least sign of drunkenness disorder when they grow
out of blind pigs
Here is consistency-about much consistency
as in this plea of one of West Hammonds policemen
Il don't why these busybodies want to be
nosing around here. How do they expect the people
to live? They ought to remember that there fifty
three saloons in this little place, and they all can't
live by only selling beer. They've got to do what they
do or they'd starve They've got to have girls and
other things to go with the drinks the fty-three
saloons would have to close up"
That is the license argument carried to its logical
conclusion, and West Hammond is the license system
carried to its logical conclusion. 1t is the typical Ii
cense town We wonder why Gilmore, Wndle, Halle,
ct al are not exploiting it, and holding it up
example for blind pig infested, no-cense towns?

jacksonville Adopts Stringent
Ordinance

Recently the city council of Jacksonville passed
an unusually stringent anti-liquor ordinance The
ordinance prepared by the Anti-Saloon League
and is in the main similar to that adopted by about
fifty other cities and villages in the state 1t pro-
vides follows
I. Prohibits sale of spiritous vinous, fermented
malt liquor, whether such liquor would cause in
toxication not.
2. Prohibits the forming of clubs where liquors
received or kept for distribution.
3. Declares any place where this ordinance is
violated nuisance.
4. Prohibits owners of property from allowing
premises to be used in violating the ordinance
5. Prohibits displaying posting of signs or ad-
vertisements indicating that liquor can be procured
in such place.
g. Prohibits delivery of liquor by common carrier
to any but the bona hde consignee to any person
under fictitious name.
Jacksonville having the commission form of gov
eminent the ordinance referred to the voters for
ratification. The vote taken September The
vote was large and the ordinance was endorsed by a
majority of more than two to one.
When it is borne in mind that Jacksonville was
the present local option law and has been consistently
dry since November 1907, this vote becomes sgnif-
cant Instead of firing of prohibition the citizens of
Jacksonville we'll pleased with it that they are
ready to strengthen the law in every way possible
Here is an example for other dry towns Clamp the
lid down hard Make dry town dry sure enough and
it will be comparatively easy to keep it dry

One of the stock arguments of the apologists for
the license system is that we'll regulated licensed
saloon is less harmful to a community than blind
pig.
Whenever they find dry town in which the en-
forcement of law is bit lax and bootegging is wink
ed at they miss opportunity to play it up to the
limit Every act of violence, every nfraction of the
law, every case OF drunkenness is exploited
argument against prohibition and for the licensed
saloon.
The argument is specious to be sure, but it is
often effective the less and has been responsible
for the return of many dry community in which the
law was rgidly enforced to the license system
A sufficient answer to the argument is the fact
that the well regulated saloon" is myth. The well
regulated saloon and the 'model license law
good things to grow eloquent before the local
option election, but they have been known to
materalize after the election.
Now it goes without saying that blind pig is
bad thing, tremendously bad thing, and town in
tested by them is in bad way. But there is not
record in which return to the license system
decreased drunkenness and crime and disorder. Open
violation of law had probably reached its climax in
Newark Ohio and yet within week told
by citizen of Newark that conditions infinitely
better under prohibition than under license.
A model license town is what they promise. A
papers have recently given much attention to West
Hammond, suburb of Chicago. That is typical
license town. 1t has 5000 inhabitants and fifty three
saloons For fifteen years the saloons have been left
unmolested to work out their salvation. And
they have done it. But there, everywhere, the
salvation of the saloon means the damnaton of the
town. Mr.. Julius in the Chicago Morning World
gives graphic description of conditions there:
There are ten times saloons than groceries
Burglares, hold-ups and sluggings nightly oc-
currences. Gamblers overrun the village Murder is
a commonplace occurrence. West Hammond is rot
tent out-Beckers Lieut.. Becker, it out-corrupts
the corrupt West Hammond is arrogant. 1t knows
it is rotten and it to continue its rottenness 1t
doesn't want interference. 1t wants freedom That
is West Hammond-rotten, corrupt West Hammond,
where people thrive vice and grow rich on cor
rupton.
1t fairly makes us shudder to think what fit
saloon apologists and liquor papers would throw if
West Hammond were a no-icense town and condi-
tons described above the result of blind pigs.

Better Coming Than Going.

The inquiry for Wisconsin lands
continues to increase. This state
ment comes to the Office of the Wis
consin Advancement association
from all parts of the state. OF late
there have been many inquiries for
the developed farms of the southern
part of the state. People in Illinois,
Iowa, Indiana and other states have
recently learned of the great pro-
ductiveness of the cheaper Wiscon-
sin farms and are coming for them.
This is as it should be. The sellers
are largely investing their capital in
manufacturing industries, and thus
the state grows. 1t is far better to
have money coming into than going
out of the state. 1t Is with this idea
that the Wisconsin Advancement as
ISOLATION is telling of the merits of
the whole state.

The recent census shows that
Wisconsin as a manufacturing state
stands in eighth place among the
commonwealth of the nation. This
TO large extent accounts for the
splendid markets and the universal
prosperity of the farmers. 1t is
characteristic of Wisconsin markets
that they are the highest in compar-
ison with other states in that por-
ton of the year when the farmer is
selling. Consultation of the market
reports of the United States depart
ment of agriculture will clearly es-
tablish this fact. During the last
two months the farm value of
farm products in the so-called corn
belt have reached those of Wiscon-
sin, but during the fall and winter
those of Wisconsin are the highest.
This is the real test of the market

The average COW in Wisconsin just

Illustrated by the results of the Wis
consin Dairy Cow Competition, a
report of which is issued by the
Experiment Station of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. Some of the
best Wisconsin cows were in the
competition and nearly two-thirds
of all the cows entered produced
over 400 pounds butter fat in one
year. The cows in the first prize
herd averaged 1904 pounds milk
which yielded nearly 600 pounds
butter fat. This shows what can
be done by proper feeding and
management. Many lessons are
drawn from the results by Prof. F.

competition. The bulletin can be
secured free of charge by addressing

Wisconsin Farms in Demand

From all parts of the state comes
information that there never was q
time when Wisconsin farms were in
such demand as they are at the pres.
ent time. The Wisconsin Advance
ment association made big strike
when it analysed the United States
census and began making exclusive
use of the figures obtained there
from. In doing SO it got down to
the basic rocks and secured the Gre
dence of the public. The repeated
statement to the reading public that
YOU can verify these figures by
writing for the bulletins which cost
nothing" has had the effect of doing
away with the last atom of doubt.
This method of treating the matter
is so different from the tactics of pro-
moters and so manifestly fair, that
it has made Wisconsin land Literal
ture the one source of inform alton
in wich the reading public has con-
fidence.
This Is policy that competing
states cannot follow for the reason
that they cannot make as good a
showing and an attempt to adopt
the same method must result in de-
feat. So in this matter the Wiscon-
sin people have a monopoly. 1t
would be a wonderfully good thing
if the census we're taken every five
instead of ten years.

JULY AT THE FARM

The air still keeps the balmy scent
And dewy sweetness of the June,
And from afar the south wind brings
mowers whirring. iangling tune
It moves across the ripening grain,
Which ripples like golden sea,
And on it's wings it bears the charm
OF all the tropics up to me.
The birds that sang the morning in
With chorus from thousand throats
Are silent, save when dreamily
Some mother croons her soothing notes.
High rides the sun-uh, does he know
That earth has turned from him away,
To meet the Winters frost and snow,
His evenings bleak. and mornings grayi
Is 1t In pity that he heaps
The Summers hand with joy and bliss?
Is there heart which well could bear
A lifetime filed with days like this?
