not the first report OF the kind and II
is high time that something should be
done to stop h. What Iron county
motorists should do is TO form a mo-
tor club for the purpose OF protecting
its members from thieves and road
hogs.
With a strong motor cub OF about
100 members, each one a special po-
liceman to protect the other members
of the association. it would be but a
very short time until everyone would
be safe either in allowing a car to
stand by the road or In driving on

police to give protection. the field is
too broad. Let's combine and stop

PAvILIoNs AND IMMORTALITY

The Iron Rivers r-stambaugh Report
err in its-issue OF two weeks ago, made
mention OF sermon preached by Rev.
Father Lenhart OF Iron River In
which he admonished parents OF his
congregation 10 keep their daughters
away from certain pavilions and
dance houses in the territory sur
rounding Iron River. In last weeks
issue OF TIE Reporter the proprietor
OF one of the pavilion is reported as
denying the accusations made against
his place and at the same time giving
utterance TO some acrid remarks that
would better have not been said and
certainly better II not printed.
1t is to be regretted that any such
controversy should have occurred.
Father Lenhart had the welfare Of the
young girls of his parish at heart
when he gave out the warning and,
no doubt, the warning was made In
a general way, not a specific one that
could be construed into accusing the
proprietor of any pavilion Of aiding
or abetting immortality. There is too
much OF a tendency TO spit out re-
venge at a priest or minister who in
his duty OF defending his flock from

BEERS AND LIGHT WINES

The American people are against
the return OF the saloon. That much
is conceded on every hand. The only
exceptions to this general rule are a
few hangover saloon keepers who
hope, more than they expect, that
something may turn up to bring back
| the old days or days similar and allow
them to again pollute the people una
der legal sanction. So universally Is
the fact recognized that the saloon is
dead that no man seeking public Of
fee dares TO pronounce in its favor.
If he did he wouldn't get votes enough
to wad a shot gun.
The astute advocates of a saloon
regime early recognized the stone
wall OF public opinion that they were
up against and they concocted a cam
outage under the name of Beers and
Light Wines. "We don't want the
saloon back" said they But give us
beers and light wines" II was
very cunning shift for in truth there
isn't much objection to beers and
light wines sold and drunk a. grape
juice Is But II wasn't because they
really wanted only beers and light
wines. The advocates OF this shift
knew that should beers and light
wines be sanctioned Il would add so
much interference to the enforcement
OF prohibition OF stronger liquor as
to make the prohibition OF the manu-
facture and sale Of intoxicants farce
and would eventually end In the COM
plete triumph Of the saloon and the
repeal Of the amendment
This camoufage was fret attempt
ed In Michigan which had adopted
dry amendment. A counter amend
ment allowing beers and light wines
was submitted The people were ad-
yised OF ,its real intent and Il was
overwhelmed by an ayalanch OF votes
that will forever deter men from at
tempting TO put Il forward again in
this state The hopelessness OF the
cause was Immediately recognized
by the big brewing interests, and they
have almost all swung to a new basis,
the manufacture OF soft drinks and
ice cream. Reports from some OF the
largest brewing interests in the state
say that they are making more money
than ever and are in favor OF con
tinuance OF the dry" regime.
But. the smaller fellows die hard.
They have hope that tightening may
strike somewhere near them and open
the gates for saloon again. SO. TAX
ing advantage OF the mistakes OF the
federal enforcement, they have start
cd another camoufaged campaign.
II Is the same old dodge; 1--WE don't
want the saloon but give us beer and |
light wines. They don't want the |
saloon but they hope that their sub
stitute will carry a full fledged saloon
on its hack. To carry this end the

develop how these governments
propose to carry out the plan Of
resuming trade with Russia through
the cooperative societies there,
without having dealings with the
soviet authorities.
Omcials said today they were
skeptical of the success of any
such undertaking but that they
were anxious to resume trade with
the Russian people IL it would not
involve recognition Of the boil

goods sent into Russia would not
be confiscated by the soviet officials
