"The Color of a Boys Eyes"

The records of our criminal court
last week show that the law which
forbids the selling of liquor to minors
has again been violated. "A boy was
up for drunkenness and fined with
costs.
Have we no law or authority in
this city strong enough to stop this
traffic in the ruin Of boys! Who did
iti Was he arrested! Must the law
be violated with impunity by men and
only the boys be arrested. Where are
our police. Where the commendable
zeal of our Mayor and Aldermen
sworn, and repledged together to en-
force the laws of our city! They
started in well, are they tired of we'll
doingt Are any of the unlicensed =
permitted to sell as before timel How
many saloons in Red Wing and vicini-
ty were known to the police and city
fathers to be open and selling last

This license system is an outrage
on all law and decency at its best
We license men for the consideration
of 800, more or less, to do that which
no man has any right to do at any
price-injure men, women, boys and
gIrls. Look at i'll Yet bad as it is,
we cannot even make them keep the
contract under which the license was
granted, to destroy the men, but let
the boys alone.

for being drunk and disorderly, may
well be red and he look ashamed. But
men of Red Wing, how will you look
when your consciences will assert
themselves and you are IN full antici

those who '.knew their duty and did il
not!''

in this town are besirNninS To care Tor

An Evening with the Boys.
M Red WING Arms. March ID.

From Red Wing Argus, March I'd
The writer, being interested in
boys, stepped into the w. c. T. U.
rooms last Tuesday evening to find
out what was being done by and for
the members of the Boys Social and
Military Club" The rooms were
warm aud brilliantly lighted and
were occupied by about eighty bright,
happy boys.
Mr.. b. B. Herbert having called the
boys to order, the evenings enter
tainment commenced and proved to
be both amusing and instructive, and
was as follows:
Mr.. Finsterbach recited selections
from Holmes and I.ongfelloW, pre-
facing them with few pertinent re-
marks on the importance of being ia
miliar with the lives and writings of
our American authors. Miss Emily
Willard read an extract from Mark
Twain's "Tramp Abroad" and the
boys showed their appreciation of
her fine reading by applaudlng to the
echo.
Mr.. Finsterbach followed with a
song, which was listened to atten-
lively and encored heartily.
After the applause which had
greeted Mr.. Finsterbach subsidized,
the orderly sergeant of Mr.. Orser's
squad, called the roll and the boys
fell in line. The boys belonging to
Mr.. Armstrong; squad quietly went
into the smaller room, and seating
themselves around couple of tables
were soon engrossed in the mysteries
of the alphabet game or busted them
selves with TRAMP Abroad" and
s'Hans Christian Anderson's Tales.
Mr.. Orser drilled his squad for
about thirty minutes, after which
Mrs. l.. d. Campbell, Miss Ellie Haw-
kins and Messrs. Grow and Finster.
bach entertained the boys for about
fifteen minutes with jubilee songs.
Then Mr.. Armstrong; squad took the
floor and Mr.. Orser's squad adjourned
to the smaller room, where the older
ones took possession of the books and
games and the smaller ones gathered
around Mr.. Herbert and coaXed him
into telling them story.
At 8 o'clock the happy meeting
broke up, and the lads were dismissed
with the parting injunction ''go
straight home"
The club has been in existence toe
short a time to judge of its effects
yet. Judging from the good behavior
and prompt obedience of the members
last Tuesday evening, it is safe to in.
fer that great benefit must come of il
if it can be sustained. To verify
which l will quote a remark of lady
visitor, viz: Il have always been
afraid to pass the Opera Hall on even
ings when there were entertainments
there on account Of the crowd OF
noisy boys gathered around the doors
but passing there tonight was agreea
bly, surprised to find the Sidewalk
clear, and then recollected it was the
boys night.
/ In conclusion / would heartily com
mend the boy S Social and Militar!
Cluh'' tn all who have the interest OIL
our future men at heart.

IT has been the practice in many
counties in this State not to pay into
the State Treasury for the benefit of
the school fund, fines collected, as the
law requires. By reason of this fail
ure to comply with the law, the school
fund has been defrauded of the use
of hundreds of thousands of dollars,
which the supreme court has recently
decided must be paid. This decision
will compel some counties to raise
large sums of money to meet Delinquent
cies, unless the legislature gives them
relief. AS there is large sum OF
money now in the school fund that
cannot be readily loaned at the rate OF
interest fixed by law, it has been sug'
gested that each county be loaned the
amount that it is i'll arrears on ac'
count of fines collected and not paid
over.
