GOOD OLD DAYS.

Much complaint is made about the
degeneraey of the times. Family life
is supposed to be decaying, the
foundations of morality are under
mined, the young people are light
and loose and all that This is the
constant outcry that one hears from
those who look back to the good old
days."
It reminds me of the, famous re-
mark credited to some farmer editor
of the English weekly Punch, when a
critic told him this paper was not as
good as it used to be. "It never was,
he replied. If you go back to the
writer of so or 100 years ago, you
find them still complaining of the de-
generacy of the times. If you went
back several centuries, you would still
find thinkers quoting the good old
days, and maintaining that they were
SO much better.
Human nature is weak, and at any
age lot of folly and crime can be
found The. errors of the present al
ways look big, but if you would look
back you would find even greater
faults
Plenty of instances can be found
tending to show that the world is
growing better and not worse. For
instance, take the unblushing freedom
with which votes were bought and
sold at elections not much more than
a quarter of a century ago. In many
places big blocks of purchasable peo-
pie sold the birthright of citizenship
for a trifle, and were herded up to
the polls like sheep to carry out their
contract. Today no party would dare
do that, and everybody that even
spends money freely for legitimate
campaigning is condemned.
SO it would be found in most phases
of activity The human conscience has
grown sensitive and it revolts at prac-
tees that few years ago were every
where tolerated. This creates the
feeling that the world is growing
worse, but what is really happening
is that the world is getting its eyes
open to wrong

Thanksgiving Day Will
Start Christmas Seals
MILLIONS OF PENNY STIcKERS
READY FOR CHRISTMAS SEAL
CAMPAIGN

| With the arrival in Milwaukee of
twentyhine million 1922 Christmas
seals, preparations for the largest fl
nancial campaign in the history OF the
states fight against tuberculosis are
we'll under way This is five million,
more of the gay little symbols of
hope and health than Wisconsin's or
der of last year and in addition to
the seals there is a large order of
Health Bonds in varying denomina-
lions of from SIS to $780,
Already the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association which conducts the
sale annually in utilization with the
National tuberculosis Association, is
busily engaged in the work of getting
ready for a redistribution Of the seals
to every section of the state The big
packages stored in the basement of
the Health Service building, are being
divided into thousands of smaller ones
and within the next two weeks these
shipments will be sent out to the dis
tributing substations in the various
communities.
AS has been the custom ever since
the Christmas seal sale began, the
seal for this year is distinctive in de-
sign and bears the year date as we'll
as the double barred red cross, en-
blem of the organized campaign
against tuberculosis in nation, state
and local community. The design for
the 1922 seal is departure from the
traditional Santa Claus and shows
the Christmas tree and the figure Of
mother with child on her shoulder
Beneath them is the slogan For
Health"
The Health Bonds are intended
primarily for the convenience, of large
subscribers who do not have use for
large quantities of seals but who wish
TO give liberal support to the extern
sive work which they have finance
In past years many purchasers of the
bonds have bought small quantities of
5eals also, being enthusiastic believers
N the little sticker's educational in
fluence and endorsement value as it
appears on the back of business and
personal mail during the holiday sea
son.
Handling of these seals annually
brings into existence a selling force

sales organization. Organization of
this selling force for a month Of in

an leave, home to us?
"It's nice to have your people come
but some of them should 60
Instead of that they're sticking here

other ones drop in.

And mighty tired of visitors who must

home
I'VE hauled them near and far,

I've hauled them up to faotoris and
monuments and parks,
Museums and aquariums; I've shown
'em seals and sharks
And bears and wolves and elephants;
and how I want to quit

/ am sick Of it.
81 wouldn't say a word at all about
your folks, l know
They're just as nice as they can be-

I'm tired of all the buzz and talk, the
tales of those who've died,
Pm tired of seeing all our chairs fol

'And am tired myself" said ma, as
tired as l can be.
You're only on the job at night, but
it's ali day long for me.'

CONGRESSIONAL TITLES

| A number of newspapers have
thought it worth while to comment
on the reply Of the clerk Of the house
Of representatives in Washington to
an inquiry in which he says there
is no such official as a congressman
There Is nothing new in the Ee1ated
discovery. From the beginning of the
government it has been recognized
that congress consists of two
branches, the house and senate, COM
posed Of representatives and senators
1t is true that representative is a
member Of congress, but senator is
also, for that matter.
The inquiry arose over the custom
Of printing the letters IN. c." after
the name of the representative on en-
velopes giving him the Thanking priv
ilege for government matter The let
ters 'sU. S. S." appear after the name
Of the senator in the same connection
There has never been clearly defin-
representative and senator except a
colloquialism In some sections, we
are informed, it is customary to re-
fer to the local celebrity as congress
man." and by the same token his
wife enjoys the distinction of having
the title of MRS. Congressman" In
the same localities the wife of the
local physician is known as 'Mrs.
Doctor" and the wife of the judge of
the circuit court is entitled to be
known as MRS. Judge"
Another custom, more or less in
vogue In some parts of the country,
Is to refer to the two branches of
congress as the lower and upper
houses. The house Of representatives
is known as the lower house because
it Is more representative of the peo-
pie, but it does not mean that the
member has responsibilities of les
ser degree, provided he lives up to
them.
The senate, contrary to the orig
inal intention Of the trainers of the
constitution, and in compliance with
the demand of the people, has come
to be representative, also. The origi-
nal intent in providing two houses,
one based on population and the
other giving each state two senators
was a compromise of the populous
states that claimed the right to a
larger representation than the small
er states, and the contention of the
smaller states that they had a right
equal to the larger states. 1t was an
effective compromise so long as the
| house of Representatives represented
the constituency of the states and the
senate represented the government as
a whole. The election of senators by
the people has reversed the original
idea and now the people of the re
spective states demand that the sena.
tor, the same as the representative
shall be in accord with their individual
notions on public questions.
In the. old days the senator was fire.
Quently not in accord with the pre-
vailing opinion of the people Of the
state for the time being, but in prac
tically every instance time justified
his position. Many notable instances
Of the vindication of senators might
be cited, but one familiar 10 older per
sons and still fresh in the minds Of
those who follow the political histor,
of the nation, was that if L. @. C. La
mar of Mississippi, who was practi
cally unanimously requested by the
state legislature to resign, but who re
fused to submerge, his conscience and
was reelected practically without op
position.

FAMOUS NORWEGIAN
EXPLORER CARRIES
MAIL AROUND WORLD
CBy Associated Press)


SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 2S.-One of
the most spectacular chapters in the
annals of world wide postal delivery
may be written when Captain Ronald
Amundsen, famous Norwegian ex-
plorer, wings his way across the top
of the world in his proposed attempt
to fly an airplane from the tip of AL
i, aska to northernmost Europe via the
north pole. With him in his mono
plane will ride mail sack containing
letters written by Nome residents for
delivery to friends in Europe.
If weather conditions had not forced
a postponement of the flight until next
year, these letters might have reached
their destination a week ahead of the
time required to make delivery by the
established routes. AS it is, arriving
perhaps more than year later, they
will have a priceless historical value
to their recipients who will doubtless
follow the affairs of their explorer
postman with intensified interest
According to report by Postmaster
Walsh of Nome to local postal officials,
the letters were written when Copt.
Amundsen was about to depart from
the mining camp on his way to Vain
wright, 100 miles southwest of Point
Barrow, where he will winter await
ing favorable conditions for his pro-
posed flight.
