Ambassador Harvey and the 18th
Amendment.

Amendment.
1t seems impossible for Ambassador
Harvey to make speech of late with
out ar0using suspicion that he is vio-
lating the principle of the Eighteenth
Amendment. His recent London
speech speech at the dinner Of thePil-
grims' Society drew from Senator
Reed Dem, No. a withdrawal of
speech made by the Senator defend
ing the appointment of Harvey, with
plea for forgiveness. There were par
agraphs in the Harvey speech which
the Missouri Senator could not inter-
pref except in CONJUNCTION with some
verses beginning:
"Sing a song of siX-pence
A bottle full Of rye,
Four and twenty Yankees
Sitting parched and dry.
When the rye was opened
The Yanks began to sing,
We won't go home to the U. S. A.,
God Save the King"
Senator Pat Harrison in speech
full of delighaful irony and humor
thought he saw significance in Am
bassador Harvey's description of Sem
ator Underwood the Democratic lead
er, as "happy blend of the fine spirit
of the old South and the high spirit Of
the new" The Senator thought the
Ambassador, using the word "blend,"
was inadvertently or from force of eX-
preston, thinking Of blending the the
high spirits of the Old South with the
fine spirits of the new"
When Senator Harrison suggested
that Ambassador Harvey be enjoined
from talking, and to be told if he
! knows state secrets to keep them to
himself, Senator Norris rep, Neb.,)
made this pertinent interjection:
" Iwant, to remind the Senator that
that will not stop Harvey from talk
! ing. You cannot send word from a
country where the Eighteenth Amend
ment is in force to a country that does
not have any prohibitiye law, and stop

Bonus.

On the same afternoon that Presi-
dent Harding was proposing a bonus
for the private shipping interests who
may purchase the vessels of our mer-
chant marine at marked-down prices
at the Harding Administrators First
Anniversary Sale, conducted by Chair
man Lasker, the Republican members
of the Ways and Means Committee
were in deadlock over method of
raising money to pay the Soldier Bon
us which the Republicans promised in
the last camapign. Inasmuch as
President Harding had prevented the
passage of the bonus bill in the Sem
ate, after it had passed the House, it
seemed to be up to him to suggest the
means of raising the revenue. This
situation the President promptly and
boldly met by suggesting a sales tax
a species of legislation about as popu-
lar as influenza.
The President being one of the
shrewest politicians that ever came out
of Marion, Ohio, naturally would feel
that he had performed his part when
he passed that sales tax buck to the
Republican Congress, but for the sec
ond time the fiscal proposals PERSONAL
ly made by the President have been
almost instantly rejected by his own
party Congress, which it be known
emphatically that it was overwhelm-
ingly aginst the sales tax. The other
personal reputation of President
Harding was when he pleaded in a let
ter for 80 per cent maximum surtax,
and Congress at once passed bill
providing for 80 per cent.
The Soldiers Bonus is peculiarly a
Republican party problem. The Dem
ocratic programme of reconstruction
legislation provided for q settlement of
the bonus matter without making it
political question, but the Republi-
cans defeated this programme and
dragged the subject into politics. And
now that they have got it into politics
they don't know any more what to do
about it than they know what to do
about the tariff or the ship subsidy, or
the carrying-on of the agricultural
bloc"

GOOD WINTER WEATHER
Only Eight Days Where
Below Zero Weather is
Recorded - But Snow is
Plentiful. -

Imaginative folks, if asked how
many days in December and Jan

would reply invariably that it
was below zero almost every day.
The records taken from our
mutual friend p. ID. Walsh, JAM
tor at the court house who keeps
an authentic daily record of the
weather's "doin's," shows the fol-
lowing:
November 10Th was the first
cold day with a registration of 20

Der 10Th it was above zero wealth
er. On the 10th the mercury
dropped to 10 below, followed the
next day with s below, with the
24th and 9th giving Is and 10
below records.
The following days will show
the below zero weather as given
out by Mr.. Walsh's record; twelve

SPORTS ARE VANISHING
Winter Pleasures in Northern
Wisconsin Seem to Be
Lost in Stride for Race OF
Shiverers.

What has become of winter
sports: Why are outdoor pleasures
during the chilly months in de-
cline? Apparently the age of the
automobile and the steam radia-
tor is making us over into race
of shiverers. Not so very many
years ago sleigh rides, skating
parties, sliding parties and many
other healthy outdoor pastimes
endured from the first fall of
snow and the first tinkle of ice to
the final breakup in spring. Now
the merry jingle of a sleigh-bell
is as scarce as the cackle of the
dodo and the skating party is a
thing of mystery. Other nations
Canada, Switzerland, Sweden
hail winter as the King of Sport.
His reign is one long festival of
health-giving pleasure. Here he
is Stunned as an ogre, a fearful
being of chilblains and snuffling
noses. Probably Thomas Edison
would put it down to the grow
ing complexity of life.-FOnd du

A sncwshoe hike last week
through a portion of this section
convinced the writer that resort
men and the residents in general
are passing up one of the biggest
money-paying investments of the
day. Northern Wisconsin, or for
that matter, Northern Wisconsin
and Northern Michigan has the
territory already laid out for far
superior conditions in winter
sports than the far famed eastern
states ever could expect to build
up.
With the many lakes, wooded,
billy lands lying alongside, the
conditions for skiing, snowshoe-
ing, tobogganing and the kindred
winter sports such as the average
person enjoys, this section has ev-
cry natural advantage for the
outdoor lover. And it has no peer.
Possibly a half hundred outdoor
enthusiasts from the cities came
up to this section this winter and
enjoyed weeks of sport and health
giving exercise. They just found
that there were no need of going
to Maine or New Hampshire in
order to secure the enjoyments of
real herman outdoor winter pleas
ures.
There is need now of every re-
sort getting in position for the
handling of a winter trade. 1t
does not mean that one must
have steam heated rooms, electric
lights, running water and those
kindred appointments that tend
to detract from the wilderness en-
joyments; what is needed is a
comfortable cabin, plenty of wood
ires-and the enjoyment is COM
plete. 1t is necessary for the out
