The Greatest Drama Of the ACES

In ancient times the Latins had a
proverb; "Ad astra per aspera' up
to the stars through rugged ways"
It has come down to us through the
ages and is preserved as the motto of
Kansas.
From Socrates to Edison, every for
ward step taken by mankind through
revolving centuries every advance by
humanity towards the ultimate goal
has been led by some valiant dreamer
who followed a star.
.fase~ now there are thousands of
young men and women going forth
from college and from school-going
to Somewhere.
Maybe you think you are not ready
to go just yet.
But my dear fellow you are going
right along going somewhere to the
bad may be, but somewhere, sure.
Possibly you are waiting for the
through express to fame or fortune, or
to both, or you may be waiting to be
personally conducted on this enforced
tour. In that case you will hardly
know what your route will be, nor
will you have a very clear conception
as to what you will see or hear, or
how you will occupy yourself while
on the journey.
Don't imagine that you can stop for
a year, or a day or a moment for time
waits for no one and it is time itself
that is carrying you forward to the
end of the road.
There is a coach and four for you
if you are worthy OF it AS a rule
every man finds his level the place
to which he is assigned or consigned
if you please, by the weight Of his in
tellect and the extent Of its develop
ment. He may think he is not in the
place where he belongs, but if he re-
mains in that place you may quite
safely conclude that he is in his niche
If he were not he would not remain
there, for no man is compelled to re-
main in any niche against his will and
determination.
The man who would crown his life
with success must strive earnestly.
Each day must be the epitome of
life of effort and each hour and NOM
ent the epitome Of the day. He can
build for the future only with to-days
materials. He cannot use it when it
has become yesterdays for then it
will have departed from him. He
must "act in the living present.

PRICE $500 A YEAR
Motor Traffic Will Pay
More Of Highway Cost
INDICATED BOTH GAS AND L.
CENSE FEE WILL GO THRU
THE SENATE

A 2-cent gasoline tax effective on
July first and a license fee for-next
year on automobiles of from$10 to $26
is going through the upper house of
the Wisconsin legislature. The indica-
lions are that this is the highway pro-
gram which will be adopted by the
legislature.
The gasoline tax bill, separate
measure, was sent to third reading in
the senate Tuesday afternoon with
little opposition. This measure would
raise approximately $3,OOO,OOO. The Ii
cense fee bill would raise approximate
ely $6,O0O,OOO The total of $9,0OO,OOO
would be turned in to an independent
fund for highway purposes.
The $9,000,000 fund would then be
apportioned between the state and
the county. The state will retain rs
per cent of the funds for the purposes
of roads and bridges, the meeting of
federal aid and state aid and highway
construction. The state aid mileage
was increased from $500 to 10000
miles.
The 25 per cent of the fund which
goes to the county must be used for
road and bridge purposes. That part
of the highway bill requiring the valu
alton of automobiles and the collec-
ton of valuation tax has been aband
oned as part of the program. 1t was
proposed that this valuation tax
should be returned to the locality.
With the abandonment of this propo-
sal the localities will now receive only
25 per cent of the funds collected
from auto licenses and gas tax. This
money will be returned to the county
in proportion to the number of auto
mobiles licenses in each county.

A crowd of friends surprised Mr..

evening by walking in unexpectedly.
After recovering from the surprise
the host cleared the furniture from
couple rooms and the guests spent
very pleasant evening dancing. A
three piece orchestra had been pro-
vided for that purpose. A fire lunch
was served, which had beea provided
by the ladies. In all the affair was a
very pleasant one-and a co nplete sur
prise to Mr.. and Mrs. Dotson.
Several lady friends OF Mrs. VIM.
Blakely met at the home of Mrs.

tives of that great Scandinavian race.
It would be invidious to make any com
parsons between the Swede and any
other immigrant, but the facts speak
for themselves and other races can
not complain if the finding is some=
what against them.
For instance it is shown that SIG
per cent of all Swedish immigrants
are virtually 100 per cent Americans
within ten years after their arrival
here. They are able to read and speak
English and are naturalized citizens
of the republic The average for all
immigrants in this respect is only $50
per cent, and this would of course, be
very materially reduced if the Swedes
were eliminated from the calculation.
About seventy-fiNe out of every 100
of all immigrants are able to read
and speak English within ten years
after their arrival as compared with
87.6 per cent of the Swedes.
A majority of Swedes who have
made their homes in this country are
either technical men highly skilled en-
gineers often occupying high positions
in Americas greatest industrial in
situations trained workers in technical
trades or farmers. Swedes do not con
gregate in American cities They go
to the farms and become producers
and contributors to Americas resourc-
es. They are found most numerous in
the spring wheat growing sections.
About one-fifth of all the Swedish male
immigrants the first generation-be
come farmers.
Reports show that an important
change is taking place in the occupa-
tions of Swedish women in this coun-
try. About two-thirds of all Swedish
immigrants were classed as servants
housekeepers, maids and mattresses,
but their daughters become brain
workers. The survey proves, what has
long been recognized, that the Swedes
make citizens of the highest type and
are a contribution of the greatest val
ue to the nation. Thrifty, Industrious,
intensely loyal and patriotic, ambiti-
Gus and thoroughly dependable, the
Swede is welcome from every stand
point of racial value and vastly more

Today, June Fourteen
Is National Flag Day
HENRY WARD BEEcHER'S TRI-
Butte TO THE AMERICAN
FLAG WILL LIVE FOREVER
BY Henry Ward Beecher


A thoughtful mind, when it sees a
nations flag, sees not the flag only,
but the nation itself; and whatever
may be it's symbols, it's insignia, he
reads chiefly in the flag the govern
.ment.y e principles, the truths, the
history, wn1cn belong to the nation.
When the French tricolor rolls out
to the wind, we see France. When the
new found Italian flag is infurled, we
see resurrected Italy. When the unit
ed crosses of st. Andrew and st.
george, on 1 5ry gyound, set forth
the banner of old England, we see not
the cloth merely; there rises up be-
fore the mind the noble aspect of the
monarchy which, more than any other
on the globe, has advanced its ban
ner for liberty, law, and national pros
perity.
This nation has a banner, too; and
wherever it has streamed abroad, men
have seen daybreak bursting on their
the symbol of liberty, and men have
rejoiced in it. Not another flag on the
globe has such an errand or went forth
upon the sea, carrying everywhere, the
world around such hope for the captive
and such glorious tidings. The stars
upon it were to the pining nations like
the morning stars of God and the
stripes upon it were beams of morn
ing light.
forth even while it grows light and
then, as the sun advances, that light
breaks into banks of streaming lines
of color, the glowing red and intense
white, striving together and ribbing
the horizon with bars effulgent, SO,
on the American flag, stars and beams
of many colored light shine out togeth-
err And wherever the flag comes, and
men behold it, they see in it's sacred
emblazonry no rampant lion and no
fierce eagle; they see the symbols of
light. 1t is the banner of dawn; it
means liberty.
Consider the men who devised and
set forth this banner; they were men
who had taken their lives in their
hands, and consecrated all their world
ly possessions-for what? For the
doctrine, and for the personal TACT, of
liberty-for the right of all men to
liberty
If any one, then asks me the mean
ing of our flag, say to hint means
just what Concord and Lexington
meant; what Bunker Hill meant;
which was, in short the rising up Of
valiant young people against an old
tyranny to establish the most momen-
tous doctrine that the world has ever
known--the right of men to their onu
selves and to their liberties
The history of this banner is all
on the side of liberty. Under it rode
Washington and his armies; before it
Burgoyne laid down his arms. 1t
waved on the highlands at West Point
it floated over old Fort Montgomery.
When Arnold would have surrender
ed those valuable fortresses and pre-
cious legacies, his night was turned
into day, and his treachery was driven
away, by beams of light from this
starry banner.
1t cheered our army. driven from
New York and in their solitary pill
grimage through New Jersey 1t

be said, has latterly been much more
ment than a help. Why? Because the
creative brains of the nation have not
gravitated to politics. And the result
is that outside the boundaries OF Off
cial life we have the real public serv-
ice of the land.
This great nation is not dependent
hopes on a man, that day we detract
from our dignity as nation. Perhaps
in the past we have been too busy in
worshiping regulations. It will do us
good to look back ten or fifteen years
and ask where the great names of
that period are now The men are here
but as their regulations were newspap
er made and newspaper sustained,
they fell as soon as newspaper puff
fling was withdrawn. They had never
done anything before and they haven't
done anything since; they were men
of the hour" SO the promises said, but
the hour is long since past.
Now, as matter of fact, the ma
tional instinct has taught us that the
nation does not depend on men. 1t is
commonly granted that political cam
paigns are wholesale promising con-
tests which are never to be taken ser
| iously The wholesale slump in the
number of votes cast in our national
elections is an Indication Of the fact
that the people no longer take them
seriously. But the time is coming
when they shall, and the speed with
which that time arrives depends on
that very uncertain quantity, the pat
fence Of the people.
The people of this land are suffi-
cient for their leadership. If the ma
ton should ever take over the rail
roads, it is foregone conclusion that
the government as at present consti-
tuted could never run the railroads.
The record of governments in bust
ness is not good, and if they depended
/
the railroads and among the people
not draw on the almost exhaustless
resources of the people, they would
long ago have been bankrupt. But on
the railroads and among the people
are the men. who could run the rail
roads. The men are here.
That is the fact upon which the
mind of the people may rest in utmost
assurance the men are here. They
are here in sufficient number to carry
on all the public processes. They are
here in sufficient wisdom, honesty
and courage to meet all the problems
which an effete government faces help
lessly.
But the men who are able to do
what the country wants done will not
play the old political game for the
chance of doing it. They have too
much wisdom to hope that anything
can be accomplished by the old meth
DDS. They do not crave any honor
which is bought at the price of wilful
inefficiency in office And while they
will fight for the welfare of their coun
try they will not fight for the tinsel
of a public title. But when tire hour
arrives for free untrammelled public
service these men will move quite
naturally to their places in the public
service. The great thing to Know is
The men are Dearborn lndepen-
dent.

new day of hope dawned on the de-
spondency of this nation. And when
the long years of war were drawing to
a close, underneath the folds of this
immortal banner sat Washington,
while Yorktown surrendered its hosts
and our Revolutionary struggles end
ed with victory.
How glorious, then, has been it's orr
gin! How glorious has been it's his
tory! How divine it's meaning! In all
the world is there another banner that
carries such hope, such grandeur of
spirit, such soul-inspiring truth, as
our dear old American flag? Made by
liberty, made for liberty, nourished in
it's spirit, carried in it's service, and
never, not once, in all the earth made
to stoop to despotism!
Accept it then, in its fullness of
meaning. It is not painted rag. 1t
is whole national history. It is the
Constitution. 1t is the government. It
is the free people that stand in the
government, on the Constitution.
Forget not what it means; and, for
the sake of its meaning, be true to
your country's flag.
Let us, then, Irvine each thread of
glorious tissues of our country's flag
about our heartstrings; and looking
upon our homes and catching the spir
it that breathes upon us from the bat
tlefields of our fathers let us resolve
come veal or woe, we will, in life
and in death, now and forever, stand
by the Stars and Stripes. They have
been unfurled from the SHOWS of Can
ada to the plains of New Orleans, in
the halls of the Montezumas, and
amidst the solitude of every sea; and
everywhere, as the luminous symbol
of resistless and beneficient power,
they have led the brave to victory and
to glory. They have floated over our
cradles; let it be our prayer and our
struggle that they shall float over our
graves.

a CHILLY JOB

The North Pole is to be filmed. A
simple statement of that character
made twenty years ago might have
put the author in an insane asylum.
Amundsen in private letter to
friend in Christiania, states that he
is taking the necessary apparatus with
him. If he succeeds the North Pole
will undoubtedly lose its interest for
the great mass of people, because its

CALCIUM CHLORIDE FOR STREETS

Rhinelander streets are to be treat
ed with calcium chloride as dust eli
minator this summer, according to ac-
ton Of the city council at the regular
June meeting Tuesday night. This
will do away with the present method
of sprink1ing the streets with water,
which has been followed here ever
since the city was established. The
cost of the treatment will not be de
frayed out of the general fund, but
will be borne by owners of property
along the streets. 1t will be neces-
sary for property owners to petition
the city for the service. The cost is
small, being only $1.65 for each go
foot lot for the season. A large con-
signment of calcium chloride has been
ordered for use here-New North.

Hats off!
Along the STR. there comes
A blare of bugles, ruffle of drums
A flash of color beneath the sky:
Hats off!
The flag is passing by
Blue and crimson and white it shines,
over the stee1-tipr -rdered lines,
Hats off!
The colors before US fly;
But more than the flag is passing by
sea-fights and land-fights, grim and
great,
Fought to make and to save the State
Weary marches and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and years of peace;
March of strong lands swift increase
Equal justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverend awe;
Sign of nation, great and strong
To ward her people from foreign
wrong:
Pride and glory and honor all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums;
And loyal hearts are beating high;
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!
