Radicals Not i'm Control at Madison
J. G. Ralston, staff correspondent,
writing from Madison to The Milwau-
kee Journal, says:
"The significant roll calls, the two
branches of the legislature settled
last week that there will be no gen
eral overhauling of the constitution.
Constitutional decisions go deep
enough to reveal a good deal of the
legislative mind. In this case they
show that the radical movement of
last year did not go as far as many
thought it had. The solons don't care
about demolishing the structure built
by the fathers. They may tack on a
shingle or put in a new girder here
and there but the edifice of our rights
and liberties will stand.
"The assembly killed the Kiesner
resolution for a constitutional con-
vention, SO to 40, thus ending the
talk for wholesale revision. In the
senate the Arnold resolution to wipe
out constitutional restriction with
respect to internal improvements
was showed under Is to IL. Both
resolutions were supported by coal
ition of Non-partisan leagurers and
Socialists, aided by few Republi-
cans. The vote discloses that these
groups cannot control on vital meas
ures. Kiesner and Arnold are mem
bers of the Milwaukee Socialist dele

Gymnasium News

The basket ball game with Dodge
vile last Saturday evening closed a
most successful year for our city
team. The game itself was quite an
interesting one. In the first five min
utes of play the Dodgeville quintette
had five points to our none. 1t
looked as if something had to be
done. Skier came to the rescue and
from that time on the old time pep
was present. Our boys took the lead
and closed the game with 81 points
in their favor. The Dodgers only
gained four more, making their total
number nine.
We as citizens feel mighty proud
of this team. Comparing their rec
ord with the record of the other win
ming teams of the country the score
against the opponents stands equally
as high. Our city teams score is $40.
The opponents score is 1872
We wish to take this opportunity
to thank the people for their mani
tested interest in the team and their
work. We hope that this will only
be beginning of similar teams that
should follow in the future.

The Love of God

To my Fellowmen: In order to be
filled with that which is good, you
must first be filled with the love of
God There is no true repentance
but that which begins with the love
of God and Righteousness. l have
vowed to the holy God more than g.
thousand times that / would live a
holy life, and never have l kept my
vow; I now make no more vows, for
l know well l shall not keep them.
If God will not be merciful to mo
for Chist's sake, and grant me
happy death when | leave this world,
cannot with all my vows and good
works stand before HIM must
perish.
Look to the wounds of Jesus
Christ, to the blood he has shed for
you; it is there you will Sc the
mercy of God.
Instead of torturing yourself with
your faults, cast yourself in the arms
of the Redeemer, trust in Him, in the
Righteousness of His life and in the
expatatory of his death.
Do not shrink from Him, God is
not against you, it is you who are es-
l'tranged and averse from God.
Listen to the Son of God. He be-
came man to assure you Of divine
favor. He says to you, "You are my
sheep, you hear my voice, none shall
pluck you out of my hand"

The Wishing Ring

First rehearsals will be held at the
Parish House. Director will arrive
Friday morning.
"The Wishing Ring" John B.
Rogers latest production for anna
teurs, which will presented in this
city at Municipal theatre, March 20
and 30, under the auspices of Trinity
and ST. Georges Guild, gives hopeful
signs that the time has struck when
the theatrical entertainment pendu-
lum must swing the other way.
Realizing that men and women,
and even large numbers of children
of the present day, are dissatisfied
with sensational extravaganZas of
the "High Jinks" order, maudlin
melodramas, sex and problem plays,
Mr.. Rogers has written bright,
wholesome and musically tuneful
play in which parts are all portrayed
by the friends of childhood inhabit-
ating the mystical haunts of "Story
Book Land"
Charm" is the word that best
describes this latest Rogers produc-
ton, and it's appeal is alike to all
ages, all tastes and inclinations. A
cast of 125 is required for the pro-
duction ranging from the tiniest tot
in the kindergarten, through the
grammar and high school, to men
and women, who will impersonate
dear old favorites such as "King
Cole" and the fussy busy-body old
Lady Who Lives in a Shoe"
Leading characters will be essayed
by young men and women prominent
in local social circles. These include
"Bo-Peep," MARY Quite Contrary
Marjorie Daw," "Simple Simon,'
"TomTom, the Piper's Son." and
others as familiar. The modern
touch will be introduced by a band
of suffragettes, and there will be
dances not too modern.

Large Cast and Groups of Dancers
To Participate.
Much interest has been awakened
in society circles and especially
amongst the younger set by the an
nouncement that rehearsals for the
dainty musical fantasy, "The Wish
ing Ring" are to begin Friday after
noon. The director is due to arrive
Friday morning, and the first re-
hearsals are called for that afternoon
and evening. Starting at 2:30
o'clock the Snowdrops and Imps will
meet. Other groups including
Knights and Ladies, Military Maids,
and Nymphs will come at 800 and
400 o'clock. In the evening the
principal characters will assemble at
500 o'clock when parts will be given
out and any minor changes made in
the cast.
Practically all of the selecting has
been done by the committee, but of
course small changes may be neces-
sary when rehearsals are under way.

The Churchman: No president has
ever returned to private life deserv-
ing in such abundance the sympathy
of his fellow citizens as does Mr..
Wilson. In his reticence and seclu-
sion he has not invited pity. But, or
dinarily, there is nothing which men
and women are more ready to give.
For eight years he has carried an al
most superhuman burden. He has
been a valiant fighter for causes to
which his conscience bade him dedi-
cate in singleness of mind the energy
of his whole being. There have been
depths Of tragedy in that angular
career. It's heights have been swept
with winds of the Spirit that make
the dullest hearts admire In a crit
ical hour in history he was a maker
of words which touched and troubled
the soul of the whole race. That i'm
plies a gift higher than rhetoric; it
is the gift of prophecy. Long after Mr.
Wilson's death the phrases which he
coined will sit in judgment upon
governments and will mould revolu-
tions in human affairs.
