LET'S HAVE REAL SELF-DETER-
MINATION

We are for the self-determination Of
peoples That is accepted now as
American law and gospel. It wasn't
in Abraham Lincoln's time, but
Lincoln wasn't an idealist. He was
just a plain practical American, and
naturally much behind the times.
Poor, benighted reactionary, be sent
a million men to fight against self
determination But that is all changed
nnw.
Selfdetermination calls, so we must
answer. The Philippines send dele
cation asking independence. The
Fiijpinos haven't had much experience
in that line, but by all means let
them go. They may proceed to cut
ting each others throats. Industries
may be destroyed and the people may
starve. But they must have self
determination.
SO with the ,Sudanese, with the Con-
geese, with the Albanians, the Vlachs,
The Hungarians, in Rounmania, and
fhe Roumanians in Hungary; so with
syery kindred every trib,- on this
terrestrial ball. All the child nations
are calling self-determination, and if
:. child asks shall anything be denied
it?
Let's be through g24ng idealists
Let's let them all go. Isn't the mill
enntum here, and aren't we to have
brotherhood Of man un%er super
vision of league of nations ?--Kan-
sas City Star.

IT'S a PROBLEM OF HUMAN
NATURE

1t isn't the law of nations that Amer
leans need to know in order to pass
judgment on the great problems that
will grow out Of the peace conference
What they need to know is the law
Of human nature. Nations are simply
collections of human beings. They
have the virtues and the vices of the
men and women who make them up
We all know our neighbors in Kan
sas City, for instance. They stack up
mighty well as individuals. But what
sort of representation do they get for
themselves in government? Do we
put full confidence in what the com
mon council would do? The county
court? The legislature? How do we
feel about the police force? Take our
business organizations and associa-
tons. Are they disinterested about
getting what they want? A new man
agement for a public utility comes in.
It always announces that it is "out of
politics. Is it?
1t isn't intended to imply that all
these organizations are on the same
basis or governed by the same stand
ards. Some of them have established
traditions much higher than others.
The same situation exists through
out the world in the great organiza-
tions that we call nations. Each OF
them is endeavoring to promote it's
own interests-some Of them with full
recognition Of the rights of other ma
tons some in defiance of those rights.
In these less scrupulous powers there
the same vices that exist in certain
organizations here at home. Their
motto is that OF the INSCRIPTIONS bust
ness man: Get the money, honestly,
if you can; but get the money!
Bearing these considerations in,
mind, is it safe to confide the safety
of this nation to any League of Nations
that it is possible to organize today?
Can the world trust to promises to be
good from nations whose word never
has bound them?
1t remains true as John Fiske wrote
years ago: 1.-THE permanent peace of
the world can be secured only through
the gradual concentration of prepon-
derant military strength in the hands
OF the most pacific nations" !
so far as the peace Of the world is

AS previously stated in this column,
1919 is the centenary of many persons
in literature and history. The centen-
airy of w. H. Canfiel0, long the sur
veyor of Sank county and the writer
of much local history, occurred on
April 8, and was passed unnoticed byA
the people of Baraboo. Mr.. Garfield
was born in Onondaga county, New
York. April 8, 1919, a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harvey Garfield. He died at
Baraboo June %, 1913. Mr.. Garfield
was interested in archaeology and re-
ported many mound groups. He has
daughter, Mrs Alice Darby, Santa 4
Cruz, Calf, and son, E. f. Garfield,
also of that state.

THE LEAGUES ENEMIES

Among those who may be trusted to
oppose the league Of nations, no mat
ter what changes have been made in
the covenant, are:
Munition makers, who have made
more money in four years of war than
they can spend in lifetime.
Profiteers, who boosted the price of
everything they controlled sky high,
and seemed to take peculiar pleasure
in gouging soldiers and officers.
Purveyors of war supplies, who want
the nations compelled to maintain
huge ornaments.
Jingoes who want to leave Europe
to "stew in it's own juice" while Hwe,"
that is, the United States, take pos
session of Mexico and boss the west
ern hemisphere
Stay~at-home warriors, who think
the United States can lick all creation,
and aren't afraid Of any kind of war
Old school diplomats, who realize
that their trade will be gone if the
nations come together in a league Of
peace
Pro-Germans and their satellites,
who see in disunion among the allies
chance for the kaiser and his junk
ers to come back in the next war
People who oppose disentangling
alliance with free states now because
Washington opposed any entangling
alliance with despotic states century
ago. This is much as if one should re-
discover medicine that was used in
the eighteenth century for cholera,
and give it to child now for Group.
People who cannot realize that
steamships, aeroplanes, dirigibles,
submarines, cables and wireless have
brought Paris nearer to New York
than Boston was in revolutionary days.
Natural born bourbons, who hate
anything new
Partisan politicians, who would rath-
er see the world go to wreck than have
President Wilson get the credit Of
helping to save it.
There may be others who belong in
this list, but they do not come readily
to mind Of course the groups listed
above overlap, and equally of course
they could be split up into still more
groups. But 90 per cent of the opposi-
ton to the league of nations is here
scheduled and described with pretty
fair degree of accuracy.

In the first place the Claude for
est is not located on the south shore
of the lake, but in the northwest cor
ner of the park. The forest" con-
tains but few acres, possibly two or
three. The great" trees were cut
away long before the Claude family
sold the land to the state for a high
figure, and the ones left standing are
comparatively small. L. w. Claude
told The News it would not be neces-
sary to remove many of the trees in
order to build the road
In the second place it is presumed
the author of the editorial intended
to say the road could skirt the forest
on the east. From the position of
the wood, the south and west is an
impossibility.
AS previously stated, the members
of the conservation commission, the
highway commission, the town of Bar
aboo, the city engineer of Baraboo
and others are in favor of the route
through the woods. 1t would be nom
sense to descend the steep terminal
moraine and then climb it again in
order to save few trees. If it is de-
sired to have more woods, plant trees
in the adjoining field, and in a very
short time they will be as large as
any in the magnified Claude forest"
While The News believes in con-
servation there may be such a thing
as going to the extreme 1t was neces-

Judgment Of those most interested in
building the road.

"My opinion of Tanlac is that it
can't be beat" said F. H. Crull,
we'll known travelling salesman, living
at 312 West 31st Street, Indianapolis,
Ind, while discussing the medicine,
recently. Mr.. Crull has lived in In

years. He has represented the Tag
CART Baking company on the road for
twelve years and is one of the popu

EI"I can testify to both the imme-
fdiate and lasting results that come
from it's use,"s continued Mr.. Crull,
"a little over year ago Tgot rid of
a bad case of stomach trouble, from
which I had been suffering for two
years, by taking Tanlac, and do you
know l haven't suffered particle
from indigestion to this day good
day. I had been having world of
trouble with my stomach and awful
pains in my right side and was final
ly operated on for appendicitis. A.
ter the operation still suffered with
indigestion. I had no appetite and
what little. did eat would sour,
causing gas, bloating and intense.
pain. It looked like I would never
get my strength back and l was as
nervous as cat. Many night while
out on the road l could not close

"About this time l read "a state

case so we'll that decided to try
bottle of the medicine. Well, the
first bottle helped me so much that l
got another and it wasn't but few
weeks until was free from all signs
of stomach trouble and found that
I had actually gained twenty pounds
in weight, besides going up from one
hundred and thirty to one hundred
and fifty pounds. l could go out on
hard days work and sleep like a
log at night, and it made no differ
ence whether was at a hotel on
Pullman or home could sleep sound

me wonderful strength and energy
and such big appetite that could
hardly get enough to eat. Well, to
make it short, Tanlac fixed me up in
fine shape and I haven't had the least
bit of trouble with my stomach since
I finished my first bottle, more than a
year ago. 1 just got another bottle
of Tanlac the other day and my wife
and I are both taking it. We had the
Flu this past Winter and neither of
US had gotten over the effects of it.
But Tanlac is going to set us right,
for I already see great improve
