If the majority Of the taxpayers in
this county want to build court
house this year, far be it from us to
raise protesting voice, but not for
any consideration could we be in
duced to state that this county, with
it's present township tax rates, can
enter into project involving the ex-
'penditure Of not less than $285,00O
without having the taxes appreciably
increased If expanding that amount
of money will not increase our taxes,
why hesitate in regard to any public
improvements? We had not realized
that this was such a wealthy county.
Possibly a little later we will find
that we were misinformed and we
will begin to feel our taxes as do peo-
pie in district Is where the rate is
1857 mills, and a man pays $301.68
on 70 acres. Then there is no need of
discussing the question. No matter
what any man may say, it is an in
disputable fact, which no honest man
would attempt to controvert, that a
bond issue of $15O,OOO entailing an
interest of $4,000 is going to ap-
preciably increase the taxes Of every
property owner in the county. It is
up to each voter to decide for him
self whether he is in position to as,
sumo any heavier financial burdens al
this time.

The Mile Laos County Times states

The Mile Laos County Times states
that failure to vote bonds for the court
house would mean that the county
commissioners would be forced to hire
quarters at some place in Milaca at
whatever figure the owners of build
ings may see fit to charge. Now we
had never supposed that there would
be the slightest danger of landlords
in Milaca attempting to profteer on
the county by charging exorbitant
rents, but the Times would seem to
insinuate that there is possibility of
them doing so. AS long as there is a
court house in Princeton in fairly good
condition and a group of as public
spirited citizens as there is in Prince
ton, such possibility as the Times
suggests should not alarm anyone.
Rather than see our county officials
and all the valuable county records
put out in the streets we believe the
people of Princeton would themselves
assume the cost of putting the old
court house in condition for temporary
quarters for our officials, until the
taxpayers saw fit to erect the new
court house.

Charles F. Serline of Mora is t

Charles F. Serline of Mora is this
year a candidate for the state senate.
Mr.. Serline has served two terms in
the house and has made a good record
in that body. His success has resulted
in large measure from the fact that
he has kept in close touch, not with
the constituents Of his county only,
but of his whole district. The people
of Mile Laos county can rest assured
that Charles Scrline will, if elected,
ably represent them in the senate as
he has in the past in the house. Since
this is purely agricultural district
and since Mr.. Serline's chief interests
are in that industry he devotes most
of his time to consideration Of agri-
cultural legislation. This is entirely
fitting. The farmers and other resi-
dents Of this district want representa-
tives in the legislature whose chief in
tercst is in matters which arc of para
mount Importance to them. There are
other candidates in the field for the
state senate and they are undoubtedly
capable men, but we know Charley
Serline and we know that he can take
care of our interests IN the legisla-
tufe. He has done so in the past and
we arc perfectly willing to entrust
them to him in the future.

The Wahkon Enterprise states there
is no apparent reason why the new
court house should not be built this
year. The Enterprise seems to be Of
the opinion that the interests of the
Milaca school will be jeopardized un-
less we move our county officials from
their temporary quarters. Well, let
us make all haste and speedily convey
them to some other retreat for the
time being; because even if the coun-
ty did vote bonds, hurry as we might,
we couldNnot erect our new court house
by August 1. On that date the En-
terprisc states the basement of the
Milaca school building must be va
Gated by the county officials if the
Milaca school is not to lose it's state
aid. The discussion about the bonds is
bringing several matters to light. Most
Of us had not realized that speed was
such 9 big factor in this question. If
we are to move those officials by Aug
ust 1, we simply must get busy and
start packing very soon. It matters
but little where we go, we just must
be on the way. But what a shame to
leave those expensive vaults that the
taxpayers so generously installed in
the basement of the school building.
It wouldn't be such serious matter
to move the officials if we could only
move the vaults with them.

Tuesday, May 80, is Memorial day.
On that day the people of this nation
will pause in their daily tasks and
desist from their usual pursuits to do
honor to our solder dead. In the
minds of most of US this day is conse-
Grated to the memory of the veterans
of the civil war, but the toll CT the last
fearful war has added thousands of
names to our honor roll and before the
graves of all these heroes We stand
with bowed heads and grateful hearts.
May VIC never forget the sacrifice
these men have made for us and for
OUT children's children and may we
ever prove ourselves worthy of that
sacrifice. To these men we owe a
debt that can be repaid only by main
tanning unstained the honor of our
country and building we'll for the gen.
erations yet to be.

We understand that our village
marshal has been instructed to ar
rest every intoxicated man who ap-
pears on the streets. That is we'll and
good, but do not pass up the individual
who is dispensing the whiskey or
Inoonshine. If there is one thing that
the village marshal should do, it is
to put the fear of the law in the hearts
of those individuals who for paltry
few dollars will flagrantly violate our
laws. The Volstead act is not popu-
lar in certain sections of the country
but as long as it is a law on our stat
ute books it should be enforced. The
council, it seems, has instructed the
marshal to attempt to see that all
laws are enforced in this village and
the orders are to go ahead regardless
of where the chips fall We endorse
that sentiment and fcrvently hope
that the officials will devote them
selves chiefly to prosecuting those who
commit the more serious offenses.

Are the PIeiades DINNER?

The question presents itself whether
three stars Of the constellation of the
Pleiades have less brilliancy than for
merly, or whether prehistoric man had
a better sight than ours, or if he was
wont to climb up the mountains to ex-
anime the nearest stars, or if the at
mosphere of past ages was purer than
ours?
This problem arises from the fact
that we see from below only seven of
the stars of the Pleiades and that the
last three stars can only be seen by
ascending to the highest SUBMITS,
while there have just been discovered
stones dating from prehistoric times
upon which the ten stars are engraved.
This interesting question in astron-
omy and archaeology has been preached
to the French Academy Of Sciences by
M. Bigourdan.

We have considerable respect for
the editor of the Milaca Tribune. AS
a rule he is lucid, logical and exceed
ingly careful not to misrepresent
facts; but this court house bond issue
seems to have affected even his ac-
curacy. In last weeks issue of the
Tribune he states: "The Princeton
Union has it figured out that the in
terest on court house bonds would be
$500 per year and the cost of main
tanning the present offices in Milaca
is only $5,328 for the same period
The Union actually stated that the to-
tai rent for the county offices in Milaca
is $181 per month or $2,172 per year,
$5,328 less than the interest on the
proposed bond issue for one year.

In a plea for the motion picture
theaters and not too rigid censorship,
the Washington Herald comments on
Hays statement that the Americans
must have amusement or else they will
become Reds. The Herald states:
Life divided between sleep and an
eternity of monotonous tasks is hard
ly worth living" The argument ad-
vanced would be just as strong if the
word "monotonous" were omitted, be-
cause no matter how interesting a
mans work may be, the average indi-
vidual requires reasonable amount
Of recreation. Moreover the man who
finds his work monotonous is either a
misfit and should enter some other oc-
cupation or he is too inert to be re-
vived by any form of recreation. The
motion pictures do, however, play an
important part in our national life to-
day. The thousands of sensible, hard
working men and women who regular
ly patronize these theaters in all our
cities furnish convincing evidence on
this point. Among these patrons will
be found the leading professional and
business men, men who lead strenuous
lives and know the value of an hours
relaxation. A good film that holds the
attention of the spectator, causing him
to completely forget his surroundings,
refreshes him mentally so that he can
return to his work with renewed ener>
gy. The recreational benefits are just
as great for those Of us who live in
the rural districts and spend our days
in strenuous manual labor. Some
times our existence seems too color
less and prosaic. We need something
to fire the imagination, and in the film
we find the interesting tale that gives
us the bit of life and color that we
crave.

Today the United States seems to
be more bombarded with propaganda
than it was even when George Creel
was conducting his bureau of "public
information" Anybody who wants
anything, whether in Europe, Asia,
Africa, South America or the fag ends
of creation, makes a plea to the peo-
pie of the United States, generally for
financial aid, frequently for political
help, and occasionally for warlike in
reference. "Emancipators," lectur-
ers and special emissaries tour the
country. Magazines, books and
pamphlets flood the mails. Special
writer's litter the desks and fill the
waste baskets of editors with "exclu-
sive articles" for some of which they
even have the effrontery to ask pay

Some strange things can be found
in the Congressional Record of by
gone years. An elderly congressman
was delivering a carefully prepared
speech upon subject in which he
was vitality interested when he was in
terrupted by another elderly member
whose views upon the subject were en-
tirely opposite. When the speaker of
the house asked if he desired to yield
to the gentleman who was interrupt
ing him, he angrily retorted: "I will
yield to no man. sir, who goes to bed
each night on six bottles Of beer and
raw beef sandwich, and allow him
to inject his maudlin mentality into
the bowels of my speech" National
Republican.

the Congressional Record you will find
some strange things even in it's cur
rent issues.

The Milaca Tribune states that most
of the county offices are in the high
school building which should be used
for other purposes. Quite true, quite
true. We never could understand just
why Milaca wished to convert her
fine new school building into court
house, but she did. Two years ago
she actually insisted on doing so, and
all the Taxpayers in the county helped
in the project by paying the neat lit
tie sum of some $4,000 for that very
purpose.
