The IYickersham RepOrt

10 take SuOl at anything WQlCn
they consider should be of interest
to the public at large and should in
a measure try to clear up some of
the disputed points on prohibition
which the Wickersham report trys
to do. Can any one after reading
the report as submitted, have q clear
mind as to what the gentlemen COM
posing the commission wish the pub
lie to believe and do. The numerous
opinions submitted by the gentlemen
comprising the commission are as
varied as the cOlOrs of JOseph's coat.
II is amusing to read the comments
on the report from both vets and
drys. The vets say il is fine and
calls for only one thing, the repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment. The
drys say that it all that could be
asked for; and points plainly to the
better enforcement of the prOhibi-
ton law. Are either of the adVO-
Gates of the vets or drys right? 1t ,.
cannot suit both. In fact, does the
report suit anybody. We are afraid l
not. The bOotlegger will continue {

In our final comments OH the
Wickersham reports, we must agree 81
with that opinion expressed by Prof q
Thomas A. Edison, after reading the -,

Ground Hog Day
Monday, February end, was what al
is called Ground Hog Day" II is El
said of the wOOdchuck, that on Feb III
ruary 2, he emerges from his hole 10
and sees his shadow; he Immediate ill
ly returns to his hole and there to al
remain for six weeks longer, while all
all kinds Of bad weather will pre- WI
vail. MI
If this is true and the woodchuck CH
certainly saw his shadow, then it J''
behooves all to replenish their coal sol
bins and wood piles, and get ready MI
to face siv weeks of incIamant woo. Be

The Boxing Bill Again Be
We regret very much that Cover Ma
nor Buck considered it his duty to ma
sign the Boxing Bill. Mr
think the time will come when toV
the Governor will regret his sign
ing it. We doubt that any sport of str
the kind named in the Boxing Bill ent
can be kept within bounds, but will Iol
finally drift into the prize ring Mr
sport. where two tries to get the Be-
best of each other and in so doing, be-
each other faces beyond A
recognition. Great sport, but a bru- erl
tai sport as well. the
