In Milwaukee Tuesday evening,
at a meeting of the Milwaukee
Medical Society, there was heat
ed discussion between a priest and
a doctor over sex instruction in the
schools, the priest opposing and
doctor favoring such instruction.
The argument became so personal
that the opinion was expressed by
the clergyman that the doctor
ought to be taken out and beaten
up" for his statements relative to
the church. 1t is to be presumed
that the priest knows nothing
about sociology and the doctor
equally ignorant of theology -but
the priest was right. Sex instruc-
tom should be kept out of the
schools and left to the parents to
impart to the boys and girls.

Senator LaFollette's resolution au-
thorizing the president of the Unit
ed States to call a conference of all
neutral nations to cooperate in
seeking the restoration of peace in
Europe, said in part:
The idea of conference of neu-
trail nations TO work for the resto-
ration of peace may be a good one,
though the warning nations appar-
emily are not yet ready to accept
the help of outsiders in settling
their quarrels. But such a con-
terence is likely to prove profit
less if nothing better is presented
for its consideration than the views
of Mr.. LaFollette as given by him
to the senate.
The author of the resolution is
wrong in asserting that the highest
authorities regard limitation of
ornaments and prohibition of the
expectation of arms and ammuni-
ton as fundamental to permanent
peace. Limitation of ornaments
is practically out of the question
until provision is made for some
international agency to do the po-
lice work of the world and to check
the swashbucklers among the ma
tons, a subject not even mentioned
by senator LaFollette. Most peace
advocates who have had anything
to say on the subject have taken
precisely the opposite view to that
expressed by Senator LaFollette
Instead Of agreeing that the sale
of war supplies should be stopped,
they have come more nearly to an
agreement against such course
as being a menace to the peace low
ing nations, In that it would COM
pei them to adopt the policy of
preparedness, which is the curse
of the nations dominated by the
spirit Of militarism. The cause of
peace is not promoted by such su-
perfical gallery PLAYS as The sena-
tor from Wisconsin is staging at
Washingtonn."

Ex-President Taft is man of

Ex-President Taft is a man of
ability, but sometimes goes off
halt-cocked. In an address at
Cincinnati he is reported to have
said:
Parents are not qualified to
pass upon the results of a. public
school system in town, county
or district in such a way as to
make their opinion the best cri-
terion." Money is spent lavishly
to maintain our schools. Ie have
academies, normal schools, colleg-
es and universities where thous-
aids of young men and women are
being educated and as a result we
have the best common school sys-
tenn in the world. In every town.
village and city are many gradua-
ties of the higher institutions Of
learning who are more competent
to decide what is best for the
schools than the impractical fad
dists who would make our schools
a nursery for foolishness.

Remember. 1T Is More Blessed
to Give Than Receive.

In these trying days, we should
all remember the old scriptural say
ing, that it is more blessed to
give than receive" Many a man
today is being buffeted about on the
waves of adversely. Because a man
applies at your home for a little
food, it cannot be granted that he
is a worthless vagabond preying
upor the thrift of those he may be
asking aims. To be sure, the ever
present hoboe is still on the job
working the public and to avoid
anything and all that savors of
physical exertion. But be charita-
BILE. There is strong competition
now for the men who make a pro-
fession of begging. 1t was only
few days ago, a young man about
eighteen years OF age applied at a
we'll known Watertown home, po-
litely asking for something to eat.
The good housewife read the young
man, so to spead. She took COM
passion upon this poor, unfortu-
note soul. With apologies for the
fact that the appeal had been made
at time of day when the family
larder was somewhat depleted, she
nevertheless did the best she could j,
giving him number of slices of
bread and cake-a "hand-out'' the
professional would turn his nose
up at. The young man accepted
offering and his countenance and
words expressed his gratitude. Be
charitable, gentle reader. Remem-
Der that a tender heart and de-
serving soul may be concealed be-
meath rags and tatters. Look deep
er than the outward appearance for
the character of man. When a
wandering and seeming friendless
individual seeks aid of you, don't
deal a rebuff only to harden him
in his own mentality against his
fellow-men. If satisfied that the
seeker after aims is deserving, give
him the aid and impart words of
encouragement, ever bearing in
mind that worthy admonition to
love thy neighbor as myself. !"
Thus we help to make the world
brighter and better.

Latest Reform SWindle.

Our assemblyman, H. ]. Grell,
as chairman of the committee on
agriculture, has caused to be start
ed an investigation of the recent
purchase by the regents OF the state
university of tract of land, sup
posedly 146 acres OF land at $I75,
600, the land being for the state
agricultural school for agricultur-
al purposes. 1t develops that on
the basis of I46 acres, the state IS
"heeced" to the tune of 81, 200 per
acre, also that in running lines, the
surveyors report only II3 acres IN
the tract, and again that the land
is marshy, sandy and bluffy. An
interesting feature in connection
with the transaction is, that one OF
the university regents at one time
owned the land. This is another
of the many illustrations that re-
forms come high in Wisconsin, all
of which is boomerang to God S
patient poor" who, according to
the almighty LaFollette and his
disciples, were so solicitous of the
welfare of the downtrodden tax
payer, only a few years ago were
paying less than half the taxes
they are today and the cost OF state
government was a third of what it
is at the present time. The pro-
portion in population has only been
in the capital city and that in an
army of political henchmen. The
dawn of brighter day is seen IN
the elevation of Emanuel L. Phil
lip to the governorship and the
personnel of the present state leg
islature. Go after them Mr.. Grell,
go after them! The people OF the
state are with you. The refor-
mers of old have long been on
the defensive. They realize now
that their careers are about at end
and like the unlegalized bad &C
tors in frenzied financing, they are
playing the public for big game
in their political descendency. The
voters, however, are wising up.

The Only Republican Fighting
His Party.

In an editorial last week we spoke
of the sore disappointment every
true republican in Wisconsin feels
at the faithlessness of LaFollette,
who is so foolishly conceited as to
think that it will be to his ever
lasting glory to stand aloof from
the other republicas in the Senate,
as he has always done.
Earl Goodwin, Washington cor
respondent of the Milwaukee Sun
day Sentinel, speaks hopefully of
the prospect of an immediate COM
ing together of all the elements of
the Republican party in both the
House and Senate with but one ex-
ception. That exception, he SAYS,
is LaFollette. What strange
makeup he is. He reminds us of
a remark Capt. Lu Drury once
made of certain public man in
Wisconsin. The captain said he
was a nine spot; neither high nor
low nor worth damn for game.
Did history ever record a man
like LaFollette, possessing excep-
tional talent, but utterly unable to
work with or for anybody but him
self? We may be sure of one
thing, that is if the Republican
party In this state and in the ma
ton ever is united upon any line
OF public policies they can count
on LaFollette as an enemy, and a
bitter one at that, unless he can
be allowed to rule the roost. Isn't
it about time that his followers in
Wisconsin saw the handwriting on
the wall? There will be no future
for them as long as they follow
him. Jefferson County Union.

WAR, ON DISEASE To OPEN

 Birmingham. Ala, April 22--A civ i1ization greater than that now in the temperate zone will be built in the tropics as a. result of conquering dis ease, according to Major General Gorgas, of the medical department of the United States army This prediction was made by him in an address before the Alabama Medical association here yesterday.

 The efforts of the police and cavalry to disperse the crowd were fruitless- Finally fifty of the ringIeaders were arrested, but the rioters stoned the troops and shouted Long Live Ita1y!'' The crowds reassemb1ed in the main square of the city and assumed a threatening attitude, which compelI- ed the police to release the prisoners. Meanwhile the crowd. shouting re- peatedly. Long live Ita1yl' stoned the Palace Hotel, a resort to the ni1i- tary, smashed windows and wrecked shops and again fell to stoning the troops.
