Names of Flowers

A neighbor brought us a big bunch
of yellow marshflowers a few weeks
ago which we both called cowslips.
Some visitors who were admiring
them called them buttercuips, explain
ing why they were not cowslips, but
we were hard to convince until we
remembered our aunt's advice to new
er be too positive about anything we
were not absolutely sure of, so Grey's
Field and School Botany was consult
ed and the flowers proved to be
Marsh Marigolds," often eroneously
called "Cowslips." Two other of our
spring flowers are miscalled also,
the Columbine is colled Honeysuckle
and the Badger or Mud flower is call
ed Crocus.

OHapodrida
Attended School With Beecher

Baeaboo papers never let an oppor-
tunity pass spea of Mrs. Rosaiine
Peck as the first white woman in the
Baraboo rvalley. and her daughter,
now Mrs. S. A. Hawley, as the first
white female child born in Madison
Now historically this may be true but
want TO tell the readers of this pa
per that although Mr.. Hawley does
not pretend to be the first white male
child born north of the Baraboo bluffs
he is just as white as any who may
lay claim TO that distinction. In his
boyhood days he attended school with
Henry Ward Beecher and studied from
the same books until ii came to the
parting of the ways. When Henry
Ward took up theology Sam couldn't
quite see his way clear to become
"a minister of the gospel, but just
the same he has made smooth and
straight the pathway of many a poor
sinner in Baraboo.

Scientists have found out that the
western hemisphere is moving to the
north at the rate Of ninety-fve miles
in a million years. Hay-fever suffer-
ers must rely on the railroads or auto
mobiles for the immediate future.
Young men who are seeking res
pOnsible positions should remember
that universities, railroads and other
large institutions are often seeking
presidents.

NOT A GOOD IDEA

Henry Ford, the well-known editor
and manufacturer, says that one Of
the best of the ancient races had a
habit of canceling all debts, public
and private every seventeen years
that the people might have a fair start
again.
If Mr.. Ford's intention is to recon.
mend this plan for the present, ]
wish to enter my objection. This
plan would again render the rich
richer, and the poor poorer. The
average poor man does we'll if his
debts amount to five hundred doll
ars, but the rich owe millions. Think
of the injustice of canceling all rail-
road securities, and turning all rail
road property over to its owners free
of debt! Or of declaring that bank
ers owe their depositors nothing.
We worthy poor demand a better
reform measure than this.-Howes

A DEAD ISSUE

From time TO time, urholders OF
liquor traffic attempt to extract com.
fort from the results of elections
held in various parts of the country
Recently a supreme attempt was
made to interpret the result of a con-
gressional by-election in New York
State as indicating a pronounced
swing toward legislative tempering
of the prohibition enforcement law.
In a Republican district, the Republi-
can nominee was returned TO Con-
gress by greatly reduced majority.
1t happened that in this instance the
Democratic nominee had made opposi-
tio2 to the prohibition law a point
in his platform. There were several
others factors in the election, a re-
duced vote, disgust over congression-
al donothingness, the aftermaths of
financial depression, and the usual
local group vote alignments.
But -prohobitionists ignored all
other factors and loudly ascribed the

Jim Cannon has quit his Job as
street sweeper in Lake Forest, ex-
elusive Chicago suburb. There's a
reason. Jim has been elected alderman
of the Third ward and is the repre-
sentative of many big men. including
Louis F. Swift, Laurence H. Armour,
muiti-millionaire packers, and Della.
van Smith and John A. King.
Lake Forest is agitated by Jim's
election. No one though he would
gain the Office. People laughed al
him when he canvassed the town in
his flivver. Jim led his opponent by
81 votes. He is now a member OF
the school board and head of the
committee on buildings.

: l never greatly admire a man who
succeeds only as a politician. ! have
never regarded Abraham Lincoln as
a very great man, except that he was
the best public speaker of his time.
His greatest performance, in my esti-
nation, was his Cooper Union speech.
When a gawky countryman, he went
to New York to make a speech about
his favorite subject: slavery. 1t was
a performance about like a country
baseball pitcher going to New York
and winning a game in a world SER
les: the New York smart alerks turn
ed out to jeer the country player, but
he won his game, and they lionized
him
Abolition was an old doctrine, and
had its martyrs, before Lincoln was
born. There were hundreds of bust
ness men in his time who did more
for their country. Lincoln was a great
character. but not a great man. He
had an unusual mind, but it was de-
veloped along the lines of a politician.

There is doctor in the land who
has come out with the theory that
we are heir to a number of troubles
arising in our left arm pits. Now
doctors have gone to the limit on ap-
pendicitis and other ailments but
here is a new one. Just because one
does not use his left arm as much as
the right is no sign trouble may arise
in that quarter. The fellow who can
swing an axe, drive lawn mower or
WELD a gold club has little cause TO
worry about his left arm pit.

reduced Republican majority to dis
satisfaction with prohibition.
A few weeks later, however, the
primary election in Indiana was held.
and anti-prohibitionist remained
discreetly silent over the election.
Samuel NJ. Ralston was nominated for
Senator by the Democrats by an over
whelming majority. One of his oppon-
ents had made the campaign solely on
the prohibition issue. and had
been showed under so badly that il
was not worth while to count the
votes. In several OF the congressional
nominations, other anti-prohibition as.
pirants had Jared as badly.
The truth of the matter is that the
public will not consider prohibition
as live issue. Even those persons
who profess the belief that the pro
hiibtion measure was a mistake re
fuse to let any worry over its passage
interfere with their 1922 digestion
Prohibition as a fundamental policy
is settled, and the politician who tries
10 urge its repeal is arguing an issue
as dead as slavery-Dearborn indie
