WEDDING TO THIRD WIFE

NEW YORK.-Brigham H. Roberts,
president Of the Eastern States MIS-
sion of the Mormon church, explains
that his recent marriage in Chicago
to DR.. Margaret Curtis Shipp was on
ly to legalize his plural marriage to
her 33 years ago.
Mr.. Roberts, dignified, whlte-halrd
man of 81, said that before 1890, when
the late President Lorenzo Snow 81
the Mormon church banned plural
marriages, he had contracted three
marriages. His first wife, to whom ne
was legally wed, died last May.
This left him free to marry legally
DR.. Shipp second of his wives. TIE
third woman to whom Mr.. Roberts

ONE-HALF OF TOBACCO
CROP ESCAPED FROST

MADISON.-About So per cent of
the tobacco acreage in the state was
harvested without frost damage and
with heavy yields, it was announced
by the state and federal crop report
ing service at Madison. The early
frosts of Sept II and Is injured AZ
per cent of the acreage, causing a
damaged quality, lighter yields, and
an entire abandonment of IA per cent
of the states acreage.
Of the leading tobacco counties,
Vernon county had harvested 81 per
cent of the acreage before the frost,
Rock 81 per cent and Crawford 72 per
cent. Dane and Columbia counties
were less fortunate with only SO per
cent of the crop cut before the frost.
Rock county left the smallest acreage
unharvested, only per cent being
abandoned in that county. Dane
county abandoned IL per cent, while
in Vernon county the frost damage
was so severe that % per cent of the
acreage was left unharvested.
Growers report heavy yields of
sound tobacco, the average for the
state being 1,400 pounds an acre.
Frosted tobacco yielded 1,030 pounds
on an average. Dane county reports
an average yield Of 1,470 pounds OF
unfrosted tobacco and 1,120 pounds of
frosted tobacco Growing conditions
were less favorable in the western
part of the state, and yields in Yer
non and Crawford counties are about
200 pounds less than in Dane and
Rock counties.
In spite of frost damage, this years
crop is about 100000 pounds larger
than last year. A larger acreage this
year with an average yield of LILO
pounds indicates a crop of 100000
pounds.

Home Wine Making As
TOmEared to BOOtleggfng.

The Herald is asked why we adopt
DOlicy of calling for the suppression
of the moonshine traffic and have
nothing to say against home manutac-
ture of beverages, home brew, WINE,
etc.
Our answer is that we believe the
manufacture and sale of potent liquors
is not only harmful, but positively IL
legal. We do not maintain that thlS
traffic can be stamped out. we 40
maintain that Indifference and light
fines will not check 1t.
The man who cannot see distinc-
tion between moonshine making, run
ming and drinking and the comparl-
tively innocent procedure Of fixing up
q little batch of brew for home use is
blind indeed. If it were not for the
profits in making booze, certain peo-
nile would not engage in the business.
If it were not for the extreme kick
other people would not drink the
product.
Home brewing and wine making for
personal use and not for sale Is an ar
older than history. People have al
ways done this. Probably they always
will do II. A wise congress has little
10 say on the SuDJSCC CIlAu q "ASOA
gorcement department holds that this
factor of the liquor problem does not
call for it's efforts. What" the de-
partment concludes, "is the use OIL
shooting at gnats when there are
tigers all around us"
The enforcement agencies in this
country are concerned entirely with
the manufacture for sale and the sell
ing end of liquor law violations. Meth
er national nor state legislation has
been directed against the maker OIL
fruit juices, mildly alcoholic or not, SO
long as he keeps out of the selling
game and uses common sense in the
amount he makes up. This is sense
and this is Justice
The Herald stands for law enforce
ment where the evil is most apparent
We stand for temperance and we are
opposed to impractical prohibition us
il is now being interpreted and also
widely violated in this country.

show that Gov. Ritchie would natu-
rally expect to have assurances from
Washington that the gasoline tax bill
would actually become a law. It seems
to me that such assurance from the
Commissioners Of the District would be
sufficient. Gov. Richie might find it
embarrassing II the law were not
passed.
II think, though. that the time has
arrived to find away and not to look
for drawbacks. The people of both
jurisdictions have been unnecessarily
annoyed as 1t is and think 1t would
be infinitely unfair If they were
asked to buy two sets of tags again
next year when reciprocity seems
to be only around the corner. l
sincerely hope the governor will find
sure he will do the best he can
State Attorney General Alexander
Armstrong earlier today, expressed
oepting the proposal. and the gov
ernor himself admitted in a telephone
conversation from New York that he
undoubtedly had that power under
existing statutes. The governor gave
a hint of the stand he would take
when he first pointed out that p
wanted the gasoline tax bill enacted
into law, but added: "One thing is
certain, though. We are going to have
reciprocity"
The governor will return to BALI
more from New York either late to-
morrow or early Monday. He will
take up the District proposal imme-
diately and 1t Is not unlikely that 3e
will make known his views the same
