REAL PROPAGANnA

The Censor's mail is continually be-
sieged with propaganda for the re-
turn of beer and light wine, and we
wish to inform well-meaning people,
who may be misled on this PROPOSE
ton, that the return of light wine and
beer means the return of the whole
liquor triffic in all its viciousness.
With light wine and beer legalized,
regulation of stronger liquor is utter
ly impossible. There are at the pres
ent time over thirty paid organiza-
lions working tooth and toe-nail for
the repeal of the 18th amendment,
working desperately to restore that
rotten national cancer which the hon
est sincere Christian men and women
of our country have almost eliminated.
They may succeed, if the dry citi-
zens of our nation hull themselves in
to the false security of thinking that
the battle is won. Their favorite
misrepresentation, is that prohibition
does not prohibit-that it is a failure.
We have drastic laws against murder,
rape, robbery and all other forms of
crime and lawlessness, yet these
crimes persist. Even with our COM
paratively light penalties for illicit
handling of liquor, and the lax en-
iOTceIneHC Oh IIleSe laws, the evils OF
the traffic have been wonderfully re-
duced. More stringent penalties and
vigorous enforcement would accom-
plish much more. But there will al
ways be a certain amount of boot
logging, just as there is of other
crime. That is no excuse for re-
pealing the 18th amendment. AS well
repeal the penalty on murder If you
feel that the 18th amendment is not
accomplishing its purpose at a sat
isfactory rate, we ask our readers to
bark back along memory's track to
the time of the open saloon, with the
drunkards in the gutter, with the
merchants bad accounts, with the
hungry families of drunken fathers.
with the drunken debauches at most
all public gatherings, with drunken
drivers menacing the safety of every
one on the road, and knots of drunken
men making it unfit for a lady to pass
on the street, and the rest. Do you
want the return of such conditions
Then see that all legislative officials
are bone dry men.

Attend Tobacco Convention.

A party of Vernon county gentle
men, consisting of Jens Davidson Of
Westby, Tom Mork, Selmer Neprud
and E. J. Jennings of Viroqua were in
attendance at the Tobacco Growers
Conference held in the Division of
Markets Office at Madison last Thurs
day and it was agreed by all those
present to try again this spring to
form state wide pool for the hand
ling of the growers tobacco, and to
give the growers till June LIST to sign
up. The pool would be supervised by
the Division of Markets, if formed and
every precaution taken to make it a
success. Nothing will be done unless
1870 of the tobacco grown in the state
is signed up by June LIST, as all agree
that it would do no good to merely
pack the. surplus, after packers had
gotten all the tobacco they want. Are
the growers dissatisfied enough with
present marketing conditions to want
this help? Its all up to them to saw.
