Madison-Th application Of John A.
C'Dogskin') Johnson for a pardon
from Waupun penitentary, where he
is serving life sentence for the con-
fessed murder of Annie Lemberger,
Sept. s, 1911, at Madison, took a sem
sational turn, when Martin Lember-
ger, the father of the child, was
arrested for second degree murder;
his wife and son Lewis were arrested
for perjury. Mrs. May Sorenson, a
friend of the Lemberger family, told
authorities that the day following the
murder, Lewis Lemberger, the son,
then 8 years old, had confessed to
her that his father killed Annie by
hitting her over the head with beer
bottle while intoxicated; that negro
named Davis had been hired to throw
the body in the lake and that the
family then claimed the girl had been
kidnapped. The Lembergers pleaded
not guilty to the charges and are at
liberty under $4,000 bail. "Dogskin'
Johnson will be eligible to collect
$4,000 from the state for false inn
prisonment in case he is exonerated.
He claims that his confession was the
result of third degree" methods and
a fear of mob violence.

And God made the beast of
the earth; and God caw .hat it
was good. Genesis.
As a rule, the valuable animal
receives good care. Our annual
fairs illustrate this. 1t is a mat
ter of financial gain, for neg
lect means loss. But while the
breeder of full-blood cattle, hogs
horses, fowl, ETC., is particular
as to the feed and care of his
animals, the one who raises
scrubs" is often not so particu-
lar. He. has not yet begun to
realize that despite a poorer
strain of. blood, the care of his
animals is important, nevertheless.
Therefore it is that in the out
of-the-way places and in the poor
err counties we find animals inn
properly housed and insufficient
ly fed.
This thought applies also to
the care of old or diseased horses.
As they are not valued highly,
they are, therefore, neglected.
Such owners forget that any ami
NAL must be well fed and cared
for if it is to render service. If
il is well provided for it will
render financial returns. If it is
not worth feeding well and taking
good care of, it is not worth
keeping alive. 1t should then be
humanely disposed of. There is
no greater cruelty than to leave
without sufficient feed or shelter
the animals which have served us
faithfully for many years.
The same reasoning is apple
able to the dog or to any other
animal. The pedigreed dogs is
given good care. Sometimes mon
ey is lavished upon it unneces-
sarily. But the mongrel, the "un-
der-dog," is allowed to drife with
out feed or shelter. Such dogs
then often become a nuisance and
arouse public prejudice. However,
it is not the fault of the animal.
It is the, fault of the owner who
has neglected it.
Let us realize that animals were
created of God for a purpose and
that they can fulfil their mission
only if properly cared for.
Let us be just to our animal
life. Justice to animals is closely
linked to the spirit of kindness.
We cannot be just unless we are
kind

GIVE THEM A CHANCE

Do we all patronize home in
dustry as we should? You don't
expect grass without water; then
you can't expect local stores to
enlarge their stock to suit your
needs if you don't buy from
them. We should have more CO.
operation between our merchants
and their customers. Demand
sooner or later creates a supply.
If you want something you can't
get in your town stores, tell your
dealers, traders or merchants, let
them get it for you. Give them
the chance at least to fill the bill.
With a little cooperation we will
have everybody trading at home
and the old town will grow and
everyone will prosper.

Always a Battle Ground

The persistent fight being wag-
ed in every community of the
state by the prohibition officers
recalls the fact that Wisconsin
has since its creation as a state
been a prohibition battle ground.
In 1S49 the Wisconsin Bond law
was enacted making vendors of
liquor liable for all damage re-
sulting from the drinking of it.
This law was hard fought and
was repealed by the legislature
provided for a referendum on the
liquor question and in 1853 the
people of the state voted for state
wide prohibition by a good ma
jority. A prohibition law as pass
ed by the next legislature was
vetoed by Gov. Barstow. In 1872
another bond law was passed,
making the seller of liquor liable
for all damages caused, and MAX
ing him support the families of
drunkards. In 1874 this law was
repealed.

THIS MAN

A certain New York man about
town went 20 his club one eve
ming in a bad frame of mind.
Business was bad, stocks break
ing wrong and the world seemed
topsy-turvy with him. He found
fault with the food. his favorite
paper had been misplaced. his ci-
gar tasted bad. as did the numer-
GUS p0tions he drank during the
evening. and finally. on being
''jollied" by a number of lively
fellows rOundly cursed them and
remarked: To hell with every
bOdy--I want to be entirely alone"
Going into a less frequented part
of the club he threw himself up
on a divan and was soon asleep.
And he dreamed He was alonel
The great city of New York was
before him. Everything was
quiet. He was absolutely alonel
No one answered his bells for ser
vice. The taxis and cars Were
idle. The hotels and business
places were deserted. He was the
only soul in the great city of New
York. The banks with their mil
lions Of gold were open TO him
He sought food but there was
none prepared and no one 70 cook

any. Rusty tracks, sagging troll
ley and telephone wires, dark and
dreary store fronts, idle busses
and autos testified to former
activities. Yet he had gained his
wish-he was thoroughly alone.
Not a human soul could he find.
Only huge rats and dogs, made
wild with hunger, were moving
about. They were a constant
menace to his well being. Ii was
a continuous battle for suprem-
acy. at the same time his hunger
and rest were TO be considered.
Thrown constantly on the alert
in self preservation, the fight for
securing needed food and rest
made him gaunt and his fast
growing indifference to personal
care, arising from a positive de-
mand for vigilance against hum
CRY animal life, gave him an un-
kempt, slouchy appearance en-
tirely at odds with his former
well groomed self. Yes, he was
alonel His wish had been graft
fled. What wouldn't he have Civ
en- for a friend just then? Some
one to talk to. Someone to fight
the animals with him. How small
a soul he was. Alone. In a great
city of splendid opportunities.
But of what good. alone? He
could get millions in gold, but
had no one to spend it with.
Lots of pubic utilities but no
one to run them. No lights, no
pleasures. How sadly alonel He
now most thoroughly realized the
need of companionship. He rea-
lied for the first time in his
life how utterly dependent he was
upon his fellowman. He knew
now that he was wrong and he
only. Ii was the smallness of
mean man, the selfishness of an
individual alone that divorced him
from the pleasures of compan-
ionship. He was gnawing at the
husks of discomfort. He knew
now that goodfellowship and the
little eourtesies which we extend
one TO another are the things
which make life worth while. His
soul craved the companionship of
a man. He was struggling in bat
tie with the odds and ends of
morbid, selfish life. He was
dreary and wanted fellowship.
One cannot live alone. He awoke.
He went forth from his dream
a better man. He had received
the message, age old, Love thy
neighbor as thy-self." He had
learned, in truth, that each man
is dependent upon his fellows
that it is only through cooper
alton and fellowship that the liv-
ing of our lives is worth while;
that homes, communities, cities
and states are permanently built
only upon the principles of each
individual contributing his share
to the joys and pleasures and as
suming his share of the tears and
sorrows of his fellowmen.

HELP SOLVE YOUR
TOWNS PROBLEMS

INV ~ - AAobA~A~-sAAs
In every city one now finds an
organization whose members de-
vote much thought, work, time and
money for the advancement and
improvement Of the home COM
munity TO make il a better place
in which TO live and work.
Every small town should also
have an active community organ
izati0n, with all reputable citizens
OF the town and surrounding
country as members. The pri-
mary purpose of an organization
of this kind is 10 stimulate COM
munity interest, create public
sentiment. inspire confidence, and
solve the cOmmunity's most diff
ficult problems.
Such an organization quickly
promotes community loyalty and
effort, both Of which are absO-
lutely essential in building and
maintaining a bigger. better and
buster home town.
The community organization
must arouse enthusiasm in all its
movements. IL must work with
out pay or expectation of recon-
pense for its efforts in any other
way than that of the realization
Of a public service well done.
Each and every member derives
profit only from the general adj
vancement of the community and
the betterment of the conditions
under which they live and trans
act business. They share in this
as citizens.
II is TO men of this character
and caliber that the world owes
its real advancement and its ed
ucation. The selfish citizen
leaves no record-NOthing that
can benefit the public or help
posterity. When he dies, he Is
really and truly dead" in every
sense of the word.
Therefore, the community or
ganizatiOn, more than any other
agency, deals with the human
element" and planning, as 1t does,
the best things possible for the
community. it must not be look
ed upon as an institution that
can 20 ahead and force its way
through 10 success. 1t must be
an affirmative" organization,
not a negative" body. Optimism
must govern its action and pes
simism must be discouraged and
forgotten.
The members of such an organ
ization must gather strength like
the growing Oak-reach far out
into the soil on every side-gather
the best for their community
and use it-and keep using and
improving it. Believe IN each
other and in their community.
Work for each other. Stick to
the jOb-work on 70 the end-and
then turn il over TO their child
rem. not ashamed of the effort
they have made or the results OBJ
tanned.
Community work is large work
work you cannot measure IN
dollars and cents work that viii
repay you with more than money
with a much better town and
a contented. industrious, happy
people. which is sufficient reward
for any citizen who has adopted
a his life's rule the Golden Rule,
DO unto others as you would
have them do unto you" which
Is after all the only worth while
human element"
