The Gang Problem Lies
DaeDer Than Curbing Beer Running.

To rid Chicago of beer running the
chief of police has ordered the arrest
of every vagrant in the city. Several
recent murders of gangsters engaged
in running beer brought the matter to
a climax.
The solution of the gang problem
lies deeper than arresting beer run
ners. If it were possible to arrest a
man and give him a new Set of ideals
the problem would be promptly solved.
RegrettaIbly, beer running is only a
phase or symptom.
The gangster has an Unborn con-
tempt for honest work and hatred Of
law and order Policemen are his
natural enemies. Thwarting the law
his daily occupation. The wight who
takes up with earning his daily bread
in legal way is >''soft" and held IN
contempt and derision by his former
pals.
Law and order, decency and honest
government will not be brought about
until the mass of the people including
gangsters have the proper idealism.
How to bring this about is the problem
rather than the spasmodic prosecu-
ton of gangsters.

Milwaukee County AbandOns
Heavy Bonding Method.


Milwaukee county, the largest and
Wealthiest area in the state, has detln-
itely decided to put it's building pro-
gram, involving expenditures of from
$1,000 900 to $10,000000 on a cash bas
is at once. Expenditures will be paid
for by direct taxation instead of bond
issues, if a resolution presented to The
county board of supervisors is adopt
county board of supervisors by the
hartman w. r. McCarty is adopted.
This resolution will provide for
placing in the county budget this year
and annually hereafter a tax levy Of
100000 for building fund. From
this fund will be provided money for
buying sites and erecting county
buildings during the coming years.
Chairman McCarty has figured out
that by levying a direct tax instead of
issuing bonds the county will save
about $25O,000 year in interest
charges. This. in the aggregate, adds
nearly so per cent of the cost of I'M
pr0Vements, or in this case from 3d.
500 900 to $5,000,000 saved by levying
"a tax instead of issuing bonds.
The plan was followed by Milwau-
kee county in building its concrete
roads. AS a result the county has a
splendid system of highways costing
several million dollars without adding
a cent to the county's bonded debt
The moral to the foregoing is plain.
improvements should be anticipated
and provided for Bonding makes an
Improvement cost about double.

Violence Breeds Violence
and Blood May Flow.
(Ft. Atkinson Union)

(FL. AIh1uSOu
Outrage breeds outrage and instead
of a peaceful community we will soon
have rival organizations bent on flog
ging and killing each other. That has
been the history of secret political or
carnations in the past with one ex-
ception. The future holds no golden
promise for the present Ku-KluX-
Khan. The old Klu-Klux-Klan was or
ganized to break down and destroy
the 14th and 18th amendments to our
sacred constitution. 1t was a great
success in that because it was conspir-
acy against a superstitious race of
Weakling s-the negroes, whom the
north would not count as brothers
The present Ku-KluX-Klan has a diff
ferent race to deal with. Instead of
being pitted against the ignorant black
man it is pitted against the resourceful
white man Blood flowed in the days
of the old Klu-Klux-Klan but it was
nearly always black BLOOD This time
it will be white blood and it won't be
one-sided. 1t would be we'll for citi-
zens of Wisconsin, about to pledge
themselves to the Klu-Klux-Klan, to
pause and see if they really wish to
start something they cannot finish
without a river of blood, in which their
own will mingle.

Results OF Prohibition Enforcement.

a news dispatch from Washington
states that federal prohibition agent
seized property valued at nearly
$4,000 900 and 108,738 gallons Of spir-
IT'S during last year. Included in The
liquor seizures were 6,101 gallons OF
glenatured alcohol and rubbing COM

bi1es, 81 motor boats, 20 horses ano
mules, and countless bottling ma
chimes, pumps, barrels and Other
booze making apparatus. More than
5000 strips Of counterfeit revenue

The foregoing will indicate that fed

from the mass of violations that the
liquor nuisance is as far from settle
