POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

Mr. Willie Jenny Bryan said all the mean things
he could think of against Davis before he was
nominated, including the statement that he
wouldn't do at all because he was J. p. Morgan
attorney and an agent of Wall street. Then the
measley delegates turned around and nominated
Bil1y,s brother Charlie for vice-presideIit which
has necessitated Billy turning back handspring,
swallowing all his gorge against John Davis. Baly
now says what he said about Davis don't count, it
was merely political exegences that made him act
hathaway. Billy has always claimed to be some
thing over 1I2 per cent for honesty and high
morals. We are really sorry that Billy had to
switch so quick from his high moral plant to 'po-
litical exegencies.'' Those who read his red hot
speech against Davis haven't had time to forget
it and his swift change of heart does not convince
one very strongly of his sincerity. Now we are
not blaming Billy for his quick switch Of elo-
quence just because he is a democrat Wemerely
wish to point out the fact that the politician the
kind America breeds, are willing, nay, anxious to
swap all their high sounding words for a chance
to win votes. What does the average office seeker
care by what means he bilks the voters, provided
he wins? Barnln hit the center and inside Of our
political troubles, when he boiled the whole works

DAWES A GO-GETTER

Charles G. Dawes doesn't seem to care much
about hot airand technicalites as he does results
This fact was particularly in evidence throughout
his service as purchasing agent for our govern
ment IN France during the war, and his work in
preparing national budget system
Dawes struck at the root of the farmers troub-
les-lack of sufficient foreign market-when he
framed reparation plan under which Germany
and all Europe could revive and prosper for in
operation, that plan would increase Europe's abl-
lty to buy american farm products
The farmer suffers as much from high prices
for what he buys as from low prices for what he
sells, and Dawes can analyze the cause in man
ner to confound those whose remedy is to hand
over the railroads for operation by the govern
ment or adopt other socialistic schemes.
AS matter of fact, the American farmer and
business man have much at stake in the successful
acceptance and application of the Dawes plan for
settlement of the Allied Reparatioh question with
Germany.

A BRIEF OF POLITICAL SITUATION


McAdoo and AL Smith fought deul to finish
and both were finished.
The Klan issue couldn't be settled in any politi-
cal convention in the world In other words you
can't compromise on religion in a political con-
venton. 1t can't be done according~to the average
American constitution way he is constitut-
ed.
McAdoo was the idol of the railroad unions. 1t
was either McAdoo or LaFollette for them long
before the democratic or 4th party affair which
nominated LaFollette as an independent free
lance, both of whom professed to believe in 'tak-
ing it away from the people" and handing it over
to those who organize strongest and demand it
most.
John w. Davis is the nominee of the democrat
ic party. Bryan touts him as al. p. Morgan Wall
street attorney and a man to shun.
As near as1one can see the present political out
look, the real fight will be between Coolidge and
LaFollette. That is to say the democratic party
split three ways will go to Davis one-third Cool
idge one-third and LaFolette one-third- resulting
Coolidge, tWo-thirds.

EDUCATION AS is

What raw material does this coun-
try send to China? Missionaries.
What are Mysteries I? Something
that tells about history.
Name "a constitutional right. The
right to keep bare arms.
4 These are few Of what William H.
Allen, director of the Institute. for
Public Service, calls "high spots" in
the field of education in an article IN
the July McClure's Magazine.
He says they are due to confused
ideas and adefect in teaching methods
which must be paid for later in con-
fused ideas and muddled practices in
business and government.
Some other typical examples. taken
from questions asked school children,
follow:
What is the electoral college? A
place for boys who want to learn
electricity.
What are election polls? Poles
which hold up the voting building,
What is specific heat? Heat the
Pacific ocean gives off.
Why did Germany and Austria
lose prestige? I've looked all over
the map and Iscan't find Prestige.
What is a barbecue? A place to
get your hair cut.
Why does bread sometimes have
holes? Because it is made out of
whole wheat.
In what battle did Gen. Wolf say,
when hearing of victory, Il die
happy" / think it was his last.
What is a volcano? "A mountain
that is sick to its stomach.

JICCS SHOW AT
AL. RINGING

Bringing Up Father on Broadway
was presented to a full house at the
AL. Ringing theater last evening.
This musical comedy at popular prl-
ces drew one of the best crowds to
assemble for a play here this sea-
son.
George McManus' famous cartoon
characters, Jiggs and Maggie and
Kitty and Dinty Moore, romped
through two acts Of amusing enter
tainment and the chorus of Broad
way Beauties appeared in new set
of costumes with amazing rapidity
and success.
The character of Jiggs Mahoney
was very we'll taken 10y Walter Yer
non and his belligerent wife Maggie
by Victoria Vincent. Dinty Moore and
Kitty carried their roles true to
their funny paper fame, Dinty adding
few flourishes by developing a
marked talent for jogging.
The chorus was poppy and their
dances were executed with an en-
thusiasm and vigor which marked
the whole show Probably one Of
the best dances of the chorus was
that Of the Wooden Soldiers.
Jiggs prospective son-in-law So
cures a love potion in the form Of
chocolates which members of the
party enroute to Honolulu eat and the
resulting effects create a situation
exceedingly funny. Even the stern
Maggie is softened by the candies
and quite overwhelms Dinty Moore
with her attentions. ~
Single numbers by members of
the company were good, consisting of
song an dance specialties.
For the first time in some weeks
many out-of-town persons were able
to motor to Baraboo to attend the
play.
The Portage-Baraboo road is re-
ported to be in fine condition.

To The Singers

AS the expressive stanzas rose and
fell,
Twas hard the singing ecstacies TO
quell;
AS the wild mob in blood lust were
portrayed,
With phantom keen of him who had
betrayed;
The gradual paening triumph lifting
high
Death thou art vanQuished when the
martyrs die;
Then glad emotion, bursting, lifting
free;
Christ we do all adore thee-only
thee"
What wondrous power has music to
enthrall,
And subtly battle the spirit Of us all;
Could spoken word such vivid picture
paint
Of angered mob, or when our Lore
grew faint?
Music there is, we know, in written
word,
And some there are that prose has
never stirred;
But all who heard of Calvary's fear
full price
In reverent song, visioned the sacri-
flee.
In appreciation
