WISCONSIN EQUITY TROUBLES

The decision Of the national board Of
The American Society of Equity to es-
tablish a new paper, to be known as
United Equity, serves to call attention
anew to the unfortunate situation
which exists in the Equity OrganiZa
ton in Wisconsin. For some time the
official paper of both the national and
state organizations had been the Equity
News, published under the direction
ana control of the Wisconsin State I'm
on *with the assistance and
cooperation of the national union"
But the unfOrt,m chickering's and
iealousieS that have arisen betWeennO
;nly the national and the state unions,
nj within the ranks of the state organ
Zat:0n itself. have made it seem desir-
lille for the national body to have an
organ Of its own. and one more respOn-
siye to what it considers the demands
Of the hour and the best interests of
the order.
rs [ have stated before, [ regret to
see 50 fine an organization as Equity
disrupted by internal jealOusieS, and
had hOned to see its troubles irOned out :
but for the present, at least, that seems
a vain hope. However, it may not yet
)e too late if the great body Of the So
ciety asserts itself and determines to
live up to the ideals and principles for
which it was founded. If the present
leadership in the society is the cause
IF the troubles. it would seem that such
leadership, if it had the best interests
of the organization at heart, should be
willing to eliminate itself and propose
4 referendum. Then, if it were again
endorsed by the society as a whole, the
organization should get behind it and
help advance the true principles Of
Equity. But the society should not
he used by ambitious individuals for
personal or political advancement. The
society should stay out Of politics, eX-
cept as it might find it necessary to at
tain its specific objects in legislation,
Or to endorse candidates in open, free
and democratic fashion, on the prin-
ciple that the untrammeled majority
shall rule That would seem a policy
to which any fair-minded and loyal
member of Equity should be willing to
subscribe
have faith that the great body of
Equity may weather the present storm
within itself and that the troubles now
lgitating it may in time prove but an
incident in its growth. To do this,
however, it must first set its house in
order and it can scarcely hope to pros
per until it does. Above all it should
NOT lend itself to any scheme or policy
Of tearing down or opposing other
movements, having in view the same
general objects of improving the econ
omic and social well-being of the farm
ing class. and thus of the whole body
Wisconsin Farmer.

THE INNOCENT DANDELION

The dandeliOn. though more or less
disliked on account of its intruding
habits and persistent crowding. has its
uses. The housewife gathers it to serve
on the dinner table as green's in the
early spring, and some of our people
make what is said to be Il very good
grade of wine from the blossoms. to
which are added other ingredients.
We are inclined to think that the de-
spiscd dandelion would lie very well
come right now in many sections of
pOvcrty-stricken Europe.
The dandcIion may be with or with
ont a kick" AS Il wine, properly
made. it is said to be impulsive Some
of our toWnspeoplc are right now col
lccting quantities Of the bright yellow
to make into wine and we do not desire
to brighten such by reporting that over
in Minnesota the prohibition commits
siOner has warned GOpherites to not
get more than one-half of one per cent
Of kick" into it. In Wisconsin we be-
lievc that legislative sentiment would
allow two and One-haIf or three and
One-half per cent, but it might be best
to look into this matter if you are
afraid of running afoul of the law
This matter of per cent OF alcohol

federal government and state govern
ment acts. Will be settled some day and
then all may know where they are at,
and may go blithely ahead with their

court findings may be.

The people generally will be disap-
pointed over the failure of congress to
take action on the bill to bring down
the cost Of living. before the Republi-
can national convention meets next
week The excuse is that other i'm
pOrtant bills should have precedence.
That may be the real reason, and,
again. it may not be-it is the excuse
but the people will not look at it that
way. The public months ago lost faith
in the promises Of Attorney General
Palmer to do something to sQuelch the

to make it hot for thcm. coming just
as the national campaign is about to

 Suddenly the wall and swish of the machine guns was doubled. Bob whistled with excitement.
 That means that the Mexicans have got into action at last. l guess Nor rison gave this hacienda some sur prise party" he said. Gosh, How I wish I could get out of this hole,"
 We've already done our bit for Morrison" I exclaimed joyfully. T guess I did good little job when set off that store of munitions few weeks ago even if I did do it in my delirium,'
 Best little job ever, You made it possible for Morrison to shoot up this nest. He had the plan in mind ever since he left the cave. he told me. But he couldn't find an excuse for making an attack until Spence and Archer were brought here. And then he wouldn't have dared to tackle the proposition as long as the owner of the place had a fort behind him.
 Bob interrupted himself, at inter- vals, to listen to the rise and fall of the fight which was going on so near and yet 90 far away from us. I had never seen him so excited in my life. The battle was for big stakes and he was as helpless as a woman. Do you realize, my dear. that we are in the most interesting country in the world at the present moment? And in the very heart of it's intrigue? And shut up-as useless as kittens?'' he stormed.
 You're making our friend, the de- tective a man of vast importance, my dear I said.
 He isl It's his business to keep the peace between the United States and Mexico Some job, I should say. He can't let rash Americans like Spence and Archer get themselves killed. And it takes nerve and money to masquerade his odtfit as a band of half-breeds outlaws. Say-Jane- where do you suppose he got his funds from ?'
 How should I guess that?" I in- quired sharply. It seemed so unim- portant in the midst of our anxieties.

 Bob was alert: I grew more nervous than ever The silence was more om- inous than the noise of the fight. Finally Bob spoke abruptly:
 The war has ended,"
 Who won it?" l asked, trying to keep an anxious tremulo out of my voice.
 I'll bet on Morrison. I'll bet he's in command of this hacienda at the pres ent moment. If the conspirators who run this place have lost, you and I will know-for-sure- of the next five minutes.
