Great Wars From Trifles.

Great wars, pregnant with bloodshed
and all the horrors accruing thereto,
have very often been the outcome of
trif1ing incidents which might, had they
been treated properly, have been
smoothed over and the slaughter avert
ed. More often was this the case in
earlier times than 1t is now. Every
one knows that William the COnQuerOr
lost his life in France through his
horse treading on redhOt cinder
while he was experimenting the burn
ing of Nantes, but few people know
the fact which gave rise to the cam
paign that cost William his life.
During the latter part of his reign
he became abnormally stout and con-
sequently the laughingstock of not
only his subjects, but his neighbors
across the water One day his con-
temporary, Philip of France, compared
him to a fillet of veal on casters and
suggested that he should be exhibited
at prize monarch show. This so en-
ragged William that he straightway
made war upon his ridiculer, and the
loss of thousands of lives was the re-
sult.-London Tit-Bits.

Gestures Part of Talk,

There is a man who from a very
early age has lived in countries where
Spanish is the almost universal tongue.
From force of this training he speaks
Spanish perfectly. He has not the
slightest trace of an English accent,
and persons who do not know that he
is of American parentage are willing
to believe he is Spaniard, merely
from hearing him talk. He is so per-
fectly bilingual that it shows even in
his gestures. When talking with Eng
lish speaking persons he sits quietly
and does his conversing with his mouth
alone. Only in case Of making point
most emphatically does he use a ges-
ture But the moment he drops into
Spanish his every word is accompa-
MED by a movement of the hands or
arms. 1t is interesting to watch the
change from the English to the Span
ish side of him, because it comes so
suddenly. He really can't speak Span
ish without gesturing.-New York Sun.

Hicks Story.

1t was in 1917 the Hicks first made
county name as Il witty raconteur.
In that year Sir Samuel Spry. who had
been member for Bodmin since the
great reform bill, lost his seat and in
a petulant mood took legal proceedings
against Hicks on the ground that he
had abused his official position to in
1uence voters at the poll. In the
course of the trial Hicks was called
upon to state what he had to say in
his defense. In the course of his state
ment he asked leave of the court to
illustrate his position by story. His
request being assented TO, he related
how a few days previously he had
been to see lad whom he knew well
who was laid up from fall from a
vicious donkey, which had kicked out
all his front teeth. The lad, said
Hicks, had taken the matter in the
most kindly way and had said to him,
+" 'Tisn't the fall, Mr. Hicks, and 'tisn't
the vally of the teeth what annoys
me, but it's the nashty, CHASTITY,
wishous disposition of the jackass."
Sir Samuel Spry sprang up in the
well of the court in a fury and ex-
claimed, HE has called me jack

Some SIanq Words.

A remarkable fact is that many slang
words have a classical origin. For
example, the word mill" vulgarism
for a fight, is traceable to the Greek
word ''hamilla,'' which means COM
bat
$ ''Uncle," the affectionate term for a
pawnbroker, is derived from the Latin
'uncus," hook on which the article
pledged was hung.
To go before ''the beak' is a distinct
reference to the old Roman custom Of

which platform came to be called the

senate has determined that the Mari
nette statesman shall be investigated
anyway To that end the upper house
Friday adopted resolution providing
for the continuation of the Stephen
son investigation by a committee of
three from the senate.
Immediately preceding the adoption
Of the resolution it was discovered
that Lieutenant Governor Strange
would appoint the present senate mem
bers of the existing joint investiga-
tion ommittee-Senators S. M. Marsh,
of Neillsville; Themes Morris, of La
Crosse. and Paul Husting, of Mayville
These three will undoubtedly go on
with the Stephenson probe as soon as
the present joint investigation is ter
minated on April 10.
No Quarter To Be Given.
During the closing sessions of the
week, during which little in the way
of important testimony was adduced,
the opposing sides of the table in the
committee made it plain that neither
will give quarter in the political
scrap that seems to be the real issue
of the investigation,
AS far as raising higher the barrier
between factions in Republican politics
in Wisconsin was concerned. this was
effectually accomplished, and that this
state of affairs is realized in other
quarters was indicated in the speech
of Senator Hudnall of Superior in
the senate on Friday, when he de-
clared that the adoption of the resolu
ton for a senate committee investiga-
tion of Stephenson would-Or might
party in Wisconsin, Coming from
solon of undoubted prestige and in
f1uence like Senator Hudnall this
statement cannot be dismissed as idle
oratory.
At one time during the past week it
looked as though the two sides of the
investigation committee might split up
into two committees-one to continue
the Stephenson probe and the other
to go with Hatton. Cook and Nc
Govern. All thoughts of this course of
action were dispelled, however, when
Assemblyman Bray. aided by his four
assembly colleagues, pushed through a
resolution to suspend the Stephenson
INQUIRY and go on with the other can
didates.
Tn defending this course Mr. Bray
said he did not believe anything
rotten would be found as a result of
this new line of investigation, but he
interpreted the resolution calling fof
the investigation as pointing this out
as the committees duty. The assembly
members all declared they would not
listen TO testimony in refutation of
that offered by Game Warden Stone,
unless the other examinations were
concluded in time to resume with the
state warden.
The two events of the week in the
investigation which most nearly ap
preached sensations were the reitera
ton by Chairman Marsh of his charge
that Attorneys Hyzer and Black for
Stephenson, had been persistently
coaching witnesses called to testify in
the Stephenson inquiry. and the deli
cate situation in which Lester Tilton.
of Neillsville, found himself after he
had denied being the author of charges
which later were presented to him in
his own writing.
Attorney Black, who has been a
close attendant upon sessions of the
committee, strenuously denies Chair
man Marsh's charge, but admitted he
had talked with witnesses Chair

the abIest and most conscientious
jurists in California, made some
highly highly pertinent remarks with
regard to the question of reforming
the law, and the procedure of the
courts. He suggested that much of
the seeming need of reforming the
law could be obviated by reforming
the lawyer, saying:
Why should any man who has COM
mitted a crime expect to escape the
penalty of his act? He expects it
simply because some member of the
legal profession encourages him to
expect it. All that a lawyer should
do is to undertake to e that a man
receives a fair trial, not to try to Sc
cure acquittal for the guilty. Such
a policy, it is true, might hurt bust
ness" Correct a distorted view
which too many lawyers entertain
regarding their profession.
If all lawyers would live up to
that high standard of legal ethics the
administration of Justice in this
country would be ten-fold more GER
tain than it is, and crime correspond
ingly reduced. 1t cannot be denied
crime fourishes because of aid and
immunity secured to it by legal tai

One of the problems an editor has
TO meet is the often repeated re-
quests of prominent citizens, some
times valuable patrons of the paper,
that this or that item of news be
withheld from publication. This is a
problem of special difficulty in the
smaller cities and towns. In the
larger cities such requests are not
so frequently made, and it is
easier to follow a general rule on the
subject. Speaking of cases of this
kind, in which the matters whose
suppression is sought constitute le-
Ultimate items of news, the Ober-
lin co.. News says:
"People come at the newspaper
with the time worn warning that
1T will do no good to publish these
things Publicity is regarded as
being almost if not quite as potent
a preventive of ~lawbreaking as the
fear of punishment and the effect of
publicity should be considered be-
fore rather than after the commits
sion of offenses. This fear makes
the work of the officers of the law
easier and the pubic should know
what is going on in the local courts.
Newspapers usually are glad to
withhold the publication of news
which might prove injurious to the
good names of any individual or
work harm to his business, but there
is a class of people who make a
habit of trying to suppress every
thing with which some of their
friends are connected. Many years
of experience teaches us that no
newspaper aver made any friends or
realized any benefits from suppress
ing the legitimate things the public
ought to know"
