THE DRAPER
Anniversary

State Historical Society of Wiscon-
sin,
Madison, September, 1921-Friday,
August Goth, was the thirtieth ami
versary of the death of Doctor Lyman
Copeland Draper, father of the State
Historical Society. Doctor Draper
came to Wisconsin in October, 1852,
and at once began to plan and labor
for the newly organized society. He
served the Society as secretary for
more than third Of century. He
found it without resources and with
only slender constituency. He left
it the strongest, most respected and
most useful organization for promot-
ing historical research west of the
Allegheny Mountains.
At his death, in 1891, he bequeath-
ed to the Society the famous collec-
ton of manuscripts relating to west
err history made by him largely be-
fore re came to Wisconsin. This Ora
per Collection was gathered by him
on journeys aggregating $4,000 miles
and involving all manner of vicissi-
tudes. BY collecting these papers
from hundreds of garrets, trunks and
secretaries in private homes Draper
saved them from destruction, and the
Society has made them available to
students everywhere.
The world Of scholarship owes Doc
tor Draper debt which cannot be
repaid. But the State Historical So
ciety of Wisconsin, on account of his
self-sacrificing labor of a lifetime in
its behalf, is peculiarly his debtor in
| gratitude and affection. 1t has been
decided therefore to make the Annu-
al Meeting in October a memorial to
Doctor Draper. Miss Louise Phelps
Kellogg, senior research associate of
| the Society, who is the leading au-
| thority on the Draper Manuscripts,
| will deliver the annual address.

WILL COURTS
PENALHE
MARRIAGE

The granting of equal suffrage to
women has not destroyed prejudice a
gainst granting them equal rights in
this world of business.
An instance has come to light in
Clark county, Washington, where wo-
men have had the vote for years, where
the men are still making a desperate
effort to stem the tide against women
entering business life.
An order was issued by the commits
sioners that married women should
not be employed at the court house.
The attorney general held that the
commissioners had no right to say who
should be employed by the county Off
Gals. They then made a rule that mar
ried women should receive only half
the salary paid to others.
There were two married women on
the list. The deputy superintendent of
schools, Mrs c.. F. Bennett, whsoe sal
airy was $500 year, was cut down
to 5000, and Mrs. Julia Lee, who was
getting 500 month, was also given
but 5000 year. Mrs. Lee promptly
resigned but Mrs. Bennett, it is said,
will take her case to the supreme court
1t remains to be seen whether the court
will hold it unconstitutional to penal
ize marriage.
While as at the present time there
are not enough jobs to go around, it
is easy to understand the feeling that
a married woman should not work for
pay if her husband can support her,
but if the doctrine is compulsory and
enacted into law, the legislation should
require that no paid position be open
to any person who has other means
of support.
Every legislator would regard it as
a monstrous injustice if such a rule
was applied to men, which shows the
unsoundness and injustice of the prin-
ciple.
The unreasonableness and injustice
of the men is made more apparent
from the fact that the position which
Mrs. Lee had held was given to man
at higher salary.

PROBLEMS OF
THE HOMF
And F A MIL !
A Talk With Our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters.
The First Golden Link.

The weak mothers first great blum
der in the training of her little one
was pointed out in the article of last
week. 1t makes of the babe tyrant,
and later a selfish man or woman
whom others despise.
There is a mistake Of stronger par
ents that is as serious and that re-
serves as careful thought if We would
start the child Alright in the long, hard
task of adjusting Itself to others CT
it's kind.
Even though We are truly careful
not to grant the unrea sonable demands
of our little ones, Of which there are
many from the very beginning, we are
too often unable to refuse kindly. That
is. instead of loving and sweet-tem-
pered irmness, we show impotence
and ill-tempered when we find the in
FAINT stubbornly trying to have its
way. Indeed, we often match anger
with anger and obstinacy with still
greater obstinacy. Instead of kindly
correction, which shows no sign OF
combativeness and arouses none ir
the child, we reveal by the harsh tone
of our voice, by the flash of our eye
and the scowl on our brow, by ou1
rough manner or handling, or perhaps
even by striking the little one, the i'll
spirit that is in US. Of course, we
should be above this for it is the way
of the lower animals; but the fact re
mains that we are not.
No matter how sorely we are tried
it is for US to correct kindly. If we
can keep absolutely free from the hot
spirit of anger, which even the babe
in the cradle seems strangely able te
sense, and keep ourselves gentle, good
natured and serene as we break up the
selfish little habits that are trying tt
establish themselves in the child's life
then we have won our victory; for the
conquest of the budding mind is really
a surprisingly easy matter if we our.
selves are led by our very best reason
rather than by our lower instincts.

irresponsible and immoral.

ponsible and immoral.
Are women to discard even their
present short skirts and wear trous-
ers? Knickerbockers are apparently
becoming the vogue in womens' wear
in some of the larger cities; and along
with them are being worn the sport
coats and hats of the men.
Are the women to become confirmed
users of tobacco as are the majority
of the men? There is no question that
an astonishing number are taking up
the habit in many of the larger, and
even in some of the smaller places At
present, not all the cigarette fiends,
by any means, are men.
Are the women to become less chaste
in language and thought than in the
past? For it seems undeniably true
that they are falling into the vice OF
unclean and profane speech.

An eminent Norwegian prophesies
that the United States will soon be
overrun with bolsheviki and in the grip
of the red terror.
Pleasant prospect!
Having failed dismally in Russia
after reducing that country to ruin and
starvation, it is but natural that the
red hordes should seek for new fields
to conquer-and there is none fairer
than ours.
The danger lies not on the power of
the bolsheviki, but rather in our own
Indifference.
1t is difficult for the average Ameri-
can to conceive that any power under
the sun, could upset our established or
der of government.
The autocratic car of Russia felt
probably, much the same-until he
ceased to be either an autocrat or a
car
The strongest of stone walls will
crumble and fall if the foundations
are persistently undermined.
It is so with governments, and even
our own is not immune
For six years or more we have wit
messed an orgy of profteering and
gouging and plundering such as has
never been dreamed of before.
Money lust drove an otherwise sane
public mad, and it is only partially
recovering today.
| Laws of restriction and correction
we have, but they are too often looked
upon as applicable to the other fellow
and not to self.
Such condition, stretching over a
long period of time, affords the boil
sheviki to spread resentment and dis
contentment, two important factors
which are preliminaries to every re-
volution.
L Instead of smiling at the learned
Norwegian who warns US of impending
evil we do well to give his words seri-
Gus consideration, lest the time come
when it is too late to consider

DUNN COUNTY GRADE
HOLDS STATE RECORD

Beating the former record by 81
pounds of butter fat, Bessie of Oak
Lawn Farm takes her place as the
highest cow testing association COW
in Wisconsin. The new champion is
a grade Guernsey owned by George
Vandred Of Dunn County. She was
enrolled in the Dun County No. l as
ISOLATION of which Vernon Tietz was
the tester.
Bessie of Oak Lawn Farm produced
15,440 pounds OF milk containing
1862 pounds of butter fat. Her aver
age test was AT per cent. She is
credited with having consumed dur
ing the year 5,420 pounds of silage,
1900 pounds of hay, 40 pounds of
ground oats, 80 pounds of bran, 244
pounds of oil meal, 1,548 pounds of
commercial dairy food, and having
spent 1873 days on pasture
The defeated champion is "Aagie,"
grade Holstein owned in Sheboygan
County. Her record is 1912 pounds
of milk containing 1892 pounds of
fat, made in 1920 She also held the
first place in the associations of 1919.

WHERE ARE
OUR BRAINS

Recently the government contracted
with England to build a giant diri-
gible for our navy.
1t collapsed on its trial trip and
nearly fifty American and English
airmen were killed.
Life paid the penalty of faulty con-
struction.
We can understand the why's and the
wkerefores Of faulty construction, but
we can not understand why we should
have dirigible built in England at an
expense of two million dollars when
it could just as we'll be made here at
home.
This sort Of thing seems especially
aggravating when we think of the five
or six millionh of men out of employ
ment in this country. 1t may be true
that none of these men could build dir
igibles, but the money would be kept
in circulation at home, and every lit
tie helps.
Are we deteriorating in construc-
tive ability?
Must we admit that England, with
the best of her manhood under the sod,
is even yet able to construct dirigibles
where we can not?
Where are our brains, anyway?

New Device for Shower Bath.

Frequent bathing is neces sary these
torrid days and the children should be
kept as comfortable as possible by the
free use of water. When the boy be-
comes uncomfortably warm he seeks
the water if voter is within his reach.
This is instinct. 1t is natures way
of preserving the body temperature
and the inability to satisfy the desire
often entails real suffering.
Mayor Peters, of Boston, has INSTALL
ed system of street shower baths for
the childrens' use which is giving them
great pleasure.
The device is simply piece of four
inch pipe seven feet long which is at
tached to an ordinary fire plug. The
side toward the street is punctured
with holes through which the water
sprays.
About fifty children can enjoy the
invigorating sprinkle without crowd
ing. The expense is not worth men
tioning. Any plumber could fashion
one at small cost. And what fun the
boys and girls have!
The costumes called into service as
bathing suits are assorted and often
were not intended for such duty but
what care the children if the bathing
suits are not in the latest style.
The shrieks of laughter denote their
happiness and enjoyment of the wet
ting, and arouse in the observers fond
recollections of the old swimmin' hole
of long ago.
Mayor Peters not only developed the
idea but is having the showers operat-
ed throughout the city on all hot days,
much to the delight of the children.
In other municipalities, the city fire.
men have been in the habit of cooling
off the young population by rigging
up sections of hose at vantage points.
Conveniences for bathing are not
always available but water is within
the reach of all and even a sponge bath
with bowl and sponge or cloth is re-
freshing and invigorating.
One of the mothers first duties is
to see that her children have frequent
baths, not only in the interests of
cleanliness but also to preserve the e.
quilibrium of the temperature of the
body which tends to health and vigor.

In the early days woman was some
thing of a chattel-a possession of
mankind, to be disposed of as his
fancy might decree.
Among the rich and powerful she
was an ornament, plaything. In
the humber walks of life she was
drudge, little better than a beast Of
burden.
If any person had told the kings
and knights of old that the time would
come when woman would be mans e.
quail in all things that person would
have been considered a lunatic, or a
liar, or both, and a dangerous person
to remain at large. His days would
nave been short.
Yet for centuries woman has been
forging forward; fighting for and OBJ
tanning greater privileges, until today
she is recognized as mans equal in
many countries.
In the past, doubling ones have
made dire prophesies for such day.
The rise of womanhood to them meant
chaos, disintegration, dissolution.
But woman still progresses, and the
world still moves.
If man doesn't like it he can lag be-
hind.
