NEICHBORS' RIGHTS

Out on West street is girl with
a steady beau, says the Emporia Ca
zette. The neighbors feel that he is
too steady. And they all have to sit
up until 1870 these hot nights to know
just when he goes home. Which would
not be so bad, if next dOoy there was
not another pretty girl who wears
overalls and routs out at 4:30 o'clock
every morning to work in the bloom
ing garden in her overalls, and the
blushing neighbors who sit up to see
the beau leave, have to roll out three
hours later if they get to see the pref
ty girl in her Overalls.
Which brings us to the discussion
of a problem. What rights have the
neighbors, anyhow? What is the
proper hour for a lawnmower to lift
up its voice, or photograph or a
luke" or a potato masher on the
round steak-in those rich families
which still serve round steak for
breakfast? When should the player
piano be locked up at night? Should
the sheets and bedspreads be hung
on the north or the south of the
underwear on washday? How many
times should a hen be chased home
before she is killed?
Why not have a. commission to
settle the neighbors' rights?

WOMEN AND WAR

The war has worked no more inn
pressive change than on the position
of women in society. Two and half
years ago, despite the liberalizing
trend of the last generation, the Vic
torian ideal of women as kitchen
drudge and parlor ornament still pre-
vailed. The war has changed all that.
Into the vacuum in industry and bust
ness left by the calling of Europe's
able-b bodied manhood to the colors
stepped the women. Four million
women in Germany are doing the
work of meI who have gone to the
front; three and a half million in Eng
land; nearly two million in France.
With economic emancipation has
come, with scarcely a word of pro-
test, deliverance from scores CT con-
ventional restrictions under which
more daring spirits have long chafed.

THE GRIP OF WAR

That the war in Europe has the
center of the stage, so far as the
reading public is conserved, is shown
by the report made at the meeting Of
librarians in Chicago. The keepers
of books find that the great reading
public is demanding war literature to
the exclusion of others. The maya
zines and newspapers, also, devote
much of their space to discussion of
the greatest event which has ever
taken place in the world. No war in
the past approached the present one
in men or money or misery. There is
scarcely a remote corner of the globe
but what is contributing to the strife
beyond the sea, and no wonder the
readers of books, magazines and news
papers demand this literature.

WHEN WILL THE WAR END?

Elihu Root believes that the war

sion to Russia SO expressed himself
to group of newspaper correspond
ents in Moscow.
Everybody knows that the conflict
already has lasted longer than would
have been necessary had it been pros
ecuted with full vigor and without
plumbers from the beginning. And
the struggle may be prolonged for
years unless mistakes of the past are
speedily rectifed so far as that may
be possible.

Intoxicating drinks Of any kind.
Now here we are up against the
greatest crisis in the nations exist
ence, when the question of whether
we win or lose, in the death struggle
between democracy and autocracy,
rests entirely on our doing our very
best, and it is proposed to permit the
existence of an evil which, there is
no doubt, will seriously weaken our
strength.
Most of those arguing for the ex-
ception of beer and wine from the
prohibition feature base their pleas
on the loss of revenue, and the fact
that those now employed in the traf-
fic would be thrown out of employ
ment and it is astonishing what
weight is given to these weak argu-
ments by those who should know bet
ter.
All the revenue yielded by the brew
ers and manufacturers of wine is only
small percentage of the money paid
them by users of beer and wine. The
traffic does not create this money,
nor would they pay it to the govern
ment if it was anything but small
portion of what they receive.
This money, if not spent for booze,
would be in the pockets of the users,
and they would be able to buy gov

AS to those whose occupations
would be gone, already there is fear
of scarcity of labor, when so many Of
our best laborers will called away, to
fight by the side of our allies in the
defense of freedom.

For the Good Of the Order

l was much interested in the in
formation given in the Weekly News
of June %, concerning the Flanders
family. formerly residents of Baraboo.
My Oldest sister attended Miss
Mortimers Ladies academy, in Bar
aboo, some time in 1880, and Lucy
Flanders was one of her intimate &C
quaintances, coming down to our home
in Merrimack once on visit.
Apropos to the debate now on in
the U. S. senate as to the bone dry
prohibition clause attached to the
food control bill, is a temperance
song the girls used to sing, part of
which I dimly remember as follows:
NOW there's old Deacon Simpson
he loved his cup
OF rum and molasses, and he
wouldn't give it up;
He said he was willing the pledge
to sign,
If only allowed to drink cider and
wine"
Now here we have the same COM
promise with evil in the proposed ex-
ception of beer and wine from the pro-
hibition features of the food control
bill.
AS the old negro preacher said,
when a brother prayed to God to cur
tail the power of the devil, "Amen,
cut his tail smack smoove off," so l
say, if there is necessity of prohibi-
ton at all, there is no sense or just
ice in making it partial, but make a
clean sweep of everything that wastes
food or diminishes the vital energy of
the citizen.
The argument against the manu-
facture of liquor and beer well as
wine is not alone on the waste of food
material, but much more on the eff
feet it has upon those who use it.
This has been so thoroughly investi-

First Automobile in Baraboo

The automobile in Baraboo on July
4 reached it's majority.
Twenty-one years ago for the cele-
bration an automobile was transport
ed by rail to Baraboo and used as one
of the sights in the parade. The peo-
pie came and gazed in open-mouthed
wonder at this horseless carriage, of
which they had read but never seen.
During the parade the mayor and
the president of the DAY rode in
state, but later anyone who had the
price (25c), the inclination and the
nerve could ride around the park and
a few blocks up and back. Within
the year car was bought and owned
in Baraboo by DR.. J. E. English, and
others followed in a short time, but
the epidemic was probably contract
ed through contact at the big celebra
ton.
Since then cars have come and gone
in rapid succession, until not to see
them would be now the stranger thing
but not many have had more inspec
tors or admirers than that one with
it's high back seat which lent its ma
iestic presence to that Fourth of July
celebration twenty-one years ago.

The Holy Rollers

Apropos to N. G. Abbotts article
concerning the Holy Rollers, | would
say word. Too frequent ecstatic joy
produces emotional insanity. A COM
munity of them live in Wisconsin, l
believe, and a few years ago a young
woman among them, in a paroxysm
of ecstacy at one of their meetings,
declared that Jesus had come again
on earth, was on his way north, and
it was their duty to go and meet him.
And, though it was mid winter, they
should wear their summer clothes,
for he was bringing warm weather
with him. So goodly number OF
them shortly started on foot, in sum-
mer attire, to meet Jesus. About the
fourth day a severe cold wave strand
ed them and the people Of the place
had to take care of them and help
them home. The only power that can
help them is education. The whole
mind must be cultivated and used.
An active and we'll developed moral
faculty, guarded by the reason of
cultivated intellect from overweight
emotion, makes for true and worthy
life. The eternal God works only
through his laws and only as we obey
natures laws can we become wise.
The true scientist knows with mathe-
NAUTICAL exactness the facts and truths
he tells us. Religious fanaticism is a.
great calamity and reason is it's only
corrective force. 1t is said that
Israel was Gods chosen people, yet
ACKNOWLEDGMENT swallowed up ten Of
the twelve tribes and the two left
are nowhere a nation. Greece, and
then Rome, each in their day, ruled
the world. Where are they today?
God evidently does not appoint
earth's rulers. We are today in the
midst of a worlds war because a
certain autocratic government be-
lieves that it is God ordained to rule
the world, and for years has been
working to that end. Oh, Religious
Fanaticism! When will thy ambitious
ruling end? BENZ. SIMONDS.

TWILIGHT OF AMERICAN KINGS

The twilight for a number of kings
in Europe has come. War has re.
moved crowns and crowns as no other
war has done. Some of the kings in
America, too, are in the twilight, and
if the wheels at Washington grind
Justly they will soon cease to exist.
These kings are not such as they have
in Europe; these are kings of comm j.
dit;es. Listen to the roll: King Of
Meat, King Of Eggs, King Of Flour,
KRIS OF Coal, Fling Of Milk, King of
Butter, King of Sugar, King of Canned
Goods and King of Spuds. These
kings have not been looking for more
power, except that it comes with the
dollar. Some of these jugglers are
worse than robbers, worse than die
tators, worse than almost any evil.
They squeeze unjust dollars from the
high and low and the government
should not hesitate to behead them.
Some are now swee ting drops of blood
and the end is not yet.
