MISTA JOHNSIN

The reason why Johnson won in
Michigan is obvious: He was the
only candidate who stood bravely for
one thing land stood we'll says the
Emporia Gazette. We do not agree
with Hiram Johnson about the thing
he stands for. He is against any
League CT Nations and against it with
all his heart But he is not trying to
pollyfox. He denounces Wall Street
and the Morgan control of politics,
and he is a bull-voiced, bull-necked,
bull-headed Progressive and isn't
ashamed of it.
The other candidates-excepting
Hoover. who is for the League with
reservations are ducking on so many
issues that the webs in their feet
have cloven their tongues to the roofs
of their mouths.

BEAUTIFYINC BARABOO

Several persons are improving their
property, making Baraboo more
beautiful. Baraboo has a wonderful
asset in her beautiful hills in her at
tractive river, in her rural roads.
Near here one may see an exceptional
state park the famous Dells, and other
places as interesting. All these bring
many visitors and no small amount
of attention should be paid to the
homes and lawns of the town An
attractive region will attract visitors
and this means activity for many lines

would go in repeating revising or lib
eralizing the Volstead act which law
defined for one thing what per cent
of alcohol any beverages could con
tain. In our own judgment the law
carried the issue too far by making
the limit only one half of per cent,
when it is true that scores Of abso-
lutely innocent beverages develop that
much percentage of alcohol and that
even some standard foods exceed it.
But ON the other hand, this unrest"
that the congressman talks of must
not be misconstrued. Does it come
from the mass OF people or is TO-
mented and urged almost altogether by
people whose ultimate hope is the re-
peal of the 18th amendment So far
as we have been able to judge this
last is the case. AS whole, the
American people do not want the
amendment Itself repealed and if the
question and put squarely before
them, that there could be no middle
ground between the rigors of the Vol
stead law and repeal Of the amend
ment, they would stand by the amend
ment and the Eagle would line up
with them.
In our opinion this claim that there
is violent reaction" against the
18th amendment is largely manufact-
ured. Moreover improved social con-
ditions have already justified the en-
actment of the law and each year will
make that fact more evident The
present agitation emanates almost
wholly from those brought up and re-
turned under the Old regime. Inese
find themselves yearning for some
thing that the youth of to-day knows
nothing about and it will be the youth
of today that will be running this ma
ton a few years hence, when we OF
the present, with all our old tastes
and habits, will have passed on. There
fore, why worry?
Our boys will never suffer the loss
OF something they never tasted. Ii
