WISCONSIN IN

Stirred by Opinion That
States Have Right to
Make, Sell Liquor.

MILWAUKEE,. June 17.-An opin-
ion from j. G. Hardgrove. former
president Of the Milwaukee Bar AS
ISOLATION. that any state in the union
may manufacture and retail liquor
has resulted in a new drive in Wis
cOnsin against prohibition.
Hardgrove's opinion declared that
the eighteenth amendment does not
prohibit states from manufacturing
Dquor and selling il, although the
amendment does bar individuals
fran such activities
As a result of Hardgrove's state
nent, two Wisconsin legislators were
al E7eTk today preparing a joint
resolurzon TO be placed before the
state assembly providing for entrance
Of Wisconsin into the liquor business.
Does Not Prohibit States
Hardgrove's opinion stated that
the loophole in the amendment came
through its wording which did not
declare specifically that the states
could not engage in such activity.
He emphasized that his statement
was nothing more than his own per
sonal Interpretation Of the eight
eenth amendment, but he added
that the point he had raised GER
tainly is a debatable one"
The amendment does not in
terms prohibit the personal use or
consumption of intoxicating liquor"
his statement said. 1T does pro-
coed upon the assumption that the
use or consumption Of Intoxicating
LIQUOR is in itself harmful to the
great body Of citizens and thereby
indirectly harmful to the govern
ment itself.
States Free to Sell Rum
ct is therefore suggested that
each state government is free to
adopt some method of manufactur-
ing or importing and dispensing
liCuor to its citizens, Northumberland
ing the eighteenth amendment"
Immediately after reading the
statement. State Senator Ben Get
tleman announced that he and AS
sembIyman John Grobschmidt
would introduce a joint resolution
in the legislature providing for state
entrance in the liquor business.

Historic Cruelties of Great Rulers
The Black White and Rcd Tents Which Emperor Wenceslas
of Germany Carried Out His Alurderous Designs

BY J. p. GLASS.

How could they know that inside the
black tent Wenceslas waited for them
as huge spider waits for the hapless
victims of its web?
One at a time they were admitted
to the black tent, leaving their asso-
ciates to chat outside.
Inside WenceslaS met each newcomer
haughtily Two questions he asked:
What lands hold you as gifts from
the CROWN"
DO you agree to cede them back to
the crown?"
Lucky were those whose premonitions
caused them to give up the lands with
out a murmur. Attendants led them
into the white tent, where a sumptuous
feast had been spread for them. But
if they protested-that was different.
Angrily they were thrust into the red
tent.
The first objects that met their view
we're a headsman'S block and ak. No
chance was given them to change their
minds. In a trice their heads were
rolling on the ground.
In one tent men Toasted, albeit with
Ill grace. while in the other men died.
After a time the mobiles waiting outside
the black tent heard whispers Of what
was going on inside.
From that time on the procession to
the white tent was uninterrupted.

Another Senator was on his 1eeC WIN
the suggestion that he thought the only
sensible thing to do was to tear down
the goddess and replace it with the
statue of the elder Rothschild.
But Stewart said he was opposed 10
any such move.
If any change is to be made" he
said. "I would go further back. L
would put calf there to represent the
original arrangement"
BY this time the Senate was getting
worked up. Protests were heard that
the subject should not be made mat
ter Of jest.
as to whether there was any one VINO
really knew what the statue was sup
pose to represent.
There were several who thought they
knew, but were not certain.
One Senator then suggested that since
it was a bronze statue why not rebronze
it. Wasn't that the simplest way out?
Thirty voted yes. Twenty-Five voted
no. And 81 were in such a puzzled
state of mind that they refused to vote.
The resolution was passed and the
SIS, 900 made available.
But the money never was used. In
stead, a colored janitor was given a
bucket of water and some soap and told
to go aloft and give the goddess bath.

Willamow, Wenceslas, Emperor OF Ger
many and King OF Bohemia, caused
three tents to be set up.
One was black and funereal On one
side it opened into white tent, on the
other into a red one.
Surveying this arrangement, Wen
ceslas rubbed his hands with Satisfac-
ton, ordered that all the Bohemian
mobiles should be summoned to come to
him, and went back to his cups to
while away the time that must elapse
before their arrival.
He wanted TO regain from the mobiles
lands with which they had been in

But outside the three tents they felt
easier. for the servants of Wenceslas
could be seen carrying great quantities
of food into the white one, as though

Straight Talks to Women About Money

a child or two. Their working capital is
what they are free to spend from their
income. Their profit is their savings.
The fact the husband is the bread
winner, literally does not mean he alone
has an earning capacity. Not infre-
quently an intelligent wife is more adept
at earning money than her husband.
Less infrequently she would be only too
glad to demonstrate her ability along
that line.
The above applies to the wives and
mothers who compose a comfortable
majority We are not unaware of the
wives and mothers who spend all the in
come they can lay their hands on, and
are parasites in the true sense in that
they live off their husbands and con-
tribute nothing to their homes but bills
and eXtravagant living.
A faithful and loyal wife's job is no
sinecure, and few thinking husbands
will begrudge her her due. We cannot
but think that most of the misunder-
standing and friction is caused by
ignorance on the husbands part about
the wife's job. If he spent one week
day at home and observed her at work,
we suspect strongly he would never
question her right to her share of his
earnings. We believe too the day would
reveal to him partner worthy Of her
salt, and deserving of his best efforts

How a Wife Earns Her Living.

We pity the husband so oblivious to
what is going on about him he does not
even know his wife is earning her share
Of the family income. We sympathize
with his wife. Her job is difficult
enough, it becomes burdensome and I'M
bearable when her best efforts are I'M
appreciated.
Let's see, what is a stay at home
wife's work? She only runs the home,
brings children into the world. feeds
clothes, and works for them day and
night. She watches over their health
and education Besides all of which she
is intrusted with the spending Of most
Of the family's income.
In other words many a wife must
qualify as an expert nurse, cook, house
keeper, governess, teacher, shopper,
manager, and what else not
Yet some husbands actually believe
they give" wives their allowances. If
allowances in such cases are gratuities,
We wonder what a woman must do to
earn money in her home! We do not
have to wonder how many men would
care to devote as much time, energy,
and thought to the job for like pay.
A home must be established like a
business. There are two partners. Their
capital is their savings and their pos
sessions. Their income is usually the
