sCRAPPING OVER THE FIGHT.

1t took five years to fight the world
war; 1t was some fight.
| At the present rate of speed it will
take twenty-five years to adjust the
difficulties growing out of that war.
1t may even become necessary to
fight another war, with an entirely
different lineup of nations,
Do not make the mistake of think
ing that we have seen the end of all
wars. We have not. 1t is nowhere
/ in sight. We doubt if it is even SER
Eiously considered by the men who
really controle the affairs of Europe.
There was never more diversified
bitterness and jealousy than there is
in Europe today. Trust and confid-
ence are unknown. Suspicion and
hatred are everywhere.
The powerful allies are exasperated
at the procrastination of Germany.
They can not even come to a lasting
agreement among themselves.
In the meantime some of the little
countries are happy in the enjoyment
iof another scrap.
The volcano is daily sounding the
danger signal. 1t may break forth in
eruption at any time.
We were drawn into the last war
against our will. 1t is difficult to see
how we can keep out of the next one.
In the meantime, is our powder
dry?
Or have we any powder?

700 YEARS AND STILL FIGHTING

Ireland has been fighting intermit
tently for something like seven hulld
red years for freedom.
1t has been a long fight, in the face
of every possible encouragement and
obstruction.
The Irish, like our own people OF
the original thirteen colonies, want
the right to govern themselves. Some
day they will have it.
Ireland in a constant state of tur-
MOL, and with huge army msin-
tanned to keep it in subsection, can be
of but little value to England. But
a free Ireland, with reciprocal trade
relations, might be a profitable neigh
Dor.

s25,OOO.0O0 FOR WHAT?

What are we going to get out OF
that $25,OO0,00O this government is to
pay the government of Colombia?
BY consenting to this payment we
tacitly admit that this government
was in measure instrumental in the
secession of Panama. 1t is within
this seeded territory that General
Goethals performed the greatest en-
gineering feat of history by construct
ing the Panama canal, which we own.
+ Central and South American repub-
lies are never quite at ease regarding
the United States. There is always
lurking suspicion that we entertain
Interior designs toward them, with the
possibility of extending the folds of
the American flag to cover the entire
continent at some future day.
But we have no such intentions.
We have troubles enough of our own
without assuming those of an alien
/, race whose habits, customs and in
cilnations are not in harmony with
our own.
Is this government so great that it
is willing to admit mistake of the
past and make restitution to the ex-
tent of S25,000,000?
Or is it a cold blooded effort to pur-
chase that brotherly love that we al
know does not exist?
Or what is it?
$25,ooo,Oo0 is a lot Of money. 1t
means much to Colombia.
But where do we come in?
DO We simply cough up and forget,

deal?

THAT STACKER LIST

Including the names of valiant ex
service men among the list of shaker,
leads unbiased people to suspect thai
the persons who kept the record:
should head that list.
The lists sent out by the war de.
partment have been found to be SC
unreliable the press of the country
hesitates to publish them until the re-
cord Of each man has been carefully
traced.
If the records of the war depart
ment and the draft boards have been
50 loosely kept as to be largely IN
reliable, then the editorial fraternity
is quite justified in refusing to publish
the names Of alleged draft evsders
until information can be supplied
from q source that is dependable.
1t is better to let a hundred guilty
men escape than to publicly hunailiate
one innocent veteran.

WANTED-MORE SPEED.

In the annual automobile races at
Indianapolis the cars trotted along at
NEARLY hundred miles an hour.
| Speed? Very poor. A hundred
miles an hour doesn't get you far in
these days of lightning activity.
The automobile served its purpose
when it superseded the horse, just as
! the truck did with the mule.
But no one wants to trot when he
can gallop, or gallop when he can run,
or run when he can go like a streak of
blue blazes.
The automobile is confined to roads.
and it wheezes and develops heavy
heart action on bad hills or in mud
holes.
1t has to wind and turn and twist
and cover a lot of useless space in
order to get anywhere, and that all
consumes time-too much time.
We must have something better and
more rapid something that can dart
hither and thither or cut across coun-
TRY as the crow flies.
Flying machines? Too cumber-
some, and bad wind is apt to topple
them over.
We must produce substance that
will control grsvitation, substance
that will enable us to ascend or de-
scend at will, or remain stationary
between earth and skv.
Then for speed we must find a
means of creating vacuum in front
! of us, or to the rear. or in any direc-
tion we may desire to go, merely By

crel alton of {. control lever.

1t can, and it will be done. There
is no such thing as can't Skeptics
have been mumbling "can't" since the
beginning of the human race, and yet
year after year we continue to ac-
complish the impossible and put

The horse was good, and the auto
mobile IS better, but the apparatus of

FROM RENOTEST
PARTS OF GLOBE.
Tanlac Elements Come From Many
Lands Far Away From Here.

The ingredients from which the
celebrated medicine Tanlac is made,
come from remote sections of the
earth, and are transported thousands
of miles over land and sea to the
great Tanlac Laboratories at Dayton,
Ohio, and Wslkerville, Canada.
The Alps, Apprentices, Pyrenees,
Russian-Asia, Brazil, West Indies,
Rocky Mountains, Asia Minor, Persia,
India, Mexico, Columbia and Peru are
among the far away points from
which the principal properties of this
remarkable preparation are obtained.
What is said to be the largest phar-
maceutical laboratory in the United
States has been completed at Dayton,
Ohio, for the manufacture of Tanlac
which, according to recent reports, is
now having the largest sale of any
medicine of its kind in the world; over
100000 bottles having been sold in
six years.
The new plant occupies 10000
square feet of floor space and has a
daily capacity of $4,000 bottles. Uni
form quality is guaranteed by series
of careful inspections by expert
chemists from the time the roots,
herbs, bark and flowers are received
in their rough state from all parts of
the globe until their medicinal pro-
perties have been extracted by the
most approved processes. The finish
ed medicine is then bottled, Tabled and
J shipped out to tens of thousands Of
druggists throughout the United
States and Canada to supply demand
never before equalled by this, or any
other medicine.

RECEIVES MORE
: RARE ANIMALS

A white handed gibbon, the only
monkey of this type to be brought
from it's home in South Burma to the
United States in 20 years, will soon
arrive, with other strange forest
creatures, at the Villas park ZOO, Madi
son, according to DR.. G. G. Dwight
who has just returned from San Fran
cisco, where he met the Pacific mail
steamer Santa Cruz when it 1oated
into the bay of that city as goth cen
tury Noah's ark, bearing the strang
est assortment of living beings ever
| to come from the East Indies.
The gibbon, manlike ape, vas de
sired by the New York ZOO, but DR.
Dwight was ahead Of the representa-
tives of that body and succeeded in
obtaining the animal, splendidly
developed female, for Madison. she
has been named Charlotte Greenwood
after the noted comedienne, because
of her angular dimensions. Charlotte
(the ape) is three and one-half years
old and very tame She walks erect
carrying her long, graceful arms as
does human.
Another of the interesting and
rare types in the group that will be
brought to the Madison zoo this spring
is an orang-outang from the west
coast of the island Of Borneo. He is
quite tame, has won the name Mr..
Jiggs by his comic antics and has &C
CURED a number of habits of humans,
among which is that of wrapping
himself in a blanket when he retires
for the night.
Another member of the group is
the Burmese pig-tailed monkey, a
natural thief. When captured young,
he is taught by the natives to climb
the highest cocoanut palms to gather
the fruit and so well is he schOoled
that he selects the matured nuts only,
leaving others to ripen on the trees.
Among the rare birds to be brought
there are the blue magpie from Hima
laya; the black and white magpie from
Australia; the bantam Formosa teal
duck from the island of Formosa
the wonga wonga dove one Of the
largest species, and the bronze!
winged dove, both from Australia.
New arrivals which will charm zoe
visitors with their songs are the fam
Gus and rare Shama thrush from Ma
lay, and the redcrowned cerated
thrush of India. This last named bird
has the loudest and sweetest note OF
any Of the thrush family. It's color OF
