The Lenten Season.

Observance Of this period is looked
forward to by many as a restful one.
and one in which that recognition only
due should be given to the powers that
be for much we enjoy. Others meet
the occasion with regret that any sweet
moments Of dissipation in the routine
of society life should be shadowed by
obligations of such nature.
Take the matter as suits you best,
and there is no reason why any trip
you feel like making should not be
taken over the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Railway, which by its main line,
branches and connections reaches all
points in Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota,
Missouri, to Chicago and points east
or south and west. Information can
be secured from any railway TICKET

The Democratic party is fairly strong

spring, and it now seems sure it will,
the Republican party will hold this

two warning factions. that is there are TWO
factions Of so called leaders, either one
Of which would welcome Republican
victory rather than its own defeat.
Between these two factions stands the
lahoring element which is the balance
of power ant for the support OF which
DO b factions bid. The lahoring men OF

Authorizing Prohibition,

Captain BOutelle of Maine has intro
duced in the lower House of Congress
bill designed to restore the sit
uatiOn in the matter of State
prohi bitiOn of the sale of intox.
icating beverages as it existed before
the recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the Original
package" case. The bill is proposed
as an addition to the Interstate com.
merce act, and reads as follows:
That nothing contained in this act
shall be construed to authorize the
sale or traffic in intoxicating lio-
uOrs in any state contrary to the laws
thereof.
The majority of the Supreme Court
expressly suggested that relief from
their decision could be obtained
through Congressional action. Their
whole point was that the state, acting
by itself, and without specific author
ity from Congress, had no power to
interfere with commercial transactions
crossing state boundaries, no matter
whether these transactions involved
Intoxicating liquors or anything else.
In speaking of the Illinois brewers.
who sent their beer into Iowa, and
sold it in the same form in which il
was put up, the court declared:
They had the right to import this
beer into that state, and they had the
right to sell it, by which act alone it
would become mingled in the COM
mon property within the state. UD to
that point of time we hold that. in the
absence Of Congressional permission 10
do so; the state bad no power to inter
tere by seizure, or any other action, in
prohibition of importation aud sale by
the foreign or nonresident importer.
To cOncede 70 a state the
power to exclude, directly or indirectly.
articles 80 situated articles which
Congress recognizes as subjects of
interstate cOmmercel. without Con-
gressional permission, is to cOncede to
q majority Of the people Ofa state, rep
resented IN the state Legislature, the
power to regulate commercial inter-
course between the states, by deter
mining what shall be its subjects. when
that power was distinctly granted to
be exercised by the people Of the
United States represented in Congress.
The object Of Captain BOutelle's bill
is to grant this Congressional permis-
sionH 10 the several siates,a and thereby
to provide them with that power over
the liquor traffic which they have
hitherto exercised, but which, as was
shown by the recent decision, was
without due authority from Congress,
that body possessing hy virtue Of the
Constitution exclusive jurisdiction over
eeommeFee among the several states. p

INITIATING 273 CANDIDATES At
ONE TIME.

Never before, probably, in the his

witnessed that would compare with
that which took place at Beecber's

the regular weekly meeting of Detroit

l'2OO members Of that lodge were pres
ent to witness the initiation of 273 new
members at one time.
This is the largest number of candi.

record, and the occasion is one in
which every member of the lodge
feels a considerable degree of pride.

This remarkable night work is the
result of but two months active cam.
paign, resulting in the securing of 34O
applications, 800 of whom were elected
This work is all the more remarkable
when It is considered that there are Il
other lodges Of the same Order in De.
trolt, with a combined membership of
nearly 5000, and also the TACT thar De.
troit Lodge has been initiating from >
70 candidates at each meeting since
the first the year. Another notable
point in connection with this initiation
Is that every candidate initiated last
night is under the age Of As, while the
age limit of the Order is placed at
% years. The limit was agreed upon
before the canvass was begun. Record
