DOdgeville School Boys
To Shoot Red Indians

DODGEVILLE- Somewhere in the
wilds of Minnesota or Iowa surround
ed by perils of all kinds common to
a thickly settled farming country are
George Martin, son of Mr. and Mrs.
George Martin, and Chester Larson,
son of Mrs. Marvin Lewis, who left
home Tuesday night to seek their for
tunes in a great world. The boys are
both IA years of age.
1t is assumed that the boys prefer
life in the great, open spaces of the
West where they breed real men and
kill redskins before breakfast, to the
effete cities, as they took shotguns
and rough clothing. 1t develops that
plans to make trip had been talked
about with schoolmates for some time.
The boys are well heeled as they
worked hard all summer and saved
their wages.
The redskins of the west want to
be on the lookout. Two Indian fight
ers are abroad.

acre forty years ago, worth from $50

are in the hands of the money power

money power and Wall street, with
Brains, Ability and Labor, combining
the capital of millions in number of
small investors, in the development OF
railroads, stock yards, telephone, tel
egraph, packing industry and other
means that have watered the stock IN
their land from $1.25 to $50 and 5000
an acre. The same money power de-
velopment has increased the value of
town and city property quite in pro-
portion"
The Herald man being native-born
Nebraskan knows how true Mr.. Rich
ards statements are. The writer
doesn't have to sit around with a
dropped chin when somebody talks of
"hard times" because we native Ne
braskans know from bitter experience
lust what ''hard times" really consist
of. And it makes us laugh at times to
hear people talk about the hard
times" of the present. Boys, wait I'M
til you don't see a dollar once week
and wonder where the next meal is
coming from until you know what
constitutes hard times"
Then we have seen a great, treeless
prairie area develop into one of the
richest commonwealth of the world.
Those who prospered and got along
there were the men and women who
were thrifty and Industrious and used
common sense in their ambitions.
These things make people get along
in the world and the lack of them
produce failure. Money power, Wall
street, ETC., have very little to do with

IN MEMORIAM
Obituary-William Grebe

William Grebe, son of William and
Louisa Grebe, was born in the town
ship of Liberty, Sept 20, 1866. There
he spent his childhood and later the
family moved to Lancaster, making
that their home thereafter.
Will, as he was comonly known by
his many friends, was never married,
but made his home mostly on farms
where he was employed. His trusty
service and pleasant, kindly ways
made him always a welcome member
of the family.
The last few weeks of his life were
spent at the home of his brother-in-
law, Chris Grebe, where constant care
of patient and untiring hands was CIV
en- for his comfort until Deaths Angel
gave him relief at an early hour on
Tuesday morning, Oct. IA, 1924, at
the age of SO years and "a days.
He leaves to mourn his departure
three brothers and two sisters, name
ly: Chris and Henry of Lancaster, Ed
ward of Minneapolis, Mrs. Mary Rich
ardson of Lancaster, and Mrs. Title
Brickler of Pasadena, Calf. Also four
nephews and one niece: Paul Rich
ardson of Fond du Lac, Eugene Har-
rington of Oshkosh, Leslie Grebe of
Beetown, Ernest Grebe of Patch Grove
and Mrs. Florence Alderman of
Neillsville. And no one more truly
mourns the loss of "Uncle Will" than
his little grand-niece, Retha Grebe.
The ones gone on before are his
parents, two brothers, George and
Jake, one sister, Mrs. Amelia Har-
rim gton of Madison and a nephew,
Clarence Grebe.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Crusius at the Evangelical
church with interment at Hillside.
Card of Thanks
The relatives take this opportunity
of thanking the neighbors and many
friends for their sympathy, many
acts of kindness and floral offerings.

TWO SETS OF TWIN BABIES

DODGEVILLE-Tw babies, two
sets and all boys, are the center of
interest at ST. Joseph's hospital here.
One set are Donald and Arnold Heb
gen, sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Aloysius
Hebgen of Highland The other twins
were born Sept. "a to Mr.. and Mrs.
Stephen Meuer of Dodgeville, chris
tened JOSEPH and John. Joseph
weighed three and a half pounds at
birth while John weighed four pounds.
Their hands are so tiny that the whole
OF one hand can be passed through
a woman's finger ring. There is no in
cubator at the hospital and one nurse
is kept busy warming pillows for little
Joe and John.

before Wilma died, to tell her how ill
she was and that she was soon to
leave this home for the heavenly. And
straightway, without fear, but with
delightful and solacing calm she
reached with one arm, her mother, and
with the other, her father, and drew
them to her in sweet and tender love
to kiss them and bid them goodbye.
1t was a quiet scene but full of quiv-
ering pathos and trembling joy. About
an hour or so afterward she began to
pray to her Master and Lord: Dear
Jesus, take me, take me-" repeating
her prayer several times. Then soon
she went to be with Him.
"She thot our goodnight kiss was
given.
And like a lily her life did close.
Angels uncurtained that repose,
And the next waking dawned in
heaven"
death has made his darkness beau
tiful with thee"
Submission comes easier when the
passing of our dear ones is SO clear.
And like David we are called upon to
rise up and return to normal life
again. David tasted and prayed while
his child lived and there was hope of
recovery. But when the child died he
rose up, broke his fast saying II shall
go to him, he cannot return to me-"
Many continue to mourn. Like rivers
rushing down from the snowy slopes
into the sea and are lost; so such
lives, filled with sunshine, inspiration
and hope while the child lives, run
down into the grave and are buried
there.
David's comfort is ours if we will:
ct shall go to him, he will not return
to me-" In the grace of God we find
consolation, comfort and strength to
return to our normal life again. But
with our eyes upon: ga city without
griefs, without sins or sorrows, with
out births or burials, without mar
riages or MORNINGS; city which
glories in having Jesus for its king,
angels for its guards, saints for its
citizens; whose walls are salvation
and whose gables are praise"

COrpOreaI Punishment in
the School System.

In the enlightened West Gas we con-
slider it, we stand amazed at a story
from Elmsford, N. Y, where school
officials, parents and pupils grow red
faced and vociferous over the
use of corporal punishment in the
schools.
Principal Howard Holden, defend
ing the use of rubber hose in his
|own hands, advances the naive argu-
ment that had his own father used a
hose instead of rawhide in punish
ing him, he (the old man) would not
now be cripple for life. Then in
hushed tones Holden relates that the
bitten bit back and when dad tried to
punish him son put the old gent in a
hospital with a broken splne-a
helpless invalid. :
Mrs. William Clark, mother of the
boy who was licked with the hose,
jumps to the platform and seizes the
instrument of fagellation from Hol-
den's hands. She lashes herself over
the body, the arms and legs, using
vigorous strokes. Then she dares a
physician to bare her and see whether
or not she bears injuries.
Corporal punishment in schools is
taboo. There might arise instances
where teacher should use physical
force but they are rare. The child
requiring it should be isolated just as
the man who refuses to conduct him
self properly must be isolated. Most
children are tractable enough and
deserve beatings.
A display of force conveys no ar
gument except that one person IS
stronger than anotherf A child may
and does forgive parent who ad-
ministers a beating while in a rage,
but a cold-blooded dressing down,
given with quiet elaboration, is moth
ing short of brutal. And the child
might be crippled for life.
Force settles nothing. Reason, dis
cipline both for parent and child, will
settle many things. True progress
lies along sane lines.

MOTHER LEAVES DANCE
TO COMMIT SUICIDE

PALMYRA-No inquest will be held
into the death of Mrs. Ira Adsit, q,
who died at her home early Sunday
after drinking carbolic acid, Coroner
L. j. Auerbach said Monday, it being
apparent from her own statement that
she committed suicide. The woman,
mother of four children, left barn
dance and went home, and, when her
husband followed, told him she was
going to commit suicide. He left for
his brother and wife to demonstrate
with her, and upon returning, found
she had drunk the acid.

PaternaliSm
Coming Issue.

One of the things the people will
have to settle soon Cor they will be
engulfed) is the gradual encroachment
of the state and federal supervision
authority and supervision over their
private rights and activities. And this
fight, going on at all times, hinges
around the present fight as to whether
or not the ultimate authority should
rest in the constitution as at pres
ent or be vested in the whim of the
moment of a passing congress.
Ringing around the encroachment
of federal supervision is the old clash
over states rights. 1t seems to the
Herald that the South was right in
insisting on its power to regulate
purely domestic affairs but wrong and
totally wrong on the issue it went to
war over. To demand that human
slavery was morally right was indie
fensible However, be it remembered
Abe Lincoln himself said the Union
was the important thing and that if
he could save the country even half
slave and half free he would do so.
But the coming issue will be over
the question of paternalism. Here in
Wisconsin we have state government
interference into nearly every local
activity and many of us object to it.
To our mind there is no doubt but
what a majority of the people object
TO our present top-heavy state gov
eminent but they have no way of
registering their objection. And the
state machine is clever enough to pre-
vent any direct test of the issue.
In federal affairs the same trend
prevails and no less authority than
President Coolidge himself has voiced
a decided objection to this trend. And
that is exactly one of the reasons why
the writer is supporting Coolidge for
president.

STEAL 5 MAIL SACKS
AT MERRILIAN STATION

MERRILLAN-F1ve pouches of local
mail, dropped from the northbound
Omaha train to be transferred to
branch trains, were stolen from the
station platform here early Monday
morning.
The thieves took advantage of a
heavy fog to escape with the pouches
a few minutes after the train went
through about 5 a. m. When station
employees came after the bags at $50
a. m. they were gone.
While officials have no definite
clews as to the identity of the rob-
bers. Sheriff Carl Carlson and depu-
ties are following a trail north of the
city.
Railroad detectives were to aid in
the search as soon as they arrive. 1t
has been impossible as yet to discover
the value of the contents of the sacks
but none of the mail was registered
