GENTLE FORCES OF NATURE
Wonderful Agents That Transform
Continents of Granite Into
Most Fertile Soil.

What adds to the wonder of the
earth's grist is that the millstones that
did the work and are still doing it are
the gentle forces that career above our
heads-the sunbeam, the cloud, the
air, the frost. The rains gentle fall,
the airs velvet touch, the suns noise
less rays, the frost's exquisite CRYSTALS,
these combined are the agents that
crush the rocks, pulverize the noun
tains and transform continents of
sterile granite into a world of fertile
soil
1t is as if baby fingers did the work
of powder and dynamite. Give the
clouds and the sunbeams time enough,
and The Alps and the Andes disappear
before them or are transformed into
plains where corn may grow and cattle
Craze.
The snow falls as lightly as down
and lies almost as lightly, yet the

EVIL IN MANIA FOR SPEED
One of the Greatest Defects in Mod
ern Life Is the Desire Always to
"Move Along"

1t is hurry in the morning, hurry at
noontime and hurry at night. Nerv-
Gus bodies wrought up to a certain
speed, fret away pleasure and good
nature just to keep up the pace. Re-
taxation becomes almost painful-rest
a farce. To be in any measure con-
tent one feels it necessary to be rush
ing along breakneck. No more is &C
complished, homes are not brighter,
children the happier, or lives made
more useful by all this rush. And
yet we keep it up.
One has only to watch the crowds
going to trains or cars to see the
working out of the speed mania.
Rights of others are forgotten, per-
sonal safety seems naught, just
crowd, push and get ahead. And,
strange to say, we do not get ahead
as quickly as we would if we were to
move in a leisurely manner.
Haste makes waste-we all know
that. And waste is expensive in the
extreme. Some persons are too busy
to attend to that which insures them
selves good health. They expect to
mend a broken auto tire hastily and
with no skill. This is an impossible
fly, but that is not taken into con-
sideration.
And so the haste and waste go on,
and some day comparatively young
men and women let slip from their
hands all that is useful and happy in
life. Their grasp has grown weak and
nothing can be held longer. All due
to the daily rush of eating, of work
ing. Of walking everything done
hastily, with only a thought for saw
ing an hour or two. In the long run
it is no saving to rush and hurry.
The average person knows this but
doesn't care to give it too much
thought. Think it over

consolidation of others, with a view
of reducing the cost of government,
and returning to a form of govern
ment in which the functions of gov
eminent shall rest more largely with
constitutional officers.
The message was read at joint
session of the senate and the assembly
III the house. Progressive members
If the senate and the assembly praised
the message insofar as it proclaims
for economy, but they speak of GER
tain sections of the message as de-
structive because the governor pro-
poses to do away with institutions
which came into existence under
the progressive regime. Conserva-
tive members say the message is
sound and sane and indicates that
the people have elected to the gov
ernorship a man of business affairs
who will try to conduct the affairs of
state with the same careful judgment
exercised by men in private life in the
handling of private business.
For Economy at University.
An early contest is expected in the
legislature over the state university.
Gov. Philip in his message takes the
position that the legislature should
pra ctice greater economy in voting
money for the university. He believes
that if present accommodations at the
university are adequate that no money
should be appropriated for new build
iugs, in fact, that money appropriated
by the last legislature for building
operations should not be turned over
to the university unless the proposed
buildings are necessary. The govern
or also dealt with the out-ofstate
student who comes to Wisconsin to
receive an education. To offer educa.
tional facilities to the boys and girls
of the world, he said, is work for pri
vately endowed institutions rather
than for the taxpayers of Wisconsin
In this matter, however, the governor
did not outline a definite policy. but
suggested that the subject be given
careful consideration.
Following a suggestion made in the
governors message. Senator q. r.
Ackley of Chippewa Falls has drafted
q new waterpower bill, which he saws

it looks as if any baby could run one and run it successfully, even more sue. cessfully than the men who have given the best years of their lives to learn it.. This has been the cause of the loss of lot of money to people of little sense.
 There are several things that ought to be known about newspapers before criticizing them or getting the idea that you could do better yourself with out training or practice. In the first place it is easier to hll paper with rubbish than to keep rubbish out. A newspaper often deserves praise rather for what it keeps out than for what it puts in. Newspaper writing is not lit erature and is not supposed to be. If a newspaper ever paid most attention to the style of it's writing it would soon cease to be a newspaper. A newspaper is merely intended to give the news in plain, clear language and to make it's comments also clear and simple. What it publishes ought to be of general in terest and not something which satis- aes the faddish ideas of every calling and every sort of individual. The great difference between the successful paper and the unsuccessful paper is that one has character and common sense and the other has cheapness and weakness. Hard work is also neces- cary to make a paper stick, even in the smallest community. Otherwise a paper becomes eiipshod, careless and weak
 Because all that is required ofa paper are these simple qualities it seems easy. There is a story told of a valet of Sir Henry Irving who was threatened with dismissal and came back with the assertion that he didn't care, as be could go on the stage if he had to. Acting of the best kind is the acting that looks SO natural that no one can see the hard work aud training and eX- perience behind it. That valet was a fool and there are many such people, Seward Gateway.

The game was on the Treadwell grounds in the presence of the largest crowd of the season.

The Juneau Empire, in attempt to find an excuse for the loss of the Sun day ball game by Juneau, takes the liberty 10 question the rulings of the umpire, by giving perfect decison a decidedly wrong interpretation. Baxter was out at first for interfering with the ball he had buuted to the pitcher, by running at least twenty feet out of the line, and regardless of the position oo. oupied by Kertis. Kertis made a per feet throw to third and Dutton caught the ball, but it was knocked out of his hands by the runner and recovered by Dahl, but the runner was called out by the umpire because the coach used physical effort in the attempt to con trol his movements, a procedure not allowed under the rules of the game ae it is now played.
