Inquiries About the Ordinance

The great interest of the people in the new license ordinance is indicated by the great number of letters that subject. with which the mail The Republican is laden Some of the letters con sist only of comment. generally adverse, upon the measure while others are devoted to inquiry con corning It is impossible print all these letters but we take pleasure in replying inquiries corning the meaning of the various features of the ordinance.
 One reader, farmer, assumes that the ordinance imposes upon who sell in the city garden products, fruits, eggs, poultry butter raised produced by themselves. The ordinance does not impose such It could not have been made to do so if the commission had had such pur pose in view. The state law gives the farmers and others the right to sell products of their with out the necessity of paying license tax.
 The assumption that farmers were to be taxed is based upon msinterpretation of sections S5 and 9l of the ordinance which intended to relate only 10 hawkers and peddlers of fruits and other articles wnl,n they have bought and expect to sell at pro- fit One object of these sections is to protect mer regular dealers in such articles but they do not in any way affect the producers
 Another reader inquiries: win you kindly in through the columns your paper if it is the purpose of the license ordinance to levy tax upon any mechanic who undertakes to do a job of work individually. with his own tools at his trade. for any citizen whether merchant, house. holder otherwise, the said mechanic having shop anL being unable one? --

History will remember Pancho Villa, geheral- in chief of the Mexican constitutionalists as a fighter of remarkable and resource. worthy in those respects to rank with Santa Ana and Mira mon History will also remember him cruel and remorseess victor by whom the Dutchery Of prisoners practsed after every success.

 Civilization cannot eondone this kind of war fare. It Is barbarism pure and simple. To argue that Villa is only pursuing the custom of his cotn try; that what he did the other day has been done elsewhere by the orders of Huerta and Zapaa. does make his conduct any toleraoe in Ameri- con eyes.

CLINTON DYNAMITE INJURY
Man Fearfully Lacersted and May
Die

The Wesley Times reports that Ed.
Erickson. farm hand on the Bekkedal
farm east of there, met with serious
accident on last Friday afternoon while
at work dynamiting stumps. Just how
it occurred nobody seems to know, but
the superstition is that there was pre-
mature explosion before Mr.. Erickson
had chance to be at safe distance.
A physician was summoned immediate
ly, who dressed and bandaged the many
wounds and bruises about his head, but
the injuries were of such serious ma
ture that the patient was at once con-
veyed to Lacrosse hospital We I'M
derstand that one eye had to be removed.
Aside from this, reports are that he
will recover.

THE CARGO WE HELPED MAKE
Christmas Ship Sailed With Gifts for
Foreign Peoples

Viroqua and Vernon county residents
contributed literally to the ship stores
that left New York on Saturday last,
bearing more than l, 200 tons of Christ
mas gifts from the people of America,
a Santa Claus ship. the collier Jason,
which sailed for Europe. A message
of God speed from President Wilson
was received by Lieutenant Command
er Z. F.C0urtney shortly before sailing
time. The docks were black with thou
sands of school children.
So heavy was the rain of Christmas
presents to the children of Europe that
a force of soldiers and sailors from the
navy yard was necessary to receive and
classify the goods as theg we're re-
eeived
The ship will call FIRST at Falmouth,
where the goods intended for England.
France and Belgium will be discharged;
then she will proceed to Rottefdam,
where gifts for Holland and Germany
will be discharged. At s later date an
other consignment will be forwarded
to the people Of Russia and POLAND.

With thousands of women and children

most everything conceive bic, including
great sums of money. AMI send them
abroad to nations and people engaged
in bsrbarous war! If these foreigners
could but be invoked 20 observe the
Golden Rule, cease hostilities and the
waste of life and treasure, there would
be no occasion for soliciting aims from
distant nation. But we Americans.
are blessed with sympathetic, christian
impulses and hearts; our benevolences
go out TO the world in trouble. With
this awful example of sacrifice of life
and property, yet we are glad that
Americans and our little community
contributed to the cargo of the big
Christmas ship. Its burden will APP
