How Unreasonable!

Many business men actually believe
that spelling ought to be an accom-
plishment of the average college grad
uate. A young bachelor Of arts was re-
Gently put to work running small
printing press in the back room Of a
bankers office. He was to set up and
print a number of circulars to be sent
out to customers Of the house. When
the work was finished it was found to
differ decidedly from the standards of
spelling set by the late Messrs. Web
ster and Worcester. The young man
was summoned to an audience with
his chief The interview was not pleas
ant. and the young man showed as
much by his face when he rejoined the
rest of the office force.
whats the matter, JOhn|' some one
asked him.
Matter enough" replied John. 1.-THE
boss expects an educated man to spell
Just like blooming stenographer."

The Great Frederick's Joke.

The cars changing of the name Of
his second and more modern capital
from st. Petersburg to Petrograd may
be paralleled by the case of the new
palace" Potsdam, which the Emperor
Frederick decreed should henceforth
be known as Friedrichskron. This
new palace had been built by Freder
lex the Great at the close of his Seven
Years war just to show his enemies
that his exchequer was by no means
exhausted, and on it's cupola are three
nude figures, representing his chief
female foes-Maria Theresa, Elisabeth
of Russia and La Pompadour-with
their backs turned toward their respec-
tive countries, supporting his crown
of glory hence "Friedrichsl1ron." But
one of the first acts Of William IL. was
to restore to the palace it's original
Chronicle.

RObbing the Thrifty.

There is vicious, despicable senti-
ment abroad among the people and to
a certain extent it extends to the Con-
gress and the state legislatures. 1t is
this, that the law-making powers are
justified in overtaXing the thrifty,
well-to-do classes in order to lessen the
burden on those who have less means.
In other words, it is the Robin Hood
principle of robbing the rich by law,
for the benefit of the poor. The income
tax and now the emergency war tax
are based upon that principle. The
monetary gain to one class of popula-
ton blinds their eyes to the danger to
them in the future that lies in it. 1t
has always been a maxim of law in this
country that all taxes should be uni
form in their per cent. That is, that
the poor should pay no larger per cent
of taxation than the rich. That is the
true spirit of democracy. But the
poisonous element of socialism has
crept in to poison this spirit of true
American democracy and now we are
told in effect that one class is justified
in robbing another class. We are Civ
ing ourselves up to the idea in legisla-
ton of dog eat dog. FIT. Atkinson

duction and the opinion of the stories.

The defeat OF the ten amendments
to our state constitution is stronger
evidence of antagonism to progressive
ism than is the election of Philip. for
the issue on them was not clouded by
personal matters and considerations,
such as generally thrust themselves in
to contests of candidates for office.
Their defeat shows plhinly that if all
our fad laws creating new Offices,
boards, bureaus and commissions, had
been up for referendum vote, they
would have suffered the same fate that
befell the proposed constitutional
amendments When our legislature
clothed state officers and the different
boards and commissions with the power
to fix the salaries of their subordinates,
salary raising at once became the order
of the day at the capitol. The defeat
of the proposed constitutional amend
ments ought to convince those who
have been loudly proclaiming their de-
votion to the initiative, referendum and
recall, that the people are not anxious
to exchange our fo-m of government
for that of Switzerland. Truly, the
wisconsin idea" has been given a
much deserved setback to the everlast-
ing benefit of those who have been
taxed poor to maintain it. Progress
siveism of our peculiar, money-consum-
ing brand is word no politician with
modicum of horse sense will hereafter
dare to use. 1t goes into the junk, a
useless, worthless contrivance, danger
Gus to honest, economical government
and inimical to the best interests Of
our state If other states are DESTROYS
of immolating themselves on the altar
of experimentation, let them go ahead
with the undertaking as fast as they
want to, but as for Wisconsin. let it be
known that we went the limit, and are
now beating it back, looking for the
forks of the road where we saw the
last guide board before plunging ahead
on the unbeaten highway of COVER
mental phantom chasing. = Stoughton

THE manufacture of incandescent
lamps has been added to the list of
Wisconsin's large industries. The plant
of the Kissel Car Co. at Milwaukee,
consisting of five large buildings occu-
plying about five acres, has just been
purchased by the Westinghouse Lamp
Co with factories in New York and
Bloomfield, New Jersey, to be used as
a western lamp factory. The plant
will manufacture six hundred thousand
Mazda lamps every month and provide
employment for over six hundred peo-
pie.

Music of the Drum,

Musical authorities seem agreed that
when used in proper way the drum
is thoroughly musical. The common
snare or side drum is freely used in
musical composition. A large number
Of drummerS performing simultaneous
ly out of doors produce good music. In
this connection Berlioz, the composer,
pointed OSIt that q sound that was in
significant when heard singly, such as
the clink Of one or two muskets at
shoulder arms or the thud as the butt
comes to the ground at ground arms,
becomes brilliant and attractive if
performed by thousand men together

PASTOR RUSSELL, speaking at the
New York City Temple recently, laid
two heavy charges against the sects of
Christendom and especially against the
preachers. He declared the present
war largely the result of false religious
teachings. The Gar of Russia, inn
pulsed by the erroneous theologies of
the Dark Ages, believes it the mission
of Russia and the Greek church to con-
troll the world, and views the present
war as a step in that direction. Sim
ilarly, King George V, head of the
British nation and the Church of Eng
land, imagines similar destiny for his
nation and church. Finally, Kaiser
Wilhelm III publicly tells his army and
the Lutheran church of Germany that
he is ordained by the Holy Spirit as the
sword of the Lord to punish, to destroy
Opposers of German progress, whose
destiny, he believes, is world wide.
Centuries ago the kings of Europe were
told that they were the sword of the
Lord and of the church; and they still
believe it. Christian teachers have
long ago gotten free from those delu-
sions, but they have not undeceived the
kings and the peoples. Their neglect
of their duty is largely responsible for
this war.

How the Wisconsin commission, the
industrial, can be eliminated was dis
closed to the national conference of ex-
ecutives by Governor Fort of New Jer-
sey. Let the courts do the work of the
commission. In New Jersey that is the
method, and the compensation law
there is administered, so he declared,
in most satisfactory manner to all
parties. When an injury occurs, the
victim fills out statement giving the
facts in the case. Blanks are furnish
ed by the state. 1t is perfectly sim
pie process. The document is then
presented to the court of common
pleas Existing courts have been ade-
quate, and there has been no embar-
rassment whatever on their part or an
undue consumption of time in the adj
ministration of the law. The machin-
cry is all there 1t was in operation
before the compensation law was en-
acted, and execution of the act by this
method entails no additional expense
whatever. How different from Wis
consin where we have an elaborate and
growing commission whose cost for the
two years 1914-15 will be some $240, 600!
In New Jersey the cost is nothing!

''THE state university is out of poll
tics" President Van Hise told the gov
errors convention the other day. To
which ex-Speaker Merlin Hull remarks:
F'Sure, the state university is out of
politics now, and it will continue to be
out of politics for about two months,
until the bunch can size up the next
legislature and figure out how to put
things through It. Tammany is going
out of politics very soon in New York,
but it will continue to be the same old

IT is said that the German invaders
of Belgium, whatever else they may
have destroyed, have been careful not
to injure park trees. The cavalrymen,
so a report goes, are forbidden to tie
their horses to trees for fear that the
animals will gnaw the bark. Germany
was the first nation to apply forestry
on a large scale, some of the crown
forests having been under scientific
management for over hundred years.
