o, Reform. What Queer Things
are Done III Thy Ndmel

The state senate on Wednesday
of last week reversed its position
of two weeks before and adopted a
resolution expressing confidence IN
President Wilson's neutrality ef-
forts and offered sympathy to the
chief executive in trying hour.
While the writer has the greatest
faith in the President and admlres
his neutrality policy, he neverthe-
less believes that the senators have
made a mistake in SO doing. Not
that the President is not entitled to
the confidence and respect OF the
individual. But it appears TO the
Leader man to be a breach ct Judg-
ment for a state legislative body
to thus put itself on record. 1t
seems as if the sentiment OF the
people of Wisconsin could have
been conveyed to President Wilson
in some other and more fitting
manner. Surely the President S
Mexican and neutrality policies
have thus far won for him plaudlts
from the sober thinking and peace
loving people of the nation. But
who knows what the morrow may
bring? The President is only a
mortal being. He is not intallible.
He is liable to ere some time as
even greater men than he have
done. Even today, the country is
we'll divided in opinion as to Presi-
dent Wilson's free trade policies
and present industrial and COM
mercial conditions tend to give
strength to the belief that those
who have held views opposite to
him on the question of the tariff,
have stood for what fosters and en-
courages the industries of the ma
ton and sends sunshine and con-
tentment into the homes of the
honest sons of toll. So it might
and no doubt would have been bet
Ter had the upper branch of our
state Legislature adopted the Presi-
dents own policy of watchful
waiting" in dealing with the reso-
luton in question. But the trou,
BILE at Madison is, the majority Of
the members of the Legislature fol-
low the dictates of a few who
would make heroes of themselves
but almost invariably asses in
stead. In the case of of the reso-
buttons of sympathy" it is but a
grand-stand play on the part OF
the so-called republican reformers
to curry favor with the democratic
national administration. 0, re-

Ford Car J0keSmithS.

The jokesmiths of the country
seem to take a special delight in
springing their jokes on the Ford
automobile. Nearly every day, a
new one" is sprung upon the lit
tie Ford" The latest recently was
passed along the line from Milwau-
kee. 1t is said that gentleman
was standing on West Water St.
with one foot on the curb and the
other resting on the wheel of a
Ford car. A little street urchin
appeared on the scene and enquir-
ed: Say, mister, where's your
other roller skater" Just then the
owner of the car threw a blanket
over the radiator and the bright
youth chinned in: 80, you don t
need to cover it up; everybody is
wise to what It is, anyway. The
Jokes may continue to be sprung,
but the Ford people continue to do
business at the old stand and hold
the confidence of the public.
Fifteen years ago, Henry Ford
the manufacturer of the little
Ford" was engineer in an electric
light plant in Detroit. He has
not only proven himself susccess
in the industrial world, but pub
lie benefactor as we'll, doing much
for his army of employees an hu-
mainly in general.
Along this line, it might be ad-
ded that fifteen years ago, Charley
Murphy, the base ball millionaire,
was a reporter on the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Thomas H. Ince, the
motion picture magnate, was a
comic-opera comedian, glad to get
$50 a week. Charlie Weeghman,
owner of the Chicago Federal base
ball team and string of restau-
rants, was a waiter IN quick lunch
room. And so it goes. The list
could be strung out to a COL
umns length. Therefore when
you hear a boy or young man

Tho Manonthegrounh.

Not so very long ago, when the
government stepped into the
fight between the mail order
house and the rural merchant,
and organized the rural free de-
livery system and the parcel
post, many a good merchant
threw up his hands and calmly
e%xpired-in a business way. But
the wise man, the man who used
his head, began to figure what
he could get out of the parcel
: post and the free delivery that
would give him a chance to com.
rete with mail order house. Like
all great inspiration, the anwer
was simple: "Do as the mail.or-
der man does. Get a mailing list
and go after the business And

In the first place he had his 10.
cal paper which circulated
throughout his territory each
week, or daily in some cases. He
advertised with catchy specials,
and got people TO write in for
them, and sending them out by

every buyer in his territory,
went to the newspaper office and
had some attractive cicnlHrs

Pure Food Regulation

Secretary Houston. of the Department

official definition of condensed or cvapo-

charged with the enforcement Of the
pure food act. According to his ruling.
the product must contain not less than
255 per cent of total solids, and not less
than 7S per cent of milk fat.
The total solids include all the sub
stances In the condensed or evaporated
milk except moisture. and are. there
fore. an index OF the actual food value
OF the product. The department OFFICIALS
are Of the opinion that the fixing OF a
minimum below which neither the total
solids nor milk fat may fall. a con-
densed milk Of high nutritive value is
insured. It IL stated that no. tolerance
whatsoever below the qua NJ titles fixed IN
the decision will be permitted. \
The definition also requires that the
milk must be from COWS properly fed

Laugh and Be Merry,
For '7is All Fools Dav
Even Adam Might Have Slipped Little Quinine on
the Apples for Mother Eve Had He Been Boy
So Grin an Bear It.

There's an old saying that every dog
has his day-although some Of them
are still waiting for the Utopia of dog
dom. Likewise, every practical joker
has his day-and this is it and there 8
no waiting.
1t Is a wise and prudent man who has
not learned by the time these few lines
are read that this is April 1. 1916: "All
Fools Day" on the calendar Of fun.
The irrepressible small boy, the grown
man who likes his joke occasionally.
and even the wife or daughter, all have
been in on the conspiracy to harass the
next door neighbor or a vulnerable
member of the household. Almost any
practical joke goes today, and II a fel-
low is inclined to get mad his memory
takes him back a few years to the time
when he, as youngster, put one
over on a non-suspecting, dignified
citizen.
This is no place for an essay on 1.-The
why" of April Fool. 1t has beet OBJ
served in this world of mirth and woe
for many many years, and will con-
tlnue to be observed so long as boy and
man desires a bit of laughter here be-
low. If Adam had been a boy he prob
ably would have fooled the serpent or
Mother Eve by putting a little quinine
