The truth is that no povelist-either an

III NIETArIoNe or 4 JUDGE.

The custom of performing penance in
public by humiliation. in church, either
through significant action. position or
confession, was not peculiar to the Pres
byterian and Puritan churches, but is as
old as the Church of Rome, says "Curi-
Gus Punishmepts of Bygone Days"
The most striking and noble figure to
suffer public penance in American history
was Judge. Samuel Sewall. He was. one
of the board of magistrates who sat in
judgment at the, famous witchcraft trials
in Salem and Boston in the first century
Of New England life. Through his perse-
cution and by his sentence many, inno-
cent lives were sacrificed. ~, -.
Judge Sewall was a steadfast Chris

In commenting on an editorial re-
Gently appearing in the River Falls
TIMES, the Milwaukee Journal has
this to say in justifying It's course on
the Cuba question.
"The Milwaukee Journal has never
"belittled" the efforts of the Cubans
to gain their freedom 1t has as
much sympathy for them as the
River Falls TINES has. But sympa-
thy must not be permitted to override
national obligations. The United
States has no cali to involve itself in
the Cuban complications. Nations
have responsibilities as we'll as in
dividuais. That principle has dicta-
ted the course OF the Journal in the
matter 1t would be recreant to all
principles OF international honor and
obligation if it pursued any other
course. In any case which concerned
the integrity of the nation the United
States could afford to go to war with
even the whole world, but it must
seek no quarrel outside of it's own
concerns"

New Richmond is having her share
of burglars. Rev. A. d. Adams house
was entered and robbed of clothing
and about $18 in money. 1t seems
that these sneak thieves are con-
Quoting a systematic business despite
the efforts of the local police authori-
ties. This roguery may be the work
of an organized band of house
breakers who are working the various
towns, or may be the work of but
two or three men who go from place
to place making life miserable for the
people generally. 1t is a disagreed BILE
thought to know that the local
authorities in the various towns now

corral them or stop their nefarious

A writer once said Society is the
true sphere of human virtue" This
may be true, but society nevertheless
has it's faults. 1t is oftimes selfish
and derelict in its duties as originally
defined. 1t exhalts in the perfection
already attained, and is satisfied to
accept selfshly the pleasure made
possible by it's prior existence, having
no thought for the future pleasure of
it's individual members. The polished
youth and middle aged profit by its
existence for time, but are cast
away without thought when the
infirmities of old age Or unfortunate
circumstances make it no longer pos
sible to keep pace with its onward
whirl. They are dropped, so to
speak, and allowed to exc out life
of obscurity and oftimes suffering
without an encouraging word, SYM
pathetic look or an apparent regret
from the members who have taken
their places. This should not be.
Society should take on a more phil O.
sophical spirit and make life more
cheerful for the less fortunate aud
especially the aged. Sometime ago
the society of River Falls gave a re-
ception to its former members, the
old people of the C ty. This was a
good act, and one fully appreciated
by them. The event was looked for
ward to with happy anticipations OF
a good time They could not say
enough in its praise. 1t was remem-
bered and talked OF long afterwards.
1t was, in fact, bright spot in their
memory that time will OF efface.
Some of those people, in fact, many
OF them known to have enjoyed the
event, will never ask the attention Of
society again, but there are Others

There is such a thing as over
officiousness on the part OF some
public officials, and that seems to be
the trouble with the present insurance
department of this state. There has
been an insurance commissioner and
deputy at Madison for great num-
Der OF years, but it was not until the
present incumbent came into office
and had to provide places for his
numerous political heelers that a
dozen clerks were needed. With a
largely increased force it was neces-
sary to find something for them to do,
and Commissioner Fricke has taken
it upon himself to investigate all the
mutual insurance companies in the
state, something his predecessors
never thought of, and something
which evidently was not contemplated
by the law. Last week a young man
from Mr. Fricke's office made his APP
pearance in River Falls, looked over
the books and records of the mutual
insurance company, presented bill
for fifteen dollars, and departed. The
information he derived could certainly
have been obtained for the cost OF d
postage stamp, and the officers and
board of the local company naturally
feel that such proceedings Oh the part
OF the state department was entirely
uncalled for and answered no earthly
purpose. The company is increasing
in it's business every week and the
officers are not hArging a cent for
their time and say this item OF fifteen
dollars is the largest item of expense
incurred by it.
