NEW BOILER FOR
PUMPING PLANT
BEING SHIPPED

The city hall received word Friday
of the shipment of the new boiler for
the water plant. The new boiler,
costing $1,335, was bought from the
Freeman Mfg. Co. of Racine. 1t re-
places a boiler put in with the origi-
nal installation over 80 years ago.
The old boiler could not be operated
at a pressure above go pounds where
good working conditions require a
pressure of 10 pounds. This is the
second boiler installation to go in in
a few years. The other boiler was
replaced several years ago at a cost
exceeding $4,000 when fully installed
The bare cost of the boiler is less
than half of the cost installed. This
is shown by the fact that the other
boiler cost the city $3.50 f. o. b. the
factory, the installation cost being
around $1,000.

Gray or Pink?
Take Your Choice.

The political situation at present
points to the nomination of Coolidge
backed by the "old line" republicans.
Coolidge holds the lead and will be
a favorite in election betting If La
Toilette gains in health enough to
make the race he will be asked to
head third party. This party will
pull votes from Coolidge, carrying the
Dakotas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mon
tana, Idaho, and possibly Kansas, Ne
braska and Iowa. Coolidge will carry
the east, the far west and the mid
west but his vote will be badly bent
in the northwest giving democracy a
good chance at the White House.
Democracy for years entitled to re-
spect and attention as a legitimate
party of protest, enters the lists this
year without tangible issue outside
of the cry of corruption surrounding
Teapot Dome, Whiskey frauds, etc.
The party is certain to carry the
South and this block of votes may
win the election
With three candidates and no one
polling a majority of the votes cast
the election will be thrown into the
house of Representatives as it was a
hundred years ago when John Quincy
Adams won in congress over Andrew
Jackson, the popular candidate.
This is all forecast but it is reas-
enable forecast. What will happen in
the next five months is bound 10 be
interesting.

Education
and Genius.

and Genius.
President Royce in his address be-
fore the Kiwanis club here Wednes-
day made a telling point in favor OF
education when he cited the career
of Louis Pasteur, French scientist,
who among other things isolated the
anthrax germ and found remedy
thereby saving France alone a billion
dollars. Without education" Mr..
Royce said, "Pasteur would never
have made his great discovery"
Pasteur was genius as Edison is
a genius and as Wilbur Wright was
a genius. All the education in the
world would not have availed had
not Pasteur had genius but without
education the genius of Pasteur would
have lain in his bosom undeveloped
Shakespeare was a genius. Without
education, and clearly Shakespeare
was highly educated, he would have
been a mute poet feeling great
thoughts but without ability to eX-
press himself.
There is no clash here. The com
mon rank and file of us who have
merely commOn-sense and ploddang,
dull aims, place the proper apprecla-
ton on genius. We understand that
it pleases genius to do certain things
and it is not our province to question
why or how. We know the results
will come.
A few times in a century the race
produces a genius. An epochal ad-
vance follows and human life is rich
er because genius has Powered. There
is no other aristocracy than this.
