Edwin c. Jones, Democratic candi-
date for secretary of state, although
young man, has had much experience
and training to fit him for public Of
fee, which heretofore he has not
sought. He was graduated from the
high school of his native city, Portage,
Wisconsin, in 1903. He entered the
University of Wisconsin where he took
the four-year course in Journalism and
spent an extra year in special work
at the University Law school, Through
out his University career, Ned" as
he is best known to the younger gener-
alton, was most active in many
branches of university work, espe-
clally in connection with the university
newspaper on which publication he
worked through it's various editorships
to business manager, which position
he held for two years
In 1909 he was appointed by Presi-
dent Van Hise of the university, as Of
fetal press representative of the uni
verslty to accompany the Wisconsin
baseball team on tour to Japan. His
duties were to disseminate through the
press of this country and that of ia
pan, the spirit of the university, as
demonstrated on the field of sport
the spirit of "fair play" and putting
the game before the prize" This he
succeeded in doing so we'll in Japan
that he was engaged by the only Amer
lean newspaper in that country, the
Japan Advertiser, of Tokyo, as a mem
Der of it's editorial staff. He accepted
the position in 1910 becoming soon
after, business manager of the paper.
After he returned to this country
he assumed the management and edi-
torshlp of the Portage Democrat,
newspaper, published by his father, j.,
E. Jones of Portage, who for many
years had been prominently identified
with the Democratic party in Wiscon-
sin. Since becoming editor of the
Democrat, the younger Mr.. Jones has
been actively engaged in behalf Of
his party in his own county and in
the state. A young man of progress
sive ideas and abundant push" he
has risen rapidly in the esteem of his
fellow Democrats, and at the pre-pri-
mary conference of his party, when
the Democrats of the state were
searching for forward looking" men TO
lead the party to victory, he was Sc
1ected as one of the party's candidates.

"THEY ARE GONE, ALL CONE"

TNHEY are gone all gone from the
mountain home,
Where the wild bees hum and the bright
birds roam;
Where the heath flowers wave meath the
scented breeze
And the warblers sing mid the tall, green
trees.
THEY are gone all gone from the
L mountain home,
Where the waters glide and the moon
beams roam;
Where the lily bell blooms like a star DER
the wave
And the willow bough bends it's leaves to
lave.
THEY are gone all gone, from the
mountain home,
And their songs not heard DER the hills
to roam,
And the echoing notes of the hunter
horn
Have all passed away like summer
THEY are gone all gone, both the young
= and gay,
And the wild bees hum and the bright
birds play,
But the glen is lone where the young
deer roam.
They are gone all gone, from the noun
tain home.

GUM RACK FOR SCHOOLS.
Thinks Children Should Have 1t on
Fairgrounds.

Madison, Wis.-The State Education
al Bulletin, issued recently, comments
favorably on suggestion of President
J. w. Crabtree Of the River Falls Nor
NAL school that there should be gum
racks in schools.
Pupils have a right to chew gum"
said President Crabtree. Teachers do
it, but they know when and how. Why
not teach these conventionalities to the
pupils?
Permit the pupils to chew gum on
the playground and on the way to and
from school. But what will the poor
child do with his gum while in the
recitation or assembly room? A gum
rack at the entrance of the room con-
tanning a number and peg for each
pupil solves the problem.

80 much of good, so much Of sweet,
~ O world SO full of all that's fair!
SO much Of beauty at our feet,
SO much of goodness everywhere!
So much Of gladness and of glee.
So much Of light and cheer and song;
So much of things that are to be,
So little. after all, of wrong
SO much to help us feel content
And glad and grateful that we're here,
With Gods blue sky above US bent
Through all the sweet and changing
year.

Democracy for Good
Roads and Prosperity

"The Democratic national plat
form declares that the happi-
ness, comfort and prosperity of
rural life and the development
of the city are alike conserved
by the construction of public
highways We believe sincerely
in this. We recognize the lead
ership the national government
has given to the good roads
movement by the appropriation
of millions of dollars of national
aid, such appropriations to be
made to states conditionally, up
on the state governments vot-
ing state aid and state direc-
ton.
1--WE pledge ourselves to the
furtherance of this great work,
so necessary in the development
of our state, and will enact the
necessary legislation so that the
state itself will keep pace with
the increasing sentiment that is =,
manifested on every side in town
meetings throughout the state
of Wisconsin for better roads
and more of them, at the same
time keeping the expense of su-
pervision down to the lowest
point consistent with the eff
cheney that should be required of
all public work; as a method to
more readily develop the various
resources of our state, we favor
the plan of continuous state
highways fairly distributed
throughout the state to consti-
tute the main arteries of the :
road system. From The Demo-
cratic State Platform.

LIFE'S MASTERPIECE.

r Owe is life's masterpiece,
Love with it's will
To lift to the sunny peaks
IL Or toss down and kill
Love with is WOnderllent,
Love with it's beam.
AS those who are under it
Walk in its dream.
All, what achievement
Can mortal man make
Richer than mastering
Love for life's sake!
Love, for it's tenderness,
Love for it's light;
Love for it's loneliness,
Love for it's right.
Here where gray shadows walk,
Here where there's sun
After the clouds
And the shadows are done,
Love, as we choose it, sways;
Love sets the mark.
Love is life's masterpiece,
Lit for life's dark.

MY SUMMER RESORT.
I'M going to spend the summer
Right where I did last year.
The Mace lacked no cnnNeniancA


Right where l did last year
The place lacked no convenience
II Conducive to good cheer.
[ had every comfort.
I did not lack for food.
The cooling was a marvel,
And everything was good.
The beds were soft and downy.
I did not lie awake.
The coffee was delicious
Like mother used to make.
Nobody tried to sting me
On prices for my board.
Mosquitoes didn't bite me;
No irate boarders roared.

At very slight expense.

And golfing was immense.

With no desire to roam,
Right where I spent it last year
I'm going to stay at home.

MOTORING ID MENA
 OVER SCENIC ROUTE
Little Rock Man Describes Mont gomery County Trip as PictrIr- eSgue-Found People Favorable
 to Great Highway.

From The Arkansas Gazette.
 In making a business trip by au- tomobile to Mena recently, T. S. shannon. W. D. Dickinson and R. II. Brooks, Little Rock business men, believe they discovered one of the most picturesque automobile routes in Arkansas. They made the trip in ll1a hours. including stops, going by way of Hot Springs, Crystal Springs, Mount Ida and Black Springs and returning via Womble, Caddo Gap and Hot Springs. They were in a Ford car.
 T never had more interesting trip" Mir, shannon said. "Alth0 the road between Crystal Springs and Mount Ida was poor, it was better than We had expected and the coun- try was one of the most pictur- esque 1 have seen. The road runs thru the mountains all the way Mountain streams and mountain springs abound. In the midst of this poor road one comes suddenly upon a stretch of magnificent mac adam pike built by the government thru the forest reserve. It is about five miles long The route we took back had better roads, but was less picturesque.
 T learned that plans for the formation of road district to build Little Rock Mena highway are being prepared A resident of the region remarked that if that pro- ject is finished half of Little Rock and Hot Springs will be in this country during good weather" think he was right. Because there are no railroads and teaming is ne eessary, the residents seem to be enthusiastic over the proposed road, It's promoters do not expect serious opposition to the forma- ton of the district"
