Watertown leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1909-1911, 1911-11-10

Champ Clark, speaker of the
house of representatives says, that
the people of this country favor the
annexation of Canada. The fact is,
that not one in a thousand has ever
given the subject thought and not
one in a thousand favors any such
a policy. We have already got
more territory than we can govern
properly and it would be sheer nom
sense to acquire more to tangle US
up with people who prefer their
present condition.
Watertown leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1909-1911, 1911-11-10

The Leader is in hearty accord
with the Milwaukee Journal in it's
contention for a non-partisan cleo
ton of municipal officers in that
city next spring. 1t is the only
way to break up political cliques
and rings and give the taxpayers a
better class of officers. We hope
that an effort will be made next
spring in WATERFOWL in the same
direction and the party rings put
out of business. Politics should
cut no figure in municipal affairs.

MEN YOU SHOULD
NOT MARRY

The day is gone by when women
looked upon marriage as an abso-
lutely essential event in their lives.
This is the day of the independent
woman, who will gladly marry the
man whom she can both love and
respect. but if she fails to find him,
she can and does refuse to marry at
all rather than marry simply to
escape any supposed stigma or dis
ability which may attach 10 the con-
dition of spinsterhood.
But in spite Of this increased In
dependence on the part Ct women,
there are still numbers of the fair
sex who are inclined to think twice
and thrice before refusing a man,
even if he should not by any means
amount to the grand passion of
their lives. Girls, however, are to
be warned against certain types Of
men whom they will do we'll to

Never marry man TO reform

that is. II man is vicious and has
bad habits before marriage, he will
have vicious and bad habits after
marriage, and the girl who marries
him Is walking straight. not into a
married paradise. but into welded
Gethsemane.
Do not marry man who is a
spendthrift. He is often rather a
jolly sort, with attractive manners
and very careless style, which
girls rather like. but unless the
girl is content to face eventual pow
erty. and perhaps something worse
than poverty, she had better let
him gang his ain gait" without her
companionship.
AS a rule spendthrift becomes
a cadger. He filings his money
about while he has got any. quite
careless Of the happiness Of those
who are dependent upon him, bur
when his money Is gone he does
not scruple to beg for more, and
to stoop to all kinds OF mean de-
vices to raise the wind" Avoid
the spendthrift as you would the
plague. He is selfish and heartless.

word you cannot rely on.

MUNICE, Ind, Nov. rs. - The
use OF the hand is the best test Of
insanity, according to DR.. Arthur
Holmes. the psychologist Of the Uni
versty of Pennsylvania, who ad-
dressed the Delaware county teach
ers here.
The way to determine whether a
child Is mentally normal, the physi.
clans says, is to watch it pick up
pencil or other object. If the
thumb and fingers are used agaist
each other the child Is normal, but
If the thumb is barely used the
child Is deficient.
Shaking hands Is also a test of
mentality the psychologist says. Hav-
ing the subject grasp a bar and pull
himself up by his hands Is still an
other test. Normal persons place
thumbs on the opposite side of a
horizontal bar in lifting their weight,
but subnormal ones put it on the
same side as the fingers. as monkeys
do.
Jumping rapidly to discussion Of
boy and girl natures, DR.. Holmes
said that every boy should have a
dog and every girl doll, as every
little boy Is dog hungry" just as
every little girl Is doll hungry"

LONG DISTANCE
WIRELESS TALKS

Experiments have been conducted
for some time past near Chepstow
for the transmission of the human
voice over long distances with the
aid alone of the natural elements
The inventor, Mr.. Grindell Matthews.
1t is stated, submitted his discovery
recently to severe test in the pres
ence of a number of experts. He
was placed in the strong room of a
big London commercial house and
locked in, with nine inches of ar
NOR steel, nine inches of fire brick
and six feet of concrete between
him and the outer world By means
of his small portable apparatus he
carried on a conversation With an
operator in another room on the
farther side OF the building. SO dis

were actually able to hear the

rock between Chepstow and Tin

spoke from Beachley, in Gloucester
shire, to point over five and a
half miles away, near the Severn
tunnel outlet on the opposite side o.
the river. He intends to carry on
experiments between Chepstow and
Cardiff, about 25 miles. If he does
this successfully he is to go to AL
