OWlish writer's assure us that our
presidents work themselves to death.
No doubt a president can work him
self to death if he unwisely assumes
duties beyond his power to handle. A
look at Coolidge's face assures US
that he has enough New England
granite under his skin to make him
resist a good deal and enough sand 20
reject worry and work ne cannot
handle.

him an apology. But they won't make
it.
Condoning a crime like bank loot
! ing would be about as popular as
sticking up for the kaiser was during
the war. Of two men, one who robs q
/ bank from the outside and one who
! lOots a bank from the inside, the
former is to be more respected. He
makes no pretense and breaks no
trust. You understand what he is
and prepare for him. One can't pre-
pare for a violation if trust.
Nevertheless, when we see a man
down and away down with no further
depths of misery or degradation ond
then see him still violently assailed
and abused we think Of two sayings
One is: Judge not lest We be
judged" The other: He that is with
out sin among you cast the first
stone"
And then while you are in a for
giving mood along comes hard
working, honest chap who saved and
scraped for years. He has a sick
wife and heaps Of expense and
, trouble. He trusted and lost his saw
ings-$1, 10000 He doesn't swear or
complain but he has hopeless, worn
look on his face-as though the bot
tom had gone out of life for him.
While he was denying himself tc
save this money the men he trusted
were squandering it foolishly and
having a h of a riotous, good time
Then you think Indignantly that no
punishment is too heavy for such a
gross violation of trust.

Saving the WinniShiek
For Wild Life Preserve.

A battle is on now between utilitar-
ianism on one hand and sentiment on
the other.
Proponents of the proposed Win
nishiek bottom drainage project, near
Ferryville, are determined to go ahead
with their plan to drain an area OF
river swamp land twenty miles long
and several miles wide. The scheme
is to erect a river dixie to keep OUT
flood water and to Zig an inland canal
next to the bluffs to carry away
swamp water When the land is
drained some 1900 acres of swamp
will become fertile pillow land
Opponents Of the scheme say it
would destroy one Of the few remain
ing wild life preserves on the upper
river Winnishiek bottom is the habi-
tat of many species OF wild fowl and
fur bearing animals and the ponds
and slOughs the breeding place OF
much fish life. From a natural stand
point the bottom is a place of prime
interest

High Cost of
State Government.

On page two of this issue will be
found an Illuminating and infOrma~
tive report. 1t deals officially with
the actual figures on cost of state
government in Wisconsin The cost
per capita and the heavily increasing
expense of operating the state gov
eminent is truly alarming. One won
ders: Where will it end?"
State government for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1922, the last report
available, cost the people $34 ,408, liz,
or 1892 per capita. In 1915 the COST
was $641 and in 1918 it was $6.48. In
four years then the cost per capita
doubled
What do we get for this tremen-
dous outlay Of money? How do we,
the people, benefit? The state gov
eminent, Indifferent and extravagant
as it must be, is on trial although it
may not sense it.
We feel that the rapidity OF pater
nalistic growth in this state is at the
bottom Of the increased expense.
Some of the manifestations of pattern
alism would be ridiculous and pitiable
were their costs not so alarming
Outside of Wisconsin this state is
regarded as perhaps the most social
istic in the world. To our mind the
true progressive movement of the
nineties has lost its impulse entirely
and we have left only an expensive
and lusty bureaucracy.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1923-08-29

Some thirty individuals own the
land. They claim natural and legal
right to reclaim it. They say it is
ridiculous to expect them to keep on
paying taxes on unproductive land
when by drainage they turn a liabil-
ity into an asset. From every prac-
teal standpoint they are right.
Opposed to the drainage idea are
numerous residents of nearby towns,
sportsmen, fishermen and the like
Enlisted in their behalf is the Izaak
Walton League of America and nu-
merous publications and private in
dividuals. One man, Will H. Dig
president of the IZaak Walton League
has written a story about the Win
nishiek Improvement. He calls ii
The Drainage Crime of America"
The battle is one between senti-
ment and utilitarianism. From all
appearances sentiment will lose un-
less some means are taken to make
the bottom q national or state wild
life preserve.
From a personal standpoint we side
with sentiment Why must every
thing in this world be considered from
a dollar standpoint? Why does man
decree that no other form of natural
life shall live but his own? Does the
world need nothing but ploWland
corn, hogs and money? Have nature
and the primitive no place with us?
If so, we are indeed lost.
Coolidge has a cold look and his
name suggests low temperature.
Wonder, also, if they have burglar
alarms to attach to slippery bankers
Miners declare there will be no soft
coal strike this year The one last
year was by no means soft"
HELP! HELP! Give Carte twenty
years for painting his lumber sheds a
dull orange. No less for a crime like
that
Fifty miles west, as the crow flies,
they are sinking oil wells. Some peO-
pie live and learn and others just live.

Someone wants to know how much
the bank depositors will receive. Oul
guess is: Almost Nothing" The
bank had 100000 and it is gone. II
it had had million dollars that
would probably be gone also.
A lot of bosh is being written about
Coolidge carrying out the Harding
policies. Coolidge will do like all
capable vice presidents who have sue
ceeded to the presidency have done
they will carry out their predeces-
sor's policies wherein they agree with
policies of their own. Beyond that
watch Coolidge.

 Superior

The Birmingham Artifical Limb com pany BIO Seventeenth street, north, has completed orders for SO artificial limbs for the state and federal re- Mobilization service in Louisiana and Mississippi. In each instance the former soldiers have pronounced the limbs O. k. and the bills have been ordered paid. This firm does lot of this work for the state of Alabama and it's artificial limbs are seen in just as satisfactorily for just leg just as satisfactorily for a nonresident as for a resident, the measurements taken at the home of the afflicted man being the guide for the mechanics. Whether that home be in Birmingham or Texas the result is the same. This company does not part with it's customers after making and selling an artificial leg or arm. The customer Is welcomed to come to the shop from time to time for little courtesies and adjustments that may add to comfort without charge. The artificial limb made by this firm is all over Birmingham and in many instances personal friends and busi- ness associates do not know the man has an artificial limb until he tells them so unless they had heard of the accident or other occurrence lead- ing to the necessity for an artificial limb. The firm is twenty years old and is now headed by G. w. Durrett, president. The Birmingham artificial limb admits of no superior in the country for lightness in weight and comfort
