Bonar Law Asserts
Wilson's Methods
Won't Bring Peace

London, Jan. IA. Bonar Law,
chancellor Of the exchequer and mem
bcr OF the British war council de-
clared in speech at Bristol today
that President Wilson's peace aims
were shared by the entente allies, but
that under the circumstances other
means must be taken to obtain peace
and that it was impossible to consent
to peace that leaves Germany's mill
tary machine unbroken.
Mr.. Benar Law declared that as
President Wilson's purpose TO achieve
peace at present and i'll the future also
was the aim Of the entente, therefore
the presidents proposal should not be
regarded as utopian. But, he con-
tinucd, in view OF Germany's manner
of conducting the war and also of the
fact that the neutral nations failed to
protest against its methods, other
steps than those outlined by the presi-
dent were necessary to obtain peace.

ments of modern naval warfare there
are no reasons why Great Britain
should not meet and discuss the whole

likely to diminish in proportion as the
size and efficiency Of submarine mcr-
chant men increase and the menace
of long distance submarine warships

these factors are reasons for sur
rendering any valuable rights, it re-
CARDS them as reasons for a willing

on President Wilson's speech, de-
clares that it considers ii state

drawn with the utmost care and de-

Has the president reason to know

prepared to concede all the other
terms which, with no less emphasis,
he declares to be essential if the
United States is to join in guaran-

The Guardian surmises that the

Rules on Liquor Sales.

The having in possession liquor in
dry territory cannot be prosecuted
under the statutes unless it can be
shown to be the result of direct solici-
tatiOn on the part of the liquor dealer
in another town, according to an Opin-
ion given by Assistant Attorney J. E.
Messerschmidt to L. M. Head, district
attorney of WaShburn county.
"There is no statute in Wisconsin
prohibiting the importing of intoXicat-
ing liquors into dry territory nor is
there a statute prohibiting having in
possession such liquor. There is, how
ever, provision in Section 1865 which,
if violated, may be the means of pros
ecuting some of the parties who are
importing Intoxicating liquors."
This section provides that if the
party having the liquor sends a direct
written order to the shipper, it is
sale in the latter's territory and there
fore not illegal. If, however, the sale
was made by means of the shippers
agents calling on the party or by writ
ten solicitation, it is a sale in dry terri
tory and the district attorney can pros
ecute.

If They Could Keep 1t Up.

There have been big men in Wall
street who did all the work themselves,
who attended to every minute item /;
who were from Missouri in regard to
each point in any proposition put up
to them. One of these marvels was
among the very greatest financiers the
country ever had; but he didn't last
long, and there have been few others
like him. If man with the first or
der of brains and ability could only
keep it up, there is nothing to pre-
vent his owning the United States. If
e. Ii. Hartman could have kept on
10 or 20 years longer at the pace he
was going he would have gobbled up
all the railroads in sight, and he was
just getting a strangle hold on the big
banks. He conquered every square
foot of territory as he went along.
There was no force on earth to stop
him except premature death-and now
he is almost forgotten.-A. w. Atwood
in the Saturday Evening Post.

Would Aid Divorced Mothers.

Aid should be provided for the de-
pendent children of worthy mother
even though she be divorced from her
husband, according to recommended
ton made in the biennial report of the
board of control In practically all
eases where the mother has been di-
vorced and the custody of the children
given to her, she is a worthy person to
have charge of them.
"The home is the proper place to
bring up q child because the home
produces the highest class of citizens
No child should be removed from
home in which there are good moral
conditions and proper environments,
even though the child be dependent
Institutions are not the best places in
which to rear children, as children so
reared become institutiOnized and lose
interest in the attractiveness of home
life. No person has the same infiu-
ence upon a child as it's mother and no
child should be removed from the home
of a mother who is competent and
worthy 1t should be borne in mind
that children who are sent to a state
school must ne maintained at public
expense and That the cost is as great
or nearly as great as maintaining them
in their homes"
Since the enactment of the new law
in August, 1915, until December 81,
1915, there was 694 families aided
The aggregate amount expended by the
counties was $24, 457.2& and by the
