AS
OF
MADISON', Wis., Dpc. 5. To

quor, poorly lighted parks ntnl lack
of public amusement and recreation
facilities, the automobile was held ns
one of the greatest contributory
cnuses of commercialized vice in n

committee. The report was the work
of fifteen mouths' investigation and
proposes radical changes in law en

WHY
FOLLOW I NU the suot'osst'ul nnd plonsing romlitiou of
Swedish folk gmuoK in native costuini's by tho pupils
of the Roosevelt school, the Mail Tribune suggests that the
other schools of the city be drilled in the folk games of
other nations and that the combined schools present the
folk games of the nations as an annual feature of Bed
ford s rose and flower show at the close of the school year.
The folk games have an undoubted educational value
for the children, physically and artistically, familiarizing
them with the primitive melodies, pastimes and dress of
the various lands from which the composite, we call Amer
ican, traces descent, and constitute a welcome break in the
monotony of school drudgery for the pupils.
There are nations enough to furnish an unending vari
ety of folk games, folk melodies and folk lore for an indefi
nite number of schools for an indefinite number of years.
Such an annual production would be of great benefit 'to the
pupils, to the general public and to the city itself, drawing
people from all parts of the state to witness a most unique
production a folk lore festival of children.
NEW YORK'S GREAT INDUSTRY
WHENEVER news is dull in Xew York the newspa
pers attack William Jennings Jiryan. lie has been
a shining target for nearly twenty years and has thriven
exceedingly thereby. In fact, the principal reliable, lean
year and fat year iudustry of the metropolitan press has
been assailing the great commoner.
Every idea championed by Air. Bryan litis in turn been
derided, ridiculed and lampooned. Although many of the
theories championed by lirynn, such as tariff reduction,
initiative and referendum, direct primaries, trust-busting,
currency reform and prohibition have become actualities,
and others, such as government ownership, are receiving
respectful attention, care is taken to withhold credit from
the .Nebraskan.
Bryan's virtues are written upon the sands for Xew
Yorkers. Ilis faults are electric sign boards. The great
part he has played in forming public opinion, his work for
political and social reforms, his crowning achievement iu
peace treaties with all the great nations of the world, are
all too little for the provincial minds of Gotham to grasp
alongside of a grape juice dinner or a Chautauqua lecture.
As the presidential election nears, there is a recru
descence of anti-Bryanism in Xew York. The World, the
Herald, the American and other democratic papers, along
with the republican press, are assailing the secretary of
state on any old excuse to force him out and to discredit
him, the latest being that he does not spend all of his time
looking alter the government s business while if one
tenth of what is charged is true, the more he is absent the
better it will be for the nation.
There seems no reason for complaint regarding the
handling of the state department. It has kept the nation
out of war, at any rate, which is more than European dip
lomacy accomplished at home. It has efficiently handled
the interests or belligerents all over tiie world. It has led
the relief work in stricken nations. It has made diplomacy
a useful instead of a purely ornamental occupation. Where
is the neglect?
The truth is that Wall street and the predatory trusts
fear Bryan as a candidate in 1916 and are leaving no stones
unturned to shy at his head and drive him out of the list of
possibilities.
Tropical Plants for Indoor Winter Garden
(Bulletin U. S. Department or Agri
culture.) With a little care, a number of
tropical plants may be grown indoors
and during tho winter they nre u par
ticularly attractive uddjtion to a bay
window or conservatory gulden. Var
ious kinds of palms, rubber plants,
oleanders, aspidistras nnd cacti are
easily kept in good condition indoors
if given the proper attention nnd not
permitted to bo exposed to. frost, ac
cording to the department of agri
culture's horticulturists.
Palms. Palms arc much used for
interior decorations where there is no
direct, sunlight. Regular watering is
essential, with especial care not to
overwntqr. It is better with most
pahns to keep them a, little dry than
too wet. Where a pot is in u jaidin
iero especial euro must be oxen-Wed
not to have them too wet.
While small, wash the foliage oc
cosionally with soap suds made from
n good soap. Immediately follow with
a thorough rinsing. When too huge
for this, spray tho tops frequently
with clear w'ulcr.
Drowning nt the tips usually conic
from trouble nt the roots first,
ovtinvalering; second, worms on the
roots; third, laek of plant food. The
ill-pit is the trouble in nearly every
case. The worm that gave the trou
ble is not tho oidinary catlh worm,
but n little white harmless looking
creature that emerges into the air as
n. small fly. Dissolve a piece of
quicklime as big as u teacup in three
gallons of water. After it is through
sputtering and tie milky mixture has
cleared, pour of, the clear pint and
souk your soil with it, Do not dilute,
for the soaking should he thorough.
To provide plant food, stir small
quantities of bono meal and wrfod
ashes into the surface or in place' of
ordinary watering occasionally use

Three Views of Europe's Great War From
(Speech by Uavlil l.lod-ioorge.)
This Is n terrible win-. It Is a hor
rtblu war. All wars are horrible.
Who Is responsible? Not Oreat lhl
tatu. Urltnlu was only armed for
defense. Had wo meditated n war of
aggression ngalnt anybody, do ou
think wo idioutd huvu to Improvise an
army after tho war bc-Rim? Wo were
not equipped for a wnr of aggression;
not even against a military Power of
the third rank. Wo weio prepared
for detour against all the military
Powers of tho world put together. Wo
hud no army for Continental warfare.
Did the poor victims of tho bird
of prey commence hostilities? l.ook
back and sec what happened. You
can see Austria hovering like a hawk
over the llnlkau fields, and, It jou arc
country-bred, jou know what thnt
menus. You know It will not be long
before It swoops down and some
poor helpless creature will ho quiver
ing In Its talons. The vulture has
been hanging over Helglum for some
time. We know that now. It soared
sjo that high that even the most dis
cerning falcon might have made n
mistake. It thought It wns pouncing
on a rabbit, and It fell on a hedgehog
and hns been bleeding and sore ever
since. Wo know now, what It would
have been malevolent to suspect be
fore, that the counsellors of Germany,
whilst professing peace and pretend
ing good will, In cold blood, with ma
lic aforethought, had intended,
plnnncd, organized wholesale tho niur
der of peaceable neighbors, had even
nrranged the date to suit themselves,
a date when they thought their neigh
bors would be (pittc unprepared to
defend their 1 1 von nnd their homes.
If this wanton deed of premeditated
treachery against humanity Is to. pass
unchallenged by the nations of the
world, then lei us admit that civil!
latlon Is a failure, that the sceptre
of right Is broken, and that force,
force, brute foice. Is once more en
thioned amongst tho nations.
If llrttain after passing hor word
had left that little country (Hel
glum) bleeding on the roadside with
out attempting to rescue her, thu In
famy of 'Gcni.any would bo shared
by tho Hrltlsh Kmplrc.
We have been assailed by nnotber
national exponent of the higher cul
ture Turko. I notice tho same
characteristics, the same contempt
for the elements, for I lie decencies
of international war. We did our
best to avoid a quarrel. No one
could hav shown more putlonco In
tho face of Insults a,ml lujurles that
I could detail to .ton by tho hour.

temptible Kmplrc on the Ilosphorus.
Hut the quarrel has been taken out
of our hands. We were In thu hands
of fate, and tho hour has struck on
tho great clock of destiny for settling
accounts with the Turk. Tho Turk
is the greatest enemy of his own
faith bocauso he liun discredited II by
inlsgovernmont. What havo tho
Turks contributed either to culture,
to art, or to any espect of human pro
gress than you can think of? They
aro a human cancer, a creeping agony
In the flesh of the lands which they
misgoverned, and rotting every fibre
of life. And now (hut tho great day
of reckoning hns come upon tho
nation I am glad. I am glad tho
Turk Is to bo culled to a final ac
count for his long record of Infamy
against humanity in this gigantic bat
tie between right and wrong. It is
meet that the Turks should march
Into action shoulder to shoulder with
tho devastator of Helglum. Thoy have
