That Lenroot Win Be Candidate
Held Certain.

Washington Senator Irvine L..
Lenroot will be a candidate in the
1926 Republican primaries in Wis
consin to succeed himself in the
United States senate.
Lenroot has made no formal an
nouncement. He will make none
for some time to come, but his hat
IS in the ring. The senator has in
formed close friends that he will
make the race unless the condition Of
Mrs. Lenroot. who has been ill,
should prevent him from absenting
himself TO participate in an active
campaign.
If the fact that Senator Lenroot
had decided to be a candidate was
not accepted when the Badger solon
went to St Paul as the presidents
personal guest, and prominently ex-
hibited himself with Mr.. Coolidge on
the rear platform Of the special train
as 1t sped through Wisconsin, 1t has
been abundantly confirmed by the
senator's comments on the trip. To
add to the overwhelming evidence
Lenroot's mind is settled on enter
ing the campaign, it is learned that
the senator is contemplating an early
speaking tour which will carry him
to every corner of the state.
II think the president must have
been convinced by what he saw and
heard, Senator Lenroot commented
on the presidents trip to St Paul.

Officers take oath that they win
enforce the law. If they willfully
neglect to enforce it, they deserve
removal from office, but all too often
they are unjustly accused Of wink
ing" at violations.
The greatest problem they have is
the Illicit liquor traffic Though an
officer may be zealously attempting
to bring to book those who are sell
ing booze, he is surrounded by bar
riers that are insurmountable.
The man who sells it uses extra
ordinary precautions and the man
who buys it is silent as a sphinx or
deliberately lies when brought be-
fore the court for public intoxication
and is asked the customary ques-
ton, where did you buy it?"
The third element in the puzzling
situation that exists in every com
munity is the so-called good citizen,
who complains about the illegal sale
Of liquor, but would not himself do
anything to punish the transgress-
ors, if he would endanger his posi-
ton in any way.
So don't be too hard on the officer
Of the law If he had the hearty
support Of the drinker when he
repents and the law-abiding citizen
who rants but never re-enforces his
words with action, those sworn to
enforce the law might be able to
accomplish something -Ex.

Hurley Defeats
iron Mountain
Visitors Outclassed and Locals Win
10 to /; Hurley Sluggers Too
Much for Humber.

The Hurley baseball team got
sweet revenge by trouncing Iron
Mountain to the tune Of 10 to last
Sunday in a game played before the
largest crowd of the season at the
local park The Ford city nine
copied the first game of the season
with Hurley 2 to L.
Fans who expected that Phil
Hoffman, now pitching for Iron
Mountain, would be seen in action
against his former teammates in this
game were disappointed The Iron
Mountain manager elected to let
Humber do the heaying for his nine.
Hoffman was kept on the bench all
through the game, with the exception
of the last act, when he was sent in
as a pinch hitter.
The Hurley sluggers were in good
form and pounded the visiting slab
artist for total Of IL safe ones.
Three home runs and four two
baggers, together with sacrifice hits
and singles, were garnered off
Numbers delivery.
On the other hand Lefty" Hoeft
was at his best and allowed but five
hits. The visitors were held score
less until the eighth inning, when
they slammed out couple of hits
and got one man around.
The Iron Mountain aggregation
did not show the good baseball that
was expected, hence the game was
pretty much one-sided.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

If investigation were made of the
complete history of outstanding
business successes in the United
States today we would find, no
doubt, that in each case the start
was made in the practices of thrift
by some individual.
First small amounts were saved,
and, as the earning capacity of the
individual increased aided by the
earnings Of his savings, he was able
to build up his resources until in time
they reached large proportions.
This is one of the best lessons to
learn from thrift.
There are never any doubts as to
the results that come from its
practices.
From the smallest bank account,
like the acorn, will grow the giant
oak of substantial accumulations.
Those who do not save or who
think they cannot are not honest with
themselves, They are unwilling to
make sacrifices Their viewpoint
is incorrect
Upon ones ability to find ways Of
saving money depends largely ones
chances of success in life.
This is a phase of the matter that
should be given the deepest con-
sideration.
If you cannot save money out of
your present income, you lack the
quality of success.
For success in life is, after all,
much matter of will power.
Also remember that those who are
not sufficiently interested in their
own welfare to lay by a certain por-
ton Of their earnings, no matter
how small they may be. do not care
enough about real success ever to
achieve any substantial place in the
affairs of men.
Before there can be success there
must be desire to succeed, and this
desire must be so deep that it over
comes every barrier.

Ten years ago William A. Had

PHILOSOPHY
BY Uncle bud.

Uncle bud Says: THE average
man is better looking than his
picture but you cant say the same
Of the fair sex What we term
stinginess in other people is wise
economy when applied to ourselves"
A man may be put to sleep by
pair of dreamy eyes-and wake up
with a pair of black ones.
People could all do wonderful
things if their will was in the same
class with their imagination.
Our idea of tragedy is for a
flapper to be caught out in the
country without her vanity case
1t is nice for colleges to teach
everything, but it does not license
graduates to think they know every
thing.
The fellow who is constantly
fishing for compliments quite of
ten gets caught on the snag of
criticism.
Many a man gets a reputation
for brightness when it is only the
reflection from the brilliance of
his favorite author
Nothing takes the joy out of
life so much as to get ready to
shave and find that you haven't
decent blade in the house.
Doing business without adver-
Using is like following a blind al
ley You may keep going for a
time but you'll never get any
where.
A Mrs. Spiegelsdoerferka has
applied for divorce and wants her
maiden name restored. The judge
is sure a hard-hearted wretch if he
fails to grant her petition.
Some men get a reputation for
wisdom by keeping their mouths
shut; but a lot more are classed in
the other division because they
persist in keeping theirs open.
Remembering that the law of
physical life is IAN opposite and
equal reaction for every action.
we should weep at our joys and
laugh at our sorrows-because
the future will soon be present
and the present will soon be past"
1t isn't the thing you chew, my
lad,
It's the thing you bolt unchawn
That makes your stomach fighting
mad
Along towards the dawn.
There had been big fire and
the only person who escaped from
the burned building was an old col
ored fellow. Upon being queried
by a reporter as to how he man
aged to escape, he replied "Ah
don't know, boss. But when All
saw dem flames ies a hckin' up all
de fuhnieha an things, NAH blood
done turned to watah an All jes
nacherly oozed out"
You can't satisfy the world. If
you are old and believe in spread
ing sunshine you are a weak-mind-
ed cake-eater; if you keep your
eye on business you are a darned
old crouch If you are young and
try to kick up your heels little.
YOU are young devil; if you
behave yourself and trot along
modestly you are spineless jelly
fish. If you run paper and print
all the news. you are a scandal
monger: if you don't, you are
a cowardly poltroon who allows
the business office to edit the paper.
