A COMPARISON
By w. H. Hunt

| have but two final requests to
make of the voters of the Tenth
Senatorial District.
First; compare my local committee
with the managers of my opponent s
campaign. Second; read my plat
form carefully.
First let us make brief comrar-
ison. Each and every person on my
committee is a man or woman of in
tergity, with only the highest Of mo-
tives. You know these people and
you will agree with me.
Compare them and their motives
with an Arch Lobbyist, feverishly
engaged in trying to put his man
across.
The voters will be inclined to ask
themselves the question, "Why?"
When such performance takes
place there is usually reason.
/ have consistently refused to be
traded, dickered or managed. This
evidently is very distasteful to a few
people. But / shall continue in my
present course, both before and after
election. / do not propose to be any
body's imam" at Madison. If this
is necessary l prefer not to represent
you.
Now, regarding my platform,
wish to thank my opponent for dis
cussing it before the people of River
Falls recently. l want it to be dis
cussed and scrutinized very closely.
So far as | have been able to ascer-
tain, this platform has stood in
spection in every part of the district,
and ] want to assure the voters again
that | stand squarely on that plat
form.
My opponent, so | am told, made
the statement that those things have
been accomplished. / am sorry he
made this statement, for the records
show that no one of them has been
accomplished. Mr.. Hanson did not
mean to make a misstatement. He
is not that kind of man. He has
simply forgotten.
/ also understand that my oppon-
ent defended long sessions of the
legislature, saying they are necessary
in order to get the business done
What business, may / ask? Will not
everybody agree that the people OF
Wisconsin would have been much
better off and millions of dollars

journed the next day after it con.
vened?

In closing l will say that l am glac
to note that Assemblyman MINER Of

and will use every effort to have the
exemption bill repealed. Will Others
follow with a similar statement?

SPEAKER DAHL FAVORS
HIRST FOR GOVERNOR

Assemblyman John Dahl, in talk
to his home folks and neighbors,
vigorously supported the attack made
upon the administration of Governor
Blaine by the La Toilette Progress
sives of Wisconsin.
1.-TWO more years of Governor
Blaine, and the progressive cause will
be lost to the state" said Mr.. Dahl.
"The Governor is rightfully con-
demned by the leading La Toilette
Progressives; but l feel duty bound
to the progressive cause in going one
step further, and urging the support
Of A. r. Hirst for governor. Wis
consin progressives who have the
welfare of their state at heart will
spare no effort to retire John j.
Blaine from public Office. The way
to do it is to support A. r. Hirst.
Senator Severson and Edwin Gross
have condemned Governor Blaine for
his failure to adhere to the progress
sive principles during his admins.
tration. / heartily agree in that con-
demnation, but / insist that the only
remedy is to concentrate our forces
against Mr.. Blaine in the coming
primary. He must be defeated, and
A. R. Hirst is the man who, with our
help, can do it.

in Wisconsin for seventeen years, and

Real Estate Procedure
in BobyIonish Times

Hammurabi, king Of Babylon, wrote
into his code of laws-the first code Of
laws known to hlstOrlans--severa sec
lions defining the rules of procedure
in real estate deals, says the Detroit
News. In Hammurabis code the ten
ant paid down part of his rent when
he moved in and the rest at his own
cunelform documents. The poorest
workmen could purchase himself Il
dwelling for years wages or rent
one for thirtleth Of his income. In
stead Of levying taxes, the king car
ried on real estate operations for him
self and looted surrounding kingdoms
to III his eXchequer.
When man mortgaged his estate
he was personally responsible. II he
failed to meet his payment the mort
gagor could hold him as slave or
take his wife and children, but the
land itself could not be sold in salts
faction for debt. Similarly II could
not be willed to whomever the pos
SCISSOR wished. There were no Wills
5000 years ago. And property In
Babylona was Unbeatable only by the
sons. II man wished to provide for
his wife and daughter he could deed
land or houses to them while he was
alive; the sons would be responsible
for nothing after his death except
dowries for their unmarried sisters.

REASON LOST WHEN
PANIC TAKES HOLD
Why Theater Audiences Are
Most Prone to IL.

Panic has been defined as any sud
den and unreasonable fear or terror
without any visible cause.
1t owes its name to the pagan god
Pan, who was supposed to frequent
forests and other wild places In ma
ture. When the traveller In ancient
times thought the god appeared to him
he was struck with sudden terror, and
this gave rise to the expression "panic
fear"
Though panics not infrequently arise
when there Is no real or adequate
cause, they may also occur In the
presence Of real danger.
Fear Is fundamental instinct
urging us to avoid danger, usually by
flight, (and there can be little doubt
that It is primarily protective In ma
ture).
Ordinary fear is under our control
to large extent and can be Influenced
by our reasoning power. The most
courageous men are not so much those
who are without fear as those who are
able to control 1t.
No other emotion, however is so
readily aroused by suggestion and lml-
tation. and in this, its panic form, fear
Is both unreasoning and impulsive.
Selling upon huge crowds It suddenly
spreads through them like an infec-
ton, resulting in wild and blind
rush for safety.
1t is believed that reasoned fear,
which gives rise to deeds of self-sac-
riflce and heroism, has Its origin in Il
higher part of the brain than mere
panic. which is more primitive.
Earthquakes are probably nearly al
ways accompanied by panic, which Is
little to be marveled at, considering
mans helplessness In the face Of ma
lures vast upheavals.
At the beginning of the last cen
fury 1t was prophesled that an earth
quake would take place and thousands
of Londoners spent the night In tents
and carriages in Hyde park
Theater audiences are especially
prone to give way to panic, owing to
the fact that their emotions have al
ready been worked up by the perform
ance.
Throughout history panics have
been common in time of war, and
have not lnfrequently given victory to
tho smaller force.
They have accompanied all kinds of
disasters, both on land and on sea,
and have been the cause of the loss
of many lives which might otherwise
have been saved.

Changing Forms

Ignorance of forms cannot proper
ly be styled Ill manners; because
forms are subject to frequent changes
and consequently, being not founded
upon reason, are beneath wise mans
regard, Besides, they vary in every
country; and after short period Of
time, vary frequently in the same; so
that man who travels must needs
be Mt first stranger TO them In ev-
cry court through which he passes !;
and perhaps, at his return, as much
a stranger in his own; and after all,
they are easier to be remembered or
forgotten than faces or names.-Jona-
than Swift.
