LAMBASTING LA TOILETTE

Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
gave Senator La Toilette, of Wiscon-
sin, deserved lambasting one day
last week. The Wisconsin man is a
bowler OF the regular populist type,
who never loses chance TO interfere
with legislation when not too busily
engaged in running his new magazine
or making chautauqua speeches. An
appropriation bill was up when La
Toilette broke loose and charged the
senate with failure to- legislate upon
important matters in his usual grand
stand style. This angered Senator
Penrose who went back at him, charg-
ing him as member of the committee
onthe census with never having attend
ed meeting Of that committee during
two years service; as a member OF the
committee on claims with never having
attended more than one or two meet
ings OF that committee; as member
OF the committee on pensions with
scarcely ever having attended meet.

DR.. kline LECTURES
On the Prevention and Cure OF Tnbercu.
losis and Work Done at the
Iowa Sanitarium.

On Thursday evening OF last week
DR.. Kline OF Fort Dodge lectured at
the Methodist church. His address
was illustrated by pictures showing
patients at some OF the experiment sta
tions where cures are being attempted
by fresh air and sunlight; and houses
that should be condemned because OF
too much shade round about. But
when we thought OF hot summer day
we envied the fellow who has time to
lie under the trees, even at the risk of
breathing few destructive microbes.
DR.. Brooks introduced the speaker in
neat little speech, and we wondered
why IL was thought necessary To inn
port a man To talk about consumption
when we have half-dozen doctors
here who could do just as we'll
DR.. Kline referred to the sanitarium
at Iowa City which is owned and con-
trolled by the state. IL was opened
about a year ago and in November
had II patients, which is its full ca
pacity. In all 236 patients we're adj
mitted during the year. More than
disease was too far advanced. IL is
reported that four out OF five of the in
cipient cases we're sent home appar-
emily cured. II Is said there are 30, 600
cases OF tuberculosis in our state, SO
the sanitarium admitted but one out
of every l27, and cured one out OF
|, l53 Of the whole number In the state.
This looks like small beginning and
the task almost hopeless. But all
things have had small beginnings, and
In this case the object is not so much
to cure many OF the large number now
infected with the disease as to educate
the people in the better care and pro-
lection OF themselves and their fam
lilies 30 as TO prevent new cases as far
as possible.
The work Is OF great Importance.
What Is done to eradicate the disease
will depend largely upon the physi"
clans. And they can, by public lee
lures, private counsel and the use OF
the press do much to alleviate and
prevent the raVages of consumption.

THE PRESIDENTS WELCOME

The return ofthe America Navy from
its trip abroad is a noteworthy event
No other nation has ever sent it's fleet
around the world. And the probabila-
ties are that no other nation could
with as little difficulty and no acct
dents. Should any other nation ever
think of war with this nation the spec
ter of the American squadron would
loom up before them and cause them
to hesitatate long time before max
ing the attack. We believe that this
trip has been worth far more than all
the expenditure in its good effect upon
the relations of this nation and our
neighbors across the water. They have
learned that in the tonnage of ships of
the lighting linethe United States Navy
is second to none except Great Britain
And that it is ahead of the French, the
German and the Japanese navies. The
way to prevent trouble is to be pre-
pared to stop it in case it should occur.
In giving the troops a welcome home
President Roosevelt spoke as follows;
you have steamed through all the
oceans. You have touched the coast
of every continent. Wherever you have
landed you have so borne yourselves
as to make US at home proud of being
your countrymen. You have falsified
every prediction of the prophets of a
failure. In all your long cruise not an
accident worthy Of mention has hap
pened to a single ship. You left this
coast in high state of efficiency. You
return with your efficiency increased.
The fleet comes back in better shape
than it went out. We welcome you
homet to the country whose good repute
among nations has been raised by
what you have done "

STRONGER DISCIPLINE NEEDED

There was time when school disci-
pline was probably overdone; but the
time has come when it is in many cas-
es UNDERGONE. There was time when
the principal requirements on the part
of teachers was muscle and courage.
The time nowis when the demand seems
to be for sentiment and sympathy. Old
time discipline was fierce and some
times brutal; but it was made so by the
times and the sentiment of the people.
Modern discipline is effeminate and
sentimental; caused by the change in
the feeling and opinion of the commu-
niteis. From oneeXtreme the pendulum
has gone to another. In discussing
this matter Doctor O'Shea of the Uni
versity of wisconsin said to a meeting
of the Mothers Congress in Chicago
that f" The American boy should have
more coercion and not so much persua-
sion. Sentiment should not dominate
judgment. A boy ought to be made to do
things because he knows there is force
behind the command. There is far too
much delicacy in the present method
of treating the bad boy in the public
school. The best thing that can be
done is to thrash him.
The Inter Ocean in making reference
to the above quotation says: I" The
average normal boy OF certain age
is simply young savage, and unless
put in righteous fear OF wrath and the
rod will act like one. This is not said
as censure Of the boy or his parents.
1t is said because it is true. 1t is sim
ply one OF the stages of mental and
physical development which all
healthy human beings pass through
The fundamental distinction between
the savage and the civilized human
being is that the savage Is insensible
to any argument save that of fear. To
be controlled he must be put in fear.

WAS A PLEASANT SOCIAL
The Christian Church Social Proved to
Be an Enjoyable Affair

The box social given by the young
people of the Christian church in M.
w. A. hall last Friday evening proved
to be financial success as we'll as a
very pleasant affair. There was a
goodly crowd present and all seemed
to have made up their minds to smile
and look pleasant, whether they felt
that way or not and this fact gave to
the affair an air of welcome to the
stranger as well as to the friend of the
Young people. The boxes prepared by
the young ladies were all we'll filed
with dainties and substantials and some
of them were really neat and worth
preserving, especially so in the case
of the bachelors who spent their coin
in order to have lunch and pleasant
chat with some unknown damsel who
was sure to be in the hall when the
identity of the owners was later to be
revealed. No one, so far as we have
heard, was handed a lemon, although
oranges and other fruit were largely
in evidence when the boxes we're opened
The bidding for the boxes was at
times quite spirited. one of them being
elevated in price from20 cents to ST.. so
and number of them going at from
81 to S1.25. Everybody seemed salts
fed with his purchase, even to an elder
ly gentleman who bid in three boxes,
turned two of them back to be resold
and kept the third, the contents of
which he divided between himself and
a number of young boys who hadn't
the cash to buy box for themselves.
For the kids this gentleman was
lucky strike" and they enjoyed the
lunch as only kids can. Even the young
lady who brought the box enjoyed the
sight, although she did not help to eat
it's contents. Her heartwas, in the right
place and she knew she could get
lunch if she wanted ii upon reaching
home, and the sight of the kids enjoy
ment caused merry twinkle in her
eye.
A short program preceded the sale
of the boxes which was thoroughly en-.
joyed by all. There we're but four num-
bers to the program, but each was
good one and all we're cordially encor-
ed. The following was the program:

A DOg.gOne Lawsuit.

The case of Hal May VS.. Ralph
Stanley was the last jury trial in the
district court last week and was holly
contested. This was case arising in
Greeley township over the killing of a
dog. May sued Stanley for 800, al
leging this to be the fair, reasonable
and market value of his dog, but
Stanley alleged that he killed the dog
while the latter was in the act of chas-
ing his stock and put in a counter
claim for $22. SO for pigs killed by this
dog. The jury allowed May $40 for
his dog and Stanley $l2 so for his
pigs, thereby giving Stanley judg-
ment against May for 81. so and throw
ing the costs of suit upon the latter.
Mantz & White appeared for Stan
ley while May was represented by AT

Il Reached Its Full Glory In the SIX
teenth Century.
One Of the most peculiar and inter
esting evolutions in historic fashion is
the growth and development of the
ruff in England. This ruff began its
career as a humble little something
like tuck running along the top Of
the chemisette from shoulder to shout
der. You can see It grow in the
portraits Of royal personages slowly.
but surely, like great linen flower
opening its plated petals from genera
ton to generation. During the reign
Of Henry VII. it was scarcely more
than budding excrescence. but with
Henry VIII. it had outgrown its tuck
stage to the extent Of reaching up to
the ears and was beginning to sport a
mild flare. Those were the days Of
such strict sumptuary laws that in or.
der to wear black genet you must be
royal, to wear sable you must outrank
your viscount neighbor, to wear mar
ten or velvet trimmings you must be
able to show an income of over 200
marks year. The reign of Edward
VI. and Queen Mary merely fostered
the ruff without encouraging it to any
greater development. But Queen Eliza
beth, seeing in it possibilities for of
setting her red hair and clear skin,
famed it into vigorous life. In the six.
teenth century the ruff burst into full
bloom. Men and women. even tiny
princesses, were overshadowed by the
stiff rays Of the ruff on all great occa-
stons. Even over France, Germany
and Italy It spread its white pinious
and held unquestioned sway until Il
fell with the Roundheads.

A SHORT SPEECH.

nade BY an Indian Chief In Reply to
Government Agent,
Old Shah-bah-Skong. the head chief
Of Mile Lac, brought all his warriors
to defend Fort Ripley in 1862. The
secretary Of the interior and the gov
ernor and legislature Of Minnesota
promised these Indians that for this
act of bravery they should have the
specia! care Of the government and
never be removed.
A few years later a special agent
was sent from Washington to ask the
Ojibways to cede their lands and re-
move to country north of Leech
lake. The agent asked my help. l
said:
II know that country. have camp
ed on it. 1t is the most worthless strip
of land In Minnesota. The Indians are
not fools. Don't attempt this folly.
You will surely come to grief"
He called the Indians in council and
said:
my red brothers, your great father
has heard how you have been wrong
ed. He said, I Will send them an hon
est man. He looked in the north, the
south, the east and the west. When
he saw me, he said. This is the hon
est man whom l will send to my red
children Brothers, look at me. The
winds of fifty-five years have blown
over my head and silvered It with
gray. and in all that time / have never
done wrong to any man. AS your
friend ask you to sign this treaty."
Old h-bah-Skong sprang to his
feet and said:
"My friend. look at me! The winds
Of more than fifty winters have blown
over my head and silvered it with
gray. but they have not blown my
brains away"
That council was ended.
