TWO VERDICTS

She was a woman, worn and thin
Whom the world condemned for a
single sin.
They cast her out on the kings high
way
And passed her by as they went to
pray.
He was a man and more to blame,
But the world spared him a breath of
shame.
Under his feet he saw her lie,
But raised his head and passed her by
They were the people who went to
pray
At the temple of God holy day
They scorned the woman, forgave the
1t was ever such since the world be-
gan.
Time passed on, the woman died,
On the cross of shame she was cru
cited
But the world was firm and would not
yield
So they buried her in the potter's
field.
The man died too, and they buried
him
In casket of cloth, with silver rim,
And said, as they turned from his
grave away:
eve have buried an honest man to-
day"
Two mortals knocking at Heavens
gate,
Stood face to face to inquire their fate.
He carried passport with earthly
sign,
And she a pardon from Love Divine.
O, We who judge 'twixt virtue and
vice,
Which, think you, entered to Para
disc?
Not he whom the world had said
would win,
For the woman alone was ushered in.

GALENA PIPE ORGAN is
OLDEST THE NORTHWEST

What is undoubtedly the first pipe
organ in the entire northwest was
shipped to Galena by water from Phil
adelphia as early as 1888. The pas
sage was made by the Atlantic, Gulf of
Mexico, and up the Mississippi to the
Galena river and to Galena. Early
history of 10 Daviess county mentions
the fact Of the arrival of this histori
cal instrument in Galena. The organ
was built before the time that the fus
ion of tin and lead was known and
therefore the pipes are all pure lead.
The organ contains 303 pipes all but
two of which are in good working or
der.
The chimney flutes for this organ,
according to Mr.. Lyon, are no long
err made in this country but must be
imported
The organ has just been overhauled
and tuned and is in excellent order for
the Christmas festival. The united
choirs of the South Church and Grace
Church will sing the Christmas Carols
and song at Grace Church next Sun
day, Christmas Eve. The Choral SER
vice will start at IL p. M, and be fol-
lowed by the Christmas Eucharist.
Everyone is urged to come out and
hear these two chOirs accompanied by
this grand old Organ.-GaZette.

Renewed TESTIMONY

No one in Lancaster who suffers
backache, headaches or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this,
Lancaster mans twice-told story. 1t
is confirmed testimony that no Lam
caster resident can doubt.
Robert Reynolds, carpenter, Elm
ST., says: Il suffered terribly from
my kidneys. My back was lame and
sore and at times l had sharp pains
across my kidneys and then again a
steady, dull ache. Nothing did me
any good until l used Doan's Kidney
Pills, from Hatch's Drug Store. l
bought two boxes and by the time
had used them l was entirely re-
lieved of all the pains and aches"
NEARLY FIVE YEARS LATER

mended them. My opinion of them

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH

Under costly canopy
The village blacksmith sits,
Before him is touring car
Broken in little bits,
And the owner and the chauffeur, too.
Have almost lost their wits
The village blacksmith puffs his weed
And smiles a smile of cheer,
The while his helpers pump the tires,
And monkey with the gears.
And the owner and the chauffeur too,
Stand reverently near.
The children going home from school
Look in at the open door;
They like to see him make his bills,
And hear the owners roar;
And the chauffeur weepS as they de-
clare
They ne'er paid that before.
He goes each morning to the bank
And salts away his cash;
A high silk hat and long frock coat,
Help him to cut a dash.
But the owner and the chauffeur, too,
Their teeth all vainly gnash.
The chestnut tree long since has died
The smith does not repine;
His humble shop has grown into
A building big and fine,
and bears Garage" above the door,
And a large electric sign.

Three mild cases of scarlet fever in
the Green Bay reformatory caused the
off .cials to bar out all Christmas Wis
itors.
Butter thieves stole IA tubs of but
ter from the Farmers Coop creamery
at Dresser Jet The loss is placed at
$3.50.
The sale of Will Hill and Osmer
wilkins, held near Platteville last
week, totaled $1,000. Dr. Cunning
ham paid the top price of the sale, a
purebred heifer, Olson's Madge of
Hillside, going to him for $3.50.
Jack Tracy has bought the Column
bia hotel at Platteville last week, TAX
ing immediate possession. l.. Pate
naude, for years operating the Column
bia, retires. The Masonic lodge takes

Tracy.
The Rev. P. P. Peterson, Green
Bay, was found not guilty by jury
in municipal court on a charge of at
tempting to operate a founding hos
pital without a state license. The
charge was made by the state board OF
health.
Is farmers presented the Platteville
fire department with geese, chickens
and ducks for Christmas dinner. The
move was started by VIM. Huntington,
a farmer, who pointed out that the
farms close in could be greatly aided
by the fire department in case of bad
blaze.
Irene Brewer, 4 years, Itasca, the
daughter of Kenneth Brewer, was
burned to death when her clothes
caught fire in some unknown way
while she was cutting Christmas tree
decorations to be used at school.

The Mistake of Thinking Too Late.

The Mistake of Thinking Too Late.
The last words Cross spoke on earth
were Take care of my sister" Then
the drop fell
1t was a belated thought, a sense of
responsibility that came too late.
1t is the way of men who throw re-
sponsibility to the winds and find
themselves facing death or public dis
grace for themselves and those who
must suffer with them, though inno-
cent.
When a man through repeated in
fractions OF the statutes and the moral
laws finds himself in disgraceful po-
sition and exposed to public shame he
invariably thinks of those he had
hitherto forgotten. He pleads with
the Judiciary and with the press. He
send his friends as pleaders for the
suppression of publicity, and the ar
gument and plea is always and invari-
ably based upon the shame and sorrow
that exposure shall bring to his fam
lily and his friends. 1t is an old, old
story in all newspaper offices. 1t is
an old, old story to every member of
the judiciary who must sit in judg-
ment upon crime.
Cross thought of his sister Per-
haps it was the last thought in his
mind as Oblivion whelmed him. 1t
added to the agony of the most agoniz-
ing moment that man may endure.
Take care of my sister"
Such thinking is too late. Such re-
greet is unavailing.
Think first, you who deliberately
enter into manner Of life and action
that has disgrace and perhaps poverty
as it's logical if not inevitable conclu-
sion. Think first, you who gamble the
face of wives and children and fathers
and mothers and friends upon the
chance of discovery. Think first.
There comes time and place where
there is no turning, when thinking of
sisters and homes brings nothing but
an added poignancy of regret and the
sudden knowledge that the temple of
life lies in ruins, never to be rebuild
ed.
The only highlight in the obscene
life Of this man who died on the gal
lows yesterday is that in the final
seconds of his life he made that pitt
full plea-"Take care of my sister" II
he had been gifted to see the future,
if he had taken care of his sister and
built his life about her and her COM
fort and happiness as he though OF her
at the vestibule of eternity, Cross
might be humble and respected citi
zen in a home of his own instead of a
dead murderer with the mark of a
shameful death about his throat.
Those who forget only to think too
late may we'll read the story of Cross
and memOrize the mans last words.
Think first. Take care OF sisters and
children and wives and homes. Pro-
tect them from yourselves Marshall

WHO owns THE AIR2

Two radio fans have disagreement
at Dwight, H., Edward McWilliams,
who has only a receiving set, claims
that his rightful pleasure is interior
ed with when neighbor Wiley Berg
man operates his sending station. Ed.
wants to know who owns this ether,
anyway, and where one persons right
ends and another begins. So he files
a suit in circuit court, asking a def
milton of ether rights. If radio bust
ness keeps on growing and Ed. lives
another ten years, he'll probably find
that ether rights will be pretty thor
oughly sewed UP by some corporation.
The good bets are never overlooked

HIGH FARM PRICES ONLY
ECONOMIC CURE-WALSH

NEW YORK, Wis.-"Unless the Re
publican and Democratic parties re-
spOnd with a solution to eliminate the
waste between consumer and prOduc-
err, what other alternative is there ex-
cept radicalism and Socialism for the
farmer?" asked Senator Walsh, Dem
Ocrat, Mass, in an address here Sun
day He said that he had reached this
conclusion after tour Of the west
last fall.
THE farmers showed me beyond
question" said Mr. Walsh. That they
were producing agricultural products
at a financial loss to themselves. l
saw men and women leaving the
farms Of the west, in wagons which
carried only themselves and their
children and bit Of furniture, leav-
ing home and land to look for place
to earn a living.
Farmers are obtaining for their
products only % per cent of the price
that the consumer pays for the same
products. They are demanding that
this waste between the producer and
the consumer be eliminated"

A MATTER OF BUSINESS

Should a local newspaper accept
advertising from out-of-town firms
is a question that is discussed consid-
erably. Newspapers are business en-
terprises, and must be run along the
same line as any other business. Do
the banks refuse to take money on de-
post from out-of-toWn people; or to
make loans to out-of-toWn people,
when such loans are properly secur-
ed? No, but that is different, you will
say. How different? 1t is just the
idea that newspaper is different from
any other business that has killed
somewhere in the neighborhood of
seven thousand of them since 1914. OF
course it is different, in a way, just
as a blacksmith ship is different in a
way, from any other business. There
may, possibly, be individual cases
where it would not be good business
to accommodate out-of-toWn cuStO-
mers Any business may meet with
such instances. However, as a gen
eral principle, sell your goods to any
one who wants them. 1t is not at all
uncommon for merchants to object to
a newspaper advertising for out-of-
town concerns, but we don't know as
we ever U6dTu Vi lu6II d pun
to take all the advertising space a
newspaper had to sell in order to keep
away out-of-toWners.
Did you ever stop to think, Mr.. Bos-
cobel merchant that the town that gets
the publicity is the town that gets the
business? That advertising properly
done is worth its weight in gold, and
that advertising is business not child's
play? That the town filled with good
advertisers is the town that grows?
That people will drive for miles to
trade in good. live town? That peO-
pie from neighboring towns will come
where there is something good to
come for? That the merchant who
doesn't seek to build up better trade
than he now has will lose out? That
now is the time your town and bust
ness needs advertising more than ever
before because business is harder to
get than it has been for two or three
years? That if you do not hustle for
trade in the community about you the
merchants in some other town will?
That if they do not get the business
you've no one but yourself to blame
if it doesn't come to you? Think it
over. And then come to us and let us
show you how little, good advertising
costs.-BOScobel Dial

TROUBLE

Old Man Trouble has an irritatin'
way q
Of maxim conversation when he
hasn't much to say.
He isn't entertailin' and he isn't very
wise,
And he simply hollers louder when he
wants to emphasize.
Old Man Trouble never helps the work
along,
He wants the world to stop an hear
his wailin loud and long;
There's no use interferin' while he's
usin' up his breath,
We hope he'll keep on talkin till he
talks himself to death.

THE UNSPEAKABLE "X-MAS.-

For many years the newspapers of
the stationary of them at least
have waged war on the use of that
inane expression. Xmas" but de-
spite the efforts of the press the use
Of Xmas continues, and it is as
sumed that this Xmas" will prove
no exception to the rule. This paper
regards the use of Xmas" as a de-
liberate insult to Christ, whose birth
is celebrated December 25th of each
year by church services. by special
gifts, greetings and hospitality. The
use Of the so-called word, Xmas"
seems ike an attempt to remove the
association of the name of Christ from
this sacred holiday.-Carroll Times.

How the "Wets" Hate the Saloon!

The Association Opposed to PrOhhi
bitiOn. which is trying to bring liquor
back, is careful to state that it is OPP
posed to the establishment of the
saloon 1t indicates that it has a plan
by which Intoxicating liquor might be
distributed under state authority and
supervision, without the evils that at
tended the saloon. The Kansas City
Star does not believe it can be done.
1t is the Stars opinion that any place
where intoxicating liquor is sold is
certain to be a saloon and to generate
the evils of the saloon, whatever its
name may be. The Lincoln Journal
is of the same opinion. If there is L,
operation anywhere on the face of the
earth a system of distributing intoAi-
eating liquor which works out even a
fairly decent result, the fact has es-
capped attention, the Lincoln paper sf-
firms The saloon will not be brought
back by any indirect route. Neither
will the impossible undertaking Of
partial prohibition be attempted. But
isn't it touching, the perfect hatred
that the vets now have for the sa-
loon? Perhaps they will be able to
deceive some of us, but the great ma
iority will not be misled by their pre-
tense. Certainly it is the barest pre-
tense. The vets are in a frame of
mind now to assent to any kind of
regulation, if thereby they might have
the sale of booze legalized Their
eagerness now to submit to the most
stringent regulation would be anus
ing if the effort to break down prChi-
hilton were not so determined-Siou
