HURLEY MEN GET
JAIL SENTENCES
DOC" Masterson Sentenced TO One
Year; Other Liquor Law Violat-
ors Jolted by Judge Luss.

Several Hurley violators of the
liquor laws were handed severe
iolts at the hands of Judge Luse.
who presided at the term of federal
court held at Superior last week.
Not only did Judge Luse impose
fines in cases where defendants
pleaded guilty or we're found
guilty by jury of violation of the
liquor laws, but in most cases the
fines were accompanied by Jail
sentences.
Probably the most important of
the Hurley cases and the one that
Jared the hardest was that of Hiram
(Doel Masterson, of the Board of
Trade saloon. Masterson had been
indicted on four counts. He
entered a plea of not guilty, but
later pleaded guilty to three of the
counts, namely, sales and possession
of illicit liquor and maintaining a
public nuisance. One count was
nulled upon motion of his attorney.
Judge Luse Immediately sentenced
Masterson to one year in the
Milwaukee House of Correction and
assessed a fine of $1,000. This is
declared to be the stiffest sentence
imposed by Judge Luse at the pre-
sent term of federal court.
Another Hurley saloonkeeper,
Frank Stella, drew Jail sentence
and fine. Stella elected to stand
trial, verdict of guilty being
returned by jury that was out only
80 minutes. Judge Luse sentenced
him to six months in the Milwaukee
House of Correction and imposed a
fine of 5000.
Louis Taglienti Hurley, changed
his plea to guilty and was fined $500
and costs.
Joseph DeRubis, Hurley, who was
in the employ of Domenic Giancola
in The latter's candy store near the
river, pleaded guilty to three counts.
He was sentenced to 40 days in the
Douglas county Jail.
The case against Paul Santini,
Hurley, was continued until the July
term Of court.
Two Saxon residents, Alphonse
LaBlanc and David Martinka, drew
Jail sentences. The former was
sentenced to three months in the
Milwaukee House of Correction and
fined 500. He entered plea of
guilty. Martinka was sentenced to
80 days in the Douglas county Jail
following mis- plea of guilty.
A Kimball farmer, Louis Brunello,
changed his plea of not guilty to
guilty of the charge of manufactur-
ing moonshine and was sentenced to
three months in the Milwaukee
House of Correction and to pay the
costs of the hearing.
Another Kimball farmer, Donata
Canalia, stood trial but was found
guilty by a jury after 80 minutes
deliberation. He drew six months
sentence in the Milwaukee House of
Correction.
Another Hurley case that Is at
tracing considerable attention is
that of Domenic Giancola, former
deputy sheriff Giancola was in
dicted on several counts for alleged
violations of the liquor laws. When
his case was called in court last
Saturday he failed to appear and it
was adjourned to Monday. When
Giancola did not put in an appear

bench warrant and ordered Clan

A Mirror

A newspaper is a mirror OF
its readers. The man who reads
a conservative paper is a conser-
vative at heart. The man who
devours radical publications is
a dyed-in-the-wool radical -
whether he has the courage of
his convictions or not.
You can discover the charac-
ter, emotional balance and men
tai state of man or woman by
observing what they read. You
will also discover their sup
pressed functions - as when a
weakling reads a physical culture
magazine or a timid man sub
merges himself in virile stores Of
the great open spaces. Suppress
ed function is the thing we yearn
for without power to obtain it.

Prohibition

The breakdown of prohibition
in SO many parts of the country
is not due primarily to shortage
of enforcement agents. Nor to
bribery. Nor to increased cum
ming by the liquor ring.
The real trouble is the disap-
pearance of the campaign
against John Barleycorn as an
economic evil and destroyer of
its victims.
When the United States went
dry, about 200 Of its approx
mately $500 counties already
had adopted prohibition, either
by local option or State legisla-
ton.
NATIONAL prohibition real
~ affected only the remaining
wet districts mere fraction of
the whole country.
These 2200-odd counties had
gone dry voluntarily-by con-
sent of majority of the people.
They went dry as a result of
years and years of educational
and emotional campaigning
against alcohol as an evil.
King Alcohol was preached
against, lectured against, written
against. He became disreputa-
bic, was banished.
But as soon as national prohi-
bition went into effect, the ed
vocational campaign against him
ceased. Temperance became a
matter Of obeying law rather
than Of personal common sense.
Public memory is short. Peo-
pie are forgetting the evils of al
coholic abuse. A new genera
ton, that was too young to be
impressed by the temperance
campaign, is growing up and
toting hip TASKS.
Prohibition is farce in many
sections because it is an attempt
to stop the SELLING of booze
instead of stopping the DRINK
ING of booze.
Booze is a temperance prob
lem. But few look at it in that
light Instead, they look on it
as a matter of obeying a piece
of legislation rushed through
Congress when millions of vot-
ers were overseas in the army
and soft dring and other lobbies
manipulating wartime patriotic
hysteria to their own purposes
Prohibition is a problem of
thirst rather than of quencher-
of the desire to buy rather than
the eagerness to sell it for profit.
And prohibition will continue
to be a failure until it is APP
preached sensibly as a temper.
ance problem. Some believe
that light wines and beer are the
ways to temperance. Others
disagree. One of these days
there'll be a showdown.

Bobbed Hair 300 Years
Ago

Conservative persons horri-
fed at the bobbed hair epidemic,
may be interested to know that
it has swept certain parts Of the
civilized world in ancient and
modern history, says the New
York World. in some places wo-
men were compelled to sacrifice
long and beautiful tresses so
they would not be vain of their
good looks. Elsewhere short
hair was a sign of serfdom and
inferiority among girls and
women belonging to the class of
slaves.
Bodied hair was adopted by
women of the highest social po-
sition in England 800 years
ago. They persisted in it until
their men folks, and even royal
ty, were driven almost frantic.
An amusing account of this
extraordinary craze is given in
a letter written by John Cham
berlain, a famous Londoner of
that day. On January Is, 1880,
he made the following record:
Yesterday the bishop of Lon
don called together all his clergie
about this towne, and told them
he had exprsse commandment
from the king to will them to in
weigh vehemently against the in
science of our women. and
they're wearing of brode brim-
med hats, pointed dublets, they're

forme them he void proceed by

honesty

Graft on a big scale is mir
ror rejecting petty dishonesty
among the public. Dishonesty is
not just a matter of theft; it ex-
lists wherever a man fails to give
a fair return for what he gets,
either in commodities or serv-
ice. p
The merchant reading his
scales a bit in his favor is the
genesis of graft by some large
corporations. The consumer
who SWITCHES a ripe plum when
the grocer isn't watching. or who
fails to pay his fare when the
conductor overlooks him, is
contributor to the system Of big
plumber.
In politics, too, Government
is just as good or just as bad as
the average of the people gov
erned. When public ethics are
lax, watch for graft in high
places. When - as in the last
presidential election - nearly
half the eligible voters fail to
go to the polls. it reveals an in
difference as to whether govern
ment is honest or crooked.
The people are the tree; con-
spicious conditions, the fruit.

MYSTERIOUS

The most fascinating things in
modern life are taking place in thc
scientific laboratory-which used to
be dull place for most people.
For instance, Professor Huxley
takes a normal egg that WOULD
hatch and produce only one newt
(salamander). He ties a string
around the center. The egg grad
ually separates into two, from each
.of which matches a healthy, normal
salamander. Again, he CRAFTS TWO
eggs together-and only one sala-
mander matches.
Life is more mysterious, the
closer we get to its secret.
SEX
Here is magic. Whether it'll ever
be useful knowledge or not, no one
knows. Professor Huxley changes
the sex of guinea pigs, turing male
into female and vice versa. He does
it, yet cannot understand it-any
more, he says, than he can figure
out what makes an elephant or any
other animal grow to certain size
and then stop instead of continuing
until it's as big as a mountain at
death.
