THE WATERTOWN WEEKLY LEADER (Successor to the Watertown Republican) PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING BY W.L. SWIFT, PUBLISHER Terms of Subscription: $1.50 per Year, Strictly in Advance; Six Months, 75 cents, Three Months, 50 cents. Sample Copies Sent Free on Application. Entered as Second-Class Matter. May 4th. 1905, in the Postoffice at Watertown, Wisconsin, under the Act of Congress, Adopted March 3rd. 1879 Watertown, Wisconsin, Jefferson County, Friday, September 29, 1911 A Reply to “No Crank.” To the Editor of the Leader; I wish to take exceptiorf to some of the remarks of the correspondent, “No Crank,’’ in last week’s Leader. In the first place, his knowledge of the law is lamentably weak. He is under the im pression, whereever he got it, —certain- ly not in this city—that the Sovereign State of Wisconsin can make laws which have a binding force in Watertown. Doesn’t he know that said laws to be enforced must be in harmony with the views of the “interests” of the city of ficials? Furthermore, ’tis none of the State’s business how Watertown “is run.” In fact, ’tis nobody’s business, except—oh, well! “No Crank” should know this, unless he is a stranger am ong us. His remarks anent the city printing are indeed illogical. How could the of ficial printing be awarded to the low est bidder when there were no bidders? His reference to our City and County— or, is it County and City—Attorney is uncalled for. Mr. Kadingought to have him arrested for Criminal Libel. Low dare “No Crank” assert in public print that our affable city attorney is holding illegally a two-fold public office. Isn’t that Criminal Libel? Get after him, Charley! “No Crank” seems to forget that in case of a law suit between the city of Watertown and Dodge county, Mr. Kading could be at the same time attorney for the Plaintiff and attorney for the Defendant, and, of course, the City would win and the County wouldn’t lose. Surely an ideal situation! The city attorney is under no obliga tions to the people of Watertown, He was elected by the Aldermen. He is THEIR attorney. He knows this; and he knows, too, on which side his bread is buttered, and he is taking mighty good care that should the bread fall, the buttered side will be up. No doubt he has read the scriptural injunction of the great Galilean. (See Luke XVI, v. 9.) These remarks, will, I hope, serve to correct whatever false impressions were made in the minds of the readers by the communication of “No Crank.” W. K. H. P. S. I think I should not have used the iword injunction. Just now that word is getting on Charley’s nerves and keeping him awake nights. However, “what’s writ is writ.” W. K. H. Eleven O’clock Ordinance. Editor of the Leader: That there is going to be strenuous efforts made to defeat, or to nullify by amendment, Alderman Humphrey’s 11 o’clock ordinance goes without saying. The “liquor interests” are fighting hard and doing their utmost to infuence the City Fathers. They are still a pow erful factor because some of them are unscrupulous and united, while the good people who hope for a decent reg ulation of the saloon business are too timid to come forward and engage in a struggle so repugnant. The only possible argument against Alderman Humphrey’s ordinance is that the majority of the people of Water town do not want the saloons closed at 11 o’clock at night. This is false, abso lutely; and those who make use of this argument know it is false. All of the law-abiding, respectable people of the city want the ordinance passed, and if a vote were taken tomorrow, at least 80 per cent of the men of Watertown would mark a ballot for its passage. And if the women, who are the silent sufferers of the iniquitous all-night sa loon, had their say, unitedly they would ask to have the ordinance passed. And if little children whose fathers squander money needed at i ome, in the heartless saloons could voice their wishes, their baby lips would tell the aldermen; Please, pass Mr. Humph rey’s ordinance. If the City Fathers, then, have any regard for the convictions of the good, decent, law-abiding citizens, if they care for the mothers of Watertown, if they can be moved by the silent [appeal of the little children of Watertown, they will in spite of the demands of the “liq uor interests,” vote for Alderman Hum phrey’s ordinance. W. D. M. Moravian Mission Festival. The annual mission festival of the Moravian church, in spite of the uncer tainty of the weather Sunday, was large ly attended by Moravians from Lake Mills, Ebenezer and Mamre congrega tions, besides the local members and many friends. The Rev. Gerhard Fraub. the pastor, was assisted in the morning by the Rev. Edward Helwig of Ebenezer, and the Rev. William Krebs of London, and in the evening by the Rev, F. Kant of Mamre and the Rev. 0. E. Reidedbach of Lake Mills. The choir rendered two beautiful selections at both services. The closing service at 7:30 o’clock was in English and the Rev. Daniell of the Congregational church, who for seven years was active in missionary work in southern India, delivered the address, giving his audience a vivid picture of the trials and triumphs he experienced in that field. The offerings for missions amounted to almost $145. A Quaint Notice. A sign in one of the front windows of the store occupied by Thomas Brooks, attracted considerable notice Saturday. It was as follows: “Gasoline for Otomo biles for Sail Hear” in large letters upon cardboard. Mr. Brooks enjoyed to tlie limit the attention given the placard. People in passing would see it, and then snicker and pass on. School girls would direct attention to it and then poke each other in the ribs, laugh and pass on thinking no doubt that the schoolmaster was abroad when Mr. Brooks was a boy. It certainly answered the purpose in tended by Mr. Brooks—to call aDention that he bad “gasoline for sail.” GOVERNMENT LAND OPENING 3,000 HOMESTEADS OPEN TO SETTLEMENT 400,562 acres open to settlement in the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reserva tions, located in Bennett and Mellette counties, S.

The Girl in the Ice Cream Parlor. The writer of the following article must have meant a certain young lady in this city, who fills the description in every particular: Everyone in our town knows the girl in the ice cream parlor. She is pretty, that is undeniable, with light fluffy hair and pretty pink cheeks. Her brown eyes are her chief attraction, however, for they alwaysseem to glisten with delight. She is not one of the slender kind, but is rather fleshy; nevertheless, she is grace ful and lithe as she walks back and forth from the soda fountain to the can dy department. She is very neat in her dress and attracts considerable attention. Her pleasant manner on greeting people has won many friends for her.—Paducka (Texas) Sun. Crowd Went to Beaver Dam. Tne Watertown Military band accom panied by quite a large number of our citizens went to Beaver Dam Thursday, to attend the Dodge County annual fair, leaving here in the morning and return ing in the evening, going over the North Western road on a special train.

Hoard was here Wednesday superintending the shipment of several head of Holstein-Friesian cattle to New Zealand, he having received a draft some time since for the sum of $6,000. to pay for the cattle, of which mention was made at the time in the Leader. The cattle were bought from S. B. Jones & Son of Hustisford, breeders of that grade of cattle, which are in great de mand because of their excellent qualities and value on the farm and in the dairy.

Tom McDonough Near Death, A man by the name of Samuel Hack of Mineral Point while under the influence of liquor late Saturday afternoon, shot and seriously wounded Gilbert Bleccum, a cook in the Burlington hotel, La Crosse, where he was stopping, beat up a spectator and attempted to shoot Po liceman Tom McDonough, formerly of Watertown. In the evening. Hack con fessed that his act was influenced by a suspicion, that Bleccum was withholding $7. out of the $4O. which he gave him for safe keeping when he became a guest at the hotel. McDonough can attribute his escape from death or a serious wound to the fact that Hack’s revolver failed to go off although it was snapped three times in his face while attempting to arrest the infuriated drink crazed man.
