DRY AMENDMENT is THE ISSUE
The Big Matter That Engages Wis
cousin Legislators

The state legislative session opened
last Wednesday with little of excite
ment and few contests. In the organ
ization Hon. Riley S. Young was elect
ed speaker of the assembly, C. +.
Shaefer chief clerk, I. C. Gretney
sergeant-at-arms. In the senate Sem
ator w. I. Stevens was made presi-
dent protein, the writer chief clerk,
and Col. John Turner of Mauston, SER
geant-at-arms.
In committee assignments our SEN
ator J. Henry Bennett, drew first hon
or by being made chairman of the
most important committee, that of
corporations, which deals with insur-
ance, corporation, banking and other
kindred subjects. Last session he was
chairman of the committee on judici-
airy. Our representative in the as
sembly, Mr.. Carter, made the nomin-
ating speech for Speaker Young. He
will draw one of the big committee
ships in that house.
Mr.. Carter was made chairman of
the big committee on transportation
and a member on state affairs. Thus
our county Representatives take first
rank in working and important COM
mittee assignments.
The first far-reaching piece of leg
islation TO engage attention of solons
is the Federal prohibition amendment,
which seeks to make the whole nation
bone-dry. The legislation was intro
duced in the senate Immediately after

on Wednesday, to be addressed by
William J. Bryan and other notables.
| During the past week the state leg

for the great Badger commonwealth
to follow suit.

SOUGHT TO REACH HEARTS
Doctor Holmes Literary Efforts Well
Described by the Writer Of
Authors and Friends"

Doctor Holmes social nature, as ex-
pressed in conversation and in his
books, drew him into communication
with very large number of persons.
1t cannot be said, however, in this age
marked by altruisms. that he was al
truistic; on the contrary. he loved
himself and made himself his prime
study-but as member Of the human
race. He had his own purposes to
fulfill, his own self-appointed tasks.
and he preferred to take men only on
his own terms. He was filled with
righteous indignation, In reading Car
lyle, to find passage where, hearing
the doorbell ring one morning when
he was very busy. he exclaimed that
he was afraid 1t was "the man Emer-
son!" Yet Doctor Holmes was him
self one of the most carefully guarded
men, through his years Of actual pro-
duction, who ever lived and wrote.
His wife absorbed her life in his, and
mounted guard to make Hure that In
terruption was impossible. Neverthe-
less he was eminently a lover Of men.
or he could not have drawn them per-
petually to his side. His writings were
never aimed too high; his sole wish
was to hit the heart, If possible; but
If shot hit the head also he showed
a childlike pride in the achievement

the effect Of moving picture Of those
ancient days embalmed in stone as II
BY some sudden enchantment.
History Wrought In Stone.
Chapter by chapter the entire his
tory Of the Dacian campaigns is re-
vealed, with a continuity Of thought
and precision Of historical facts and
verify of detail that are marvellous.
The building of bridges, the natural
difficulties Of the country in which
the wars were fought, the methods Of
siege and storm, advance and at
tack by land and river, in open field
and against walled cities, the details
Of ancient military engineering, cos
tune, arms and all implements Of
war, all these things are wrought there
with such wonderful fertility of de-
sign and dramatic vigor Of expression
as to form a veritable encyclopedia
Of Roman warfare of that period.
The whole of the column was origi.
nally covered with gold and color.
Brilliant crimson, blue and yellow were
largely used for the reliefs forming
the main shaft and must have pre-.
sented an appearance of barbaric
splendor in the days Of their pristine
chromatic glory. Nor was this drama
in stone enacted with its Hamlet left
out. The figure Of Trajan Is every.
where with predominant appeal. The
localized emperor Is presented under
all sorts Of conditions that were cal
culated to rebound to his glory, as
the warrior leading his hosts, as the
master engineer directing the mechan,
ical constructions, as leader of scout
ing forces, as soldier sharing the
hard lot of his fellow soldiers, as the
little father of his country" lead

PROHIBITION HAS UNCOVERED A
NEW SUGAR SUBSTITUTE.

Malt sugar syrup is a new sweet
which has arrived on a commercial
scale at the psychological moment to
relieve the sugar shortage, the Blu
reau of Chemistry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, announced
to-day. In addition to being a sweet,
malt sugar syrup has a delicious fla
vor somewhat resembling that of
honey, which adds much to its palata-
bility and value as a sugar substi
tute.
While malt sugar has long been
known to chemists, its production on
a commercial scale is only beginning
Two factors have stimulated it's pro-
duction recently The shortage of
sugar has developed a market for it.
and the recent prohibition law has
made available both the raw mate
rial and the machinery needed for it's
manufacture. Malt sugar syrup is
made from the same grains as beer
and may be made from corn or pota
toes or any plant containing starch.
Barley, which was used until recent
ly in the manufacture of beer, can be
used now to produce malt sugar
syrup.
Breweries with very little change,
can be used and are now being used
for its manufacture. Up to certain
point the process for making malt
sugar syrup is the same as the proc
ess for making beer. Evaporating
pans is the principal additional equip
ment required by breweries to be-
come maltsugar syrup factories. The
wholesale price is to 8 cents

MAJOR S. WOOD McCLARE CHAL-

WATER ON ROADS.

Major S. Wood McClare has sent
the following letter to the Edgewa-
ter Mayor and Council:
mo doubt you are aware Of the
condition that the roads in your mu-
nicipality are in as everyone else who
uses them knows to their discomfort,
as the ruts are so numerous that it is
impossible for wagon or automobile
to avoid them especially on Under
cliff avenue. The grade on this ave-
nue., especially on the east side, is so
steep that it is wonder to me that
vehicles do not slip down in wet or
snowy weather and overturn. The
EMgewater hill is also in a very bad
condition and it must strain the bolts
of every automobile that goes up or
down that hill. l am really surprised
that SO rich a borough as yours
should allow your street conditions
to continue as they are, not only for
the reputation of your borough but for
the relief of the many people who
use your roads.
81 think | am quite safe in stating
that in their present shape they are
the worst roads of any municipality
in Bergen county and yet you are re-
puted to be and, no doubt are, the
richest borough in the State"
