FIVE YEARS OF PROHIBITION

To an important minority, if not
to an actual majority Of our people
prohibition, as expressed in the Vol
stead act, seems not only a failure,
but also blunder. To no one except
prosperous bootleggers and corrupt
enforcement agents, has the expert
ence of the last five years been wholly
satisfactory. 1t is a subject of i'm
mense difficulty and complexity; pub
lie opinion fumbles around it's edges,
arriving nowhere. Prohibition has
made dishonest men out of heretofore
good citizens.
The American people have no more
vital business to settle than this. But
until the public, all of us, put aside
our prejudices and demand an open
investigation and candid discussion,
the politicians at Washington will
shuttle and curry favor, evade and
postpone. A bad law will not be obey
ed anu cannot be enforced. To mil
lions of Americans, the Volstead act
is bad law. What are we going to
do about it?

DINNER PAIL EPICS


Just recently they tried two boys

pert capers.

misst that Babe" wuz called an ath-
eist, and ct up Nietzsche by the ream,
until, 'twuz sed, he used to dream
that he wuz some real superman with
morals fit for garbage can.
Well, preachers and SNUG moral
lists just chewed on that word Atheist,
and so used up a lotta time explain
ing twuz the cause of crime. TwuZ
what the kids had failed to believe
that made their added brain conceive
that they wuz master Of the art of
killing with malignant heart.
Here's one experience we gain
that explanations don't explain.
Well, say, their sentence wuz just
in when papers had fresh streams of
sin. A preacher, who should fight
Old Nick, has done it with some ar
senic, with which he favored food
and stuff until his victims had enuf.
His wife wuz swiftly put away; his
sWeetheart's husband had his day
Believing in the realms above, they
killed to have illicit love. The
preacher didn't share at all the views
on women of St. Paul. Ordained this
world of sin to purge, he suffered
from the kosmik urge. To joys Of
flesh he sure would turn; 'twuz better
far to kill than burn.
The preachers boss gave out hope
that pagan minds won't get the dope
that Methodism wuz the cause WIN
Brother Hight had broke the laws.
From which you see that Methodism
don't act as cause like atheism
All which, | say, does go to show,

Another Convict is
Flogged to Death
(By Federated Press)

Greenwood, S. C.-Melvine Payne,
young worker serving a three
months sentence on the Greenwood
county chain-gang for theft of an au-
tomobile, is dead here after whip
ping by chain-gang boss.
The chain-gang boss, E. L. Devere,
testified that he whipped Payne a
short time before his death for dis
obeying orders but gave him "only
10 to II light strokes" with a strap.
1t was said that the youth complain
ed of cramps in the hand and that
the gang boss had given him two
doses of aromatic spirits of ammonia
of 60 drops each. The two physicians
who made the autopsy stated they
could find no evidence of physical
disability.
A coroner's jury returned verdict
that Payne "came to his death from
causes unknown after a severe pun
ishment by E. L. Devere." Coroner
P. T. Faulker said he would take no
action in the case. The victim was
a negro.
There is no way for a prisoner to
make public his plight. His outgoing
mail is censored and any mention of
cruelty not onlv stops the letter but
brings the prisoner to the barrel
where he is tied down and the strap
put in action. Any complaint OF
sickness is rewarded by whipping.
Not 10 or 12 strokes but so and &C
are delivered until the prisoners back
looks like a piece of raw beef.
South Carolina is very religious
state. The governor states that he
prays every day and many mayors
are members of Billy Sunday clubs
vet no action is taken on the numer-
Gus complaint of cruelty to South
Cardinals prisoners.

A PLANT THAT COUGHS

There is a variety of bean that
grows in hot climates which seems
very human. 1t has a violent dislike
for dust, and when a few grains have
gathered on it's leaves, the air-cham-
bers that cover the faces of the leaves
and are the plants breathing organs,
become filled with gas and swell, then
there is a slight explosion and a
sound that very much resembles the
human cough. In this manner the
dust is blown away.

CONRAD

What a wary old world it is in
wisdom. Conrad's manuscripts are
now bringing fabulous sums, sums
equalling, in some instances Dickens
and Thackerays script Conrad isn't
dead. He's alive and writing reams.
How does it come that he could make
3 living merely out Of the sale of his
manuscripts? What is the virtue of
his novels which gives him a manu-
script market? The recognition of the

appeared in tine Portage Register:
Some influential business men"
in every town who, themselves, never
advertise. are always overly solict
tious for their neighbors who do, and
allow themselves to become distress
ingly exercised because Of the pro-
fiigacy with which other keen sight
ed business men throw their money
to the newspapers.
Portage, just now, has at least one
in that sadly panied class. He's now
going about telling his worries to 10
cal advertisers on the suppositlon
that he has discovered a real hold
up. The banditry is charged in his
statement that the Regislter-Demo-
crat recently charged an advertiser
500 for space that he could have
purchased in Baraboo for SO.
The Register-Democrat is not con
cerned with transactions between
Baraboo publishers and their patrons.
! This paper has its advertising rate,
/ just as the merchant has his prices
on his stock in trade; and further ii
don't believe that any Baraboo pa
per is giving away it's space.
This same business man would OBJ
ject to any impungning of his veraci-
ty in business matters, just as we
object to his short -sighted interior,
ence in advertising affairs about
which he knows so little; and we
! admit our surprise that any bust
ness man should allow himself to be
"kidded'' into making statement so
| Illogical on it's face The divergence
between nine and a hundred is pretty
wide.
We will say, however, that among
thirty Wisconsin daily papers only
one in the state has a lower adver-
Using rate than the Register Demo
! GRAFT; and the paper in question is
not printed in Baraboo.
/ The horror Of it ala Is, Mr.. "Influ-
entail Business Man." that the same
fellow who was "frisked' has Just
come back and asked us to do il
again-which leads US to remark that
while one may be able to buy horse
rake for q dollar In Baraboo he
can't do it in Portage.

WHAT GOOD ROADS WILL DO

What good roads will do Is wildly
indicated by the great increase in
West Virginia automobile registra
ton for 1923. The percentage of in
rease is 40.6; the average for the
United States is 23 per cent. West
Virginia has been busily engaged in
good-road building, and now has a
fine backbone" system.
The welfare of the people of any
State is becoming more and more
linked up with motor transportation.
That the growth of motor Transports
tion depends entirely upon the extern
sion of hard surfaced roads is well
indicated In these figures.

SAVE THE ROADS

Enforcement Of the law regarding
the use of roads when the ground Is
thawing is essential" declares George
Bechwar, editor of The West Bend
Pilot. This is the time when most
strain Is put on stone and gravel
roads, he says. If the owners of heavy
motor trucks would all do as some
have and notify the road officials
when they want to do heavy hauling
and are doubtful about the condition
of the road, he believes they would
save the taxpayers thousands OF dol
lars.
