THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

After an expenditure of thous-
ands of dollars uselessly, the dis.
covery has been made that the war.
ship Maine was blown up from the
outside which led to the Spanish
American war, the independence OF
Cuba, and the acquisition of Porto
Rico and the Philippine islands by
this country, for which we had no
need and are burdensome expense.
The blowing up of the Maine was
a grievous mistake for Spain, if
that government was responsible
for the act, but somehow, the wri-
ter has entertained a suspicion that
the Cuban revolutionists did the
work and has always doubted the
propriety of a war vessel of one
nation being in the harbor of a
friendly nation as menace.

FROST from the voters. The bust
ness world is now suffering from a
lack CT rest and tranquility. It
needs a little peace.
Strange to say, the prompt trial
and execution OF wife mur derers do
not seem capable of discriminating
that species of criminals.
1t would be a curious perform
ance of the political whirlgig if
Wall street should discover that
after all Col. Roosevelt was friend
in disguise.
They are talking of indicting for
perjury some of the more shameless
liars among the Lorimer witnesses,
which shows to what lengths will
be carried that conspiracy to bring
crooks to Justice.
Another revolution is scheduled
for Mexico. The revolutionists
wish to fight for freedom from the
freedom for which they last fought.
A young man in Connecticut who
never kissed a girl has been given
a gold watch. The chump should
have been given a rattle and a
nursing bottle, by Heck.
The shadow of Roosevelt seems
to have eclipsed the La Toilette
political sunrise which has gone
under a cloud for the time being.
1t will not make any difference
which of the twain the republicans
nominate, for Woodrow Wilson,
should the democrats know enough
to make him their standard bearer,
will make it mighty gloomy for
either of them.

An Insurgent Mix Up

Great CONSERVATION exists in the
camp of the insurgents in this state
for it looks now as if neither of the
parties in the state could elect
delegates to the national conven-
tions that would be admitted to
seats. The law of 1909, which was
enacted for the specific purpose,
provides that the names of dele
gates to a national convention shall
be certified not less than fourteen
days before the date of the presi-
dental election. Under this stat
ute, the Wisconsin primary, is TO
be held on Tuesday, April 4, 1919,
and the latest day on which names
may be submitted to the county
clerks for the purpose of making
up the ballot is March 70, which it
will be noticed cannot be done as
it would be necessary to certify the
names according to the old congress
slonal districts which were wiped
out by the passage of the new ap-
portionment act. It will make no
difference, however, for the voters
OF the state will not be deprived of
the right to vote for president
whether he is their choice or not.

1t will be remembered that dur
ing the last session of congress
there was a great "hallabaloo"
about the Controller bay scandal
and the brother of the president
drawn into the scandal by reason
of the Dick to Dick letters which
1t was proven to be a base forgery.
The democratic majority in the
house of representatives thinking
to make political capital and injure
Taft, moved the appointment of a
committee to investigate and gave
the matter all the publicity pos
sible and the senior senator from
Wisconsin reared up upon his hind
legs and brayed long and loud. AT
ter much trouble and expense it
was discovered that there was no
truth in the report that certain in
terests had gobbled up the Con-
troller bay unlawfully and that the
letter which it was claimed was
written by the brother OF President
TAFT was a shameful forgery. A
majority of the committee who in
Yestigated the matter lack the COM

A Forebodinq Outlook.

A wave of crime is sweeping over
the country. Horrible murders are
becoming an every day occurrence;
theft, graft and robbery prevail on
al sides and but few locations are
exempt. The labor conditions
in the country may be responsible
in some degree for the crimes that
are abhorrent to every good citizen.
The crimes committed, however,
cannot be attributed to labor, only
to a very limited extent, for large
proportion is committed by men
and women of education and wealth.
There is something radically wrong
with our civilization and the insane
desire to obtain wealth, has turned
the minds of the people from hon.
est methods for the accumulation
of money, to dishonesty and crimi-
nal methods.
Wealthy corporations have been
robbing the people for years by
combines and trusts, and have &C
cumulated colossal fortunes and
live like princes: which has had a
tendency to create distrust and dis
satisfaction upon the part of the
masses. The church has lost its
power, for it has rot preached the
gospel of brotherly love, but on the
contrary, has RECALLED the hearers
with essays and beautiful plati-
tudes in which there has been no
appeal to living the Christ life and
doing unto others as they would
that others should do unto you. u
Men have travelled to and fro
through the country preaching the
gospel OF hate and distrust, until
all confidence has been destroyed
among the people and the saying,
Get the other fellow before he
gets you," has almost become a
business axiom. There are thous-
ands of good men and women in
this country and the line of demar-
cation between good and evil was
never more strongly marked than
at the present time. Evil is ram.
pant, and the moral forces are ap-
parently Indifferent. With Man
nors, we are sometimes inclined to
say: Il tremble for my country
when ] reflect that God is just"

The democratic majority in the
lower branch of congress as soon
as the last congress convened, pro-
ceeded to create large number of
investigating committees to probe
into everything under the sun in
hopes of making political capital.
Thousands of dollars of the peo-
pies money was wasted and after
all the labor, nothing was brought
forth. The trouble in this coun-
try is, that there are two many two

a waste of money under the circum-

/ AN ALMANAC OF
! YE OLDEN TIME

@ORTUNATELY for our fore
fathers, the almanacs had some
claims to literary merits In
their day. Reading matter
OF. the colonies. Magazines were prac-
t1cally unknown. Filled with prog
nostications as to the weather, with
snatches Of wisdom and humor. verse
and essay. the annual almanac became
a compendium Of useful knowledge
that was most eagerly awaited and
was hailed as an important event in
many home. One might say that it
was treated as household god. for
hung upon a hook in some corner, IT
always was ready for instant refer
ence. The wise saws and quaint say
1ngs which ran through it's pages were
read over time and again by every
member Of the family.
Inere were numerous almanacS pub
hshed during colonial days in this
country. The popularity of Poor Rich
ards Almanac edited by Benjamin
Franklin, went hand in hand with that
OF It's illustrious maker.
The first Ames Almanac, issued in
1925, was conventional in form and
closely followed other almanacs of
the period. Its maker was a physi-
clan. 1t contained table of the
movements of the planets and sundry
prophecies concerning the weather
That the doctor was afraid of severe
criticism of this first effort is indicat-
ed by the following stanza. which also
illustrates the style Of his poetry:
Read, then, and learn, but don't all faults

TO whom my works appeal and if find
The sons Of art to favor them inclin'd,

every conceivable subject was discuss

years Of publication. Sometimes he

His hair with robes OF icicles is hung

tongue.
He makes the rich to spend and poor to

For want of that which would their wants

for 1873 DR.. Ames takes fling at law
