Quaint Forms Of Greeting

E. L. Luckow, auditor of the navy
department at Washington, formerly
of Baraboo, sends the following for
the Ollapodrida column, clipped from
a newspaper:
Among the most curious modes OF
salutation is that of the Malays and
other Polynesians, who greet each
ether by smelling. Two natives on
meeting, after an absence of some
time, seize hands, rub noses violently,
and at the same time weep loudly, pre-
sumably from the pleasure of seeing
one another.
The peasant in Spain, on meeting a
stranger, offers him in salutation a
piece of bread they always carry
about with them Of course, it is re-
fused with thanks, and there would
certainly be a great deal Of astonish-
ment-if not trouble-if it was &C.
cepted In the same way the Mexican
magnanimeHs1y places all his world
ly goods at his guests disposal, but
never expects him to take him at his
word.
The Chinese have code of saluta-
lions, eight in number, and use them
according to the rank and position Of
the person greeted. The most famil-
lar to us is the New Year greeting
when John Chinaman clasps his hands
together and gently bows.
Two very curious Chinese greetings
are "Have you eaten rice?" and SIS
your stomach in good order?" The
Egyptians have a still more curious
greeting which might be translated
'How goes the perspiration?"
The greeting of the Moors is little
startling. They ride at a stranger at

'We're With You, Woodrow"

o. D. Brandenburg, Madison, sends
a postcard from Washington bearing
a picture of the capital, the president,
and the following lines:
"We're With You, Woodrow"
We are with you, with you, Woodrow,
Whether peace or whether war,
We were with you hark'ning to the cry
From battlefields afar.
When you sought to change the car
mage
To a peace that would abide;
o we're with you, with you, Woodrow,
Whatever may betide.
We are with you, with you, Woodrow,
One hundred million strong,
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers,
Be it weary way and long,
Or swift and sure to victory.
Ger insolence and might;
We are with you in the silence,
We are with you in the fight.
We are with you, with you, Woodrow,
We pledge each heart and hand;
You're indeed, valiant leader,
We're, at need a valiant band;
Then red of War or white of Peace,
Meath wide blue tent above,
Each f1ag-fung hue finds us with you
In loyalty and love.

A MISTAKE

Governor Philip made mistake
TO veto that liquor referendum meas
ure. 1t was poor politics to play the
brewery interests against the state
when there is so much conservation
of grain talked of and the amount
used by the breweries is certainly a
considerable portion. Better have left
it for the voters of the state to decide
and not have made political issue
of it. However, as the matter now
stands, it is a political issue and the
dry candidate will receive the support
of the bulk of the papers of the state
at the next election if the opinion ex-
pressed now is any criterion. OF
course Philip will have to run again
to save his organization. He cannot
delegate a substitute now, to keep his
hand in for the United States senator
ship Job when Hastings term is out.
The veto was a political mistake,
Waterloo, perhaps, that even his most
astute admirers should have foreseen
and warned him against. Meanwhile
he takes the stand against hard liquor
but it is so clearly subterfuge that
it is not worth considering. The whole
question or none is what the people
demanded, and Philip saw fit to
place himself as the car of WiscQn-
sin politics. We know what happened
to Russia's czar. He is planting pota-
toes GAINESVILLE Gazette.

BEAT THE U-BOAT

America is at war to prevent
powerful and INSCRIPTIONS empire
from winning the mastery of the west
ern world.
Together with Britain, France, Italy,
Canada, Pan-America, the United
States depends for it's political safe
ty and it's civilized development upon
the security of the Atlantic highways.
That security is now gravely threat
ened by the German empire armed
with new and deadly weapon. If
the submarine succeeds, the German
empire is not only supreme in Europe,
but an imminent peril to every nation
that touches upon the Atlantic. 1t
would compel every nation to live in
fear of militarism, and the caste which
dominates the German empire today
would call the tune for all mankind.
This is the specific threat which
has 1OICSU IuS OAltSQ RCdtOO 4uIO IAO
contest with those of the liberal
powers of Europe.
The threat could not be overcome
unless Great Britain obtained the sup
port of the American naval and mer-
camille fleet and American industrial
and military resources.
Thus we are fighting in part to pre-
vent a Germany actuated by agrees
i've motives and armed with such
weapon as the submarine from win
ming the war, and in part to enable
the United States to participate in a
treaty of peace which subsequently
may become the basis of an enduring
and equitable international order

THAT INSTRUMENTATION
PLAN

Russian socialists who are outlining
peace terms which they declare must
be accepted by the allies as the price
OF further participation in the war by
Russia appear to disagree on how
their policy of no annexations is to be
applied to Alsace-Lorraine. The prin-
ciple of "self-determination" has been
advanced in this connection and the
suggestion has been made by some
groups that the people of Alsace-Lor-
raine determine by vote whether they
are to be wholly French or wholly Ger
man for all time to come.
Well may proposals of this kind be
met with yelled encouragement and
approval from Germany. For the Ger
man declaration that Alsace-Lorraine
would vote itself permanently into
Germany if given the opportunity is
no hollow boast. Who is left in AL
sace-Lorraine to cast dissenting bal
lot? A few old men, perhaps,
The young men? They have long
ago paid the penalty of their loyalty
with their lives; either in the German
ranks, exposed to the most dangerous
fire of their compatriots, or in the
front ranks of the French army, fight
ing with the fury Of the oppressed.
And who shall keep inviolate the bal
lot box? And by whose fingers shall
the vote be counted?
Disingenious, to say the least, is
the Russian proposal. 1t ignores the
| fact that while some peoples achieve
| independence from within, others
must gain their liberties from with
out-Chicago Daily News.

June Bug Remedy

/ note in a weekly edition of The
News an article by w. H. Babcock
secretary of the Sank County Y. M.
C. A, concerning ways and means of
combating the June bug menace. Mr.
Babcock advances three methods Of
suppressing the evil, to which I would
add one more, WIS.,: law passed and
strictly enforced, prohibiting the trap
ping or killing Of skunks. One of the
principal foods of the skunk is the
white grub, and if unmolested the
skunk would go far toward keeping
down the superabundance of the June
bugs progeny, SO destructive in many
localities. n. G. ABBOTT.

stance as follows: The entrance OF
the United States into the war means
the total and permanent loss of Teu-
tonic oversee trade. The Anglo-Amer-
lean alliance which has been brought
about with a keen eye to business,
will be permanent; in the future Eng
land and America will divide the trade
of Central and South America be-
tween them and will control the
ocean more tyrannically and greedily
than England formerly did alone.
With the exception of the Far East
ern waters which must be left to Ja-
pan the oceans of the world will be
under the supreme control of the An
glo-American combination and the
German merchant feet will never
again be what it was prior to the war;
after the war Germany will not need
more merchant vessels than she will
have left. From an economic stand
point the alliance between America
and England is the worst blow the
central powers have received since
the war began. All other countries
of Europe will suffer as much from
the domination of England. and
America as Germany and Austria
Hungary, and combination of these
powers which will rebel against such
domination will be inevitable.

The President and the Circus

Washington is referred to frequent
ly as the Capital of the World" and
the president at the United States
capital is naturally very busy man.
The responsibilities centered about
the administration are tremendous,
and the activities about the executive
and legislative parts of the govern
ment are so great that things get to
swapping at times. Two years ago
l wrote story about the excitement
around Washington, which was appar-
emily relieved when circus came to
town. But what seemed like tenn
pestous affair at that time turned out
| to be little better than tempest in
a teapot. There are real things doing
during this present summer of 1917,
| and no one around Washington is
Understanding the Importance Of
events.
President Wilson looked out across
the green lawn of the White House
and saw the procession Of Ringing
Brothers Circus going by. The cal
Hope echoed it's invitation, and so
the president and his party went out
i, to the big tent. You may wonder how
circus looks to a president. Perhaps
the answer may be found in observ-
ing how a president looks at the cir
Gus. The band played "The Star-Span-
gled Banner" and the great crowds
! arose until the piece was finished,
] and the presidential party was seat
ed. A little later it was observed that
! in the box that had been fitted up for
the occasion his august Presidency
was eating peanuts and crackerjack,
and that he and his companions were
having as much fun out Of the antics
of the clowns as was the small boy
who had gained admission by having
carried water to the elephants. To
/ prove that the president loves a cir
Gus, it may be stated that he passed
up an invitation to great gathering
of business men in order that he
might watch the beautiful spectacular
performance of Cinderella, and see
the bareback riders and trapeze per-
formers, and the other specialists in
fun making, employed by Ringing
Brothers big show.
Members of the cabinet and most OF
congress turned out to see the show,
and Charles Ringing was called to
the presidents box in order that he
might receive the congratulations OF
the head of the nation upon his great
1L,i IN nj SfQfnC-
men are just like other people, and
all are boys again at the circus. One
busy official was heard to say, There
sits the senator from my state. He
and l have been telling each other
how busy we are" None of them
was too busy to go to the circus, and
the president and the rest Of the Off
Gals of Washington didn't seem to
give rap about the war in Europe
during the two and half hours that
they enjoyed seeing Ringing Broth
ers' circus. 1t is very noticeable that
the cares and responsibilities OF life
slip from mems shoulders when they
go to the circus, thereby better fitting
them to meet their heavy duties.
Somehow the impression Of a close
observer is that the coming Of the
circus brings with it more benefits to
Washington during the times of great
est stress than is to be found in any
other event at the capital.
