Dry Forces Brought in sa7 GOO.

About 325 arrests for violations of
the state prohibition law were made
during the last year, according to
Deputy Commissioner Ben 9. Parkin-
son. OF this number 200 were con-
victed and 100 cases are pending.
Fines from the entire number arrest
ed and convicted will amount to $780,
900, OF which $4,000 has already been
collected. Federal authorities have
sent about twenty-five persons to fed
eral prisons, fined a few over 100 and
have 60 cases pending as a result of
their years work, according to Fed
eral District Attorney A. G. Wolfe.
"The Mulberger law, under which the
state operates, provides for only the
commissioner and three deputies.
said Parkinson. "When the time
comes that every county and city at
torney and police official is auto
matically a dry officer we will have
far more effective enforcement of the
law" From the statistics compiled it
is evident that moonshining and boot
Logging are on the decline as COM
pared with the previous year. Ted
eral forces have 25 deputies working
in Wisconsin under the direction of
local chief. AT times of raids extra
deputies are sent to the state by the
district headquarters at Chicago. Two
men were killed in resisting arrest by
federal deputies, but none by the
state. John Chiapusio of Hurley was
killed last December when he was
trying to run an automobile from Mil
waukee to Hurley past a blockade,
and Joseph Nedovich of Baraboo was
killed when he attacked an officer
with woodsman's ak. In addition to
these deaths, the department OF public

Many Children Contract Diseases.
That hundreds of boys and girls in
Wisconsin are victims of venereal in
lection, usually innocently acquired,
because they had not been taught the
dangers, was stated to the joint
finance committee of the legislature
when the work of the social hygiene
bureau was discussed. Not only young
people in their teens, but children of
tender years, are registered with the
bureau as receiving treatment. The
reports show that 637 boys and girls
between Is and 20 years Of age, and
81 under Is years, are registered

Skilled Labor Is in Demand.

The industrial depression is affect
ing skilled workmen much less than
common labor. In the first three
weeks of February, the free employ

only five common Iaborers from fac
tories, while 105 skilled men were
asked by factories. Factories through
out the state are taking on practical

Bachelor Tax Bill Gets Publicity.

Taxation of bachelors, as proposed
in a bill recently offered in the lower
house Of the Wisconsin state legisla-
ture by Assemblyman Ell. M. Marks of
Hurley, seems to have attracted great
err national attention than all the bills
which have been introduced in the
legislature for the regulation Of insur
ance corporations and the taxation of
war profteers. The fact is that the
profteer is an insignificant individual
in the taxation field, once there is an
opportunity to tax the baid-headed

material with which the witnesses
have numbered the record.
It has been shown that the Bank
Of North Dakota was started with
out capital, and that it never had any
real capital, that which passed as
such being paper backed by no assets
belonging to the bank.
Witnesses have refused to produce
records essential to the conduct Of
the inquiry, citing as their authority
instructions from the industrial COM
mission. The commission advances
as its reasons for not permitting e Q
ords to be produced before the COM
mission the theory that the absence
of such records from the bank Of
fees would interfere with the con-
duct of the institution. The commits
sion has advanced no other reason
for its attitude of refusal.
Mr.. Cathro has sworn that in the
redistribution of public funds which
have been deposited with it the effort
has been made to return the deposits
to the banks in which they had orig
inally been deposited. and that no

shows that n Fargo bank has re-

StiM further Mr.. Cathro has de-
clared on the stand that his reluct-

not to any fear hat the operation Of

fear that the disclosure Of facts
which the examination of such rec
ords would bring about would have
disastrous. consequences, a reason en-

FIGHTING WITH FIRE.

III We often hear about fighting the
uIdevil with fire, and something Of
afthat sor is planned in connection

atquarters At Racine, is planning an in
offensive course in soap-box oratory,

lnples Of good government in such s

train constructive speakers of the
tqright type in the methods which these

~ 1t seems certain hat something
neuseful may be done along this line.
A'But it will not dc to rely too strongly
ion it. 1t must be remembered that
while destructive oratory does it's share
in creating vicious sentiment, much Of
its influence is due to its appeal to
the vicious sentiment that already ex-
lists. And in sue cases We are not

WAYS OF BEING ELECTED

There are several ways OF getting
ones self elected to a public office.
Two of them may be illustrated as
follows:
Paul johnson, Of western Pembina
county, was a candidate for the North
Dakota House Of Representatives. AS
a part of bis campaign work he had
a lot of cards printed. bearing his
name, address and the statement that
he was a candidate for tho legislature.
The card contained also the complete
text of the only printed platforms that
Mr.. johnson issued. That platform
consisted of the Jingle sentence.
I am opposed to Townley. =
Some of Mr.. Johnson's friends were
Mortified. They shared his senti-
ments, but feared the effect of such
a blunt avowal OF them. It was urged
that such a statement would ALLEVIATE
many who would otherwise vote for
him.
"All right" said Mr.. johnson.
That's where I stand, and I want
everybody to know it. If the voters
want a Townley man it is their privi-
leee to elect one. But il they elect
me 1 want them to know just what
they are getting"
They elected him. They haven't
the figures on his majority, but it was
a good one. And the voters OF, that
district have the satisfaction Of know
ing that they got just what they ex-
pected and desired. Mr.. johnson has
been frank and square both before
and after election.
Lawrence Btorgo was a candidate
for the legislature in the Seventh dis
trict. Personally he was well liked.
Whatever statements he may have
made as to his attitude on the main
questions now before the people of
the state. he never gave the public
any reason to suppose that he was
infected with the Townley virus, and
personal friends who did active cam
paign work for him declared positive
~, and undoubtedly believed, that he
was thoroughly opposed to the pr1n-
ciples and policies Of the Townley re-
gime. Because Of that understanding
Of his attitude he received many votes
which he would no otherwise have
received, and o n that basis he wa
elected.
During the legislative session thus
far Mr.. Bjorgo has on almost all oc-
casions voted with the Townley group
in h house. If he had teld tho vot-
ers in advance that he was going to
do that he would never have been
elected.
