THE CRISIS IN WISCONSIN

Golfers Weekly: A campaign O.
national Importance is waging il
Wisconsin. The forces which have
carried this most progressive Of Am
erican CONFERENCE.-The forward tC
achievements which are envied hel
by intelligent people everywhere
are fighting for political existence
again The standpat forces are now
calling attention to the fact that
taxes have risen. The progressive
forces admit this, but, after show
ing that most of the increases are
to be found in those local taxes
which the people in the counties
and towns have levied upon them
selves, retort that if the state has
spent more money it has bought
something with the funds. 1t has
the greatest of American universities,
they say; the best laws in all the
states; the most wonderful body OF
experts administering these laws.
"Where," they ask the people, do
you wish us to retrench? Shall we
cripple the university? Shall We Grip
pie the railway commission? Shall we
cripple the industrial commission?
Shall we cripple any of these great
commissions ?" While economy is al
ways to be considered, the answer
Of the voters will be looked upon
everywhere as a test of their intel
ligence.
Wisconsin is in the heart of that
portion of the map which the bus
mess experts show as enjoying good
times. Much Of the states solld
prosperity may be accounted for on
the ground Of her peoples lntelll-
gence, and that intelligence has been
gained through generation OF
struggle for political reform. One is
reminded, when he looks at Wlscon-
sin, of Deuteronomy xxi, 1914,
which runneth:
He made him ride on the high
nlaces of the earth, that he might
eat the increase of the fields; ana
ho made him to suck honey out OF
the rock and oil out Of the fllnty
rock: butter of kline, and milk OF
sheep with fat Of lambs, and rams
of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
with the fat of kidneys of wheat;
and thou didst drink the pure blood
Of the grape.
But the revulsion against paying
for good government may sweep the
Standpatters in. William III. found
it easy to be popular in England
while he was king of a poverty
stricken land; when he had estab-
lished the Bank of England, restored
the currency, and beaten Louis XIV,
he lost his popularity. Moses tells
that, when Israel was in the pros
porous state described above, her
king fell away from his standards,
as the invisible" government hopes
the people of Wisconsin have done;
for Jeshurun waXed fat, and kicked.
But so far the Wisconsin folks have
never seriously kicked against the
forces of light and leading.

CRIPPLES RESTORED

! Children have a primitive and ever
savage intolerance of physical de
formity. Unfortunate fellow beings
victims of crippling disease, inspire
loathing where one might hope tx
find love and pity amongst civilized
people. While adults may have bet
ter control of themselvs, their hu
mainly is largely artificial and hence
is extremely fragile.
In Boston there is a magnificen1
| school for the training of crippled
children Pursuits and training are
devised to make these handicapped
children self-supporting and self-re
speeding citizens. A bus is provided
to carry the children to and from
school, Some children couldn't come
otherwise.
The principal told me during, q
visit that even those who could walk
with the aid of crutches were often
not safe alone on the street Able
bodied urchins attacked them, taunt-
ed them, and even snatched their
crutches away and left them help
less.
1t is generally accepted as a fact
that the viciousness of some famous
cripples has been defensive in part,
and in part retaliation for real
and fancied insults
A considerable proportion of de-
formity is preventable; practically
all can be lessened or compensated.
Hip disease and bunch backs, and
most stiff joints in children, are due
to tuberculosis. Cure OF the disease
and prevention of the deformity call
for prolonged and expert treatment.
Club foot, in infancy, is under prop
er treatment, over sufficiently
long period, entirely durable.
Infantile paralysis is incurable, but
much of the deformity can be pre-
vented and corrected. One Of the
most ingenious of operations has
been devised for the purpose. 1t con-
sists in reattaching muscles in q
manner which compels the unaffect-
ed muscles to do the work of the
paralyZed ones
Spinal curvature is a most stub
born defOrmity unless intelligent
treatment is begun Immediately when
it is discovered. In this stage it is
usually to be remedied by simple
corrective gymnastics persistently
carried out.
Bow legs and knock knees are i'm
portant mainly as they affect the
appearance of their owner. In the
present struggle for existence a
child should be freed from every pos
sible handicap. A misshapen body is
terrible handicap. In addition to
their own Importance, deformities
prepare the soil for other diseases
which may be due to unnatural liv-
ing conditions as regard exercise, etc
The Children's Hospital of Mil
waukee (philanthropic), the State
Public School for Dependent Children
and the Milwaukee County Hospital
and public institutions in Wisconsin
especially equipped and manned to
treat deformities. No deformity, nc
matter of how long standing, should
be assumed to be incapable of i'm
provement, except upon the advice OF
a competent surgeon.

Hop Growing in Lake Superior Re-

Experiments in the production OF
hops at Port Wing have been so sue
cessful that a number of farmers
there are planning to go quite eX-
tensively into their production. The
crop grown there last year was very
acceptable in the markets, and were
pronounced superior by growers in
the Pacific territory. This will add
another good crop in the northern
country.

Here was another woman who
must suffer for participating In
Harry Symone's sins, l thought
as I saw his mothers bent form
going out the doorway.
Not only the girl who was the
mother of Harry's children, but
also Eliene and Harry's mother
were to blame with him for this
catastrophe.
Harry's mother, by word and
manner, taught her son that ev-
cry woman who was below him in
financial and intellectual estate
should be proud to accept any
thing from his hands. and Eliene,
instead of being sweet as she is
now, was always nagging Harry
until he fled to the calmer, more
eomplacent woman, and Eliene
and Madame Symone must pay for
their mistakes almost as dearly as
Harry and the girl have done for
their sins.
That is one of the tragedies of
life. We must always pay for
mistakes-and we make them
nearly every waking hour.

PARIS, Aug. I1.-There's an
"uppishness" about the newest
midsummer hats that gives an
air of sauciness to even the de-
murest girls. Everything in the
way of headgear, at least, is up
tilted and small and pert.
The black velvet hat, like the
black velvet basque had it's origin
here in Paris, and though every
body easped at the thought of
wearing black velvet in summer
time, everybody Obediently bow
ed to fashions edict. And Il isn't
so bad after all. The basques are
sleeveless and eollarless, nothing
more than jumpers and the
hats are very light in weight and
when softened by a white aigrette
or wings of white tulle they lose
a good deal of their wintery
heaviness. oddly enough they
look smarter with summary
frOcks of lingerie and silk than
the IeghOrn and milan of former
seasons.
But the velvet hat has grown
rather eommOa-everybody had
a black velvet, so tickle fashion
threw everybody into a panic by
turning her favor to the small,
turban-like shapes which have
just made their appearance.
Very few of these are of straw,
black velvet. black and white tar
feta or white satin being the ma
terials invariably used in these
little chapeaux.
Even the seasons turn topsv
turvy when fashion wills It. q p
no one questions the ineongr
of wearing winter hats In
dog-days.

Why doesn't he get a df-

At is just for such couples
as you that the divorce should he
made impossible. Why don't YOU
take this matter I'm your own
hands and make your husband
realize his responsibility If you
do your duty i'm the home and
elsewhere he cannot get a di-
divorce even IL he wants 20, and
the time will come when he will
see the folly of it all. It is not
necessary for you TO be q Crouch
and you viii never accomplish
your purpose by naggfng.
So many women are on the
alert TO charm and attract a man
before marriage. but as soon as
the ceremony is said she lays
aside the colored cloak for one Of
gray. A married woman should
keep I'm touch with the outside
world as much as a single woman.
Form a chain of interest and
make yourself the center; your
