A Dangerous Example.

Ii Hung Chang, noted as a wit and
a sage, once Chinese minister to this
country, used to draw numerous COM
parsons between his own land and
ours. In China, he related, the family
is ALL The head of the clan has pow
er of life and death over his follow
ing and if one has a grudge against
a member of a certain family or has
been wronged he must make settle
ment with the patriarch. If he falls
to get what he thinks is justice he
takes vengeance on any member of
the clan thus satisfying his own hon
or. This understood, explains the tong
wars now in process here.
Minister Ii told how in China a
father with a worthless son had the
right. legal and moral, to dispose of
the youth when he found nothing
could be done for him or with him. Ii
the old man wished to take his son
down to the river and quietly drown
him that was his privilege and all
right with the public.
"But that" the sage with twinkllng
eyes observed, would never do in
America The drain on the population
would be too severe"

Reading Bob Out
of the Party.

The process Of reading La Toilette
out of the Republican party is going
on at Washington now, stand-pat SEN
ators being in charge of the obse-
quies Along with Bob goes Senators
Laid, Brookhart and Frazier, all, as
we understand it, recently reelected
as Republicans.
The Old Guard should go a little
slow about this. The people elected
these men as Republicans and every
body nowadays has his own opinion
as to what constitutes partyism any
how. Public opinion has a dangerous
way of turning and sympathizing with
the under dog. The Old Guard won
with the peoples help-why not be
generous?

Who Stepped on
TrntzSkY'S Corn?

Just as the American people were
getting around to recognizing Russia
and establishing the entente cord1ale
with the Soviet republic War Minis
ter Trotzsky spills the beans with an
impassioned address against the
United States He bitterly arraigns
American militarism and capitalism in
spite of the fact that the best edu-
Gated and freest people on the globe
have willed the system he complains
about. If it suits us why should
Trotzsky worry? Certainly we don't
want his system Of government.
When 1rotzsky says our "militar1s-
tic policy is directed toward foment-
ing trouble abroad" he goes too far
He either lies or is deliberately MAX
ing mischief and hard feelings among
his own people.
The American people feel sympa-
thetic toward the Russian people as
a whole and want to see them do bet
ter and prosper. For that reason the
people as a whole would be in favor
of recognizing Russia if that country
will act neighborly. Speeches like that
of Trotzsky make it all the harder to
be friendly.

A Municipal Skating Rink.

Noting that other towns are pro-
viding ice skating Kinks for young
folks the Herald would like to ask
what's the matter with Lancaster?
Boscobel has rink, Muscoda has a
rink, Richland Center has rink
Platteville has a rink, etc. All are
municipal affairs. Many of them are
artificial and expensive.
We believe that Fred would do what
is right about a lease for the ice
ponds if approached in the right way
A couple of electric lights could be
"mooched" from the light company
and they also would do what is right
A few boards knocked together for
seats would be about all else needed
This is properly municipal matter
but could be handled by the Kiwanis
club. How about it boys?

The American Indian had full
sway in this country for good many
hundred years before the White
brother arrived. How long he was
here no one knows. Probably success
sive waves of Oriental immigration
came in. developed a certain sort of
culture and went into decadence, A
good guess is that the last body of
Red men migrated by water across
the Aleutian chain and trickled down
the Pacific coast in less than the last
fifteen centuries. Prof. Ossiandowsky,
the author of Man in Asia" recounts
customs, religious obseryances, ETC.,
among the tribes of northern Asia al
most Identical with that of the Sioux.
They must be blood brothers.
The point, however, is that as Iong
as he ran things the Indian was as
tute enough to preserve the natural
resources. He recognized that both
woodland and prairie land were ne
cessary to preserve shelter and pro-
vide food for wild animals upon which
he subsidized. In a very general way
the Indian harmed nothing natural
He took what ne needed but no more
He lived and he let live.
The record of the White has been
one of destruction. He plowed the
prairies but has failed to preserve the
top soil and countless tons of rich
dirt are swept into the rivers each
wear. He dug the earth to pieces for
minerals and even tore the mountain
sides down in a wretched search fol
gold. He literally slaughtered three
fourths of the standing timber in the
country, not to provide shelter, not
for uses of industry, but to make
money. The result is a nearly Quilted

c. o. P. CABINET GETS FEARFUL
 OVER RADIO

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The White House tuned in today on the democratic convention today at New York. At the conclusion of the cabinet meeting, a radio set in the cabinet room was tuned in for an interested group of listeners.
 President Coolidge has become a devotee of the radio and friends con slider it likely that he will take a wireless seat himself at the con- vention during some of its sessions.

,. Lauds Wilson
 Would that we had in the White House the spirit of him whose heart of gold melted in the sympathies of the WorId--of all humanity whose cour- age knew and gave no quarter, whose qualities of statesnanships caused him to catch the first whisperings of do- nestle disorder and visualize and pre- scribe for world unrest. 1t is the spirit of him who twice led us to victory and whose soul has taken it's flight but whose remains now lie in yOn crypt at St. Albans, the late Commander in Chief of the worlds greatest fighting forces in it's greatest crisis, that will tn- spire harmony in this convention and assure victory in November.
 How different were the foreign poli- cies of our government under Woodrow Wilson and under the Harding Coolidge administrations. It is the difference between a keynote and keyhole policy of statesmanship. In the good old dem ocratic days we did not send spies to peep in, but diplomats to sit in; not observers without authority, but repre- sentatives with credentials. One policy was definite, wise, and brave; the oth- CT vacillating, halting and weak. We opened up new and broader markets, and the people of every cline were drawn closer to IS. No humanitarian cause, no movement to check wars, settle disputes, or promote world peace but promptly received the sympathetic con sideration of this government. It was through such policy that America forged to the front among the foremost nations of the world. Glory was in the flag and prosperity in every indus try. What a change has come about during these three long years!

Richard said the only tickets left
after the fight had been. staged were
those of $40 and SIS denominations,
which, he said. were always the hard
est to sell.
O'Rourke, who was connected with
the Polo Grounds Club at the time
charged before legislative committee
Tuesday that Richard turneds back

have been sold at the box. office.
Richard said today that the boxing
commission had gone over and had
approved his accounting for the tick
cts and that he had nothing to fear.
While it had been limited around for
several days that O'Rourke was ready
to spill a big scandal 1t was a big
surprise when he took a shot at Rick
ard, as it was understood he had his
gun aimed at a former member Of the
commission.
While it was agreed that the charge
against Rickard might be a severe
blow to the ring sport and could be
used as ammunition for those who are
crusading against the game in Albany,
it was suggested here today that it
bordered too much on what has been
accepted so far as a personal fight
against Richard.

BUTLER DISPLAYS
IMPROVED FORM
AGAINST WABASH
Pagemen in Easy Victory
Local CoIIegians Play Rich,
mond Legion Tonight,

1t was a much improved Butler
basketball team which defeated
Wabash College Tuesday night at
Tonlinson Hall. 50 to II. Nipper
Griggs and Hooker took turns at find
ing the net with the flrst-named
player high point man with four from
the field and four free throws.
The locals defense combined with
Wabashs own inaccurate shooting
and rather clumsy attempts to work
the ball down the floor accounted for
the fact that the visitors made only
three field goals during the fray.
1t has been a long time since Wa
bash has shown so poorly on the hard
wood. Burdette was just about the
whole show for the Little Giants. He
got around like a real METER, but
could not find the basket on mis- shots.
Butler started in the lead after a
slow ten minutes and the first half
ended II to 6, in the Irvington
teams favor. The Butler team worked
together in better shape as the game
progressed.
Butler goes to Richmond tonight to
meet the Legion team of that place
and Saturday night plays the Haskell
Indians at Tomlinson Hall.
