the solution of such difficult questions.
But the old way does not suit the agi-
tators What they are after is to kick
up a hurl-burly in the minds OF the
people: create dissatisfaction with the
Constitution, the laws and the courts,
in the hope that this destructive shift
ing of things will give them chance
to come to the surface. "My principal
objection to a republican form of gov
ernment," says French writer, lis
that it gives the dishonest, self-seeking
demagogues too big an advantage" y
The Initiative is move still farther in
that direction.
A stable, steady, even working form
of government, which is so conducive
to the multiplied industries OF peo-
pie, does not suit the professional pro-
gressive. He belongs to the school OF
quack doctors who depend for liveli-
hood upon making as many people as
possible believe they are sick so they
will buy his medicine, Politics has its
quacks the same as medicine.
A large proportion of the people are
prone to forget the big fact that the
Office seeking politician is by nature
and purpose quack. They forget all
about the manifold blessings repre-
sentative government has brought
them. They turn willing ear to the
political Dowies who promise them all
sorts of impossible good in exchange
for confidence and power vested in
them. The founders Of this republic
gave us representative system OF
government. 1t has proved strong
enough to create nation OF hundred
millions. 1t has the great merit of be-
ing understood whereas no one can
fotatell the evils that will flow from a
change in that system, such as the
progressives are clamoring for--Jeffer-

Representative Government

What IS it? Representative govern
ment consists in government by men
who are the chosen representatives Of
the people. 1t consists first in the
making Of laws. This is a great peo-
pie. Our civilization, our business in
terests are all too complex to think Of
making laws by the whole people dir
ect. Not one voter in ten thousand
would feel competent TO frame n law in
the first place, much less to decide as
10 its wisdom,
SO, according TO our present system
OF representative government we elect
from among us, representatives. who
have the time and understanding suilic-
lent to do this work of making laws
But now comes a class OF restless, dis
satisfied agitators who tell us that this
system OF representative government
is all wrong. That we must have the
initiative, which means thatthe mass
es must originate the laws they want,
by voting for them direct in sort of n
primary way by nominating the laws
we want passed.
Any man with half an eye can see
that that will result in two things: %
The people realizing their own lack OF
time and fitness to decide wisely what
they want in the way Of laws will let
set OF demagogues and radical agitators
lead them in this matter Of legislation
and this initiative work We have
trouble and evil enough now under our
present system but this loose, helter-
SHELTER way Of deciding upon questions
that call for the closest thought will
bring US evils and disorders hundred
times greater than we now endure
Every man who has studied the history
OF Legislation knows that IL is most
difficult and delicate piece Of work to
create law that will prove productive
of more good than evil.
At present under our representative
form Of government this work in Wis
consin Is performed by l33 men work
Ing in two bodies. The Initiative pro-
poses 70 turn the decision of what laws
we shall have over TO the vote of all
the people. Is this progress towards a
simpliiled, compact and practical sys-
TEN OF law-making or is it progress
backward TO the most primitive ideas
of law makingY Let every voter look
into his own mind and ask Of himself,
"Am ] fit to decide what the law shall
be in preference 10 men can select TO
do this workY' 1t changes the place
OF decision as 10 the desirability and
need Of a law from the legislature TO

or ought TO know, is no fit place for

now. Little more than twenty centu-
ries of the earths annual celestial
tours have been tailed with the year
as the unit of time. This innovation
is credited to Eratosthenes, mathe-
matician and philosopher who held a
job as librarian for one of the Ptol-
emys at Alexandria about 254 years
before Christ. Eratosthenes no doubt
found delight in devising a system by
Which future ages could eat their
meals and 90 TO bed and get up again
without having to first run out into
moon or some starry constellation
might chance to be.
We all know that the year Is the
period in which the sun makes a COM
plete circuit of the heavens and re-
turns to the point in the zodiac
whence it started, but we never stop
to question how or why. 1t is enough
for us that calendars and almanacs
are thrown our way for the asking,
wherein we find each day Of the
month and of the year carefully num-
bered
Our years are of the Christian era
and extend from January / to Deem
Der 81. This era was first used by
Dionysius ENigus in A. d. 533, 1t was
more than thousand years before
the year was begun on January l by
many nations. Before the days of
Eratosthenes there seems to have
been no crying demand for precise
plan OF counting time. In one city
the reckoning was by succession of
kings, in another by a succession of
magistrates or priests. Even after
the adoption in European countries of
the Christian era there were so many
methods of dating-national, provn-
cial and ecclesiastical-that only con
fusion could result. Mythology long
had held a higher place than astron-
omy.
Peoples Of Egypt and Babylonia are
said to have been wiser than those
of other nations that figure in the cen
turtles following them. Sages of those
olden times were familiar with the
heavens, but the Greeks who followed
them could not calculate the advent
of their moons In conjunction with
the sun. The Hebrews before going
down into Egypt and the Arablans
before the time of Mohammed calcu-
lated time only by the moon. They
figured IL lunations or 354 days as
the duration Of the year. On that

PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATED
DOCTORS INSTITUTE.

The chief consulting physician of the
Associated Doctors Institute will be at
Manitowoc for one day only We'd, Jan.
s when he will receive and examine
patients.
The Associated Doctors are the spec
ialisls whose many wonderful cures
have caused comment by the press, pull
pit and public, not only in Wisconsin
but all over the country. These speci-
alists have founded new school of
medicine which embraces all the good
points of all the old schools and leaves
out the bad. They use allopathic drugs
when they are needed, they use home
opathic drugs where they are needed,
and Electric treatments where they
are needed, and in some cases they use
a combination of Electric treatments
with Homeopathic or Allopathic drugs
in the same case. The Associated
Doctors have united the various schools
and 'lsms" of medicine to form a per-
feet system of curing disease.
The object OF the Associated Doctors
in visiting this community is to secure
a few cases, but they want these cases
to be only the most difficult ones. They
know that if they cure n few of the
| worst cases here, that others will hear
OF it and go to one Of their Institutes
for treatment A cured patient is their
best advertisement.
While the doctor is at the Williams
hotel for this one days visit on We'd,
Jan. 8, he will examine all cases free
of charge, but will accept only durable
| cases for treatment, as it would not be
| "A good advertisement to treat any case
| unless they were sure of cure. To
the cases selected for treatment a spec
ial reduced price will be made.
The diseases treated By the Associa-
ted Doctors are diseases of the nerves,
blood skin, heart, stomach, kidneys,
and liver, including rheumatism, par
alySis, neuralgia, loss of nerve force,
goitre, constipation, catarrh, epilepsy,
| dyspepsia, indigestion, piles, iistula,
weak back, bloating dropsy, eczema,
scrofula and diseases OF women and dis
eases OF men and all diseases of the eye,
ear nose and throat.
The daily papers throughout the
country are continually publishing re-
ports Of the wonderful cures that have
been maze by the Associated Doctors.
While the Associated Doctors will
not accept any incurable cases for
treatment, no one should give up hope
| simply because other doctors have fail
ed to help them. 1t must be remem.
bered that this new system of medicine
has quickly cured many cases which
could not even be helped by other doc
tors or medicines.
The Associated Doctors treatment is
all home treatment so that frequent
visits to the office are not necessary.
This treatment may be used IN any
home, anywhere, without necessary in
convenience, publicity or annoyance
and without OBTAINING the patient from
his or her usual occupation.
This wonderful new system of treat
ment is what these noted doctors are
bringing TO Manitowoc. He will be
here on We'd, Jan. 3.

to contain only three intercalary
months instead of four. This would
reduce the mean length of the year to
1854 days, but the care Of the calen-
dar was left with certain officials with
discretion to intercalate more or few
er days. To prolong the terms OF e.
fee or to hasten elections the ques-
ton of the calendar was ignored
When julius Caesar came into power
he found the civil equinox differed
from the astronomical by three
months. Winter months had been car
ried back into autumn and autumn
into summer.
Sosigenes, an old mathematician
who was more familiar with the stars
than any man of his time, came to
Caesars rescue and devised plan
to put an end to the disorder The
civil year was regulated entirely by
the sun and was fixed at 1851 days,
the quarter day being added to each
fourth year as we have 1t now. The
original plan was to have thirty-one
seventh, ninth and eleventh months
and the other months thirty, except
February, which was to have twenty
nine on common years and thirty each
fourth year. This would have been
so much more simple that had 1t been
kept we no doubt would want to give
thanks to Caesar. But then came that
other Caesar and spoiled it all. July
had been named for julius and Angus
tus insisted the month to bear his
own name must have as many days
as July. One day was taken from
February and added to August to
crafty the vanity of this ruler.
When the Julian calendar was in
troduced the equinox fell OH the 25th
of March. In the course of few cen
turtles it changed. The error in time
amounted to a day in 12S years. In
1882 Pope Gregory XIII. abolished the
Julian calendar in all Catholic coun-
tries and introduced the one now in
slipped back to March II. Ten days
were dropped from the calendar
Every one hundredth year that by the
old style would be leap year was to
be common year, the fourth century
Invisible by four excepted; 1900 was
TO be leap year, but 100, 1900, 1900
of the common length, and 1000 a leap
year again. Some countries were slow
to accept this method, but Russia is
the only Christian country that does
not follow it.
Although for many centuries there
was so great variety in the selection
of the day regarded as the first of the
year, religious observances and festive
rejoicing were general among all peo-
ples-Egyrtians, Jews, Chinese, Ro-
mans and Mohammedans. Solemn in
auguration of the new year was one
of the customs retained upon the es-
tablishment of Christianity. The date
ranged from Christmas to Easter I'M
til late in the sixteenth century.
Finally the date was accepted that
had been named by Numa, who also
had named the month in honor of
Janus, the two-faced, who was thus
supposed to turn at once back upon
the old year and forward to the new.
Feasting and the interchange Of
presents have been customary in all
ages SO far as can be learned from
records of celebrations of this day.

basis the New Years day returned to
the same season once in 3S years.
Moses is said to have obtained all Of
his chronological knowledge from
the Egyptians who learned the length
of the tropical year by observing the
rising of Sirius, the dogstar.
Some troubles of the Jews in keep
ing their calendar straight are told in
the Jewish encyclopedia. In early
times an extra month was thrown in
every two or three years. Calcula-
tons Of the relative length of the
solar and lunar years were handed
down by traditions in the patriarchial
family. 1t was possible also to Judge
by the grain harvest. If the month
of Nissan arrived and the sun was so
far from the vernal equinox that it
could not reach it by the 10th of the
month, the month was not called Nj
san, but Adar Sheni (second).
The country people and the inhab-
itants of Babylonia were informed of
the beginning of the month by fire
signals, carried from station to sta
ton in the mountain country.
Under the patriarchate Of Rabbi
Judah L." says the Jewish encyclo-
pedia, 'the Samaritans, In order to con-
fuse the Jews, set fire signals at i'm
proper times and thus caused the
to the day of the new moon. Rabbi
Judah accordingly abolished the fire
signals and employed messengers"
The Jewish calendar reckons the
days from evening to evening in &C.
cordance with the order observed in
the biblical account Of the creation.
The Jewish cycle in nineteen years
exceeds the Gregorian by hours, 8
minutes and 1873 seconds. This makes
a difference in hundred cycles
$500 years. Of 8 days, 81 hours, 45
minutes and seconds. The assumed
duration Of the solar year is min
utes 80 1857 seconds in excess Of the
true astronomical value, which will
cause the dates of the commencement
Of future Jewish years, that are so
calculated, to advance from the equi-
nox a day in error In 216 years.
All European countries borrowed
civil calendars from the Romans. The
year began with March and that ac-
counts for the present names Of the
last four months of the year. In the
reign of Numa two months were add
ed. January at the beginning and Feb
ruary at the end. In 542 B. c. Feb
ruary was given its present place. At
that time the months had twenty-nine
and thirty days alternately, so that
the year had 345 days; to make this
more fortunate under the old super.
stition that luck lies in odd num-
bers," one day was added The moon
makes a revolution in about twenty
nine and one-half days and twelve lu-
nations form period OF 1854 days. To
get the civil calendar even with the
solar year Numa ordered an addition
al month to be inserted every second
year between the 23rd and oath of
February, consisting of twenty-five
and twenty.three days alternately.
Thus four years contained 1,465 days
and the mean length Of the year was
1904 days. This was one dav too
much. From an effort to adjust mat
tiers more confusion resulted.
Politicians OF that day were no less
prone to manipulate affairs to their
own advantage than they are today.
