A certain Lacrosse daily publica-
ton seems to be trying to impress
upon its readers that much-or most
of the lawlessness in that city is
caused by visitors from neighboring
sections, and their paper seems to
take especial delight in "Headlining"
Viroqua and Westby. Knowing the
people of Viroqua and Westby, to
some extent, we resent the implica-
ton, altho some of our people have
ben unfortunate in their experiences
at Lacrosse. The people of this sec
ton are law abiding and records show
that there are few communities in
the state surprising Viroqua and
Westby in this respect-certainly La
Crosse Is not one of them.
Lacrosse business houses may ex-
pend money in advertising and may
conduct booster auto trips, but I'M
fair headlines, careless mistakes in
the use of names, and an unneighbor-
ly spirit by its newspaper will undo
all the good accomplished.
Lacrosse has no grievance if out
siders become drunk and disorderly
there, nor if accidents happen as re-
suit thereof. The surrounding terri
tory has the grievance. Why is it
that almost anyone can go to La
Crosse and buy moonshine by the
gallon, is what they ask? Have the
small places near such city no rights
in this connection? Lacrosse COM
plains that fatal accidents are caused
by careless driving. The cause of
most accidents near Lacrosse is
moonshine, bought in that city; and
if people must be so killed it is retri-
button that they should be Lacrosse
people. The party wanted is the La
Crosse man who sold the hootch, and
back of him are the police and city
officials who are sworn to enforce the
law but who apparently openly con-
nive at its violation Did anyone ever
read in the Lacrosse daily referred to,
any appeal to the officers of their city
to clean up the place and make it
safe and respectable when visitors
arrived?
We hope the new year will see a
change in the attitude of the people
of the city of Lacrosse toward viola
ton of the law by the sale of moon
shine in its confines. If they knew
how much this means to the surround
ing territory, and how much better
the feeling would be if those at fault
"O0Ad NOAACNt NtlC bLOuUlt, We are GER
tain this would be accoplished. We
believe that the large majority of
Lacrosse people are not in accord
with the open violation of law.
A. E. SMITH.
1.-THE Censor editor desires to add
his hearty amen to Mayor Smiths
article. Practically every bit of trou-
bic in Viroqua this summer which re-
CURED the services of our police of
ficers can be traced right back to La
Crosse moonshine. Viroqua police of
ficers are not highly paid and special
ly trained detectives (such as La
Crosse has) but they can take care
of all local difficulties providing the
inflow of "hootch" from Lacrosse can
be stopped. We notice that the police
and detective force of La Crosse
functions very perfectly in most re-
spects, and Viroqua officials are won
dering .of there aren't certain ways
in which the said police force can
be PERSUADED to function Just a
little in enforcing the 18th amend
ment.]

Lost in New Wave of
Selling Pressure; Near
East Regarded as Prefexs

Concentrated selling pressure di-
secsed against wide range of rail
road and industrial shares Yesterday
afternoon efaeed the full effects of the
recovery movement which bcgan on
tuesday, and established lower mean
prices than prevailed on Monday, when
the nrst pronounced adverse specula-
tive reaction to the Near Eastern war
situation took place.
The selling yesterday was clearly
associated with the Turkish deyelop
'nents' although it was again apparent
that certain operators of Importance
regarded the European news more as a
pnetext than as q reason for selling
securities.
The indications that British troops
would remain in Turkey pending peace
adjustments, despite Kemal's demand,
revived the fear that there were COM
bustibie elements in the present un-
folding of the story of the Turk in
Europe. This notion was expressed in
decline of q of cent in sterling
exchange and in general declines of
| the Continental exchanges
! Responding to the speculative forces
swaying the other markets, cotton quo
| tations, after early rallies, revealed
net loss of fourteen to twenty five
points (hundredths of cent?
/ pound. Despite the uncertainty of the
foreign outlook, the movement to bid
up wheat quotations on the theory that
war would increase the demand was
checked and final quotations were "a of
a cent bushel lower to u of cent
higher.
The weakness in the stock market.
which was party ascribable to tech
nical conditions, was intensified by a
stiffenlng of the rates on call money,
which opened at Az per cent and
closed at per cent. The rise reflected
the passing of income tax cheeks
through the banks, and also with
drawal of funds in connection with
swollen imports, which were rushed
into the country before the new high
tariff became effective, and to a mild
| degree the increased withdrawal Of
funds for payroll purposes, as a result
of the settlement of the major strikes
The furry in call money had the ap-
pearances of a temporary and super
fetal condition
