Tremendous Sales.

1t is stated on good authority that
the increase in the sale Of liquor by
the State for the quarter ending March
1st. was $222,000 The fiscal year be-
gins with December.
At this rate of increase the sales for
the entire year will show an increase
Of a million dollars, and last year they
were heavier than ever before. The
total amount bought by the State dis
pensary in the first quarter Of the as
cal year was $4,000 and the total
amount paid to the State dispensary
by the local dispensaries was l,2O0,-
900.
This shows an astonishing array OF
figures. The gross sales Of the sub
dispensaries in 1903 amounted to 81
$4,000. Just little more than twice
as much for three months Of the pres.
ent year. Some ascribe this state OF
affairs to the fact that dispensaries
are being patronized now by many
who patronized blind tigers and
imported their supplies a few years
ago.

FARGO ARGUS ON
EIGHT-HOUR DAY

1.-THE movement of the International
Typographical union for the eight-hour
day is beginning to loom up in the
Northwest. Advertisements are now APP
pearing in number Of newspapers
for non-union printers to report for
duty in St. Paul and Minneapolis, on
October 1. Permanent positions at good
wages are offered. It is apparent from
these advertisements that the employ
ers are planning a general lockout In
the Twin Cities as it is not the desire
Of the local Typographical unions to
declare a strike at that time. Laying
the question of justice in the demand
for the eight-hour day aside, and con-
sidering only the outcome of such
lockout, it will be we'll for all non-union
printers to think twice, and even thrice.
before applying for any of the posi-
tons advertised. It is a well-known
fact conceded by employer and employe
alike, that the International Typo
graphical Union is the most thorough
ly organized labor union in the world.
It has long since passed its infant and
experimental stages, and its members,
by the very nature of their calling,
are the most intelligent in the ranks
of the wage-workers. IL is the am
bltion of most country printers, or
printers In small towns, to sometime
hold positions in the lareg printing
offices in the cities. Many OF these
are OF the opinion that a strike or a.
lockout is their opportunity to graft
~ their ambition. This might prove:
to be the case in some instances, but in
the struggle which the union printers
are anticipating the case will be alto.
getner dinerent. FOR more thaH q year
definite plans have been put forward,
and the printers have been drilled and
marshaled even as Oyama has directed
the Japanese soldiers In their various
campaigns, and when the time comes
for the conflict IF 1t does Gomez the.
union printers of the United States
and Canada will be found ready for the
fray, and will come off the field with
flying colors, and the non-union man
will find that not only his city posi-
ton is lost, but he will adso find that
the country position which he left has
been ursurped by another: Look be-
fore YOU leap" :
