CONGRESSMAN ESC6 and TIE
Mexican War
LA Crosse Tribune)

Ld O1O6SS 1I1OOI1CJ
"The Mexican situation is many
times more serious than as told the
American people through the meager
press reports they receive" is the
declaration of Congressman John J.
Esch.
ARMED intervention would have
been the proper procedure at the be-
ginning of the trouble, he said, cal
though it is best now to get along in a
peaceable manner.
Food should be sent by the United
States to the starving people in Mexico
City, but this country must have as
surances from General Carranza that
the lives and property Of the Americans
ia that city and elsewhere in Mexico
will be held inviolate."
While not speaking directly of the
"watchful waiting policy" of the pres
ent administration, Congressman Esch
said that the terrible condition of af-
fairs pointed to a dire need of inter
vention of some sort.

Former President Taft is advocating
a national university but the idea is not
new. A news paper writer says it was
urged on Congress by President Wash
ington He also left legacy for its
endowment in his will, together with
an argument in favor of educating the
youth in America instead of sending
them to Europe. The great state uni
versities and the richly endowed uni
versi;ies under private management
have removed the chief necessity, as
seen by Washington, but there is still

II World for re r jCh

Some people are worried because the
rich spend the money as they do. How
would you spend your wealth if you
were rich? Asman's inclination goes
in the CORRECTION of least resistance.
If he desires to have a race horse, a
fine yacht fancy farm, to travel or
speculate in stocks, he may do any of
those mentioned. He should exercise
his inclnations in such way that his
dollars will not continue to multiply.
Many in America think that fortunes
should be limited and since that has not
been done the most natural way is for
those with plenty ofimoney to spend it
literally. Many of the unfortunates in
Europe would be IN sorry plight were
it not for the rich people in Ameri
ca. True, it is, that many with limited
means have given literally, but Rookie
Teller andiothers have contributed mil
lions. Let the rich spend their money
as literally as they will and for what
ever they will Their dollars will lubri-
cate the channels of trade, bringing
happiness to the vast army of workers.
Let the rich spend as much as possible,
it is good for them and for the world.

Lost
Crank Lowater)

Lost on the field Of battle,
Lost is the word they send.
Lost when the men are 'numbe red,
Lost at the battles end.
Lost to a waiting mother,
Lost in manhOod's bloom,
Lost to the wife who loved him,
Lost in a nameless tomb.
Lost to the babes that need him,
Lost is his guiding hand,
Lost is the strength they needed,
Lost to his native land.
Lost when the fight grew hottest,
Lost where winged death flies,
Lost was the position fought for,
Lost under naked skies.
Lost in a damp thick jungle,
Lost where the Wood Nymphs play.
Lost where the ferns grow rankest,
Lost from the light of day.
Lost like a million others,
Lost e'er their race is run,
Lost in battles carnage,
Lost with life's work undone.
Lost is the life God gave them,
Lost is the power he gave.
Lost is their worth without measure,
Lost in a nameless grave.
Lost when his love was needed,
BY a wife and children, dear,
Lost but the angels from heaven
Marked his grave with tear.

who comes to us for position is totally
uneducated, her years of school life
have failed to teach her the mere rudi-
ments of a business career. The
primary tools Of reading, writing and
arithmetic have been placed in her
hands with such blunted edges that
they are Of little value, and the basic
qualities of accuracy, concentration,

spicuous by their absence"

Turn Oo60r1 Pastor Russell

Pastor" Russell excels as a persist
ent, an ingenious and delusive propa-
gandist through books, newspapers and
pamphlets, to say nothing of moving
pictures, says the United Presbyterian.
Probably in.thousands of homes of good
orthodox church people his books have
found place on library shelf or sitting
room table through spacious and mis-
leading titles and Astounding quotations
from the Bible. There appears to be
no limit to his resources for paying
printers bills and advertising in the
newspapers. In leading dailies through
out the country two or three columns
are published each Monday, giving the
''ser mon" which the pastor"
delivered on the preceding Sabbath.
The arrangement is such that the mo-
notonous, dreary stuff has the appear
ance of regular news report, but it is
paid for at usual advertising rates
Two Chicago papers which had been
publishing the matter have announced
that they will do so no longer. The
reasons assigned by one of the papers
had to do with alleged business and
domestic irregularities.

Mrs. Olive Chestnut.

The smallest and most inexpensive
homestead ever recorded by the Inter-
ior Department is that of woman who
filed last week on 800 of an acre near
Turtle Lake, Mimi, at an expense of
ten cents. Yet such is the growth of
real estate values nowadays that in a
few years her homestead probably will
be worth several dollars.

only the males which talk. The females
never utter word.
Mr.. Hopkins further added that pro-
badly the bird now in Baraboo was fe-
male crow and that it might be neces-

talking bird. He further added that in
these Democratic times one never
could tell what he was getting and
furthermore that some people had re-
