CASH BELONGS TO THE STATE
Considerable liquor License Money
Turned Over to Counties.

After looking up the provisions of the
law in regard to the passage of the liquor
license law amendment last winter, the
state treasurer sent nut a circular letter
TO the different county t.easurers, asking
that they remit portions of the
liquor license due the state on
collections made prior to July 1
of this year. \ number of responses
have hecn received. some of them con-
tanning the rcmittances. and others adj
uniting that the money is due to the
state under the law. hut that under tho
generally accepted understanding it had
been turned into the county general
fund, and that it would require action to
have it appropriated to the state, but
that the matter would receive attention
and the cash he forwarded. This will
mean several thousand dollars to the
state treasury. which has been held by
the counties since the first of the year.

organized labor on Sept. 9, whereas, o
few years ago, about o%ne-quarter of this
vast number We're found in the moving
spectacular column. Only nine States,
in the West and South, withhold official.
recognition of the occasion and these will
fall into line in time.
The closing of mills, stores, banks and.
offices releases the employer and profess
Sional man as we'll as the wage earner,i
with the result that the suspension of.
business is just as complete as on our,
greatest civic holiday, the Fourth of
July.
In the larger communities the turnouts
on Monday We're particularly impressive,
New York alone abstaining from the usu-
al parade, the day being given over to eX-4
cursions and picnics. In Philadelphia
100000 men We're on parade; st. Louis
had 10000; Chicago and Boston 25,OOO
each; San Francisco 10000; Milwaukee
$4,000; Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Kansas City, Columbus, Rochester, Dem
Yer and st. Paul 10000 each.
When first launched many believed La
Dor Day would gradually cease to attract
attention and that organized labor, in
strumental in its creation, would be the
first to tire of it. AS yet there is no sign
of slackenins interest ON the part of the
workingmen or any other class who profit
by the cessation from work. The man of
wealth and the man of profession are;
equally as anxious as the wage Garner for
the continuance of the custom.
The day is we'll selected. 1t ushers in
autumn. a season eagerly welcomed after
the sweltering heat of summer when ma

is beautiful. Even the elements have

No other country thar the United
States sets apart a day for it's toilers to
make public demonstration of their
strength and their prosperity; nowhere
else are the workingmen so we'll dressed
or so intelligent, nor do they carry
themselves with such manly bearing.
AS Labor Day is an occasion of pleas

it can be regarded otherwise thar u fix.
