Secret Sport Of Iceland.
names Josefsson in the Strand

johannes JoseYssOn in the Strand.
During recent years public interest in
my and every really valuable form OF
self-defense has increased very largely.
and on that account it will be a matter
of the greatest surprise to me If the true
merits OF "Ciilma," the particular form OF
self-defense that has actually been prac-
ticed in Iceland for nearly 1.0O00 years, do
not, when once known, become generally
recognized, for, as has been proved on
countless occasions. it is at once the
simplest and yet wlthal the most effca-
cious of all exercises.
But up to the present time the ancient
pastime of my countrymen has been
%jealously guarded from all foreigners. In
deed, the only occasion when strangers
were allowed to witness it during the
whole of the last century was when 1T
was displayed before King Christian TX.
OF Denmark, at Thingvellir, when he Wis
tied Iceland In 1874. and even then only
two men took part-the present Rev.
Sigurour Gunnarsson, OF S~tykkishoIm.
and the Rev. Larus Halldrosson, of Rev
kjavik.
But times change, and thus today. even
In far-away Iceland. where news from the
outside world is slow to creep in. we
have at last recognized tina no good mr..
u ancient form Of self-defense. the
knowledge of which, valuable though ia
is in everyday life, must necessarily play
second fiddle" in scientific warfnre. On
that account. therefore, today 1 feel no
qualms in divulginF the secrets of this
form of self-detense, which has been
practised in Iceland since 11O0. when nv
country was a republic. 1t was not then
limited to the platform nor to any spe-,
cial occasion, for throughout the land,
from the country farm to the althing
(parliament). 1t was q daily exercise in
which most men took part.
The essential Idea Of this Icelandic form
OF self-defense is to enable the weaker to
hold their own with the stronger. and 1
am not exaggerating when 1 say that, II
she will take the trouble to learn some
OF the tricks and "hitches'' Of China, even
a woman possessed of only ordinary
strength will be able to defend herself
against, and overcome, an opponent pos
sessed of far greater physical strength.

he state Legislature has conven-
ed and 1t is hoped that laws will
be enacted relieving the people in
some degree from the burden of
unnecessary taxation. To that
end, the services of an army of
useless employees and about half of
the commissions could be despens-
ed with, without detriment to the
people, We have heard much a.
bout reform of late years, but tax
es have steadily increased until
they have become burdensome and
positive hardship. Instead of
laws to tax corporations in order
TO secure more money to be wasted
IN extravaganza, the legislature
should practice. the utmost ecncomy
as tar state expenses are invalved
and cut off all Of the tax eaters
whose services are of no value, ex-
cept to few leaders in the par
ty, whose political activities in the
state have been disgrace. The
member who has the backbone to
take the initiative in the matter
will make reputation and be re-
membered by the people. Don't
call it reform, but Justice to the
people, who have followed false
gods and been skinned.

A CHANGE COMING.

There is no man In this state who
can take the Senatorship from Sen.
LaFollette, and no man who can
fill the place more ably than he:
While the writer has not always
agreed with the senator on ques-
tons Of a state and national char
acter, he has always recognized
his ability and personal honesty,
and while not an adherent or fol-
lower, would much prefer him to a
man Of less ability as our represent
tative in the upper branch of con-
gress. At the present time, there
IS great political unrest in this
country, and no doubt, but that
there may be new political align
ments before the next presidential
election, and the changes may bring
together those who in the past have
been on opposite sides of the fac
tional and party fences. The man
who rises above personal interests
and stands unhinchingly for the peo-
pie as whole and not classes, will
receive the applause and support of
the people. The next few months
will probably develop many changes
and the political enemies of the
past be found fighting shoulder to
shoulder against certain interests
which have become inimicable to the
welfare of the people and country.

will reduce the price Of all such
products from thirty to eighty per
cent and have a strong tendency to
reduce the value Of agricultural
lands from one third to a half.
Many of the farmers throughout
the country have been led to be-
lieve that a protective tariff was
robbing them, when they were the
direct benehciaries of such tariff
and consequently, many voted
against their own interest. A tariff
for revenue with incidental protec-
ton, would benefit all classes and
should be maintained. A tariff
simply for revenue spells ruin to
the country at large, as will be ex-
perienced if that policy should OBJ
tain.

The Milwaukee Journal asks US:
Why defeat? Would a Tory be
any less a Tory after defeat than
before it,"
Lutte, let US hike back in mem
DRY to 1890, when the Republican
party in this state was defeated be-
cause of a division Of sentiment
within the party. IN 1894, it came
together again on republican prin-
ciples and was successful-and
where was the Journal at that time?
What the party needs and must
have to win IN the next campaign
is more unity and less discord.
