Home Brews, Wine Not
Under Ban-DOn't Sell
Authorities Concerned Chiefly With
BOOtlegging Operations.

Home brewers who like a nip of
wine or beer and occasionally offer a
little drink to a guest need not worry
over search, seizure and prosecution
unless they are in the game of making
and selling. That's bad stuff and dan
gerous.
Enforcement officials are taking the
stand that moonshine making and
vending is a menace to public health
and morals and should be suppressed.
To this end authorities are making
strenuous efforts to stamp out the traf-
fic. Occasionally, looking for a hootch
plant they find a bottle of wine or a
batch of home brew.
However, as the HERALD under
stands it, the officers are not hunting
gnats while there are tigers to shoot
at The comparatively innocent pas
time of home wine or beer making is
not being regarded as worthy of SER
ious concern as long as it is kept with
IN the home and the parties do not
make a nuisance of themselves.
Whether there are enough jails in
the state to house all those who make
wine or beer for home use is a ques-
ton. A good many vets who would

BRIDGEPORT NAN SOJOURNING IN
MERRIE ENGLAND, HIS BIRTHPLACE

there I took the train for Stratford-
On-Avon. On this trip, passed thru
much splendid farming country hat
looked for all the world, like the pest
parts of southwest Wisconsin.
The dream of my life was the visit
to my birthplace and home of that
greatest of all poets, William Shakes
peare I was not disappointed. The
town, the river, and the surrounding
country are as clean and beautiful as
imagination could picture. The people
have the right spirit and try to pre-
serve all the historic places, and they
are right on the job to make visitors
feel at home.
In Ireland, all through the month of
May, there was cold rainy weather. AS
soon as 1 reached England 1 met nice
sunny June days and it was so nice at
Stratford to sit at a little table out in
a garden, in the shade of high hedge
of hawthorne, and eat crisp lettuce,
fresh plucked with cold meats, bread
and tea. The mutton, bacon and ham
of England are so far ahead of our
American packing house goods that
there is no comparison. 1t is delicious.
The river Dee at Chester, and the
Avon are both fine streams, clear and
of good depth for pleasure boats, and
I would say they are about as large
as Rock River at Edgerton. From
here I expect to visit Oxford, then
London and vicinity and then spend
some time among the farmers and bee
keepers of Kent.
Hoping all is we'll and that Wiscon-
sin is having fine weather and good
crop conditions.
Your old friend,
HARRY LATHROP.

BOSCOBEL

Rev. John Field, beloved pastor of
st. Mary's congregation, Fennimore,
recently observed his 30th anniversary
in the priesthood. Twenty-eight years
of his exemplary service has been de-
voted to the charge which he now
holds and its prosperous condition
speaks for his executive ability and
jealous efforts.
DR.. Chas. Rodolf's fine new passen-
ger bus is making daily trips to Madi-
son from this city and is considered
a great convenience by the travelling
public. With ample room for Is pas
sengers and extra space for luggage it
makes a massive outfit and rides with
comfort. William Huff is one of the
drivers, having at present the early
morning trip, returning at night, be-
ing relieved of the mid day run by a
driver from the capital city.
An automobile collision in which
passengers in both cars almost mirac-
ulously escaped serious if not fatal in
juries occurred last Wednesday even
ing when the cars of j. F. Scott and
Frank Heffner came together in the
Sanders creek road on the outskirts Of
the city. With Mr.. Heffner were his
wife and little grandchild in arms; in
the Scott car were Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott, Mrs. A. S. Huff and daughter
Harriet, and Mrs. Perry Smith. Mr..
Scott noted the approach of the Heff-
ner car and when the crash became
imminent he brought his own car to a
stop No doubt this reduced the effects
of the impact. All were more or less
shocked and bruised, Mrs. Smith be-
ing injured the most painfully. Both
cars were badly maged.-Dail.

in Dodgeville SUM-

my soul burns in it's own light;
1 stand without fear in the midst of
thousands"
To say anything new or worth while
of LaFollette is not easy. His life, his
work and his character are known to
all.
He began as a poor boy and refused
to work up" in the usual meaning of
the words, dying poor, as he lived, and
so according to the standards by
which most people judge, was a fail
ure.
But flags in tens of thousands do not
float at half mast for a failure. 1t is
evident that LaFollete was different
from what the customary American
standards require a man to be. And
the special honors we paid him are tes-
timony that he was better than those
standards require.
Could Have Died Rich.
He did not believe in the current
Americanism, and he refused to con-
form to it. He staid poor when he
could have been rich. He was willing
to be laughed at and called a crank,
when he could have won easy honors
by joining the ruling faction. He
stood his ground alone when he was
bitterly reviled, instead of slimily
shifting, as the recognized dictates of
prudence demand.
He fought all his life for what he
believed to be the right, during an
epoch when it is expected that men of
ability shall fight only for what bene-
fits themselves personally in the ma
terial sense. He committed what is
considered a great breach of proprie-
ty by being persistently different from
others in his intellectual class.
His practice was to antagonize GUS
tom in order to be right. He fought
for better things, and he never stop
ped or grew weary OF the battle.
Steadfast to Purpose.
In a time when most other men in
public life considered their only duty
to be the defense of things as they
were, he devoted himself to legislation
that was constructive. His achieve
ment in this line was very great, and
no more impressive thing could be
said of him than that when his enc
mics came temporarily to power they
found his work so sound and correct
that they never even thought of I'M
doing it, although they had placed
every conceivable hindrance in his
way while he was accomplishing his
tasks.
Running directly counter to the
practically universal belief among poll
iticians that the people must be Cow
erned by deceit, he chose for his slo-
gan, eye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free!"
Never Took Easiest Way.
In a day when it was the rule to
take the easiest way, he swan up
stream. He never followed the fashion
of cringing. The will-power of Lit

consider it absolutely criminal to
make beverages and sell them, do not
hesitate to keep a small supply for
their own use, feeling that there is no
violation of the moral law at least, in
their conduct.
1t is exceedingly doubtful if law en-
forcement will ever be made so rigor-
Gus as to include invasion of the home
in search of such beverages. A very
general belief exists that when the
liquor problem narrows down to this
point it becomes we'll and definitely
settled. A wise COVER nment closes its
eyes or looks the other way.

Print More Notes.
sy the Assoclated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 9.-Financial writer's
In newspapers here today credited
Finance Minister CaillauX with plan
to print four billion francs more of
bank notes and to increase the Bank
of Frances limit of advances to the
government by like amount. 80 that
the government can meet maturing
bonds.
NJ. Caillaux was to appear this
afternoon before the Chamber of Dep
uties finance commission to outline
his proposals for rehabilitating
Frances finances. 1t was assumed he
had obtained, according to custom. the
cabinets s approval of his ideas at this
mornings session, but nothing was
revealed officially.
NJ. Caillauxs plan was said to be
about to ask Parliament to authorize
additional advances of 100000 900
francs from the Bank of France to
the government, which would increase
the bank note circulation by that
amount. 1t was understood, however,
that this action would be so hedged
with restrictions as to speedy repay
ment out of a loan. probably to be
hoated in the United States, that this
not. in the minister's opinion, really
be imitation.
The holders of bonds amounting to
almost 1000, 100000 francs maturing
July and of almost 3,500.000 900 ma
turing September l have filed demands
for reimbursement. NJ Caillaux cal
culates that much of this money to
be paid to the bond holders will be re-
invested in other government securl-
hI1t hill hn
money to pay these bonds when they
mature.
The government last Thursday bor-
rowed within 10000, 900 francs of its
legal borrowing limit from the Bank
of France, and there remains only
about 1888, 100000 francs margin for
further increase in the circulation.
