| He soon became too big for his small
| district and the governor was asked
that he be given seat IN the Supreme
| Court of Pennsylvania because of his
familiarity with OIL. The people pay
| immense sums because Of graft.
Crime costs the country 81, 1872, 600, 900.
A woman in Pennsylvania court was
| convicted of killing her husband, a
crime of which she had confessed to
her attorney that she was guilty. She
| had plotted for nine years, increasing
| the insurance on her husbands life
without his knowing it. After the jury
had brought in the verdict, the judge
| without authority of law changed the
charge from murder" to man
slaughter" reducing the penalty to
imprisonment for six years. The judge
then lifted his mortgage, paid for his
law library that he had bought on the
installment plan, and acquired a new
81, 200 automobile.
Mr.. Ward told of other corrupt acts
| caused because of the neglect of the
people: a chief of police in his state was
wanted in New York; the chief in
Seattle was wanted in West Virginia
prison; 100000 has been assessed
upon liquor dealers in Ohio to corrupt,
and make farce of the County option
law.
Good men are Indifferent. What is
good man? Ask woman and
she will think of her husband. One
woman sent for Wizard. Her hus-
band threatened to shoot her. He did
not deny it, but when Mr. Wizard said
he should go to jail the woman would
not let him take her husband down to
that cold Jail But what is the value
of good man? There is a value on
everything. The locomotive is valued
at $100 Various things, such as
mineral in the water, depreciate the
value of the engine. The courts have
fixed the value of man at SIS, 900.
The young man who uses cigarettes
instead of bran biscuits is deprecated
in value. The man who drinks fusile
oil is deprecated. Employers want
men at their best, moral men who
will not corrupt their fellow Workmen.
Operators of paper mills, logging
camps and saw mills want men at
their best 1t takes less expense for
experimenting such men.
The senator who was working for
the saloon interests in Congress said
eve admit that 80 per cent of the
crime we have is caused by the saloon,
but we want a law that will elevate
the traffic"
Mr.. Wizard said in closing: go to
your home to lead the best life and
make it the best place. Go after your
boy with tears in your eyes. 1t is
cheaper to put rug and a photograph
in his room than to pay an attorney
$500 to get him out of some scrape he
got into on the street. If my girl
should go astray l would say, "Arda.
come home" 1t will be better to buy
a piano and seat long enough for two,
and put it in your psrlor than to have
your girl chasing across the country to
some kitchen dance. Return to the
religion of our fathers and be not
ashamed of the family altar. We
must set up higher standard and re-
solve to live by this standard.
Mr. Wizard spoke at the Training
school Monday morning, and at noon
left for Chetek where he lectured Mon
day evening. We hope that he may
come again to our city. for he is man
who inspires our citizens to live more
worthily and to take more interest in
the government and welfare of the
community.
