Two Harbors to Go DRY.

At the recent election at Two
Harbors council was elected who
pledged themselves To Increase the
liquor license from $500 To s., 200. and
this was done at the meeting Tuesday
evening.
The situation is new in this section
and has now assumed an interesting
chase. The liquor dealers object IL
the raise, and will all go out of bust.
ness.
Fourteen out of twenty-three sa
looms go out of business today, and
the balance will close as their license
expires. They will pay rent OH the
buildings, so that no outsiders can
come in, and they will also assist the
authorities in stopping any illegal
sale of liquors.
The brewery company will not sell
TO any other persons who may want
to start in the business. The inten-
tention is to show that the license
money is a necessity.
1t has been also reported that the
combine of saloon men would form a
STOCK company and take out license
Tor only three or four saloons, which
would reduce the revenue from that
source two-thirds. or $4,000. This
would mean large saving in help
and other expenses, while the same
amount of liquor would be sold. The
outcome is watched with much inter-
est.

Lake Freight Situation

The opening of navigation this
year 20 days earlier than the average
date, has had depressing effect for
the present on the lake freight stu
alton. 1t is said that there will be
no general movement of boats, how
ever, from the lower lakes for ten
days or two weeks. It is said that
the early opening has come as a sur
prise and there is a condition of
unreadiness at many of the docks,
and In some cases boats will not be
prepared to move for week or more
yet. Coupled with this is the senti-
ment among yesselmen that it will he

scented unQualihedly to that court, Il
would be held that the bill of rights
would be- extended to the Filiplnos and
that they were as a fact within the linz

In the Philippine Islands would be pro-
lected fully and beyond nny doubt He
said that 1t was 'new and strange
sovereignty" that enabled the Philip
pine commission TO enforce such laws
as had been put IN effect In the Philip
pines and he challenged the authority
OF the commission 20 enact such laws.
He recognized that all the judicial
powers of the Constitution were not
extended TO territorial government,
but he held that beyond doubt, IN his
mind, the Philippine commission had
no authority 10 define treason or TO
provide punishment Therefor. That, he
held was solely within the power and
authority Of Congress.
