Fl0urishing Banks
Smell Pr0SneritY.

This issue of the Herald contains
the published statements of our two
home banks, showing combined assets
of nearly two millions of dollars. This
is an excellent showing. 1t puts us
back in the way of assets about where
we were with the four banks. We
have every reason to believe that the
two Lancaster banks are sound and
we'll managed and in good shape to
take care of the legitimate banking
needs of the community. In broad
sense the Potosi community locks up
with the Lancaster community and
the bank there has assets of almost
100000. This is an excellent show
ing also Bank condition is a pretty
good index of community prosperity
and the Herald's forecast of better
times locally is based considerably on
the showing made by the banks in
their statements

The regular monthly meeting of the
School Board was held Wednesday
night at the high school. ALI members
were present except Frank Bidwell.
The principal business of the evening
was the selection and purchase of
lockers for the new high school build
ing. Bids were opened from number
of firms and representatives from two

ployed to assist in the office work al

The current bills were considered
and allowed. The meeting was adj

rection of Mr.. Miles, but the students
will not be able to receive individual

Bob as University Head.

The Herald has it creditably that
Sen. La Toilette is being considered
as president of the University of Wis
consin, succeeding Pres. Berge, who
retires soon on account of age and i'll
health Mr. La Toilette is 70 compared
to Berge's "A.
The report is that Mr.. La Toilette
wants the post to round out his career.
1t pays $4,000 per annum including
a heated residence.
University Profs. who signed mid
war round-robin denouncing our SEN
ior senator, may find themselves in
an embarrassing position. The logical
implication in case La Toilette heads
the school would be wholesale
designations. However, the best course
would be to forgive and forget.
The Herald never favored the step
taken by the university faculty. But
war was on and hysteria was at its
height. Under the circumstances, even
staid pedagogs became heated. We
were all a little mad then, one way
or the other.
Just whether or not university pol
icies controlling Wisconsin as a whole
are beneficial is open to debate. How
ever that may be we think the selec-
ton of La Toilette to head the school
would be regarded favorably in most
quarters.

No Virtue in Names.


newspaper circles hold opposite po-
litical beliefs and some that side with
us we like a good deal less. That's the
irony of life and the best way is to
respect the other mans sincerity and
hold his good will and friendship re-
CARELESS of differences.
Therefore we sound word of adj
vice to those on the other side. 1t is
this: There is no virtue in names or
symbols.
A man may call himself Progress
sive and be the worst react1onary
possible And considering himself
conservative another man may be an
advanced public benefactor. For in
stance, those who are still carrying
the battle to invested capital are fight
ing windmills The vortex of political
thought and pressure no longer cir
culate around the symbols it did a
generation ago.
Today the problem is to develop
courage and citizenship in the average
individual. To get him to fight for law
and order. To curb or eliminate preda-
tory criminal groups which are far
more of a menace and far more SIMS
ter and brutal than capital ever dared
be. To instill confidence and the sense
of fair play in all classes so that all
may go ahead in prosperity, the gov
eminent acting only as umpire.
IS years ago the symbol of sinister
influence was the slave holding power.
40 years ago it was the railroads. ~
years ago it was the money power.
Today we have battles to fight but they
are not against finance. The battle to-
day is against control of our political
and judiciary machinery by criminal
and bureaucratic groups who would
take away our liberties And the battle
goes on.
