he attaches provisos and
conditions. He replies with offs"
and "buts." His course is naturally
highly pleasing to the operators.
most delighted TO have him share the
onus Of the rejection Of the Presi-
dents plan.
Mr. Baer was convinced that God
had placed the management Of the
country's coal industry in the hands
OF men whose decisions il was i'm
pious to question. His pious AFRO
gance contributed greatly to justify
ing the excuses Of the miners. He
injured the interest he SO fanatically
upheld. The late j. Pierpont Nor
gan was no special friend Of new
tangled ideas, yet he felt forced to
gag Baer and push him from the
high throne where the Readings
president held Providence had placed
him.
In practical effect, by severally re-
fusing TO come into an arbitral court,
the miners and the operators hitch
themselves TO the same wagon.
What do they expect to gain? Do
they entertain a hope that the pub
lie, when the weather becomes chilly,
will tamely submit and humbly agree
TO furnish any sum that the miners
and the operators jointly agree to
assess? Surely they know that there
are ways for the Administration to
compel settlement and that they will
be used If there is no other recourse.

The Ways of Sen6mentalism

One sure thing about the walk-out
Of the railroad shopmen is that It
Injuries all three parties to the
controversy.
The men are losing around
100000 a day in wages, and as
part of the public are paying more
for food the roads see another big
hole cut in their meager income !;
travellers arc subjected to dangers,
shippers to delayed freight and con-
sumers to higher prices.
In one respect, though smitten
the hardest, the public is entitled
to the least sympathy. For eight
years it tolerated Wilsonian eco
nomic absurdities. Even a brief
study of the financial condition of
the roads showed that they were
fighting for rates and wage scales
under which they could operate and
have something left for improve
ment. But sentimentalism of an ex-
IRENE variety was on horseback and
rode furiously. The men naturally
believed the White House when told
that they had an indisputable right
to enough to support five persons
according TO a standard Of living
set up by benevolent statisticians.
The organs Of public opinion did
little TO interrupt the flow Of senti-
mentalism. They did not, for exam
pie, emphasize the fact that mas
much as the gross national income
was but forty billions il was impos-
sible to distribute the sixty-fve bill
lions required IL every family is to
have $4,000.
Wilsonian sentimentalism tried to
stand up against economic fact, and
now we are seeing It's folly demon
strated. The roads meet the drafts
drawn against them and the strikers
cannot understand why their rights"
should be taken from them. Both
arc suffering and will continue to
suffer until the old truths are re-
learned: that a quart cup holds no
moro than a quart-that wages
cannot be put up by manifesto. Only
by enlarging the social product
can real wages be advanced-and
sentimentalism adds nothing to
production.

A Costly Administration

The first conspicuous act Of the
Hylan administration in 1918 was
to throw into the waste-basket an
agreement between the Mitchell adj
ministration and the New York Cen
trial by the terms of which the
railroad. at a cost of $3.50, ZOO, 900.
was TO cover its tracks in Riverside
Park, eliminate Death Avenue" by
building a freight subway and con-
struct a great freight terminal in
West Thirty-frst Street for the bet
ter and cheaper handling of mer-
chandise.
The agitation against the adop-
ton Of this plan had been led by
Charles l.. Craig, now City Como
troller, and backed by a number Of
renters and property owners on
Riverside Drive. Yielding to their
clamor and that Of the Hearst news
papers, Mayor Hylsn disapproved the
agreement and brought suit against
the New York Central to disposscss
1t from its holdings on the West Side
Of the city.
The Court Of Appeals, as was
anticipated, now has decided against
the city. 1t finds that the railroad
company owns the property it is
using and that it cannot be ousted.
Unless the railroad chooses volun-
tarily to make Improvements River
