sold as beverages, and in this way, OF
course, the ordinary druggists sup
ply of alcoholic bracers may escape.
The significance lies in the fact that
the principal is established, the line
will be drawn, the reason for temper
airy escape will be understood, and
the inquiry is fairly started.
Third-This leads directly to con-
sideration of the last and most inn
portant movement which is the un-
official investigation into the COM
position of so-called medicines which
are served to the general public. The
manner in which as fearless journal
as Golfers Weekly has entered upon
this investigation is proof conclusive
that there will be no turning back
short of the truth. 1t is a safe pre-
diction that the life insurance dis
closures are to the patent medicine
revelations like a starved snipe to an
over fed goose. Popular surprise
and indignation are only beginning to
discern the naked truth. 1t will be
found that the Temperance League
as self-constituted public guardian
is lamentab1y incompetent because it
has been misled by the well worn cry
of "Stop, thief" 1t will be shown
that the loudest temperance shouters
among the newspapers are paid and
engaged to throttle every attack up
on those who sell alcohol under false
pretense, in quantities and of quail
ties that raises the question how a
race could survive its common use.
Some of the hair-brained attacks up
on those who have sought to make
their beverages healthful and honest,
may now be ascribed to the inroads
which indiscriminate use of certain
patented beverages must necessarily
have made upon body and brain. The
people will learn something of the
distinction between an. honest and
legitimate use of alcohol and it's
fagrantly criminal sale to the ignor-
ant and the vicious.
Finally, some OF the ignominS
which has been unjustly visited upon
a class of legitimate business men
who produce and sell what they ad-
vertise, will at last fall to those who
really deserve it; when the advertis-
ing druggist, and the concoctor of
dangerous medicines will be brought
within reasonable control and will be
asked to tell the truth about their So
far irresponsible trade.

which will average fifteen square
miles In width along the west side Of
the Red river from the south line Of
Cass county to the north line Of
Walsh county This strip covers an
area of 2,035 square miles, this re-
quired the running of 1888 miles of
levels at a total cost Of $2,353.3O to
the four countries.
The survey will be maded the basis
for a great system of drainage ii the
valley. It is hoped to secure the per-
mission Of congress at the next SEES
sion to apply 20 per cent of the pro-
ceeds from the sale of government
land in the state to the cost of carry
ing on this and other drainage work,
instead of applying the entire pro-
ceeds for irrigation purposes as at
present. If the change is authorized
by congress, fully $1.J0O,O0 will be
available for drainage purposes.
The money available from the sale
OF government land would, in any
event, necessarily be supplemented by
state and county aid. &
But two counties in the valley
failed to take advantage Of the offer
of Chief Engineer Elliott of the
drainage bureau Of the department of
agriculture that If the counties would
pay half the cost the government
would pay the other half of the cost
of making the survey. The counties
were Richland and Fembina. It is
probable, however, that the last named
county will make a request in the
spring that the survey be made.

Antitrust Law Is N. @.

~ Montana's so-called antitrust law
was declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court in an exhaustive opin-
ion written by Chief Justice Theodore
Branely. Several months ago pro-
ceedings were begun against Cudahy,
Hammond and others, five In all, to
punish them for conspiracy to control
prices of cattle and meats in Montana.
Criminal proceedings were brought
before District Judge Henry G. Smith
in Helena. Counsel for the packers
demurred-to the information, setting
UP that the law was unconstitutional
and that it excepted agricultural and
horticultural classes; in other words
it was class legislation, thereby vio-
lating the constitution. Judge Smith
sustained the demurrer, and the state
appealed, with the result that the SUI
preme court follows the ruling Of the
supreme court of the United States
which declared unconstitutional for
similar reasons the antitrust law Of
Illinois, was excepted agriculturalists
and raisers Of live stock. 9s s..
North Dakota has similar law,
known as the Shells antitrust bill,
that was passed at the last session Of
the legislature. This law also ex-
empts the agricultural classes, and
the fact that It was not opposed by
the great corporations stamped it as
unconstitutional at the time.

AN ALCOHOL REVELATION.

When the Anti-Canteen League
succeeded in forcing it's restricted
and narrow views upon congress and
so upon the army, the result was re-
garded as, a triumph for prohibition.
Like many similar abuses of tempo
rary power, it has proved precisely
the reverse. Senator Gallagher and
his league have gone to great ex-
tremes, and, fortunately for the
cause of temperance, have invited
the reaction from which sane legis-
lation may now be expected.
However general this action has be-
come is evidenced by the fact that
movements for redress have appeared
in three distinct quarters.
First-It is apparent that the army
is emphatically for the canteen.
There is no reason to assume that
army officers are in any sense pre-
JUDGED upon the subject. The
Temperance Leagues charge that
the position of army officers finds it's
explanation in the fact that these
officers are themselves drinkers is
unworthy, and, of course, untrue.
Army officers have every inducement
not to- run counter to the expressed
policy of congress-, and they have
every reason to urge a policy which
will increase their own control and
influence over their men. 1t is en-
Tightening that in urging this policy
the commanders do not stand alone.
They are supported by the army
surgeons and certainly no one will
contend that the opinion of these
surgeons is also to be ascribed to
their disposition to indulge in alco-
holic beverages, and to extend equal
facilities for such indulgence to the
rank and file. Such contention is
in itself unreasonable, and must
necessarily result in resentment and
in correction.
Second-At the same time it ap-
pears that the commissioner of in
ternal revenue in Washington has de-
cided that patent medicines which
contain alcohol and which are sold
as beverages must pay the usual
revenue tax. There is, of course, no
connection between these two move
ments, beyond the fact that they
argue for a widespread interest and
agitation upon subject which has
been clouded by prejudice and hypo-
cricy. 1t is remarkable that legiti-
mate liquor interests permitted them
selves to be burdened with so dispro-
portionate responsibility for the
baneful consequences of the use and
abuse of alcohol, But if these inter
ests have managed their own affairs
poorly, the public, which is entitled
to first consideration always, is to be
congratulated that light is promised
through this official and entirely in
dependent source. 1t is not unlikely
that there will be some rafting of
dry bones when it is discovered in
how large a degree the temperance
declaimers have been braced in their
supreme efforts by the liberal, though
perhaps unconscious, use of alcohol
in disguise. or course, the ruling of
the coy,, N, sccs ~ oe SO
will reach only a comparatively small
number of alcoholic products. BY
far the largest number Of them will
still, in the guise Of innocent patent
medicines, escape the penalties OF the
revenue collector. This is due to the:
technicalties Of the law which restrict
the collector to products avowsdly

NORTH DAKOTA BRICK.

Demand Tor the Native Product Has
Been Unprecede Future sof
Industry Very Bright.
Architect George Hancock Of Far
60, writes interestingly to the Dick
inson Press on the brick industry as
follows:
The buildings erected during the
year 1905 with brick made in North
Dakota are revelation to the old
residents OF the state and also mat
ter Of the greatest surprise to the es-
tablished brick manufacturers Of the
middle west. s
Fargo, Grand Forks, Minot and
Mandan are turning out vast
quantity Of common brick Of a very
high grade suitable for all kinds of
general work, and the time is not far
distant when it will be necessary to
establish brick yards every fifty or
sixty miles along the lines Of the
Northern Pacific. Great Northern and
500 railways within the state III order
to keep up with the rapidly growing
demands for substantial fire proof
material. sa n. .5.4 D
In the line Of pressed brick the
state Of North Dakota Is making rapid
strides in perfecting Nigh grade
goods. The yards at Dickinson,
Hebron and Walhalla have all been
overcrowded with orders and the OUT
look for 1906 is most promising.
At the present rate Of development
and improvement in the quality Of
the product Of these yards it will be
but short time before North Dakota
will be heavy shipper Of all kinds
and shades Of the highest quality OF
pressed brick equal In all respects to
the famous st. Louis material.
Some of the buildings faced with
North Dakota pressed brick are the
new Federal building and the Masonic
Temple at Grand Forks, the Public
library at Grafton and the new school
at Bismarck, the reform school at
Mandan, the Barnes & Nelson build
ing at Glenullin, the new high school
at jamestown, the Catholic church ]
and number OF business blocks at
Dickinson and numerous other build
ings at Fargo, Devils Lake, Minot and
other points.
Only q few years ago the whole Of
3 this material would have come from
outside the state, whereas now these
local yards are shipping brick over a
wide territory extending from Winni-
neg to Iowa and as far west as Butte
and Helena with bright prospects Of
increasing trade for the future.
In addition to great variety Of
building brick ali kinds OF fire brick,
fire clay, locomotive fre box Innings,
boiler settings, fire arches and tiles
are also being manufactured.
North Dakota has not only an In
exhaustib1e supply OF high grade
brick and pottery clays, but also an
abundance Of cheap and available
fuel with which to burn them, and in
the near future will be counted among
the greatest Of the brick and tile
producing states Of the west.

THE REVOLT FROM PARTY.

Results of the elections in all Sec
tons show that party lines are no
longer impossible corrals that herd
voters says the Memphis News-Scimi-
tar.
OF all the notable results the most
striking and really significant is the
evidence of disintegration of parties.
From New York to San Francisco
and from Massachusetts to Louisiana
the proofs of party disruption and re-
organization are unmistakable.
Philadelphia, by crushing majori-
ty, has overthrown the political organ
ization that so long held the city in
bondage, but more republicans than
democrats took part in the uprising
against the republican machine.
Ohio's last years republican major
ity of more than 100000 has been
more than overcome in the election
of a democratic governor; but leading
the fight against republican bosslsm
were many of the most eminent repub-
licans of the state and nation.
The general disregard of party lines
must be amazing to all who have not
been observing the recent trend OF po-
litical thought and feeling.
In Wisconsin the followers of Gov
ernor La Toilette have, in respect of
political principles, aims and senti-
ments, much more in common with the
Bryan wing of democracy than with
the social regular" republican or
ganization of the state.
In Missouri the followers of Cover
nor Folk have definitely broken with
most of the old politicians who have
been accustomed to control the demo-
cratic and republican machinery.
All other proofs however. of the
widespread and growing laxity of par
ty ties have been eclipsed by the unex-
ampled enthusiasm with which Presi-
dent Roosevelt was greeted In his tour
through eight southern states every
one of which year ago gave its cleo
toral vote to his opponent.
Party name has ceased to exercise
a spell. and party loyalty is no longer
a fetch.
Men are fixing their eyes upon the
desirability of definite programs, with
out regard to the party seal affixed.
1t is not revolution that has come
suddenly, nor will 1t pass in a day.
