CAPABLE OF DOING THEIR OWN THINKING

In recent issue the CENSOR express
ed regret that Assemblyman Rentz had
considered it expedient to vote in the
legislature with the eight other men
out of one-hundred members in opposi-
ton to consolidation of seven state COM
missions and boards into one, with three
men to administer them, as against
scores who govern their present activ-
tiles, saving to the state thereby ap-
preaching 500, 900. And again we are
compelled to express regret that As
semblyman ReDtz has such a short
sighted apologist in his home newspap-
er, the Westby Times, which in its last
issue occupied column of valuable
space in denouncing everybody as stall
warts, reactionaries and several other
kinds of high-brows who seek to cur
tail the enormous expense of state gov
eminent. Mr.. Rentz is not accountable
to the CENSOR for his official acts, Meth
er to the Westby Times, but to the
people of Vernon county. He is their
representative, and they have clear
right to judge of his services to them
and to the state. They are capable of
passing judgment notwithstanding the
loud and fractional cry of political muir
der on part of the Westby Times. We
entertain too high regard for our as
semblyman to believe that he desires
to be classed in the awkward and illog-
zeal position which the Times would
place him.
The CENSOR again suggests to tax
payers of the county that they scruti-
nize carefully the votes cast by their
representatives on the measures pend
ing before the legislature, and pass
judgment themselves as to who is and
who is not reaetionary on the far reach
ing problems calculated to reduce taxa
ton in Wisconsin. 1t ought not to be
counted as an act of treason if they do
this, nor will it be necessary to apollo
gize to the Westby Times or the GEN.
I SOR for so doing.

Road work by convicts is to be re-
sumed at once. Announcement was
made by the state board of control that
arrangements are in progress with the
county highway commissioners of sew
eral counties Of the state whereby some
$50 eonvicts will be placed to work on
the highways within the next two weeks
The counties in which the convicts will
be given work will all be counties close
to the penitentiary at Waupun, so that
the cost of transporting the convicts
will not be too large.

rHE LIrrLE FELLOWS GET CUT

One of the cheapest exhibitions of
penuriousness on the part of the great
government we have noticed in a long
time is the order to make up a deficit
at the expense of the lo'ger-paid en-
ployees in the custodian'e department
in public buildings. Ninety-s;x dollars
is thereby saved in Lacrosse, with six
persons earning an average of 50 a day
contributing SIC apiece, and the same
rule has been enforced in other cities.
The big fellows are untouched. We
haven't seen anything about President
Wilson docking the pay of William Jen-
uings Bryan, who draws considerably
more than 81 day and is away frem
Washington on money-making trips a
large part of his time. 1t is pleasant
to learn that the national government
is trying to save money, but it has
started at the wrong place. Let the
well paid idlers, rather than the poorly
paid workers. make up the deficit.-La
Crosse Leader.

Teach Mercy and Humanity

To VERNON COUNTY INSTRUCTORS
AND SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS: We
are interested in all humanity and in all
animal life. We cannot say we are
not, for all are dependent in one way
or another on others. Just few words
will get children interested. If they
are allowed to tell how they have help
ed some bird or animal in distress, it
will bring interest into the work.
Some one has said, 81 would not en-
ter upon my list of friends the man
who needlessly sets his foot upon a
worm" Let US use our influence so
that the boys and girls will not need
lessly take life or injure any creature.
Will you help? Every boy and girl who
is taught to be merciful to Gods crea-
lures is not apt to be unkind. Thank
ing you for using your influence in the
schools where it viii do the greatest
good, for | know you will.
A FRIEND TO ALL NATURE.

If Isn't Your Town It's You

If YOU want TO live in the kind of town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that really new.
It's knock atyourself when you knock
your town.
1t isn't the town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody els = gets ahead.
When everyone WORKS and nobody shirks

And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbors can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to see
Il isn't your town-it's you.

AGRICULTURAL SECTIONS BEST

A. l.. Sherman, new editor of the
Lancaster Herald, just out of Chicago,
tells his readers: The mayorality pros
perity parade the other day in Chicago
was tremendous affair and if inten-
tions are worth anything ought to raise
the pail hanging over business condi-
tions in the big city. TWAS hoped that
the beginning of spring would loosen UP
the wheels of industry that have beer
silent all winter, but the idlsness still
continues. People who are fortunate
enough to live in solid agricultural
community where conditions are really
better than normal have good cause
these days to feel thankful"
