KREUTZER. FOR GOVERNOR.

Senator Kreutzer, of Marathon county, has
been called by heads Of the county boards in
forty counties in the state to become candi-
date for governor. The call indicates that
these hard-headed fellows many of them men
from the farms in Wisconsin, appreciate the
fact that something should be done to get Wis
consin out of the old rut of political factional-
ism and get it back on the plane of common
sense government Anyone who reads the call
sent to Senator Kreutzer will be convinced that
it is the call of intelligent men who are tired
of having the business of the state made
political football.
That call suggests reduced taxation and in
the next paragraph suggests the way to get
it-by reducing the horde of state employees
who are eating up the money of the people.
There is no suggestion of partisan politics in
the call 1t is call to all the people of the
state who believe in business being enthroned
at Madison. .s
Senator Kreutzer is entitled to consideration
as candidate for governor. He has rendered
much public service to the state and it has been
rendered in an intelligent manner If he is to
lead a party which believes in good common
sense and business rather than politics in state
government he must have the support of all
the people who believe in this thing
He can never win with half support of di-
vided element in Wisconsin, If he responds
to this CALI and runs as candidate for COVER
nor he must have united support of the people
who would throw off the yoke of actional gov
eminent and substitute for it the privilege of
intelligent government. If his candidacy
is to be stunted by the personal ambitions of
every Tom, Dick and Harry he my just as well
answer NO to the call.

GIVE THEM PLENTY TO DO.

Practice makes perfect and if the new Civic
Council. which has just completed it's organlza-
ton is to have it's fullest value in advancing the
interests of Kenosha, it must keep busy. 1t
must start now and keep going if it desires
to be real institution in Kenosha and get real
results.
It's an organization that Kenosha has need
ed, and the lack of such an organization has
been seriously felt. 1t should bring co-ordl-
nation of public interest which will be a great
power in getting things for Kenosha and IN
keeping the red blood of progress flowing in
the veins of Kenosa.
There should no hesitancy in its getting
down to actual and effective work. There is
great deal of work for such an organization to
do and lot of this work should be done with
as little delay as possible.
First of all it should sponsor the movement
to get this new postoffice for Kenosha. 1t
should get behind this bill which has been in
PRODUCED into the lower house Of Congress by
Mr.. Cooper and see to it that SO far as home
town support is concerned this bill has every
possible chance of early passage.
The organization should get behind some
concrete and workable plan to build hotel in
Kenosha and should go at the problem with the
idea that it is going to see it through. Satur-
day night it was necessary to keep a jury in
elaboration all through the night because there
was no place in thecty where the members Of
the jury could be put to bed. This is wonder
full condition of affairs for the third city in
Wisconsin. There is no doubt but that lot
of people in Kenosha want to help build a hotel
but they want some civic organization behind
it to give the assurance that the plans will be
carried out This organization may well make
this plan of the first of the real things that
organization may practice on and if it brings
it does to justify its existence in the city
These are only two of the things that this
certain that it will have won place in the city
either Of them to a successful conclusion it is
which will give to it the whole-hearted and in
telligent support of everyone interested in the
advancement of Kenosha. To make this most
powerful organization the only thing that is
necessary is for it to show it's willingness and
it's ability to serve.

Fables On Health

When Johnny came home from school
jingling a pocketful of marbles, Mrs.
Mann decided it was %time to run to
the cupboard and inspect the molasses
supply,
In the family scrapbook she knew
She would find the IN GLASSES and sui
phur'' recipe handed down from
grandmas time as part of the spring
program.
While the seemingly simple RENE
dies of grandma's day frequently bad
considaberle merit, modern methods
dictate different applications at times.
The old formula of mixing up a
batch of molasses and sulphur and
stuffing it down the youngsters throat
has undergone "a change.
Molasses is recognized as fine,
nourishing food and appears too in
frequently upon the family board. 1T
has laxative value that is worth con-
sederation and it can be given to the
children without sulphur.
1t is advisable to give it separately
from the sulphur, when the latter is
used, and may me served spread on
bread or buns. 1t is also recommended
that the sulphur be served with some
other food, and then not in too large
quantities.
But parents who wait until spring
to get their children acquainted with
molasses make mistake.
Time brings improvements. Con-
editions of life have changed since
grandma's time.

You say your taxes are too high,
But do you vote?
About extravaganza you sigh,
But do you vote?
How long, you wal, must we endure =
This state of things which keep us poor!
How long, you wall, must we endure
But do you vote?
The lights are bad, the streets mess;
But do you vote?
Your indignation you express,
But do you vote?
You say the bosses rule the show,
That graft is reaching high and low,
And doubtless all you say is so,
But-do you vote?
You growl at rotten politics,
But do you vote?
You howl at bosses and their tricks,
But do you vote?

HOU I Made
My Millions
By E. L. DoHENY.

To be Doheny is to be used to
trouble. ..aass a
1t has been that way for genera
tions. My grandfather, Michael Do
heny, was embroiled in the Irish, Rev
olution of '48. My father, Patrick Do
heny, became a political refugee.
And now find myself facing trou-
BILE of another kind. But l shall get
out of it Just as honorably as did they.
My dad was only 16 when he was
forced to flee. He went to Canada and
became seal fisher in BaffinIs Bay.
1t was arduous work, by my father
stuck to it for ten years.
After his marriage to a st. Johns
school teacher, he went to Wisconsin.
He lost an eye, suffered other i'm
iuries, and had to settle down to
peaceful gardening.
was born in 1856 at Fond du Lac,
saw-mill town in those days. There
were seven children in the family, but
there is only one left now.
When 1 heard that my brother, a
year and half my senior, was to go
to school, 1 wanted to go, too. At
first there was some objection, but then
my father said / could learn to talk
there-if nothing else-7and, at any
rate, l would be out of the way at
home.
So they let me go, although ] was
only three years and four months old.
cred Squirrel" the teacher called
me, for l was little shaver with a
sorel top, and kept hopping around
most of the, time.
The teachers said I was POLITICALLY
inclined, had good memory, was good
at mathematics, but poor at chemis-
try-although knowledge of the last
became of the greatest Importance in
my later work. III
After school hours / always found
something to do. My dad saw to
that.
/ got a job in saw mill during the
summer vacation when | was 10. My
special work was running knot-saw,
for which service l got 65 cents a day.
and a scar on my right hand. Only
bit of luck prevented me from losing
several fingers.
l surely was proud of my injury. 1t
put me in the class with the other
boys of the town who had been hurt in
their work-and there were many of
them.
The next summer one of the first
sugar beet factories in America was
opened at Fond du Lac. got a job in
the fields. The man in charge was like
a real -overseer, for he drove us boys
like so many slaves. Down the long
rows of beets me went, so or 60 in
line, working our hoes wedding. We
had to work quickly; or else the lads
behind would close in and prod us
with their hoes.
For all this each of US received so
cents a day. n
But life was too pleasant to let a
hard-driving overseer spoil it. We
ming, fishing, getting into mischief.
When we had fence to paint, we in
variably connived to make the other
fellow do it.
Hardly month went by during the
summer months without some boy
drowning. The water was deep, and
the floating logs made it treacherous.
But that made the sport more alluring.
Louis Pellitier was my side-kick in
those days. don't know what hap
pened to a,hiI. later, for soon came
parting of The ways.
