Harding
Opposes
Free Tolls
President Objects To
Restoration at Pres.
ent-Is Accused of
Killing Farm Bill

Washington, Aug. 3.-President
Harding has informed senate re-
publican leaders, according to in
formation today, of his opposition
to early action on Senator Borah s
bill to restore the free tolls priv
ilege to American coastwise YES
sells using the Panama canal. Mr..
Harding was said to take the po-
sition that to avoid a possible dis
pute with Great Britain and 9TH
er nations the free tolls question
should be deferred altogether un-
til after the approaching disarm-
ament conference.
y The president also was repre-
scented as preferring settlement of
the tolls question by diplomatic
negotiations rather than by leg
islation.
Senator Borah was said, how
ever to be disposed to press his
toll bill within the next few
weeks.
Killed Farm Bill
Assertion by Senator Hitchcock,
democrat, Nebraska that President
Harding had ordered the slaugh-
ter" of the Norris agricultural ex-
port credit bill started a political
clash in the senate today, repub-
lican and democratic senators
coming to the defense of the pend
ing committee substitute bill.
Republicans had criticised dem
ocrats during the Wilson admins
tration for yielding to the presi-
dents "dictation" and now were
following the same course, Sena-
tor Hitchcock said. He referred
to the presidents opposition to
the soldiers bonus bill as we'll as
the Norris bill and said the diff
ference between the ''interfer-
ence" of President Wilson and
Harding was that Mr.. Wilson
took affirmative action for legis-
lation carrying out party pledg-
es while Mr.. Harding followed
the course of negative dictation
to defeat measures to which hfs
party was pledged.
Beer Bill in Danger
Reports that the senate "wets"
had mustered enough votes to
recommit the Willis-Campbell anti
beer bill were secuted today by
the dry" leaders, although some
opponents of the bill expressed
confidence of its defeat in it's
present form. A final vote before
the week end recess Friday is
hoped for by the "drys" but op-
ponents promised extensive dis
cussion.

farm LIFE
LOOKINGUP

A noted writer declares that in
time the lonesomeness of farm life
will be done away with, and that
tilling the soil will become a popular
vocation.
He might have said that much of
the lonesomeness has already been
banished, and that the remainder is
rapidly disappearing.
The automobile has done it.
There is no need for the farmer or
his family or his help to feel lone
some these days.
Distance no longer exists for him.
With his car he can be in town at
any time within a few minutes. He
can visit his neighbors for miles
around any evening after supper,
while attendance at church on Sun
day and social gatherings at other
times require but little more effort
than is consumed in walking around
a city block
His life in many ways is prefer
able to that Of the city dweller. His
health is enhanced by the sunshine
and the pure country air that he
breathes. His life is not menaced by
the constant stream of cars driven
by reckless motorists, as in the case
in most cities. His children grow to
maturity in the purity of contact
with nature, instead of being sur
rounded by the questionable environ
ment of more congested centers,
where there is little opportunity to
sift the good from the bad. He is
free to go and come as he desires and
is not hedged around with the
myriads of restrictions and laws of
the city man. @
Tilling the soil is popular now.
It will become more so as time goes
on and beauties and advantages of
nature are better known and under
stood by those who now live by
clock and the factory whistle.

HOT WEATHER

Shelter for dumb animals is needed
in hot weather as we'll as in cold. In
fact, in extreme heat suffering is
more intense and shelter is even more
necessary.
Every animal which is confined is
entitled to protection from the hot
rays of the sun, and owners should
see that it is provided. This applies
to the dog in his kennel, the hog in
the pen, the cattle in the pasture, or
the chickens in the yard
The farmers pasture should con-
tain one or more shade trees. It is a
good investment, for extreme heat
will cause consequent financial loss.
Many animals die for want of shade
or shelter from the sun. The result
ant financial loss is always greater
that the small investment required
to bring them shelter and also COM
fort.
Another thing needed in hot
weather is much water for all the
animals. See that plenty Of fresh
water is always handy for the dog,
the cat, the horses, the cows, the
hogs, the chickens, the birds, in fact
all animals. The expense is nothing
1t merely requires the little effort II
takes. And he who has animals should
be willing to make this effort; if not
willing, he should dispose of them, OF
else they should be taken from him
We have no moral right to subject
any animal to unnecessary suffering
In extremely hot weather, do no
ship any more animals than neces
Isary. Terrible suffering is entailed il
| the shipment of livestock in no
weather. And where it is done, le
it be watered often.
Tie the horse in the shade. He viii
travel much better and render great
er service if this is done. Waite
frequently.
If a few of the ordinary rules o
hunaneness and consideration ar
observed, much suffering will be eli
, minated.

HOMESTEAD Of
BISHOP KEMPER

State Historical Society of Wiscon-
sin, Madison, June, 1921-"On the
country road between the town OF
Delafeld and the theological school
called Nashotah House, stands the
the old home of Bishop Kemper,
first missionary bishop Of the Fpis-
copal Church in America
Having established Nashotah Mis-
sion about 1841, Bishop Jackson KEN
per proceeded to purchase land for a
farm, assembling in 1916 and at
later times 248 acres. In 1916 he
built a house on this farm and IN
that house he lived until his death IN
1870. The original house, with an
addition on the west built of stone,
still stands, one Of the historic land
marks on the Delafeld road, twenty
eight miles from Milwaukee.
The I. rm passed from Bishop
Kemper to his daughter, Mrs. VII
liam Adams, then to Lewis H. KEN
per, a grandson, and it is now owned
though, with diminished acreage
by Mrs. Charles H. Lemon, a grand
daughter of the Bishop.
| Recently this Society has received
the records concerning this farm
with a beautiful photograph of the
house and grounds, for the Census OF
| Old Homesteads.

Therein lies the great danger of
future explosions.
The final result will depend en-
tirely upon the attitude of the foreign
delegates when they arrive in Wash
ington in response to the president s
| invitation.
If they come to US with the ex-
pectation and willingness to give and
take in a sincere effort to arrive at a
just and equitable status of interna-
tional relations; then we may hope
for peace and eventual disarmament.
But if they come as they went to
the peace conference in Paris, deter
mined to wrest every possible adj
vantage for their own respective
governments, regardless to the rights
of other peoples, then we may look
forward to nothing but an early re-
sumption of the war that has just
ravaged Europe and paralyzed the
commerce of the world.
The peace conference at Paris has
turned out to be something of a
farce, except that it is breeder of
distrust, hatred and jealousy, while
the league of nations has ceased to
be much more than an empty name.
There is nothing in the present
situation to prevent future wars.
There is much to stimulate and fan
the smouldering embers into fame.
Having seen the folly of a grasp
ing spirit, through the outcome of
the Paris conference, it is possible
and devoutly to be hoped that Eng
land, France, Italy and Japan will see
the wisdom of applying the golden
rule to their deliberations in Wash
ington, to the end that just, last
ing and binding settlement may be
reached.
Japan may surprise the world by
her spirit of Cancellation and con-
,cession, but to do so she must exc
cute a complete about face and march
in the opposite direction, and unless
she does this there will be no settle
nrent, no peace, no means of prevent
ing future wars.
Today Japan is arming herself by
tremendous strides, far beyond the
needs of a country that does not con-
template future aggressive conflict,
and her actions are viewed with
skepticism by many deep thinkers
and profound students of interna-
tional affairs.
1t is possible, of course, that the
the cradle of liberty, may exert an
elevating effect upon the delegates to
the coming conference.
But in any event, having taken the
initiative, it is the duty of the govern
ment of the United States to go the
limit in an effort to restore the
world to a condition where justice
and right will prevail in internation-
al affairs.
Then our own hands, at least, will
be clean, though we find it necessary
to stain them with the blood of other
nations in future wars.

B0OKKEEPINGOF
BABIES SHOWS
LARGE WASTE
OF INFANTLIFE

Since 1915 the Federal Government
has been able to keep a leger for the
birth registration area showing pro
fit and loss in terms of infant life
and death. The figures for five
year period are given for IL large
cities in brief report entitled I'm
FAINT Mortality in Pittsburgh" which
has just been issued by the u. S. De-
partment of Labor through the Chill
dren's Bureau.
Of the large cities in the birth
registration area since it was
established in 1915, Washington,
Philadelphia and New York show the
most satisfactory progress toward a
reduction of rates, through Min
neapolis has consequently maintained
the lowest rate of any of the g. In
each year of the five-year period,
1916 1920, Pittsburgh lost more
babies in proportion to it's births
than any other of the 9 cities.
In Pittsburgh as whole, in 1920
there was a loss during infancy OF
one life out of every 9. The rates
varied greatly in different parts OF
the city, the rate in the most IN
favorable ward being 157 deaths fol-
every 1000 births, while in the mos
favorable ward the rate was only g.
per 1000.
| Nearly one-half the babies wh'
failed to survive died before the,
were a month old, when deaths ar
argely due to natal and prenata
causes. 1t has been clearly demon
strated that such deaths are largel
j oreventable through care and in
/ struction for the mother before tn
: baby is born, and skilled care at an
: shortly after birth. Nearly one
fourth of the deaths were caused
: gastrointestinal diseases. Death
e from these causes occur for the mos
part in the heat of summer. The

WHAT Will
JAPAN Do

Will the invitation of President
Harding to the powers of Europe
result in international disarmament
and universal peace.
Or will it merely serve to impress
upon the minds of the American
people the hoplessness of the under
taking and the necessity of prepar-
ing for the next war?
These are the all absorbent ques-
tions of the hour, and no man is wise
enough to answer them.
The world is weary of conflict, but
no nation really trusts another.

CIRCUS DAY

Oh, the crowded recollections
When the bugles blow parade!
Was it yesterday wonder
That we ran the home blockade
Stole across the fields at dawning
Straight away our course and true
To the distant, doing village
Where the circus lodestone drew?
There the precious, stolen moments
Saw silver palace rise,
Habited by people wondrous
To our scarce-believing eyes;
Genii who dealt in magic
And their magic wares displayed
How we coveted the baubles
They SO temptingly arrayed!
Then the elephants that numbered
In their heavy-footed style
Had to share our eager wonder
With the Hippo from the Nile;
While the lions in their cages
Roaring till the wagons shook
Sure had just stepped from the pages
Of our picture story book.
Lost We were in rapt amazement
Till, as if by given sign,
Horses, elephants and wagons
Formed themselves in one long line
Then the gay bespangled horsemen
Led the gorgeous calvacade,
| And with one accord we followed
For the bugles blew parade.

WISCONSIN
IRREPARABLY
HURT BY GOV,
Blaine

From Milwaukee Journal-ln veto
ing the Northern Lakes and Wiscon-
sin Dells park bills, Gov. Blaine
hurts Wisconsin deeply and in way
that shames Wisconsin. His veto
message is replete with weak excuses
and puerile reasoning.
Under the bills, which the COVER
nor vetoes, the masses would not pay
for these parks-the money would
come from a special surtax on IN
comes. Thus the parks, while open
to all, would be paid by those likely
to make the greatest proportionate
use of them. His argument regard
ing "the masses" tends directly to
make the surtax in this case just
and logical and yet, wonder of Won
ders, he objects to this provision of
the bill.
These park bills, the governor
states, do pot create parks for the
masses. If he is right, then the or
binary man or woman in the United
States has no interest in conserving
the Glacier, Yosemite and Yellow
stone parks. All the people of New
Y ork and Chicago cannot play in
them, therefore they are of no use, so
let's abandon them.
The Northern Lakes region is
covered with beautiful virgin timber
about the only large tract of ma
ture forest growth dotted with lakes
that is left in Wisconsin. But "trees
do not grow forever" sapiently re-
marks the governor. Not forever, of
course, but trees now growing, trees
which will grow just as large, will
take their places. The folly of the
governors argument becomes clear
when one realizes that it would justi-
fly the sacrifice of the famous red
wood trees Of California. Because
''trees do not grow forever" why
save trees that will cease growing
tens of decades hence?
"Misled by sentiment" says the
governor of those who seek to pre-
serve one small part of Wisconsin's
once vast and beautiful forests. Mis-
led? Are those misled. who would
preserve a little of natures wonder
Gus work? It may be that they are
led by sentiment, but it is the senti-
ment which inspired Thoreau and
Burroughs and which made John
Muir of Wisconsin equally great.
In spirit narrowness and self
suficiency that is in marked contrast
with the wisdom and vision so es-
sential to high office, Gov Blaine has
hurt Wisconsin and her people. If
his policy prevails, Wisconsin's chill
dren Of tomorrow and of the next day
and the next will not be able to
visualize any of that wild beauty
which has always bouni US as in spell
as we have wondered through the
forests.
There whole responsibility rests
upon him, upon him alone. There are
many thousands of men and women
and young folks who will never find
it in their hearts to forgive him.
For by his act he has made certain
the death of friends that they love
and revere-a almost the last of the
