The moon door at Chilling is round

she steps over its high sill, may spread
wide her arms and still not touch its
rim with the tips of her fingers.
Sometimes across the courtyard is
another moon door, and beyond it, like
a smaller concentric circle, still an
other leading on through that Chinese

The moon door is but single fea-

lost in a maze of courts and galleries
and covered passages and isolated
rooms.
The whole is China, old China and

the greatness of old China. But the
laboratories and dor1nitories, libraries
and studies made from the old rooms
of state and ceremony are modern,

Mayor McHenry, the ex-preacher mayor of
Oshkosh has his eye on the U. S. Senatorship.
His claim to greatness is due to the fact that he
is about the only man that ever disgraced the pull
pit and insulted the women of the congregation
by espousing the cause of booze, the biggest
trial in the lives of the majority of women. AS
a clever advertising novelty for the Order Of
Camels which he has ostentatiously joined, he
may have some value. For U. S. Senator, or
mayor of Oshkosh or even Eureka, he has abso-
utey none and far better material for either pur-
pose could be secured about four miles this side of
Oshkosh.

FRIDAY, FEB. 20, 1920

Senator LaFollette is taking an active part in
Wisconsin political matters again and will make a
strong fight to have his slate of national delegates
elected. This would give him 26 votes in the Re-
publican convention which, in view of the present
uncertainties regarding presidential candidates,
might make him leading power in the dictaton
of the platform and the nominee. The Socialist
party always friendly to him, will be apt to sup
port his delegates rather than the Philipp-West
combination. He is supposed to be behind the
Thompson movement to unseat Senator Lenroot
next fall and if he elects his delegates in April
Thompson stock will advance fast and the other
wing of the Republican party will do well to get
together on candidate acceptable to the state at
large. The Eleventh District may be assumed to
be for Senator Lenroot first last and all the time.
We doubt very much if the rest of the state feels
that way about it. AS a matter of fact, the man
who should have the support of that party is Fran
els E. McGovern, the first man to declare himself
as candidate for the vacancy caused by the
death of Paul Husting. Mr.. Lenroot on the other
han0, was as slow about declaring himself as a
girl would be to change her stockings in barber
shop. Then with world affairs at most critical
STAGE in the interests of the national welfare Mr..
McGovern withdrew and made Lenroot's election
possible and only for that Thompson might be our
senator now The state of Wisconsin owes a
large debt to Mr.. McGovern in our estimation.

DRY PARTY OPENS
ANNUAL MEETING
Delegates for Bryan, But Di-
vided on Whether to
Nominate Him.

LINCOLN, Neb, July 21.-The pro-
hibition party opened its thirteenth an
nual convention here today, prepared
to give over much of the three days
Of day and night sessions to jubilation
over the downfall of John Barleycorn.
To this end several celebrations have
been arranged and dozen or more
orators have prepared speeches teilcl-
tating the party on its fight against
lquor and condemning the Republican
and Democratic conventions for lack OF
definite action on the question.
Indications were that sucn matters
as nominees and platform planks
would give way for at least two days
to the jubilee. x-,
The opening session, however, found
the delegates apparently facing the
peculiar situation OF being almost
UNANIMOUSLY in favor of William ]. Bryan
as their presidential nominee and yet
being divided as TO whether the conVen- =
tion should name the Nebraskan as It's
leader in the fall election.

the foremost question before the dele
gates. Mr. Bryan's friends here. who
claim to be speaking for him, tlrmly

series of night conferences by other
delegates resulted and today there was
definite movement to prevent Mr..
Bryan's nomination on the ground that
he should not be placed in an embar-
RAISING position, although the delegates
working against his nomination de-
clared they personally favor It If he
would accept. Nominations are not
scheduled until Friday.

according to announcements Wednesday.
The city board. it is understood, will
proceed with their work on these books
as they have with the realty and per-
sonalty, unless stopped by legal process
In his letter to Mayor Paine advising
that the ad valorem assessment books
had been. turned over to the city clerk,
Mr. Scarborough called attention to the
law as interpreted to him, and under
his attorneys construction of the law,
there is no provision for a board of re
view insofar as the ad valorem assess
ment is concerned.
The contention Of Mayor Paine has
been that the real estate In the city
was bearing more than it's just share
of the tax burden. 1t has been the
policy of the city board as well as the
advisory committee 10 so equalize the
personally and other taxes that they
would bear their pro rata of the total
tax.
When the merchants ad valorem as
sessment was submitted it was many
millions below the estimates previously
made by the mayor and commissioners
The city took the position that the
board of equalization had perfect right
to review the assessment and make
this policy will be followed. unless some
citizen seeks to stop the work by legal
process.
