Business and the Sunday Saloon.

Read what the business men in north
and south town say about the effect of
the mayors Sunday CLOSING order on
their business Apparently all the
money once spent in Minneapolis sa7
looms on Sunday is not going to ST.
Paul. A good deal of it has already
found its way into the grocer's and the
butchers money till, and the equivalent
has found it's way to the Sunday dinner
tables of families that have missed it in
the past.
A leading Minneapolitan who thinks
about these things and who has let his
opinion be known says:
Gone Of the arguments used by some
so-called business men is that a large
in the saloons on Sunday, now goes to
st. Paul. This may be the case to some
extent; but when you consider that a
very large part Of all themoney received
at the saloons on Sunday for whisky
and beer, goes ultimately to the dis
tilleries and foreign brcweries, SO that
a comparatively small percentage of
the money is spent in Minneapolis, [
do not see why it is not just as well
to have this Sunday collection taken in
St. Paul or outside of the city as here. -
So that, if it were. true that. a large
amount Of" money goes to St. Paul, it
does not appear that Minneapolis bust
ness loses much of it., or that ST. Paul
gains much, except the distinction of
being the place which our "booze
chasers' frequent on Sunday.

The Norwegian Choice Of a Mon
archY.

The people of Norway have chosen
the Danish Karl for their king by
majority so large as to surprise those.
who believed that far larger fraction
of the liberty-loving Norwegians would
vote for a republic. Beyond doubt,
the republicans would have polled
larger vote under other con-
ditions. In the first place, tho
overwhelming desire Of the people
is for political peace and quiet. Ever
since and even before the act of June
z, Norway has been in a turmoil. What
with the sudden. rupture of relations
with Sweden, what with the ever-possi-
BILE contingency Of war with the brother.
nation; what with the long drawnSouts
negotiations at observation-disclosures came
a.numerous brood of disquieting rumors
what with the excitement attendant
on the first referendum as to the disso-
luton Of the union, the people of Nor
way have had enough unrest and dis
turbance to satisfy far more volatile
nation. Business conditions which
would otherwise have been Of the best
have suffered, too. 20 >':EH =,
AT this moment comes the Nicholson
government with proposal to make
Karl king, retain the old constitution
so loved and honored by @Norwegians
everywhere-and settle down to ra-
tional development of national life and
aspirations. Premier Nicholson and
Foreign Minister Loevland, believing
that Norway's position among mon
arches made it practically essential to
adopt a similar form of government,
have with great; acumen submitted to
the people the question whether or not
they would take Karl-not whether
they wanted monarchy or a republic.
The republicans were thus in the awk-
ward position of being forced to vote
against a prince they liked from a
brother country in order to maintain
their republican principles. And in SO
voting they were also voting to con-
tinue the agitation and political unrest
for year and perhaps longer. They
were voting to tear the 5venerated
Hsgrundlov' OF constitution to pieces
and to create practically new docu-
ment. They were voting to differen-
tiate Norway's government from that

Somewhat ConAicting.,

The dispatches today state that the
representatives Of five of the leading
railway labor organizations have pre-
scented to the president a protest
against his plan for railway rate regu-
lation. They argue that government
regulation means lower rates and lower
rates means lower wages. '~.
Just how this argument is to be re
conciled with the claim of the railroad
companies that railroad rates are lower
without government regulation than
they are with it is not apparent, but
this has been one of the trongApoints
urged ,rhefore the senate committee by
their star witness, Professor Hugo
Meyer. If it is true, as the railroads
claim, that the public gets lower rates
when the RAILROADS are let alone. than
it gets when the government supervises,
then the argument of the railway or

BIDS RAN HIGH ON
STATE MINERAL LEASES

Good prices were realized by the
state auditor today for six mineral
leases on which conflicting applications
had been made. They were sold at auc-
ton and the bidding was lively. Two
went at the lowest possible figure, $26,
and another at $40, but the other three
went over 500. The contracts that
had lapsed could have been kept going
by the payment Of 500.
W. D. Washburn, Jr., of Minneapolis,

of section 1862, and $115 for part of
