Published for Everybody.

1t should be remembered that the
newspaper is for everybody. If you
see something which is of little
interest to- you, remember that
there are others" and that the en-
tire paper is not printed especially
for you. The very thing that is
dull and uninteresting to you may
be the best thing in the paper for
some other reader, and other read
ers have just as good right to be
pleased as you have. There are
whole pages in the papers that are
of no interest to us, but they are
to others. A paper which con-
tanned but such matter as would
interest any particular one of us
would have a very limited number
of readers. There are many people
Of many minds and the paper must
have something for each one of
em.-Plymouth Reporter.
The real newspaper also endeav-
ors to publish all the news that is
not of any obscene character, says
the Gillett Times, without regard
to whom it may please or displease,
and not because the newspaper en-
dorses the news-simply because it
is news. Newspapers publish items
regarding murders, burglaries, etc.,
but they do not endorse the acts of
the lawless persons engaged In
such acts; they publish these items
simply because they are news. The
same rule may be applied with
equal force to items of local hap
penings in which the editors have
no more interest than simply tc
publish actual newsy events.

write its own platform. This is
the one dominant necessary note
in the entire situation as it stacks
up today. We have at Madison a
coterie of politicians who have ro-
tated in office for number of
years and who are now engaged, to
considerable extent, in investi-
eating each other. 1t IS time that
the people did their own investigat-
ing and the way to do it is via this
State Convention that it is pro-
posed to hold ninety days prior to
the Primary in 1926.

Suffering for Muskies.

Suffering for muskies, walleyes,
and pickerel is favorite method
of catching these widely known
fish. Use a piece Of pork rind,
topped with bit of red flannel
for your lure. A long cane pole,
the kind that has gone down in
history as the fish pole, is used.
The fishing is done by skipping the
lure first to one side then to the
other among lily pads, rushes and
old roots and logs.

An Asset or Liability.

The boys of a community are
that community's greatest asset.
Because this fact is unrecognized
by the large majority Of our people,
we desire to bring a few practical
points of interest and informa-
ton to your attention.
This greatest of all assets bids
fair to become a decided liability
unless our community awakens to
its responsibility and opportunity.
Boys are men in the making.
The kind of men they are to be
they are now becoming.
Some one said, Boys will need
no house of correction if they have
open to them a house of affection"
Boys crave companionship. Atmos-
phere shapes character, for truly,
character is caught and not
taught" Like a chameleon, a boy
takes on the color of his environ
ment.
What kind of atmosphere are we
as citizens of this city making for
these twigs" of men to grow in?
Are we taking into consideration
the four-sided nature of the boy
the Spiritual, Mental, Physical and
Social and are we providing for
his development along all of these
ines?
A strong spiritual life is the real
backbone Of character. Our past
methods Of dealing with the boy
have not tended to develop this
greatest side Of his nature. Honor,
Courage, Morality, Kindness, I'M
sellishness, and all other worth
while human attributes emcnate
from this side Of the boys life.
The boy mind is alert, inquisitive
beyond compare. Who can ask
more questions than a boy? And
who gets so few questions properly
answered? Keep Quiet!" Don't
talk so much" Don't ask so many
questions!" and numerous other
negative injunctions curb one of
the substructures of character.
There are some questions for which
he will find ready answer from vic
ious sources. Don't make him turn
there; THINK WITH THE BOYS
MIND!
What a wonderful creation is the
body of a growing boy and how
remarkably complicated. Probably
no piece of machinery entrusted to
your care would receive less atten-
tion than has the boy received. A
boys physical energy must have a
vent and all too often he meets
with DON'T MAKE SO MUCH
NOISE! Know this. THAT BOYS
AND NOISE ARE INSEPARABLE
and you must choose between them
spare the noise and lose the boys.
Play with your boy. Be boy again
for his sake and your own.
The Social instinct in Boyhood in
a very real factor and must be
considered. Develop his social life.
Make him at home in your com
pany. BE HIS PAL so that your
friends and acquaintance become
his as a natural consequence, and
his become yours. Let the mis-
takes of your life profit his life.
BE HIS PAL!

Fly Rods.

In selecting a fly rod, pick out
the size and length that best suits
your own requirements. If you fish
on a small stream you will find a
light rod about nine feet long best.
But if you fish larger rivers and if
it is necessary to cast long line,
the nine and one half foot rod
weighing five and one half ounces,
with stiff action is best. Stout
rods cast farthest. They also are
the best for casting the larger
lures such as bass bugs, or spinner
flies.

A White Tailed Squirrel.

On the Kaibab plateau north of
the Grand Canyon lives a squirrel
which is claimed to be different
fro many other squirrel in the
world. 1t is similar to a. grey squir-
rel, but its large bushy tail is pure
white. 1t is very timid and diff
cut to approach.

TOO MUCH REFORM
Wisconsin Voters Have Been
Promised Much-But Get
Nothing.

Wisconsin voters were promised
some twenty years ago that if the
railroads could be properly taxed,
the revenue derived would be such
that taxes on real and personal
property would be materially re-
duced. History has not borne out
the truth Of the prophesy.
The taxes on Wisconsin railroads
have increased from 81 ,547,141 in
1900, to S7,400,925 in 1924 and the
taxes on real and personal property
have increased from $16,766, 861 in
1900 to 500, 120,302 in 1924, and the
question now arises, why it there
this tremendous increase in the
face of a promised reduction and
even in view of the fact that all
costs have increased in Wisconsin
like taxes. This question is very
pertinent because no cost has in
creased in Wisconsin like taxes.
The answer is so simple that any
child, willing to give a little study
to the situation, will readily arrive
at it. That answer is SUPER
GOVERNMENT.
Too much interference along
every line with private affairs. Too
many reforms of every name and
nature; too many boards, bureaus,
commissions, regulators and in
spectors and a Legislature not res
ponsive to the will Of the people.
in 1900 the total General Fund dis
bursements were $2,635, 1872 and in
1924 they were 21,872 465, an in
crease Of over 1900, while the pop
ulation increased only 1870. In
1900 every man, woman and child
in Wisconsin was governed, pro-
tected and legislated for a cost of
$1.27 each for state government,
and in 1924 this cost had jumped
to $8.19. That these state boards
and commissions have materially
contributed to the increased cost
of government is shown by the fol-
lowing samples:

1t is not the specific purpose of
this article to criticize all Of the
boards and commissions at Madi-
son, nor specifically the ones here
in mentioned, but simply to point
out a few figures and let the tax
payer draw his own conclusions.
The Supreme Court Of the state
in 1900 cost 500, 1913, and in 1924
it only cost 85,950.44. In other
words the advance in the running
cost of this necessary branch of
the government kept pace with the
advance in the cost of the other
things, but when it is compared
with almost any Of the other bu-
reaus, boards and commissions,
those activities with innumerable
employees on their staff, the differ
ence in the increased cost over the
period is startling, and the time
has come when the rank and file
Of Wisconsin voters should take an
interest in seeing to it that some
sanity is injected into affairs at
Madison.
That there is protest through
out the state there is no question.
1t found expression in the confer
ence held in Oshkosh on March
End, and if there was any one domi-
nant note at that conference it
was the protest there voiced against
the primary system which permits
candidates for office to select them
selves, and after they are nomin-
ated, write their own platforms.
In the final analysis this condition
is responsible for many of the ills
in taxes that the people of the
state are suffering from. A poll
teal machine has been built up
that has perpetuated itself in office
for almost a quarter of a century
with only slight intervals Of relief.
Through the present primary sys-
tenn the people virtually lost, not
the right, but the act of free
assemblage. They were told that it
was all wrong for a caucus to get
together and pick delegates to a
convention, and which afterwards
picked candidates, but they are
learning that the present system,
which permits the candidate to
pick himself, is bearing fruit far
more bitter than ever came from
the old SYSTEM
The outcome of the statewide
conference held at Oshkosh was the
election of statewide Executive
Committee, two from each Con-
gressional District. This Execu-
tive Committee met on May 1st
and transacted the business auth
orized by the conference, among
other things, authorizing a uni
form county constitution under
which delegates to the State Con-
vention in 1926 can be selected.
The conference took determined
stand that the gathering was not
in the interests of any candidate,
clique, group or faction. 1t went
on record that the thing to be
done was to call statewide repre-
sentative convention which should
select its own candidates and

Summer Recreation.

What can we do with the chill
dren during the vacation period?
This is a problem that confronts
most parents and happy answer
to it is being sought.
It's not so great in the country
because there is not so much dan
ger that children will get into mis-
CHIEF on account of idleness. The
farm offers plenty of work for
strong young muscles, and near to
nature as it is, the tasks are health
promoting, body building work.
But in the town and city, anxious
parents are constantly seeking
ways and means of keeping the
active youngsters occupied. They
are not dumb driven cattle. They
like to be busy doing something,
and if method can be found to
turn their energy into useful chan
nels, they will be benefited and
the temptation to fall into evil
ways will be removed.
With scarcity of work for
young hands, the best substitute is
a playground center where a part
OF vacation time can be devoted
to organized play.
Many communities have recog-
nized their responsibility and have
provided Fairgrounds, as we'll as a
director Exchange.
The answer is this: Let them.
spend the school vacation months
in Northern Wisconsin's lake re-
gion IN one of the accredited bows
or girls camps. Under special care
OF trained men and women the
eight weeks spent in the Big Out
doors will build them into clean
man. and womanhood and fit them
IN the overcoming of the many pit
falls they are subject to in the
cities.

Food for the Big Ones.

An alligator recently killed in
South Carolina had five mallard
ducks in its stomach. Ducks had
been disappearing for some time on
a nearby preserve, and the alliga-
tor is blamed. But the alligator
was a piker beside dolphin
whose stomach was opened by a
Danish scientist not long ago. The
scientist set out to count the small
fish found in the big fsh's
stomach, and he counted up to
5000. The scientist did it by
counting the earbones Of the tiny
fish. Every fish has two, and he
counted to 1861 before he quit.
And this was just one meal!

A real man does little more than
he promises.
A real man is dependable.
A real man is loyal to his friends
and guards their reputation as his
own.
A real man cannot hurt a woman,
physically or morally. He sticks to
his wife. He can be loyal if love is
impossible.
A real man minds his own business.
He does not judge other persons be-
yond sure acknowledgement presuming

A real man has excuses for others.
