choking Il with butter. In this local
option matter there are two classes
very directly affected and very large
class that GIBBS or flows with the tide.
One class is made up of those who
have been put out of business. Their
interest is direct and active. Gradual
ing away from this class in the "twi-
light zone" are those whose sympa-
thies or business connections are more
or less intertwined.
On the opposite side are the positive
prohibitionists who are personally in
terested in temperance from various
causes; the preachers and teachers,
some for business reasons. some from
sentiment, some from the effects OF
liquor on themselves or family. Like
wise there graduates away from this
positive element a twilight zone" on
the other side, the peak being no mans
land where the don't care fellow"
lives and is swayed one way or the
other with the jostle or the crowd.
Blind pigs and boot leggers con,
stitute the natural crop of civic
thistles following a dry victory. They
belong to the lower strata of the first
mentioned class. They get busy with
the booze and the other fellow gets
busy with the hammer. You would ex-
pect him to do so. He has been put out
OF business and unless the fellow who
puts him out brings about a better
condition he has the argument on his
side when he Yields his hammer. Thus

THE RIGHT IDEA

CONGRESSMAN Frank James has the
right idea. He declines TO join his
colleagues in their wasteful practice
OF cluttering the mails with govern
ment documents, OF all sorts and de-
scriptions, which are allotted in ten
lots to members of Congress to send
back "hum" to duly impress consti-
tuents with their Importance and hold
them in line for the next election. He
Is willing, OF course, to send such
truck TO all who want 1t, but only
to those who express that desire. So,
in this issue OF The News, he has an
advertisement. listing all the govern
ment publications he has access TO,
and requesting that the ones wanted
be checked off and the list sent to
him. No others will get anything in
that line. And this includes garden
seeds, too. The congressman doesn't
intend 10 send out lot or perfectly
good seeds to bachelors or snybdy
else who cannot use them. The gov
eminent uses an enormous amount OF
perfectly good paper and barrels OF
printers ink every year turning out
reports and kindred stun that invar-
iably find their way TO the waste
basket OF the recipient. And that hap
pens after all the expense not only OF
production but OF handling.
. II all congressman followed Frank
James initiative in this matter the
government deficit would be consld
erably reduced each year. And they
would be just as popular with their
constituents. perhaps more so,-Calu

WENT OFF PREMATURELY

When Tom Conlin wrote: 'If Iron
county goes wet again 1t will not be
from the demand OF those who want a
drink but OF those who want to profit
by selling drinks" he wasn't thinking
how that would sound in the ears OF
his readers. Tom was simply rushing
copyto the printers without doing any
thinking at all, for surely the people
engaged in liquor spreading are not in
the majority In Iron Iron Ore.
To the contrary, Brother Newett, we
never took more deliberate aim in our
life than when we peaned the above.
We do not, by ans means claim that
the liquor spreaders" are in the ma
iority.
We find, as Pete Kyne says, that
are many ways OF killing cat besides

From All The comment m.aa unon

From all the comment made upon
the local liquor situation. outsiders
may get the opinion that Iron county
is worse from it's dry victory than 1t
would have been had II remained wet.
Don't you believe it. II Iron county
should go wet again It will be a differ
ent wet county than IL was before.
II takes some of the bitter with the
sweet to round out life and we doubt
very much that the present condition
will rule for two years. There1l be an
awakening some day.

the campaign progresses. Its success
or failure depends upon how live the
other pole is. II there is dead battery
on that side the current is all one way.
That's the condition in Iron at the
present time. That's the reason why
we said that II the county goes wet
again II will be because OF those who
want TO sell drinks rather than those
who want TO drink

PROHIBITION IN IRON


Our neighboring county OF Iron,
where Pat O'Brien ana Tom Conlin
hold forth and stage their periodical
scraps is just at present very much In
the limelight. on account OF the situa-
ton there as regards the prohibition
question Last spring local option
election was held In Iron and the
county went dry. all the saloons in tho
county being closed up and put out OF
business This, however. failed TO re-
suit in any great drought In our
neighboring county for as soon as the
licensed saloons were closed the bird
pigs sproSted up like mushrooms an
they have fiourished to remarkable
degree. The blind piggers have been
arrested frequently and Ii is claimed
that there was no lack OF evidence
against them, but nevertheless II has
proved impossible to convict any OF
them, the juries in every case return
ing verdict OF not guilty Hence the
present situation in Iron county is
that. instead OF having the licensed
saloon. which paid for the privilege OF
selling liquor and observed the laws
at least to a degree. they have the
blind pigs. which pay nothing and have
no regulations whatever, selling liquor
at all times. Sundays and all night, 10
minors or any person that has the
price.
AS a result OF this situation Editor
Conlin of the Crystal Falls Diamond
Drill came out in the recent issue OF
his paper in an editorial headed "Or
the Fence No Longer" and boldly
stated that prohibition had proved
failure In Iron county. II seems that
Mr.. Conlin had been "on the fence"
on this proposition heretofore, but,
after having observed the course or
events for some time. has fully decided
that prohibition was failure. as far
as Iron county Is concerned. his rea-
son being that he prefers the licensed
saloon, paying a revenue 10 the city
and having some sort OF regulation, to
the blind pigs, paying no revenue and
with no regulations whatever
II must be considered, however. that
Mr.. Conlin does not contend that ibe-
cause prohibition has proved failure
in Iron county that this will necessar-
lily be the case In other counties. as IL
appears TO have been principally the
fact that IL has proved impossible TO
convict any OF the blind piggers In
Iron that has caused the present situa-
ton In that county II would naturally
seem that with properly efficient off,
GERS there should be little difficulty in
convicting persons OF violation OF the
liquor law in Iron. or any other
county. II sufficient evidence was
available. unless public sentiment
was almost unanimously against the
enforcement OF the law--and this
would hardly seem to be the case in
Iron. in view of the majority returned
at the election last spring in favor of
local option. There would appear TO
be gentleman OF color concealed in
the wood pile in Iron In connection
with this blind pig matter -Ironwood

joys the former kind. To pi a pie

We don't know that Tom Conlin
editor of the Crystal Falls Diamond
Drill really meant TO perform such an
atrocity for the Iron River brother.
but he started out in a very crusty
sort OF manner Pat reports every
thing lovely In his town. saying II is
altogether the best in that region.
The only dark spot on the sun I'm his
section is the fact that the county Is
dry and no one can prove H. He says
that the cars in that country make n
fearful racket and that some people
are afraid OF them We don't know
whether he referred TO railway cars
or TO automobiles. but II It's the latter
their mufiiers should be made effec-
tive. There's lot OF talk in Iron Just
now over blind piggers Well. there
always has been blind pigs there we
take II. even when the saloons were
doing business under the law Those
blind piggers have been defying the
law for years Pat Is soon to put
linotype In his ONCE and when he has
done this he will be able to take care
OF any Of the FIRE from his opposition
and do a little bayonet work on his
own account. So the rest OF the pro-
fession In that section had better

The keroseners, who used to come
to us provided with all the things
they needed for their annual deer
hunt. including cornmeal and straw,
are not coming to us in such large
numbers this fall, this for the reason
that they will be permitted to kill
and take home only one deer, where
formerly they could kill two. For
two deer they would come because
they could figure out that the venI-
son would repay them. Now they can't
get the former meat quantity, and the
venison per man per season is not
sufficient to warrant their going into
the woods Their staying away will
reduce the chances for accident con-
We will miss them, but we
will not mourn them. -Ishpemlng Iron
