did not have time to transfer their
goods away from the country or could
not procure the necessary help.

Dealers to Test Law.
At a meeting of the liquor dealers
OF the county this law was charged
to be unjust and it is alleged that
they agreed that on November /,
when the law went into effect, to
store their goods and that on Novem-
Der :, they should bring out their
goods again for sale in order that a
test case could be made of the law.
The liquor dealers cause for Criti-
cism of the law is said to have arisen
from the fact that their licenses did
not expire until the first of May, 1911.
The pile Of confiscated beverages
that lay guarded all Friday night in

LEADERS FAVOR
LA AFOLLETTE'S
WAR TAX IDEA
Congress Likely to Switch
to Excess Profits for Rails
ing Huge Sum.
By JOHN C. MELLETT.

Somebody is going to steal Senator
La Follette's thunder. There is a lot
of his thunder nobody would have,
but there is one particular cioudfui
for which several United States Sem
ators already are scrambling. 1t con-
sists of his campaign to raise war
funds by heavier taxation and lighter
bond sales.
Congress went away a few weeks
ago. exhausted after having author
ICED war expenditures totallng $21, ,OOO,-
$4,000 for the fiscal year ending June
o., 1916.
Congress is coming back six weeks
hence, to tackle the task of raising
So, 90, ,O00, 900 more. and apportioning it
with the original 81. 900, ,O0O.O6 over a
period Of two years ending June 30,
1918.
How to Raise Money.
Here is where Senator La FolIette's
thunder comes in. With the stagger-
ing figures to the provided, the ques-
ton naturally arises-"How?"
The difficulty is conceded to lie in
the raising of $D,OO0,Oo0O00 by bond
sales. Experts assert the country posi-
lively cannot assimilate that amount
in two years. 1t would be ruinous,
they say. Even IL it could be done,
some consideration should be given to
the problem of meeting interest and
principles on all the loans in after
years.
Casting about for a way out of the
difficulty, conservative leaders find
nothing but Senator LaFollette's ex-
cess war profits taxes. Since he made
his bitter fight for the war profits
plan in the last session. and was de-
feated time after time, two things
have developed:
First. that the administration really,
in secret, sympathize with the La
Toilette plan but deemed it inadvis-
able to support him.
Approval Placed on Plan.
Second, that conservative leaders,
while opposing him openly, confiden-
TALLY declared his plan was the most
scientific war revenue producer Con-
gress had seen.
At this session, it is predicted, the
administration forces. both Democra-
tic and progressive Republicans like
Senators BOrah and Johnson, will sup
port the La Toilette war profits idea.
1t is rumored now, however, that La
Toilette and his friends will take an
advanced stand for taxing war prof
its SO heavily it will amount to vir-
tually complete conscription.

SAY SLAIN MAN
WAS MURDERED

Mike Midach, who was killed by Pc
ter Stepanovich during an argument
in the latter's store at Mayville on
October 21st, was wanted for murder
in three cities, and his partner, Dan
Radich, who is held as a witness also
involved in at least one murder case.
says a dispatch from Fond du Lac.
Chief of Police Nolan of the latter city
has received reports 20 that effect.
These reports show that Madich was
implicated in murders at Steubens-
vile, Ohio, Sharon, Pa, and Mercer,
Pa, and that Radich was connected
..iCn a murder at Sharpsville, Pa. Ste
panovich who is charged with kill
ing Madich, has been released on bail
furnished by Mayville citizens, and
will be tried at the February term of
the circuit court for Dodge county.
He will plead that he shot in self de-
tense.
According to the current report, the
information above recited was brought
out in an investigation by Chief No
ian, whom it is said took Bertillion

both men and sent copies to different
parts Of the country. AS a result it is
claimed he received information

MANN WHITE SLAVE
LAW IS SUSTAINED

The United States supreme court
Tuesday held that the Mann white
slave law applies to non-commercial
vice and is constitutional in uphold
ing the state court trials resulting in
convictions of Maury I. Diggs, F.
Drew Caminetti and L. T. Hayes for
violtion Of the law.
The question before the supreme
court was one Of Interpretation of the
Mann law.
Diggs and Caminetti, sentenced to
prison and fined for transporting Lola
Norris and Martha Warrington to an
other state from their California
homes, pleaded in their appeals that
the law was not intended to apply to
nOn-cOmmercial vice.
L. T. Hayes, convicted of transport
ing a girl from Oklahoma City, Okla,
to Wichita, Kas., appealed his con-
viction on a similar plea. All the men
were married.
The case itself was one Of the most
this country. Former Senator Joseph
w Bailey was chief counsel for the
defense in the supreme court hearing,
with Assistant Atty.-Gen. Wallace act
ing for the government.
Dozens of convictions under the
Mann law hinged on the decision.
With the Mann law applying only
to commercial vice, it would be i'm
possible to obtain a conviction if a
man transported a woman across a
state line for immoral purposes, unless
money consideration was proved

WHO WOULDN'T BE An Editors?

The editor of a good Michigan week
| ~ takes occasion in a recent issue to
tell his readers that there is joy and
satisfaction to be found in his job,
even if there are people who miscon-
| strue the motives that prompt him to
| print some of the things he does. This
| IS how he puts it:
One fellow stopped his paper be-
cause he couldn't stand the Ledger's
dry editorials; and 672 others re-
newed their subscriptions with express
5ions of confidence and good will dur
ing October and November.
Another fellow grumbled because
the Ledger supported a local man for
a county office. The Ledger has al
ways favored home candidates and it
probably always will 1t befriends its
friends. Why shouldn't it That's the
way we keep our friends-by deserv-
ing them.
Still another fellow bowls because
we stood by a neighbor when he was
in trouble What are friends good for
if you can't find them when you want
them? And he's going to ball us Quit"
Well well! Wonder what that is :?
Anyhow, it won't be for knitting our
friend in the back. Come on with your
old ball game! 1t will be good ad-
Vertising for Uncle Marcus
Then here's the sissy who thinks
it was slammed by our Sunday movie
editorial. Great Scott! If we hadn't
more sense than that, we'd eat fish
and then more fish. But here, again,
it's hundreds to one in our favor. For
when we plead for home, morals and
a reasonable prudence against per
petual spending and gadding about,
we are pleading the cause of all the
people.
"The church is a good institution,
but if the preachers tried to run them
every night in the year and lead people
to neglect their business, their fam
lilies and their homes, we would pro-
test against it; and it would be per-
fectly right.
Same with the moving picture
theatres. We believe they have a good
and legitimate. purpose in the COM
munity, that they can be made of
great moral and educational value as
well as merely amusing: and we have
tried to encourage shows of that char
acter We've been friendly to theatres
and managers and have asked the
public to encourage them to give us
their best
This doesn't mean that they should
monopolize week nights and Sundays
also. Let us all be satisfied with a
good thing and a fair shake and leave
the people a little money to pay gro
Gerry, fuel and rent bills, a little more
for the rainy day that is sure to
come, and at least one day in the week
COR other things
Don't believe it, brother The
Ledger isn't 'slamming' 1t is simply
standing for the right-as we see it
just as we always have done; and just
as we always will
That's the joy and satisfaction of
being an editor worth while and be-
ing willing to stand up and be 'baIled
out if need be, for principle
And those 672 jolly, good people
who swelled our heart with kind
words and our bank account with
hard cash, proved to us that the pol
icy is sound
who wouldn't be an editor?"
