Tho Minstrel Show.

Tho Minstrel Show. "
The Minstrel entertainment last
Friday night, under the auspices of
the Wadena Light Guards. was anoth-
er financial success for the Company.
The house was we'll filed and the en-
tertainment was pronounced nrst.class
by all. The entertainment was full
of humorous sayings and laughabIe
sketches, which wonld convince any
one that Wadena has some very good
minstrel talent. The sing: ng was ex.
cellent. and in fact the show was 4
grand successful parts being we'll rem.
dered and highly appreciated by the
audience. A great deal Of praise is due
to II. F. Presson wko took the most
active parts in the entertainments
Ills stump speech, in which he ap-
psared rs the ..Great and Horrible
Greedy, " was excellent. He is q
whole show himself. The good man
Of the affair is due to A. t.
Irwin, Esq. AHotler ertertainment
of some kind will probably BE given
By the Guards sometime in the near
future. and Judging by the last two,
it will no doubt be i success.

The Law and Order I,eae,,e

Tee Law and Order League effect. an
organization Saturday,or rather partial or
ganization, for nobody has yet been agreed
upon for president of it. Such orgauiza-
tons as this have done good service in 9TH
er cities, by special effort to enforce the ex-
isting laws regarding liquor selling, gam
bling and other social evils. This one
seems to have laid out for itself the special
work of securing an enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law. We wish it all success; but
we must say the state of feeling among bus
mess men 10 the community revealed in the
discussion on Saturday is not very promis
ing. The law cannot be enforced by citi-
zens who object to taking the responsible
lily and the odium. Que mao like Neal
Dow, or like Mr. Faxon of Quincy, Massa-
chusetts, who cares enough about the en-
forcement of the law, and cares SO little
about the good opinion of those who hate
it, that he is willing and active in ferreting
out violations, collecting proofs, and MAX
ing complaints IN the proper quarter, is
worth a thousand men who are willing to
give ten dollars toward the expenses of en-
forcing it provided their names are not
made public.
II is fashionable to vote for rohbition !;
but the trouble is that large part of the
Coma unity think they have done their
whole duty when they have got law on
the statute book, although some think it
will be a greater triumph to get prohibition
into the constitution. But neither laws nor
constitutions enforce themselves, and laws
and penalties may be multiplied indefinitely
without suppressing liquor selling unless
| the public opinion of the community, not
simply its clergymen and few besides, but
it's earnest, controlling citizens, resolve to
suppress it. And in any place where they
| are resolved they do not need any better
law than one that gives them leave to de.
termne by majority vote whether liquor
| shall or shall not be sold in that community.
If the Law and Order League can rally
such public sentiment it will succeed; but
it looks as if it would be necessary to first
create the sentiment in Portland, or, at all
events, to witty it with an infusion of reso-
luton and courage. Somebody said at the
meeting on Saturday that many persons whe
professed sympathy with the movement
were convinced that an organization for the
enforcement OF the law would fail. There
is only one reason why IL should fail, and
that is because the men who are willing to
organize are too few or too irresolute. Lii.
quor selling can he practically suppressed in
| Portland when sufficient number of its cit.
izens are willing to openly stand by the off.
Gers and by each other in enforcing the law.
And all the laws and constitutional amend.
ments that can be devised, by whatever ma
jorities adopted, will not suppress the traffic
until sufficient number of earnest men are
willing to breast the odium of enforcing
| them.

for the government Of tha CItx Conneil !,

for the government Of the City Council are
decided upon, important amendments hay.
lug been adopted. This despatch is unpre.
cedented and it is an evidence of HARMONY
and efficiency which promises well for the
work of the rest of the year. The new rule
requiring the chairman of the COMMITTEES
on Accounts to procure from the Auditor
and distribute to each member of the CITY
Council full monthly statement of the con-
dition OF the city finances is a wise and
prudent measure. The immediate effect of
1t will be in the direction of economy, and
1t Will also be beneficial by often calling
public attention to the condition of munich
pal affairs. The PRESS suggested this
measure several months ago, aid it at once
commended itself to practical men. 1t had
no chance, however, under the late admins
tration of city affairs.

The Brewers and Matters Association of
New York processes TO feel great anxiety
lest the passage of the Roosevelt high
license bill will prove disastrous to the cause
of temperance. This argument is the ia
miliar one that any form of prohibition
while 1t may cut down the number of beer
saloons tends to increase the number of gin
mills, In other words tends to drive the
topers from the comparatively harmless
beer to the more destructive gin and whis-
key. They feel such an intense interest In
the matter that they threaten TO use their
entire influence, which they claim is consid-
cradle, to defeat the reelection of any mem
Der Of the Legislature who votes for the
Roosevelt bill. If they can have their way
the next Legislature will be composed of
men who believe that the best way to make
people temperate is to star beer saloon on
every street corner.

Good for Bangorl After two trials the
city gets Republican Mayor by about 200
majority. The Republican vote al the SEC
ond trial was increased about 300, the Dem
ocratic vote 12s, while the Prohibition vote
fell from 100 to A. The elimination of the
time question which brought to the kepubl-
can ticket some votes that at the fist trial
had been given to Mayor Cummings, the adj
vice of the temperance organ to the Prohibi-
tieDists to vote for Judge Humphrey, and the
fair weather, account for the increase in the
Republican vote and tor the election of
Judge Humphrey. Bangor, in an election
when party issues are strictly defined and a
full vote is thrown, is certain to give Re
publican majority.
