The most radical bill etfecting the
liquor interests ever proposed in Wis
consin was introduced in the legislature
this week by the liquor interests them
selves, through the Wisconsin and up
per peninsula Of Michigan Brewers
Association, of which the brewers of
southwestern Wisconsin lead and zinc
mining country, including The Durand
Brewing Co. of Durand, The Mineral
Spring Brewing Co. of Mineral Point,
and The Semrad Bros. & Pusch com
pany of Highland, are members. The
bill proposes strict regulation of all sa-
looms in the state by a state commission
which win operate under laws making
it useless for the saloon keeper or the
liquor interests to interfere in local
politics. The bill will force an absolute
cleaning up of the saloon business in
the state. the eradication of dives, dis
orderly places and law breaking saloons.
1t is calculated that the bill will remove
from the liquor interests all incentive
to mix in politics.

who wantonly and for his own profit
took from the poor mans loaf was
considered an execrable and loathsome
thing. In modern times the cutters of
Paris have run red with blood because
the staff of life was made a thing of
speculation.
Today in America wheat deal that
may mean a fabulous fortune to its
manipulation is attended in many sec
tions of the land by shrinking loaves or
rising price of bread. Already sad and
sickening demonstrations against hak-
ers and vendors have taken place in the
haunts of New York's congested pow
erty.
The man who engineered the vast
operations that are believed to have
cornered some 10000, 900 bushels of
wheat denies that his gigantic gamble
in futures has anything to do with the
rise in the price of flour and the conse-
quent shrinkage of the bakers loaf.
He maintains that this is due solely to
the operation of the natural law of sup
ply and demand, in other words, to the
shortage of the wheat crop. He wash
es his hands of any participation in so
horrifc a thing as the creation of a cor
ner in wheat.
Mr.. Patten does well to acquit himself
of participation in practice damned
by centuries, for the public does not.
There is basis of truth to what he
says, but two and two also continue to
make four.
The people will want grounds more
convincing than the word of an inter-
ested party to absolve this trader in the
sustenance of hungry mouths of his re-
sponsibilty for their present cry. They
know that this man stands to make an
Aladdin's fortune from his deal, to
which they will contribute, each and
all, in higher prices and emptier stom-
achs, and they would know if such a
thing can be where justice and human
ity are thought to reign.
From the country over comes the de-
mand for federal action. 1t comes from
people who still have faith that the
government of this great nation has
power to investigate and put an end to
business and pseudo-business that waXes
great on gambling in the necessities of
life. And the answer comes back that
our laws do not cover the present case,
that such federal laws, if enacted,
would be unconstitutional, that the pc
titioners must look to their local courts
for relief.
This may be true. No doubt it is true.
But it is truth that blights and ran
kles. It is a truth that demonstrates
something to be still rotten, not in
Denmark, but here in free America;
something that cries for desperate
remedy.
Business may be business, dog may
eat dog. But when that business is
gambling in foodstuif futures, and the
eaten dog is the hungry consumer, that
dog will some day rise against that
business and wipe it from the books of
commerce.

the battle Of life and fought his way

Mr.. Rawleigh went to Freeport some
years ago and started the business in a
small way. Through his wise manage

it has now reached mammoth proper

At the spring election this year,
Freeport showed its appreciation of
Mr. Rawleigh and what he has done
for that city in a business way by elect

WHAT THE TEACHER DID.
Part Of Programme Embarrassing to
BashfuI Young Man.

Here is story that is being told on
a nice young man who teaches Sun
day school class in North Baltimore.
1t has been told on other young men
before, and there is a strong probable
ity that it never happened at all to this
particular young man, but his friends
have attached the story to him, and.
Nuch to his discontinue, he must bear
it. In the first place, he is very bash
full and the request made by the Sun
day school superintendent that he
take a class of young ladies, who had
just lost their previous teacher. was
disturbing enough. The previous teach
er had been a charming woman, and
her loss was due to marriage with a
Washington man. The class of ten
charming young ladies waited while
the young man was being brought
from the other side of the room, where
he had been the presiding genius OF
a class of small boys. This is Mr.. T.,
ladies'" announced the superintend-
ent. He has consented TO become your
teacher, and | am sure he will find
the position most delightful one.'
Surely, surely" gushed Mr.. T. Il
shall be charmed, perfectly charmed
and then as the superintendent moved
away, leaving him bashful, not to say
scared, he rushed into his duties at
once-"and now, ladies', if you will
tell me what your former teacher al
ways did first we will try carrying out
the same program" There was few
moments silence. then a pert-looking
young miss, casting down her glances
most effectively. purred: We'll, II you
really want to do that way. Miss Grace
always kissed US good morning." This
may or may not be true. but the
young man declares the people who
are telling it are mean.
