THEY'RE ALL CURSING
THE $500 EXEMPTION

That homestead exemption bill,
passed by the last legislature as a
political trick to get unsuspecting
votes, is certainly aroVsing the just
wrath of the farming communities,
and every exchange on The Journal
list almost weekly carries a protest
or complaint from its rural interests
who are beginning to realize how
badly their politician-representatives
stung them in this vicious bit of
political strategy.
The Pepin Herald, in a lengthy
article, points out how the new ex-
emption law hits the farmer in
School Dist. No. /, quoting the fol-
lowing figures to illustrate its point:
"This year the district voted to
raise $500 by taxation. The asses
sed valuation of the village of Pepin
is $217,550, and for that portion of
The town lying within the school
district is S113,815. On this basis
the village must raise $5,580.48 and
the town $2,919.52 of the $500.
The above is apportioned under the
new exemption law.
Had the apportionment been made
on the old scale the figures would
have been as follows: the assessed
valuation in the village would have
been S378,770, and of that portion of
the district outside the village, $780,
els. The village would then have
had to raise S6,454.77 and the town
$2,045.23 of the $500.
"Thus it can be readily seen that
the homestead exemption law is di-

Fables On Health
PULL THE OARS.

"Do you do any rowing?" the ply
steal trainer asked Mr.. Mann when the
latter returned from his vacation.
''Naw, I let the kid do it. What do
want to row for?' was the reply.
"What do you want arms for, or
a chest?' demanded the p. t.
To those who may not have been on
vacation wise tip is this: Get in
a little rowing every day if you hap
pen to be near lake.
Or, if there is a park lake, go out
and do a turn there once in while.
This failing, there is still the rowing
machine at the gymnasium.
For there are few exercises, in which
play and work mingle, that beat row
ing for the development of arms,
shoulders and backs. Leg muscles are
also aided, and few muscles of the
body escape some benefit.
1t should not be overdone, particu-
larly at first, but the distance rowed
can be increased gradually and it is
surprising what benefit is to be gain
ed; also how far one may row without
noticing the distance.

LIVING UP TO THE REGULATIONS.

DR. Morgan, of the Health Department is to
be commended on his efforts to bring about the
complete enforcement of the regulations sur
rounding the milk supply of Kenosha. He in
slsts that men who want to sell milk in Keno
sha play the game according to the rules He
insists that the safety of the children be pro-
tected. He insists that fair play be extended
to every man in the milk business.
The fact that he has taken out warrants
against certain dealers does not necessarily
mean that these dealers have been selling bad
milk but it does mean that they have not met
the regulations which the city imposes.
a health department cannot make flesh of
one and fowl Of another Regulations to be of
value must be enforced against every man in
the trade no matter who ne may be or what
kind ow milk he handles. The aim of depart
ment regulations is to safeguard the milk sup
ply of Kenosha. No chain is stronger than It's
weakest link and no milk supply is safe so long
as one OF them contributing to it are permitted
TO set aside as not apply to them and their pla-
ces or regulation which are fair and reasonable
1t one man can violate these regulations it
is fair to believe that all of them may disre-
gard them and then Kenosha would have>no
regulation for its milk supply, and the lack of
regulations would be ar invitation to make
kenosha the dumping ground for all the refuse

ing cities

able tran anything else. and the safety of these

ANIMAL.

The theory of evolution, by allying
men with the animals, has during and
since the war led large numbers of
men to interpret life in animal terms,
to turn their backs on the spiritual in
terrSAtation of life which Christianity
offers. So claims Canon Hay Aitken,
EnglanNs leading revivalist.
He is a bit unfair to the animals.
They are entirely natural. Mans wick
edness is without exception the result
of evading or short circuiting natural
processes.

PUT PEP INTO THE CAMPAIGN.

There has been considerable talking done in
the present primary campaign, and we are of
the opinion that there has been enough talk
ing and that it is time to get down to some real
manual labor. If Wisconsin is to get new
set of officials, made up of men who appreciate
the call of the state rather than the call of some
politician, there must be some real work done.
A few men going about the state talking can
not change an election. 1t is possible that
they may help some, but the work must be done
by individuals who feel that this rescuing of the
state from the hands of men who have exploit
ed it to their own political advancement is
personal matter.
Every citizen of Wisconsin is directly inter-
ested in this campaign for sane and safe gov
ernment and every one of them is expected to
show personal interest, not only by voting,
but by seeing to it that the people with whom
he OF she comes in contact are awakened to the
opportunity which the campaign presents
It's only little while until the primary cleo
ton, and it's going to be mighty hard to get
any action after the primary vote is counted.
The time for real work is before and not after
the primary. Wisconsin is Republican state
and the best bet is that the men nominated on
the Republican ticket in September will be
elected on the Republican ticket in November
If the people sit idly by and let the same old
gang get on the ticket, they can expect the same
old gang to be running the state government
next year. "a
The Democratic candidates may be nice fell
lows, but Wisconsin voters long ago forgot
where the Democratic ticket was located on the
ballot, and they are going to have a lot-of trou-
BILE finding it this year.
The man who is working along the right
lines is the fellow who is seeing to it that the
right men are placed on the Republican ticket.
We are not accustomed to apepaling to ''fair-
minded Democrats, but they should be as able
as any one else to see which. side of the bread
has the butter on it.

time preoccupied by the question of
separations. Great Britain, or at least
part Of its press, accused France of
seeking through this important new
alliance to crush Germany. The Ital-
ians printed columns about the immi-
nent domination of France over all the
Danubian countries. Germany protest
ed against so-called French oppression
and plans of enlightenment. To add to
the effect of this accusation the Ber-
liner Tageblatt published on March 10
eight documents which were asserted
to be secret clauses of the treaty sign
ed on Jan. %. A superficial survey re-
vealed the falsity of it all. The treaty
is neither secret appendix nor mill
tary pact. General defensive measures
had been considered at the request of
the Czechoslovakian government be-
fore the treaty was ever though of.
France, Belgium, Poland, Czechosla-
vakia, Italy, Jugoslavia and Rumania,
in seeking alliances, have had no 9TH
er aim than to safeguard both them
selves and the world against the ever
present danger of unprovoked aggres-
sion and invasion which so many coun-
tries, and especially the United States,
have been spared. One must have suf
fered to understand their agonies.
This treaty is part of whole consti-
tuting program of European peace

with the work of the League of Ma

The de la Huerta revolt in Mexico
during last winter was, about all else,
a recrudescence of century old vices
the spawn of rampant militarism. Ex-
cept during the Juarez and Madero rev.
olutions, the military class has been
the determining factor in Mexico po-
litical life, the fundamental instru-
ment of social control. 1t has been
the one powerful organized force. The
army in Mexico almost merits the title
of institution. And yet, Mexico has
rarely had a national army; it has
had, however, any number of feudal
armies. Military organization has been
based on shifting personal allegiance
rather than on ideals or patriotism.
The government and the people have
always been the victims, never the ben
eficiaries. The militarists have their
eye always on the main chance; they
watch for any and every opportunity
for betrayal. "The army always wins"
is the Mexican adage. That this ex-
pectation was not realized in the case
of the de la Huerta revolt-perhaps the
first important exception to the his
tory of Mexican army betrayals-has
been due to the unique character of
the Obregon administration.
Opposed to the tendencies represent
ed in the de la Huerta movement have
been, in general, the more enlighten-
ed elements of the nation. Certain
popular forces were set in motion by
the progressive principles that have
inspired the Obregon government.
First of all, there has grown up, even
among the military a group imbued
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1924-08-14

with greater loyalty to the nation.
Though this loyalty has been to some
extent traditionally individual, in that
it swears' allegiance to Obregon as a
'hero," nevertheless it finds most of
its nourishment in the very fact that
he embodies a national rather than a
factional ideal. Obregon has built up
and cemented this devotion, and pre-
cisdy for this reason the legal region
al forces did not crumble as occurred
under Madero, Huerta and Carranza.

Konopiste, that magnificent estate in

were wont to holiday ere the war dis
rupted the Austro-H Hungarian empire,

furniture, the crystal lustres, even the
priceless works of art on the walls, re-
main uncovered. In several of the state
rooms life-size paintings of Countess

tables are the books last read and
needlework dropped from the hands of

Yet over all hangs an air, somehow
of antiquity. The impression grows as
