MRS. WILLIAM STANLEY
Journal.

One of the regrets of this genera
ton is that one of it's mothers, Mrs.
William Stanley, has passed out int
the long journey. She came to Bar~
boo when but twelve years old, the
trip from the state of New York
being made tediously over the Great
Lakes by boat and from Milwaukee
to BaraboO in a vehicle drawn by a
horse. Those were the days of simple
ways, of pioneer hardships, and OF
growing up with the community, Rear
ing family and maintaining home
means a busy life, wel-rounded
life, a life contemporary with our
western civilization. TO Mrs. Stan
ley, with many other interests before
her, the home was her first care,
Her sympathies were deep and her
influence abiding
Mrs. Catherine Brandenburg, Mrs,
Priscilla Buckley, Mrs Catherine
Cheek, Mrs. Mary Flint, Mrs. Stan
ley and others formed group Oh
friends, bound together by the clos
est ties. One by one they have gone
Mrs. Stanley the last. A good, USE
full life came to peaceful close
when she laid down her work. We OF
this generation little realize what
we owe to those who came to tn,
community before the middle of the
last century to erect here that won
derful structure we call the TWEEN
tieth century civilization.
Mrs. Stanley leaves a fine family
numerous friends, and a community
filed with sorrow at her passing
The world is better for her having
lived a long life in it and long will
her influence be felt through the
passing years.

THE BOX PEACE PRIZE

The author Of the text which won
the Box peace prize did not expect
the plan which he devised to stop
war. Nothing will stop war until men
who desire to stop war control the
governments of the world But the
plan is devised to make it possible
for governments controlled by men
who do not want war, to talk over
the things that cause war, before the
wars start, and so by arguing things
out and getting the issues clearly
before the world, make wars less
.aiable to occur than they are today.
The author OF the American re
serve banking law did not expect to
stop panics. He merely hoped to pro-
vide a bulwark against unnecessary
panics. But the knowledge that there
is law to make panics less easily
achieved has of itself stabilized
American finance. 1t would not pre-
vent panic if the panic arose from
a real financial decay. But is does
prevent panics by stopping the fool
ish causes of unnecessary panics.
About this the Box Peace Plan woulG
do if it had a chance-and a little
more.-Emporia Gazette

A millionaire hotel owner was

Americas steel king was stocking
a blast furnace.
An international banker was firing
a locomotive.

was running printing press.
A great merchant was carrying a
pack on his back.
A railroad president was pounding
a telegraph key.

A PARABLE

Once there was q man who bought
a block in city and paid for it
$4,000. AS it increased in value he
advanced his rents. At last he was
getting returns from the. property
based on valuation of 100000 and
his neighbors called him a good
citizen and nobody proposed to take
from him either his property or his
returns from the same, neither did
any man say that law should be
pissed to give the control Of his
block to a group of politicians. Ht
stood high in the esteem of his com
munity. His fellow men paid him
homage.
Now, it SO happened that the same
man built a railroad that ran from
his home town to another city in an
adjoining state The property cost
him a million dollars and yielded no
return in net earnings for a period
of years, although it greatly helped
both cities and all their inhabitants.
At last it began to pay modestly
AT once the inhabitants of the cities
connected by the railroad petitioned
the government to pass law giving
the politicians the right to arbitrarily
control the management of the rail
road. At the same time they began
to berate the owner and called him
an enemy of society.
The result was that the govern
ment did take over the mans rail,
road and did manage the property
after a manner to make it more ex
penfve to those who used it and
OF less value to the communities IL
served than 1t had been when it waa

controlled absolutely by its owner.
AS a consequence of this both the
owner of the road and the communh
ties served by it suffered.
Finally it came about that a queer
and eccentric man who lived in one
Of the cities asked if anybody could
explain to him why the owner of the
railroad was berated for building.
owning and operating that piece of
property and praised for getting rich
from the business block that cost him
but $4,000.
And after he had asked the ques-
ton no man answered, but publicly
he was branded as a fool and one
without sense Furthermore, it was
pointed out that when in his pres
ence somebody had been heard to re-
fer to the intelligent public" the
man had laughed derisively and after
the manner of one who had heard
somebody say something that was ex-
cruciatingly funny-New York Com,

NEW YORK.S TURN

The editor Of The Emporia Ca

serving the frenzy into which Father
Kntckedbacker has worked himself
touching the eighteenth amendment
dropped hint to that city yesterday
worth the careful consideration of
the elders and bishops and wise men
of all the east
All one hears in New York and
throughout New England in these
piping days of peace on earth good
will to men, Is a discussian of pro"
hibition Throughout the rest of the
country the eight BERTH amendment
is a settled fact, as well established
as the Homestead act or free schools
But New York appears to think it is

to have a constitution it cannot be
obeyed in spots
1t was about time for someone to
give New York reminder that there
are sections of the country west of
1.-THE Allegheny mountains that have
some notions of their own about ma.
tional policies and civic righteous
ness. South Carolina, in it's most
rampant moments against the aboli
.tionlsts, never-untiI it seeded from
the Union-was more beside itself
on that question than New York and
some other states on the question of
prohibition. If New York doesn't like
the eighteenth amendment it might
TRY secession. But if it wants t.,
remain under the flag of the free and
in the home Of the brave, it is high
time it made up it's mind that it will
be compelled to get along without
sbooze.
We cannot have a constitution, as
the Emporia editor points out. that
is obeyed only in spots. And some
day the United States marshal is
destined to step into New York's bus
mess office with writ of mandamus

inform Father Knickerbocker thai
we cannot have country that Is
two thirds dry and e-Shird wet.
