notice under the head OF "This
and That" In your issue of JAM %,
1890, an account of a speech made by
Attorney General William LANCER OF
North Dakota, in which he is said to
have flayed the Non-partisan league.
Does it not seem queer that Mr..
LANCER can not see the position in
which he leaves himself by these
traitorous trades against the league
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Lang
er owes his present oficia, position to
that same Non-partisan league and in
order to secure the endorsement Of
the league which elected him, he had
to pledge himself to support the pro-
gram of this same league. He was
entirely familiar with that program
at the time he made that pledge, and
if he were an honest and honorable
man why did he not repudiate the
league then and not year or more
after he was elected?
Well, the answer is very simple,
if one wished to sell hog, the ami
NAL would not be placed upon the
market until it's value was enhanced
by feeding and age. So with Mr..
LANCER; his price would be material
ly increased if he could secure high

N nlstration and then sell out their
interests to the enemies of the league
who would be willing to pay the trail
tor well. 1t is to be regretted that the
odium which attaches to such names
as Judas, Benedict Arnold and WILL
lam LANCER is impotent to entirely
protect decent people from being Inn
posed upon by such characters but ii
should be remembered that the be-
trayer of a God, nation, or state
is spurned by the same satan influence
and it is exceedingly difficult to un-
derstand how respectable people can
expect to secure the truth from such
q source.
would earnestly request that
these hearing Mr.. LANCER, before &C
cepting as truth his statements re-
garding the league, would investigate
the record of Mr.. LANCER for the
past two years and also the record oe
the Non partisan league in North
Dakota and then choose between them

Baraboo Wis.

When the State horticultural So
ciety held meeting here few vars
ago, one of the speakers was J. M
Barr nf West Allis, his address in the
al. Ringing theatre being one of the
most enjoyed. Dr. f. r. Winslow has
received copy OF the West Alis
Press which contains an article In
which a reference is made to that
visit Evidently Mr. Barr was i'm
pressed with Baraboo and possibly
dare not say in his own town what
he really thinks Notwithstanding
his statement Baraboo 1t no doubt the
center Of much attractiveness, judging
by the thousands Of people which
tarry here with each returning sum-
mer. The article in the West Allis
Press Reads:
Some years ago, the State Horti-
cultural Society, together with few
local people held Garden Institute
in the Public library. Two OF the lead
ing gardeners of the state were pres
ent, and gave valable instruction to
a mere handful OF people. The re-
suit was discouraging to say the least.
Our entry into the war was the
signal for feverish activity in our gar
dens, and we owe a debt or graft
tude to the Mayor, Common Council
and citizens who gave SO much valua-
BILE help.
Peace has come and with it world
cry for food. If the lessons of the
past years mean anything we must
redouble our efforts this year. The
State Society will send experts to help
us, but we must show our willingness
in the matter
Mrs. Strong who usually attends to
matters of this kind is absent from the
city She has asked me to attend to
the organization of local society,

Southland to get the dinner. We young
sters could hardly wait until dinner
time, and want to say We d d Justice
to those biscuits. They tasted as
though they had been made WITH
cream, and | think she said that she
did use cream instead of buttermilk.
The cream in those days seemed bet
ter than what the cows give nova
days.
We got through picking that day
and father took the hops home and
dried and pressed them into balls for
her. People those days were very
good about helping each other with
their work, for all were poor and had
debts.
When / was about thirteen I won't
to school to her again in the Bonham
district one part of the Willard
house. near the Willard crossing. Her
mothers health was very poor that
winter, and she would be competed
to stay with the invalid. She would
appoint one Of the biggest girls to
teach for her, and the teacher"
would have the time of her life with
the older pupils. We were like the
scholars nowadays, rather play than
study.
One day Mrs. White gave our class
some examples to work for the next
days lesson I get them all but one,
and that one | could not get / went
to her a number Of times and she
told me to go to my seat and try
again. finally told her if she did
not show me / should ask my mother
to help me. She answered me by
saying that if I did she would give
me a good thrashing. But I never
got the thrashing, as | worked out
the example myself, and next day at
class | had to show all the class how
to do It, as not even the teacher
could get it right.
think it was in 1883 that she
started the private kindergarten in
the old Maxwell house. sent my
youngest son, Franklin, with all the
other youngsters in the neighborhood.
He was about four and half years
old. She charged twenty-five cents a
month for each child. She was very
kind to them and always had a piece
of candy or some nice fresh milk to
give them every morning At that
time she kept cow. I think it was
to encourage the children to come as
we all know what a treat will do for
little tots. It was surprising what
they learned in the old fashioned way.
About ten years ago she moved two
houses north of me on Grove street,
where she lived till she was taken to
the county farm. l understand she
owned the place where she lived, So
she had plenty to keep her in her last
days.
I saw here once after she was taken
up there, and she certainly looked
fine. She told me she walked each
day the length of her room a certain
number of times which would amount
to two miles, as she wanted to be
able to walk that distance when she
home She always figured
on coming home again.
Hoping this will interest Miss Ruth

mate.

Only One Left

An item In a recent issue of the
News, stating that Charlie Pigg was
the sole surviving member and chart
er holder of the G. A. r. at Merri
mack, brings to my mind some incl
dents of "The dear, dead days now
gone beyond recall" when !, in the
position of snare drummer, marched
at the head of a squad OF dozen or
more OF the old boys on their annual
pilgrimages to the little cemetery a.
that place, on Memorial Days. John
Vaudeville a member of the George
H. Irwin Post OF Lodi, usually filled
the place Of fifer, and, on one occasion
remember my father officiated as
bass drummer It was on this occa-
sion that, as we neared the gates OF
the cemetery. where large crowd
awaited our coming, that the end OF
fathers drumstick flew off and over
the fence into an adjacent rye field,
which sadly demoralized matters for
a brief spell. Mandeyille's death,
which occurred sometime later, left Us
without a fifer, and one year, Henry
Pigg, as bass drummer and |. con-
stituted the entire drum corps. The
same accident happened to Hank
as did to my father, except the offend
ing drumstick head landed in a gar
en- patch as we marched down the
street. Keep right on said Hank,
I'll catch up!" And SO | did, but as

S|XADVANTAGES
EMPHASIZED FOR
!. RECONSTRUCTION
Speakers Before Series OF
Meetings Will Stress Sys-
TENS Advantages.

six points" in favor of nation
wide Redistribution legislation are
to constitute the keynote to be
sounded at the opening of the speak
ing campaign in the departments at
1870 o'clock this afternoon at the
patent office, under auspices of the
joint conference on Redistribution.
Employees of the patent office will
meet at the close of the days bust
ness in room 107 to listen to DR.. J.
standards and Lewis Merriam of the
Institute for Government Research
tell of Redistribution needs.
Six main points. to be outlined by
the speakers, will constitute the
points to be given by speakers at
tomorrow at noon at the New Ma
tional Museum for workers of the
Smithsonian Institution and the mu-
scum. and September at the. pen
sion bureau. Other meetings will be
announced.
Six Points OF decentralization.
The six points" will be as follows:
Il. Reconstruction is nation
wide movement. now under way in
industries, municipalities and states.
1t IS not a need confined solely to the
government service here.
80. The human factor in the civil
service must be recognized more than
ever before. This means that the
employees of the government must
have voice in their activities. Thus
IS seen the necessity for the advisory
council and personnel committees in
the departments. as advocated in the
Redistribution commissions report.
j. Establishment of real, work.
able efficiency rating system for gov
eminent employees is a necessity. All
workers would be promoted by this
system.
a. Periodic efficiency increases or
automatic promotions would back up
the efficiency rating system and would
make the latter more effective and
constitute the rewards of the workers.
.. The efficiency ratings would be
public. This would do away with all
possible favoritism.
80. The right of appeal for gov
eminent workers is essential. The ap-
peal committee Endorsed by the re-
classification commission is favored"
Needs of Rehabilitation.
Somewhat along these lines the
speakers in the departmental cam
paign will endeavor to point out to
the civil service workers themselves
the essential needs of reclassi6cation
and what it will do for the workers.
among the clerks that if reclassifca-
ton legislation adapted to the needs
of the workers here is ever to be
enacted it will have to come as the
result of the active endeavor of the
civil service employees themselves.
They have sat back and seen the
monumental report of the reclassffica-
ton commission quietly placed on a
shelf and forgotten, they declared, and
are now determined to push the mat
ter themselves. This viewpoint led to
the formation of the joint conference
1t was then realized that many of
the employees themselves had been luke
warm in their attitude toward the
necessity for Redistribution legisla-
ton. Accordingly. it was deemed best
to invade the departments and bureaus
with the message of reclassif1cation
