Kenneth showed catholic taste in music, and the next
thing he trolled out ragtime song, all about girl
with whirl and cast in her eye, who kicked sky high
and did other amazing stunts.
Hubert at this seized his mother round the waist and
proceeded to kick sky high too. The little girls began

A chorus Of protest burst from the children and
Elizabeth said:

But Kenneth scrambled down off the bench, and

Those progressive members OF the
legislature who by their contemplate
methods have forced this long, expen-
sive session and have thwarted the ex-
pressed will of the people in every way
they could, have dug their political
graves in Wisconsin good and deep.
They think, stupid and blind partisans
as they are, that they are going to load
all the blame upon Gov. Phillip. But
when the big tax receipts of next win
ter roll up and the farmer and house
holder ask "Why is this?" they will
readily see where the answer lies and
who is to blame After all, the tax
payers must learn their lesson as we'll
as other folks. They must learn that
they were to blame years ago for fos-
tering this nest of betrayers of the
public trust, and that it is going to
take some time to get rid of the re-
suits of their own folly.
''SWeet are the uses of adversely If
only we pay proper attention to the
lessons they teach. Governor Philip
never stood so strong in public estima-
ton as he does at the present time,
because of the splendid fight for the
taxpayers that he has put forth. 1t

they come to next election, and they
will remember equally we'll the mem

trayed them.-FOrt Atkinson Union.

THE constantly increasing number of
automobiles driven on the public high
ways is naturally bringing constantly
increasing number of accidents and the
problem of eliminating these accidents
is one of the most pressing now before
the public. 1t is indisputable that more
strenuous measures for depressing fast
driving and careless driving of the
auto, whether by the speed-crazy, the
drunken or the foolish, are demanded.

President Wilson lost no time in
getting the written views of the legal
experts of the state department and
both written and oral communications
from Secretary of State Lansing as
to what the reply should be.
The president and Lansing dis
cCssed the American-German situa-

no comment except to indicate, as is
his desire, that there should be no
Speculation" on the reply.
This much is nevertheless known
as coming from official sources.
Lusitania Facts Not Debatabe.
The president and the secretary Of
state had no reason to again discuss
the physical facts with respect to the
Lusitania. That case is complete and
Interchangeable so far as facts are

The subjects of discussion between
the president and Lansing, it is as

but said it would mean putting off
getting the building started for two

anxious to see the work started at
