Rules on Liquor Sales.

The having in possession liquor in
a dry territory cannot be prosecuted
under the statutes unless it can be
shown TO be the result of direct solicit
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 Washbnrn 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 a 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 u
sale in the latter's territory and there
fore not illegal. IT, however, the sale
was made by means of the shipper s
agents calling on the party or by writ
ten solicitation, it is a sale in dry teri j.
tory and the district attorney can pro ).
ecute.

Guard Vote Cost $643.5e.

1t cost the state of Wisconsin about
SGT apiece to obtain the vote of the
militiamen on the border, according to
an estimate by the secretary of states

Al, and the expenses of the messeng-
ers who went to San Antonio to over
see the casting of the ballots brought
the total up to $643.59.
This is comparatively small cost,
as in one of the eastern states the
cost of obtaining the militia vote was

New institution Badly Needed.


for the feeble-minded at Union

1T is important that this institution
be opened for the admission of inmates
at an early date" says the statement,
''fOr the reason that there are large
number of persons who have been COM
mitted to the Wisconsin home for the
feeble-minded, who cannot be received
on account of lack of room. The new
buildings now under construction will
have capacity of 1OS inmates and
will to some extent relieve the press
ing demand for admission of feeble
minded persons. During the last three
or four years a larger number of adult
inmates have been transferred from
the Wisconsin Home for Predetermined

to make room for children who were
badly in need of institutional care.
1T is wisdom upon the part of the
state to make provision for the care
Of feeble-minded persons because that
is the only way that the increase of
this class can be prevented, and it is
economy to use every endeavor to
make every provision to minimize the
production of this class, which will al
ways be a public burden. The num-
Der of persons afflicted with epilepsy is
rapidly increasing and extensive pro-
visions for their treatment and care
are contemplated in the new home for
feeble-minded and epileptics. 1t is
likely that the new buildings will be
ready for occupancy in the spring of

ture make liberal biennial apprOpria-
lions for increasing the capacity of this
