The Shepherd of the Hills.

The success of Harold Bell Wright's
novel, 1.-The Shepherd of the Hills" made
into play by its author in collaboration
with EIsbury W. Reynolds, is proving
just as big on the stage as in book form.
it does in the book stores.
The story of the play is based on
somewhat dramatic plot of mystery. An
unknown comes into the Ozark noun
talns and because of his clerical bearing
and readiness TO ofliciate for the regular
pastor of the mountaineers. portion
or his disguise is penetrated. The
mountalneers who live so much To
themselves are willing to let the man
live the life of a partial recluse. He
makes friends with one family and vol
unteers for the place of shepherd. In
this guise he attempts to expiate the
wrOngdoings of his son who several
years previously had come into the
mountains and wr0nged one of the
young womed. Her father has vowed
deadly vengeance on the betrayer of his
iaughte but he has disappeared leay-
ing no traces Of his whereabouts. 1t is
generally supposed that he is dead. The
good shepherd wins the love and respect
of the m"untaineers, though at one time
his life is en- |angered bv a laWIess band

revenue officer.

carefully and his ability as lawyer can
be attested to by anyone who has heard
him try case.
There is another reason why we be-
lieve that Mr.. Kading would make the
state a good attorney general, and that
is because he is man who can see his
duty clear and cannot be budged from
the right track when he starts out to do
anything.
striking example of this was shown
last spring when our state game warden
department was distinguishing itself by
breaking the game laws and defending
its wardens who were caught in the act
Horizon will readily remember a case
which occurred in this city.
Before the case was tried the state
game warden wrote District Attorney
kading personal letter trying to inter
fere with the progress of justice by get
| ting the distric attorney to dismiss the
case, net upon its merits, but through
pull and pressure. Mr.. Kading's reply
was to the effect that after a review ot
the evidence he would be in a better
position to pass upon the merits of tht
case. The evidence was found ampl,
sufficient and NJ. Kading prosecuted the
case and convicted the game warden WHIT
was fined $25 aud costs
| In our opinion man who has the
stuff in him to stand up for the right
and do his duty in spite of pull ant
pressure is man who has a right tt
come before the people and with good
grace ask for support.

C. A. Kdding for Attorney General

We are pleased to see that our friend,
Attorney c. A. Kading, of Watertown, is
a candidate for attorney general at the
coming primaries. Mr.. Kading is run
ming on the democratic state ticket
and if the democratic ticket is success
full this fall we don't know of anybody
whom we had rather see in the office of
attorney general than Charlie Kading.
Mr.. Kading has some claim upon
Horizon people as he was a student of
the Horizon high school for several years
and is well known to large number of
our people.
Six years ago he was elected district
attorney for Dodge county and has
served the people of his county with
ability and pains-taking conscientious
ness. He is a careful and thorough
student of the law and has formed the
valuable habit of studying his cases

Perhaps at no time in our history were
affairs of state at such an interesting
or perplexing period, for better or worse
Strong and intelligent men have
parted ways, as well as have politicians.

result VIII be remains to be seen, but
this is sure, that the Milwaukee Journal

fishing the news, both state and nation

Have "Fdrmed' the Farmers.

The editor of the Veterinary Adviser
in the last issue of that periodical takes
fall out of Gov. McGovern and shows
in very direct and conclusive manner,
that the governor is not entitled to the
support of the farmers, who have been
"farmed" for 10, these many years by
lot of politicians whose only object was
to hold office and create offices for others
to help them hang on. There is almost
a universal demand In the state that
there shall be radical change, many
expensive commissions and boards abol-
ished, greater economy in state expendi-
lures and in the management of the
state university.
