NEELEY STILL MAKING GOOD.
Big Kansas Congressman Finds His
Position on Currency Bill Vim
dicated.

Kansas was well represented in the
consideration given by congress to the
currency bill which was finally plac-
ed on the statute books this week.
Representative George A. Neeley is
a member Of the house committee on
banking and currency which first
passed ON the measure and he was
one Of the most active participants in
the deliberations of that committee.
He led group Of Democrats ON the
committee who fought for certain
amendments to the measure as II
came to the committee.
These amendments had principally
to do with the insurance of bank de-
posits, the re-discounting of agricul-
tural paper, the authorization of farm
loans by national banks, and the pro
hibition Of interlocking directorates.
The stubborn fight put up by Neeley
and his colleagues for these provis-
ions in committee, in caucus, and in
the house, brought them into conflict
with the leaders of the organization
il the house and they were called in
surgents and rebels but they had
the satisfaction of finding their fight
vindicated when the things for which
they fought were placed in the bill
in the senate or in conference.
Just before the bill was sent to con
ference by the house Neeley made a
stirring speech in which he insisted
that the house cOnferees should ac-
cept the senate amendments. and it
was undoubtedly the firm attitude Ia
ken by Neeley and some of his Dem
ocratic associates that led to the ac-
ceptance by the house conferees of
the provisions of the senate bill deal
ing with the re-discounting of agri.
cultural paper and the authorization
o; farm loans.
Neeley's effective work on the cur
rency measure has brought him much
renown. He and the Democratic col
eagnes who stood with him for i'm
provements in the bill were at first
called Insurgents, but they were up
dismayed by the criticism directed at
them by the leaders, kept up the
fight Increasingly and finally won
their reward when the things for
which they were. contending wers,
incorporated in the bill, admittedly to
its betterment. ' q .ne
As member Of the House Commit
tee on Banking and Currency, Mr.,
Neeley was among those invited, to
the White House to zee the president
sign the currency bill last Thursday
evening :. .. $780,. pI1r
This Is only one of the many meas.
res in which Congressman Neeley
has given ample proof of his ability
to cope with situations and measures
requiring the services Of men of &C
ton as we'll as great ability. There
IS not a single instance in his politi-
cal career where he has not made
good in the best possible manner and
thoroughly fulfilled his duty for the
benefit of the masses instead of the
classes. He has always been on the
side of the people and they are 60
ing to remember this and see that
be is retained in the position in
which he has been of such service to
them, and they will re-elect him next
tall with a larger majority than ever
before.

AN ESTIMATE ON ART

An eminent New York artist, noted
for beauty Of his sketching, tells one on
himself.
1t appears that one summer, while
sketching in New England, he made a
study Of a farmers barn. The farmer
happened to appear and said he'd like
to have the sketch, ''if it isn't too ex'
pensive," he added cautiously.
"Oh," said the sketcher, whose works
bring a stiff price in the metropolitan
market. 81 won't charge you anything
for the sketch, but'-his eye lighted
on the pig pen-"I'll tell you what.
You can give me one of those nice pink
pigs lying there"
The farmer frowned. 'why man"
he exclaimed, "do you know what those
pigs are worth? They're worth dol
lar apiece" New Orleans States.

Milwaukee. Wis, July Elbow
would you like to shake dice with
death across the table from you
waiting to rake in the stakes, If you
lose? That is practically what Lin
coin Beachey, worlds greatest ayi-
ator, does and will do every time he
makes flight at this years Wiscun-
sin State Fair He will fly three
times each day on Sept. 10, l6, II
and IS,
Beachey is famed as the most Skill
full of all aviators and does the most
remarkable things With an aeroplane,
but his scientific and skilltul teats
pale into insigniticance when com
pared with the stunts he accomplished
through just sheer nerve and daring.
The loop and the upside down fly
ing feats are easy for Beachey when
everything goes right. But let the
motor hesitate just a fraction OF a
second as the aeroplane Is at the
apex Of the loop and tail slide OF
a few feet will mean the death of the
fier. Beachey is no fool. He knows
far better than anyone else Just
what chance he is taking. But it's
all delightful game for him this
sport of risking his neck on the mag
neto, carburetor, wiring and dozens
OF other factors in the construction
of an aeroplane.
1T is simply the dancing along
life's icy brink and the attendant eX-
element that makes life worth
while" said Beachey recently.
Chance taking is not business with
me. 1t is a delightful diversion, and
no music lover ever is more charmed
of his favorite opera, superbly sung
by great artistic, when | am charm
ed at the hum of my motor when |
am sailing in or out of a loop and
upside down flight Some hunt lions
and tigers for thrills. But ] love the
sky and answer its call because my
whole life centers around the sensa-
tions of flying.
A great scientist once told me
that | had the bird instinct in my be-
ing. AS boy | was a great lover OF
birds. Their song did not appeal to
me as much as their superb dips and
dives and other feats of flying. | Co.
ten wanted to emulate them. Now
can do things the birds cannot do, l
can loop the loop and ly upside down.

1914 fair have not yet been filed, it is
certain that more than forty OF Wis
consin's seventy-two counties will make
exhibits at the coming fair. The time
for filing is usually the latter part of
July or early in August, but we feel
sure of many entries because the coun-
ties have already ma lie appropriations
of from $500 to 81 900 for exhibits, and
have sent to me for information, stat
ing that they intend to make exhibits
this year.
County exhibits at the state fair, it is
pointed out by many, serve two-fold
purpose of adding greatly to the at
tractiveness of the state fair, and of
centerlng attention upon those counte s
which make noteworthy displays.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
A HUSBANDS DUTY.

a very grave responsibility has the
man assumed in his marriage. Doting
parents have confided TO his care the
welfare of loved daughter, and a
trusting woman has risked all her fu-
ture happiness in his keeping. Large
~ will it depend upon him wether her
pathway shall be strewn with thorns
or roses.
Let your wife fully understand your
business. In nearly every case she
will be found most valuable adviser
when she understands all your crcum-
stances. If a dispute arises dismiss
the subject with a kind word and do
not seek to carry your point by discus
sion. 1t is glorious achievement to
master ones own temper You may
discover that you are in error, and if
your wife is wrong she will gladly, in
her cooler moments acknowledge the
fault.
Never neglect your wife for all the
world besides Never deceive; conf
dence once lost can never be wholly
regained. Never give all your pleas
ant words and smiles to strangers-the
kindest words and the sweetest smiles
should be reserved for home. Home
should be your heaven.
Never fail to tell your wife the truth;
if truthful you get your reward-you
get your punishment if you deceive.
Never fail to say kind, encouraging
word to your wife; praise and eucour-
age her. To keep her love, be kind
and loving-algays be a lover.
And last and above ALL to keep your
wife's love and respect be temperate
man. 1t would be difficult to love and
honor a man to whom she is compelled
to look down upon, who would drag
himself, wife and children down to
poverty, shame and disgrace. One and
all turn from excessive drinking. That
alone makes more misery, causes more
unhappy holIcS duu - Jllt greatest
curse on earth. God pity the poor
wife with an Incorporate man. Her
lfe's happiness will be completely des-
troyed by such union. Bettera thou
sand times the single, free and indie
pendent madenhood than married to a
man addicted to dissipated habits.
Don't 60 down town every night to see
a man, and then expect your wife to be
all smiles when you come home.
