Stoughton Ski Record Broken.

A beautiful glide down the big ski
slide, eliminating in leap of $50 feet,
broke all previous hill records and won
$25 cash prize for Barney Kelley, the
Virginia, Mimi, Irishman, at the Sec
ond interstate ski meet at Stoughton
Saturday afternoon.
Reiley, however, had tough luck in
his other jumps, falling once, and was
only able to place sixth in the point
scoring. His long leap was as pretty
an exhibition as was ever witnessed
there.
Forty-three skiers took part in the
meet, IA winning prizes. A much larger
crowd was in attendance than at the
previous contest. The weather was
ideal and the heated tent was not
needed.
Oscar Gunderson of Chippewa Falls
carried away first prize with two clean
leaps of 143 and 1873 feet. Ragner
Omtvedt of Chicago was second. In
the amateur class Ingolf Sands won
first place and gold watch valued at
$35. He. repeated his performance OF
several weeks ago. He also won the
longest standing jump for amateurs,
leaping 1876 feet, which is one of the
longest amateur marks ever made in
the world. The fifteen year old Oscar
Sundby of Stoughton leaped 112 and
lis feet and won fourth in the amateur
class.
Ragner Omtvedt of Chicago jumped
1872 and IA feet. The former hill rec
ord was 141 feet. Special trains were
run to Stoughton from Madison. Four
thousand people attended. Conditions
were fair.

THE cowardice of public men is
one of the distressing symp-

There are ninety-siX, men in the
American senate. Many of them
are strong and able men. They
represent forty eight sovereign
commemorative of this republic
and We're chosen to represent the
intelligence, the spirit and the in
terests of these states and of this
republic at large. They were not
chosen to be the mouthpieces of
faction, nor the spokesman of presi-
dents or presidents elect.
And yet it has been practically
impossible to induce any one of
these eminent Representatives of
American commemorative to chirp
above a cricket's whisper upon any
one of several great and pressing
public issues in advance of the
Views and the policies of the new
president of the United States.

These men are supposed to be
leaders of political thought. They
are the makers of laws and of pub

that Mr.. Webster or Mr.. Clay or
Mr. Calhoun would have withheld
his views from the public waiting
to know what Andrew Jackson
thought, or Martin Van Buren, be-
lieved, or John Quincy Adams was
about to say? In the days when
