PUBLIC FORUM
LEWIS DENIES AUTHORSHIP

To the Lancaster Baseball Club,
association and the Lancaster public.
An article appearing in the Platte
Vile Witness in its issue of July 26,
signed observing Fans" the general
purport of which makes it appear
that games played by both Lancaster
and Platteville with the Union Giants
were framed. l understand from
friends and business men that l am
held responsible for the publication
of this item in the Witness.
| have no connection with this ar
ticle in manner whatsoever. 1t came
to me as much a surprise as it did
to those who resent it and | want the
reading public to know that it was
written by a baseball fan whose name
is known to me. He informed me him
self that he had sent i in and not
until it was in type and published did
I see any part of it.
Personally / have commended the
Lancaster Baseball Club all season.
| have been after DR.. Doolittle for
weeks to furnish me with several
photos of the Lancaster club, with a
sketch of each player on the team
that l might submit them with the
reading matter to the state dailies.
some of which have made this request
of me- l have no i'll will Of any sort
against the Lancaster club, the man
agement and certainly none against
the good people of Lancaster.
The entire Lancaster force is EMIT
led to great credit for building up a
good team, for the united support it
receives on all hands from the sport
loving public of Lancaster and it's
business people. For town of the
size l question if there is another in
stance in the state where so strong a
showing along such lines has been
made.
1t is a good advertisement for Lam
caster to have so good baseball club.
1t is good advertisement to this sec
ton of the state. Certainly it is not
conducive to good feeling between the
business interests of the two towns to
engender bad feeling because a few
fans will ride each other in the heat
and excitement of close ball games.
| feel confident that those to whom
this appeal is made will eXonerate me
fully from any connection with the ar
ticle in question when the facts are
made public. I have no desire what
soever to stir up controversy be-
tween the two cities over baseball.
Believing in the fair-minded sober
sense of the Lancaster people l sub
nit my case to their judgment.
Very Sincerely Yours,
J. H LEWIS.

cause the big vote lies that way.
We think this attitude cheapens the
full effectiveness Of any gifted man.
We see it reflected in other ways.
Farmers have been told continually
that they are being robbed and plum
dered. When a sufficient amount OF
this propaganda has been spread
abroad the farmer falls an easy prey
to some scheme to bust the aforesaid
piunderer and enrichen himself. Gen
orally, at the end, he finds himself
sadder, sometimes wiser and certain
ly out of pocket.
Laborers are taught to believe that
capital is exploiting them. Labor has
gotten to the point where it hates and
suspects every move of capital.
Strikes, bombing, sabotage and muir
der are the results of laDor's suspic-
ion unclaimed.
This attitude is wrong and defeats
the work of those who are working
for brotherly cooperation. Interest
in the welfare of their employees taken
by enlightened modern employers has
done wonders in the past few years
but the work is continually hampered
by the ignorant, destroying beast OF
class hatred.
We do not believe in classes or class
feeling We feel that the worker has
a dignified and honored place in the
world, contributing as he does daily
to the needs of the world. We believe
that honest capital also has a place
and that it can nobly fill that place.
This has nothing to do with the gen
eral adherence of the numbering
labor gunman or the brutal exploiting
employer Both of these with the
frivolous idle rich class are unhealthy
and abnormal spots that will even
tually be shorn away from the body
of a well organized human society.
The duty of all leaders is to make
the way clear for justice, tighten the
burden of the oppressed and poor
fight for knowledge and truth. APP
peals to class feeling will not help
this program.

STIRRING UP CLASS FEELING

With one note OF MRS. La roulette S
speech here Friday the Herald finds
itself in radical disagreement. 1t was
the inference that riches meant
crookedness and poverty all honesty.
This inference made so freely by
Senator La Toilette himself and
others of his type of mind strikes US
nothing short of demagogism.
We have been told until many of us
believe it that wealth is mostly cor
rupt. We have ,lso been told that
poor people have a mortgage on vir-
tue.
The Herald contests this propagan-
da. All rich people are not crooked
because some rich people are crook
ed. All poor people are not honest
because some poor people are honest.
Both riches and poverty afford temp
tation toward dishonesty but it de-
ponds upon the individual and nothing
in the thing itself as to whether or
not the mind of the person is crooked
or straight.
Poverty is misfortune and no dis
grace but there is nothing particular
~ commendable about it, no particu-
lar virtue in it. Wealth is fortunate,
cft-times for the possessor, but there
is no particular virtue in wealth
either. But most people are closer to
poverty than to wealth and the cry of
the demagogue goes their way be-

stopped and spent the evening Win
Cutler Borah, who is also known py
scores of Wisconsin people. He SAID
he was very favorably impressed with
California, but still was glad to see
any one from Wisconsin to talk over
old times.
To complete our journey we had to
cross over the Sierra Nevada noun
tains. Here the highway leads over
twenty-nine miles of mountain roads:
The road was made of concrete and
the only precautions necessary were
drive slowly" and keep to the
right"
In Los Angeles we took an apart
ment at 1.-THE Pennsylvania apert-
ments' and then went out every day
to view some different territory. We
took in the beach at Venice and there
went in bathing in the ocean for the
first time, and certainly enjoyed II
very much.
The next day we boarded the steam
shin "The Avalon" for a trip to Santa
Catalina Island. This trip was very
ENJOYABLE and should have been more
so had | not been troubled with sea
sickness" The Island is of noun
William Wrigley, Jr., the chewing
gum man., who has mansion built
out on the rocks on the island. The
other interesting items there were the
glass bottom boats and Boos Bros.
cafeteria.
Before leaving Los Angeles we
called on the Theo. Calvin family at
Hollywood. Although Mr.. Calvin IS
very feeble and in poor health most
of the time, he still loves to tell OF MS
experiences in Wisconsin.
On July % 1 reluctantly said good
bye to my uncle and aunt who mad
shown me such an enjoyable time and
started back to Wisconsin, while they
started back to Napa. The weather
was very warm crossing the desert
on my return, but I arrived safely in
Cassville on Tuesday, August l, hav-
ing enjoyed every single minute OF my
trip.
Yours truly,
FERN SHABEN.

Last September the body of Corpor-
al Archie Redden, OF Sioux City, kill
ed in action IN France, was buried at
Sioux City by his family. Just the
other day another body arrived which
had been identified as that of Redden.
The casket was opened, and the body
was identified by his family. The body
buried last September proved to be
that of a New York soldier in the
same regiment, which goes to show
the soununess of Col Roosevelt's con-
tention that where the tree falls let
it lie" that the boys should not be
brought from France.

OBITUARY-MRS. JUDD

Helen Patterson, daughter of David
B. and Camelia M Patterson, was
born in Smelser township, Grant
county, April IS, 1853. Her girlhood
days were spent on the old home
stead. In 1870 she married Henry G.
Judd, a native of New York and a
soldier of the Civil war. About two
years later they went to Dakota, but
remained only a brief period, after
which they returned to Wisconsin and
spent the remainder of their married
life in this locality.
During these years seven children
were born to them.
Charles Burton, deceased, Leroy,
deceased; nellie (now Mrs. Will Nor
kim of Bloomington, wisconsin,;
Mable (now Mrs. Bruce Hester of
Vale, Oregon; Florence (now Mrs.
John Webster of Harold S. Dakota)
Myrtle, deceased, and Vernon, now of
Bellevernon, Penn.
They located permanently in Lam
caster in 1902, where Mr.. Judd died
in 1910 After the death Of Myrtle
and Leroy in 1913, the home was
broken up, and Mrs. Judd spent her
time visiting her daughters and other
friends until after the return of her
son Vernon from his service in
France in June, 1919, when she again
made her home in Lancaster. The
winter of 1920-21 was spent in Flori-
da, and last Fall she went to Los
Angeles, California, where her son
Vernon, resided. After visit with
him, she went to Oregon in April; and
in June came to New England, N. D.,
for visit with a niece, where she
was taken suddenly and seriously i'll
on June 9th. Mrs. Morkin at once
went to her and was able to bring her
home to Bloomington, where all that
was possible was done for her, but
to no avail. She passed away Friday,
July 21st,
Three daughters and one son, nine
grandchildren, two brothers and one
sister are left to regret her early
passing. The gap in the family cir
Gle caused by the death of four of its
members was cause of deep grief
to the devoted wife and mother. But
her Christian faith sustained her and
after the first shock was over her
grief was put away where only she
and her Maker ever saw it. Industri-
Gus and neighborly. she was always
busy either in her own nUme Or
bringing Cueer anu COnIoIL luIo OIHSI
homes. She loved to meet new people.
and to keep in touch with them and
made many warm friends on her
travels. She was very progressive
and liked to keep abreast of the
times. Our grief is not hopeless be-
cause we feel she has just passed on
into another phase of life, lost to our
sight around bend in the road as it
were, and presently we shall see her
again.

The newspapers report a low-down
trick at Sigourney, Iowa. 1t is said
that restaurant man recently gave
a radio concert to a crowd of appre-
ciative listeners. Later it was found
that the radio" music came from a
photograph hidden in the cellar. How
ever, it was probably as good as real
radio concert, and certainly there was
less breaking in Moreover, the
real thing does not always produce
the best results-the best Hawaiian
music, for example, is produced by the
talking machines" and not by the
real Hawaiians who tour the country

Lieutenant Governor, George F.
Comings believes in consolidation.
He thinks the country schools should
be community centers, that they
should be in tue open country, that
they should provide class rooms, an
auditorium, a home for the teachers
and a garage where autos and farm
machinery could be repaired by the
rural school boys under competent
teachers. He thinks the curriculum
should include thorough business
training in the business end of the
farm.

AS DEEP AS 1T is BROAD

Inc university OF Wisconsin OHefS
a course in humanities. Fond du Lac
high school has just put in a course
III character education. George Ber
nard Shaw said in recent London
lecture that while reading, writing,
and arithmetic are essential, knowl-
edge of the code of morals is equally
essential. The pupils should be
trained, he said, in the initiation of
plans and purposes. Routine should
be subservient to achievement. The
community relationship of the pupil
should be recognized and enforced. 1t
is the business Of the state to see
that no man escapes his responsible
ties as a citizen. "Re ought to put
back into the common stock as much
as he has taken out. Then he should
make an extra contribution, else his
country will not improve and human
ity will not advance"
These things are signs of the times.
We are beginning to demand depth as
we'll as breadth in education, strong
foundations of character building, So
cial possibility, personal initiative,
and training for leadership. AS Prof.
Carl Fish of the University points
out in speaking of the course on hui
manities, THE purpose is to give men
and women the best possible prepare
ton to be leaders. The strong
leadership of the period of the Revo-
luton is lacking in this age"

Fifty per cent of the jokes are made
about plumbers and 25 per cent about
mothers-in-law. You seldom see
joke about a printer. The reason is
that for a hundred years or more, up
till the last half decade, printers were
Jokes. They boosted everybody and
everything and did not have sense
enough to charge a living wage for
their services. Then few of them
woke up and now the majority of
them are prospecting the same as
other business men of equal intelli-
gence. Occasionally you will find one
of the old kind who will work for
nothing rather than let his competi-
tor have it, but he is few and far be-
tween.
OLD MINISTER ADVISES WIVES
A wise old minister, before parting
with a young couple he had Joined in
matrimony used to slip a card into
the brides hand on which was printed
this advise: when you marry him
love him. After you marry him study
him. If he is generous, appreciate
him. When he is sad cheer him.
When he is quarrelsome, ignore i'm.
If he is noble, praise him. If he is
slothful, spur him. If he is secretive,
trust him. If he is jealous, cure him.
If he favors society, accompany him.
When he does you favor, thank him.
When he deserves it, kiss him. Let
him think how we'll you understand
him, but never let him know that you
manage him.
