Finland won 166 points, while

won only So IL points.
These figures are brought to
mind again by the results of the
debating tour conducted in this
country by teams from Oxford and
Cambridge. In their meetings
with the debating teams of Amerf-
can colleges and universities, the
visitors proposed Prohibition and
the League of Nations as their faY-
orite subjects. Though judges pre-
sided the verdicts in most instanc-
es were directed by the vote Of the
audiences. Here are some colleg-
late lyerdicts on prohibition:
At the University of Michigan
the audience decided that the
Michigan debaters had worsted the
Britishers, the vote being 1,247 to
$50. At the University of Mime
sofa the vote was 1,348 for the
prohibition defenders, to 493
against. At the University OF Gin
cinnati the vote was LILA to 698
against. At Coe College, 437 for
to IS against. At Hillsdale College
432 for to So against. At the Uni
versity of Kansas the vote was
four to one for prohibition.
1t would seem that prohibition is
capable of producing equally good
records on the athletic field and the
debating platform. Dearborn

TO CROSS WITH DIGNITY

A national committee which
takes as its task the study Of the
pedestrian problem in relation to
vehicu1ar traffic seems to have got
the thing down to a suitable form
ula. 1t prescribes that the pedes-
rians shall be afforded a safe
and dignifed" crossing.
This certainly touches the spot,
for one of the causes of abiding bit
terness in the heart of the pedes-
trian is the hop. skip, and jump
with which he has to pile himself
across a street or avoid cars MAX
ing corner turn or merely to es-
cape the ordinary perils of straight
way traffic.
The sudden start, and momen-
tary alarm! the grand rush of ig-
nominy towards the sidewalks
when the signal changes with the
pedestrians scattered along the
crossing; all these things and more
the pedestrian sees personified in
the motor vehicle and its driver.
That word "dignified" is good.
The pedestrian must not go to
sleep on the crossing, but at least
he should be permitted a safe and
dignifed progress-Detroit News.

Wrong Court

The following clipping from the
New York World was submitted by
one of our subscribers:
The New Bedford cotton mills
have followed those of Fall River
in reducing wages 10 per cent. This
reduction is now quite general for
all of the cotton mills of New Eng
land, and the textile unions are to
take a strike vote on the subject
They say that with an accompany
ing increase of work per operative
the actual reduction amounts to
221a per cent.
A strike would seem to be ap-
'pealing to the wrong court or one
impossible of affording any relief.
Employees have been suffering from
too little work, and striking would
make them suffer from no work at
all. And that is possibly just
what the mill men would not mind
at all for a while. Rather, the
workers appeal should be to the
Republican leaders of the section
and the mill men who are respon-
sible for the Fordney-McCumber
highest tariff ever protection Sc
cured first of all in half of high
American-standard wages.
Here was an implied promise
that wages might be increased
with the tariff and certainly that
they would not be reduced. Here
was a virtual contract to this eff
feet, and the textile operatives
seem to have voted in the late cleo
ton on the strength of that faith
being kept. But now the promise
has been broken and the obligation
of the contract impaired. Proceed
ings of quo warranto nature, car
ried straight into the court of high
tariff Republican politics, would
seem to be better course for the
operatives than to strike.

NEWSPAPER Is BEST MED
Tim

When business men and mer-
chants bite on all kinds of trick
schemes and fake advertising prop
ositions, they shouldn't put the
blame of failure to get results on
the newspaper. We have some glar-
ing examples of foolish advertis-
ing expenditure here as well as
most other towns, because good
salemen have put it over" in a
hurry and got away with it.
We believe in other forms of ad-
vertising other than straight news
paper advertising, but there is evi-
dence of the best business men
in this country that no other kind
equals or produces as sure results
as the newspapers.
Take for instance your newspap-
er as an advertising medium. It
goes direct to the people of your
vicinity. Right in the homes or
places of business, beside comfort
able fires, in relaxation, when time
can be had by the reader to look
over everything in the paper and
weigh and consider it all-there
is advertising value in this SER
vice.
At the low rate charged for news
paper advertising by all papers,
there is nothing in signs, moving
placards, screens, or anything else
that gets the people like advertis
ing in the papers.
Readers are protected in giving
their confidence to such advertis-
ing by the fact that you will not
publish, knowingly, any fake ad
vertising at any price. "The

These visitors are the ones who
marched away to fight when, not
only the most of Europe was in
danger of being conquered by Ger
many but America was threatened
by the Kaiser's forces. Had Ger
many conquered her neighbors she
would have demanded that America
pay for the war. When France was
weary with the conflict, when Eng
lands back was to the wall, the
American army took its place at
the front and the tide turned. Am
erican soldiers were true heroes.
they met the enemy with fire and
bayonet, gaining victory at every
step. It was a true test of patrio,
tism; it was a great adventure.
NOW, these veterans have come
to Baraboo to renew friendships;
to recall war experiences, to carry
on the work of the order, and to
strengthen the bond that unites the
members of the organization. They
deserve every recognition, every
favor, every courtesy. Baraboo
welcomes them. May their visit be
one of pleasure and profit. Bara-

their presence.

DISARMAMENT

The French government claims
TO have information to the effect
that the Germans have invented a
new kind OF war gas SO deadly that
a small quantity of it will kill the
populations OF large cities.
il has been known for years that
it is possible to develop such gases.
The American government itself
has the formula for some sort of a
gas which is as deadly as that
which is described. The Germans
are proficient in research. There is
no reason to believe that they
would be unable to invent such
means OF destruction.
This is illustrative of the impos-
sibility of stopping war by mere
disarmament.
The manufacture of chemicals
can be accomplished in such a way
as to defy detection of wrong in
tent or plans for war. Perhaps very
little equipment is needed. I E
The world needs to resort to
something else than physical dis
armament to bring peace. Mental

THE CONQUEST lOF HAPPI
NESS

"The duty of mankind is to
seek happiness and enjoy it." de-
clares Dr. Jules Payot. Doctor
Payot goes further and gives in
structions as how true and last
ing happiness may be attained.
The nine conditions Of happiness.
set forth by Doctor Payot, are
Health, Work, the Conquest of Nor
al Liberty, Society, Money, Power,
the Family, Love of Nature, In
teHectual Culture, and he gives
specific directions as to how to
win happiness by conforming to
these conditions. His headings are
subdivided and each subdivision
contains workable rules for the
careful reader who would be hap
ny. The closing paragraph of Doc
tor Payot's Conclusion reads:
Base subservience to money,
ambition and vanity, renders hap
piness impossible. 1t can be found
only in the mind, and in the ener-
gy and effort to purify that mind
To be happy, it is essential and il
is sufficient to be a man in the full
and sincere meaning of the word
The whole of life and happiness is
nothing but a continuous educa
ton of oneself by oneself.
