VOLUME 63 THE LABOR MEETING The state Federation of Labor con vention kept busy all last week at the Opera house. The big feature was a massmeeting Thursday evening, at which J. J. Handley, secretary-treas urer of the state Federation gave a short talk on the purposes and benefits of labor organizations. The principal speaker was Paul Hybrecht, general or ganizer of the International Machin ists’ union. The major portion of his address was on the railroad question. He is a fluent peaker and gave a talk easy to listen to. He is a radical and he talked Socialism all during the ad dress without using that word. The convention adopted a number of resolutions including one for the free ing of “political prisoners,” modifica tion of the Volstead act for beer and wine, opposing daylight saving; de manding the licensing of steamfitters; for advance information on measures to he considered at conventions; de manding abolishment of war by remov ing competitive business; requesting all union men to buy only union made cigars, cigarettes and tobacco. A debate developed over the use of the union label that brought ou a variety of opinions. A resolution censuring Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who is anathema .with the Socialists who were very evi loi’.ntly in control of the convention, crued to have many supporters, but it was sidetracked in favor of a substi tute that merely expressed disapproval of some of the actions of the recent Gompers convention at Denver. The convention also went on record in favor of unemployment insurance. It also sent greetings and promises of support to four labor leaders in the Langlade county Jail for violating injunctional orders. There was a big banquet at the con vention hall Wednesday evening at which the speakers were Edward Reim ers of the local committee. Mayor Georgenson, Henry Old, organizer, John J. Kelley, president of the local hoard of education, Alderman Gilbert Thompson. There were also automobile sight seeing trips about the city and to Two Rivers, The big news of the convention was the sentiment in favor of new politi cal party. The plan caused a lot of heated debating. Many of the avowed Socialists think that the present Social ist party is not the proper vehicle for political expression. The final vote to put the convention on record favored a new party, 68 to 26. The plank is to invite in all non-Socialist “progressive” or “literal" groups including farmers. Oshkosh gets the next meeting of the convention. The principal officers were reelected. The labor men pronounced the con vention a successful meeting. THE MALT HOUSE ASSESSMENT The Board of Review met again Tuesday after a rceess, wound up its business and adjourned sine die. The principal business was a decision on the application of the Cereal Products com pany for a reduction of the assessment on its properties fixed hy the assessor at |822,290. The decision was to stand pat and let the company try it out in the courts if it is so disposed. The as sessment was left as made. The prop erties are the hig plant of the former William Rahr Sons company, maltsters and brewers and the arugment is that prohibition has greatly depreciated the values of the properties. The hearing occupied several days and there was considerable expert testimony on val ues. The decision finds and recites that the plant has operated continuously; that it is worth about $1,900,000; that if would cost $2,250,000 to reproduce it; that the company paid $1,200 in come taxes last year; that there was $1,029,000 insurance on the plant Jan uary 1, 1921 and concludes that the assessment of $822,260 is fair. A similar decision made by the 1920 hoard is now pending in circuit court and it is probable that this one will also land there. ununno yn I nnn lieu ituiiuno lULuuni. sail Chief of Police Anton Trocblell has been named a member of the executive committee of tbe State Association of Police Chiefs by President McCarty of Kaukauna. Mr. Ben A.

POSTMASTERSHIP STILL STEWING The second “examination” of candi dates for postmaster at Manitowoc was held last week. To call this an “exam ination” is a gross misuse of the word as ordinarily understood. The candi date fills out a questionaire and has a pleasant chat later with an inspector for a few minutes. There was no sug gestion of any reason why The first “examination” was not sufficient. The former twenty or more candidates were all asked to reapply although many of them had been told that they could not qualify for lack of experience in office management or some other reason. Only six took the matter seriously enough to unravel the red tape a sec ond time and among these are prob ably several who have some chances of getting the appointment for political reasons. No one concerned pays any attention to any other feature of it. A Democrat has as much chance of get ting the appointment as a calf has of surviving in Mr. Armour’s establish ment, notwithstanding that under the operation of the executive order under the former Democratic administration nearly all Republicans were appointed in Wisconsin. If the “re-examination” was for the purpose of letting in a prominent La Follette politician for a chance at it, which is likely the fact, it is a cumbrous, foolish system; a mere shadow of a merit system that deceives no one. The candidates “examined” this time were Acting Postmaster Beh ringer, W. F. Pflueger, H. G. Kress, Capt. Edw, Schmidt, A. J. Anton, An thony ,1. Clark and Simon Wehrwein. People claiming to know say it lies be tween Behringer, Pflueger, Kress and Wehrwein, and that Wehrwein will not get it if Senator Lenroot can prevent it and he probably can. GROELLE IN BIG CASE Milwaukee papers last week reported that Attorney F. F. Grolle, formerly of this city, is attorney for a Milwaukee woman who has “the papers” to prove that she is entitled to the estate of Stephen Girard who died in Philadel phia some seventy years ago. Unfor tunately for the lady there are two other heirs with whom she must divide the twenty millions she is to acquire by this process; or was it twenty billions? Mr. Groelle's cliche. recently disco* ered “the papers” that prove her title and the newspapers report that he left for Philadelphia. It is not expected that the distribution of the millions or billions, whichever it is, will take place this week. BED ARROW CLUB REUNION In 184 cities and towns of the United States there are being organized "(ted Arrow Clubs” comprising the greater part of the membership of the famous 32d Division of the World War. This city has one of tl em, The Red Arrow ( lob of Marfltowoc begins with at least ‘M charter memb ers. All are delegates to the Nation al Peace Reunion and Jul'lee of that aroous outfit to be held in Detroit Mich , Aug. 28, 29, and 30. An outdoor dance and fete, someth ng on the order of the Mardi Gras, In the two blocks of Washington Boul evard between Grand Circus Park and Grand River avenue in "The Fourth City" will be the most spectacular feature of a spectacular national re union. Ten thousand former soldiers who wore Red Arrows of cloth On the left shoulder in the greatest battle of his tory are expected to take part in this national peace festivity in the same uniforms that mopped up mud in the Argonne. For the club here, the following members have been filed at division headquarters to date: Herbert Mahnke, Walter D. Hough ton, Ben Mrotek, Geo. O. Rouril, Her man O. Buts, John West, Edward Nuttz, Raymond Schmitz, Allen Keune, Harold Peterson, Norman Berkadal, Archie Fischer, John Klink ner, Frank J. Schrmupf, Ira P. Louns burly, Louis Coolway, W. A George son, William A. Georgeson, Newlin U. Allan, Wenzel Kolar, Weather and Crop Conditions in Wi3. Temperatures are still above normal, but rain fell during the week in all parts of the state. In many localities the rains were heavy and of marked benefit to crops. Corn is making good to excellent progress, but needs rain badly in tbe south. Early potatoes suf fered badly from lack of rain, but tbe late planted are doing better. Harvest ing of grain and bay is about completed and threshing well along. Tbe second crop of alfalfa has been cut and tbe yield was fair. Pastures are very poor except in scattered localities where the ruin was heavy. Fruit has made poor progress except in tbe northwest. Late cherries are plentiful and picking is in progress. Carnberries are attacked by worms in many localities and their con dition below normal. Tobacco is mak ing satisfactory progress and tbe early planted is in bloom. Truck is doing fairly well, but more rain is needed in most places. W. P. STEWART, Meteorologist. OBITUARY Mrs. John Stiner died at her home Marshall street Sunday. She bad been in poor health for two years Mrs. Stiner, nee Schindler, was a native of this city having been born April 88, 1876. She is survived by her husband and one son, aged 6, and by two brothers and three sisters, all re siding here. Tbev are Joseph and Ed Schindler, Mrs. Henry Scholten, Mrs. Walter lleingarten and Miss Theresa Schindler. The funeral was held Wednesday morning from St. Boniface church. Interment was in Calvary cemetery. Miss Emma Sweiker, aged 84 years, died Sunday at the Maple Crest sani tarium. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wenzel Sweiker 626 North 4th St. She is survived by her parents and 4 brothers: Edward, Arthur, Paul and Stanley. <A sister, Miss Olive, died three years ago. The funeral was held Tuesday morning from the Sacred Heart church. Miss Louisa Christenson, daughter, and only child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Christenson, died Tuesday night, she was 18 years of age. She had been in poor health for about a year. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon from the home on Clark s reel. Mins Sarah Johns died at the county hospital last Sunday evening. She was horn at Newport, Wales, 78 years ago and came to this county with her par ents when a child and lived here ever since. She is survived by two sisters, Elisabeth Robinson of Pewaukce, Ruth Spaulshury of Sturgeon Ray, and a brother, William Johns of Green Ray. The funeral was held Wednesday after noon with interment at Evergreen. The life of Miss Johns is worthy the pen of a Ral/.ac or Maupasant. When a young woman a disease left her disfigured, hopelessly crippled and stone deaf. For over fifty years she bore up under these afflictions with an almost incredible Christian fortitude and for many years earned her own living and paid her own way. Her faith was no veneer. She loved her bible and was a profound stu dent of it. Those who knew her best respected and admired her despite the eccentricities natural to her condition. Wh it natun C'-uld staid no nurr in her age and her reason sagged under the strain a few friends learned from her irrational talk the romance of her early life, the tragic fact that she had been waiting all these long years for the return of a young man, sleeping on a southern battlefield over a half cen tury; waiting and actually expecting him but in terror that her physical con dition would alter his feeling toward her. If the account is balanced on the other side this woman is at last happy. * • TRUCK KILLS BOY A deplorable accident which snorted out the life of a six year old boy, oc curred Friday afternoon at about 1:30 o’clock on the highway a few miles west of Kiel. George Herzog of St. Anna, who is proprietor of the former Wendel Rurg nlace in that village, came to Kiel on that day with his motor truck, accom panied by his little son George Allen, to get a load of lumber from the IJ. Laun Cos. and some freight from the local depot. On the way home, a few miles from Kiel, the machine, which was quite heavily loaded, stalled while going up a hill. Mr. Herzog asked two men passing in an auto, to help push the truck up the hill, his little sun having jumped out and being Dear the machine, saying he also wanted to assist. While the men helped gel the truck up the hill the boy in some manner got under the machine and was run over, a wheel |>assiog over his body, crushing out his young life almost instantly. The body was pick ed up and immediately brought to Kiel to the office of Dr. Knauf, who pro nounced life extinct. The father of the dead boy became almost hysterical after the accident, while the mother was in a critical condition as a result of the shuck upon being informed of her loved one's sudden and tragic death. Resides bis grief-stricken parents he leaves one sister, Althea. --Kiel Tri-County Record.

MANITOWOC, WIS„ THURSDAY. JULY 28,1921. ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES FIFTY YEARS AGO Hon. Jos. Vilas and C. C. Baines left this morning for the South. Something to Be Remembered. — That the first sound of a locomotive whistle in Manitowoc was on Saturday, July 22, 1871. The three-masted schooner built by Mr. Jaspar Hanson of this city, for Mr. Chas. Lingren, of Chicago, will be launched from the shipyard at the foot of Chicago street next Saturday. She is a cannier of 28,000 bushels grain capacity, and is a splendid looking craft, reflecting much credit on her builder. Sou]) Factory. -We were down to A. I). Kittell it Co’s soup factory last Saturday, with others, and saw what we thought to he, a very nice white boiling of soap, in the kettle, although we dared not go very near for fear of being utilized immediately in their business (as we are nearly a clear case of fat ourself). We were shown soap of their own manufacture, which we think as good if not better, than any we have previously seen for sale here; they claimed that their boiling then in the kettle, was even better than that; which we took for granted rather than risk a personal inspection. The season for small fruits for can ning, preserving and jelling is drawing to a close. We do not remember a season more bountiful, either in quan tity or quality than this. In the straw berry line we must say that Dr. A. J. Patchen brought us last week a howl of the largest, sweetest and best looking strawberries that we ever saw. They were of the Great Agriculturist -and Jucunda varieties and the last of the season. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO M. H. McMahon, principal of (lie Kewaunee High school, was in the city on luesday of (his week. He was on his way to Meeine to visit his old home. Iver Knudson of this city died on Tuesday morning from a stroke of had on (hi FriilSy preced ing. He was on his way to the drug store when lie received the shock. He was taken home but died without re covering consciousness. He was horn in Valders, Norway, April 23, 1821 and came to this country in 1851, settling in Manitowoc, which 4>lace he made ids home continuously until the time of his depth, lie was a quiet, unobtrusive man who did his duty well and without ostentation. 11 is funeral takes place this afternoon. Dr. Louis Kohlenberg of the state university and Miss Lillian Heald of Madison were married at Madison on Tuesday. Dr. Kohlenberg is a former Two Rivers hoy and has pushed fur ther ahead in the educational line than any other Manitowoc county boy. He attained the rank of Doctor at the age of 2(1, something very rare. His bride was one of the assistant principals of the North Side High school. Married, at the residence of the bride’s parents, South Nineteenth street, Wednesday, duly 22, IH!)(i, Wm. Mulligan and Mary Thompson, both of Manitowoc, Rev. O. I’. Christian offi ciating. Martin I’etska of Franklin had the lingers of one of his hands cut oil' hy a self hinder on Monday last, lie had it caught in the gearing. John Schueltc attended the electrical convention at Menominee lust week, lie took six pretty girls with him and there was no man in Menominee more popu lar, not on his account but because of the company he had, John thought the attentions he received were solely on his own account. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Waldo are visit ing friends in the city this week. Mr. Waldo has reached an enviable position in his profession of civil engineer. A plate glass front is lo he put in the Wood building in which was Krnst Wagner's hardware store, Plate glass fronts arc getting to he just the thing in Manitowoc. Flora Annuals of (his city died on Wednesday of last week of consump tion of the longs. She was HI) years of age. Marriage Licenses The following marriage licenses have been issued hy the county clerk the last week. Adolph Zimmerman ol Howard Grove and Amelia Het/.el of Cleveland; Stephen Polllka of Franklin and Anna Kliment of Prague, Bohemia; Harvey Hourgerle of Detroit and Ms.-011, Sprang of Manitowoc; William Krollch of Keedsvilie and Agnes Kocian of Mllladore, Wig; lajuls Uochelcau and Anna Koczrowskl, both of Two lilvera; George Kudeck and (da Keistel, both of Manitowoc. EDUCATIONAL. (Hy Lillian L. Chlodpkk) There is no national holiday, not even Independence Day. That is, Congress has not made any day a holiday for the entire country. Any day designated by the President becomes a legal holiday only in those states that provide for it hy law. In Wisconsin the legal holidays for schools are the following: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christ mas Day. Teachers should take note of the fact that Washington’s Birthday, Arbor Day, and General Election Day are not legal holidays for schools. ALIEN CONTROL OF THE SCHOOLS One cannot doubt that there is great need of teaching citizenship in our schools when he secs how people with alien interests are endeavoring to gain control of them. The situation here in Wisconsin is as serious as it is in any section of the country. As evidence of this mention may be made of an at tempt of the Milwaukee Herold to se cure a board of education which would he sympathetic to, or at least tolerant of, alienism in the schools. At the recent school-board election in Milwau kee, the Herold sent out a question naire to candidates, the purpose of which was apparently to reveal to citi zens of Milwaukee which candidates would be sympathetic toward a policy that would countenance alien sentiment in the schools and that would not stress American life and institutions. It has come to the attention of the writer that in other communities in Wisconsin, members of boards of edu cation have attempted to introduce in struction in foreign languages to the detriment of instruction in English. These persons have complained about topics in literature, in history, and in other subjects which praised American life and institutions in comparison with the life and institutions of certain for eign countries. In other ways these members of hoards of education have shown that they are not thinking about America so much as they are thinking about the countries from which they came. They do not understand our political ideals and our government ns well as they understand the ideals and governments of foreign nations. Such a situation requires heroic treatment. We cannot relax in our efforts to tench American life, institutions, and govern ment so long as there are any among ns who are trying to use the schools to weaken the affection and loyalty of our pupils for the American government. We cannot be too much on the alert to prevent alien influences from trying to get control of the schools through an alien board of education. The term alien is used to denote any person who, while living in this country and laking advantage of its freedom to live his life as he chooses, is at the same time dis loyal to our institutions and our gov ernment, and who tries to influence the young so that they will think heifer of foreign institutions than they do of those of our own land. Wisconsin Journal of Education. The many friends of W. E. Larson, formerly county superintendent of schools of this county and who for many years was connected with the 'State Department, and this year has been principal of the county training school at Algoma, will regret to learn that, he has been compelled to resign his position and seek quiet and rest at home, Supt. E. J. Young of Grant County succeeds Mr. Larson ns princi pal of the training school. TWO DICE GAME TABOO A policeman some weeks ago was at tracted by a group of young men on the sidewalk in front of a hotel near the Northwestern depot who were ap parently concentrated on some impor tant happening. (le strolled over and said “Nothing doing in the African gidf line in this town, hoys. Put away the hones." They did so, The police heard that the gentle tip was not being taken seriously and one evening last week Chief Trochlell walked over to see about it. Three men were on their knees on the sidewalk and the gallop ing ivories cli •ked merrily while urgent entreaties to “Big Dick” and “Little Jo" to kindly favor the devotee of the great Afro-American game were heard. The chief threw a seven and gathered in pot and players. Thaddeus Black (perfectly appropriate for a crap game), John Schmidt and Charles Mu nising each paid the. clerk $10.46 in municipal court the next morning. it certainly requires some nerve to indulge in a regular crap game on a street sidewalk, especially after being given a kindly warning. The United Stales Civil Service Commission announces a clerk-carrier examination for the local olllce to he held Ir, this city on August -’O, Iwiil. For further particulars and application blanks Inquire at local Foal Olllce of Josephine Sleker, Local Secretary. FALL KILLS FARMER A deplorable accident occurred last lliursday when Fred Kberlmrdt was killed ul his farm on the Calumet road between the city and Brown’s Corners. Mr. Kberlmrdt was attempting to ad just a hay fork that was not operating right and it suddenly started and threw him to the ground. He struck on his head, fractured Ids skull and probably received other Injuries. Physicians could do nothing and he never regained consciousness, dying two or three hours biter. Mr. Eherhardt was horn in the town of Centerville 56 years ago and settled on the farm near the city over thirty years ago. He is survived by a wife and three children, Mrs. Edwin Pleuss of this city and Herbert and Reinhold on the farm, also by a brother John, a neighbor, and three sisters, Mrs. Louis Haether and Agnes and Anna Eher hardt all of this city. The funeral was held Sunday after noon from the home and the German Lutheran church with interment at Evergreen. Rev. Karl Machmillrr of ficiated. COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFERED At meeting of the recently organ* i/.ed local brunch of the Social Welfare organization held at the city hull last week E. C. Vondenberg representing the National Community Service, ad dressed the meeting and asked for a three months’ trial demonstration of the work of his organization, liis or ganization is an outgrowth of the war time community camp work. No ac tion was taken until the nature and re sults of the work in other communities can be ascertained. If the offer is ac cepted expert community workers (no double meaning intended) would come here to study “conditions and plan with the local association with a view to centralizing, community effort, se cure co-operation and establish the work on a permanent, successful basis, Tlie three lines of endeavor recognized in the work of the national community service are education, social and physi cal welfare, embracing recreation, play ground and other features.” The whole thing is a bit vague to those who have not been at the meet ings, possibly even to those who have been there. The reports soy that the plan “contemplates support of the movement by united organization and popular subscription.” These words have a familiar sound and are remin iscent of the numerous drives of a few years ago. We are not in possession of information Justifying passing judg ment on this “community service” but our guess now is that some more tan gible benefits will have to appear be fore that subscription becomes very “popular.” REAL ESTATE REPORT I.ist of real t*s(ate suits of Manito woc county for wick ending .(uly 23, 1921, furnished by Manitowoc County Abstract company: Clifford King to Otto Mueller, to acres in section 111, town of Coopers town.

NUMBER 6 BASE BALL SUNDAY’S RESULTS Red Sox, 20 j Juneau, 5. Sheboygan, 2; Green Hay, 1. Manitowoc, 5; Two Rivers, 1. TEAM STANDINGS W. L. Pet. Red Sox o 0 1 000 Manitowoc 1 i .500 Two Rivers 1 l .600 Juneau 1 l .800 Sheboygan 1 I .800 Green Bay 0 2 .000 Lange’s apparently unbeatable Red Sox kept up their winning ways and plastered a win over Juneau by the Milwaukee margin of 20 to 6 at Mil waukee Sunday. Joe Reik, pitching for Juneau, was the chief victim and was kepi at work facing the barrage for the entire game in which no less than 25 safe hits were rung up by the Sox. Her zog got five, including two doubles, and Eddie Sturnpf, the Sox manager, clout ed out four, including a triple. Dodge was somewhat less effective than usual, but he gave only six hits and his mates’ terrific slugging made the game easy for him after the first frame, in which Juneau pushed across three runs and looked, for the moment, like a real con tender. I’p at Green Bay, the home team showed a lot of real baseball, fielding and hitting as hard as did Sheboygan. The chairmakers jumped on Braun’s slants in the last two innings hut their rally was checked by sharp fielding and one run was all they could count. The winners made theirs at the start. Wan geman’s homer in the first frame push ing a man across ahead of him. Braun and Fox both piched good hall. Loose fielding by Two Rivers gave Manitowoc a hall game, Sunday, at Two Rivers, in which the other chief factor of victory was Dick Crutcher’s effective hurling. He allowed but six well scattered hits and fanned six bat ters. Manitowoc made 12 hits. The Uuininum Goods team defeated New Holstein at that village Sunday, 1 to 2. II was a pitchers’ duel with Liehenow for the Goods team, having a decided edge. '1 he team feels that they are again in the running for the county championship. Egan’s Colts won a one sided victory over Newton Sunday, I t to 2, with \Tlllk pitching regular baseball. He al lowed hut five hits and fanned thirteen hatters. The Badgers had an easy time of it at Marihel Sunday, the final result be ing 26 lo :i in their favor. Thorison on Ihc mound for the Badgers allowed hut four hits and had fourteen strike outs, while the Badgers hit safely twenty-one times off the' delivery of Chezek and Qvitek. Jack Markham knocked two circuit hits. In contrast to the farce at Marihel there was a regular baseball game on a local lot when the Cherniak All-Stars heat the Grimms Aggies (i to 5. The Grimms hoys led up to the eighth when a sleal home by Hubbard tied the score. In the ninth with the score tied and two out Panosh singled, stole around to third and came on a hit, Panosh al lowed hut three hits. The Rccd-.villc team won its.-elghth victory when it led Brilliim'Tnlo camp l ist Sunday siyrc yt 7 to 1. The Keedsville bo/s hit ScKroeder safely hut seven tlmesrhul bunched them and pushed 1 hejn out w hen they ere need cd I,a I'.ytimc, pitching for Reeds villc, had fourteen strike outs to his credit. I NEW CONCEPTIONS OFJJSfKTT There are reports of an organiza lion of saloon men of Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties to tight in the courts against the provisions of the new stale prohibition law that require the removal of bars and window screens. The word has gone about, ap parently uncontradicted, that the bars must come out by Aug. 30. A reading of the text of the law reveals that it prohibits standing bars at which drinks “are consumed.” We arc not trained in the Interpretation of statutes but if laws mean what they say this does not require the remov ai of bars at which no drinks are consumer'. If the proprietor makes them go ovu and sit down there is nothing in the new law requiring the removal of the bar. We have only a very mild interest in the subject except that we resent as an American citizen the claims of a horde of “reformers” to the rigid to add to and interpret stat utes to suit themselves. The laws are drastic enough without submitting to unauthorized claims of authority to make them more so. However, in these glorious moonshine days hard won safeguards to the people’s liberties that have the sanction of ages are brushed aside as of no moment or consequence, and when the highest tribunal in the land can construe “concurrent jurisdic tion" hv federal and state authorities to mean federal domination over the state, and that without venturing to give any reasons for the astounding conclusion, almost anything cun hap pen. The moralistic rampage seems to have cut us adrift from all moorings and a docile people take it all and won der what the outcome will be.
