PRESS POINTS
ll1lllllHlllll lllllllllllllllI

With this issue The Iowa County Democrat
enters upon it's fitch year. George Crawford
set type on the first issue; and Robert Crawford
started as the carrier boy few weeks later.
Baraboo Democrat: Certain little fellows
have tried in vain to work up a feeling of inse-
curity. such as comes just before panic. They
had schemes to work; they would make hard
times, because that would be to their advantage
And they might have put it across, only that the
Lord of the harvest willed it differently. The
great crops and good prices have saved the day.
No panic, unless it is among those small persons
who wanted big panic.
What's the matter with The Port Washington
Star? Has it eschewed politics?
Darlington Democrat: The legislature was
more reactionary in it's composition than anoth-
er will be for long term of years. The people
have seen what return of the old-liners would
mean, and they are awake to the danger of
trusting too much in their strength, meanwhile
neglecting to exercise it.
Richland Democrat: One year of war, and
hates seem to stand as before; only cemeteries
and debts have grown in this time.
Oconto Enterprise: Roosevelt, himself says
in his life of Thomas H. Benton: political
economists have pretty generally agreed that
protection is vicious in theory and harmful in
practice. This country has grown great not
because of the ''protective' tariff but in spite
Of it.
The Burlington Standard Democrat. one of
the best weekly newspapers in Wisconsin, has
entered upon it's fifty third year Of publication
It is newsy, well edited and we'll printed.

METEOR'S DASH WAS
A BRILLIANT EXPLOIT
Germans, Hemmed In, EsCapeu
on a Morse Merchantmen.

Berlin.-The story of a naval exploit
which matches in daring the spectacu-
lar rovings of the Emden, the Prince
Eitel and other German commerce de-
stroyers was told when the details of
the sinking Of the German auxiliary
Meteor were received.
After an adventurous dash in the
North sea the captain of the Meteor,
hemmed In by enemy patrol boats, sue
ceeded in escaping with his crew and
British prisoners aboard a COM
Wandered merchant craft after he
blew up his own vessel.
According to private reports" says
a news agency, "the Meteor, a convert
ed merchant steamer, succeeded in
breaking through the lines of British
patrol ships and travelling to the Ork-
ney islands, $50 miles from her base.
She laid large number of mines and
destroyed British merchant ships.
Finally she encountered the British
cruiser Ramsey, which she sank after
a splendid maneuver. The captain of
the Meteor, whose crew consisted of
about twenty-five men, saved and cap
tured forty-three men from the Ram
sey. About sixty others were drowned.
British battle cruisers, notified by
wireless, pursued the Meteor After the
Meteor had burned the Danish mer-
chairman Jason, with a contraband
cargo aboard, the little German craft
facing four British cruisers, stopped a
Norwegian steamer, transferred the
captured British contraband crew and
also put the Danish sailors on board.
with the captured Englishmen. The
Meteor was sunk by exploding her
mines"

The Helm bill, which aimed to extend
and strengthen the corrupt practices
act, has been vetoed. This measure
was opposed by Thomas C. Richmond,
because its enactment into law would
have tended to let the dark out Of the
political cellars of such organizations as
the home rule and taxpayers league.
The contention of the governor, as ex
pressed in his veto message, that the
Helm bill threatened the freedom of
the press is, to say the least, rather far
fetched. 1t was simply aimed at
false pretense and the corrupt use of
money in elections. A federal law
along this same line now on the statute
books makes more sure the freedom of
the press. Politicians great and small
should be required to show who pays
the freight

KILLS SNAKE; SAVES GIRL.
Collie Dies From Poison After Making
Heroic Fight.


Caldwell, n. J.-Don, a collie dog
owned by John Miller Of Fairfield ave-
nue., West Caldwell, gave up his life
to save the six-year-old daughter Of
his master from an attack by a copper
head snake, The dog managed to kill
the snake, but died two hours later
from poison.
Agnes Miller and her older sister,
Clara, started out for a rOmp with
Don. They were making for small
clump of woods not. far from their
home, with the dog close at their heels.
The dog suddenly sprang forward,
gave a growl and leaped upon good
sized copperhead snake directly in the
path Of the little girl.
The older girl saw Don tackle the
snake, and she seized her little sister
and pulled her away from the reptile.
Both the girls then ran home as. fast
as they could and told their father Of
the adventure Don got back to the.
house, but died soon afterward.
Miss Clara Miller said that if the dog
had not tackled the snake just. at the
moment her little sister would have
been bitten by the reptile, which was
not more than three feet from her at
the time.

THOMAS j. CUNNINGHAM,
DEMOCRAT.

Gov. Philip mas dropped Thomas j.
Cunningham from the civil service
commission and put in his place Sena-
tor L. G.. Kellogg. This will be no loss
to Mr. Cunningham; neither will it be
any gain to Senator Kellogg; but it
may Indirectly be gain to the Demo
cratic party and the state, by bringing
Mr.. Cunningham more actively into
politics.
Senator Kellogg, elected as a Demo
crat, supported Tory leaders in an at
tempt to put through an undemocratic
program of legislation. If they have
not done so already, the people will
take his correct measure.
More and better things can be said of
Mr.. Cunningham, his past record, and
of things set before him. AS Secretary
of State. he was true, strong member
of the last Democratic state admins
tration. He links the Democracy which
supported the Villas leadership at that
time with the Democracy which won
at Baltimore and which has since under
President Wilson's leadership, achieved
great things in craftsmanship. Mr..
Cunningham is so constituted that he
rightly interprets Democracy in it's
application to new conditions as they
arise. He can test political principle
without party label. He stands for
popular sovereignty, without mental
reservation. That is why he rejoiced
to see placed upon the statute books of
the state the primary election law, the
civil service law, the corrupt practices
act, and other kindred acts, by men
who were right minded and right
hearted and who felt the thrill of the
great movements of the time.
AS member of the civil service
commission ever since it was created
ten years ago he has faithfully endeav-
ored to administer the law true to its
letter and spirit. Naturally, during
that time he has not been very active
in partisan politics. Now he will take
his place on the firing line for next
wear.

The Grant County Herald, which
was established at Lancaster in 1913,
has evidently renewed its youth. 1t is
bright, newsy and we'll printed. In
the issue before us there is one bad
feature, namely: an article reprinted
from The Buffalo Express attacking the
people of the south. It is short sighted
and narrow minded. This is no time
to foster spirit of sectionalism. Cut
out that sort of copy, Editor Sherman,
ann tell your readers something about
the great achievements of the national
administration. 1t will be good for
their citizenship.

ART OF BATHING.
To Get the Right Idea Just Inquire Of
Any Healthy Boy.


Any Healthy Boy.
The art Of bathing has never been
fully understood. 1t ought to be put
on it's feet. Some people feel that in
order to battle it is necessary to call
in the services of physician. Others
battle at the slightest provocation-on
railroad trains and when they are Wis
iting a family Of ten with only one
bathroom. Such people would call for
a bath anywhere trolley car, on
ing the desert of Sahara.
Between these two extremes, the
bathers and the nonbathers, there lies
vast gulf. If these people could only
be brought together-by arbitration
possibly-what benefit to society!
Boys are the only ones who have
the right idea No real boy likes to
take a bath or to be presented with
one on marble slab. Any healthy
boy will sink to any necessary moral
level to avoid this. But any boy will
go in swimming In short, If there be
about the bath the spirit of adventure,
then the boy-whose instincts are nat
ural-will seize the bait. Swimming
in April. with the water somewhat
above zero. is a joy for him which
would be properly resented in a bath
room. If we must battle indoors there
fore the boys ought to be in charge of
the proceedings. And if they were all
the mean, contemplate bathtubs would
have swimming pool. Everybody has
motorcar. Why not a swimming
pool ?-Life

Her majesty and her two elder

spring. An easy method of curing is
to string the ears and hang them in the
kitchen or attic until they are dry.
In the opinion of A. l.. Stone, of the
Agronomy department of the College of
Agriculture, it is advisable at first to
pick most of the ripest ears. Even if
they are not of the best type and con-
formation, it will be better to have
these ears than to buy unknown seed
from outside the state. If the frost
holds off until more satisfactory Sc
lection can be made, the first ears pick

The effort of some Milwaukee bust
ness men to thwart the good work of
Chief Jansen goes to show that nowhere
else can provincialism be found so
dense as with men of provincial hearts
and minds in a great city.
