Public Drinking dps Abolished
The public drinking cup was abolish
ed in all schools, parks, hotels, drinking
fountains and trains, in Wisconsin,
Sept. 1, in conformity to an order is
sued by the state board of health. The
legislature two yearH ago enacted a law
pronouncing the public drinking cup un
sanitary, and the board of health prom
ises to rigidly enforce the law. All
railway trains running through the
state must take up all cups during the
time.
The result of the law will make it
necessary to carry individual cups and
in some cities special drinking fountains
are being arranged from which drink
ing is sanitary and safe. These drink
ing fountains consist of a bubbling
overflow with a small column of water
rising from the center for quenching
the thirst.

OBSERVER'S FUN AND SENTIMENT
Some Pleasant Catches That are Ex*
presaive
In the good old times a man was
a Republican or Democrat with a very
few exceptions. At present he is a
“stalwart” or a halt-breed;” a “pro
gressive”or a “conservative,” a“county
option” advocate or “anti;” “good
government or “run her wide open;”
and some of them seem to be a cross
between a pair or overalls and an army
blanket.—Ex.
A young man can always make him
self solid on his job by cheerfully doing
what his employer wants him to,
whether he thirks it best or not. He
isn’t putting up the money or shoulder
ing the responsibility. The man who
is responsible must have a free hand to
work out his own plans. So never he
a bullhead or grouch with the man who
gives you a job. Work to his plans
and do your best to make them win
and do it most cheerfully. When you
can’t do that, quit your job.
What the harvest shall be will de
pend mainly on what we plant and sow.
The voice of duty is never still. It
whispers to us morning, noon and
night; it reaches us from the roar of
the wild tempest, the sigh of the sum
mer winds, the soft, gentle murmer of
the wayside brook. That still small
voice will not be hushed.
What volumes our faces say! Some
speak of love and kindness, some of
anger and hatred, others of pride and
rebellion, and others still of selfishness.
We can’t help our faces talking, but
we can make them say pleasant things;
and all should try to have them do so.
Next to the wife beater comes the
horse beater and it is to be regretted
we have one or two in this community.
A horse is the most noble and faithful
of animals and the man who would
abuse his horse has something lacking
in his manhood.
If we look only for crooked trees in
the timber, we will find plenty of them
but we will pass by many straight,
beautiful trees and never notice them.
So, to, if we look only for blemishes in
the character of others, we will find
them; but we may not notice the many
good qualities that they possess.

Slid or Wrilien to the Censor
I’. J. Layne, San Diego, California:
“I am sure that you, and perhaps
other old friends in Wisconsin will be
interested to know that at a recent
primary election I received the republi
can nomination for a third term, as
public administrator of San Diego
county. In my case it is equivalent to
an election, as no other party has a
candidate for office in the field. As
official terms here are four years, this
means twelve continuous years for me,
and 1 am fully resolved that it shall
close my office-seeking career. I have
; had many favors at the hands of the
people in dear old Vernon, and here as
well, and 1 feel that this latest ex
pression of the confidence and esteem
of the publir is good to retire on.
Though the “Insurgent” or ‘ I.incoln-
Roosevelt" movement has carried our
state, I have not be_n classified as
such, but have chosen rather to be
known as a “regular.” I have loved
the old party from boyhood and have
never felt called upon to “insurge”
against it. 1 believe less destructive
means may bo employed to remedy am
ends growing up within the party. I
must say 1 have admired your position,
in the Censor, on political and public
! questions, and am sure that it goes far
ito hold the old Badger state within
; rational lines.’’
William Cox: “I am just from the
land where everything is speculative,
i the state of Oregon, with headquarters
lin the suburbs of Portland I have
| been dealing in real estate ana have
made good in the work. 1 am pleased
to be back home if for but a few
months, expecting to pass the winter in
Florida. I can say with all truthful
j ness that there is no grander spot on
j earth, and I have traveled in many
| states, than Vernon County I have
seen more greenness and bright foliage
; siice my return than in toe whole
I three years of my sojourn in the west.
For farmers and the ordinary citizen
Wisconsin has as much of merit to offer
as any other place, and then some to
spare. I am glad to be home again
among old neighbors and friends.”

reported to have been one of the most
largely attended gatherings that village
has known.
The La Crosse papers of Thursday
report that Oscar Galstad, of Westby,
was badly injured in that city the nigh
previous. He was a vict : of a Burt
lington train, which crus! ] his left
foot and tore the heel from his right

by the train. Galstad was taken to
the Lutheran hospital for medical at
tention.
A Sauk county farmer was taken to
the county seat and fined five dollars
for neglecting to send his son to school
the required number of days the past
year. The man plead guilty to the
offense. There is entirely too much of
this neglect going on in nearly every
town, city and village in the state, and
truan*- .Ticers should be given a hunch
♦ v ._ their duty is clear. The countrv
at large can have no greater favor be
stowed upon it than to know that
every boy and girl is given requite
schooling to fit them for the duties of
good and useful citizens.
“Full to the limit,” is the statement
that goes out from the La Crosse nor
mal school, opening with an enrollment
of 301, or 120 greater than at last
year’s opening. This new school fur

nearby educational facilities they have
never before been able to enjoy.”
