Last Saturday was the day of the
big annual Aluminium Goods picnic.
The parade is one of the features.
Nothing to equal it in the line of in
dustrial parades was ever seen in the
city. All the employees were iu line
divided into sections, and all in uni
form of some kind. With each section
were floats and comic stunts. There
were clowns galore and other circus
features. A big circus wagon cage
with an imitation tiger and trainer was
well gotten up but the star attraction
was a fine imitation canned with two
men inside.
AT Silver Lake the picnickers filed
up all the resorts. There was dancing
all afternoon and evening, and games
and track and field competitions for
both sexes. A "big time" vaudeville
team of acr0bats from Chicago enter
tanned the crowds. Space forbids de
tailed mention of the big affair, The
younger people danced till Sunday
morning. 1t was a big family affair
and the officers of the company min
gled all day and took part in every
thing.

BEER AND BEER

It's here aagin. A fellow can go into
any one of several places and buy an
amber fluid that is ut least called
beer" 1t isn't the glorious old + per
cent of pre-war days but, so it is al
legged, it is the pre-July brew contain
ing 30 per cent. Whether it contains
any per cent probably not one in five
who tries it can say by any known test,
certainty not the best test, mat OF thr
effect on the spirit, and powers of loco
motion. If one did not have the posi-
tive assurance of the proprietor that 1t
is really beer one would be inclined to
think he was qualing some one of the
numerous bottled bestos, Heavos or
Beeros of war times. The dealers who
are taking the chance by dispensing
this beverage are careful in insisting
that the stuff is Notwithstanding. Signs
appear in windows: Genuine Beer,
Notwithstanding for sale" The only
word of doubtful reliability is the first
word.
The theory is that under both the
war time prohibition, so-called because
it was enacted after the war was over,
and the constitutional prohibition to go
into effect next January, only "intoNl-
eating" beverages are prohibited. II
his amber fluid is Notwithstanding it
is not under the ban even if il is called
"beer" to promote its sale.
Manydealers are not taking the
chance but are conining themselves to
the near-beer in regard to which some
one lately said the inventor was poor
Judge of distance. Anyway drinking is
matter for the psychologist and if a
thirsty habitue is told he is getting the
real thing, he is often as satisfied as II
it we're true.

Local politics begin to stir little.
As usual the office most eagerly sought
for is that of sheriff. The following
names are mentioned in connection
with this Office, though the Pilot has no
direct information from any OF the
parties concerned: Henry Lehrman OF
Two Creeks, Frank Willinger" John
Judge, Frank Zeman, John Bolen and
Dan Tracy For treasurer, {. H.
Paulus and Henry Goedien are in the
field. For county clerk the ptescnt in
cumbent, l.. c. Senglaub, Bruno Muer
Ter, j. Weinfurther AMI Alex Dusold.
There are probably other candidates
for the positions named. For county
superintendent, Albert Gtlltman, \. W.
Dassler and G. NJ Morrisscy have been
suggested.

There was an abusive language case
from Tisch Mills in Municipal court
last week that brought in throng of
witnesses, some who witnessed the
events in issue and some to witness the

as She knelt in prayer in the cemetery
at the grave of relative her father
in-law, John Frish, expressed his opin-

rendered into English, was not so pure.
He denied using the phraseology cred
tied to him, and disclaimed having any
such powers of eXtempore eloquence.
After patiently listening to it all the
court explained at length how he came
to the conclusion that the defendant
was not guilty Frisch was discharged

PARKING RULE PROPOSED

Some of the city aldermen are said
to be planning real metropolitan
move by forbdding parking of auto
mobiles in certain blocks. The place
now in view is Eighth street between
the bridge and Quay on one side and
Commercial on the other where, be-
cause of the narrowing of the street
at bridge approaches and the double
car tracks, parking is something of a
nuisance. This would hit the Elks'
club members pretty hard.

ABOUT DIMMING

The city council lately ordered the
police 10 get after the motorists who
neglect to dim their lights. There was
then no state dimming law and it was
considered doubtful that the city had
authority to enforce a local regulation.
There was no way to find out how the
courts would construe the statute for
bidding local automobile laws as ap-
piled to a dimming regulation except
by trying it out in court. The police
proceeded to get busy and the first vic
tim was Albert Schuetze who was ar
rested last week. He refused to take
the trouble or bear the expense of
fighting the ordinance and pleaded
guilty and paid his ten and costs SO
the police went out the next night and
gathered in a flock of motorists with
too bright lights. They were all dis
appointing. Nobody pleaded mot
guilty" They all paid up. The vigilant
officers sailed forth once more and
hauled in bevy of brilliant lighters;
still no one with public spirit enough
to make the sacrifice of time and
money to see whether or not the law
would hold water. The easiest way
was to pay up and they all did. Then
on Saturday the state law was pub
lished and went into effect designed to
accomplish the same thing the city or
dinancc was to effect. Now the local
regulation will be bomb proof if ii IS
substantially in accord with the gen
eral law in definition of offenSe and
penalty, or is made to agree with the
state law and great opportunity for
a martyr has gone by.
Monday and Tuesday twenty-seven
persons paid fines for glaring lights
and two, Herman LEM (he didn't have
the right llind) and Albert Post plead
ed mot guilty" and their cases were
set for trial next week.

LAWYER S PICNIC.

After a lapse OF several years the
lawyers OF the county reinaugurated
their annual picnic and yesterday re-
paired to Jachimstal's at Shoto. 1t
rained nearly all day but that did not
interfere much with the gaiety. The
rumors are that three card games were
in progress and that one member OF
the bar came home considerably richer
than he went The proprietor furnish
ed the ginger ale and ice and the other
necessary ingredient was furnished in
ample quantities by member OF the
party who shall remain nameless as his
supply is not inexhaustible. The
county officers were "along" and
everybody voted to keep it up here

AFTERMATH OF WAR

The local Jewish congregation sent
to France fundsfor the support of a
French war orphan, called "adopting,
and last week Mrs. Edward Harris re-
ceiyed a letter from 7-year-old Jeanne
Poncet Marcoopt of Loire expressing
gratitude for the benefaction. 1t is a
characteristic French orphan letter,
breathing Gallo courtesy and profuse
appreciation of the donors kindness

guess, it was as far beyond a girl OF

BRIDGE BOND ISSUE CARRIES.

A very light vote was polled at the
election Tuesday on the question OF
issuing 100000 bonds for building a
bridge on 10th street. The whole
number OF votes cast VAS only 473 and
Of this number there were 400 votes
for ard "a votes against the PROPOSE
tion, so it was carried by snug major
ity and the building OF the bridge is
now certainty. But isn't it strange
that men wouldn't turn out and vote on
a question OF bonding the city for
100000. Actually Manitowoc don't
seem TO be fiji for government.

standard Of the school is kept in ad-
vance Of the standard Of the communi-
ty the standard Of the schools will be
eyerlastingly and eternally moving up
ward and forward. II there are any
who claim that they have done
enough for the schools" investigation
will show that they have never done
ANYTHING at all except such as they
may have been compelled to do, and
even at that the schools nave done
more for them than they have done Tor
the schools There is most pro-
nounced relation between the schools
and the ownership Of property; out
that relationship is exactly the oppo-
site from that which has been suggest
ed above. Property values have never
suffered on account Of contributions TO
schools, and they will never su1er on
this account On the other hand, ar
rested development Of the schools
means depreciation and retrogresslon
of property values. If property Values
are now on a standstill, which is not
admitted, it is because the school IA
cilities are at a standstill. If properly
values are to decline it will be because
school facilities will decline. II people
who own property seek the apprecia-
tion of that property they can do no
better than to put forth quick ana
more liberal efforts in behaf OF tnelr
schools.
