Would Baraboo DrGo0 the
Prize?
Prize?

In case committee should search the
cities the size of Baraboo in this state
to determine which was the most
pleasant in which to live, would this
city win the prize? Measured by
beautiful public buildings, well kept
lawns and paved streets, there would
be none or few equals. Measured by
parks and Fairgrounds, this city would
fall short. True there is small park
about the courthouse which belongs to
, the county and large park at Devils
lake which is owned by the state, bu
there is none belonging to the city.
Plans have been drawn to improve GER
tain sections but up to the present
time there is not play ground for
restless boys and frolicsome girls. The
land about the school houses supply
the need in measure but what is de-
sired most is parks and Fairgrounds
Supply these and Baraboo would wiz
the prize as an ideal place in which tt

BovS and the Playground

BOYS ana TOe FEOJSFCuJtO
| do not know of any better way to
teach a boy to be honorable and
straight than to give him a chance to
play with his comrades, says Justice
Hughes of the United States Supreme
Court. In the playground ne learns
without any suggestion of rebellion
against instruction and precept and
preaching. He learns it because ne
does not want anybody else to cheat
him, and is down" on the boy that
does not play fair. And in the long
run, because he is ''down" on the boy
that does not play fair, he will estab-
lish standards of conduct which we
must maintain in the community and
particularly in our great cities. LII
there is one thing that we need more
than another it is the constant en-
phasis among our citizens of that spirit
of fair play, that willingness to give
and take, that generosity in defeat and
that lack of assertiveness in victory
which we identify with true sport, ano
which ia learned best of all in child
hood upon the playground.

After January l, 1916, no more whis-
key or brandy will be sold IN drug
torres. This is due to the fact that the
National Pharmacopoeia committee has
8 cut these liquors from the new edition
of the u. S. Pharmacopoeia which means
that they have been declared officially
to be neither drugs nor medicines. The
edition will be put forth about January
/. 1915, and thereafter whiskey and
brandy cannot be sold legally by drug
gists, unless they become saloonkeep-
ers by taking out local licenses. 1t il

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION

Much disease, trouble, suffering, de-
preston and worry, usually blamed to
other causes is due to constipation.
Even chronic constipation can be cor
rected by care in the diet and proper
treatment with a gentle laxative.
The use of harsh laxatiyes, unfortun.
ately so common, gives temporary rellef
but in the end aggravates constipation.
Pinkletsare dainty ,sugar-coated granules,
they act gently, causing no nausea or
gripping. They clear away the waste and
prevent congestion. With little per-
sistence, which the result is well worth,
Pinklets really correct chronic constipa-
ton.

Manning and the Warehouse.

In a recent issue the Yorkville
Enquirer directs attention to the
attitude of Governor Manning
toward the State warehouse sys-
tenn as expressed by the Gov
ernor in speech attributed to
him at meeting held in Colum-
bia few days ago. This mat
ter of warehousing cotton foI

and we shall not be surprised to
see that it makes or unmakes .
considerable number of men
Offering foi public office. As
we recall the speech of Governor
Manning he is quoted as saying
that he will recommend to the
Legislature a number of changes
in the law, one of which is that
no owner of State warehouse
shall act as manager thereof.
Further, our recollection is that
he would not allow the owner
Of a warehouse taken over by
the State to store his own cotton
therein. These recommends
tions, if adopted, would, in our
opinion, result in the disruption
of the entire warehouse system,
and we are loath to believe that
Il majority of members of the
Legislature will agree to them.
We prefer to believe, of course,
that the Governor is entirely
disinterested in the changes he
would have made in the ware
house law. but IL certainly re-
quires nothing akin to deep
thinking to see how, if his ideas
are adopted, the owners Of pri-
vate warehouses will haye much
to gain.

Loyalty Pays a Dividend.

We read much in the public
press today of loyalty to our
country" and it is well, for if
any man on earth has reason to
feel loyal to his country for ben
efits conferred, that man is the
American citizen.
But there is another loyalty
which ranks side by side with
that of country, and that is 10y
atty to home and home people. ;"
We have here a community in
which any people might feel a
just pride, and we have a people
wholly on par with the commun-
ity, though there are times when
We are neglectful of our interests
and unmindful of the disinteg-
rating consequences which inva-
riably enuse.
Loyalty always pays its divi-
dend, but loyalty to home and
home people pays a double divi-
dend.
Let us be loyal to our country
by all means, but let us be doub-
ly loyal to our home people and
home institutions, for it is by
this means only that we may
thrive and flourish and grow as a
collective unit in the marts of
the world.

President Wilson today told Senator
Tillman Of South Carolina that he be-
leved public opinion in the United States
demanded that there should be no Incdi-
fcation of the two-battleship naval
building program.
Senator Tillman called at the White
House to discuss with the President the
Senator's speech made last week urging
that no additional battleships be con-
structed or provided for until the Eu-
ropean war had demonstrated which
kind Of naval armament was, most ef-
fective.
Senator Tillman left the White House
with the impression, he said, that while
the President personally agreed with
him in many particulars, he, neverthe-
less. felt that the wave OF popular feel
ing in behalf of the two-battleship pro-
gram was such as not to permit an
aba ndonment of that policy.
