ticle continues, in part.
Law as to Black Bass.
The law itself is clear enough; all
we need is enforcement. The statute
says 1t shall be unlawful to shoot
spear. trap or net a river bass at any
time sThe net fishermen are licensed
and supposedly pay a fee each year
Let the department of game and in
land fisheries and the game wardens
supported by local Judges and justices
of the peace. put into effect the fol-
lowing suggestions or notifications
thereof:
Il, Warn every net fisherman that
his license will be revoked tor two or
more years If he is caught shipping
bass 2. Insist on large. fines for
second offenses and endeavor to Sc
cure prison terms wherever possible.
3. Appoint two or more travelling
game wardens, free from local in
f1uences, who should receive one-half
the fines they secure. 4. Have war
dens make frequent inspections at
Washington and Alexandra of incom-
ing batrels of fish. ALI of these could
be put into execution under existing
law. Furthermore, two amendments
are needed to the law and would un-
doubtedly be- enacted IL recommended
by the governor or the department of
inland fisheries. One should require
the payment of substantial non-
resident anglers license fee. proceeds
of which should go to the fisheries de-
partment. and the, other. and more i'm
portant, should make it unlawful for
any common carrier to accept for
shipment any barrel or box contain
ing bass"

POPULAR VOTE
NOT REQUIRED
ON BIG issue

Another hope of the wet" antago-
|nists of national prohibition went
glimmering Tuesday when the United
States Supreme court decided that
ratification of constitutional amend
ment is not subject to submission to
a popular referendum.
Ratification by any state legislature
of the eighteenth amendment estab-
fishing national prohibition cannot be
revoked by vote of the people upon
submission of the legislatures action
to a referendum, the court holds, for
ratification is the function of no agen-
cy by the legislature.
The Ohio legislature ratified the
prohibition amendment and as it was
the thirty-sixth state to ratify the fed
eral secretary of state proclaimed the
amendment adopted by the requisite
three-fourths Of the states. Suisse
quently Ohio in referendum of the
question, voted against ratification Of
the amendment.
Constitutionality Not Decided
There will be no referendum now
on the suffrage: prohibition or other
constitutional amendment in Ohio or
any other state. With Ohio, thirty
five states have. ratified the suffrage
amendment and only one more state
is needed. North Carolina is expected
to furnish the thirty-sixth vote when
its legislature meets in July.
The Supreme court did not decide
the queustion of the constitutionality
of the prohibition amendment raised
by New Jersey and Rhode Island and
this decision is now looked for next
Monday. This also applies to the
2.75 content in Wisconsin.

opening of the. fishing season were: l.

X. Page. The above all tried their
luck on Lake Mason, Briggsville, and
some good catches were made, with
no one coming home empty handed
The season ON black bass not being
open until July caused some to al
most lose their patience when they
hooked a. beautiful big mouth and
had to throw it back again. 1t is said
that Frank Parrish pulled in five nice
black bass in succession, for a time
hooking one nearly every. cast while
a Portage fisherman was seen to sad
ly. carress five pound beauty before
he consigned him to the depths Of the
lake again. II s
Cottage Grove resort, better known
as the Ager@ farm, now makes de
lightful stopping place at ,Briggsville
for fishermen and tourists. The place
was purchased by e. s. and R. H.
Johnston some time ago and many
improvements have been made. Ad-
ditiona1 cottages have been built and
all are fitted up with comfortable beds
and other conveniences, while regular
meals can be secured three time a
day and lunches at any time The
latter essential detail being admirably
taken care of by Mrs. r. H. Johnston.
There is fine large screened-in
porch on the main building where the
ladies that do not care to fish can
rest and enjoy themselves otherwise
while the men folks are on the lake.
Johnston Brothers have fine herd of
Holstein COWS that occupy the big
new barn recently erected and large
ice house filled to capacity will supply
ice enough to keep your fish fresh I'M
til you leave for home.
The road to Briggsville is now part
of the state trunk highway and is
dragged regularly which keeps it in
excellent condition.
At Devils lake w. Fl. Marriott and
John Williamson were successful in
the piscatorial art, securing a nice
catch of pike while James Fisher
caught several pickerel. This Office has
not heard what w. F. Luther did in
the fishing line on the opening day
but if he was out we can well imagine.

JUDGE STEVENS
GRANTS DIVORCE
Another Is Refused on the Ground
the Husband Has No Legal Resi-
dence, Travelling About

On motion day In Baraboo, Tues
day, Judge E. Ray Stevens granted a
divorce in the case of Nora Hewitt
against Frank Hewitt. His location is.
unknown at the present time and this
gives the ground for the decree--deser-
ton. The witnesses were Mrs. Hewitt
and Harley Hewitt. Mrs. Hewitt re-
sides at Baraboo, there was no alimony
there is no property and the custody
of the five children remains with the
mother.
Husband Must Have Residence
When a husband travels about with
a circus or theatrical company from
year to year, not remaining in one
place for any length of time and hav-
ing no property, he has no residence.
This makes it difficult for a wife to
obtain divorce because the law re-
quires the residence must be shown.
When the divorce action of Mile See
VS.. William See came before the court
there was no proof of residence and
and no divorce could be granted
at the present time. Judge Stevens ex-
planned that in case he granted the
decree it might not be legal. Mr.. See
is a musician and travels about, his
wife being in Baraboo. The residence
of the wife follows that Of the hus-
band. The witnesses were Emma Wild
er and Eva Wilder.
Scale Case Under Amusement
The case whereby the city expects
to remove the scales owned by Samuel
Goldfarb, Fourth street, was argued
and the court will render decision
later.

Wertz, Franklin; Wolfgang, Whitman,
