Wisconsin voters prepare for next Tuesday as the state holds its primary election to choose party candidates. The piece notes extensive campaigning has saturated the Commonwealth and many have already made up minds on Governor and U S Senator races.
In 1815 Napoleon’s defeat near Brussels prompted a warning that Europe would be set back a century. The piece argues the century since has advanced in war readiness, notes Belgium’s center of conflict, questions the leaders’ choices, and warns war as sport risks dire consequences for civilization. It frames peace achievements as far greater than war’s costs.
The piece argues for business colleges as essential to practical education. It notes their self-supporting model, growing demand, and the shift away from Latin in normal schools. It cites presidents and executives with shorthand and typewriter skills, urging parental support for technical tracks alongside classical study.
The Milwaukee Free Press notes Governor McGovern faced crowd questions on his LaFollette allegiance after a Manawa speech. It reports a four-column explanation that may still seem unclear. The piece hints at later clarity when he explains why a dealer plate appeared on his campaign car.
The piece surveys wartime reporting, noting how the war press favors telegraphic dispatches over on scene writing, cites the evolution of war journalism, and contrasts older combat narration with modern censorship and distant battle fronts. It discusses McReynolds and Gregory appointments, convict labor road work, Boy Scouts in wartime, and oil industry investigations, plus urban debt rankings and congressional campaign interest.
Raymond T. Zillmer describes severe postwar scarcity despite holding $1,000 in American banker’s checks and large sums in French and Belgian silver. He notes he could not buy a pea nut or pay for a 2 cent streetcar ride, illustrating widespread economic hardship.
Bishop Schwebach of the La Grosse diocese, back from Rome two weeks ago, says the Pope he last saw before the war began tried hard to avert it and was distressed by the conflict. He believes the hostilities will greatly grieve the church leader and may affect his health. The bishop is a Luxemburg native.
