The W. c. T. U. met with Mrs. Alex
McBain at her home Saturday and among
other things decided in having an open
temperance meeting some time IN Sep
tember. The ladies are at work prepar-
ing an elaborate program and other feat
ures of entertainment for the occasion.
Northfeld's city council has put up
the price of next years liquor licenses to
$1,000 each. This will be an interesting
experiment, for it remains to be seen
whether the high license will act as pro-
mbitory measure. 1t may lead to blind
pigs, and then Northfeld's aldermen and
citizen's association will have an oppor
tunity to set Northield up before the
state as D shining examI Ile. We venture
to say though, that the scheme will fall
flat Of his intent, and Mortified will be
minus the revenue so far derived out of
the liuuOr traffic. Prohibition does not
prohibit. and after the closing Of the
barroons Northfeld will perhaps see
more intoxication within its limits than
ever before.
According to the Redwood Gazette
work bas commenced at three places on
the new Gulf g. Manitoba railroad north
OF that city.
Poles have been unloaded and the
Southern Electric Go. will soon have a
telephone line in operation, to extend
from Sleepy Eye to Redwood Falls TAX
ing in Evan and Morgan. A local eX-
change will be put in if enough instru-
nents will be purchased. The number
required is 25 and it is doubtful If that
number can be secured Morgan Mes
senger.
Mayor Gray of Minneapolis has in
augurated popular scheme of raising
funds for the return of the thirteenth
minnesota without any expense to the
Boys. Badges bearing the inscription
II have, have you?" are being sold at
s piece, and they are selling like hot
cakes. It is more than likely that the
total amount will be raised in this way
in the Twin Cities and in those places,
where companies of the 18th Minnesota
were organized. According to reports
from the cities the general demand for
the dollar badge is greater than was an
ticipated.-It is but just that the boys
volunteering their services, where they
were needed, should be taken back to
their homes free of charge.
Prof. John L. Loughlin, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, speaking at meet
ing of the Anti-Imperialistic league of
that city, said:
If you please, let us try to get our
minds clear as to the real problem in
this Philippine war. This is not so easy
as it might seem, because some persons
evidently have something to gain by
confusing the public mind.
/. They tell us that "forcible annex.
ation'' would be "criminal aggresslon,'
but we go on subdulng the Filipinos by
force Of arms. . ..s
