OUT OF PLACE.

A joint resolution came to the
assembly floor. the. other day. iron the
senate which was in substance re-
quest addressed TO the Congress OF
the United States, for a national ap-
preparation adequate to relieve the
suffering and property losses caused
her tributaries. Mr.. Hambrecht took
the floor against the passage of the
resolution on the general theorythat
it is not the fuction OF a state leg
islature TO consider matters of fed
eral appropriation, especially without
due elaboration and adequate call
for other state legislatures to make
concurrent demands. Mr. Hambrecht
very wisely suggested that if the
Wisconsin legislature is to engage
in the policy and practice OF advis.
ing the Congress OF the United States
what it should and should not do, it
would be well to set aside perhaps
two days q week for the considera-
ton of federal matters and then de

hEYS FOR HIN

Atty. F. W. Ca1kins has received
practically the united support OF the
Grand Rapids bar in his nomination
papers for the office OF Justice of.the
Peace. Mr.. Calkins has made a very
efficient justice and deserves the
support OF all right minded citizens
in the coming election. An attorney
OF standing and experience, he is
capable OF interpreting the law weigh
ing evidence. Appointed by Mayor
Cohen TO succeed John Roberts, re-
signed, MIR. Calkins has made AN en-
viable record in the short time he
has served as justice of the peace
Men OF this character are the kind
the right thinking citizens want to
see in such positions for it guaran-
tees efficient service and fair and
square deals to everyone. 1t seems
foolish and silly for any one to come
out and oppose Mr.. Calkins.

SEEING AN EXPOSITION

The pleasure and profit to be de-
rived from great show like the
Panama Pacific exposition, now open,
depends on the amount of common
sense possessed by the sight-seer.
Most people start out ON such an
undertaking in mood of.elation pro
duced by the stir and excitement OF
the scene. They walk and walk, con
scientiously studying guide books
TO feel they have seen it all. After
a time every new building finished is
left with a sigh of relief. The idea
seems to be not so much to see a
thing as to be able to tell other
people you have seen 1t.
The act of looking at objects in a
display may seem an easy, even in
dOleut process. But there is fatigue
in it. Art lovers say two hours in a
picture gallery win use them up com
pletely- The eye is delicate in
strument- Constant looking must in
yolve much nerve strain. Also PEG
pie walk distances they would not at
tempt at home
A great exposition like the Pana.
ma-Pacific exposition is a final tri-
umph of civilization If life were
not so rushed, one could easily spend
a month there and find pleasure and
food for new thought every day.
The tourist who gives it but week,
or often only few days, attempt
an impossible task. Fifty cents. worth
OF wheel chair a day may make all
the difference between the success
and failure OF his trip
II is a mistake TO try TO see
much. People should select and
choose. The little buildings where
distant states and nations make
their show are often the most Ne
warding OF all. They may have more
10 teach the haSty visitor than
some great palace OF industry, which
is more like what one can see in
the show windows of retail stores
nearer home

According to the Chicago superin-
tendent of public welfare, farmers
are Offering transportation and in
same cases board and washing, but
great many OF the unemployed re-
fuse to go to the farms. The pre-
Yious week 500 men visited the of
flee and demanded wonk of any
kind, yet 100 jobs on farms are not
taken up.
The reason commonly assigned VIII
men are not willing to move out of
large cities and take farm jobs,
is that they dislike to give up the
stir and life of the cities. The dark
and still country, without picture
shows and electric lights, seems
lonely and boresoms-
But perhaps many Of these men
are too indolent for the hand labor of
the farms, or are physically too
| weak, or feel that they are.
A man who had always lived a ratE
er idle Life once remarked. that he had
rather suffer severe pain than work
with his hands. This man had inner
tied a little farm whose fields were
weedy, its buildings lacked shimgling
and painting, fences wore down. He
was fond of reading poetry and phil
osophy, but there were rumors that
his family did not get enough to eat.
The hard lot of such men is not
| generally regarded as being as pa
tehtic aus they seem to think.
Many of the un lmployed look as if
they were victims of drugs or liquor.
They are making for soft jobs and
those not calling for muscle. The
| best way to show sympathy in such
cases is to take steps to prevent
the new generation from acquiring
the same habit
If a man is practically sure of reg
ular employment as soon as general
business starts up, it might be fool
iSh to move out on q farm Yet a
few weeks of outdoor labor This
spring following the plough anS exer
cising the spade might make a new

THE WORD EASTER

Easter to the French is known as
Pques; to the Scotch Psch; the
Danes Paaskes and the Dutch, Rasch
en-. St. Paul calls Christ our Pasch.
The English name is derived from
that of the old German or Saxon
goddess Of spring, Ostega or Eastre,
whose festival occurred about the
same time OF the year as the eelabra
ton of easter. When the early mis-
sionaries went to Britain they found
the people worshiping this godd ess
to whom the month of April, which
they called Easturmonath, was dedi.
Gated. The missionaries substituted
the Christian feast for the old hea-
then one, but they allowed the peo-
pie to give it the name OF thex
goddess,a and so the. word Easter came
to be used

SOCIETY MAKES ITSELF USEFUL

A dispatch from Hot Springs, Va,
the famous winter resort, notes that
society women are promoting the
Made in America movement. indie
pendence blue, and various fabrics OF
cotton or other American material
are being worn by social leaders. 1t
is an example that should be widely
followed.
The influence which women OF so
cial prominence might exert in this
direction is enormous. II would be
such an easy thing for the social
leaders in 2. dozen great cities, TO
pass around the word that it is strics
" the thing to wear American grown
and manufactured fabrics this sea
son.
The purchases made by such wo-
men easily become a matter OF pub
lie note. Clerks talk about ii 10 all
their customers. The idea spreads
from circle to circle and clique to

People are governed IN their daily
purchases by sentiment. There has
been a vague feeling for many years
that foreign made goods were bet

PUBLICITY A CURE
FOR IMMORTALITY

Chas. A. Lee, one of the able edi.
tors OF Minnesota, under the above
heading, says:
Publicity is the one sure ours
for immortality.
Vice Cann0 thrive when the spot
light is thrown on it.
The home newspaper does more t.
preserve the morals OF a community
than any other single factor.
An habitua attendant in the courts
fears publicity more than the posi-
biIity of b eng fined. Publicity is
the preventive OF vice.
The home newspaper should receiv
the uaHallOyed- support OF every cit
izen who is anxious to upife the
morals Of our community. '4F'
This newspaper works hand in
hand with the churches in all wor-
thy efforts TO make this eommu nifty
a better place. 1t supports all move
1nents tending to improve conditions.

press should cooperate in making
this clean town in which to live,
in which to bring up our children.
Every one should read this nswspa

1t would be easy to open q gamh-
ling den on the principal street of

publicity that would be accorded
such an undertaking. Illicit sailing
OF Intoxicating liquors would be easy

You can help make this a better
place in which to live, far better
home for your children, by cordial

Public sentiment will then be aroused
