What is sauce for the goose is very
evidently not sauce for the gander in the
District of Columbia. For some time the
temperance people of the country have been
exercised over the amount of wet" goods
sold in the restaurants of the House and
Senate in the Capitol. The sale Of liquor
in the District of Columbia is regulated
by special laws passed by Congress, and
the temperance people insist that when
Congress permits the sale Of liquor under
the very Dome Of the National Capitol,
| it is breaking the laws which it has itself
passed for the government of the District.
The Court of Appeals, however. has de-
cided differently, and says that Congress
has right to govern itself, and that things
which directly concern Congress or any
of its members are under the sole jurisdic.

enacted for the municipality of. the Dis,

MOST POPULAR BOOK.
More Holy Bibles Sold Than any Other
Work Published.

There's one thing that surprises us
ALL said the bookstore clerk, land
that is the big sale of Bibles. None
OF us remember when there was such
a demand before. You may talk about
your multitudinous editions of popular
novels, but the Bible leads them. year
in and year out. 1t is probably issued
in more styles and shapes than any
other book in the world.
You'd be surprised at the different
kinds of people who buy Bibles. The
boy who is away from home is one typ
ical customer.
He is apt to say that his mother
gave him one, but that he has read it
through many times and the print is
Il little fine. 1t isn't improbable that
he'll buy another large, well-bound vol
ume to send home, just show the old
folks that he hasn't forgotten.
He may not be living up to the
! teachings of the Book, but when one is
/ shown to him he always softens and
rarely goes out of the store without it..
Young girls, whether working for
their living or the daughters of well-to-
do or wealthy parents, are frequent
buyers of Bibles, either for themselves
or for some friend, most often a girl
fliend.
! "Old women are perhaps the heaviest
buyers of all. 1t is the grandmother
or the aged aunt, you know in every
we'll, egulated family, who considers
it her duty to see that each child of
either sex has copy of the Book. -
/ 1T is the old women, too, who are
responsible for many of the Bibles to
be found in the jails and refOrmatOries.
Millions of Bibles are bought and sent
to PRISONS throughout the country
every year.
, Next to Christmas, Easter is the
triskeSt time of the year in the Bible
trade. and al, the church holidays have
an effect upon it. But at Christmas
people buy them in the most expensive
dress. 9'.E-.

In referring to the project to place a
license fee upon nonresident hunters
for big game, which is now being dis
cussed more or less. Mr.. Ring said:
There is large amount of game and

but in order to preserve the same pro-

people on the subject of taxing hunters
OF big game has changed very much
since the agitation of the matter be-
gun. The discussion is healthy one,
for it brings out every argument in
fax or of the idea as well as raises OBJ
jeotions against it's adoption. 1 am
much interested in reading the differ
ent views taken by leading sportsmen
ana must say that it seems as if the
predominatng sentiment is in favor of
the imposition of a tax on nonresident
hunters.
"Some sportsmen object to the scheme
because it's adoption really means the
prevention of taking firearms into the
woods during the close season. Many
fishermen going into the forests in
June for fishing purposes solely almost
invariably carry along rifle with
them. They claim they need it to pro-
.tect themselves from wild animals.
1t is unnecessary to do this: for there
isn't an animal in the Maine woods

get out of the way just as fast as they
can. Not one of them will turn on
man unless badly cornered. The real
reason why fishermen carry rifles with
them. as l believe, is to shoot in close
time.

A well-known Maine sportsman, in
conversation with the Journal, yester-
day. said:
In view of the position which Forest
e Stream, New York sporting paper
takes with reference to license law
in Maine to hunt big game attention
is directed to the recommendations of
the forest, fisheries and game commits
sion of the state Of New York, in their
last annual report, which says:
1--WE recommend that a license fee
of $50 be imposed upon nonresident
hunters and that provision be made
for the licensing of guides .-
This is for the state of New York,
remember.
These recommendations were pub
lished in the same edition of Forest and
Stream which ridiculed Commissioner
| Cartoons proposition to impose a
moderate license fee on residents
for hunting big game in Maine.
| 1T has been suggested. in view of
Mr.. Widner's letter, the leader of
the Indiana party who comes to Maine
| to hunt. that we should not impose
an -exorbitant license fee lest we run
up against unexpected opposition in
the United States courts; that the size
of the fee, so far as Indiana parties
is concerned, should be just the size
of the fee that Indiana imposes,-to
wit, S25 for hunting anywhere in that
state any wild fowl or game.
Turn about would be fair play. II
a Maine man wishes to go to Indiana
to hunt birds or game he must pas
s25 for license; if an Indiana mar
wants to come to. Maine to hunt Oul
big game would it be unfair to let hin
pay about the same size of a fee?'

Crookston, Mimi, Aug. 15.-No congress
sioEal contest has ever excited as much
general interest in this part of the state
as the present four-cOrnered fight In the
ninth district. The candidates are making
canvass for votes which Cor thorough
ness holds the record in Minnesota. Many
theories are advanced touching upon the
result, but so far few have been willing
to risk their regulations as prophets in
attempting to pick the winner.
Andrew Grindeland Of Warren and Hal
vor STEVENSON of Crookston are making
a hot fight for preference in the north
half of the district. 1t Is this struggle
which has led the supporters of Ezra g..
Valentine of Breckenridge to hope that
divided as to make his strength In the
south The deciding factor S. G. Comstock
Of Moorhead Is not making as aggressive
a fight as the other three, which partly
explains the faith in Valentines ability
to line up big majority Of the voters in
making a careful canvass for several
weeks. Politicians say that his canvas
Is the most systematic. He is asking for
preference partly on his record as an
active member of the drainage board.
The district is being flooded with the
campaign literature Of all four candi-
dates. Valentine in sending out appeals
w
Stevenson. The latter replied assuring
Valentine that he liked him rs a candi-
date, liked his kind of a campaign and
no would willingly support him If he were
not so anxious for the position himself.
There will be hot fight for the state
senatorship between A. D. Stephens, the
Crookston banker, and Hugh Thompson Of
East Grand Forks. Stephens has informed
the voters o. tie district that If elected
he will endeavor to have law passed by
which the state will lend money at per
cent on drainage bonds issued by coun-
ties. At the present time the counties
are forced to pay seven per cent on
drainage bonds. Stephens believes that
borrowing money Of the state at two per
cent would greatly assist the work of
draining the wet portions of the northern
counties and as the state is already loan
| ing some funds at that rate the counties
would be asking nothing unusual. Steph-
| ems also desires to secure Legislation
making the farmers's hail insurance more
| reliable. o.
He is. good campaigner, has wide
| acquaintance throughout the district an6
will put much ginger into the fight.
