What Would You Do?

There are many times when one
man questions another's actions and
motives. Men act differently under
different circumstances. The ques-
tion IS, what would you do right now
II you had severe cold? Could you
do better than to take Chamb, r.ain's
Cough Remedy? 1t Is highly recon-
mended by people who have used it
for years and know Its value. Mrs. o.
T.. Sargent, Peru, Ind, says, "Cham-
berlain's Cough Remedy is worth its
weight ia gold and l take pleasure in
recommending it," Fer sale by all
dealers.

knows to be terribly and disgrace

knows to be terribly and disgrace
fully wrong.
Anyone, who, in the past, know
ingly committed a crime which, if
justice were done, would put him
behind prison bars or ostracise him
from the society Of decent people,
must suffer the consequences if at
times in after life he is reminded of
his gross misdeed. Be it heavy or
light there must always be some kind
of punishment in store for every
evil-doer. Any teaching that one
may commit a crime or moral sin
and be assured that in a few years
the marks Of it will be wiped from
his record and that his life will again
be without a blemish, is a teaching
that is as vicious as it is demoraliz-
ing. 1t is not the kind of teaching
that trains boys and girls to true
man and womanhood and never will
be.
The punishment, ofwhatever kind,
that the wrong-doer receives serves
as constant warning to do no
wrong. 1t serves to impress upon
the boy and girl, the young man and
young woman and others in every
stage Of life the importance of keep
ing alive in their hearts that little
spark of celestial fire called con-
science; Of being careful to do only
what is right in everything; of avoid
ing the pitfalls and snares set by evil
ones; of keeping honor and purity
far above wealth and place and pow
err, and OF trampling down every
habit Of thought or speech or act
that tends to blunt the moral sensi-
bilities.
1t is human to err. No one is
perfect. But the young person who
starts out right, guided by the
maxim that it pays to be good, and
that a spotless reputation is the
purest treasure mortal times afford,
is very likely to have no dark spots
on his record to look back upon and
to have his enemies fling in his face
as he progresses along life pathway.
1t is Christian to be charitable to
those honestly trying to live down a
dark past and to help them to forget
and to lead better lives, but how
vastly better it would have been for
them to have no dark past to live
down.

The purport Of the article is that
people who live in glass houses
should not throw ones" but it mis-
takes in presuming that everybody
lives in glass houses. /"
Mr.. CULLEN has done something
disgraceful once and, after the man
ner Of many such people, assumes
that everybody else has done like
wise.
He is like the man who calls all
men crooks. Such man SANDERS
every honest man when he makes
such an assertion, and he is either
slandering himself or he is telling the
world that he, himself, is a crook.
He is the kind who reasons that be-
cause dishonest men have beaten
him he must beat other to get even.
The man who thinks it is alright to
be CRATER because somebody else
gratis is not model citizen by any
means. There is SOM thing wrong
with such mans line of thinking.

He has no fixed principles to guide
him through the storms OF life, and

self and watches him &C cordingly.
Mr.. Quillen's advice to let the
past die, quit talking about it, and
forget it, is good. 1t is the way to
be kind and charitable.
But his article contains no advice
to the young to avoid anything in
their lives the thought of which
may cause them remorse in after
years. There is straight line
between right and wrong. When
prompted or tempted to do some
thing, everyone has the power
to ask his or her conscience the
question: Is it right? is it wrong?"
Conscience, if it is alive, will always
tell what is the right thing to do.
What we mean is that if Tom had
never beat his wife, had never stolen
A sheep, or put rock in bale of
cotton, he would not have had the
dark blot on his life to hide or for his
enemies to dig up out Of his past to
him in his later years.

In THE minds of a great many people
the Tampico incident is not a sufficient
excuse for setting the machinery of
war against Mexico in force. The time
is past for trivial reasons when one
strong act at the beginning of the in
dignities against American interests,
have ended all the brutality and butch

dnty to the flag than a salute from
Huerta. We demand recognition of
the rights of our citizens and an end of

OVER forty million dollars are invest
ed in automobiles alone in the state of
Wisconsin and there is approximately
one motor vehicle for every twelve
families, according to figures filed in
the secretary of states office. The
number OF automobiles that have been
licensed since January l is 10000 and
the number of motorcycles 1888. Es-
timating the average value of each car
at $1,000, one can see that $40, 900, 900 is
not high for the total value of automo-
biles in the state when it is considered
that the number of licenses will prob
ably reach 10000 before January l,
1915.

MOST people know in a general way
that large parts of the United States
have in the past been covered by the
ocean, but it is perhaps not so gener-
ally known that the continent is now
rising in some places and sinking in
others. There is every reason to be-
lieve that minor movements of the land
are constantly taking place. AS rule
the only available knowledge in regard
to the former submergence of an area
is derived from the marine shells and
other animals found in deposits laid
down by the sea. By the nature of the
fossils biologists are able to tell ap-
proXimately when the ocean invaded
the land.

WILLIAM L. EssMANN, close friend
and campaign manager for McGovern
two years ago, head of the speakers
bureau of the republican state central
committee in 1906, and formerly state
superintendent of public property,
Thursday commenced to serve a SEN
tence of fifteen months in the state
prison at Waupun for the crime of en-
bezzlement of funds of the state. Thus
observes Ellis Usher: ''It is something
more than personal fall. The men
who have thanked God that they were
not as other men, throughout their re-
cent command in politics in Wisconsin,
are too close to Billy Essmann' to be
free from responsibility from shat sort
of misgovernment. 1t is not an indi-
vidual matter"

Gov. MCGOvERN refuses to be caught
in the trap set for him by the LaFol-
lette faction of his party in calling a
special session of the legislature, and
gives some good reasons for his decis-
ion in answer to the state officers pc
tition. He says he can save four mil
lion dollars in next years taxes by
holding up appropriations not absolutely
needed that were voted by the spend
thrift legislature a year ago. Score

CONGRESSMAN have increased the al
lowance for secretarial hire from $1,000
to $500 year. AS a majority of con-
gressmen spend between $500 and 5000
year for secretarial work and put the
balance in their pockets, it would have
been much more helpful to put the sec
retaries on the government rolls and
allow them to draw the money directly.
This nominal raise to clerks is really a
private graft to congressman them
selves.

sidered as skin game, it is too gauzy

THE value of the mine output of lead
and zinc in Wisconsin in 1913 was
SIS, $40. 464, according to figures compiled

SEED time has come once more. By
the receipt of a package of garden
seeds the rural dweller is reminded
that the government at Washington
still lives. If it were not for this an
nual contribution to the postal deficit
some voters would not be conscious
that they have a congressman. If con-
gressmen must be given the privilege
of an annual gift to their constituents,
why not make it plug of tobacco OF a
book, How to Dance the Tango?
Such a gift would have the virtue of
utility at least.

BRYAN TAKES
PEACE FOR HIS
81 R N D n
Lows, NOT DREADNAUGHTS AND
SIEGE GUNS WILL BRING PEACE.
HITS LIQUOR. REFUSES A HUG
FROM YOUNG WOMAN.

Chicago Nov. 30.-"Love, not dread
naughts and siege guns, is to bring
peace to warning Europe" was the
text of sermon preached Sunday by
Secretary of State Bryan to Presby-
terians of Chicago, who filled a down
town theatre.
Nations which have been built on
force, have died" said Secretary Bryan.
Those which have trusted in armies
and fleets have gone down. Why do
not the nations learn that righteous
ness is mightier than dreadnaughts?"
Mr.. Bryan denounced the liquor
traffic.
1T is insanity to try to cure the
evils of society without stopping the
sources of evil" he asserted.
Secretary Bryan experienced an en-
barrassing moment during a reception
on the stage following his talk, when
young woman attempted to embrace
him. She was in line with dozens of
others, and when it came her turn to
be presented, she said
I'm Miss Lowe, your cousin, don't
you remember me?'
"Tm sorry, but don't think | ever
heard of you," said Mr. Bryan.
well, I'm your cousin" the woman
insisted, "and I'm going to give you a
hug"
She tried to place her arms around
his neck, but Mr.. Bryan seized them
firmly. Not yet" he declared mot
until our relationship Is more firmly
fixed"
Mr.. Bryan backed off and the young
woman was led away.

THE JIM GROW DECISION.

The opinion of the United States
supreme court in reference to the
Oklahoma Jim Grow law, which has
been expected for several weeks, was
handed down Monday To say that
an opinion was handed down does not
quite express it, as from the tele-
graph report of the proceedings 1t
seems that no decree was entered.
No change whatever in the law exists.
but the court seems to have gone
outside of the record and stated what
its opinion would be. The petition
of the negro plaintiffs was held in
sufficient and was dismissed If a
petition were properly brought be-
fore the court it would hold that
the Oklahoma law relieving railway
companies to furnish them sleeping
cars and dining cars and chair cars
to negroes would be unconstitutional.
There is nothing wrong with the
law of the state except that 1t at
tempted to relieve the railways of
burden which the legislature had no
right to do. The Jim Crow law is
effective, and the fight is to be be-
tween the negroes and the railway
companies.
The law compelling separate
coaches is not touched-it remains
the same. 1t has been upheld in
other southern states and will be up
held in Oklahoma, but the negroes
have a right to compel the railway
Companies to furnish them sleeping
cars, dining cars and chair cars for
their accommodation
1t is probable that the law needs
no change, but the legislature can
pass a curative act during the com
ing session this winter. AS far as
the people of the state are concerned
the law will remain as they have
heretofore understood it, the negroes
will have their separate coaches,
their separate waiting rooms, etc,
and the state and the railways will
move along just as they have done
since the law was first enacted.

years deserves to be ranked with the
artists of any country as a master of
the violine, is Miss Estelle Gray who
will appear at the nigh scnooI auditori-

numbers of the lyceum course.
Press notices of Miss Gray's per
formance are very flattering, and she
should be accorded the biggest audi

formance starts promptly at 500
o'clock tomorrow night.
