that conference had chance to be heard. They
were heard and they dictated every action TAX
en-. They were not told to get out and vote for
some one but they were told to get busy and
select for themselves the people they wanted
to vote for
No abuse was heaped upon the head OF any
one-there was no suggestion that all the peo-
pie not agreeing with the will of the convention
were crooks and taxdodgers. 1t was not even
intimated that the rest of the people of the
state were personally criminaly disposed.
The whole convention was an appeal for patrI-
otto service of the nation-for the better guard
ing of the public purse-for the installing of
business methods instead of political methods
and for the progress coupled with sane expendi-
ture of the public funds.
We would be glad to see the entire state of
Wisconsin, represented at just such a state con-
ference. We would be interested to note the
effect of such an organization among men who
believe in Republican principles because they
believe they are right. 1t would be much more
pleasing than dictation from men who adopt a
party name in order to be better able to carry
out their plans for disseminating that party.
Republicans of Wisconsin must resent their
being considered as pawns to be voted at will
by score of men who have no interests other
than their own political advancement.

A PREsERyER OF TRADITIONS.

People of Kenosha who believe that it is
worth while to keep alive the memories of the
past-to preserve the traditions of the pioneers
will feel that Kenosha and Wisconsin has
sustained heavy loss in the death of Francis
H. Lyman No man has contributed more to
the keeping alive the history of Kenosha coun-
ty. Mr.. Lyman had lot of things which en-
deared him to the public, but il Ben johnson
had his Boswell, the future Kenosha people will
know that Kenosha county had its Frank Ly-
man, and that much of the Kenosha county
history which has been preserved has been
handed down to posterity because he loved the
old things better than others did and because
he had the feeling that it was only fair to the
pioneer to have his name revered and the work
which he did remembered.
1t means something to gather up the fosils of
the past; to preserve the stone arrows of the
Indians who were here before US; to treasure
the memory of men of other days; to keep
bright the wonderful laurels won by the citi-
zen soldiers of county and state. Mr.. Ly-
man did all of these things and he did them
intelhgently.
He had an admiration and love for the men
who served under the flag which made all of
these men his kinsmen, and he gave~to every
one of them to the ideals which they had
fought for a support which lasted over per-
iod of more than fifty years. He knew the
peril and the comradeship of fighting for a
great cause and he continued through life to
appreciate that thing which was worth fighting
for and worth perpetuating.
Francis Lyman may not have been overly
rich in the sordid gold which many men seek
but he was rich in human friendships and these
friendships were not all one way friendships
He will be remembered in Kenosha as a man
who was thoughtful Of his country; thought
full Of his home towns traditions; thoughtful
of the men who made those traditions more
glorious; thoughtful of his friends and his
family. and always to show that thoughtful
ness in an intelligent and helpful manner.
1t is to be regretted that his nature always
shrinking from public praise-did not lead him
to make even more detailed records of the in
teresting history which he has collected. His
splendid collection of relics of the other days
will become an art of the countys most treas
ured holdings and century from now other
men who have built up greater Kenosha city
and county will revere him for his thoughtful
ness in preserving for them that earliest history
of their own state and county.

THE PROPOSED STATE CONFERENCE

If the wholesome political and patriotic feel
ing which pervaded the district conference of
the Republican party over at Elkhorn the other
day could be developed in every Wisconsin dis
trict, the Republican party would have a new
birth in this state. If the entire state could
unite in selecting delegates to national con-
vention in the same manner as the two were
named there Wisconsin Republicans would take
a new interest in their party which would make
it impossible for some four hundred thousand
Republican voters to be moved about as pawns
on chess board.
If Republicans of Wisconsin could just be in
duced to have their own minds work and to do
their own thinking rather than to have rec
Ords sent out from back room in Madison
for them to follow, it would be easy to wipe out
this disgrace of Wisconsin and put it where
it should be among the leading Republican
states of the union.
At the convention at Elkhorn there was no
sign of political chichanry. The delegates to

A fine target to keep our gunners in

costly target. In war, we'd take it as

less insane, especially as regards its
pocketbook. Sanity slowly returns sas

Your Health
THINKING HEALTH.

1t is we'll to think we'll and divine
to act we'll. All the thinking you may
be able to produce will fail to advance
you either mentally or physically If
your acts concerning the use or mis-
use of your bodily powers are not
shaped to carry out your ideal
thoughts.
A body that is not too fat or too
slim and is kept clean and healthy by
right living should, under the proper
environment, produce vigorous mind
that is full of clean, helpful thoughts.
These thoughts shape your life and
make or break it.
The attitude of thinking health is
necessary to body building and nor
nal development. A clean, active mind
will have deep regard for the pres
ervation and control Of the bodily
health and strength. Lies stream de-
ponds for its renewal in those who
come after us, on clean, healthy minds.
The sustaining qualities of the mind
are so interviewer with bodily ply
sique that the success or failure Of
your health condition is bound up in
their cooperation.
Don't cause let-down in your ply
steal efficiency by carelessness in your
mental makeup. The day you decide
to take it easy, or run along in a rut,
that day you have started a physical
decline.
If your health thinking is strong
and active, the stimulus will show re-
turns in healthy active bodies.
You can think yourself into many
situations Try it on health.

cigars and began selling them.

NICOTINE.

America taught the world to smoke
tobacco, says Herbert Dunhill, the pipe
maker. The history of tobacco is his
hobby, and he doubts the claim that
tobacco was smoked in China thousands
of years ago.
When the first white explorers came
to America, they found the Indians re-
garded smoking somewhat as a relig
ious ceremony, believed that tobacco
had medicinal powers, and frequently
had their witch doctors prescribe it
like the thirsty man under prohibi-
tion.
