CRADLE LAND OF HISTORY
Memories That Cluster Around Vil- lages and Mountains Now Under
 Turkish Domination.

While the allied fleet is endeavoring to force it's way to the stronghold of the Turk, it is passing by and bring ing into notice lands and towns which are so ancient as to seem almost names without identity. Yet the cities of Smyrna and Ephesus, the island of M1tylene, the dozens of historic vil- lages and mountains are all places which were the center of history hun dreds of years before the Christian era.
 Mitylene is the modern name for the island of Lesbos, one of the Grecian archipelago a spot where burning Sapho loved and sung" Here people so ancient that their very existence is almost mythical flourished nearly 5000 years ago. Orpheus, the god of music, is said to have visited it's shores, and other famed poets and musicians made it their home. Yet today it is the home of few ignorant Greeks and even more ignorant Turks.
 Smyrna, which lies at the head of the gulf of the same name, fourished so long ago that it had chapel to Nemesis, the goddess of revenge. It was built probably thousand years before Christ, and is one of the seven cities claiming to be the birthplace of Homer. On tiny island now used as a quarantine station, and just outside of the city, the great philosopher An axagoras was born The first Christian church was built here by Bishop Poly carp about one hundred and fifty years after the crucifixion.
 A railroad connects Smyrna with Ephesus, which was the alleged birth place of the goddess Diana and the spot on which her famous temple was built. Fphesus was a thousand years old when the Christian era began. Croesus and Alexander the Great wis tied it; it was subdued by Marc An tony and seen by Cleopatra. There are to be seen the ruins of the prison in which Paul was held, the rock in which the seven sleepers slumbered and it was in this city that the great council of the Christian churches met in the year 431' to put down the Mes torian heresy.
 All these lands, cradles of the hu man race, the birthplaces of history and the beginning of civilization as il has come down in the last 5000 years are in the domain of the Turk, yet in few months, perhaps, they may be awakened to a new life with quite another government

Why He Went to a Concert.

Josef Hofmann has story which illustrates the attitude of many peo- pie toward recitals of piano music.
 A pianist was to give concert, and as the audience was filing in the ticket taker stopped man who presented two tickets.
 You can't go in,' the official said. You're not in fit condition"
 Didn't pay for my tickets?" ques- toned the would-be auditor. Aren't they in order?"
 They're perfectly in order" was the reply, but the truth is you're drunk"
 Drunk? Drunk" unused the other, solemnly placing the passports in his pocket. "Of course I'm drunk. If I weren't drunk would I come to a piano recital?'

PRESS POINTS


Milwaukee Journal: Important questions
eoIning up. The highest type of craftsmanship
will be called for with minimum of playing
politics. If congress realizes the gravity of its
task, good many customs of recent congresses
will be thoroughly out of date.
Burlington Standard Democrat Every man
makes mistakes, but it is only those of large
caliber who acknowledge them.
Waterloo Democrat: Since the ten thousand
kilograms were sent through Jane Adams and
The Women's Clubs of the country to President
Wilson there are good many voters who have
wondered whether they do right in supporting
woman suffrage.
Baraboo Democrat: Governor Philip of
Wisconsin proclaimed Thanksgiving without
the use of the word God" and got his foot in

The indefinite providence or uncertain deity.

of individual liberty and of the free
labor that supports life and the un-
censored r thought that quickens it.
Conquest and dominion are not in our
reckoning or agreeable TO our prlnci-
pies. But just because we demand un-
molested development and the undis-
turbed government Of our own lives
upon our own principles of right and
liberty, we resent. from whatever
quarter it may come, the aggression we
ourselves will not practice. We insist
upon security in prosecuting our self
chosen lines of national development.
We dc more than that. We demand it
also for others. We do not confine our
enthusiasm for individual liberty and
free national development to the Incl
dents and movements of affairs which
affect only ourselves. We feel it Wher-
ever there is a people that tries to walk
in these difficult paths of independence
and right From the first we have
made common cause with all partisans
of liberty on this side the sea and have
deemed it as important that our neigh
bors should be free from all outside
domination as that we ourselves should
be; have set America aside as whole
for the uses Of independent nations and
political freemeA.
Out Of such thoughts grow all our
policies. We regard war merely as
means of asserting the rights of a peo-
pie against aggression. And we are
as fiercely jealous of coercive or dicta-
torial power within our own nation
as of aggression from without. We
will not maintain a standing army ex-
cept for uses which are as necessary
in times of peace as in times of war.

THE MESSAGE.

President Wilson's message to con-
gress appears in this issue OF The
Democrat. It is a thoroughly good
message: and, in strength and simplici-
ty, it is a great message. Read it care
fully. If you read it to mark and to
learn, it will do you good. AS is his
custom, the president harks back to the
best craftsmanship of the fathers OF the
republic and applies it to present press
ing conditions He studies the history
Of the past; not to worship it; but, in
it's light, to work out better democ-
racy. He goes back to the Virginia bill
of rights, and repeats it without hest
tation or equivocation. He holds fast
10 the true American ideal, that liberty
is a glorious thing. He believes in the
common man, and in his capacity.
The message concludes:
What we are seeking now, what in
my mind is the single thought OF this
message, is national efficiency and
security We serve great nation.
We should serve it in the spirit of its
peculiar genius. 1t is the genius OF
common men for self government, in
dustry, justice. liberty and peace. We
should see to it that it lacks no in
strument. no facility or vigor of law,
l. L xo Ill anyt
with energy, safety and assured sue
cess. In this we are no partisans but
heralds and prophets of a new age.

A TARIFF COMMISSION.

The men who are now the most
strongly in favor of tariff commission
are the political descendants of the high
tariff takers who have despitely used
the reports of every tariff commissioner
from David A. Wells down to the pres
ent time. Mr. Wells was by President
Lincoln appointed special commits
sioner of the revenue. He was a cotton
manufacturer; and when he took office
he was protectionist. But he was not
thought tied; and, upon investigation,
he found that tariff taxes ought to be
reduced, and he so reported to congress.
But the congress, with tariff benefci-
aries in control, refused to print his re-
port, and abolished his office.
AS President Wilson has pointed out,
the country has in the Federal Trade
Commission the best tariff commission
ever formed.

La Toilette at Richland Center.

Richland Democrat: Senator r. M.
LaFollette opened his campaign for re-
election, to the position which he now
holds, in this city Monday evening and
surely must have been satisfied with
the audience which greeted him. The
auditorium was packed to the doors
and this in face of the fact that the
roads are in a terrible condition and
only the most courageous would at
tempt travelling over them. In ; his
address the senator covered about
everything which is likely to come up
during the campaign, the statistics
quoted being nearly unlimited. He
paid his respects to Gov. Philip and
his supporters in no uncertain terms.
