many of the keyholes of their doors

Faculty Is Angered.
II is needless to say that the
faculty was somewhat angered and
as a result of this anger II was
announced in general assembly this
morning that the intersociety de-
bate was indefinitely suspended.
The debate cup presented to the
high school by the Social Science
club. to be contested for by the
societies, has been removed from

On The Merit Roll.
Those who make up the general
merit roll were, announced as being
Harrison Schmitt, Guy Cahoon and
Harold Northrup. These people are
elected by the faculty to these places
not on basis OF scholarship but on
general merit as displayed in their

IMMIGRATION is one of the most i'm
portant problems which confront the
American people. While the country
needs strong men and women in its de-
velopment, we are securing too large a
proportion of the other kind. The in
spection at our ports of entry is too
rapid to permit of as thorough an ex-
animation for disease, mental defects
and degeneracy as is desirable. Intel
ligent admission or exclusion is of far
reaching Importance, inasmuch as it is
now we'll established fact that today
mental degeneracy must affect the
sanity and stability of future genera
tions. According to the report of the
United States Immigration commission,
''there are in the United States many
thousands of insane or feeble-minded
persons of foreign birth" President
Wilson has disapproved of the proposal
to make the ability to read one of the
tests of fitness of the immigrant. The
Investigations of the above commission
have shown that literacy is no guaran-
tee against insanity or mental degener-
acy. On the contrary, the report says,
''In general, the nationalities furthest
advanced in civilization show, in the
United States, a higher proportion OF
insane than do the more backward
races"

THE Unites States Public Service has
just issued an 18 page pamphlet on
''Scarlet Fever, It's Prevention and
Control" which ought to be thorough
ly read and circulated by every parent,
health officer, school superintendent,
teacher and librarian in the state. This
publication is sent free upon request to
the above named department, Wash
ington, D. c., until the allotted num-
Der of free copies is distributed, after
which time a charge of but five cents
per copy will be made. Were the in
formation set forth in this splendid
booklet understood, and the teaching
religiously followed, hundreds of chill
dren, now doomed to die of this dis
ease, would be saved. School boards
and other public officials can effect a
great saving of the taxpayers money
by substituting such easily acquired
knowledge for existing and very costly
ignorance. Invest postcard and a
few minutes of time and let Uncle Sam
do the rest.

DEMOCRATS of the legislature are
rising to the emergency splendidiy.
They are frankly and cordially cooper
ating with Governor Phillip to effect
economy and simplicity in government.
Indeed, they are acting in trul y pa
triotic spirit, subordinating party to
the public welfare. No such laudable
spectacle has been witnessed in Wis
consin since war times; and what a
royal homecoming awaits these honor,
able, upright, public-spirited men!
Clearly they know what they were
elected for-to reduce taxes and to
bring back government to a plain dem
Ocratic basis. Madison Democrat.

LOCAL exhibitors at the National
Dairy show, Chicago, last October,
whose prize herds were ordered slaugh-
tered and afterwards placed in quaran-
tine, where they are now held, were
notified last Wednesday that the gov
eminent had needed the appeal for re-
endorsement which animated from
Waukesha and had appropriated S25O, :,
900 for that purpose. 1t was intlmated
that at the next session of congress as
much more as will be needed to pay the
losses sustained through the preserva-
ton of the dairy prize herds will be APP
propriated. The apportionment was
made in the senate committee, which
had the budget for the Agricultural de.
partment in hand. The provisions OF
the Cooper bill were attached to the
appropriation bill by the senate com
mittee, in half the sum asked, for the
purpose of getting some part of the ap-
preparation through this session. -Wau-

AssEMBLYMAN NELSON h

ASSEMBLYMAN NELSON has intro
duced a bill which deprives any state
commission or board of all authority in
the control or management of public
utilities owned and operated by munic-
qualities, such as waterworks and light
ing plants. We believe Mr.. Nelson's
position is well taken. The local gov
eminent is better acquainted with the
needs of its own village or city than
the far removed state body. The in
reference of state commissions and
boards in local affairs so far has rested
in only red tape and increased expenses
of management. Complicated book
keeping and multiplicity of reports as
required by the state commissions have
brought local management to such a
state that people will not serve in local
offices except for greatly increased sal
aries. Every municipality has local
conditions which do not fit well into a
blanket state government, and there
can be no good reason why munich
pality should yield up the management
of its strictly local affairs to any out
side government. II is this useless in
reference in local affairs too that has
so greatly increased the cost of our
state government. So that cutting off
the state control will result in two ben
efits-better local management and
more economical state government. =

THE special legislative investigating
committee have turned in four bills re-
organizing and consolidating twenty
department commissions and boards OF
the state, all in line with the admins
tration's program of economy. If the
functions of these twenty minor boards
and commissions can be efficiently car
ried on or eliminated by four new COM
missions, long step will be taken to-
wards saving in state expenses. Let
the good work go on. Gov. Phillip IS
turning his best endeavOrs towards
making good his prediction promises.

THE Wisconsin idea terminated some
fourteen years ago. The state expen-
ditures were $4,000, 900 per year. The
idea-which was that Utopia is merely
a question of putting platitudes and
good intentions into legal phraseology
began to expand. So did the ex-
penditures. The idea developed into
the attempt to make statute book the
father and mother of the common
wealth. The expenditures trotted right
along to keep pace with the prodigious
buncombe. The idea hired those most
fitted for meddling by virtue-or rather
by the antithesis of reform tendencies
to inquire into the business of all other
people. The expenditures paid the sal
aries. The idea pQstulated that only
physicians were qualified to select
husband for the blushing maiden. But
eugenic infants didn't win any special
prizes at the baby shows. The idea
grew into an enormous political ma
chine with a steam roller. But the cit
izenry was weary. Wisconsin was re-
garded as the Jester of the union; its
reforms had failed in everything but
expense. What the state wanted was
some good, old-fashioned conservatism,
and an old-line republ1can-Emanuel l..
Philipp-a business man who never held
office or wanted it was nominated and
elected. All of the freak amendments
and propositions submitted on the bal
lot were clouted over the head and
knocked out Wisconsin was vindicat-
ed. Conservatism was restored to the
high place of authority, and the re-
formers, with nothing else for them to
do. are minding their own business

Texas Letter

Leakey, Tex, Nov. 90, 1915.
Editor Star Herald:
In square miles, Real County,
Texas, Of which Leakey is the
county seat, is just about as big rs
the 10th judicial circuit of Arkan-
sas, but in population, Demun
township has got it bested. There
are now probably four or five hun
dred voters in the county. Most Of
the land is mountainous, and devot.
ed to stock raising. Three rivers,
however, split the country open and
the valleys are fertile for farming.
The people here do not know as
know as much about farming as
they do IN Arkansas-if they did
they would soon get rich. All they
want here is little hay and a few
goats and hogs, a good easy living
without work. One man here raised
several thousand bushels of corn
this year and is supplying the entire
country with corn at rs cents per
bushel at the CRIB. i am not mis-
representing the country in the
least when / say 1t is the best place
in the world for farmer to make
money If he would only cultivate
his land.
The deer season lened here Nov.
/, and it is just as common to see
man coming in now with buck in
his car as it is to see squirrel in
Pocahontas. | killed a nice buck
on my first trip out last week and
was gone less than half a day. Saw
tour more, but was so anxious to
get home with the one / killed, didn't
wait to shoot any more. These old
hunters guyed me for using a shot
gun, but | got one "on the wing"
at so yards, just the same. 1t Is
just as common for me to kill a
wild turkey as it was to kill a quail
in Arkansas. Although the turkey
season doesn't open until Dec. /,
the deputy sheriff and | killed four
Thanksgiving morning.
This Is truly a white mans cOun-
try, no negroes or Mexlcans here,
and the people are so friendly they
make us think we were born and
reared here. The climate here Is
ideal. No rain since September,
although we did have heavy frost
and some ice on Nov. Is. | have
gained Is pounds since / came here
and am feeling like a four year old.
With best regards to all my.
friends in old Randolph, | beg to
remain, Very truly,
