BOWLING

Enoch Johnson went to the head
of the class of high bowIers Thurs
day at the west side bowling al
ley. Enoch took a fall out of all the
leaders by rolling a score of 245
This score looks so good to the pro
prietors, they have hung up five
dollar gold piece for any one who
can beat the 245 score before the
end of this month.
The Abel & PodawiItz Co.'S. team
occupied an alley last Thursday nigh
in a practice game. The scores made
will not be given to the public as
it is feared they will not be Abel to
secure any games with the other
teams.
Friday evening, Gleue's bunch will
use one of the alleys for practicing
The high scores made Thursday
are: Enoch Johnson 245, Roy Les

DON'T LET THEM STUFF YOU

Il heard a long story and doubt
full 1 am,
If it be a true one or if it's a
cram
Jones talks about Smith and he
jesticulates so,
I'm almost inclined to believe him,
you know.
But, each story two sides has and
when 1 hear Smith,
He declares Jones' whole story
a NTH.
And then I reflect on that saying
of old,
One story is good till another is
told"
Remember the foregoing when
some one tries to stuff you with
supposed facts regarding DesMoines
and Seattle on information secured
from disgruntled people, it is said,
who are not satisfied with the pro-
gress those cities have made under
the commission form of government.
The wonderful growth, prosperity,
and civic beauty made by
these wo cites under the commits
sion form of government ought to be
argument enough to refute any of
the trumped up yarns told by nat
ural born kickers.

SIXTY FOUR HIGH
SCHOOLS ENTERED

APPLETON, Wis, Jan. 23.-Sixty
four high schools of Wisconsin have
entered their teams in the competi
ton for places in the Eighth An
nual Wisconsin High School Basket
ball tournament to be held under the
auspices of Lawrence college March
20 and 80, and only one-eighth of
them can secure a place.
Fully twenty-five more schools are
expected to enter their teams before
the end of this month and the fight
for the places in the tournament is
going to be the most interesting in
the history of the big event at Law
renee.
The state has been divided into
four sections by the Lawrence com
mittee in charge. Three teams will
be admitted from the East Central
section, where practically every high
school has a team trying for a
place; two teams will be admitted
from the Southern section; two from
the Western and one from the North
ern.

CURB STONE OR.
ATORSATT

Another false statement being made
by curb stone orators is that the
meetings of the mayor and council
under the commission form of govern
ment will be held in secret. On the
contrary, one of the chief benefits
derived from the commission form of
government is that every thing is
given publicity and that the voters
can have voice in the passing Of
every ordinance, etc. The law re
quires that publicity be given to all
doings of the mayor and council.
Here is the law:
Meetings. Section 925m-312. L
The council shall provide by ordi-
nance for the time of holding regu-
lar meetings, and special meetings
may be called by the mayor or by
the two councilmen.
2. The meetings of the council
or of any committee thereof whether
regular or special, to which any per
son not a city official is admitted,
shall be open to the public.
Section 925m-314 l. The city
comptroller shall each month pre-
pare and present to the council a
summary statement of the revenues
and expenses of the city for the pre-
ceeding month, detailed as to ap-
preparations and funds, and arrang-
ed in standard form, together with a
balance sheet statement of the cur
rent assets and current liabilities
of such city at the close of such
month. These summaries shall be
accompanied by such detailed sche-
dulles as the council by ordinance
may require. All such schedules to-
gether with a summary of the acts
and proceedings of the council for
such month shall be published in
pamphlet form by the council who
shall furnish copies thereof to all
newspapers of the city and to all per
sons who shall apply for them.

system of city government you can
not have a voice in the election OF
the representative from wards other
than the one in which you live. Do
you call that representation? Do you
call that government by the people
Of course you don't if you are a think
ing man.
Now, under the commission form
of city government you vote for ALL
the commissioners, you have voice
in everything that is done. No or
dinance can be passed without your
knowing about it. Commission form
of city government comes the near
est to a government by the PEG
pie themselves than any form of gov
eminent that has so far been produc-
ed. If you are alive to the needs
of your city and want to see it pro-
gress, want to see new industries
come here and want to see the tax
rate reduced, then vote for the Com
mission Form of City Government

HOW ARE YOU
REPRESENTED?

You live in one ward or section
of the city, you own business or
property in another ward or section
Of the city. Under the present sys-
TEN of city government, you vote for
an alderman from the ward in which
you live, but you are taxed in the
other wards where you have proper
ty and you are NOT represented.
The Revolutionary War was caused
by taxation without representation.
Are We going backward? You need
police and fire protection; light and
water service; sewers and good
streets in the wards where you have
property and still under the present

OTHER FALSE.
HOODS NAILED

Some malicious persons are spread
ing the story about the city and
saying that $3.50 has been paid by
those in favor of the commission
form of government to a certain per-
son on the west side to swing the
vote in the fifth ward. This is abso-
lutely denied and the statement is
branded as a faIsehood.
Another false statement made by
malicious persons is the one regard
ing the meeting held in the fifth
ward last Monday evening. 1t has
been stated that the meeting was
broken up. Such is not the case al
though, hired trouble makers endeav-
ored to start something at the be-
ginning of the meeting, but as it hap
pened, the meeting ended in a peace
full and friendly way Anyone who
makes the statement to the contrary
is casting reflections on the vot-
ers of the fifth ward and intimating
that they are not good citizens and
that they won't let man speak in
favor Of the commission form of gov
eminent and that they do not want
to learn anything about it. They do
want to know about it and they want
to know why taxes are higher, es-
peciaIIy those who own property want
to know and they are going to use
their rights as American citizens and
learn what is best for them and not
allow members of the anvil chorus
to dictate to them as to how they
shall vote.

THE BLESSED
VIRGIN At CANA

st. John II, 1. And the mother of
Jesus was there.
The Gospels appointed for the Feast
of the Epiphany and the Sundays
following record successive Epiphan-
les or manifestations of the Divine
glory of our Blessed Lord in an
ascending scale; on the feast itself
His manifestation as an Infant thru
the leading of the Star, on the first
Sunday His manifestation in the
Temple at the age of twelve, and on
the second Sunday His manifestation
at the age of thirty, the age of per-
feet young manhood, III the miracle
Of turning the water into wine at
Cana of Galilee. On these three oc-
casions the Divine glory, hidden for
the greater part of our Saviour s
earthly life, appears for a brief space
and to men are vouchsafed some
glimpses of that Light of which st.
John says, THE light shineth in
darkness and the darkness did not
comprehend it."
The incident of today's Gospel took
place at a wedding feast in a poor
family. st. John says that our
Blessed Lord and His disciples were
invited, but first expressly states
that "the mohter of Jesus was there"
On the failure of the supply of wine,
so necessary according to the Gus
tom of the time for any festival ga
thering, the Blessed Virgin observ
ing the need, appealed to her Divine
Son for help. She said simply, "They
have no wine" Our Lord replied,
Woman, what is that to me and to
thee? My hour is not yet come"
Then she said to the walters, What
soever He shall say to you, do ye."
Then at His command the six large
stone jars at hand for purposes of
washing were filled to the brim with
water, and when they drew from them
10, it was no longer water, but bright
sparkling wine.
There have been those who thought
that our Divine Lord meant to re-
buke the Blessed Virgin when He
addressed her as Woman, as if he
would tell her to keep her own place
and not interfere with things that
were too high for her. On the con-
trary He could not have used the
word Woman except as a term of
honor and dignity. If any one ever
tells you that the Saviour intended
thus to rebuke His Blessed Mother,
ask him if He intended to rebuke her
when from the Cross of His suffer
ing and death He lovingly committed
her to the care of the beloved dis
ciple with the words, Woman, be
hold thy SON" Rather as Eve is
called Woman" in the Old Tesla
ment because she is the mother Of
all living by nature, so here our
Saviour would pay the highest pos
sible tribute of respect and honor to
her whom He loved above all Great
ures because she is the second Eve
and destined to become the mother
Of all who become united to her Di-
vine Son by grace.
And apart from all consideration of
the meaning of mere words, those
who would thus try to be-
little the Mother of Christ must do
SO in face of the facts, since it is
plainly at her request that the
needed help was given, and far from
being discouraged by the reply she
received, she Immediately proceeds
