THE Wisconsin State Anti-Prohi-
bition association, an organization of
distillers, brewers and saloon-keep-
ers, with headquarters in Milwaukee,
has issued a circular attacking high
license as Gan infamous outrage on
private rights" OF course n~o-license
would be the only state of affairs
which the association could indorse.
But that is out of the question. The
vast majority of the people desire a
license system, both as a vehicle for
regulation and a means of revenue.
1t has been abundantly proven,
wherever tried, that the higher the
fee the better the regulation; thus
does high-license bring about that
which is most desired by the ma
jority. Madison has too many cheap
groggeries, and it sadly needs more
money for its streets and schools.
There ought not to be, and there is
not, any question but what we can
have at least a $3.50 license estab-
lished in this city, and at the same
time knocked a score Of cheap sa-
looms in the head. When our
people have once experienced the
blessings of high-license, they will
never want to return to the old sys-
tem.-MadiS0n Paper.

High License and the Poor Man


The Germainia, q weekly German
paper, having the largest circulation
of any German paper published in
the state, while expressing regret
that the movement for increasing
the license had not been postponed
till another year, says: EWe are full
ly convinced of the benefits of a
higher license, and believe that here
in Milwaukee the saloons can well
bear a license of $3.50 or even $780,
No doubt of it. The matter has
been fully tested in the neighboring
state of Illinois. All saloons there
pay $500 license, and the law is
popular. An attempt to repeal it
ended in ignominious failure. Nor
does the poor laboring man in Hi
nois find the least difficulty in get
ting his beer. The Illinois law has
yielded a big revenue, it has light
ened the poor mans taxes, and it
has closed some of the more obscure
and disreputable drinking places, all
of which are good results. No
poor laboring men there have COM

An effort is being made amOng the
iourneymen bakers of Savannah to or
ganize bakers branch OF the knights Of
Labor. If their efforts are successful a
strike for higher wages is contemplated.
There are "a bakeries in savannah, en-
blowing about 20 persons, and If the con-
templated organization is effected and a
strike can be brought about, all the lead
ing establishments would be affected, and
a number of persona now dependent upon
the bakeries would be compelled 70 put
their own hand into the kneading trough
or do without the staff of life.
The iOurneymen bakers who are inter-
esting themselves in the movement to
effect an organization claim that they are
not receiving enough wages, and some of
them state that reductions have recently
been made in their pay. They also CLAIM
that they should share with the bakeries
the benefits of the recent decline in the
price of flour, and that hence their pay
should be increased.

wages of bakers, ne stated, average from
So to So a week, with board, and when
they board themselves they receive from
$40 to SIG a week. The higher figure is
received by the foreman and the lower by
what is known as the ''third hand" MAJ.
SchwarZ said that he had recently aban-
dOned some of his trade and made re
ductiGn of two men in his force, but 1t
was not because he had determined to re-
