The Line Saloon.

The line lumber yard and the line
elevator are familiar to the commercial
world. Under this system the business
is carried on in small places by a large
corporation and the local yard or ele-
vator is but link in a great chain.
The Fergus Falls Journal pertinently
calls attention to another development,
the line saloon. It is installed by a
big brewery as a rule. The Journal
declares that the establishment of the
line saloon has resulted in a marked
change in the character of the men in
the saloon business and in the charac-
ter of the saloons themselves. Former
~ the rural saloon was conducted by a
man who put his own capital into the
business and who took a certain pride
i,v conducting it in such a way as to
maintain his standing in the commune
ty and keep his family to an extent in
the social swim. .5.-. H. .
This type of saloonkeeper is passing
away. In fact he is gone. He has
been succeeded by the agent Of the
brewery who has no interest in the
place except his salary and no motive
in the business except to make as large
showing of sales as possible. If he
does not make good he is out, but the
brewery remains and puts in some man
with a larger scent for sales. A
license, the journal says, is no longer g
permit to an accountable person to sci
liquor, but simply a tax upon the
brewing company. The competition be
tween brewing companies has resulted
in there being established more saloons
than are profitable and the necessity
for sales has induced great pressure
upon the local governments for extend
ed hours.

HOWARD JAMES BACK
He Says Conditions in the Orient Are
Encouraging.

- Howard James, vicepresident of the
Great "A Northern Steamship company,
who has returned from the orient, says
trade is bound to increase, especially
with China, if congress is inclined to
deal fairly with the exclusion act. The
Chinese wish the United States to treat
their intelligent classes, students and
educated men, with the consideration
given other peoples. He believes that
tourist travel with the orient will in
crease. Railroad fare is comparatively
low in Japan. The third-class passen-
gers are crowded into cars similar to
the way that streetcar passengers are
damned together in America. While
the equipment is Indifferent, the road
beds are good in Japan.

An Independent President.

The decision Of the New York court
Of appeals dashes the hopes of William
Randolph Hearst IS becoming mayor of
New York, but it appears to have sent
Hearst stock up higher politically.
There is talk Of making him an in
dependent candidate for governor of
New York and after he has won that
office of hosting him to the presidency.
How this is to be done we are not in
formed, but undoubtedly Mr.. Hearst
would prefer to be elected as an indie
pendent. This is something which has
never been accomplished and therefore
something worth Mr.. Hearst IS while to
try. Very ordinary men have been
elected to the presidency by parties,
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-12-23

but it would take an extraordinary
man to reach that dizzy height without
a party. Mr.. Hearst is not an ordinary
man nor are his methods conventional.
He will very likely announce stimuli
taneously in all his newspapers that
William Randolph Hearst thereby Of
fers himself as a candidate for the
presidency on a platform of free trade,
free soup, free car rides and free
everything but advertising. On this the
rates will be raised. ~
But we do not see why Mr.. Hearst
delays the conquest Of the presidency
until after he has been governor of
New York. Why in the world should
he care to be governor Of New York
when Washington is lonesome for him
It looks like a concession to the meth
DDS of the parties. -. ....... ,~..

ALPHABET ROAD SALE
Captain Reed Says Directors Were
Scared by a Bluff,

Rumors are circulating to the effect
that the Milwaukee Railway company
has bought the Alphabet road with the
idea of shutting off it's construction.
The negotiations for the sale to E. L.
Tobie & Co. Of New York have been
completed, according to dispatches from
Mankato. The late president, A. H
Reed of Glencoe, charges that the di
rectors were frightened into the sale by
threats of appointment of a receiver
He says that Tobie g. Co., under their
construction contract, were to have had
the line completed from Albert Lea tc
Mankato by Jan. l, 1906, but being un
able to do this and fearing that thei,
surety bond would be enforced, took
means to secure title to thes road.

was told that his name was worth it.
