GOING DRY

1t is becoming more and more ap-
parent that the state of Wisconsin is
going dry at the first opportunity that
the people of the state have to vote
on the question. Why is this so? The
saloon keepers in particular are res
ponsible for this condition. They ap-
pear to be of the opinion that the lis
cense that they enjoy given them by
the authorities of the state are con-
stantly violated by them. Recently in
this county several arrests occurred
because the saloon keepers persisted
in keeping open on the Sabbath day.
Every little while there is some sa-
loon keeper up before the authorities
who pleads guilty to selling liquor to
minors. Then again there are some
who are up before the authorities and
plead guilty to selling to posted men.
And again others selling liquor to
Indians All of these are violations
of their liscense law. Some Of the sa-
loon keepers seem to think that be-
cause they pay 5000 a year for the
privilege of selling liquor that they
have the right to violate all laws.
This conduct on their part is what is
causing even the men who drink mod
erately and who are friendly to the
saloon when properly conducted, they
are voting for dry conditions. If the
state of Wisconsin goes dry it will be
because those who are dealing in the
liquor traffic are bringing it upon
themselves. Let the dry condition
come, the sooner the better.
1t now looks as if congress would
legislate in favor of a national dry
law It's sale is a menace to the war
conditions and now is a good time to
bring it about, and let the nation solve
the question for better or for worse

New Fire Engine House.

There has been considerable discus
sion in reference to the location of the
new fire engine house. Many cites
have been talked about and discussed,
but none of them have been so favor
able for such building as the one
that has been selected by the Fire
Company themselves, and endorsed by
the good judgment of the Board of
Public Works, and that's the building
lot which was purchased by the city
year ago, which in our judgment is
the finest location, for such building,
in the city of Grand Rapids, and that
is the one at the head of Second street
facing the east side market square.
This lot was purchased purposely for
this building and you couldn't find
more suitable location for such a build
ing, because the space in front of it
is the most roomy of any other loca-
ton in the city. The congestion of
traffic at the east end of the bridge is
all that locality will stand. If the ar
gument in reference to the fire engine
house is good to have it located on Oak
street, the same argument would hold
good for the city hall that is now be-
ing erected in a fairly good location
on the west side. The time is coming
when Grand Rapids will have to have
another bridge, whether they want it
now, or not, and more of our public
buildings should be located in refer
ence to the center of population on
the east and west side. If the new
post office building is to be located on
the west side it ought not to face on
Grand Avenue, and if it's to be locat-
ed on the east side, it should be Iocat-
ed two or three blocks from the east
end of the bridge. This idea of GEN.
Trailing everything in the line of
public buildings near the east and
west end of the bridge is a mistaken
idea, and ought not to be successful.

Unconstitutional.

The newspaper men of the state Of
Wisconsin are very much put out, with
Governor Philips action in vetoeing
that bill which was passed by the leg
islature which gave the daily and week
ly newspapers, or such of them as de-
sired to, make contracts with the rail
road companies to exchange advertis-
ing for transportation on the railroads
to the amount of $4,000 for any one
year. The question of constitution
atty by the Governor is far fetched
and the newspaper men can hardly be-
lieve that phase of the question is the
true reason for the Governors veto.
Before the passage of the bill by the
legislature they investigated this fea-
ture of the law and the Governor could
at least have signed the bill and al
lowed the newspaper men to take the
chances on the constitutionality of the
law. We don't believe that the Gov
ernor has strengthened himself a
mong the newspaper fraternity by his
going out of his way to attach his We
to to this law. Some men when they
get in Office and are given power, it
initiates their magnitude to such a de-
gree that they lose their good judg-
ment in the transaction Of what is pub
lie interest and public good to their in
dividual Importance.
