PRESS POINTS

Burlington Standard Democrat: AT
the same time the country may felici-
tate itself upon the fact that, in this
particular crisis, the administration OF
affairs is not in the hands of the excel
lent but impetuous colonel.
Wisconsin State Journal: The Con-
gress which now comes to a close has
given us the most honest tariff law we
have yet had; it is far from perfect but
it goes long way in the right direc-
ton; it has lowered the tariff on arti-
cles Of food, clothing and shelter and
has raised the tariff on Injuries. This
Congress, be it said to it's credit, has
given us fairly good income tax law,
fairly good banking law, law Great
ing a much needed federal trade com
mission, law exempting labor and
farmers organizations from the rules
of the anti trust statutes and a law
abolishing interlocking directorates in
big business. This Congress has
brought the agricultural department in
direct contact with and assistance to
the men and women on the farm. 1t
has provided for the building of gov
eminent railroad in Alaska to open up
that wonderful territory to civilization

A PERvERSE COMMITTEE.

A committee representing the Home
Rule and Taxpayers league have just
published pronunciamento against the
men who are conducting the democratic
free schools of the state; but have never
a word to say about the impending
danger of selfish interests taking over
the waterpowers for private purposes.
If there are good citizens in the league
they ought to wake up and rebuke their
committee.
Rightly managed under the Husting
law. the waterpowers of Wisconsin
would yield considerable revenue to the
state; and this revenue might we'll be
applied to help defray the expense of
public education.

TOLD TO THE PRINTER

Mrs. Amelia S. Wiener, Los Angeles,
Calf: Continue to send the Democrat.
The old home paper is necessity, and
we welcome and enjoy it every week.
W. r. Collins, Beloit: I will say
good for Mineral Point, and the new
Municipal building. The shops here
have been on short time for long time.
Some say the war is the cause, but I
think we could find the cause, or most
of it, at Washington, D. G. Such
stunts as the defeat of the ship purchase
bill, etc., have done their part, but I
hope we will live to see Wilson at the
head for one more term. Government
ownership of telegraphs, etc.. is what
is needed in the platform; and have a
good wide plank. All we'll with us and
trust this finds you with the best of
life.

Platteville News: The present sys-
tenn of taxing ores in the ground had
only to be made public to become very
unpopular. 1t is recognized as unjust
to the lead and zinc industry of the
state, and it's repeal seems certain. 1t
is proposed to enact law instead, re-
quiring special levy of income tax
against the royalty or rent.
Lloyd Georges famous budget in
Great Britain levied tax on mining

STAND BY THE LAW.

Senator Husting and others are to go
to Madison next Tuesday to appear be-
fore committee of the legislature and
stand between the people and the men
who want to repeal Wisconsin's water
power law and substitute for it one
more agreeable to the owners and
would be owners of dam privileges.
The legislature should not play the
good fellow. part and give over to the
waterpower interests the states vast
heritage of white coal.
1t is folly to say that the state has no
proprietary interest in the waterpowers,
and that they belong to the owners of
adjacent banks. Without the power to
condemn the property of their neigh
bors. for overflow purposes, they would
be worthless to the owners of adjacent
banks. Furthermore, waterpowers are
chiefly used at the present time for
generating electric current. And cleo
trio current has little or no value with
out the right of transmission. The
owner must be empowered to go upon
private property, as we'll as upon the
public highways, and dig holes, set
poles. run lines, and do various other
acts which no ordinary citizen can do,
before he can market his product.
These things have all been considered
and all worked out in the present
waterpower law, which is right and
just.
1t is the plain duty of the legislature
to let the waterpower law alone. 1t
should not be repealed; nor should it
be tinkered. 1t is good enough. 1t
represents the views of the best states
manship in the nation. Stand by it.

How easily we lose poise, swept by

deep enough. Consider the lily rest

LINDSEY ESCAPES
FROM COUNTY JAIL

Mandan, Nov. William Lindsey,
who was in the Bismarck jail being
held for trial next month for selling
liquor contrary to state laws, escaped
from jail when the jailer opened the
doors to go into his cell. Although
officials were notified at once and an
effort has been made to locate him,
up to the present time he has not been
apprehended.
Lindsey was arrested here during
fair week. He came here from
Steele, this state, a few days previous
to the day of his arrest. At that time
he stated that his home was in Column
bus, Ohio, and denied his guilt. He
was arraigned before Justice H. L:
Henke and his bonds were fixed at
$500. He waived examination and
not being able to secure bondsmen he
was compelled to goFto Jail.

who, so the story goes, knocked out a
young Finlander and disabled second
lad working on the Krause threshing
rig.
The crew claims he robbed one OF

knocked him out with club. He then
started on third young fellow, Fin

bad shape and putting him to sleep

When Sheriff Fahrer and Coroner
Mackenzie arrived on the scene of
conflict the colored individual seemed
dead, as he was apparently covered up
with straw and debris. They began
the collecting of witnesses, when the
sheriff noticed the man move one Of
his arms.
After bringing him back to this mum
dane sphere he was arrested ana
taken to the county jail. No COM
plant being entered against him he
was released, but was re.arrested upon
criminal charge, filed by the young
man who was relieved Of the $40. He
is now being held in durance vile

ney in the matter.

Decision Was No Surprise

Bismarck, Nov. 12.-Attorney Cen
eral Linde who has just returned, was
seen today and when asked for his
opinion of Judge Amidon's decision re.
garding the liquor injunction case
against the railroads, he said:
Il am not particularly surprised at
Judge Amidon's decision in the liquor
INFUSION cases because the question is
in fact new and novel one, yet, l do
not intend to abandon the injunction
theory until the question has been
passed upon by the United States SUI
preme court. However, these actions
have been Of substantial value because
l am satisfied now that the railroad
companies fully realize that the i'm.
portation of intoxicating liquor for II.
legal use must be absolutely discon.
tinued.
Notwithstanding the decision the
state, of course, has a powerful wea.
pom to use in enforcing the law prohi.
biting the importation of liquor in that
every agent of every carrier is sub.
ject to criminal prosecution and shall
insist on prosecutions being instituted
against every case where illegal de-
liveries are made.
In fact, the only difference since
the injunction has been dissolved is
the large cost and expense of large
number of prosecutions, while if the
injunctions were kept in force the cost
of enforcing the law would be compar-
atively small by resorting to contempt
proceedings.
II have not yet fully determined
whether an appeal will be made from
Judge Amidon's decision or not but it
is more than likely that an appeal will
be perfected"
