A Sensible Standpoint.

Coolidge assured the New YorK
Chamber of Commerce that business
big or business little has nothing to
fear from his administration as long
as competitive conditions are kept
open and business does what it should
do and that is gain its laurels by
brains and hard work. This is as it
should be. Happily the people of the
country as q whole recognize that
prosperity and that batting men just
because they have made money is
demagogism pure and simple. 1t is
only in isolated localities that profess
sional politicians are able to make
voters swallow the old hokum about
business men being bunch of rob-
bers.

Cong. Hill of Maryland, chief fight

repeal the Volstead act and allow each
state to interpret the constitutional
amendment on alcoholics on the basis
of public opinion. That is, if the state
is "wet." the Interpretation will be
that way and if the state is dry"
why dry it will be. The bill is as fol-
lows:
"Section |. Each state shall for
itself define the meaning of the words
Intoxicating liquors as used in sec

Section 2. Any person who trans

not more than 10 years or by fine
of not less than $4,000 nor more

Raid Second Street Saloon

Sheriff Harry Livingston with Dep
uties Bayley, Kicks and Oleson raid
ed the Second street saloon of George
Wedge at Platteville Thursday night,
taking half pop bottle full of al
legged reduced alcohol as evidence.
When the officers came in the pro-
prietors essayed to empty a bottle of
liquid and did so but the sheriff's men
scraped enough from the pan to serve
as evidence. An ingenious electric
dumping device was found in the place
but there was no one at hand to oper-
ate it when the raid was made. 1t
was apparent to the officers that the
device was arranged so that bottle
of liquid located on plate or shelf
could be upset by means of pushing
a button The contents would then
drain away.
In the melee of the raid one of the
saloon men essayed to get in the way
of Officer Kicks and ran against the
said officers fist, suffering a bloody
nose. Kicks is an ex-piano mover and
a husky individual.

YOUNG ROBBER
RIFLES DEPOT
CASH DRAWER
Burton Jones, Age IL, Held
For BOscObel Burglary
Other Court Notes.

Burton Jones, II, Ladysmith youth
and son of minister who is sick with
an incurable ailment, is held in the
county Jail on charge of rif1ing the
depot till at Boscobel last Thursday
morning. He waived examination be-
fore Justice Payne of Boscobel and
awaits hearing on charge of bur-
glary in the night time before Judge
S. E. Smalley at the now pending term
of circuit court
Young Jones was arrested at Rich
land Center Thursday afternoon where
he had gone from Boscobel. He was
taken to Boscobel, arraigned, and
brought to Lancaster the same day.
Gust Martin, night operator at the
Milwaukee road depot, saw young
Jones hanging around the depot We'd
nesday evening. No attention was
paid to the youth except that several
acquaintance saw him and recog-
nized him. About Z o'clock the next
morning Martin found part of his re-
ceipts had been stolen.
StuffS Rubber in Wicket Catch
Jones had beaten his way into Bos-
cobel from Illinois Wednesday. He
loafed at the depot at night and saw
how easy it was to reach through the
window and tap the till. While Mar
tin was slumbering, Jones stuffed rub
Der in the wicket catch so that it
would not close when Martin went out
Martin went to the postoffice with a
mail sack about a. M, supposedly
closing the wicket. Jones opened the
wicket and pried open the cash drawer
with a pair of pliers. He helped
himself and disappeared. Jones took
but $31.15, leaving part of the cash in
the till, presumably to- avert suspic-
ion.
Headed for Richland Center
Jones headed for Richland Center,
catching rides When he arrived he
bought new hat and shoes. He was
picked up and questioned by Marshall
Miller of Richland Center. The offic-
ialchecked the purchases against the
amount taken from the depot less the
sum Jones had on him. Everything
was accounted for but 35c This sum
Jones had spent for candy. The youth
finally made a clean breast of the
theft and told how he had accomplish
ed it.
The quick manner in which the ar
rest was made was due to the identi-
fication of him by two young men of
Platteville who saw the boy there in
the evening. When the theft was
noised around it was an easy matter
to phone Richland Center giving a
description of the supposed bandit.
Jones says he was headed north to
see his father who is ill with cancer.

Misses Ederle and
Harrison Attempt
Channel Swim Today

BoulOgne, France, Aug. 6.-(AP)
"A combined attack upon the tur-
bulent waters of the English Chan
mel will. be made tomorrow night
when women champions from North
and South America, Gertrude Ederle
OF New York and Lillian Harrison
of Buenos Aires, start stroking from
Cape Gris-Nez for the English shore
at Dover. The two swimmers will
enter the water at 1890 o'clock.
Today Miss Ederle. who has been
training in the Channel waters for
longer than a month, took a final
workout. Those who watched her
slipping through the water of Griz-
Nez were amazed at the American
girls speed and stamina. She has
made a tremendous impression here
and the opinion is expressed that If
it Is possible for a woman to swim
the Channel, Miss Ederle will do it..
Weather conditions have been fairly
good on the Channel during the last
few days and tonight were gradually
improving.
Miss Harrison's fourth attempt to
swim the channel has added interest
to Miss Ederle's swim.
Miss Ederle plans to start her
swim tomorrow at the time Miss
Harrison enters the water, but Miss
Harrison said she hoped to reach
Dover before her American rival.
The swim will not be in the nature
of a race. but more of contest
against tides and currents and test
of stamina in the cold and choppy
channel waters.

On Coal Controversy

Swampscott, Mass, Aug. 6-(AP)
Attorney General Sargent will con-
fer here tomorrow with President
Coolidge. Although it was said to-
day Mr.. Sargent's visit was without
significance it is likely however that,
with tieup Of anthracite mines on
Sept. l threatened, Mr.. Coolidge
will take advantage of the opportu-
nifty to go over that situation with
the attorney general.
Thus far there has been no indica-
tiion that the president will take a
hand in the anthracite wage contro-
versy and it is understood that he
has not yet determined ON a policy
to be pursued.
Receiving his first caller in two
days, Mr.. Coolidge late today had as
a visitor Representative w. E. Hull
Of Illinois. member of the Ameri-
can delegation to the Pam American
conference on highways which will
be held in the fall in Buenos Aires.
Arrangements were made by Mr..

agricultural and business conditions
in the west.
