apply TO persons who volunteered or
served in the Sioux Indian war of 1923.

The local option league of Ohio has
just made report which is interesting
as showing what the Dow liquor tax law
has done for temperance and taxpayers
in that state. 1t is shown that zoos sa-
looms have been closed by the saloon
tax provision; that 5l7 saloons have
been closed by town councils under the
authority of the popular vote; that 200
towns of the state have adopted local
option and suppressed the liquor traffic
TO a greater or less extent, and that
nearly 2,0OO, 600 of license revenue has
been collected. The law levies q tax
of 500 upon regular saloons and 500
upon those whore beer alone is sold,
and by local upton any community can
regulate, restrain or prohibit the traffic
as best suits the residents. The Dow
law was passed in spite of. the solid op-
position of the Democratic party. whose
representatives on the supreme bench
of the state declared the law uneonstitu-
tional in payment for services rendered
by the Liquor League on election day.
The Republicans, however, were over
whelmingly victorious, the decision of
the corrupt judges was reversed, and
the law stands to day for the benefit or
the people of the state. The Democrats
would like to oppose it, but dare not do
so openly.

IGNORANCE OR MALIoNITY?

The course of the Twin City press in
reporting the matter of the complaint of
the State Business Mems Association
against the Milwaukee, Omaha and
Northwestern roads, mention of which
was made by US Wednesday, has shown
either malicious intention to misrepre-
sent Mankato or developed the fact that
the reporters of those papers are all at
sea in discussing freight tariff affairs and
are not able to interpret plain English
sentences.
In the first place there is no such or
ganiZation as the "Mankato Business
Mems Association" as these sheets per-
sist in speaking of. There is the estate
Business Mems Association" consisting
Of members from all parts of Minnesota,
It. Paul and Minneapolis included. The
object OF this association is to look after
the interests Of the business men of the
entire state and to secure equal favors to
all from railway companies. Gen. Z.
VI. Pope, OF Mankato, is president of
this association, and that fact seems suf-
ticient to lead the st. Paul newspaper
men to think the organization IS Man
kato concern, whose particular object is
to worry the life out of the railway man.
ayers over the matter of freight tariffs.
To be sure some of the efforts of the
association have been directed TO secure
benefits for this city, but 1t would be
supposed that if the writer's on Twin
City papers were able to read the Eng
llsh language Understandings they
would be able to discern that the COM
plant made last week, which they have
been loudly proclaiming as "Mankato's
kick" was in reality "kick" in favor
of st. Paul and Minneapolis. The COM
plant alleges that the Milwaukee, Oma-
ha and Northwestern roads have been
making lower rates to points in South
ern Minnesota (Mankato being upon all
three than to places on the Hastings &
Dakota division of the Milwaukee and
other lines in Central Minnesota. The
only possible excuse for the statements
made and reiterated by ST. Paul sheets
that this complaint was in the interests
II Mankato is dense ignorance.
The object sought by the State Bust
ness Mems Association is to secure |
freight rates based upon the distance
hauled and if this principle can be es-
tabsished it will put an end to the dis
ordinations so long practiced. It will
benefit equally all portions of the state.
In that result Mankato would be bene.
fitted, bnt the cities of st. Paul and Min.
neapolis are the ones in whose interests
these last complaints we're made and
they alone would feel the immediate
benefits of the success OF the efforts.
We commend these facts to the 81.
Paul Seles, with the hope that lis fresh"
reporters will go to studying the freight
tariff question and not again display
their ignorance as in their column of
stuff published Monday headed MAN
