Railroad Brakeman a FOrger.

c. c. Luther, a brakeman on
the Chicago & Northwestern rail
road between Ashland and Waters
meet, was arrested Wednesday on
forgery charge. He was taken
before Circuit Judge Risjord at
Ashland, pleaded guilty to the
charge and was sentenced to three
years at Waupun.
Luther's practice was to steal
checks made out to railroad EN-
ployes and by gaining access to
the station while the agent was
away forged the names of the
persons to whom the checks were
issued and then cashed them.
From Ashland comes the informa.
ton that three banks in that city
are losers from Luther $ operations
and it is known that he cashed
checks at Ironwood, Amigo and
other railroad centers. At Amigo
he cashed check for S59I.7I at
a jewelry store while buying a fine
watch. He began his operations
a year ago, it is said, and for some
time past has been under suspicion.
By comparing his hand writing and
through the watch deal he was
discovered and arrested.
Luther is 20 years old and re-
sided at Ashland, previous to which
he resided at Eagle River.

arrested by Sheriff John Morris last
Friday. He pleaded guilty to the
charge of having Intoxicating liquor
in his possession in municipal court
and Judge Thomas imposed fine
of $500 and six months in the coun-
ty Jail. 1t was Fowler's second
offense, hence the Judge thought
he deserved stiff penalty.

effort on the part of the federal

DECENCY TO
THE FORE

American decercy may be slow to
act, but it moves swiftly when it does
make start.
A case in kind is before us.
The mayor of one of our great CT
ties was elected by the better element
of the voting population. Much was
expected from him.
But like many another, he fell a
mong the Philistines, and for the sake
of future power he forsook the friends
who elevated him, combined with an
other element, and plunged the city
into the depths Of political trickery
and profigate extravaganza. The gang
soon acquired full sway and swept the
mayor into Office again and to more
reckless squandering of the peoples
money.
Then decency in his party revolted,
combined with the opposite party in a
fifty fifty arrangement, and buried
him under the ruins of the most smash
ing defeat that has been recorded at
an election in recent years.
The lesson is simple, but illuminat-
ing and valuable to all lovers of righ-
teausness in municipal affairs.
Political parties and their leaders
should be taught that they must nom
mate men who have been tried and are
known to be true if they would win at
an election.
The welfare of a municipality is
greater than that of any party within
| its borders.
I The prosperity of all of the people
is more to be desired than that Of a
machine composed of politicians and
| their henchmen.
The survival of decency is necessary
to prevent a reign of debauchery.
When officials forget their duty to
the people it is time for the people to
| remember the duty they owe to them
selves.
An equitable combination that prom
| Uses beneficial results is preferable to
hidebound adherence to party that
loffers only profigacy, debauchery and
| distress.
A way has at last been found to kill
| the beast.
| It's hide will be tanned from time to
time in other communities.

THE PROBLEMS

ANDFAMILY
A Talk With Our Wives, Mothers.
And Sisters.
Mrs. Harding's Views

Mrs. Harding, the first lady of the
land, has refrained from giving inter.
views to reporters. She has made one
exception in favor of Chicago woman
who is an old acquaintance.
Mrs. Harding is said to be rea-
homemaker and her ideas of the house.
wife's duties as her part of the mar.
rage compact is encoura ging to the
masculine heart in the face of the fear
that the housewives public duties
would unfit her for the service, which
is SO necessary in every we'll ordered
home. She is quoted as saying:
"In the first three weeks Mr.. Hard
ing and | were in the White House |
received three thousand requests for
handkerchiefs for bazars. Everp day
requests reach me for anything from
quarter millions dollars to 25 cents.
Il was asked to adopt French or
phan. A splendid work, a fine idea
though if did follow it would adopt
one of our American orphans. I have
two lovely babies of my own, you
you know, my grandchildren I want
them to do something worth while and
my mother interest is expended in
their direction.
'Then, of course, I have Mr.. Hard
ing. Every wife must have her ma
terial phase.
my big job is to keep my husband
comfortable and happy in his home,
to create an atmosphere of good cheer
so that he may go to his duties with
a mind and body fit to serve the nation
which has so honored him.
II regard this as sacred trust with
which nothing must interfere. To
slight or neglect it would be rank dis
loyalty.
every wife owes such service to her
husband and to her home. When she
has discharged that duty she should
be free to pursue her own work, her
art, her business, but that much, at
least, she owes to her family.
at is her part of the marriage bar
gain. She need not necessarily per-
form the household labors herself, but
she should see that they are properly
performed.
81 like to know my husband is glad
to come into his home; that it means
relaxation, comfort and pleasure to
him."
In the keeping of the home Mrs.
Harding is an example of true Ameri
can wifehood. Although her social du-
ties as the wife of the president of the
United States are onerous, her duties
as keeper of the home are faithfully
performed.

|ORIGIN Of A
POPULAR HYMN

The follow ing illustration given by
D. L. Moody suggests The true origin
of P. P. Bliscs' hymn, LET the Lower
Lights Be Burning A ship on Lake
Erie, bound for Cleveland harbor, was
overtaken by a storm, and as they
neared the port the pilot could only
see the upper light-the light from the
lighthouse streaming to them through
the storm and darkness. The lower
lights were not burning-the pilot
could not see how to steer into the har-
bor 1t was impossible to sail back
again upon the lake; the ship had to
go forward and for the want of the
lower lights along the shore the vessel
now at the mercy of the huge, roaring
waves, was dashed to pieces on the
rocks, and many of the crew persisted
before help could reach them. P. P.
Bliss was associated in those early
days with D. L. Moody in Christian
work, and he must have heard Mr..
Moody use this illustration, which
gives a beauty to its meaning. Chris

GREAT
ENGLISH
SAILORS

The Elizabethian era is renowned in.
English history not only for it's litera-
1ure but for England's growing power
upon the sea, and especially for its
hardy and skilled seamen, observes a
writer in the Washington Post. Most
notable among these were Sir Francis
Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh and his
half brothers. Drake was the first to
put into practice the policy of weaken
ing Spain by attacking her in America
Drake it was who made the great voy-
age around the earth in 1880. Eight
years afterward he took an important
part in the most momentous event of
the century in which he Iived-the de-
feat OF the Spanish armada The de-
feat Of this armada had been pro-
nounced the opening event in the his
tory of the United States. From that
moment North America was open to
colonization, with little danger of hin
drance from the Spaniards. Sir Wal
ter Raleigh must ever be considered
the "father of English colonization on
the soil of the United States"
