License and No License

In the elections recently held many
towns of the state reversed their
policy. Where license had heretofore
prevailed, this year it has been voted
cut, as in the case of Worthington:
while in other instances license has
been voted in, as at Edgerton. In
the past it was a regular thing to
establish wholesale depots in towns
where saloon licenses were not grant
ed. Liquor could then be sold in pack
ages of five gallons or more Now
this is all done away with, for s. F.
10{, introduced by Mr.. Thorpe, pro-
vides that whenever the people of any
village or municipal township shall
have voted against the issuance of IL
cense for the sale of intoxicating
liquors therein, it shall thereafter be
unlawful for any person or corpora
ton to sell, barter or give away the
same therein at retail or wholesale in
any quantity whatever; provided that

An Honorea Pioneer.

Hon. P. ]. Kniss, of Rock county,
Miss Lillian Kniss and Mrs. J. It.
Fisher, are registered at the Mer-
chants. Mr.. Knfss was a member of
the house in 1881, and for years before
and afterward was a prominent man in
the political life of the southwestern
part of Minnesota. Though he today
oceupies a palatial residence in Luz
verne, the log cabin he erected as a
settler is still standing. AS farseeing,
assfearless and enterprising when he
plated the town site of Luverne he
set out thousands of trees that today
shade and beautify it's streets. In the
hour of trial he went to the front In
the Union army, and in every walk of
life he has proven a true citizen and
credit to his county and his state. In
regent years he has taken but little
active part in political affairs, except
on behalf of his friends. When the
history of Southwestern Minnesota
shall be written in years to come the

law is righteous one, and cannot we'll

guardian of her own rights, for at the
death of her husband, should it happen
she would have a third interest in
fee in all of the realty he died pos
sessed OF, while under the proposed law
the husband might dispose of all of his
property without the knowledge of
his wife, and no doubt he would be-
able to mortgage the homestead. and
if so disposed, leave her to shift for
herself. 1t would be great misfortune

HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

mere are some things that puz-
zle even an editor, who, of all men
in the world, is the man who knows
1T all. Way back in his inner con-
seriousness he knows he does not
know it all, but he keeps the secret
under lock and key, because it is his
business to know it all, and if the
managing editor or proprietor should
Tor moment suspect that his editor
did not know it all, he would fire him
lnstanter. But this is a DEPRESSION

case. After it's officers had exploit
ed it for all there was in 1t the fed
eral court appointed a set of receiv-
ers for it at the suit of one set of
the holders of it's much-watered
stocks, who were getting all the
water while the officers were i'm
billing all the spirits. This trust
was one of the trustieSt of the
trusts. 1t took every distiller and
refiner and dealer by the throat.
1t made him sell it's goods at the
price it fixed. 1t made dealers pay
seven cents a gallon more for sp1r-
it's than it's value, and then rebated
the extra charge if they furnished
proof that they had not sold the
product of any other diSti1lery. 1t

their distilleries, or burned them
down, or, as here in st. Paul, 1T
punched holes in the stills and tanks
out of which the profits leaked away.
And now we are told that there
is to be a reorganization of the trust,
and that Gen. McNulta, one of the
receivers, is negotiating with the :
reorganizers with view to the re-
habiliment of the trust, and that
meantime the business methods of
the trust are being pursued by the
receivers. The property of the trust
is in the hands of the court, and it's
officers are in possession. The anti
trust law is unrepealed. To lay
man, plain citizen, who fallacious-
ly, perhaps, thinks that laws. are
seriously made to be enforced, it
is a puzzle why the court does not
dissolve the trust, resolve it into its
constituent elements, restore the in
dividual distilleries to their original
owners, direct the district attorneys
to prosecute the organizers of the
trust and teach them and others
much-needed lesson in respect for
the laws of the United States. Why
this is not done, why trust methods
should be carried on under sanction
Of the court, why negotiations for a
reorganization of the trust, having
in view it's continuation, should be
participated in by the receivers, and
all this in the face of the anathema
Of congress, is a puzzle whose solu-

POOR DIR. ZIER.
The Retail Druggists Take IA Shot
at Him.

at HIM.
To the Honorable Members of the
Legislature of the State of Minnesota
Respected Sirs: At a meeting of the
st. Paul branch of the Interstate Re-
tail Druggists league, held on March
IA, the following preamble and resOlu-
lions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t has come to the knowl-
edge of this league that certain bills
have been introduced into the legis>
lature of Minnesota known as House
File No. GIG, and Senate File No. $50,
ostensibly for the benefit of the public,
by controlling the sale of proprietary
medicines; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
league such measures are unjust
wholly unnecessary and opposed to the
best interests of our state, as the peo-
pie are not suffering, but on the con-
trary, receive much benefit by their
use, and it would be a great hardship
to deprive them of the means of doc
tOring themselves, especially the poor
and those residing in the rural dis
tricts;
Resolved, That in our opinion the
practical working of such measures
would be to confiScate hundreds OF
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty belonging to an honorable and
useful class of our citizens and reduce
many of them to poverty, as under
such a law every item of proprietary
medicines would have to be analysed
at cost of $50 for each item. And as
these items are numbered by the huns
dredS with only few dollars worth
of each in the hands of any one retail
druggist, it would be impossible for
our druggists to bear this burden;
Resolved, That in our opinion the
manufacturers will not have this an
alysis made as they do not want it.
and the wholesale dealers cannot af-
ford to have it done for the small profit
they make on them
Resolved, That in our opinion the
alcohol clause in the bill is cunningly
devised for the purpose of giving those
who are opposed to proprietary medi-
cineS for business reasons a chance TO
ring the changes on alcohol. same as
ammonia, by working upon the pre-
JUDGES and ignorance of the public
and thus bring many valuable rem
edies into disrepute;
Resolved, That placing the control
OF the sale of proprietary medicines
in the hands of those who are opposed
to them on grounds of personal in
terest, as these bills would do, is un>
just and unwise in the extreme;
Resolved, That we earnestly request
the Ramsey county delegation in the
Legislature to vigorously oppose these
unjust bills and see to it that the same
are defeated;
Resolved, That these resolutions be
printed and that a copy of them be
handed, by a committee appointed
Tor that purpose, to each member or
the legislature from Ramsey county,
legislature as said committee may
deem proper.

The election of officers was the only
business transacted at the meeting OF
the game and fish commission yester-
day, at the capitol. The impression
had somehow got abroad that the plan
to elect Commissioner Fullerton, OF
Duluth, as executive officer might mis-
carry. What lent a semblance of prob
ability to the rumor was the connec-
ton Herewith of Lieut.. Gov. Days
name. He was said to be urging the
selection of Game Warden Bird, of
Fairmont. When the commission met,
however, no opposition developed to
Fulierton's appointment, and it was
made. President w. s. Undertake
was reelected; Capt. William Burt
was chosen as vice president; Fred
Won Baumbach as secretary, and Al
Ferris treasurer.

THE WAYS OF THE LOBBYIST.

With the increase of the inter
ference of the government with the
business of the people, the growth of
the mania for regulating every
thing, which is the marked feature
of the renaissance of imperialism
under the various thick or thin
guises of socialism, there has natur-
ally come into existence a class of
people who make the prosecution
of these various schemes, as well as
opposition to them, their profession.
This business just now being looked
on with disapprobation by the
public, who, with singular stolidity,
approve of the regulating, but disap-
prove Of the means, it's practition-
ers are termed lobbyists, but as the
process runs on to its ripening, the
obloquy will disappear, and these
good people will be properly termed
legislative attorneys.
Some of them are thus known
now, but they are limited to those
attorneys of the courts who find in
legislation a more lucrative practice
than the litigation affords, and one
that permits them to retain what of
dignity there is in the profession Of
the law without mourning the pres
ent obloquy that attaches to the
name Of lobbyist. They bring to
their new field of practice the ethics
of their own profession which per-
nlits lawyer to accept a retainer
without any consideration of the mer-

to prosecute or defend. So, as legis-
lators, they are exempt from the
disability that attends their lay col

MlNNiE'S MAD MOVE.
Exhibition of smallness.

Alexandria Post-News.
The most distinguished display OF
bunconnbe during the present session
of the legislature has been the several
efforts of Minneapolis to secure the
removal of the state capitol to that
city. 1t has been an exhibition of
smallness unworthy even of the Min
neapolis gang that has been its spons-
ors. That city has been trying to pun
ish st. Paul by taking the time of the
legislature at the states expense, for
a series of bluffs. st. Paul is the con-
stitutional capital of the state. Citi-
zens have for that reason made it
their home, have invested their money
there, and with confidence in the
states integrity, have made their bust
ness arrangements. That confidence
was not misplaced, and the only effect
of Minneapolis spitework is to injure
1t in the opinion of the rest of the
state. 1t is a matter of congratulation
that st. Paul has not retaliated by at
tempting to cut off the large appropri-
atoms asked for the state university.

Danished Samoan Chiefs Can Ex-

LONDON, March 2l-Sir Edward
Grey, replying to a question in the
house of commons today regarding
the treatment of Chief Mataafa, of
Samoa, according to a recently pub
lished letter of the late Robert Louis
Stevenson, said that when Mataafa
yielded he was given no assurance ex-
cept that his life would be spared.
The cases of Tamasese and Mataafa
were quite different. Tamasese yielded
peaceably on arranged terms, while
Mataafa yielded when in open rebellion.
According to the latest information
the government had received from Sa-
moa, Mataafa and his chiefs were well
treated. Their communication with the
outside world was strictly controlled
but arrangements have been made to
allow the banished chiefs to be Joined

Crookston Tribune.
Dr. Tier seems to have it in for the
patent medicine fellows. ana. al
though his first bill was defeated. he
mas introduced another one. The state
board OF health is empowered to order
the analysis of each and every patent
medicine, and to compel the mann

$oO IN each case. There are some 4O00

them would amount to 1920. 900 The
passage of this bill would simply be
a discrimination against the local
