A Liquor
House..

A year ago friend
told the editor of the
Liquor TRIBUNE that the law

Of liquor at wholesale
in towns where the
people had voted no-license was of no
pract cal value, and cited instances
where brewing companies had estab-
llshed branch houses aud succeeded
in so disgusting the people as to Sc
cure reversal Of the popular ver-
dict. We were: a little skeptical be-
cause we of Kandiyohi county have
been taught to believe that this law
was the best and most practical of
legislation. Now, 10 and behold, here
our contemporary, which is always
next" in anything of this kind, an
noances with faring headlines that
the 'Drouth will be Broken.n aud
states that the Hamm Brewing Co.
will open branch house here It
adds:
'1t may be interesting also to know
that they will be permitted to retail
their goods to the trade in Willmar
under the license which will control
their operation here. It can be ham
died in cases or in kegs in amounts
over five gallons and the company
will still not be liable for a violation
of the liquor laws.'
It now behooves those people who
have made such pretensions ( and who
have denounced others for insincerity
in temperance work to prevent this
subversiou of the popular will. On
them rests the entire responsibility
and they will not be permitted to for
get it. They have the governor, the
legislature, and all minor positions
and CAN DO WHAT THEY WISH TO DO.

Narrowly Escaped Drowning.

Allyn Birch was the hero recently
in an accident which nearly resulted
in the drowning of playmate. The
little Neste boy had ventured too far
out on the ice west of the Birch resi-
dence, where the ice cutters had been
at work He stepped into large hole
which was covered over with very
thin sheeting of ice, and his cries for
help attracted the attention of Allyn,
who was some distance away. The
boy reached the place none too soon,
for young Neste had received a thor
ough drenching and was unable to ex-
tricate himself from his perilous posi-
tion. Young Allyn mustered up
enough strength to pull the boy out,
who had managed to get slim hold
on the ice. The experience was a cold
and wet one far the youngsters, but it
was fortunate that it did not result
more disastrously. They were glad to
reach their homes and report them
selves as in a safe condition.
Too much care cannot be exercised
by ice cutters in marking off the
danger Gus places on the lake. There
should be something put up that would
be SO plainly visible that even child
would heed it.

pie of the county and
village, even with some, we venture to
say, who in the excitement of the cam
pa1gn were so carried away by party
feeling as to vote against him. Mr..
Frye was not an office-seeker, nor did
he make any pretensions of being a
skilled practitioner. He had studied
law and been admitted to practice, but
had abandoned legal work for the life
OF the farm. But when his brother
farmers called earnestly for him to
make the race against the representa-
tive of the lawyers clique at Willmar
he reluctantly yielded. He was elected
by close vote and he applied him.
self to his new duties with care and
diligence. With his associate, Mr..
Olney, he succeeded in making an un-
excelled record of successful prosecu-
tions against class of criminals who
had always been immune under the
old regime. Not only did they effect
lively prosecute those against whom
proper complaint was made, but with
good Judgment we're the ex penses to
the county held down to a figure not
materially above that of the periods
of his predecessor, of do-nothing pol
icy. We repeat that it is matter of
regret that honesty, prudence and
hard work for the public veal should
have been so thoughtlessly thrown
aside by the people of the county, and
all check upon the desires and needs
of the county gang thus be removed.
Unthinking ones will attempt to ex-
cuse this action by reference to party
lines, but such talk, while potent in
an excited campaign, is silly never
theless. Less than any of his friends,
does Mr.. Frye regret his defeat. He
is content to devote his entire atten-
tion to the management of his dairy
farm. There are too few such men in
the public service.
