License The Man Who Drinks

The Wallace Times is authority
for the following views on the liquor
question by Senator Heyburn
Senator Heyburn's plan to regulate
the liquor traffic, as outlined in re-
cent speech in the senate and pub
lished in the Press-Times, offers a
new and original solution to the ques-
ton that disturbed the country for
many generations and still remains
unsolved If it is practical and we
are not prepared to say that 1t Is not,
there Is no doubt that it will greatly
reduce the consumption of liquor and
correspondingly increase the purchase
o. grcceries, clothing and other thing
that contribute to the comfort and
pleasure of life. The number of men
who would take out license to drink
and thus have their names entered
on a public record would be small
compared with the host who now ex-
ercise the privilege without restraint
Senator Hepburn makes the point
that it Is the man who drinks that
makes himself a nuisance and Gre
ates a disturbance not the man who
sells the liquor, and therefore he is
the man who should be taxd. The
Senator's plan throughout is inter
esting and may lead to the adoption
of entirely new methods of regulat-
ing the liquor traffic. Wallace
Times.
The idea Is truly novel 1t would
seem to the average person that the
man who drinks has paid his license,
and paid for it dearly. 1t would be
just as reasonable to require licenses
from persons suffering from effects
of some incurable disease,

Because Judge Hanford Gi New
York denied citizen papers to one
Leonard Oleson, on the grounds that
the latter admitted that he was a
Socialist. frequenter OF Socialist
meetings in which he takes part as
leading speaker and advocates II
propaganda for radical changes in tn
constitution of the country, all OF
which views he entertained at the
time of application for naturalization
papers, has raised storm OF crit
icism Of Judge Heanford. Well IL
these foreigners will not adopt the
stars and stripes of our country, but
instead, at all their meetings flaunt
the red banner Of anarchy, why
should they be granted privileges OF
citizenship or even be allowed to en-
Joy life in the land of the free and
the home of the brave. While We
do not believe that Socialism Is
either practicable or a ISOLATION of the
social condition OF this or any other
country, yet We respect the Social
lists views we would have HIN le-
spect our views on these matters SO
long as they will conduct themselves
with decency toward the flag which
stands for all that is .n,re an. MOLE.
But when we read an article in the
New York Call, Socialist organ I'M
der the date Of February 10, 1912,
which contains an article by Richard
Perrin we do not wonder that Judge
Hanford takes drastic steps. The ar
ticle follows in part:
IF | had been Sam.oi Gompers
when he was reproached by the cap
itallsts for placing his foot on the
American flag, would have answer
ed: Yes, | trampled on your flag,
and more than that | will spit upon
your flag, not mine. loath the
stars and stripes once the symbol of
liberty for all. but now tho stripes
represent the bloody stripes left Dv
your lash on the worke~, and the
stars the bullets and bayoneE wounds
in his breast To hell with your
flag "
Is not such reasonable utterings
sufficient grounds for ratr,irg the
man who will countenance them his
right of franchise?

mericans, who came to it on their
honeymoon and have made it their
abode ever since. Such, nevertheless
is the case. The house is in reality
the stump of an immense cedar tree
which, for probably a thousand years
grew in the primeyal forest that ex-
listed where the town of Edgecomb,
Washington now stands.
Several years ago this monster was
slain for the purpose of making
shingles from its timber. The stump
was sawed and cut about II feet frC n
the ground. The center of the stun p
was badly rotted, and when young
farmer determined to establish his
home, he dug out the interior and
found that the outside rim OF the
stump was firm and solid. By means
of an adj and by fire he followed
out the interior, levelled off the floor
installed a door and window and
put on a crude roof, shingled with
cedar boards.
Then he was ready for his bride,
and that she is happy in her novel
home is indicated by her bright smile.
The interior of the stump affords
space of about IA by Is feet, which
is divided into two rooms Here the
young couple are comfortable, and al
though they have no room to spare,
the novelty of their home offsets this
trifling inconvenience.

THIRD ANNUAL
CHAUTAUQUA
Continued from page l

club wemen, being well known to a
great many people in this state and
it was at the request of those who
had previously heard her that she
was engaged for this Assembly.
unsteady the 1912 Assembly of the
Chautauqua will surpass any thing
ever heard or known in this state.
The list Of attractions is headed by
the Chicago Operate Company and
the Boise Choral Society and compile :
ed by the Schumann Quintet and the
Cambridge players. The Cambridge
Players are peculiar organization,
giving both selections from different
operas and scenes from well known
dramas. They are the only people
on the Chautauqua platform whom
the great Ellis Day has allowed the
use of his name as coach and direc-
tor and they have been pronounced
by him as the very best in their line.
The Schumann Quintet is a string
ed orchestra of five pieces, produc-
ing scenes from the ancient and mod
ern operas, all in costume with the
proper stage settings, The members
of this orchestra are all artists and
former members of the Theodore
Thomas Orchestra of Chicago.
The Chicago operate Company wa
the leading attraction at the 1911 AS
sembly. The members OF this COM
pany are among thu, best known in
the country. Arthur Middleton, the
basso, is conceded to be. the greatest
bass singer America has ever pro-
1uced. They are all very prominent
on the concert platform and sing in
the most prominent churches of Chi
cago. Edgar Nelson the pianist is a
pupil of Harold Won Mckwits, the
great Finnish pianist and is associ-
ated with Madam Julie Rive-king,
in the piano department of the Bush
Temple Conservatory.
The Record Herald of Chicago says
Of Miss Allen, the soprano, of the
company: cher tone, phrasing and
range prove her unusual gifts for
opera work.
There are five members of the
Chicago operate Company and they
will be in Boise for three nights, on
two of which they will give varied
programs, consisting of selections
from the compositions of great mast
ers, all produced in proper costumes.
On the third night Elijah will be pro-
duced by the Boise Choral Society
and the members of the Chicago OPP
cratic Company will carry the solo
parts.
There are hundred voices in the
Choral Society included in which are
the finest singers in Boise and at it's
public concert at he Pinney Theatre
late in 1911 it made a tremendous
hit, The society is under the direc-
ton of Prof Westbrook, musical di-
rector In the Boise schools and
graduate of several large music con-
servatories in the east. Elijah is a
we'll known oratorio composed by
Mendelsohnn and is probably the most
popular oratory ever produced. The
members of the Chicago operate
Company are peculiarly well adapted
to solo parts, Mr.. Arthur Middleton
especially, having sung his part in
all of the large cities of the east
and having the reputation of being
the greatest oratorio singer on the
platform today.
The cooking school and bible class Z
will be conducted this year as usual.
Season tickets for the Chautauqua
have been placed at $3.50 and Sits
for students of schools or colleges.

COMMERCIAL CLUB

A joint meeting of the directors
and officers of the Commercial Club
was held Friday, and among other
matters considered were the fol
lowing:
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of Milwaukee are to Wis
it this city on Thursday, June 9Th,
arriving at 4:30 p. M. and remain
ing here until some time late in the
night before leaving on their train.
1t was voted that the chairman of
the board of directors appoint a re-
ception committee of fifteen to have
charge of the receiving of the visit
ing merchants.
1t was also voted that a committee
of five also be appointed to act as
an arrangement committee. In this
connection it was proposed that the
merchants be given an automobile
ride from Nekoosa to this city, if the
weather is favorable, and that the re
ception be held at the Amusement
Hall in the evening. 1t is believed
that the merchants of the city will
unite in doing themselves proud in
showing up Grand Rapids and it's
advantages to these visiting mer-
chants and manufacturers.
A letter was presented from A. P
Een, Assessor of Incomes, calling at
tention to the fact that member of
the state tax commission will be here
on April Both and suggesting that
the business men of the city furnish
a hall for an evening meeting. It
was the opinion, however, of the
board and officers that the Court
House would be as good place as
any to hold such meeting and that
no extra expense be incurred on this
| account.

is of as much Importance as the treat
ment of illness. All disease is per
il and menace to individuals and
society at large.
People should be taught how to
keep themselves and their families
IN good health and be taught that
many diseases are due to careless
ness, self indulgence, and ignorance
of natural laws
Many consulted DR.. Williams in
regard to their health from this
standpoint.
We estimate that she spoke to
5000 persons while in the city.
She could have been very busy an
other week speaking at the factory
gates etc.
She said that although the school
inspection was thorough and condi-
tions general in the city in a good
sanitary state, she estimated that
there We're 100 cases of active tu-
berculosis in this community.
Her final message to us was to
begin at once to work for county
sanatorium where these patients can
receive the care they should.
We heard only praise for DIR. Viii
liams. We consider the work
purity that she did in the inter
ests of our public morals even more.
valuable than that in the interest of
our public health.
Our outlay for this work was $SS.-
80 leaving $1367 in the treasury
The secret of whatever measure of
success DR.. Williams and the com
mlttee may have had with this work
was the cordial cooperation of the
people in general.
Only those who have experienced
it can realize the sympathetic inter
ested friendly attitude of our people
towards this cause.
For that reason we beg of the mem
bers of the Federation to put more
workers in the field next year for
to what better use could we put our
time and talents than in this effort
to raise the standards of morals and
health and decrease physical suffer
ing in the men, women and children
of our own city.

WHY | AM
A CATHOLIC

Rev. Edward J. Mullaly of Chicago
a priest, who has been in our city
for the past week under the
auspices of the Knights of Columbus
delivered eight lectures at Daly's
Theatre on variety of subjects,
closing with the one entitled ''Why
1 Am A Catholic"
He is an able speaker and made
many friends, not only among the
members Of his church, but outside
of the church. He is a very pleasing
mixed in with the seriousness of his
subjects. Not only the members of
his church have enjoyed these adj
dresses but non-Catholics as well.
We believe that he has given more
enlightment, not only to the mem
bers of his own church but to non
Catholics as well, than has ever been
known before in this city. The rea-
sons why the Catholic church be-
lieves in certain rights and benefits
were made perfectly clear by the
speaker. His services the past week
could not help but do a great deal of
good to this community not only to
his own people, but others as well
He said that he enjoyed his stay in
Grand Rapids and was very thank
full for the many courtesies shown
him. He returned 10 Chicago Mon
day where he is permanently located
The order of Catholic knights have
the thanks of the community for the
excellent list of lectures that he
delivered in this city under their
auspices.
