lRONWOOD YOUTH AND
THREE SALOONKEEPERS FINED
Iron County Authorities Get After
Liquor Law VioIatOrs. Make Raid
at Pence Saturday Night.

The arrest and conviction of an
Ironwood youth and three saloon
keepers, two from Pence and one
from Hurley, were the results this
week of activity on the part of the
sheriff and district attorney to en-
force the liquor laws.
Oscar Erickson, an Ironwood
youth, was arrested Saturday night
at Van Buskirk. Erickson went
to Van Buskirk to attend a dance
there and in order to celebrate pro
perly carried with him a bottle of
moonshine, which, it is believed,
he secured at Jessieville. The arrest
was made by Undersheriff Richard
Kalliomaa. Erickson was brought
before Judge Thomas in municipal
court Monday and was assessed a
fine Of $500 and costs or the alter
native of spending four months in
the county Jail. He paid the fine

just across the Wisconsin line. The
dances have been largely attended
by residents OF Jessieville and it is
declared that moonshine has been
disposed of freely by frequenters of
the place from the Michigan side,
resulting in drunkenness and i'm
morality. The proximity of the
dance hall to the Michigan side,
making it easy of access by resi-
dents of Jessieville, since there is
a good road between the places,
has made it difficult for local auth
orties to apprehend the law break.

See thru Saloons.

/ There has been big change in
the appearance of local saloons
during the week. indicating that
local beverage parlor proprietors
intend to observe the provisions of
the Severson law, the new state
dry act.
Starting Monday morning there
was general removal of screens and
distractions in order that an un.
obstructed view of the barrooms in
accordance with the new law
might be had from the street. With
but few exceptions local saloon.
keepers complied with the law as
regards screens and curtains. so
that the insides of the places are
visible to passersby, thus removing
considerable of the semblancc Of
the old time saloon.
Bars are allowed TO remain, how
ever, so long as they are not used
IN violation of the law, which saws
that liquor must not be consumed
at bar. An unobstruCted view
OF the front and sides of the bar
IS required, however, A few places
have had wire screens placed on the
outside edges of the bars, thus
preventing customers from leaning
on the bar while consuming the
connections handled in the so called
soft drink parlors. This method
of complying with the law is said
to have been recommended by a
Milwaukee brewery.
In two instances unobsttucted
views of the barrooms are not OBJ
tanned for the reason that the fronts
are so high that the interiors can.
not be readily seen. Rebuilding
of the fronts would be necessary
in these cases, according to the
present Interpretation of the law.
However, District Attorney Warren
B. Foster will seek an opinion from
the state dry commissioner in re-
gard to these cases before taking
any action. In another instance
the saloon is set so high above the
street line that strict compliance
with the law is difficult.
One saloonkeeper on Silver
street tried to pull smart stunt
by having a four-foot letter sign
painted on the plate glass, thus
partially preventing a view of the
rear of the bar. He had no sooner
completed the sign when he was
compelled to erase it ou orders
from the district attorney.

Epson Man Rearrested.

Peter Radakovich, of Upson, will
have to stand trial on the charge of
manslaughter in connection with
the death Of Loise Bailey, who was
shot during a brawl in the defen-
dant's saloon at Upson. Judge
RisIord issued a warrant for the
arrest of RadakoviCh and the date
of his trial has been set for Sept. /.
The rearrest of RadakoviCh is
the outcome of action of members
OF the American Legion Post at
Iron River the home of the young
man who was shot. The Legion
members brought the case to the
attention of Governor Blaine, with
the result that District Attorney
Warren B. Foster was instructed
to again take up the case. 1t is
believed that the Legion members
charged that the action of the
municipal judge in dismissing the
defendant was not warranted.
Bailey was shot on the night of
March 9 by revolver in the hands
of Radakovich. Three shots were
fired, two of them taking effect
and one went wild One shot hi;
Bailey in the back and one in the
head. The following Sunday he
died in the General hospital at
Ashland. On April 7 RadakoviCh
had a hearing in municipal court
following which he was dismissed
Judge Thomas holding that the
shooting was justihable.
The action of the Iron River
Legionaires in champoning the
cause of their comrade together
with that OF Gov. Blaine in order
ing that the case be again brought
up has created renewed interest

CITY'S WATER PROBLEM
AGAIN BEFORE COUNCIL
City Attorney Gives Report of Hear
ing before Railroad Commission.
May Lease or Buy Plant.

The water problem in Hurley
came up for considerable discus
sion at the regular meeting of the
city council Tuesday evening.
City Attorney A. L. Ruggles gave
report OF the proceedings at the
hearing at Madison on July 20 be
tore the railroad commission in the
matter of the raise in water rates
asked by the Ironwood & Bess-
emer Railway and Light company,
which controls the company now
supplying Hurley with water. No
decision was rendered by the com
mission, but, according to the city
attorney, the company presented a
strong case for an increase in rates
and it is probable that the raise
will be granted, increasing the cost
of water to Hurley consumers more
than five times as mach as the pre-
sent rate.
Following the report of the city
attorney and the discussion of the
water problem the council passed
resolution authorizing the water
committee to confer with the Iron
wood city authorities aud the water
company with the view of leasing
or purchasing the equipment of the
water company in Hurley. The
opinion prevails among some of the
councllmen that Hurley should
eliminate the middleman and buv
water direct from Ironwood, or
establish source of supply of its
own. The question has been up
before but no decision reached
and now in the face of on enormous
increase in rates it has again been
brought forward as possible
solution of the problem. 1t is
understood that Ironwood would
be willing to supply Hurley with
water direct and it is believed that
a saving can be brought about by
eliminating the middleman.
A policeman will be stationed in
the Cary location hereafter, Neil
Hurley being named for the posi-
ton. The services of the motor
cycle cop have been dispensed with.
Harold BackIund has been serving
as motor cop.
The construction of some kind
OF sidewalk to the Cary location
was authorized. There has long
been a demand for this piece of
Improvement, as it would not only
be convenience to persons living
in the Cary location but would also
entitle the residents of the location
to free mail delivery, which can
not be accorded them until a side
walk has been provided, it being
one of the requirements laid down
by the government. 1t is expected
that the walk will be built of
cinders or crushed rock, the city
not being able to bear the expense
OF cement walk at this time.
Tuesday evening was the time
set for opening bids for street work
and constructing sewers. In view
of the present financial condition
of the city the council decided that
it would be unwise to make con
tracts for the work at this time
and therefore rejected the bids and
ordered that the work be carried
out under the super vision of the
board of public works.

If northern politicians alter eman-
cipation had left the negro to the
control and guidance of their former
owners. there would never have been
anv race issue to solve, and these
people would have been fir advanced
over their present condition. Un-
questionably, the. Southern people
best understand negro nature, are
their true friends. They have been
safe and trustworthy guides for their
former slaves. Old negroes tnd their
former owners would have lived to-
eether in peace and kindliness and
their children been trained IN the
way they should go. But with each
succeeding generation Of blacks the
lines dividing the two races are each
day widening, and what the end Will
be no one can predict. Some writer's
assert that they only solutions OF the
racial problem will be one of three
things. Emigration, determination
or amalgamation. Neither of these IS
possible or at all probable. The ne

His numbers are too great to move

sanction the latter alternative. AS to
amalgamation adherence to such a
mingling of races is taking deeper
root every year, even in the North.
But the South has solved the race
problem 50 far as this section is con-
cerned. The negro will never be per-
mitted to have any deciding voice in
controlling this country. While there
NAV be race riots and outbreaks, Sou
thern manhood will always keep the
blacks in check and in their place.
The idea Of amalgamation is too abb
horrent to consider for a moment.

their case. But the morals have un-
deniably improved. l notice in my
travels over the south that the blend
ing Of white and black blood has al
most ceased. 1t is a rare thing these
days to see mulatto baby unless the
offspring of yellow mother or fa-
ther. And every year it seems that
the race of genuine negroes is in
creasing, except possibly around the
cities. This is healthy moral ad-
vance.
1t is a common belief that all ne
groes will steal. This is SANDER on
the race. Of course there are many
rogues among these people, but one
thing about the negro he never takes
Iany article of very great value. For
instance if you have dishonest house
Iservant and chance to leave a $40 bill
and so cents silver piece exposed,
the negro, nine times out of ten, will
take the silver and leave the bill. A
white thief would pocket both. We
Southern people know this failing and
often condone small thefts as we
make that allowance in employing Ser
wants. But there are also honest and
trustworthy negroes. Even during
slavery days, my mother never locked
her closets, having every confidence
in her black domestics and she was
never mistaken or had her trust be-
trayed.
The negro has commendable am
bition to educate his children, and
will make any sacrifice, and feed them
on blackberries, crust of bread in or
der to send them to school. This zeal
lis doubtless attributed to the fact
THAT in slavery days education was
forbidden fruits to blacks. And the
negro is an apt pupil and makes rapid
advances in his studies. But he is
an imitator, and whatever he builds
or does is transient or temporary.
You might today remove every negro
from the American continent and in a
half century or less not single evil
Idence would remain that the race had
ever been brought here, unless it be
