TURKEYS DRIVEN TO
MARKET YEARS AGO

Speaking of Thanksgiving, G. B.
Ziegler relates how in the early days
turkeys in vast numbers were driven
through Lancaster to Platteville where
they were shipped to market. Flocks
of turkeys as high as 500 in number
were no uncommon sight and it was
worth seeing to watch the turkeys
stepping along in formation. The drive
from Lancaster to Platteville con-
sumed about day. There were other
drives of course, huge herds of horses,
cattle, hogs and sheep going through
in a similar manner.

JURY HEARS
Classy VILE
BEER CASE
A. ]. Lindner on Trial Sec
Ond Time on Issue ''Was
Near Beer Real Stuff?

MADISON-The case of the federal
government VS.. A. J. Lindner, Cass-
vile brewer, was heard before Judge
Luse here this week. At a trial some
months ago a jury acquitted Lindner
of manufacturing beer of more than
one-half of one percent, but found
claimed that if there had been no beer
manufactured there could have been
no SALE The U. S. court of appeals
reversed findings in the first trial and
sent the case back for re-trial.
Fred L. Schultz, prohibition agent,
testified that he and another agent
seized samples of beer on a launch
enroute down the river. Kegs bore
the name of the Cassville company.
Chris Lenstra, government witness,
testified that in his verbal agreement
with Andrew Lindner, he was assured
that he would get the good stuff. "
William H. Dougherty, United States
attorney, contended that this meant
real beer. Defense Attorney Ralph w.
Jackman asserted that any beer that
was not spoiled was good"
Lentsra declared he made frequent
trips to the Cassville brewery in his
motor launch 1t was in this carrier
that he transported the beverages to
his soft drink parlor, at White City
about 20 miles from Cassville. The
witness testified that he paid Lind
ner for good stuff" When asked if
he knew the taste of good beer, Len
stra replied that he was a bartender
for five years before the Volstead act
was passed and that he considered
himself competent to judge the taste
of real beer.
Whether good stuff" means real
beer or near beer, was the question
for the Jury to decide.

MEMBER KNAPP
MAKES RUMPUS
OVER CAR BUY
Wants to Know: "Why
Should Board Meet at ALP"
Silence is Answer.

AS a rule sessions of the Grant
county board are most amicable with
high compliment in reference to COM
mittees, reports, officials, etc. But
once in a while the contrary rules.
At the Friday afternoon session of
the board someone wanted to know
where the report was for the asylum
and county home trustees. Frank
Schreiner, trustee, handed the report
in at that time. Member Shemak,
Castle Rock, arose and wanted to
know what an item of $1,308.35 to a
local garage meant. Mr.. Schreiner
replied that it was for a car. Then
trouble broke loose.
Member Knapp of Bloomington
quoted from the 1921 proceedings of
the board in which the board had
agreed to do certain things such as
repairs and maintenance but had not
agreed to buy a car for home use.
He read the proceedings of the board
of 1921, referring to the car deal, and
asked Mr.. Schreiner why the car was
bought in the face of such action by
the board.
Mr.. Schreiner replied that the trus-
tees construed such action to mean
that it was up to Mr.. Burris to accept
the proposition which he refused to
do, and that the old car stopped run
ming and as it was necessary to have
a car, the trustees bought one.
Mr.. Knapp stated that if that the
officers. of the county refused to be
bound by the action of the board it
was useless to have board meetings
and a useless expense to the county
for the members of the board to come
here and have meetings.
This was heard with silence and
for minute or two one could have
heard pin drop. Chairman Eastman
asked if there were any further re-
marks. There were none so the ses-
sion went on to other business.

Prohibition Live Issue.

Judge Morris A. Soper of Balti-
more. in the case of the federal gov
eminent against Congressman John P.
Hill Of Maryland, rules that the one
half of one percent clause in the Vol
stead act does not apply to beverages
made in the home and for home con-
sumption.
Cong. Hill gave a party, serving CT
der of about three percent alcohol to
guests. He invited prosecution to test
the validity of prohibition enforce
ment as it applies to home manufac-
ture and consumption.
The Herald feels that makers and
vendors of high-power drinks deserve
relentless prosecution. And we feel
also that when the manufacture OF
mild brews begins and ends in the
home the prohibition question is
settled as well as it ever will be.

Politics, Crime and
the Strong Man.

Politics and crime are so thorough
Nv organized in Chicago that law en-
forcement there has become joke.
The petty criminal who picks pock-
ct or iack-rolls a laboring man for a
meal gets his pretty quick. The pro-
fessional criminal, working in front
of an organized political machine is
taken care of regardless of his Of
Tense.
When a criminal is indicted (and
that is rare) the game of jury fixing
begins. If a juror cannot be fixed"
he is intimidated. Should an occasion
al conviction prevail the judges are
taken care of. And behind as last
resort is the pardoning power of the
governor. 1t is a sinister and power
full circle.
All this corruption results from
small but predatory group. Parasites
have found crime to be the most pro
ftable business in the world. Nothing
escapes their purview. Labor exploit
tation. beer running, safe blowing,
stick-ups. mail robberies, white slay-
erv. ct cetera. To make the work safe
as we'll as profitable the machine for
prosecuting crime must be thoroughly
ham-strung. It is done.
An honest police officer (there are
such) is told who to go after and who
TO leave alone. If he is indlscreet
enough to arrest the wrong saloon
keeper or the wrong stick-up or pick
nocket he is sent to the bushes to pa
troll fiat buildings. And even there the
word comes who to leave alone.
All this is anarchy and a very sim
lister prase of it. History teaches that
sooner or later under such system
a strong autocrat appears. The 50
percent law abiding welcome him as
a relief from their sham and hypocr1t-
ical democracy. To date Chicago has
developed no such strong man. The
MAYOR. we'll meaning but futile type,
wakes indignant for a while and then
forgets. The average law abiding and
well meaning citizen is a cowardly
sheen. The time is ripe for strong
autocrat who will at least make life
and property safe and his own law
respected.

AbOrtive Attempts
at Liquor Law
Enforcement.


The Herald sympathizes with coun-
ty board efforts to get at the liquor
nuisance in this county, believing that
both wet and dry members want the
law enforced and decent conditions to
prevail.
Dance regulatory ordinances and
rock piles either in the county or at
Milwaukee while palliatives are not
cures. The county will never be rid of
its bootleggers by half measures.
Stern means will be required and the
county may as we'll face the fact
frankly now as later on.
To properly enforce the law in
Grant county would require dozen
or so enforcement men scattered
through the county and cooperating
with the sheriff Our guess is that
$4,000 year for a couple of years
would make bootleggers as scarce in
this county as Chinese pheasants.
And hootch would be extremely diff
cult if not impossible to get,
Along with rigid enforcement should
come rigid and relentless prosecution.
No farcical Huber laws are going to
dry up Grant or any other county.
This condition is not boys play or a
joke 1t is a stern reality.
The Herald is not advocating the
above We are simply setting forth
what we think would be required to
dry Grant county up. Whether or not
the people think it is worth the cost
to enforce the law is not for us to
say.
Just one thing more-the sheriff is
not uncovered to carry on sweeping
law enforcement liquor violations or
otherwise. The sheriff is a fee officer.
AS such he can act only on authority
of his superior, the district attorney.
The sheriff could not if he would and
not being paid to do it-wouldn't if
he could.
Mr.. Knapp and his supporters on
the board please note.

Flashes
Life is ShOrt-Ten the Truth"
"PoIitics is a Great Came"

"POIiticS is Great Came"
Politics" somebody says, sis a
great game"
Maybe that's so. Maybe politics is
game. A game at which demagogs
and parasites hold all the cards. A
game at which the average citizen is
ait" at all times.
If politics is "only a game" it issthe
most stupendous game in the world,
with millions of human lives as
counters, and empires and continents
as the stakes. But politics is more than
a game; in a country like ours it is
the only government we can have.
Think of it when you foolishly talk
about politics as a game.

the collar as we'll as panels on the
skirt are of the orchid shade, cleverly
