AN ANrI-TREArrNG LAW,

The temperance movement takes differ
After twenty years of experimenting
with absolute prohibition Kansas has
concluded that prohibition by law is
failure and the temperance sentiment
having become soured, the lawless
methods of Carrie Nationism are the re-
suit. In New Jersey the movement has
taken the direction of an ti-treating
law. In Russia, country cursed beyond
expression with drunkenness, the gov
eminent has assumed control of all in
toxicants, none being sold except by gov
eminent agents and for cash.
Absolute prohibition of the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors
is a dream that never can be realized.
The drinking habit may be reduced to
minimum by the influences of society,
just as crime is reduced to minimum in
some localities. The best way then is to
place restrictions about the sale of in
toxicants, which will minimize the de-
grading influence. The army canteen
was an institution that made for tenn
perance, but the fanatic prohibition
workers refused to recognize the fact.
An anti-treating law would go far to
reduce the quantity drunk. 1t is the re-
turn courtesy of the good fellow that
adds glass too much. Few men care to
drink alone and still fewer would ever
get drunk by themselves. Young men
who make a practice of drinking to ex-
cess go, like wolves, in packs-one will
not go on spree alone.
The government of Russia recognizing
that the peasantry We're being ruined by
the national drink, vodka. conceived the
IDEA OF cutting off the two most potent
factors making for the drink habit, the
open saloon where intoxicants are sold
over the bar and drunk on the premises
and the credit extended to customers
Accordingly, as above stated, the state
is taking charge of the manufacture and
sale of intoxicants, no credit being ex-
tended and all liquors being sold in
sealed bottles.
With government control of all intoxi-
cants, with the open saloon abolished and
an anti-treating law, condition as near
to prohibition as will ever be possible,
will be reached
Common sense education will in time
reduce the habitual drunkard to the class
of the habitual criminal, but it will take
generations to educate the habit out of
men. To properly educate man, says
Holmes, you must begin with his great
grandfather. 1t might be well to begin
now with the future great grandfathers--

AS such he commands attention Presi-

power in the affairs Of state, the people
would be accustomed to the idea of sur
rendering their power to a permanent

President Hadley have the courage to
raise their voice in warning, is the best
assurance that the worst will never come
to pass. But at the same time such men
would not speak thus if those dangers did
not actually threaten us.

Everything In readiness Tor the
Minnesota-W Wisconsin Game.
DR.. H. L. Williams, coach of the Uni
versity football team returned from
Madison yesterday, where he had been
in attendance at the Wisconsin-Ames
game on Saturday. He said that all
arrangements had been made for the
seating of the Minnesota delegation, and
the seats reserved for them are as fol-
lows: One-half the grand stand imme-
diately in the center of the field, and the
bleachers in front of the half of the
grand stand, both of these reservations
having a total seating capacity Of about
1900; then diagonally across from the
reservation in the grand stand on the
bleachers will be reserved about LOCO
more seats for Minnesota. This makes
a grand total of seats reserved for Min
nesota of 2,200.
Tickets for these seats will arrive in
Minneapolis on Tuesday, and will be on
sale at the usual places, in both st. Paul
and Minneapolis, as has been the tickets
for all previous games held here.
The field has been completely surround
ed on all sides by bleacherS, and there
will be no standing room obtainable. The
total seating capacity will be 1880, and
from the present outlook overy seat will
be taken. No athletic event that ever
happened in the West has created as
much interest as this game between
Minnesota and Wisconsin. At Madison
they can talk of nothing else, and it is
understood that they will run special
trains from Chicago, Milwaukee, and
various other towns in Wisconsin.
The betting on the game SO far has
been even money, but the people who
have money to bet in Minnesota cannot
find any takers, and large amounts have
been sent down to the Wisconsin capital,
where no doubt, it viii be eagerly taken
by the supporters of the cardinal.
From present indications it looks as
though Minnesota would be backed off
the boards, as it is understood large sums
of money have been sent up from Chicago
and other towns with which to back the
Gophers. In the past, however, sup
porters of the Badgers have always been
willing to back their team as long as
there was any money in sight, and a
more cheerful lot of losers cannot be
found in any city.
The price of seats will be as follows
The entire grand stand and bleachers
opposite, 81 each; the corners of the field,

the goal posts, 81.

In the ten mile race for professionals
there was considerable jeckeying. King

Kramer, seeing he had no chance, quit
early.
Kings handicap placed him within six
ty yards of the scratch men and by
sprinting he managed to catch up with
them. This advantage he managed to
hold to the end and he won by nearly
