LIE Sueur News: 1t is said the retail
liquor dealers of the state propose to
ask the legislature to enact law max
ing it au offense to have lunch table
in a saloon, on the theory that it is an
expensive luxury to them. The legis-
lature should not fail to pass such a
law, not for the reason asked, half as

beer there, eating not only lunch, but
often dinner and supper as we'll, while
the family needs the money spent for
beer.

the same can be turned in by the car
riers and properly written.

one of the strongest political rings in
