KANSAS GOVERNOR SINGS
SWAN SONG

Jonathan NJ Davis has retired
from the state house in Kansas and
sung his swan song. The closing
days Of his administration were
full Of disagreements, disgust and
disgrace. The first radical step,
a blunder, was the attempt on the
part Of Davis to remove DIR. Ern-
est TT. Lindley as chancellor of
the University Of Kansas. The
whole affair was raw politics. For
such a procedure to be tolerated
would threaten the democratic
educational systems of this coun-
try. The step Davis took not only
concerned the Sun Flower state
but the whole nation.

That Fight to Rename a Mount
ain


In the Baraboo News of recent
date appeared a communication
from Olaf Bull urging that the
name Tacoma be restored to Mt.
Rainier. The Chicago Daily News
published the following editorial
relative to the effort;
After three unsuccessful attempts
in thirty-four years to induce the
United States geographical board
to change the name Of Mt. Rainier
to Mount Tacoma, the good people
of the city of Tacoma have appeal
ed to congress in q resolution,
which was passed by the senate
last April and is expected to be
voted on by the house this month.
According to official reports only
the people of Tacoma favor the
change Residents of other parts
Of the state of Washington are op-
posed to it. Indeed the citizens of
Olympia, the capital, accuse Ia
coma of conducting a campaign of
Misrepresentation and Of feeding
misinformation to the newspapers
of the country in an effort to in
duce them to advocate the change.
Tacoma bases its request on two
principal arguments, one OF which
it that Tacoma" is the aboriginal
Indian name, and the other that
Rainier, for whom the mountain
was named was person Of no con-
sequence and an enemy Of the
United States. The report Of the
geographic board disproves the
first of those assertions and salts

ONE DIRT FARMER" SPEAKS
-0IT

In congress much IS said about
the necessity of consulting the
"dirt farmer" but at congression-
al committee hearings that hard
working, practical citizen hardly
ever appears. Nor is he n frequent
contributor to the magazines in
which his problems are theoreti-
cally and dogmaticallly discussed.
But in a recent issue Of the Allan
tic Monthly a real farmer speaks
his mind, and his tranchant re-
marks deserve attention from con-
gress1nen and others who are in
terested in the agricultural situa-
ton and desire to devise effective
remedies for farm life.
The contributor of the article is
farmer in southeastern Wilson,
sin and a former soldier. He stock
ed and equipped a 240 acre farm
in 1919, was hard hit by the fol
lowing depression and lost much
money, and would welcome ration
al suggestions for the future. He
has not found any as yet in the
political speeches and articles
that have come to his notice.
He has little sympathy with
sweeping indictments Of packers
and other middlemen and says that
the farmers fco-operatives have
caused many farmers to realize
that distribution Of farm products
is expensive at the best. He COM
plains of the multiplicity of coun-
ty agents, would-be instructors and

OLLAPODRIDA
Shall We Keep Sank County's
Beauty Spots for Sank County
PeOnIa


There is a wireless" floating
around to the effect that move
ment has been started to keep the
small scenic beauty spots Of Sank
county from being turned into
camping grounds or desecrated by
those who do not have natural love
and pride enough to look upon their
beauty without picking the flowers,
digging the plants or marring the
shrubs and small trees.
We hope that sufficient interest
may be created to promote a
scheme by which Durwood's Glen,
Parfrey's Glen, Pine Hollow, Skill
let Creek Falls, Sumpter's Natural
Bridge and many others may be
protected from the marauder and
kept for the use of the residents OF
the county for picnic parties, or
any social function among the
home people. The land where
their beauty spots are located is
not very valuable, so the initial
cost should not be great, and the
results would be greatly to the
honor and credit of the promoters
and give the home folks the pleas
ure Of having a delightful place to
go and spend the day with families
and friends away from the con-
tested conditions at our large re-
sorts.

In a second-story workship at 1915
Fl street northwest w. Scott Herman
is rounding out 80 years of work as a
maker of fine violins and as repair
er of the finest instruments of the
violin family ever made.
He was for years the keeper of the
famous Particle collection of Stradi-
NariuS violins and loves the instru-
ments with which he works as well as
the artists themselves.
He contides modestly that he has
done all sorts of repair work on the
finest of instruments, some of which
are valued at $50, 900 or SAC. 1000. I've
worked on the instruments of all the
great master fiddle makers, such as
Stradivarius, Guarnerius, Amati,
klotz, Stainer, Guadagnini and Gull
laume. They are the greatest and
they were the leaders in their particu-
lar schools of violin making. OF
course. the 'Strads' are best known
and are probably the finest"
He Loves His Work.
He says he loves his work. Scat
tered about his workship, the haunt
of scores of musicians of the city, are
pieces of fine woods used in violin
making Some of the wood there is
800 years old. kept that length of
time for seasoning. EIe says however,
that he doesn't like the wood to be
more than $50 years old. 1T goes

half" he says.
Day after day. and oftentimes at
night, he is at his workbench work
ing the dry, thin strips of finely sea
soned wood into tiddles as fine as he
can make them. Into the working of
that wood goes precision down to the
tiniest fraction of an inch.

In the curves and clefts of the wood

The greatest players themselves

But he says he is a great lover of
music. He talks endlessly of the
ments of the violin family. He loves
the viola. In fact he loves them ALL
the cello, the bass viol and the contra
bass. But it is the violin of which
he is fondest. He has a collection of
fine old instruments. none of which are
less than hundred years old and all
of which he keeps in the best con.
dition.
He rather dislikes jazz. too. That's
the reason for d lot of the palpita-
