ECHO FROM BAYOU BAY

About everyone knows that Mr.
and Mrs. D. A. Lewis, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. Thomas Williams, Mrs. Martha J.
Marriott and other Baraboo folk are
living at the peak of pleasure at
Hayou Beach, near st. Petersburg,
Fla, Their hilarity knew no bounds
the other evening, according to the
st. Petersburg Independent, which
speaks out loud as follows:
About 40 residents and neighbors
at Bayou Beach enjoyed wiener
roast" Thursday evening on the wa
terfront. Building huge bonfire,
they gathered around it, roasting the
weiners and enjoying with them sand
wiches, dill pickles and cocoa. Ar
added feature was the toasting OF
marshmallows. The delightful even
ing was brought to a close with a
Virginia reel to the music of jazz

WHO ARE THE BOLSHEVIKI

The Bolsheviki are mostly cllmln-
ais and plunderers, according to DR..
Harry Pratt Judson, president Of the
University of Chicago, recently a Wis
itor in Turkey and the near east. He
says this menace is not fully realized
by the American people. He asserts
this spirit is a malevolent, malicious
and devilish force which aims to de-
stroy all human society. According
to his opinion they rank with The l.
w. w. and all should be in prison,
the fate that met the American or
SANITATION. The Bolsheviki would
rather live by killing you and taking
your property than by honest toll.
While the world has put down Il mill
tary force, here comes disease which
is greatly feared in many quarters.
The war lords were driven to their
lair and the plague from Russia is
one 20 be held in check. The Boil

of the world. mans effort at construc

BIBLE. REFERENCES

Someone has called attention to
the fact that the armies was signed
at II o'clock in the morning of the
18th day of the 18th month of the
year.
The performance Of elevens caused
someone to inquire what might be the
wording of the eleventh verse of the
eleventh chapter of the eleventh book
of the Bible The eleventh book of
the Bible is the book of First Kings,
and the eleventh verse of the elev-
enth chapter of that books says:
"For as much as this is done of
thee, and thou hast not kept my
covenant and my statutes, which
have commanded. thee, ! will
surely rend thy kingdom from
thee, and will give it to thy serv-
ant"
Although Emperor William was not
present when these words were record
ed nearly three thousand years ago,
yet they were spoken to him and, to
all others of his class. The servants
are coming to the front now.
Since the ex-emperor is travelling a
somewhat stony road it is said that
he is getting very religious and spends
much time reading the Bible. 1t
would have been well for Bill if he
had familiarized himself with this
book sooner.

SPEEDERS

The man who steps into a public
street. aims a loaded weapon on a
level with pedestrians and pulls the
trigger usually gets what he needs
when taken into court. The entire
community regards such a man as a
menace to human life and if the court
fails to make the punishment adequate
there is a good reason for complaint.
The man who seats himself in a motor
car and drives the car at an excessive
rate of speed is just as much men
ace to life and limb as the fellow who
seeks to shoot up the town.-Indian-

ABOUT E. A. PADDOCK

NJ. G. Crandall kindly loans this
Office copy OF The gregationa1-
ist and Advocate, published at Bos--
ton, which tells of the good work be-
ing done by Rev. E. A. Paddock at
NVeiser, daho. Mr.. Paddock was
pupil in the Baraboo Collegiate insti-
tute many years ago, and from here
went to Oberlin college and later to
New York. Mrs. Catherine Crandalf
Train recalls that he was most indus
trious and exerted every energy to-
obtain an education. Herbert A. Lee
was "a friend and also one of the pn-
pills in the school. Rev. Paddock is
a nephew of the late e. N. Marsh and
Is related to the Paddock family in
Baraboo. The former pupils of the
Baraboo Collegiate institute will read
the item from The Congregationalist
with interest. It follows:
twenty-five years ago Rev. e. A.
Paddock, pastor at Weiser, had a vi
sion Of an academy out here in the
vida practical school that would fit
boys and girls for the strenuous life,
Of the new state. ut must be a school
gious development, as we'll as prep
aration for industrial and business
success" SO he thought. A large
tract of sage brush desert was Sc
cured and with the help of the Con-
gregational Educational society the
enterprise was started After many
vicissitudes that might have discour-
aged a lesser man, Mr. Paddock saw
the way to place a thousand acres Of
the land under irrigation Last sum-
mHr the preliminary surveys were be-
gun and, just as they were completed,
there came the welcome news that
he Russell Sage estate had set aside
100000 for the intermountain insti-
tute, which it is expected will soon
be available. With the buildings now
on the ground and the land under
cultivation there are accommoda ions
for 200 and, with the enlargement
now possible, this can be more than
doubled. The training in farm work
and home life Is source of support
for such as need financial aid. The
cultural and classical training is Of
high order, but Mr.. Paddock and his
helpers never forget that it is Chris
tan institution first of all. What
shall this mean for the manhood and
womanhood Of Idaho? This would not
have been possible but for the G. E.
s. One word of tribute for the prin-
cipal. He is of an age at which many
men have been in retirement five to-
ten years; but he has the general
management of the Institute and is
in hourly touch with every detail of
the schoolroom as we'll as the farm,
barns, and everything else. He is
honored beyond most men in his own
city and beloved by every student.

THE AMERICAN HAT

"Wili yer honor drop a sixpence

out an old derby hat full of holes,
says an exchanger.

SPEAKING OF OTTER

A few days ago Reedsburg paper
told about an otter being killed be-
tween the Second City and Baraboo.
Speaking of otter, C. A. Briggs says
there are a number of them along
the Wisconsin river He says that
John Gillem has seen the animals
and often discovered their slides,
or where the animals playfully go
down the bang into the water. Mr..
Briggs says the animals are very sly
and if a twig is touched near where
they frequent, they will move on to
anothr place For shyness they have
the fox beat mile. Otter are most
difficult to trap.

KNOW THE TREES IN WINTER

"No tree lover should be content to
know the trees only in summer" says
summer trees may be more beautiful
than the bare trees of winter, but it
is the leaf1ess tree that most clearly
betrays the specific arboreal charac-
teristics Leaves are distinctive but
the distinction is somewhat super
fetal, for the leaves are no more than
the summer dress. When the leaves
are gone the tree stands more truly
disclosed. Yet comparatively few of
those who Familiarity know the trees
of summer can readily recognize all
their friends in the honest nudity Of
winter"

SOME TUMBLE

The other day man climbing a
fagpole on top Of Jersey City
building 1875 feet in the air. lost his
hold and fell. His body struck guy
wire and was tossed over the para
pet and headed for the pavement be-
low. Just at that moment an auto
was passing and the body struck
squarely on the heavy leather top. 1t
bounded up a couple of times and
then lay there, and was thus taken
directly to the hospital BY the time
that institution was reached the man
had regained consciousness and was
able to stand up and give three
cheers for the United States. He
was practically unintured.-

PRIDE, COETH BEFORE A FALL

That pride goeth before a fall is an
apt saying, and the Teutons have now
found If out. Last summer the kali
ser's army was within thirty miles of
Paris. and now where Is the pomp
and inflated glory Of his warriors?
On June 80 Count yon Room, in be-
half of the dominant Pan-Germans
publicly announced the German pro-
gram in the following twelve articles:
/. No armistice until British forces
were out Of France and Paris occu-
pied.
2. Annexation OF Belgium and the
channel coast to south Of Calais.
8. Annexation of the Briey-Longwy
iron region.
4. Annexation Of Belsort, Toul. and
Verdun, and all French territory east
of these forts.
S. Return Of German colonies.
6. Surrender by Great Britain of
coaling stations. including Gibraltar.
7. Surrender to Germany of the en-
tire British navy.
s. Egypt and the Suez canal to Tur-
key.
8. Restoration of Constantine as
king OF Greece.
10. Division of Serbia between Aus
tria- Hungary and Bulgaria.
II. Payment of indemnity of $45,-
600 100000 by the United States, Great
Britain and France.
IL. Occupation of French territories
until agreements were carried out,
costs of occupation being met by the
enemy.
And that was not all, for treaties
with Russia and Roumania were to
stand. Poland, Courland. Lithuania,
Livonia, ana EsthonIa were regarded
practically as annexed, while the Uk-
raine, Finland and Roumania were to
be subject kingdoms.

A DEPLETED PROFESSION AND
INADEQUATE PAY

School teachers who have remained
at their posts in spite of rising prices
and stationary pay may we'll resent
the manner of the appeal that has
been made for persons who have left
the profession to return now to fill
the $4,000 vacancies, and replace the
10000 who have had no training for
the work. The shortage of teachers
is due to no sudden turn of fortune,
nor to any phase of the war. 1t is
due TO the fact that school boards
have kept salaries at such low level
that persons with the qualifications
for teaching have gone into other
work. The disease carries it's own
cure. When the boards End the old
salaries will not secure teachers they
will pay more. But, if as an act of
patrlotlc duty, persons uuaIlned 10
teach volunteer their services at the
old salaries, the school boards will
see no necessity for advancing their
pay, and will continue the former
school-strangulation policy. To leave
the schools without teachers may be
a slight hardship temporarily for the
children, but it will be better for them
in the end; for it will awaken old
fogy school boards to the necessity of
paying sufficient salaries to secure
real talent to enter the teaching pro-

THE TROUBLE WITH RUSSIA

Scientists perform slight opera

slight operation on the brain of Rus

THE STORM CENTER OF
WORLD POLITICS

Constantinople is the storm center
Of world politics. Questions of po-
litical import are discussed morning,
noon and night. Practically the sole
topic of conversation in the embas-
sizes, in the government offices, and
on the curbstones, are of political
nature.
Constantinople is the gateway from
Europe into Asia, from the Black sea
into the Mediterranean. Here gov
ernments and interests have clashed
for centuries and either by guns Or by
oratory will probably continue to
clash for centuries to come.
Henry Morgenthau, formerly the
United States ambassador to Turkey,
has written the story of his expert
ences there at the time the war broke
and for some time after. The volume
is intensely interesting, and carries
one forward with the unfolding of
the intrigues, seldom found anywhere.
He tells how the German ambassa-
dor, Wagenheim, in his enthusiasm
when the Germans were recording
victories, confessed to him that the
Potsdam conference of July S, 1914,
precipitated the war.
He also explains how Germany
strangled Russia's military power by
closing the Dardanelles; how Turkey,
by political trickery, was brought in
to the conflict; why the allied fleet
failed in the attack at the straits
how the German government insti-
gated three hundred million Moham-
medans to fight a holy war against
the Christian world, and how Ger
many refused to interfere, being at
the bottom of the crime in the wiIful
numbering of million Armenians and
Turks.
When the peace papers have been
signed it will be difficult to find Tur-
key on the map. Mr. Morgenthau
says the Turks should be placed on
a reservation, like the Indians in The
west, and let them fight to then
hearts content. This is not in the
volume, but what he said in an inter
view. No doubt that is what will be
done. The suffering Armenians will
be given country to recuperate their
national life They are superior to
the turks, but witho,F the power to
overcome them. The Germans filled
the Turks with the idea the way to
exterminate them was to deport them
and that has cost thousands of lives
poor Armenian lives.
