 SHAHESPEARE ANDWHITMAN
 Whitfuan, as q poet, stands at the an- tipodes to such as Shakespeare. The Elizabeth poet gave -us a great host of individuals. undominated by a single personality. He subordinated or subli- mated his personal aims to the aims of his characters; there is no single char acter we can identify with Shakespeare himself, unless indeed, it is Hamlet or Prospero-both skeptics, both in sense of men of the world who are acted upon rather than act for themselves. Whit man, on the other hand wished the vast spectacle of life which he, too, aimed to present, to be entirely subordinated to himself. He regards the poet as man with mission beyond that of irritating or amusing others; his mis- sion was to save democracy by exalting personality Gould Fletcher, in the North American Review.

Darlington Woman Killed
By Speeding Automobile

DARLINGTON-Mr Joseph Hunt
ington, wife of Darlington merchant,
was killed almost instantly when a
car on highway No. %, between
Platteville and Belmont struck her
Thursday night about o'clock.
Mrs. Huntington was driving with
her husband, and when engine trou-
BILE forced them to stop, she alighted.
AS she stepped from the car, the
other automobile, driven eastward at
high speed, struck her. The driver
did not stop. Her husband was I'M
able to get the number.
She was taken to Belmont imme-
diately, but died before the town was
reached. Mrs. Huntington was 46
years old.
Two speeding cars followed the
death car, according to Mr.. Hunt
ington and his 12-year-old son who
accompanied them. They tried to
stop these cars without success.
Authorities have found no trace of
the identity of the death cars driver.
Sheriff Joe Edge of Grant county and
Sheriff C. L. Simmons of Lafayette
county combined forces Friday in an
effort to find the three cars. The
actions of all three drivers are re-
garded as suspicious by the authori-
ties. 1t is believed that they may be
booze runners, or auto thieves.

What Will Radio be in
FOUr Years From Now?

Four years ago election night there
wasn't real radio set in Lancaster.
One or two boys had crystal sets.
That night several young men, two
of them ex-navy radio operators, sat
up for hours trying to get election
returns over wireless Morse code.
They didn't get whisper.
Last Tuesday night election returns
from all points were received on hun
dreds of radio sets in Grant county.
Reception was perfect. The air was
alive with stations broadcasting. So
much for the development in four
short years.
Radio has lost a good deal of nov
elty but it increases in utility. Dis
lance is reduced to nothing. One
feels it no more out of the ordinary
to tune in on Springfield, Mass, or
Dallas, Texas, than he would to tel
ephone to Platteville.
What will develop in the next four
wears? At the rate radio has deVel-
oped we must not be surprised to see
radio pictures along with the sound
waves. Synchronous sound and sight
actual scenes of far-off points, &C
tors moving across a stage and speak
ing their lines-all these things are
coming.
Radio is one of the agencies in the
trend towards democracy. The key
note of it is that all may share in the
best the world has to give.

COUNTY DADS
TAKE ACTION
ON HUBER LAW,
Eastman Elected Chairman,
Road System Discussed.
Dance Ordinance.

The county board got under way
Monday, electing L. D. Eastman chair
man without opposition. A move to
put Mr.. Brainerd of Boscobel up for
the office, died aborning.
Committees were appointed yester-
day and the board adjourned on &C
count of the Armistice celebration, to
meet last night at 1880.
The Huber parole law will come up
for discussion. 1t is probable that a
resolution will be passed asking the
representatives to either repeal or
modify the law to make more rigid
enforcement possible.
A county rock pile for liquor law
violators or an arrangement with the
Milwaukee House of Correction to
board our prisoners will be proposed.
Many of the board members are in
dignant over the farcical Huber pa
role law which allows convicted
man to go practically scot free.
The proposed 83.5 mile addition to
the hard roads of the county, filling
in gaps in the present hard road sys-
tenn and giving us a connected if
small system of hard roads, will be a
matter of Importance.
The dance hall ordinance, defeated
last year by a close vote, will come
up again in a modified form.

Casualty at Cassyille;
Heralds Go Under Train

Uncle John Foley of Cassville bore
the sad tidings via phone to the Her
aid office Wednesday evening that
the Heralds destined for that vicinity
were decorating the tracks between
Cassville and Glen Haven. The NOR
tally was frightful, according to
Uncle John. Out Of nearly 300 Her
aids not single good copy remained
And along with our papers, the Chi
cago dailies were similarly macerat-
ed. 1t was complete cleanup.
It seems that the mail man on the
train made a poor throw, his arm
being out of condition. Instead OF
lighting gracefully on the station
platform, the sack went under the
wheels of the passenger. Goodnight!
The office sent down what papers
we had but nowhere near enough to
supply the demand. We feel pretty
bad about this but casualties like
train accidents and so on are beyond
our control. We have no such re-
serve as 800 copies.

In a hard fought, intensely inter-

Lancaster on Lancaster field Friday

The game was won in the first four
minutes of play when Lancaster FUN

Mineral Point and lost possession of
the ball

Mineral Point at once opened up
with line smashing, end running Of

downs in rapid succession and put the
ball behind Lancaster's goal line for
the first touchdown before the home
boys had time to fathom the play and
learn to stop it.
Lancaster 0ut-cIassed But Rallies
Lancaster seemed to be entirely out
classed during this short period but
the boys rallied and STAYED off fur
Their scoring during the first quarter
and in the second had the better of
the argument. Late in the second
quarter Lancaster was held for down
on her 40-yard line and Clementson
punted out of bounds on the M. P.s'
one yard line. M. p. attempted to
kick from behind the goal line but
the ball hit one of their own men ana

fullback fell on it for safety giving
Lancaster two points. The half end

Lancaster VainIy Carries the Fight
After the intern1ission Lancaster
came back with renewed spirit and
had all the better of the play but
could not score. Several times they

like scoring distance only to lose it
by tumble or having forward pass
intercepted and see all their efforts
of no avail.
Golden Opportunity Lost at End
Three minutes before the game
ended Ian 3aster lost a golden oppor
tunity to win the game by poor head
work. Clementson had just taken a
long forward pass from near the CEN
ter of the field and raced to the 49,
yard line-a clear gain of 80 yards.
1t was first down with three minutes
to go and the goal line only Is yards
away. M. p backs were spread all
over the back field watching for a
pass. The situation was ideal for a
faxed pass and line drive but they
got the pass for which they were all
set and broke it up. They got an
other which they intercepted and
-Lancaster's last chance to score was
gone. In the few minutes left M. P.

ball without gaining yard and then

FARM BUREAU NOTES

From the QUESTIONABLE on highway
building sent to something over 5000
Grant county farmers the replies we
have received seem to indicate that
gravel roads are desired for the state
and county highways. There are very
few that indicate their desire for a
concrete road system. There are
many who think that the patrolman
could be better employed during the
middle part of the season, and it is
suggested by many that patrolmen
should give some attention to side
roads off from their section. Many
suggest that crushed stone or gravel
could be hauled and so lengthen the
hard roads at no extra cost.
While there are many that think
we have been developing the road
system too rapidly, the general feel
ing seems to be not so much to slow
down on our road program, as to
work toward more economy of build
ing. Many express the opinion that
there is rather more supervision in
regard to the building fthesie roads
than is necessary. There was also
considerable expression of opinion IN
favor of more home material such as
creek gravel and crushed rock for
use on roads and in making culverts
or bridges.
County Area Test for L. b.
In regard to the county area test
nearly 5000 of the petitions that have
been returned have been signed in
favor of this test being made in
Grant county.
There are, however, many who have
not returned either the road ques-
tionaire or the county area test petit
ton. We would like to have replies
made to these letters either for one
side or the other so that we may get
the true attitude of Grant county to-
ward these matters

Long Drought and Careless
Hunters Blamed.-Fire
Along Wisconsin.

as much work. Near Boscobel the
same conditions prevail, and wide
stretches of bottomland have been

Rains early this week have put an
end to period of anxiety for farmers
in wooded tracts by giving vegetation
a generous soaking. Careless hunters
are held responsible for several fires.

Negro Judge Named

Albert B. George, 81, Chicago law
yer. has been elected municipal judge,
fhe first of his race to hold the office
in Chicago. George is negro.
We think Mr.. George has a great
opportunity. He can carry out his
promise to be just to all. lie can
make white people realize that given
a chance the vast majority of colored
neople are earnest in their deslrt TO
be good citizens.
One great trouble with the colored
man has been his lack of respect 1or
his own skin and lack of love for MS
own people. He should have both.
MANY colored men have wasted their
time worrying about their condition.
We do not blame them for this. They
have had a hard row to hoe and TOO
little time has elapsed between slav-
orv and the present for them to ruby
understand their problems. For one
thing the negro has been forced into
mental positions on account OF ms
color. kept in darkness and dlscrim-
mated against and then blamed De-
cause he fails to measure up. ana
not all, of course, are smart men ike

On social equality. Rather he should
develop his own standards and MS
own culture. He may meet and sur
mass the white man. And II he does
60 bv honest effort he should be ac-
corded full credit.
