Keep, and Enforce, Dance Law.

Keep, and Enforce, Dance Law.
Wisconsin in 1923 passed a law
to license and supervise dance
halls. The intent was to control
the situation arising from the
presence of roadhouses near cities
but outside the police jurisdiction
of those cities. There was no pur-
pose to legislate these roadhouses
out of existence; the aim was to
raise their standards and to him
llnize moral dangers to young
people.
Within six months Ia counties
had taken advantage of the Ridg-
way law to enact county regula-
tory measures. In some counties
dance supervisors were appointed
and in others the deputy sheriffs
were clothed with powers of super
vision. The important thing ac-
complished was this that some
official was designated to keep in
touch with these places and see
that proper standards were OBJ
served.
Now we hear rumblings from
various counties that the law has
not worked we'll. The roadhouses
run as in the old days. And there
is talk Of an effort to have the law
repealed at the next session of the
legislature.
Against such talk it is worth
while to point out in many coun-
ties the law has worked well. 1t
has bettered things in Milwaukee
county. If it has not worked out
in some communities, then those
communities need to look to their
own manner of enforcing it.
The public dance is perhaps not
a very valuable form of recreation,
but it appeals to people, and they
use it. So long as they do, the
only way is to- regulate these
dances, trying to be more and
more efficient in the regulation.
We cannot think that agitation
to repeal this law comes from any
one who understands the dance
hall and has a sincere desire to
make it a comparatively safe place
for young people.-The Milwaukee
Journal.

JUST FISH STORIES
ss@sgGseeeHs:sae;sseeeeeN ~


An ardent fisherwoman is Mrs.
A. H. STANCE of Merrill, and with
out a doubt this estimable lady
secures more real Izaak Walton en-
ioyment out Of fishing, trip than
does most any other angler. There
is a reason. Mrs. STANCE fishes for
the pleasure in fishing, and for the
baCtle one meets up with when a
musky is hooked. 1t is said that
she would anytime leave a bully
good meal if she was sure of run
ming amuck with a North Wiscon-
sin king of the waters and bat
Ting him to finish-his finish
generally, for Mrs. S. knows how
to handle rod with the best of
them. Funny story connected
with the 15-pound musky she
landed from the Wisconse river
last week while here visiting her
daughter Mrs. E. w. Ellis. And
by the way, Mrs. Ellis is another
disciple of the renowned guy who
has broken up many happy homes
by the head Of the family ambling
off for a day to be spent upon
some stream with a rod, reel and
an Unsuitable appetite for a catch
Of fnny fellows. To get back to
the story: When Mr.. STANCE left
Merrill couple weeks ago for the
west on a business trip, he calmly
informed his spouse that on her
trip to Eagle River he knew full
we'll she would go fishing; that he
would bet her the top story of the
Woolworth building, or something
on that order, that she would fail
in the taking of even a bluegill.
John Sheseley; who guided Mrs.
STANCE down the Wisconse is
authority that Mrs. S. really
landed the 15-pound fish, besides
bringing home several weighty
Walleyes, and that when it comes
to real angling for the pleasure
of the sport, Mrs. STANCE has no
peer. Granddad STANCE is sure
out of luck in guessing ON his
wife's ability as catcher of fish
and had better remain silent here
after when she starts north for a
visit"

Chicago Hangs Very
 Few of Its Murderers

Chicago.-It is easier to get away with murder than any other crime in Chicago and Cook county, according to the report issued by the committee on courts and prosecution. Out of 270 murders in 1923, there was but one hanging, although nine were sentenced to death. the report shows.
 The report shows that the criminal court has adopted an unsympathetic attitude toward gunmen, as in 1923 penalties in cases of robberies with a gun increased to nearly 54 per cent as compared with 21 per cent in 1921.
 The committee agrees with leaders of thought throughout the United States, that predatory crime. as na- sional problem. is becoming more and more serious and that the number of youthful offenders is decidedly on, the increase. The remedy, it is stated, wil1 be found only in the cultivation of an American system, of education and home life.
