About the Courthouse.
EDITOR COURIER.

EDITOR COURIER.
Dear Sir: I notice piece
in the Courier for January 18th in re-
gard to letting the courthouse for ten
dollars per night, where you are trying
to make your readers believe that ten
dollars per night is good pay for the
use of the courthouse. These ten dol.
lars are not net profit however. If
there were no expenses connected with
it it would be but small rent for such
an expensive building, but the case is
that the expenses are so large that l
have reason to believe they consume
the greatest part of the ten dollars.
Mr.. Lockton says it takes quarter of
a ton of coal every day to keep the Of
fees warm that are kept warm from
day to day. Now we all know that the
courtroom isn't warm as soon as the
steam is turned on, so there is reason to
believe that it takes nearer = half ton
of coal to heat it up and keep it warm
all night. Besides it takes lots of oil
and the furniture is damaged more or
less, even the desks are taken out OF the
offices and used for tables. It is also a
fact that dancing will shake building
worse than anything else it can be used
for. This is viewing it from business
standpoint. Aud furthermore, I am
positively sure that there is large
nunbsr ef psople In this county that
are opposed 70 letting the courthouse
fog dancing q any price. Wishing -

Messrs. Cooper and Swenson are
both classed with the "doubtfuls'
on the resubmission question. This
is the first time that Steele county
has been represented by uncertain
quantities on any legislation of i'm
portance. Heretofore the sixteenth
district has been represented by men
with brains enough to have an opin-
ion and courage enough to express it.

We presume ere this that Bro.
Hunt has found out how our repre-
sentatives stand. Messrs. Cooper
and Swenson are not in the habit Of
running around the country tanning
the air with their arms and shooting
off their mouth like the explosion of
a gasoline engine, telling people what
they are going to do Qike some men
we could mention who have repre-
sented the district in the pasD and
then when an important measure is
being voted on are recorded as alb
sent and not voting. Messrs. Cooper
and Swenson not only have the brains
but the courage to vote their convic-
tions. Both gentlemen are doing
good work in the house and Senator
Enger is doing likewise in the senate.

Resuhniss'on Again.

Representative Simpson. Immediately
after the defeat of the resubmissionists
last Saturday. introduced a new bill in
the house. The bill was sent to COM
mittee and the fight came up again on
Tuesday on a motion to adopt the un-
favorable report of the committee. The
vote on the substitute for the special
order for Saturday was tie. The vote
for the adoption of the report was 81 to
Is. Resubmission is killed so far as
this legislature is concerned.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
And Other Matters of Interest
to the Readers of the
Courier.
OUR POSITION.

The Courier has been flooded the past
few days with communications pro.
and con. in regard to the late "blind
pig difficulty and we have deemed it
best to shut down entirely on all par.
ties as there seems to be no end to this
argument which is getting too personal
to all concerned. Another thing we
wish to mention in connection with this
matter is, that the editor of this paper
is getting tired of receiving "bluffs. :"
Within the past ten days we have been
informed by two or three different par
ties who have been caught violating
the prohibition law, that if we persist
ed in upholding the temperance move
ment and the enforcement of the law,
that we We're in danger of losing every
friend we had in town besides losing
considerable patronage. Now if any
of these gentlemen think that threats Of
this kind are calculated to strike terror
to the heart of the editor of this rag
freedom. they have made grave mis-.
take. We opropose to uphold the en-
forcement of the prohibition law or any
other law, and are heartily in favor of
prohibition, and we propose to express
our sentiments in this paper without
fear or favor, or without hope of re-
ward whether we lose friends or pa.
tronage, or vice versa, and no bluff
from any of these fellows who have
been caught is going to put a muzzle
on us for /. minute. If those fellows
who are making threats don't like to
live in Cooperstown and live under
the existing laws of this state, they are
at liberty to move some place else and
no tears VII he shed. The town exist
ed some years before the present editor
Of this p<rpsf came to Cooperstown,
and it will continue to thrive just as
we'll after we leave, and the same can
be said Of some of those fellows who
are doing the "blufing." We hope Q
have made our position clear. We
want all the patronage we can get, at
the same time we are not going to sacri-
fee our principles to cater to any ele-
ment in order to get it. A newspaper
has got to stand on either one side or
the other, and we have taken the side
which we deem is right and we are 60.
ing to advocate it whenever the oppor.
tunity warrants.

RESUBMISSI0NI
The Resubmission Resolution
Came Up in the House Last
Saturday.
Representative Cooper Moves
To Indefinitely Postpone
the Resolution.
Which Motion Prevails Bv a
Vote Of 81 to "a. Wild Ex-
citement Prevails.

The regular order had proceeded un-
til the order of messages of the SENATE
was reached without incident. On the
first reading of senate bills when the
title to senate bill No. 5. Senator Hag-
CARTS resubmission resolution was
reached
Mr.. Cooper moved that the bill
be indefinitely postponed.
MIR. SIMPSON moved as substitute
that the bill be referred to the temper.
ance committee. He regarded the at
tempt TO summarily suppress the bill as
al insult to the senate and unfair TO
absent members.
MR.. HODGMAN moved to table tie
substitute, and the motion prevailed on
a division of the house 26 to %.
MIR. WINEMAN plead for fair play
and fair show. He said quite a num-
Ter who are in favor of the measure
Were absent, and it was unfair to them
to spring this question now. 1t is not
just to deprive the people of being heafd
on this subject when their representa-
tives are not present. 1t is not only
unjust but unrighteous to thus take ad-
vantage when their representatives had
no idea that the question was coming
up. He asked that the people through
their representatives be heard. Like
Banquo's ghost the question will not
down. 1t will come back again ten
fold stronger than before at the next
legislature, and those who vote for in
definitely postponing this question will
be sorry for the unjust advantage they
have taken.
MR.. COOPER was willing to take
the consequences two years from now
for the action taken today.
MIR. SIMPSON said thousands who
were not residents of this state, when
this question was before the people,
want to be heard on it. The motion
was uudignified and unlike Mr.. Cooper.
The members ought to have IN oppor-
tunity to consult each other and with
those who are not here. The question
will bear great deal of discussion. For
one he wanted the opportunity to state
his reasons why the bill should pass.
MR.. SVENSRUD thought the oppo-
nents of the bill were taking a wrong
course and if this was persisted in he
would vote for resubmission. though he
was not certain that he would it the
bill was allowed to take its regular
course.
MR.. COOPER said there was but one
or two of the friends of the bill absent
and an equal number of those opposed.
MR.. SIMPSON raised the point that
the point to table the substitute carried
the bill with it but the chair ruled
against him.
A motion to adjourn was defeated %
to So.
MR.. HODGSON demanded the pre-.
vious question.
The motion to indefinitely postpone
was carried by the following vote:

OISOn In regard 10 renting the COZ urt-
room. The gentleman, being stictly
against dancing himself, wants to
play "dog in the manger" to keep
out those who do dance. We are of
the opinion that the county makes
money by renting the hall at ten
dollars per night. Admitting Mr..
Olson's statement is true that it takes
a quarter of ton of coal extra to
heat the hall, the cost of that amount
OF coal, adding draying, would be
S2.25, add to that two gallons Of
oil would bring it to S2.5o, which is
the total expense to the county, as
the janitor gets nothing extra for his
work, and the county is therefore
ahead $3.50 night which in our
opinion is enough. The taxpayers
have got to pay for this expensive
building, as Mr.. Olson terms it, and
then they have to pay big price to
have the use Of the hall for an even
iny's amusement. The courthouse
hall is used probably three or four
times in the course of year for
dancing, chiefly by the A. O. U. w.,
Odd Fellows, and other secret So
cieties, and they have paid their ten
dollars for the hall and then turned
around and donated the surplus to
some charitable institution. The
Workman lodge alone has paid out
over 5000 for benevolent purp
in the past year and half, the Odd
Fellows paid out sick benefits and
paid out money for the support of
the orphans, and other lodges have
paid out money for other charitable
purposes. Who is doing the most
good in the county, the lodges, whose
membership represents the heaviest
taxpayers in the county, and whose
funds are used to aid suffering hu-
manity, or those people who never
contribute cent for charity but ST
back and sanctimoniously kick on the
wickedness of the dance? The COM
missioners simply want an expression
from the people on this subject, and
taking into consideration that Coop
erstown has no public hall in which
to hold any kind of an entertainment
we hope the voters will vote for ten
dollars per night. The churches are
allowed to use the hall free but the
taxpayers have to stand the expense,
and no kick is made. On the other
hand other parties are compelled to
pay rent, and the people who are do
ing the most kicking are kicking on
dancing not because it damages the
building. In regard to Mr.. Olson's
statement that the furniture is dam
aged more or less, we can't see that
the furniture is damaged any worse
at a ball than it is at church social.
If Cooperstown possessed town hall
we would favor closing the court
house hall entirely, but as the town
possesses no such hall we think it
proper to rent the courthouse hall at
a proper com pensation.
