Morocco is not so hot as 1t is often
supposed to be. The greater part OF
the country is near either the sea or
the mountains, often both. and 1t is
only about as far south as Georgia or
louisiana The sun is hot. of course,
at midday. in dry region where the
sky is usually cloudless and the lati-
tude is about like that Of the gulf coast
Of the United States. But the tenn
perature in the shade is seldom ex-
treme-that is, in the parts of the coun-
try where the bulk of the people live.
South and east of the mountains, on
the border Of the Sahara desert. the
conditions in respect to heat are alto
gether different, but there the popula-
ton is small The people Of Moroc-
co are fanatical Moslems, and they re-
sent bitterly any kind of pressure to
change old customs or give up old
ways, but they are much less formid-
able than they used to be in the prime
Of Moorish power, especially in COM
parison with the conditions in the adj
vanced countries of the earth.-Cleve-

BY THE time the senatorial probe of
the Stephenson primary election is fin
ished the honorable gentlemen who are
taking testimony will conclude that our
primary election law is first-class
piece of idiotic legislation without a
meritorious feature in it from title to
end; that it makes office getting easy
for two classes-the demagogue and
millionaire-and that every considera-
ton affecting honest government and
it's intelligent management demands its
unconditional repeal. Since its enact
ment our lobby has grown, our taxes
have grown, our burdens have grown,
our politics and political contentious
are never ceasing, never ending affairs,
the state is in constant turmoil, public
servants select themselves, the boss is
more potent and dangerous, and the in
telligence and capacity of our law
makers at the lowest ebb in the history
of the state. As a theory it was tinted
with all the colors of the rainbow; as a
practical, working proposition, it is a
flat failure. The doctoring and tinker
ing of last winter may help. In view
of the calibre of the doctors and tink-
ers, and the other products turned out
by them, it is not hazardous thing to
predict that it will be more of failure
than ever.-Stoughton Courier-Hub.

Farmers Have Phones.

About 45 per cent of the farmers now
have telephones, according to z. V.
Collins, editor of the Northwestern Ag
riculturist, who spoke last week at the
Social Center Conference held at the
University of Wisconsin. Mr.. Collins
compared this to recent report of the
telephone company of Chicago in which
it was stated that about 20 per cent of
the people in Chicago now have tele-
phones Mr.. Collins has conducted an
investigation among several thousand
farmers to find out exactly what they
use. This investigation has been re-
peated twice and in 1910 it was found
that SIS per cent of several thousand
farmers that replied to the questions
sent out, carry high grade watches and
only about per cent carry dollar
watches. Other interesting figures
were reported by Mr.. Collins which
showed that farmers are using high
class commodities of all kinds. He re-
ported that in 1903, 6.5 per cent of the
farmers families owned pianos, in
1907, 8.3 per cent and in 1910, 12.4 per
cent

Poor Hand In . Bible Class.

A woman of Louisville. KY, who en-
joys a game of cards. recently visited
a friend in Indianapolis. Sunday
morning came. and the hostess invited
her visitor to accompany her to Sun
day school. 1t is the practice OF the
teacher of the Bible class of which the
hostess isSa member to ask each mem
Der of the class to read verse from
the Bible and comment on it. The
visitor from Louisville had not been
Informed of the teachers custom.
However, the teacher seemed to think
that visitors as we'll as regular mem
bers should participate, and when the
member next to the visitor had read
her verse and made her comment the
teacher smilingly looked toward the
visitor. The visitor appeared to be
Disconnected for moment, and then
she hastily said. 81 pass. "-Indianap-

If YOU want proof in practical way
of what it means to turn state over
to the control of a radical faction, look
to the Wisconsin legislature of last
winter, and the serious burdens of tax
alton it imposed. Nothing like it in
the history of the state was ever
known. AS tax paying time approaches
we can see what it has cost us to fol-
low men who despise the rule of rea-
son. Now, we must pay for our folly
two years ago, in that we refused to
elect safe, conservative and treason
able" men to handle the affairs of our
state. Think of appropriating A Mil
lion and Seven Hundred Thousand Dol
lars to the University alone. Can the
taxpayers of Jefferson county wonder
that their state tax this year is over
$4,000? This radical lack of reason
and sense in public matters costs ire
mendously. Look over that legislature
and the list of state officers and see
how much tax they pay. Most of them
are half-fedged lawyers and ranting,
mouthy politicians with nothing to lose
and everything to gain, hoping the peo-
pile will pay for their promotion in pol
itics. -Ft. Atkinson Union.

Some Welsh Words.

Welsh is a marvelously expressive
language In a souvenir guide to Car
naryon there is list of Welsh rail-
way stations with their English equiv
alents. Here are some of them: Aber~
gwynf, entrance to the place of bliss;
Amlwch, a place Of frequent expan
sion; Cefn Brynich, the back of the
screakinC hill; Dowlais, the voice of
God, and Llanbister, the manure yard
road" There is also one station the
name of which runs to ifty-eight let
ters. It's meaning is merely, 'The
fair church at the pool of the white
seagull near the alder grove where the
fodder for the oxen is stored in the
red barn. And surely teetOtalism
ought to flourish in a country where
beer is known as ''cwrw.'-Pall Mall

Roman Bricks.

When the preparations for rebuild
ing the Campanile. in Venice. were
undertaken the archaeologists were
afforded an opportunity to make some
interesting studies of the bricks. 1t
was found that they had been used
in arches, Notifications, the tops OF
walls and in other ways before they
were built into the campanile and
that they were not Venetian but Ro-
man bricks. These ancient bricks
were made in slices. for in many the
LAYERS could be seen undisturbed. 1t
is said that bricks made this way can
bear a greater weight than modern
bricks. The bricks examined were OF
the first century. One Of them bore
the imprint of a horseshoe. which
may prove that Romans used horse
shoe like ours. although it is generally
believed that their horseshoes We're
strapped on. not nailed.
