Tbe Si und Sleep of Good Health
The restorative power of sound sleep
can not be over estimated and any a '.-
ment that prevents it is a menace to
health. J. 7,. Southers, Eau Claire,
Wis., says:—’‘For a long time I have
been unable to sleep soundly nights,
because of pains across my back and
soreness of my kidneys. My appetite
was very poor and my general condition
was much run down. I have been tak
ing Foley’3 Kidney Pills but a short
time and now sleep as sound as a rock.
I eat and enjoy my meals, and my gen
eral condition is greatly improved. I
can honestly recommend Foley’s Kid
ney Pills as I know they have cured me. ”

WISCONSIN ISSUES
ARE DISCUSSED
County Option Is Rule of the
Majority.
EVERY CGUNTY AS A UNIT
Principal Questions Involved Are
Those of Taxation and the
Most Efficient Enforce
ment of Law.
Many Important questions will be
discussed during the present campaign
in Wisconsin.
There are a number of candidates
for the nomination for governor on the
Republican ticket, and each of these
candidates has issued a platform, or
will issue one.
Each platform has. or will, contain
planks all of which will attract atten
tion from voters.
Each week we will present a special
article by J. Emory Steele, a thorough
student of government and politics,
discussing many of the leading ques
tions before voters.
The most important question before
voters of Wisconsin at the present
time is county option. Therefore, Mr.
Steele will take up county option first,
and he will deal with this question
fairly and without prejudice, defining
its several phases, rather than advising
any citizen concerning his stand on
this question.
The first of Mr. Steeles articles Is
presented in this issue.

BY J. EMORY STEELE.
What is county option?
Thousands of people in Wisconsin,
of course, know what is meant by
county option, but theie are thousands
In this state who haven't a clear Idea
of it.
County option is nothing more or
less than the right of the majority In
any county to say whether the sale or
liquor shall be pel mated w shall mk
be permitted.
In Other words, it is the rule of the
majority applied to the- liquor ques
tion, with the eouuty as a unit
In order to have county option It Is
necessary that the legislature of the
state place a county option law on*
books of the state. Under this law
each county then will exercise the
right of saying whether there shall be
liquor traffic in the county.
It Is simply applying the great Amer
ican principle of majority rule to the
liquor traffic, just as the principle of
majority rule is applied to the bond Is
sue in the county.
But it must be remembered that the
liquor traffic has no Inherent right to
exist; that it exists only by peiuiission
of the people.
Therefore, the people have the right
to grant or refuse the right to exist to
the liquor traffic by ballot, for the fair
est way to decide Is by vote of all the
people of the county.
It has been asked of me:
"Why should a county be made the
unit? Why not let each village, town
ship and city decide for itself, as now,
In many states?"
The principal argument in favor ot
county option Is the one of taxation.
The expenses of county government
are paid by all the people of the coun
ty. The money to pay the cost of the
courts, district attorney's office, slier
lfT s office, coroner's office and the ex
penses of other coqnty officials comes
from all the tax payers of the county
Therefore, all tax payers of tho
county should have the right to vote
on any question that affects the tax
rate of the county.
Statistics prove that the liquor traf
flc creates expense and therefore at
fects the taxes of the county.
Statistics prove that a large per
centage of the work of the sheriff, dis
trict attorney, courts nnd the coroner
Is caused by the sale of drink; that the
Jails, insane asylums, poor houses and
farms and charitable Institutions are
peopled largely by persons placed
within them through the drink habit.
The liquor men claim that the tax
on the saloon pays the cost of care of
victims of the liquor traffic.
Any man or woman who has studied
taxation and the liquor traffic knows
the rax on the saloon does not begin
to meet the cost of Its efTect.
V'ho pays the cost of the saloon that
Is not paid by the tax on the saloon?
lilt tax payers of the county.
He question of law enforcement
nlsn Js important.
Y,‘ hen a county decides by ballot
tha it wishes anylhing shall be done,
or lit done, this decision is backed by
the aw enforcement machinery of the
county.
It a county should vote that it would
permit the saloon to exist within its
limits, all the law enforcement ma
rhinerv within the county—the district
attorney, the sheriff, the courts —would
stand behind that decision and see to
It that any person given the right to
sell liquor would enjoy that right.
If a county should decide not to per
mit the saloon to exist in the county,
the entire law enforcement machinery
of the county would be behind that de
cislon.
When a village, town or township,
or city decides to take a step not tak
en by the remainder of the county, the
law enforcement machinery of the en
tire county feels a little backward
about asserting itself.
