DEMOCRACY UNTERRIFlED

The Democratic county committee
met last Friday and organized The
officers chosen to conduct the cam
paign this fall are: Chairman F.. S.
Schmitz; Secretary, Harry f. Kelleyi
Treasurer, James Carey. A few vacan-
cies in the committee were filed. The
meeting was well attended considering
the time and circumstances. A fair
delegation of county committeeman
were present. The officers and candi-
dates labor under no delusions as to
the task before them. If the unfair
statute prevents a state Democratic
ticket a point to be shortly decided by
the supreme court, the local Democrats
will go out and make campaign for
themselves and the independent state
Democratic candidates They realize
that the apparent eclipse of the party
in this state, as evidenced by the re-
cent primary election, is the result of
unusual and temporary conditions. The
organization will be built up and the
party of Jefferson, now needed more
than ever in our state and nation, will
not be permitted to be strangled by
statute in one of its ancient strong
holds.

OBITUARY

Gustave II. Torrison, president OF
the o. Torrison company, died Tuesday
at the Presbyterian hospital, Chicago
following an operation performed the
preceding Friday. He left ManitowoC
about week before his death for ex-
animation at Chicago The body ar
rived here Wednesday and the funeral
will be held Friday afternoon from the
old home on Michigan avenue, with SER
vices at the First Lutheran church.
Mr.. TorriSon was born in this city
October 10, 1866, and reared here. He
was educated in the local schools and
at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa. He
then entered into the service of the big
business interests which his father had
founded and developed here and for
about thirty-five years he has been an
important factor in the business. Since
the death of his older brother Thomas,
about four years ago. he has been pres
ident of the company, and has borne
the main responsibility. Few men
could follow Thomas Torrison without
suffering by comparison but Gustave
has gradually been taking his place as
first class business executive; one Of
initiative and sound judgment.
He was married in September, 1897
to Mathilda Mandt of Stoughton who
survives him together with two sons,
Mandt, a student at Harvard College of
Law and Richard, a student at the
University of Wisconsin. He is sur
vved also by his mother, and brothers
Norman, Aaron and William all of this
city, Rev. |. B. Torrison of Decorah,
Ia, Judge Oscar Torrison and Dr.
George Torrison of Chicago, and sis
ter, Mrs. Charles Stewart, of Chicago.
He was an Elk and Kiwanian and
all his life a participant of the activi-
ties of the First Lutheran church.
Gustave Torrison lived a clean, use
tul life. Big responsibilities were
thrust upon him at an age when an or
dnary man does not want to accept
such burdens but he carried on and
made good. He pursued the even tenor
of his way in IL, unruffled Torrison
manner but her y as stuff worthy of
the stock from whence it came. The
community is a sad loser by his going.
The Torrison interests have been
struck severe blows by the deaths with
in few years, of four of the old sup
ports who grew up with the business,
and were among its main reliances,
all called antimely and almost without
warning: Thomas f.. Torrison, Evan
TOllefson, Biorn Sonsthagen, and Gus
tave II. Torrison.

EDUCATIONAL
BY LILLIAN L. CHLoUPEK

The Manitowoc County School Board
Convention will be held at the Capitol
Theatre at Manitowoc on Friday, Nov
ember 3, 1922 beginning promptly at
1000 A. M. Mr.. A. A. Thompson of
the State Department of Education will
bethe main conductor of the convention.
Mr., Thompson has not yet announced
his topics but will talk along lines of
interest to all school board members.
An attempt is being made to secure
Prof. Dykema of Madison to speak on
Music for the Country School, and il
lustrate the kinds of music that should
be allowed, and the kind that should
absolutely be weeded out of the public
schools
Miss Marie Gerhards, County Nurse
will be given a short period in which to
get acquainted with Manitowoc County
School Board Members, Mr.. Smith,
County Agent will discuss Milk Week"
and the County Superintendent will
take up work pertaining to the Office.
Sec. 39.07 (9l of the Laws of Wiscon-
sin of 1921 states that the County Sup
erintendent shall annually call and hold
at least one school-board convention
Each District Clerk shall and the
Director and Treasurer may attend
such convention. Each school-board
member present shall be allowed four
dollars day for attendance, provided
that his Certificate of Attendance
shows that he was present at each sess-
ion Of the Convention. Mileage at the
rate of three cents per mile each way,
going and returning, from said meeting
shall also be paid each member from
any moneys in the school district treas
ury not otherwise appropriated. The
certificates of attendance must be filed
with the Clerk of each district to serve
as a basis or evidence for drawing the
necessary warrant upon the district
treasury.
The district boards may invite their
teachers to attend if they so desire,
and allow them the day as though school
were actually in session. This is done
in many counties-but is a matter that
rests with the school boards Let
us have a perfect attendance of
school board members. Women in
terested in the educational progress
of the County are invited to the con-
vention, as well as all other friends of
the county school work. We hope to
have the Training School faculty and
students attend the entire meeting.
No other formal notice of the meeting
will be sent to Board Members although
the full program will be published in
the local papers

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The city council met in regular ses-
sion Monday evening. All members
were present
1t was the annual big time when the
city fathers levy the taxes for the year
and the aldermen whose terms expire
the following spring indulge themselves
in the familiar game of "cutting to
bone" proposed appropriations, all to
no purpose, as taxes year by year
mount higher and higher. Last year
the city raised S245,594.50 in taxes.
This year, after all the cutting to the
bone," was over. the sum to be raised
is S2S9,I7905. Although the toiler in
the shop will pay more taxes on his
little home he may be happy in the as
surance that the rate is lower than last
year, due to increasing the 1921 100
per cent assessment by about 100000,
He may take such consolation from
that fact as he can.
There was the usual struggle over
the items of the budget reported for
approval by the committee on finance
The city departments get about the
same allowances as last year.
The committee wanted to raise Sl6,-
500 for a beautiful structure to be
erected over in the sand on the south
side beach to be used about thirty days
a year, but in a lucid interval the prof.
ect was killed, after considerable talk,
but $4,000 was added to street up
keep.
The new high school adds 81 per
$1,000 of valuation to the taxes.
As finally adopted, the budget is as
follows, the items here being each sub
divided in the body of the report:

QUICK MOVE SAVES LIFE

George Uyary, a city electric line
man skirted the edge of the hereafter
for a few minutes last Saturday and
is here now because of the presence of
mind of fellow employe. Uvary was
working on pole at Tenth and QUAY
streets. He came in contact with a
high tension wire and crnmpled up,
held from falling to the pavement only
by his belt around the pole and a
cross beam on which he lay. Buck
Sawyer, working on another pole a
short block away, saw the happening
and instantly cut the high tension wire.
handling his nippers with Insulating
gloves A ladder was brought from
the south side fire station and in a
short time Uyary had recovered enough
to get down with some assistance. He
had suffered d severe shock and was
taken to the Holy Family Hospital.
Sawyer secuted the idea that there
was anything particularly meritorious
about his act but IL showed coolness
sound judgment and quick action In d
sudden emergency that not everyone
possess.

FOR HEALTH CENTER

Last week Miss GerhardS, county
nurse, gave a talk at Nalders on the
subject of health center for the
county and the matter of establishing a
center will be taken up at the next
meeting of the county board. The es-
tablishment of health center will per-
nit the county to participate in state
appropriation for that purpose and in
the federal fund under the Towner-
Shepard act. 1t would mean a monthly
clinic for school children with exam
nations by officers of the state board
of health, followed by work by state
nurse. The state receives about $780,
900 from the federal government for
the work and three state district nurses
are at work.
Women of the county will be solicit
ed to give their support to the move
ment.

MEMORIAL UP AGAIN

The plans for a soldiers memorial
for Manitowoc have been revived upon
the initiative of the local Kiwanis club,
which has addressed the other two
"civic clubs" the Rotary and the Lions,
to cooperate in puntting it over. ThOs.
MckeOugh. on behalf of the kiwaniS
club, explained the project to the Ro-
tarians and they are to act on the
matter next Monday. The suggestion
is for committee of fifteen, five from
each club, to determine the character
of the memorial, its location, cost, and
other details 1t was suggested that
prompt action might result in the cree
tion being ready for dedication by
Memorial day, next May. The Kiwanis
has had the matter under consideration
for some time and has given the matter
thorough study.
Several efforts have been made to
get such a movement started. The last
one about two years ago came when
sentiment seemed to be almost unani-
nous for a utilitarian form, such as a
civic center or public building of some
Aind. This idea involved such large
sum at a time when the public was
completely fed up on "drives" that the
matter simply lapsed, apparently by
common consent.
The project is now in proper hands;
organizations with the machinery in
action for getting results.

local NJ NJ. team played Two Rivers.

The ManitowOc High school defeated
Sturgeon Bay High school eleven at
the fair grounds Saturday, l3 to o.
Sturgeon Bay never threatened the To-
cal goal line and they were lucky the
score wasn't doubled Manitowoc
looked like different team than the
one that lost so decisively to Appleton
week before. 1t would be inyidious
to mention names. The spectacular
plays by backs are often more properly
credited to effective work of others
than to the man with the ball. The
game ended with Manitowoc about to
go over for another touchdown.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

On Sunday evening last Martinius
Nicholson, of this city, a lad about
twelve years of age, had his leg broken
just above the ankle, in a scuffle with
another boy. Both bones were broken.
DR. Brown. who set the limb, and SUI
perintends the case, thinks he will re-
cover with as good leg as ever.

Amount to be raised by
taxation ............... 9,l79.05
Included in the heading General
Government there is an item reading
Board of Review 1926" AS pay to
members at the rate limited by law
would come to but a minor fraction of
1925 the council must have in
contemplation the idea of voting them
selves next year another $50 per cent
of the amount the law allows them of
the taxpayers money 1t is extremely
unlikely that they will get away with
anything so raw again.
Some of the aldermen thought
Chief Kratz's bill of Sll7.50 for the
use of his own automobile while the
excessive. 1t was pointed out that
other city officers charged only 81 per
day as against the chiefs $3.50 per
day. The chief said he would get it all
or take nothing. 1t was sent back to
the committee for further deliberati0n.
The budget of the board of educa-
tion was adopted without a change,
The resolution providing for $780,
900 more of high school bonds was
passed.
Joseph Bigel was reelected as a
member of the city utilities commits
sion, over Joseph Eastman, 9 to 5.
The request of the city library board
for S12,500 was allowed at $ll, 900.
The action of the last preceding
meeting of disallowing the claim of
George Mahnke for personal injuries
caused by an alleged defective man
hole cover on a street was rescinded
and the matter sent back to commit
tee. 1t developed that he had given
notice within fifteen days as required
BY law, the disallowance having been
due to the belief that he had not done
so.
A sidetrack privilege was granted to
the Wiese Laboratory Furniture com
pany and 800 foot spur will be built
to the new high school at an expense
to the city of $6l2.
The state board of health insists that
the city tramp station be provided with
a skylght so that the weary wanderers
may enjoy the inspiration of neecy
clouds floating by as they take 'heir
sestas, and il was so ordered. Modern
toilet facilities are also required by
modern foot tourists Manicure sets

NUMBER IS
SPORTS

Over two hundred fifty loyal fans
journeyed to Sheboygan last Sunday
to see the opening game in the Junior
World series being staged by Manito-
voc, winner of the State league pen
nant, and Sheboygan, title holder in
the Valley league, and were rewarded
by fine exhibition of baseball. The
game went eleven innings and we lost.
2 to /. The situation was intense
throughout, and the game was replete
with sparkling plays that kept over
two thousand spectators enthused.
With even breaks Manitowoc would
have won, l to 0. With Manitowoc
leading / to in the second inning, a
Sheboygan player pelted the pill into
the tall weeds for a home-run on a
lost ball. The hit was at best but a
two-bagger. 1t was pure chance. But
for an egregiOus error by Britt on first
base the Chairmakers would not have
scored the winning run in the eleventh.
He let a slow one go right between his
legs when two were out.
Trentman and Braun both pitched
great ball with Trentman having de-
cided edge.
The score by innings;
