sort crys will fall on deaf ears.
During the few days before election
voters will be flooded with literature
(asking support for the saloons) set
ting forth many reasons why the
saloons should remain. 1t is i'm near
ly all cases being paid by the liquor
interests. The Times has had letters
from the brewery interests offering
advertisements for which checks have
been rendered in payment at rate
much higher than the usual rate
charged by this paper--these adver-
tisements have been intended to in
huence votes. and of course the editor
of this paper would be expected to
refrain from taking any part in this
campaign. But the money could not
purchase our silence and the checks
have been returned to the makers.
Likewise any arguments that will be
presented at the last moment or
previous to election will be intended
to benefit the saloon--but you will be
lead to believe that the city is to be
benefited if you can be lead.
Many other places in Wisconsin are
going into the dry column this
spring. Washburn is also going dry.

doing away with this evil--vote out

For Selling intoxicating
Liquor to a Minor
Father of Lad Threatens
Trouble for Dispensers of
Booze.


paper we made mention of the fact
that John Oberts, a Polish boy bare
ly past sixteen years of age, had been
arrested for breaking the large plate
glass window in the ID. w. Corning
grocery store. Upon being arrested
Oberts admitted having broken the
window but said that he was intoxi-
Gated at the time and did not know
what he was doing. He was ques-
toned by the officers as to where he
obtained his liquor but he said that
he did not remember and this phase
of the question was not pushed
further, but upon promise of the lad
to pay for the damage done he was
released.
This week the father of the boy
made arrangements for the payment
of the window, amounting to $44.25,
by mortgaging his farm, and from his
statement it would appear that it was
an easy matter to learn where the
boy had obtained the liquor to make
him drunk.
But to start an action against four
of the saloon men right in the face OF
license campaign would be BOOM
ersng for the "drys" of the city that
would help to wipe out the saloons
on election day. But this father, who
has the welfare of his boy at heart
and not the interest of the saloons,
does not propose to be put off and he
now threatens action against the four
saloon men whom he charges with
having sold liquor to his boy. In his
action to have the licenses of these
saloon men, who sold his boy liquor,
revoked he should have the backing
of all citizens.
There is nothing that has done SO
much to create this sentiment for a
no-license town as the selling of
liquor to minors. For years it has
been an easy matter for boys to OBJ
tain liquor in number of the saloons.
Several attempts have been made
to revoke licenses of saloon men for
violating city ordinances, selling
liquor to minors, and other charges,
but every attempt has failed and on
election day the voters of the city
propose to take the matter in their
own hands and rid the city of this
evil.
For some years this cloud of public
sentiment has been gathering and has
been increasing with such rapidity
that it promises to carry with it
victory on election day.

There seems to he an idea prevail
ent am ong the saloon element of the
city of Washburn and elsewhere that
anyone who may happen to have an
idea that the city would be better
off if it were rid of the saloons has
not the right to express his opinions
while they also believe it is right and
proper that the saloon element should
be granted this privilege. They do
not seem to consider that this is a
free country where every individual
has perfect right to his own opinion,
regardless of whether he differs from
their viewpoint or not. Consequent
ly when they learn That anyone has
the nerve to come out and declare
himself, or even if one might happen
to be on the opposition side without
declaring himself openly, boycott and
other mean things are threatened.
1t is just this attitude on the part
of the saloon crowd that has turned
many man over to the dry side
and it is just this attitude that is GO
ing to turn enough of them over on
election day to blot out the saloon in
Washburn.
There was a time few years back
when voters were somewhat timid
about taking a stand i'm favor of no
license town, owing to the threats
put up by the saloon crowd. That
was in the darker days of Washburn
when the liquor interests reigned
with high hand, but public senti-
ment has been changing of late years
and it has now become so strong that
voters are no longer afraid to assert
their right and the saloon crowd are
beginning to teel the ground slipping
from under their feet and they realize
that their open threats are no longer
feared.
Some few weeks ago the writer
was asked whether he was dry" or
wet. For number of years we
have been giving this question con-
siderable thought and study and as a
result of this study we have come to
the conclusion that this business,
which tended to destroy and was not
a producer of any good, was not a
good business to harbor in the city.
Naturally our answer came that we
were i'm favor of a dry" town--we
thought that this was right given
us by the Constitution of the United
States to express our opinion. The
word Immediately went forward to
the liquor interests that the Times
man was not right and to look out
for him. Had the word gone forth
that we were wet there would
have been hocking around the office
like bees around honey pot when
the interests were in trouble and
want some favor done. But with the
Times man dry" they must now
look elsewhere.
Then the word was passed out that
they must show The Times thing OF
two for daring to defy this giant
monster and one or two got the idea
into their heads that by stopping
their subscriptions this paper would
have to cease publication but we
will continue to issue every week jus
the same. A number have already
come in to take their place and ou
subscription list is experiencing quit
rapid growth. Not only do thes
saloon men threaten The Times bu

WHERE WE STAND

to carry their boycott to number o.
merchants who are reported as being
dry" and it was rumored the first
of the week that their last futile
attempt was to take away the remains
of dead man because they thought
the undertaken was on the wrong
side.
When we stated that we were
dry it was not because we had
any thing against any saloon man or
any one connected with the business
but that it was the business we were
against. There are reasons for this :
yes there are a hundred and one
arguments why the city of Washburn
should be placed in the dry column
this spring, both from a financial and
moral standpoint, while there is not
J one single argument in favor of this
/ business which tends to destroy and
J leave ruin i'm it's wake.
There is expended in this city each
year in the liquor traffic an amount
ranging from $S7 ZOO to 800, 900
and we believe that this is conserv-
ative estimate. The greater part of
this amount comes out of the pockets
of the laboring men, and through
its expenditure legitimate business is
deprived of many a dollar that right
fully belongs to it while many
mother and her children are robbed
of the simple necessities of life.
Aside from what is spent locally
for licenses and expenses of those
connected with the business every
penny of this amount goes to outside
corporations who have no interests
whatever in the city except for what
revenue it brings them. Their BUSH
ness does not create one cent of
wealth to a community but on the
other hand tends to destroy and take
away that which is produced here bv
the sweat of mans brow. The labor
ing man is against the business and
willvote it Out-he knows it has
brought him no good and has only
dom. him harm ifhe happens to be
a drinking man. This business has
forced many mother to leave her
hone and work in order to provide
living for her children there are
many cases of this nature right here
in Washburn husbands spending all
of their earnings in the saloon while
the mother keeps the home together

young boy and young man of the
community and voters of the city

This year the saloon men and those
who are backing them for purposes
which are plain to most of us and
which may be explained later) are
beginning to realize that they have
the fight of their lives before them

they are not leaving stone unturned

Power of a Great Wave.

The remains of an excursion steamer may be seen in hayfield 300 feet above the lake of Loen, in Norway. This oddly placed wreck is the sole relic of a terrible landslide which took place in 1906, when the whole side Of a mountain suddenly slipped into the lake, raising great wave more than 300 feet high, which drowned every body living along the shores. more than sixty people perishing. The steamer, which was moored on the lake at the time. was carried on the crest of the wave over a perpendicular cliff and deposited. as already stated. more than 500 feet above the normal level of the water, more than a quarter of mile away from its anchorage. It is torn and battered wreck, every bit of woodwork has been wrenched of, and the twisted steel work testlfies to the force of the wave which cast it ashore.-Wide World Magazine.

Some Pessimistie statisties.

Estimating the worlds population as 100000. 900. the whole human race at present living could stand comfortably shoulder to shoulder in an area of 500 square miles.
 Taking the number of generations In the past 6.oo0 years ns 200. the room taken by them all on the above plan would only be half the size of Ger many, or less than the area of the state of Colorado. To bury all the people on earth would require n graveyard a little larger than that nrea.
 If the dust left by each body be esti- mated at one-tenth of cubic yard. which is liberal estimate. it would cover only forty square miles to Il depth of about three feet.
