MAINTAINING WAREHOUSE
WITHOUT 4 LICENSE
Schlitz Brewing Company
Running Warehouse With
out Being Molested.

Our attention has been called
to the fact that the Schlitz Brew
ing company is operating a beer
warehouse in the city of Wash
burn without having paid a
license fee eff $500 to the city.
Previous to the 1st of July the
company. through their repre-.
sentativns, stated that they
would refuse to pay the license
fee of $500 but would be willing
to pay a smaller amount pro-
viding they would be granted
the privilege to run their ware
house. The council voted to ac-
cept $500 and the amount was
paid into the city treasury but
at the following meeting the
council, learning that the act
was illegal, recinded their action
and returned the amount to the
company and notified them that
it would be necessary to take
out a license This the com.
pany has refused to do but they
still continue to operate their
warehouse in violation of the
law.
On the third day of July, we
are informed, all beer in the
warehouse was sold out and a
supply was shipped here some
time after July 9th and large
amount of this is still on hand at
the warehouse and is being sold
to local men as it is needed.
It is said that the company pro-
poses closing up the warehouse
as soon as the present supply is
|gone and shipping the beer in
from other points. What we
would like to know is why the
police department. have not com
PEELED this big corporation to
either pay the license fee OF
close their warehouse. The
authorities would not permit a
Isaloon to run in the city without
la license and why is it that this
lcorporation with it's millions
back of it should be allowed tC
run for twenty-five days with
out being molested. Deal with
them all alike.
Thousands of dollars are paio
each year to this corporation
by the saloon men of Washburr
yet they object to paying
license fee of $500 to the city tt
maintain a warehouse here.
/ 1t is up to the officials to act.

Bullet. Son Also has a
Narrow Escape.

While engaged in picking berries
on the Bergen farm just above the
city last Sunday morning Mrs. Jake
Dibbell Of west Bayfield, street was
accidently shot by Oscar Larson,
the bullet hitting her in the leg and
passing completely through the limb.
The bullet also glazed the stomach
of Bernard Dibbell who was standing
near his mother. and had he been a
few inches closer would have un-
doubtedly caused his death.
Larson was out practice shooting
Sunday morning and did not notice
anyone in the field when he fired the
shot. He claims to have fired at a
small bird and Immediately upon
learning that the shot had hit Mrs.
Dibbell he rushed to her assistance
and helped her home. Physicians
were called and Mrs. Dibbell is now
reported as being out of all danger.
Time and time again boys have
been warned about shooting within
the city limits and numerous acci-
dents has been caused because the
practice has not been stopped. The
accid ent here related should be Q
warning to all boys to be more care
full with firearms while in the woods.
and especially near the city.

A Case frorn Mason

A case originating at Mason
was tried before acting Municipal
Judge A. F. Hoffman, in NUM-
cipal court in this city last Satur-
day afternoon There was two
separate actions to be tried; the
one being a charge made by Paul
G. Boelitz against Swan And
erson for using obscene and
abusive language and the other
a case against Mr.. Boelitz
brought by Swan Anderson for
cruelty to animals.
From the testimony in the
case it appears that COWS owned
by Anderson had been trespass'
ing on the field OF Boelitz and
that Boelitz had attempted tc
drive the COWS from the field by
setting his dog upon them
whereupon Anderson used
language that was not fit to be
repeated in the presence OF
ladies. 1t appears from the case
that Anderson admitted that he
had used bad language but he
stated to the court that his re-
marks were directed to the dog
and not to Mr.. Boelitz. Boelit.
on the other hand admitted
that he he'd set his dogs upor
the cattle to drive them from
his fields.
Acting Judge Hoffman aftel
hearing the evidence in the case
asked the defendant in the frs
named case to offer his apolog!
in open court to the plaintiff MI
Boelitz and that the apology b
accepted by the plaintiff in opel
court, whereupon both case
were dismissed. Attorney JohI
Walsh appeared for Mr.. Boelit
and Attorney E. q. Alvord fo1
Mr.. Anderson.

age of right and opportunity sweeps
across our heart-strings like some
air out Of Gods own presence, where
justice and mercy are recOnciled and
the judge and the brother are one
We know our task to be no mere
ask of politics but task which shall
;earch us through and through, ,,Whe-
ther We be able to understand our
time and. the need Of our people,
whether We be indeed their spokes-
men and interpreters, whether we
have the pure heart to comprehend
and the rectified will to choose our
high course Of action.
This is not day of triumph; it
is day of dedication. Here muster,
not the forces of party, but the fore
IS of humanity. Mems hearts wait
upon us; mems lives hang in the bal
ance; mems hopes call upon us to

see the bad with the good the de-
based and decadent with the sound
and vital With this vision We APP
proach new affairs. Our duty is to
correct the evil without imparing the
good, to purify and humanize every
process of our common life without
weakening or sentimentalizing it.
There has been something crude and
Eeartless and unfeeling in our haste
to succeed and be great. Our thought
has been, Let every man look out
for himself, let every generation look
out for ITSELF while we reared giant
machinery which made it impossible
that any but those who stood at the
levers of control should have a
chance to look out for themselves.
We had not forgotten our morals. We

NEEDLEWORK NOTES

Cheap handkerchiefs for school chill
dren can be made out Of sheer lawn or
India linen dresses.
Some of the most exquisite modern
point lace is made in the Vienna
schools by trained peasant labor.
Crocheted bedspreads are the fash
ion again. One of the prettiest pat
terms is formed of blocks crocheted
together and may be made Of carpet
warp or a coarse white twisted Gro
chet cotton.
A practical overall apron has the
sleeves reaching to the wrist and is
cut slightly square at the neck, fas.
tening at the back. Many people are
having these in light make of silk or
wool to slip over a good dress when
housekeeping and to save the trouble
Of too many changes of attire.
When sewing buttons on, if mar
row pieces of tape is threaded through
the button and small hole pierced
through the article and the tape
drawn through and the ends of the
tape stitched down fat on the wrong
side, the button will be found to last
as long as the article.
Chea pthread and sewing silk are
dangerous economies, and it is bet
ter to use such for basting and coarse
hand sewing and have the best for
machine sewing. Breaking thread or
thread that knots Is maddening, and
silk that fades and breaks after it
is sewed on the goods wastes ones
time and ruins the temper

CLAIMS COTTON RECORD.

Ell CENTRIC, Mar. At is now
claimed that with a cotton acreage of
5000 in the valley during the last
year there will be 1000 bales This
beats the average of any previous
year here and smashes the records Of
the world
The average of Texas is a third of
a bale to the acre, and therefore the
average in this valley has been about
half a bale This was in spite of the
fact that there were growers who
made nearly or quite two bales. But
there have always been enough who
were not successful with the crop
to pull down the average. This year
the industry has been more in the
hands Of experienced growers, with
the result Of a great Improvement in
quantity per acre.
In this connection the fact should
be noted that the buyers are pleased
with the fact that there will be no
volunteered cotton the coming season.
Clarance Gage said this morning that
this would be a distinct gain for the
valley as the quality of the output
would be much higher He declared
that the volunteering of cotton leads
to neglect of cultivation of the soil
and deterioration of the product, the
volunteered goods being of a lower
grade.

Things to Be Altered.

We have come now to the sober
second thought The scales of heed
Iessness have fallen from our eyes.
We have made up our minds to
life again with the standards we so
proudly set UP at the beginning and
have always carried at our hearts.
Our work is a work of restoration.
We have itemized with some degre
of particularly the things that ought
to be altered and here are some Of
the chef items: A tariff which cuts
us off from the proper part in the
commerce of the world. violates the
just principles of taxation, and makes
the government a facile instrument
in the hands of private interests; a
banking and currency system based
upon the necessity Of the government
to sell its bonds fifty years ago and
perfectly adapted to concentrating
cash and restricting credits; an in
dustrial system which, take it on all
sides, financial as we'll as admins
trative, holds capital in leading
strings, restrics the liberties and Ii
mits the opportunities of labor, and
exploits without renewing or con-
serving the natural resources of the
country; body Of agricultural acti-
vities never yet given the efficiency
Of great business undertakings or
served as it should be through the
instrumentality of science taken di-
rectly to the farm, or afforded the
facilities of credit best suited to it's
practical needs; water courses un-
developed, waste places unreclaimed,
forests untended, fast disappearing
without plan or prospect of renewal,
unregarded waste heaps at every
mine. We have studied as perhaps
no other nation has the most eff
fective means of production, but we
have not studied cost or economy as
we should either as organizers of
industry, as statesmen, or as indi-
VidualS.
