Great Pacifists Become Bellicists of

A widely known pacifist goes to the great peace pow-Wow at Lake Mo- honk and electrifies the audience there by advising the people of the United States to prepare for war.

HOW TO SPELL name
OF The BADGER STATE
"WiSkonSan'' Correct, as Shown
by an Old Document.

Fond du Lac, s.-W-i-s-k-o-n-s-a-n
seems to have been the perfectly prop
er way OF spelling the name of this
state in the old territorial days back
in "A.
Many pioneer residents of the state
can remember when Wisconsin was
spelled that way, but w. f. Sealey,
county clerk. has discovered a docu-
ment which provides better evidence
than memory. 1t is a certificate of
election issued to Paul D. Hayward as
justice of the peace in the township of
Stockbridge, dated June 2. 1874, and
signed by Duane Doty. then territorial
governor.
Each of the three peoples who have
successively occupied the state. Indi-
ans. French and Anglo Saxons, have
left us in their names record of their
first impressions and sometimes even
trace of legendary history.
The name of the state and of it's
greatest river, Wisconsin. is a corrupt
ed form Of an Indian term whose ex-
act meaning is now unknown, though
it has usually been translated "gather-
ing of waters" Ouisconsin. Wiscon-
sing, Ouisconching. Ouiskensing. Wis
kcnsan are few of the spellings
which appear in old documents and on
time stained maps before the present
form was evolved.
The name of the largest lake within
the state. Winnebago. suggests an in
teresting history of the Indian tribes
whence it came. The original Algon-
quin form was "ounipegou," meaning

name which the tyibe gained from
having originally dWelt on the shores
of Lake Winnipeg. we'll known for it's

F0CH HON0RED
BY KING GEORGE
Comparatively Unknown General

HERO OF TWO BIG BATTLES

Strict Censorship Keeps Many Brave

Them-How He Accepted High Office
From President.
BordeauX.-WhenK King George visit

General Foch tthe grand cross of the
Bath) as to the commander in chief of
the allies, General Joffre This is the
highest distinction the king of Eng
land can confer on general fer pure
ly military services.
Owing to the completeness of the
French censorship. which prevents
any general from being singled out
for publicity and the small attention
paid to the work of the French gen
erals in the English press, people were
mystifed in England VIXEN General
Foch, person unknown to them,
was singled out for this compliment
by their king.
But the fact is that General Foch
was the hero of the battles of the
Marine and User and is likely to go
down in history as the greatest figure
Of the war on the French side, next to
General Joffre. Joffre plans, Foch ex-
ecutes; Joffre is the headpiece, Foch
the right hand of the French army.

TEXAS" GOVERNOR
NOT A POLITICIAN
Farmer: Banker Ferguson Prom.
ises a New Regime.

+ Austin. Tex.-James e. Ferguson of
Temple. banker and farmer, inaugural
ed governor on Jan. 10, is the first man
TO go direct from active business life
INTO the office of chief executive of
Texas. All Of his predecessors had pre-
viously held political office of some
kind.
Governor Ferguson issued state
ment in which he said he hoped to see
more miles of railroad built in Texas
in 1915 than in any previous year; the
number Of silos increased at least ten
fold: more permanent highways built:
a new record in the matter of immigra-
ton to the state: more hogs and cattle
raised than ever before and a greatly
increased yield of corn and other grain.
There was not hint of politics any
where in the message.
Those intimately acquainted with the
governor say his administrator will be
free from that species of politics which
stlrs up class antagonism: there will be
no pitting Of the farmers against the

he wants these two interests to be
friendly and cooperate. In his younger
days he was railroad laborer. and he
helped to build many miles of track.
During his campaign for governor he
promised that he would not permit
any liquor legislation. either pro or con.
on that subject if be could prevent it.
Since the election the higher courts
have nullified the liquor laws in some
essential particulars. and it is known
thai bills will be introduced dealing
with the provisions thus voided. and
the Prohibitionists claim a working ma
jority in both houses.
Lieutenant Governor w. P. Hobby of
Beaumont. like Mr.. Ferguson. never
held public Office and belongs to the
conservative business element. He is
