A BURIED HOODOO

Down at Daytona, Fla. a group
of town boosters had a big cere-
mony ON the beach and resolved
thenceforth to devote their every
effort to promote the welfare of
their town and country. They de-
cided never to neglect a civic re-
sponsibiity, whether that of vot-
ing, making true tax returns, sup
porting the best man for the pub
lie job, OF giving wholehearted
encouragement to the officials who
are elected,
In token of this they brought
out an effigy of the familiar AM
erican alibi of Let George Do It,
and after mauling the figure all
over the beach. buried it in a
grave most wide and deep.
1t remains to be seen how long
this conversion to better man
ner of civic life will last. If it
endures, other communities could
try the plan, to their advantage.

fort to do this, good must follow.
Unfortunately, while this is the
age Of a universal tendency to-
ward better things, it is also the
age of quackery. There exists an
army of doctrinaires who are con-
tinually shouting their formulas
from the housetops and are might

not swallow them and ask for
more. There are busybodies who
beat the air and pillow the sand.
but who never do anything that is
constructive or worth while.
The world today wants men of
action, not takers. 1t wants
leaders, not shouters. Above all
it wants to retain that spirit of
confidence and hope without which
all things would end.

PANDORA,S HOPE CHEST

That old story about Pandora's
box has as much interest today as
it had in the mythical days of an

virtues which Pandora did not
allow to escape from her prec-

ed in the world ever since.
Today the world is more hope
full than ever. and despite the
many depressing and disturbing
influencps at work there is no
general tendency to sink under
these or let them become FREEDOM
inant.
The world is neither ali good,
nor is it all bad, and this has been
the way Of the world since its be-
ginningy but for the first time in
history there exists a movement
for it's betterment in which al
most every tribe and nation is
endeavoring to participate.
Nevertheless the destructive
forces which permeate the world
today cannot be ignored. One
might as well ignore a fostering
sore which increases in viru1ence
the more it is hidden and neglect

which are at work must be fol-

RESURRECTIONYILLE

Scientists who are digging up
buried cities might obtain some
thing interesting if they came to
Baraboo. BY following Lynn street
to where it joins the angling lane
connecting with Potter, near the
roundhouse, and by going down a
few feet they would find the be-
ginning of an electric railroad, a
few rails and ties buried in the
clay soil. The idea was once a
thriving prospect but the world
has gotten onto automobiles and
run away from the proposition
now a forlorn hope.

PLAYING FOR RUTH
There have been many surpril

There have been many surpris
es IN base ball this season but
none quite so startling as that
Babe Ruth had yielded to another

he had been suspended and fined
in the second place. For days

and at last the break came. Game
after game was lost and there was
nothing else to do The word was
sent forth early in the season that
he was i'll and later Manager
Higgins said that he had been
drinking. A fine Of $4,000 was i'm
posed and suspension followed.
All this took place after his bat

The result probably means that
Ruth viii star no more. He has
lost his money, position and sup
port. 1t will be difficult to get up

VICTIM PAYS THE FREIGHT

"A quintet Oh merry EO9StSIcIs III
New York on Sunday morning
compelled a milkman to drive to a
police station. Then they amused
themselves hurting quart bottles
of milk through the window. OF
course they were locked up, char
ged with being intoxicated, dis
turbing the peace and malicious
destruction Of property.
What about the milkman? Who
paid him for the milk destroyed?
Two young bandits, taken to
Council Bluffs for trial, confessed
they had, among other crimes,
stolen an automobile in Omaha.
This they drove to a hog ranch on
the river bank, stripped it of it's
tires and abandoned it. The law
will take cOgnizance of this crime
by sending its perpetrators to
prison.
Who will compensate the owner
for the damage to his car?
Why should the victim of such
crimes always pay the freight?
Society is only partly protected
by imprisoning the culprit. Moses
provided for restitution and com
pensation. If Jew took the OK
of another he was required to pay
two oxen. If he took a sheep he
had to return four. We could
quote other laws of Moses as af-
fording basis for present. day stat
utes. Why not law that COM
PEELED restitution?
| Make the drunken rowdies pay
for the milk they wasted Make
the young toughs pay not only for
the automobile tires they stole,
but for the damages to the car,
and compensation to it's owner for
the time he was deprived Of the
use of it. Apply this rule to all
crimes against person or property,
and much of the thrill" will be
removed from crime.
When the criminal has to work
to repay the victim Of his crime
he viii probably hesitate before
going into crime. 1t will be more
profitable to work for himself. A
crown awaits the lawmaker who
will get the law of Moses in this
respect back on the statute books.
