What I has the Bible to do with the monkey law or with the constitution? Has Mr. Bryan forgotten these lines: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press." Mr.

Bryan would have to take that out of the constitution to make room for Jonah and the whale, a3 part of the law of the land. To put into the constitution the Bible, the Koran, the Talmud Mrs. Eddy'a "Science and Health," or Maimonide's "guide to the Perplexed" was not the original American idea. rules for men on earth is one A sacred book expressing views of certain people on religions, is an other thing. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and signed it, and Mr.

Bryan often quotes him with approval. Jefferson, as secretary of state, writing to a Mohammedan ruler, told him he need have no hesitation about dealing1 with the United States, because this nation, officially, has no religion. And that message of Jefferson's was used in recent times in jiego-tiations between this government and the Sultan of Sulu.

WAvIr Aftaii Vnti4n Vi I iiW n.li a contract has been signed or not The sub-committe of six reported this decision at a meeting today in advance of the coming of actual negotiations set for late this afternoon.

No official announcement was made, but it was learned from the president of the miners' union that objections to the proposals was gased on two grounds: first, the miners were said to feel that with seven weeks until September 1, there was still plenty of time to reach an agreement if one were proposed, and second, that the miners frowned on arbitration in the belief that operators would try to make it the sub ject for the present negotiations. Having heard a denunciation of arbitration by John Y. Lewis, a con ference of representatives of the United Mine Workers and the mine owners referred the union demands to the sub-committee which meets today. The operators object strenuously to the "miners" demand for a 10, per cent wage increase for contract men and fl per day for daf men, and the retention of the check- the collection of mine union dues by the operators for the union. They express "wonder and amazement at the terms." John L.

Now is the time for young people to take y.P farming, according to W. A. Henry, former Wisconsin dean who practically built the entire foundation of agri cultural education at the University of Wisconsin. Mr. Henry is now living in Florida.

"I am firm in the opinion that better times are not far off and that now is the opportune 'time for such young men as really love the soil and wish to be fanners to push riirht ahead," he declared. "Popu lation is increasing while about all the land in the United States suitable for crop production is occupied and in use. Let us not forget that startling fact. The future farmer will continue to work more hours than the factory employee, but he will live a far more happy life in that freedom which conies only to those who will till the soil. Agri culture is, and must continue to be, the great basic vocation of tho people.

To those who really care nothing for the farm except tne money returns it brings, I would suggest a change to the city."

H. 13 from Friendship to the junction point with 73, and this summer will see the completion of all bridges and culverts. nr I There is available for work on the new routes of Highways 73 and 13 in Wood county south and east of Wisconsin Rapids a total of $150,400, which it is believed wiil be sufficient to complete the grading and the application of a high type of gravel surface between Wisconsin Rapids and the southeast county line on road 73 and between Nekoosa and the south county line on 13. This money, the expenditure of which for this purpose has been.

authorized by the state highway commission, and approved by the county committee, consists entirely of state and federal aid funds, there bing $50,700 of old funds, $69,700 estimated al-lottment under the new highway bill, and $30,000 in free funds. Construction of these roads, which will be pushed to completion in 1926, if the county board approves the changes ordered by the commission, will give Wisconsin Rapids and all of the communities of Wood county and of the counties to the north and west, the outlets to the east and south that have long been sought. While the concreting of these highways is considered out the for the present, assurance has been given that the gravel surfacing to be applied will be of the best type, adequate to care for the traffic for a number of years at least. Board Must Act In announcing its approval of the proposal to place the junction of the two roads directly east of Nekoosa, instead of to the southeast, the state highway commission, in a communication which will be presented to the county board at its net session, described in detail the exact nature of the changes pro posed, and urged that the board act upon the matter at its earliest possible opportunity! The changes were discussed at a public hearing held by the commission at the court house here on June 25, at which time little opposition to the change was voiced. The chief objection came from Nekoosa, where it was argued that the change would tend to divert tourist traffic from Highway 13, going through that village, to Highway 73, running directly into Wisconsin Rapids.
