THE OTHER SIDE OF 1T.

We have before us letter from the secre-
tary of the Wisconsin Society Opposed to
Prohibition, in which protest is made that
many of the papers of the state are not publish
ing matter sent out by this organization.
The protest is made that the papers are not
giving "both sides" Of the question. We have
searched this letter and score of others care
fully and as yet we have not been able to see
where this society has found one single thing
in the prohibition amendment which is worthy
of more than passing notice This society has
given only one side of the question and its let
ter head indicates that it is organized to give
this one side and it only.
Of course in the letters there is the sugges-
ton that the eighteenth amendment is the law
of the land and as such it should be enforced
but coupled with this statement is the imme-
date suggestion that the amendment should be
cast into the discard. The declaration is made
that the personal liberties" of the people have
been ruthlessly abridged and the whole tenor
of the letter is aimed to stir up discord end
disrespect to the amendment
This organization indicates that it does not
want to bring back the saloon, but it indicates
a willingness to fill the watts of the breweries
with real beer. It has been very difficult for
us to bring ourselves to believe that it is fair
to put the saloon man out Of business and put
the brewery back into more profitable BUSH
ness. The saloon is hateful institution but
SO is the brewery. The saloon may come into
closer touch with the home than the brewery,
but back of the saloon has always stood the
brewery and the money made from the beer
business has in most cases been made by the
brewer rather than the man who sold the beer
to the ultimate consumer.
With all due consideration for the arguments
of this little body of men, probably financed by
big liquor interests, we can not but believe that
if we are going back to the "tub of suds' the
saloon man is entitled to just as much con-
sdeYation as the brewer.
The saloon man always bore the brunt of the
liquor business while the brewer and the dis
tiler reaped the millions of profit from it. Of
course the brewers and the distillers have
lot more money to urge their cause before the
people and disparagement of the men who sold
their product-while decidedly ingracious-is
decidedly diplomatic.
The whole booze business was rotten and the
rottenness did not come from the outlet en-
tirely. There was some one furnishing the
stuff which went out of the outlet and that ele-
ment should not be given the chance to stage
a comeback any sooner than the other ele-
ment. There is no chance to compromise with
the liquor element. Compromise means that
this element is going to get back into it's old
way and find the way for debauchery Of the
people

The City Man S Flower Song
BY BERTON BRALEY

+ LOVE to ride the countryside
And see the flowers bloom;,
"A sentiment is in their scent,
Romance in their perfume.
| love the rose that wildly grows,
The daisies bright Of hue.
(Of all the plants that meet my glance
only know these two.)
THE golden-rod may gaily nod,
The lilacs may be fair,
The cowslips may, along the way,
Be- slipping everywhere;
Their scent l Whit, but what's the diff
Betwixt them, don't know;
Or, if you please, which grows on trees,
And which on bushes grow!
As drive by I gladly cry,
: Aren't those do-funnies sweet?
The ding-bobs sure are quite denure;
That whoozis can't be beat"
I'm shy, you see, on botany,
The names I can't recall;
But I can smell them just as well
AS though I knew them all.

A CLEAN. MAIN STREET.

The city administration is to be commended
for the innovation Of cleaning Main street
every Sunday morning. There is nothing
which will give a better impression to
strangers than clean city street and the
thirty or forty thousand visitors going thru
Kenosha on Sunday are pretty certain to be
impressed with the fact that Kenosha has
clean Main street. 1t is regrettable that this
Sunday morning cleaning may not be extended
to some OF the other streets of the city 1t
would be an excellent plan if all of the main
travelled streets of the city could have the
regular Saturday night or early Sunday morn
ing bath.
We are still sufficiently provincial that we
believe in having Sunday Go to Meeting

Eof the week. This is the excellent reason why
fthe streets should be in better condition on
Sunday than any other day. The expense of
cleaning streets should be forced to bring the
greatest good to the greatest number Of people,
Of Kenosha's down town streets there can
be no complaint, but the condition of some of
the streets just on the fringe of the down town
district is open to criticism. The city parks
should have on their best dress on Sunday
morning, for that is the time that thew pro-

parks on Saturday evening would put them in

Vienna. - From a census which has
just been taken in Vienna it appears
that the city has $4,000 dogs, or twice
as many as in peace time. At first
sight it would seem remarkable that so
many people in this poverty-stricken
city should be keeping dogs.
One of the principal reasons is the
increase in the number of burgIaries
and thefts, which has led many house
holds to keep dogs for protection.
Watchmen with police dogs are en-
ployed to guard the great Central
Cemetery from which number of
bodies have been stolen.

No doubt about their destination in

death. The doubters will not have
many years until they know for GER

those years shorter than one drop of

Time is delusion, and that's why the

Greenwich Village has more ghosts
than. any other section of New York.
They're not ectoplastic ghosts, not the
Conan Doyle kind.
In our best literary circles they are
the people whose profession is known
as "ghosting "-that is, a struggling
author hiring himself out at SO much
per word to write a book for some
body else to sign his name to. Thew
have come into fashion with the urge
that has recently attacked about one
IN ten to write book. Lacking tech
nique or patience, anybody with the
price can hire a Greenwich Village
ghost TO do the job.
One villager has written four travel
books under four different signatures.
and has three other contracts.

There is a promenade in the heart

the pedestrian is absolutely safe from

that runs through the middle of Long

Square, from 43rd street to 47th street..
This little right of way is guarded by
police posts and it's safe and tranquil
as any Main Street on rainy Sunday
afternoon. Yet few New Workers use
it; they seem to prefer making a de-
tour, and plunging through the crowds
in negotiating this oblique intersection
of Broadway and Seventh avenue.

going, often for considerable period,

buy the pasteboards for just half the
regular price.
