Madison Wisconsin State Journal (Newspaper) - December 22, 1920, Madison, Wisconsin\ . FROM -- A R E A D E R 'S NOTEBOOK T T> HW spirit of cooperation displayed by Madison theater men in such civic enterprises as em anate from people's hearts and travel through their purses Is a reassuring testim onial to tim quality of these men. OUR T heaters are liko newspapers SHOW -capable of groat good, but MEN dangerous In bud hands. The m anagem ent of a thoator Is a public trust, adm inistered lf m anage� ment be right for tho benefit of the growing m inds urn! bodies of the com � munity. Men whose hearts and hands v tan be depended upon to help on the Jf �e an*! generous m ovem ents of the r commonwealth m ay he trusted to make the theater an agency for the w hole- some developm ent of the youth of the city, Ours are u �n� Jot, and we are proud of them. . . . . * Few thor v are In this age who can� not write th sir names. Hut those who cai only m ake their mark, "X" while touching the pen that HIS unother hand guides, need MA RK not feel so very bad about U And, lf they care to, they can put on a little sw ank. For there was a tim e when the cross mark on docum ents of one kind or another was far from Indicating Il� literacy. Among the early Saxon* the eign of tho cross m erely m eant an a t� testation of the truth, or good faith. And It w as found follow ing the s ig n a � tures o f those who could write a s well as thorfe who could not. The "X" too w as known as the sign representing an oath, and "God save the mark" is an expression that Is still a use. W ith the advance of the opportunity for education In this country and the passing of an older generation the man who is forced to the mark for a signature, la, happily, rapidly growing ex tinct. . . . Few, perhaps, could "place" Lydia l 'isher'a jig. B u t lf one hum m ed " Y ankee Doodle" th e re L Y D I A would be no m istake F I S H E R 'S about it. W ell, truth Is JIG that the tune o f "Yankee Doodle" w as Just stolen 'rom another tune that w as well flown In the days of Charles the S ec� ond. And that tune w as "Lydia 'ish e r's J ig ." The identity o f Lydia has not been discovered but the story of the stirring m arching song of colonal tim es has been preserved. But versions differ. W hen In 1755 a regiment of Con� n e c t ic u t soldiers w as organised and were dressed In m otley uniform s, the English surgeon, Richard Shuckbury, a wit and a m usician, wroto tho words th a t have since becom e fam ous and adopted them VO the tune of Lydia F ish ers Jig, apparently in dcrlson of the m ake-up of the lighting Yanks. " Yankee Doodle cam e to town, riding on a pony; he stuck a feather in his h a t and called it m acca ro n l.'* And m aecaro n l w as used to express co n � tempt an d meant "dude." i v . th e Y ankee tro o p s tu rn e d the attem pt a t derision In to th e ir favor, com plim enting them se lv es on th e ir un ique ap p earan ce .

The proba� ble deficit In estim ated a t $7,900,000. COMBINATION of a i ning thirst and their inability to find "Sam," the dispenser who sold liquid that satisfies, led to the arrest last night of N. Martonsen, O. Moan and Peter Peterson, three east end youths. The three pleaded guilty to charges of drunkenness in su � perior court today and ware fined $10 each. Charles Bodine, 615 Regent street, appeared as a witness. He answered a knock on the door at 11:30 last night and found seven men demanding to see '.Sam,'' he said. Ho told them Sam lived elsewhere, but the men insisted. Bodme said he told hi* wife to remain in the house and he went out and shut the door. The men thereupon proceeded to knock him down and beat him up. Bodine claimed one of the group fired three shots, but he did not know whe it was. After he went back into the house and locked th* door the men a t � tempted to kick it down, he said. Mrs. Bodine became excited when aha heard tha shots ana believed he had been killed, Bo� dine said. Asked of the testimony of B o� dine was correct, the three were silent. "Probably you were too drunk to know what was going on?" Judge Hoppmann asked and they nodded. The three said one of tho other men had fired the shots and they didn't rem em � ber who kicked at th* door. They were looking for "Sam" to buy some moonshine, but they "didn't know" his last name.

Here is the inside story of the Harding victory as told to C. C. Lyon, staff correspondent of the Wisconsin State Journal. BY HARRY M.

Hughes bas received a conditional offer to become secretary of stat* in the Harding cabinet and is c o n � sidering it, it w as learned on high authority here today. Th* condition attached to th* o f � fer was said to be that Hughes should work with Senator Hard� ing in establishing a new assoc ia � tion of nations and casting said* the League of Nations as set up in the treaty of Versailles. Heretofore, Hughes has held that the league covenant should be amended to strike out the clauses to which its opponents objected, notably Article X. Hughes is now ?aid to be considering whether he will veer from this position, which is understood not to coincide with the position of the president-elect. : w d t l � Y C n u w .e s T h e w istfu l, shy g lan ces of a l ittle m aid, sn ugg led closely in the a rm s of a g ir l-m o th er, overcam e th e p lea o f a learned law y er an d th e v e rd ic t of a co urt today w h en Gov.
