Whisky Did 1t
February Fl, 1913.

Piano. Kendall county, was the scene of brutal
murder few days ago. 1t is the same old story
whisky did it. Plano is wet with vengeance. Town
ship option has terror for Plano. The saloons have
stranglehod, apparently. The Kendall County Rec
ord says the way to break this hold is to let the
tire county have voice in determining whether sa-
looms shall be licensed or not.
1t is a pitiabe story, this tragedy enacted in
Plano Emil Olson, moulder, while drunk, shot and
killed his wife, from whom he had been parted two
weeks He shot at his little seven-yearold daughter,
but missed her. then he fired fatal bullet into his
own brain as he ran from the home. Mrs. Olson, who
had but recently filed suit for divorce in Kendall
county, charged that Olson frightfuly beat her and
had become an habitual drunkard She was murdered
while preparing supper for her three children She
felt safe in her home because an injunction
granted her few days ago in the Kendall county
circuit court barring the husband from the home.
The Kendall County Record, to which we re-
ferred above, after relating the incidents of the
tragedy, says:
And that was the end of man and wife,
with three children left orphans and the dis
grace of father who murderer and
suicide. This is kind of personal lib
erty"-persona liberty for the to be
nuisance and danger to his family and the
community, but the personal liberty of the
wife and children to life and comfortable
home is not considered by the United So
cietes and their affnities. eff the damned
fool wants to fall down stairs and break his
neck, that is his business" the expression
heard from advocate of personal liberty"

the sympathy the inebriate got from
of his kind. But it is not his business 1t is
the business of stricken wife and children,
of community that must pay the expenses

for doctors bills, for hospital fees and for
the support of orphans widow when the
man exercises his personal liberty to drink
