Mrs. Richard Rowley, of Baraboo,
writes an interesting letter from
Trentham, England, to her sister,
Mrs. B. n. Webster of Rice Lake.
In company with DR.. Rowley, the
writer left Baraboo several weeks
ago for a summers stay abroad.
She says:
We cannot come home before
Sept. %, there are so many over
here to return to the States and
Canada. We are booked on the
Coronia (the sister ship to the
Carmania), sailing from Liverpool
to Quebec.
We had a nice week in the Isle
of Man Mons Isle, as it is called,
too). We took trip around the
entire island in a charabanc hold
ing eighteen persons. 1t was a
beautiful ride through varied
scenery. We saw where Sir Hall
Game lives at Greeba Castle near
to Glen Helen, between Douglas
and Peel We intended to go
over to Ireland but the Irish sea
was rough all the week and didn't
look tempting for the voyage. The
day we came back to Liverpool
from Douglas it was dreadfully
rough, in fact we never experienced
anything like it, heavy swell on
the sea, white caps, and a bitter
wind. We felt like saying when
we set foot on the Liverpool quay,
THANK God, we've light. We
heard an old lady say this when
she was helped out of an auto
after a wild ride with careless
driver.
We stayed in Chester for a
couple of days and will go back
later when we go to North Wales,
Chester is a charming place-full

Back From Trip
To Yellowstone

Roy Isenberg and Guy Thompson
returned on Thursday from an auto
trip to Yellowstone park. They
were gone nearly two weeks, max
ing the trip by way of Minnesota,
North Dakota, and Wyoming. The
return was made by way Of South
Dakota, where Francis McGinnis
of Baraboo, who accompanied Isen-
berg and Thompson, remained to
work in the harvest field.
The boys returned well sunburn-
ed. They report that the alkali
dust and water bothered them as
they went through North Dakota
and the Bad Lands. The young
men struck cloud burst at Fergus
Falls, Mimi, and encountered I'M
usually slippery roads in the Da-
kotas and Montana, after each rain.
The tourists helped one another in
their difficulties, particularly over
the mountains.
Mr.. Isenberg reports the wheat
crop good in the eastern part of
the Dakotas but that in the ives
tern part damaged by rust. The
farmers did not plant so much
wheat on account of the low price
of last year but put in more corn,
rye and other grains.
He talked with various farmers
on the non-partisan situation which
did prevail in North Dakota and
some thought that the state would
again return to the non-partisan
form.

PROGRESSIVE
RALLY HELD
At REEDSpURG

The La Toilette Progressive raj
ly at the Reedsburg Armory We'd
nesday afternoon drew an attend
ance not only from that locality,
but from Baraboo and surrounding
country and from the more dis
tant parts of the county. Otto Rig
CERT 'of RSadsburg, president of
the La Toilette Progressive club of
Sank county, presided and intro
duced NJ. B. Olbrich of Madison,
who gave a strong, thoughtful adj
dress which evidently made a deep
impression on the audience. The
address was in no sense the usual
campaign speech with flattery to
the hearers, q lauding of favored
candidates and abuse of opposing
parties, but a serious, thorough dis,
cussion of a few of the main prin-
cipFes underlying the platform on
which La Toilette and Wheeler
stand before the nation, the fun
damental idea being to bring our
government nearer to the people,
or, in other words, more democracy
and less domination of wealth. Con-
stitutional amendments adjusting
the state and federal constitutions
to present day needs were favored.
Among these Mr.. Olbrich laid
great stress on a forestry amend
ment which would call halt to
the destruction Of forests of state
and nation. which is rapidly be-
coming a serious national danger
Others vera for the direct election
of president of the United States,
and an amendment making Con-
gressional statute effective over a
judicial veto. The La Toilette plan
is that a law passed by congress
and declared unconstitutional by
the United States supreme court
shall go back to congress, and ii
passed there a second time shall
become valid law and shall
automatically amend the United
States constitution in so far as it
conflicts with it. By advocating
this method of amending the con-
stitution, the opponents of La Fol
lette declare, he is assaulting the
constitution and thereby threat
ening to revolutionize our govern
ment. Yet the proposed method
of amendment, Mr.. Olbrich con-
tended, is more logical than the
present one, under which the
amendment, after first passing
congress, is voted upon by the
state legislature, whose members
are not elected with a view to
dealing with national questions,
while under the proposed method
it would have to go before a second
congress. A strong plea was made
for the drafting of property as
we'll as men in time of war, and for
really fair and adequate compensa-
ton for men who risk their lives
and their ali for their country.
Chairman Otto Riggert called
attention to the duty Of every vo-
ter to go to the polls at the prim-
airy next Tuesday.

New York Man
Denotes Life
ToAid Dogs

Having devoted most of his life
to the betterment of dogs Of all
breeds, DR.. j. E. DeMund of New
York, president of the American
Kennel club, the most extensive
and influential organization in the
history of the dog game, has thrown
his weight behind the work of the
American Distemper committee,
which is heading the drive in this
country to abolish the dred malady
of distemper, which annually kills
more CANNES than all other dis
eases combined.
Is Noted Fancier
DR.. DeMund, who is perhaps the
most noted fancier and dog lover
in the country, has informed Char
les H. Tyler, secretary-treasurer of
the American Distemper committee
with Offices in the Ames building,
Botson, that the American Kennel
club will do all in it's power to ad-
vance the work of the drive.
In recent number of the Ameri-
can Kennel Gazette, DR.. DeMund,
in a special message to dog owners,
urged that every member of the
thousands who are enrolled in the
organization do his share in help
ing to advance the work of the
drive. "Do your part to help the
drive and then, in an unashamed
manner. go and look at your dog
and tell him what you've DONE" he
wrote.
