Heine could not think that bapt

Gospel which was preached in vain to
the poor Jews, is now fourishing with
the rich. TO this hatred Heine gave
poetic form in a dramatic poem, Aln1a8-
sor completed 1929. He considered it
unfit to have Jews appear as CramatiS
pers0n@, to express their pain and alb
hOrence in glowing stanzas, and he there
fore put his words into the mouth of
Moslems of Granada, who experiencing
the same hard fate inflicted on them in
diabolical wickedness, were forced to
submit to baptism, and felt gnawing
wound in their heart 1t cannot be mis-

really express the Jewish suffering:

cant the whole work of those who were
ready to labor for that aim, especially
their ogling with the governing church,
appeared to him weak, ape-like and un-
worthy. There is a want of exciting
power in Israel Corn doctors (Fried-
laender and companions) have attempted
to cure Judaism Of its fatal skin abscess,
and through their unftness and cobweb
like reason-bandages Israel must bleed
to death. May the idea of the self-con-
ceited, that the most beautiful consists
in weakness, in the loss Of all power, in
the one-sided negation, soon vanish ...
We do not possess the power any more
to wear beard, to fast, to hate and to
endure out of hatred. This is the motive
Of our reformation. Those who have
received their education and enlghten-
ment from comedians want to bestow on
Judaism new decorations and c0uliSSeS,
and the prompter should wear clergy

judaism the religion which had first in
vented human brokerage, viz. : soul
catching and proselyte making, although
Heine knew we'll that Judaism never
INDUCED in it. When he made the fol
lowing promises to agitate and work for
the social equality Of the Jews: " In
the certain hard times the German
populace will hear my voice, which will
resound in the German beer halls and
palaces :" he did not intend to do it out
of love to the Jews, but out Of soft
heamedness, strong -mindedncss and pre-
caution to preserve an antidote. But
Heine deceived himself in regard to the
nature of his feeling for j cws and Juda-
ism. TO be sure, the unbelieying age
and the philosophy Of the hierophant
fIegel who has diluted the single meas
ure of truth which he had discovered,
with a mass of falsehood, and who has
led the youths by the string Of sophistry,
have reasoned away from him the God
of Israel. But Heine believed in the
right Of retaliation Of history, in the
spirit of Providence, which reveals itself
in the same, and this was the charm
which drew him towards Judaism.
His adherence to Judaism decidedly
manifests itself in the hatred (under the
circumstances cXcusablc), against the
tormcntors and despisers Of his race.

Pounds Ponds, or the reservoir
scheme for improving the Mississippi,
has met with reverse in Congress.
The subject was up before the Com
mittee on Commerce last Friday, when
It was advocated by Mr.. Pound, Mr..
Williams and Gen. Wright, of the
United States Engineers. But about
the same time it transpired that the
River Commission, body having con-

attendant ON the return of good times
ami general prosperity, the subjects OF
new school buildings, new furniture and
additional and necessary apparatus for
the school room, fences and trees for

hope, but we may rest assured that
much will be done in the near future TO

Sheep Raislng and Politics.

Here's what one of our state senators
is doing:
Hon. Hiram Smith. of Sheboygan
Falls, has seemingly reduced dairyfno
10 perfection, or at least to an extent
that enables him to lead the country in
the prOfitabieness of the past season S
operations. Last year he confined his
attention exclusively to butter making
and his herd of fifty cows averaged him
S67 each, two dollars per COW better
than any reported in the United States,
and that by New York gentleman,
who took the London gold medal for
the best butter in the world. This adds
another and proud laurel to the wreath
already won by Sheboygan county for
her powers in dairying Mr.. Smith fur
nishes butter for The Newhall House. of
this city. - Mt,oaVkee Telegraph.
His first name by the way is Patrick.
He is a pure Vermonter. was raised
among the Green Mountain hills, and
no one would suspect that under the
mask of his appearance and plain New
England dialect, spa king with the ge-
nisl glow of New England wit, there
mrked an Irish name The origin of
it was related by him one day at the
Villas, while a few friends. including
the writer, were sitting at dinner He
stated in substance that his father
wished him to take the surname, and of
fered to give him couple of sheep. He
promptly accepted the proposition;
:" and, said the senator. . had a little
curiosity some time ago to see how
much | had made by the bargain /
had brought the sheep to Wisconsin and
ON figuring it up, found they
have netted TO me in profit over $500
in money"
But that isn't all. He gets the votes
of every Irishman in his district
who labor under the delusion that
Pat is from the could sod As goes
Patrick II. Smith, so goes the Irish

II is Bound to Come, How the History
Is Progressing.

We are pleased to know the Grant Co
History is receiving the encouragement
of the people of Grant, and will undoubt-
edly have a thorough distribution among
our business men and farmers. IT is a
good legitimate enterprise and will be
thoroughly and fairly carried out We
are satisfied after examining their history
of Dane and JoDaviess counties that
they will give us splendid record of
the men and events that compose the
history of Grant county
1t is sold only by subscription, and
publishers will only issue the number
subscribed for, SO that there will be
no chance to get History unless those
wishing it subscribe when called upon
This is all the more important in view
of the fact that il is probably the only
history we shall ever get chance to
subscribe for. Therefore il becomes
our duty to cooperate with these gen.
tlemen and make it success. Hon. j.
l.. Rewey, who stopped over Sunday in
Lancaster, speaks very highly of their
history of Iowa county where they had
the cooperation of every prominent ran
in the country.
We give the names of Jew of those
who have already subscribed in the
County, and hope to include in it soon,
everybody who takes an interest in our
county affairs. The following lists are
by nc means complete, but show the
class of men who ere aiding them.

WHAT SHALL WE READ

This question came up at the holiday
session of Wisconsin Teachers, Associ-
alton and, after some discussion COM
mite was appointed to present course
in literature suitable for the average
teacher to carry through.
After some consultation report was
presented which embraced history, bio
graphy, poetry, and the classes no
volume of which was to cost more than
twenty-five cents. The suggestion was
made, though not favorably received,
that county Superintendent should
report each teachers progress in this
course upon his certificate.
The fact that teachers do not read
enough was made lamentably clear. and
it is plain to see that educational men
are seeking remedy.
Let us first inquire, do we as teachers
read what we have? OF course we see
the county paper! What does it con-
tain of value to the teacher /? OF the
locals probably one or two pertains to
an event near home.
The personals are CLEANED quickly
over in similar manner. The cores
pendent columns are next turned to and
scanned for something or somebody
with whom we are familiar. after which
the poetry (if shor) may be read, when
we consider the paper finished.
Let us not be content with this. Here
is an article on the Legislature Is it
not the teachers duty to be we'll informed
concerning state affairs Whose chill
dren will not be interested by telling
them what our legislators are doing ?
Coming nearer home, do we not learn
in our county papers who are our
County officers ? May not the boys in
our country schools be induced to read
about them to learn who they are, what
they have to do, what their salaries are.
and why taxes are paid
Read educational journals in similar
way, extract that Which you can utilize,
use it, and not : district in the broad
land will condemn our liberal education.

The Pleasant Impressions 10 Made lTp-
on the Iowa HumOrist.
In a recent letter from Hartford, Ct,
to the Burlington Hawkeye, Mr.. r. J.
Burdette writes
1.-The pleasantest view l had of the
city was from the coy freside in that
wonderful home of Mr.. S. L. Clemens,
Who was my host during my stay in
Hartford. am not a man addicted to
cold weather / am not sufficiently

frost and keep it up until the follow
ing April. And so when / can sit down
before bright wood fire, and burn up
cigars while somebody enlcrtains me, /

= think | have never been in a home
more beautifully home-like than this
palace of the king of humorists. The
surroundings of the house are beautiful,
and its quaint architecture, broad East
Indian porticos. the Greek patterns in
mosaic in the dark-red brick walls at
tract and charm the attention and taste
of the passer-by, for the home, inside
and out, is the perfection of exquisite
taste and harmony. But with all its
architectural beauty and originality, the
elegance of its interior finish and dec
orations, the greatest charm about the
house is the atmosphere of .homelike-
ness that perva les it. Charmingly as he
can entertain thousands of people at
time from the platform, Mr.. Clemens
is even more perfect entertainer in
his home. The brightest and best sides
of his nature shine out ut his tireside.
The humor and drollery that sparkle in
his conversation is as utterly unaffected
and natural as sunlight. Indeed. dom t
believe he knows or thinks that most of
his talk before the sparkling fire, up in
the pleasant retirement of his billiard
room study, is marketable merchandise
worth so much a page to the publisher,
but it is. And it is not all drollery and
humor He is so earnest that his earn
estneSs charms YOU fully as much as his
brighter flashes, and once in while
there is in his voice an infection of
wonderful pathos, SO touched with mel
ancholy, that you look into the kind,
earnest eyes TO see what thought has
touched his voice. And he has a heart
as big as his body believe there does
not live man more thoroughly I'M
selfish and self-forgctful. Two little
girls and a boy baby, frightened, good
tempered, and with full head of hair
as brown as his fathers, assist Mrs.
Clemens to fill the heart of the reigning
humorist, and they do it most complete
". Personally, Mr.. Clemens is, per-
haps, little above the medium height
of good symmetrical physique, brown
hair, scarcely touched with gray. that
curls over high, white forehead friend
ship in his eyes, hearty cordiality in the
grasp of a well-shaped white hand,
strong enough and heavy enough to be
a manly hand his aye is 30 something.
and he looks 80; in the evening, after
the lamps are lighted his face has
wonderfully boyish look, and he loves
good cigar even better than Grant does. .
