Such exhibitions of jazz justice by
supposedly safe and sane men are a
graver menace to the continuance of
constitutional government than the
mad mouthings of our socialist revo-
luttonary radicals. Probably this
action could not be duplicated any
where else in America. If it could
our yellow peril is not the Asia
tics, but the Americans who refuse to
recognize the rule Of the majority. 1t
is not question of wet or dry. 1t
is a question whether this govern
ment shall be for the morals, health,
peace and safety of the people as de-
creed by the overwhelming majority
of the people, or for the pockets of
profteering, law-defying, booze traf-
fickers. 1t is a question whether the
American Constitution governs Mil
waukee or Milwaukee socialism gov
ems America.
Suppose when Jesus was driving
the money-changers from the temple
the high priest from the Holy of Hol-
les had asked that the law be amend
ed to legalize dissertation of the tenn
pie. Wouldn't that have Jared Je-
rusalem?
The judicial department of our AM
erican government has been the most
sacred part of our system; the grand
jury room is the sanctum sanctorum
of that department; yet these jury
men ask action which the Supreme
Court itself, in unfolding the Vol

case Jan. Is this year, pointed out
would, as experience in the various
dry states had universally proven, be-
come the means by which all kinds
of intoxicating liquors would be sold
and thus defy and virtually destroy
the 18th amendment to the U. S. Con-
stitution.
The "frst aid" treatment for the
"deplorable conditions" which the
jury recites is not to legalize lawless-
ness. AS we'll try to purify polecat
by spraying him with rosewater.
The recognized treatment is fearless
ferriting by the police; persistent
prosecution by district attorneys;
coupled with judges sentences which
excite terror instead of filters.
Complete cure can only be effected
by a national campaign of education
until reverence for law and respect
for the Constitution as the founda-
tion of liberty have become an out
standing national characteristic.

BRIDGE co. INCORPORATED

The Prescott Bridge Company is
now fully incorporated under the laws
of the state of Wisconsin, giving the
company a definite business basis to
work upon.
Last Thursday afternoon the first
meeting of the stockholders was held
at the /. o. o. F. hall with about 105
stockholders present. Many did not
get out to the meeting.
j. H. Wenzel was chosen chairman
of the meeting and l. F. Shearer,
secretary.
Mr.. King, of the firm of Toltz, King
and Day, st. Paul, the company's en-
gineers, gave their report. Two or
three models of bridges are under
consideration and until the definite
one is chosen the exact cost of the
bridge cannot be determined. Also,
undoubtedly before contracts can pos,
sibly be let, steel and labor can be Sc
cured cheaper than at the present
market price. Mr.. King submitted a
drawing of iift-span bridge and
gave the approximate cost OF build
ing such a bridge, which was $ll9,-
$50. This figure would not include
the cost of the filling in and road
work, which would necessarily have
to be done at each approach, and
which no doubt would be assumed by
the counties and states respectively.
The plan submitted was of bridge
555 feet long and with three spans of
ITO feet each, the middle span being
movable. The drawing of the bridge
may be seen at the First National
bank.
w. F. Rosenwald, Maintenance En-
gineer of the State Highway Depart
ment of Minnesota, gave a brief talk
on the Babcock plan of roads and his
remarks were highly appreciated. a
report of committee, which had in
terviewed the county commissioners
of Washington county, Mimi, was
given, which showed that the road or
the Minnesota side would be looked
after.
The following directors were elect
ed for the ensuing year: H. G. Fled
Ter, Edward Longworth, E. B. Heth
erington, R. F. Snyder and Everett
| Miller.
The annual meeting is to be held thu
second Saturday in December of eacl
year.
After the stockholders meeting TIT
newly elected directors held meet
ing at the First National bank ant
the following officers were elected
H. G. Fielder, President; R. F. Snyd
er, president; l. F. Shearer
Secretary; Edw. Longworth, Treas
urer; Everett Miller and E. B. Heth
erington, Directors.
The new officers plan an aggres
sive campaign at once for the sale o

Americans, With Their Business In
stinct, Have Naturally Taken
Kindly to the instrument.

The telephone is an American in
vendon, and we Americans have
learned to use it better than any
other people. Four-fifths of the
worlds telephones are in the United
States. No other country has the ex-
change system developed to give such
convenient service. In some of the
most progressive European countries
the exchange system is so cumbersome
that 1t usually requires ten or fifteen
minutes TO get connection.
The telephone in this country has
expedited the transaction of busl-
ness. Without our efficient tele-
phone service, the work of most of our
great industries would be slowed up
and made more expensive. No other
country has rural system that
compares with ours. The telephone
has definitely affected and nodded our
business methods and our social and
domestic ,ife-Alfred Westfall, Colo
