A Surprising Coincidence

One beautiful spring morning years
ago riding to BaraboO, | overlook a
former pupil of the school nearby and
of course asked him to ride. AS we
rode along black cat ran across the
road before us. That, he said, reminds
me Of a curious fact. If you take a
black cat and put it under half bush
/, ell and set on it to ride to town the
same as from here it is sure to bring
a violent windstOrm with more or less
destruction Of property or life. You
are joking, I said. No. said he, [ knew
of one incident, which he related, and
had heard Of one other. Well, | see
no reason to suppose the cat incident
has any more to do with the storm
that may have occurred at the same
time. Sudden storms are a common
occurrence, you know. Well said he
you can't convince me So we rode
into town, [ did my trading, and as
started for my residence l remember
"a cat and | thought it a good time
to take it home So | stopped for it,
| had bought wash tub, so we slipped
the black cat under the tub, sat on it
to drive home. The day was STILL
warm and beautiful and as I turned d
corner in the road, [ noticed in the
west cloud gathering and as I got
home | had just time enough to get
my team in the barn and unload my
wagon when fierce wind storm
with rain and fine hail, came, lasting
about six minutes. 1t passed on, and
about three miles east Of my place the
wind was strong enough to move a
barn about three inches on it's founda-
ton. So it seems a washtub is just
as good as a half busheI in the case.
Now this case is entirely incidental.
No one would expect to bring a storm
every day by such. an act. Besides,
that storm started several miles west
of us, according to the law of storms,
and ran it's natural course. No trifing
incident had anything to do with it.,
and it is like many other worthless no.
tiOns that have no real connection with
natural law. BENZ. SIMONDS.

AS to Teaching German

In his report of that splendid meet
ing in which the local lodge Of the
Knights of Pythias dedicated it's serv-
ice flag, your reported failed to men
ton the strongest and most popular
feature of Mr.. Bentley's brilliant adj
dress-the teaching Of the German
language in our public schools. The
ringing arraignment of this kindly
support of the keystone Of the kaiser's
propaganda in America, right here in
BarabOo, called out the lOudest and
most persistent applause Of the even
ms, and that audience was most gen
erOus with it's expressions of approval.
I It is conceded as true [ think, that
one may not know his own tongue
perfectly, without study of at least
one fundamental tongue. Latin is a
more fundamental language to the
Yankee vernacular than is the Ger
man, and it may be studied without
danger of moral, economic and pOliti-
cal pollution. The Latin never was
the vehicle of pernicious "made-in-
Germany" might-is-right propaganda.
1t may be dead language" but it
has been honest for Is centuries. To
my taste Latin better be decently
dead than to live and reek with
treason and intrigue.
Without the support of the German
language, and the frightful propagan-
da it too often carries, the dangerous
racial groupings in Wisconsin,, right
here, in Baraboo, would disintegrate
and we would become one people.
/ Seems as if we have had enough Of
these secret organizations and their
undertakings. Witness the recent
primaries.
Under present conditions it seems
to me that any effort to further the
claims of the German language in
Baraboo schools is a little wanting in
the one dominating, topical factor
, patriotism. V. 5. PEASE.

The Kaiser and the Brewers

"In June, 1908, the kaiser made
speech to a secret council of high Ger
man military, naval and other officials
in Potsdam palace. He spoke OF how
seas would not be barriers and OF how
he had arranged what we in America
have come recently to understand as
the abiding imperial citizenship OF
German subjects, whether naturalized
in other lands or not. Concerning this
he said: L have pledged my word that
every German outside of the father
land in whatever part Of the world he
might live, has a just claim to my inn
perial protection
"Then swinging to the climax Of his
speech, this autOcrat brazenly said:
of course it is too early yet to fix the
exact date when the blow shall be
struck. Even now I rule SUI
preme in the United States, where al
most one-half of the population is of
either German birth or German de-
scent, and where 100000 voters do
my bidding at the presidential cleo
ton. No American administration
could remain in power against the
will of the German voters, who,
through that admirable Organiza-
ton, the German-American National
League, control the destinies Of the
vast republic beyond the sea. Ii
man was ever worthy Of a high deco
ration at my hands it was Herr DR..
Hexamer the president of the league,
who may be justly termed to be, by
my grace, the acting ruler of all the
Germans in the United States
''These are the kaiser's exact words.
''This is what the brewers Of Amer
lea have been taxing the consumers of
beer to promote. This was the ulti-
mate purpose of the German political
machine into which they have been
pouring money for years. Over every
saloon bar in the United States a tax
is collected to further the aims of the
kaiser in America. While our brave
soldiers are getting ready to smash

A French,nan in Favor Of Teaching

In the Partisan newspaper LOpiniofE
Gilbert Marie expresses his surprise
at a tendency toward abolishing the
teaching of German lin American
schools. He writes that he would new
err have considered the otherwise 50
practical Americans capable of such
great folly He continues: "a French
scholar of whatever department can
not complete his studies without the
ability to read German. By far the
greatest part of the scientific books,
periodicals and dissertations, as we'll
as instruments are imported from Ger
many. Many Of our scholars are con
demned to wait for peace before they
can again take up their work in history
or French literature. But even the
plain layrnan, the most common seek
er after knowledge, must also wait for
it to be again informed regarding in
ternationaI scientific production. Our
great libraries are also waiting for it,
that they may again be able to inform
their readers. All sources of informa-
ton, all great scientific and learned
periodicals, though perhaps not always
of German origin, are nevertheless
mostly published in the German Ian

cupation.
The cigarette smoker soon acquires
! such a strong desire for stimpulant
that he turns to alcoholic drinks for
relief and the drink habit nearly al
ways follows as a result of the effect
of the nicotine poison.
Judge Ben B. Lindsey Of the juve-
! nile court, Denver, Colo, says that
! the worst habit of boyhood is the hab
it Of smoking cigarettes. 1t not only
creates a habit for strong alcoholic
drinks, but opens the door to all the
other demons of habits to come in
and add to the degradation that the
cigarette began.
| Eighty-fve per cent of the ineffi
; cheney of schoolboys is caused by the
cigarette, and educators all over our
country are working hard to educate
the boys to a higher moral standard
| and their greatest stumbling block is
: the cigarette.
Hudson Maxim, who is world re
nowned as the inventor of high explos
! ives for use on battleships, says the
wreath of cigarette smoke which curls
about the head of a growing lad holds
his brain in an iron grip which just as
surely prevents it's growth and devel
: opment as do the iron shoes of the
' Chinese girl.
| DR.. Charles L. Hamilton, superin
tendent of the Kelley institute at
! Dwight, ILL.,, says that many times
those who come there for treatment
dread giving up their cigarette more
than they do the liquor, and those who
return to the use of cigarettes are al
most certain to resume the use OF
liquor
In the face of these facts, deduced
, from statements made by men of
| wide experience in all fields of the
worlds activities, it would seem that
parents would wake up to the awful
menace that surrounds their boys and
girls and try by every means Obtaina-
BILE to prevent the forming of the CT
gazette habit. 1t is conceded by all
that the average cigarette victim be-
comes so weakened morally, spiritual
ly and Intellectually as to be unable
to break the habit, when once formed,
and school boys who have been given
the choice of leaving school or giving
up the cigarette, have said they could
not stop smoking; they had smoked
too long. They are poor victims of
criminal carelessness Of those who are
supposed to have the boys best inter
ests at heart.
Let the law prohibiting the selling
or giving Of cigarettes or cigarette pa
pers to the young be enforced. and
safeguard our children against immor-
atty and insanity.

Facts and Figures About Taxes

Former articles on taxes showed
that Baraboo paid an average from
1911 to 1916 inclusive of 5000 on one
thousand dollars valuation, but in 1917
we paid only $1797, or $2.13 less than
we had paid for the six preceding
years. Had we paid our average last
year, the same as in former years, Of
5000, our taxes this year need only
be 5000, or 10 cents on a thousand
above the average for the six precedr
Jag years.

A by-product of war hysteria!

1t accounts for more than one lapse.
There are others who should take
stock of themselves, and discover that
they too became victims Of war n.y.
steria-that they have been governed
by hysteria, not by reason.
And when they discover this-they
should be as brave and honest as Rose
Pastor Stokes-they should openly
avow their mistake to the whole
wrold.
Come on, boys-'fess up.
Mrs. Stokes says that if America
had entered the war for the ideal of
democracy, our armies would have
gone to Europe when Belgium was
ravished, or at least when the Lusi-
tania went down, but we did not start
to fight until our dollars were in dan
ger-we had to fight or revise our top
heavy industrial system.
Thus the common sense Of the work
ing girl reasserts itself after the war
hysteria has passed away
And it was war hysteria on the part
of her hearers that caused some of
them to hiss her.
May they recover their reason also.
