HABITUAL DRUNKARDS
BETTER LOOK OUT

Judging from what happened to
James Graham Wednesday in Justice of
the Peace Adolph Andro's court, habit
ual drunkards in Sauk county may re-
ceive long prison terms instead of the
shorter Jail sentences they have been
given in the past. Graham was ar
rested on complaint of District Attor
ney J. H. Hill on the charge of habitual
drunkenness and was bound over to the
circuit court for trial He now languish-
es in jail being unable to furnish bail
andhis case will probably come up later
before Judge E. Ray Stevens.
District Attorney Hill and Judge An
dro are taking new stand toward
habitual drunkards or 'repeaters" as
they are called and will make an effort
to rid the city of these perpetual drunk
ards who are unable to properly care
for themselves and are menace to So
ciety. 1t does no good to send them to
jail for few days as they are soon
back again in court.
A sentence of one year in Waupun
for professional drunks is made possible
by article 4738 of the statutes of Wis
consin. Under this statute any person
convicted of drunkenness number of
times may be sentenced to Waupun for
one year.

other car came along and the passen-
gers alighted, two masked men sprang
from cover and robbed the party. Their

PLEASING PROGRAM
At CAMP FIRE

The camp fire program of the fiftieth
anniversary of the joint reunion of the
18th and 10Th Regiments of Wisconsin
volunteers was held at the Baptist
church Wednesday evening and was
enjoyed by large audience. The
church was nicely decorated with flags
and cut flowers in honor of the boys in
blue.
1t was pleasing sight to see so
many old soldiers there, although some
were halt and some were blind and
some were deaf, but their faces were
beaming with the joy of meeting their
old comrades. During some of the
most touching "reminiscences, handker-
chiefs were much in evidence.
Mortimer Hoover and George Paddock
acted as ushers and wore the coat of
blue. Superintendent A. c. Kingsford
introduced the speakers.
w. J.McKay of Madison, department
commander of the G. A r of Wiscon-
Gin, gave very fine address. Among
other things he said that the American
citizens were to be commended for the
stand they had taken with President
Wilson on his peace movement. He
said the voter had forgotten whether
Wilson was a Republican or Democrat.
He believed in the theory Of Teddy
Roosevelt who said Speak softly but
carry big stick" He added, the peo-
pie were constantly talking of the death
of the old soldiers and he did not like to
hear it. That while death is certai n
ty, he would rather think of living and
making the best of living.
H. w. Rood of Madison, patriotic in
structor of the State of Wisconsin,
spoke on the home coming and remini-
scences of the Civil War. He said this
company rode from Delton through
Baraboo in thirteen farm wagons and
when they were near the old courthouse
in Baraboo they fired off cannon and
this he called their firstbattle. He told
of many hardships endured and of how
anxious they were to go home to see
their mothers, wives and sisters and the
other fellows sister. After tour years
they returned to Madison on flat cars
one dark night in pouring rain and
surely got good washing.
w. O. Pietzsch of Madison also spoke
on the same subject. He enlisted
from Baraboo and among other things
he said he was always proud to remem-
Der that it was a Wisconsin regiment,
the 18th Wisconsin, that placed the
stars and strips on the southern capi-
tol.
A reading by Armeta Peterson, "The
Shruggins Cow was much enjoyed.
Only six members of the double quar-
tette were present but they rendered
'Keautiful Flag" very nicely, and re
piled to the encore by singing, Native
Land :"
Miss Maude Frazer delighted the au-
dience with a humorous reading entitl-
ed q della and the White Plague.
Frank Pettys, drummer boy of
New Lisbon who enlisted at Reeds
burg at the age of eleven years and
eleven months, also gave very inter-
esting talk.
The campfire was closed by the entire
company singing "The Star Spangled
Banner, "
