First Prohibition Act.

The first prohibitive measure was
that Of the Saxon King Edgar. who,
nearly a thousand years ago. on the al
vice .of Dunstan, put down many ale
houses allowing only one to exist in
any Village or small town and Mt the
same time limiting the drafts of the
drinkers. The common drinking cup
Of that day held about two quarts,
and Edgar had eight pegs placed ut
stated distances in each cup, heavy
penalties being imposed on those who
drank from one peg to another at each
time. Neither the working nor the ~
suit Of the act encouraged Edgars sue.
cessors TO further action. aud the next
prohibitive legislation on the sale OF
liquor is due to Henry VII, who. by
an act against vagabends and beggars
in the year 1875. gave power to any
two justices Of the peace to stop the
common selling Of strong ale in towns
and any other places they thought nee

Value of Education.

every day spent in school the chill
tren earn 50.
This statement was made by Wis
consin's state superintendent, who
bases his estimate ON the official rec
ocds of the bureau of education mt
Washington. Here is what he offers
as proof of the statement:
"Uneducated labOrers cara on the
average $500 a year for forty years, a
Total Of $4,000.
High school graduates earn on an
average $1,000 year for forty years,
total Of $4,000.
"This education requires twelve years
Of school Of $50 days each, a total OF
200 days. IF 2,160 days at school add
$4,000 to the income for life. then
each day at school adds 5000,
"Forceful rs This standardization of
earnings Is" said the superintendent,
1T tells but one side of the story-the
money side Back Of this can lie seen
improved standards Of living, more in
telligent and progressive communities
and a stronger national life. "-Chica-

World FaUors Buckner
Ethridoa WnrlAA

Nh'IhiuSe Worlu)
Ralph V. Buckner, who is
a candidate for reelection
on the Republican ticket as
county surveyor, is at this
time unable to campaign in
his own behalf, owing to the
fact that he is serving his
country on the Mexican
border. Mr.. Buckner is un-
questionablv the logical man
or this office. We say, this
not because we entertain any
prejudice against any of the
other candidates, but for the
reason that Mr.. Buckner has
not only had the education
necessary for the position,
but he has actual experience,
not only in his office, but in
the government service.
The charge has been cir
culated that Mr.. Buckner
has been extravagant. We
fail to see how this charge
can be laid on him, when he
is paid only for such time as
the commissioners order him
to work and then his COM
pensation is fixed by law. If
he is to be made the goat
for the extravaganza OF
others it is only fair that the
people of this county should
know it. If anyone is to
blame for the alleged ex-
travagance of the surveyors
office it is the county COM
missioners, not the county
surveyor.
NIT. BuCkner has at all
times sought to safeguard
the interests of the people
and to save money for the
county. He fought the
building of an auto road In
the west end of the county
for the reason that he did
not believe that the county
was financially able to build
the road at this time, and
felt that the money SO spent
could be better applied in
the betterment of roads
already allowed or in
building roads for the tax
payers of the county.

AUe Thomas!
We hail with exceeding
|joy the return of Tom Busev
to the high and holy calling
of journalism. Like Peter
Grim of the story, Tom
wandered away from the
Independent, to seek quiet,
shelter and rest, when De-
mocracy and the New Free
dom came in upon the stage
and secured the postmaster
ship. But neither rest nor
peace found Tom. People
wanted him to lick their
stamps, wrap their packages
and furnish them with first
and second class mail when
they had none coming. He
found that they asked him
far more irrelevant and i'm
material questions on alb
stract topics than when he
was IN the news paper office.
His soul seddened, he became
weary of the routine and
longed for the hum of the
presses and the confidential
tips from from the Wise
Heads who come down to
the shop to tell him how to
print a better paper. He has
quit the federal confection-
airy counter and stuck his
fingers into the printers ink
can with that old enthusiasm
that surpasseth understanding
We are glad that Tom is
for good. We hope
he will write his own editor
and that he will flaw us
republican editors without
conjunction or compromise.
1t will be refreshing to know
there is one democrat
who is not too proud to do
a little fighting. Busey has
ability and pugnacity and we
he will use both during
the present unpleasantness.
