WISCONSIN SEVENTY YEARS
Old

On May %, Wisconsin was seventy
years old. The first man to reach
Wisconsin was Jean Nicolet in 1884,
the. land passed to the English in 1863,
to the Americans in 1888, territory
formed in 1885, and admitted as a
state in 1848. That in brief is the
story of the Badger state. Out Of the
great Northwest Territory the state
was carved and it has become one Of
the most powerful in the union. Her
people are progressive, her natural
resources are wonderful, and her adj
vancement has been marvellous. Wis
consin is rich in many things and to
her hills and lakes come thousands of
people annually to enjoy a season of
rest and recreation. Few are the
states in which it is so pleasant to
live and in which the people are SO
happy as in Wisconsin.

MONEY IN RAILROADS

Nothing more outrageous is in the
history OF using public money for priv
ate benefit than the management Of
American railroads. To meet the def
icit,' which means to patch up and
rebuild the rundown properties, the
people must now provide one billion,
two hundred millions of dollars, This
in addition to the heavily increased
rates that the people have paid for
railroad service and in addition to bill
lions already put into the misman-
aged roads.
And the government admits that
hundreds Of millions spent on the
roads will not be repaid to the tax
payers when the roads are returned
present to the private owners. AS
Northcliffe truly says, this is a very
DOCILE people. It gets used to being
robbed, like cells to being skinned

With the Monroe doctrine definitely

questions Of peace or war conserved,
internal domestic questions reserved,
national consent as to mandatory
service, the door opened for the with
drawal Of members and the admission

the covenant, we cannot conceive Of
the United States refusing to enter

OBEDIENCE TO Law

Consider mans misconception as to
law. Four murders in New York in
one day, $4,000 murders in one year,
innumerable burglaries, thefts, bombs,
brawls, riots and overfowing jails,
represent events that stir fear and
alarm in patriots and lovers of the re-
public. These tens of thousands of
criminals are men who believe that
every law is a fetter and that lawless-
ness is the road to liberty Our popu-
lation includes several millions Of
people who are as ignorant of the
laws of our country as cattle in the
stock yards or cannibals in a South
sea island
Perhaps the industrial outlook for
our country would gain if, for one
week, every wheel should stop and
every engine be still, while parents,
teachers and editors turned our land
into one vast schoolroom and drilled
all children and adults in obedience
to those laws that are the paths to
national prosperity. Who shall esti-
mate the economic gain to our country
if all the people could be made to real
ize that laws are not weights, but
wings for the soul?-From a sermon

WHAT WILL BE THE NEXT
THRILLING ACHIEVEMENT?

Looking about you see many things
that have come from the mind Of man.
The cities, fields, railroads, steam
ships, ships Of the air, newspapers,
books, great factories and many other
things have been born in the brain Of
man, then became a reality. Along
with his slow progress he has per-
formed a number of things which have
thrilled his fellows. When Columbus
sailed the dragons mouth, when Ma
gellan circumnavigated the globe,
when Peary reached the north pole,
when Amundsen dared to go farthest
south, and when Marconi saved lives
at sea by means of wireless mes
sages, the world has been thrilled.
Now a bold navigator of the air has
spanned the Atlantic, and the name
OF the nero is On the lips OF men the
world around It is the latest thrill
Are there other great feats to be
accomplished, great milestones in the
progress of the race? Has man
reached the maximum? What more
can he do that has not been done.
He has gone from pole to pole, he has
dived into the sea, he has climbed the
high mountains, and he has ridden on
the crest of the atmosphere, miles
high.
1t looks as if the great things had
been done. Possibly he may be able
to signal to other planets, possibly he
will be able to find strange forces in
the air, possibly be may do few
things not yet dreamed of, but of these
he is not certain The past has been
wonderful, and heroes of the future
must rise to decidedly unusual occa-
sions if the past is to be surpassed.

HIRAM JOHNSON TO THE
RESCUE

Having attacked the president Of the
United States to his hearts content
and without noticeable results, Sen
ator Hiram Johnson of California is
devoting his histriOnic talents to the
denunciation of the American press
and people. Newspapers and men, it
seems, "are all given over to fulsome
praise" They are "sycophants and

passed" We are to infer, therefore,
that the day of the American has
passed. When there can be no agree
ment with Hiram Johnson, what hope
is there for the republic or for civiliza-
ton? To remedy this hideous condi-
ton, Hiram Johnson asserts that he
is going to speak out <plainly" from
time to time so that all shah know the
perils that threaten u.s. Having full
faith in public opinion, to say nothing
Of American horse-sense, let us all
hope that the senator will speak out

take on the part of the nations at the
peace table not to dismsmber the cen
trail powers, because if the Germans
ever again attain the rank of a first

The present power of German militar-

OVERDISPLAY OF THE RICH
