What would you think of man
breaking into safe in a judges office
and then having to face the Judge
with the crime? That is the fate of
James Winson, who is well known in
local police circles. AS stated in a
previous issue he entered the office Of
Justice Adolph AndTo and broke into
the large safe. The safe is of the old
variety without the combination and
it was not difficult to swing the doors
wide open. Oace on the inside he
helped himself to the judges check
book, filled out some Of the checks
at the judges desk and proceeded
to get them cashed. He was not
successful in every instance but
managed to get $25 at the Welk
saloon and So 90 at the A. M. Rodems
fruit store. James had been sentenced
twice in the past by the justice and
had had trouble at the Rodems store
so it looks as if he desired to get even
before his sudden flight.
Early Wednesday, morning the loss
became known and the police sent out
descriptions. 1t was afterwards
learned that be hired e. r. Edwards
to take him to Kilbourn in an auto
mobile 8nd then squandered several
dollars in the saloons and slept in the
Hile house. Wednesday he Travelled
to Portage where he quenched his
bdrning thirst and then hurried to
M sdison where there are about so
saloons and where there would be no
d niger of suffering from a "bracer"
now and then.
Wednesday night he csma to Bara-
b9o on No. 51l and the first thing he
did was to hurry TO third ward thirst
quencher where he accidentally met
Under Sheriff Frank Welk who gave
the wanderer a surprising welcome.
Strange he came back to the town
where 8 warrant for forgery awaited
nin1, but he did. Soon cell door
changed behind him and sll that re-
NAMED TO be done was to take him
before the justice whose duty in such
cases Is to recommend the circuit
court. The finish comes later.
Wlnson came from Ohio to Baraboo
and for some time was employed on
the Chicsgo Il North western. After
h's second arrest the company found
it could get along Without him and
let him go. He has spent the most
of his money for booze in the towns
along the line and has now entered
on journey that will be In the nature
of riding on a water wagon.

When the county board of super
visors met on Thursday afternoon for
the January session the question OF
taxes ana good roads was the all i'm
portant topic of discussion. A member
stated that A. r. Hirst of the state high
way commission had said that Sauk
county was not the only balliwick
objecting to the present system and
he had found that other counties were
louder in their denu1cistions than
this one. Chairman CLARK said there
was movement on foot for repre-
sentative from each county board in
the state to hold meeting and discuss
the situation. One member stated
that the amount to be expended in
Ssuk county next year was about
$40, 900 and j. B. Ragatz of Prairie

figure il would be nearer $685. 900.
He said the hood wink that the coun-

who paid the fiddleIs.

By III. w. Rood in Madison
Democrat

1t was a pleasant visit that / had
Saturday evening, Dec. goth, in the
Grand Army post at Baraboo. The
comrades there and Woman's Relief
Corps meet every Saturday evening.
The two societies meet in ia3joining
halls and so are closely onnected in
their work. It was for a long time
the custom there for the comrades
and the ladies, as soon as their busi-
ness met tings were closed, to have
C Office and crg ckers or cake together.
This practice has had the effect TO
bind them all very closely together in
social way. There are only eight
posts in the state that meet every
Wesa; the most of them hold their
meetings twice a month and some
only once.
The post AM c3rps halls at Barabco
are very pleasant and well equipped.
TIE walls are covered with historic
pictures, portraits of distinguished
jablkObS 0AO OA COLAl1ACS WIZ AGNS
dropped out of the ranks. There are
100, various patriotic emblems.
Among the portraits there is one par
slcularly dear to them-that of our
beloved oomr&de, Pill Cheek. Though
Phil was, so long as he was able,
much of the time on the road, he took
especial pains 10 reach home every
week ia time to get in with the boys
at post meeting and be always brought
along with him an atmosphere OF
good cheer. Dear old Phil! When
ever AMI wherever he entered the
oogy man made as quick a getaway
as he could. Oar country never had
better Grand Army man than
Philip Cheek. He was chosen de-
partment commander in 1883 and
served as such two years..

Report by rIr. Post.

Highway Commissioner G. F.
Post made bis annual report which
showed that 1t cost So, 1927 mile to
build the roads the past year. the
cost not including bridges, culverts or
grading. This Is about the same as
in 1912. The culverts cost $47.12 each
and the grading $631 mile. The
bridges were built by day labor and
cost $3,642.32, a saving of S2,OOI68
over the prices submitted by bidders.
Report of Conference
Chairman Clark explained the res
suit of the conference between A. Re
nirst and G. F. Post with Judge r..
D. Marshall, Attorney ]. FL. Hill
and himself present: An agreement
was reached on the leading points in
she controversy and said that the
commission advised that Mr.. Post
have some assistance. The expendi-
ture of so much money meant great
deal of labor and among other things
Mr.. Hirst wrote that Mr.. Post should
have an assistan t, especially man TO
keep the machinery in repair, and an
office in the courthouse with book
keeper at the desk all the time. Mr..
Post should be there at least one day
in the week.
Mr.. Post said that the crews were
busy getting out rock for next season.
He also said that the contracts he had
sent to Madison to be approved had
not been returned by the commission.
This would mean serious loss to tie
towns and county if the laws were
rlgidly followed. A delay ia the re-
turn of contract meant delay in
the work and loss of money. The
only way to do If the contracts were
not returned was to proceed with tie
work. 15ffl
No definite action was taken.

Power.

It was stated that tse state high
way commission deLired greater pow
er and the opinion prevailed that the
couotIes should send men to the next
legislature who would suppress the
commission. The opinion also pre-
vailed that Wisconsin was the tax
payers and they should have some
voice In what was being done.
George w. Andre VS. said he thought
the state aid scheme should be
abolished.
TIE town of Delton expects state aid
for about twenty years and s. 5.
Squires hesitated on the proposition.
K. B. Griggs said there was no just
ice in the cities being exempt from
state aid and thought the farmers
along paved road should bear an ssad-
ditionaI burden OF the cost as in cities.
F. s. Barnett voiced that many of
the smaller tax payers felt the burden
of the expenditure of SO much money
keenly. Some thought cement roads
were csming.

GRAND GOOD THING.

In looking about for means of bet tering the existing conditions in South Carolina the suggestion has been made that there should be a state board of charities. It was only recently that Governor Blease in reply to the crit icisms of his wholesale pardonings took occasion to say that he was only acting for the deserved relief of those whose conditions had won his sym patily.
 Such being the case, and the people of South Carolina must know whether 1t is so that the present methods of dealing with the criminals, defectives, insane, paupers and homeless depend ents are antiquated and in need of re- form, the idea of establishing a state board of charities for the investigation and correction of the existing situation is a capital one. It indicates that South Carolina is gradually seeing good in the manner in which other states find it necessary to meet such problems and thereby obtaining an insight into a solution of its own troubles.
 In such a case South Carolina is not forced to enter untried fields. It has the experience of many other states as g. guide. The successful and valuable services rendered by such a board not only in pointing out and establishing, but in maintaining prop CT conditions are to be easily deter mined by proper inquiry The aim is certainly in the right direction and for the welfare of those who are suf- fering from the lack of right treat ment it is to be hoped that South Carolina will listen to good advice and make the necessary reforms. All, however, cannot be imposed upon a board The state must have the dis position and accompany 1t with the necessary legislation. 4 state board Of charities properly conducted is a grand good thing, as Connecticut can attest
