CalderWoOd arranged for a meeting
at Cass Lake on one days notice.
Bad weather and the short notice
made the audience small but $34
were raised and some special workers
were enrolled. Bagley and Fosston
gave $62 and $50 respectively, beside
pledging considerable work.
The fourth week of the great CAM
paign began Saturday, Oct. 28th, at
Warren. The meeting was held in
the Methodist church. Workers were
enrolled and cash subscriptions
amounting to $135 given to the work.
Our speakers arrived in Ada at mid
night where they learned that they
were announced for church services
at Halstad, 19 miles away at 10:30
A. M. Catching a few hours sleep,
they were off and Mr.. Stewart preach
ed Gospel sermon in the Norwegian
Methodist church. The Prohibition
party has carried Halstad at some
past elections in spite of the best
efforts of the old parties and the
people from the country around gave
the campaigners royal receptions.
Mr.. Stewart has often been heard in
Halstad but never by a larger or
more enthusiastic crowd. Hopes of
great financial results had not been
entertained. The past season was so
wet that farmers could not get into
the fields. The magnificent wheat
crop went untouched. But the spIen-
did sum of 1904 was contributed The
speakers then drove to Shelly, eight
miles away, returning to Halstad af-
ter the meeting. The Shelly Opera
House was crowded. Many stood for
two hours. Thirty persons enrolled
to do some special line of work.
Pledges and cash amounting to $64
were made, the total for the day be-
ing 1868. Norman county is able to
send Prohibitionist to the legis-
lature. The Fertile Opera House was
packed to the limit. People drove in
from many miles. Mr.. Stewart spoke
first for an hour and a half. The
people contributed $233 to the legis-
lative fund. Mr.. Calderwood enrolled
many for special work. The minis
ters of the city had seats on the
platform. An orchestra rendered sew
eral selections. When our itinerants
left Fertile, it headed the list in the
amount raised in single meeting.
Argyle is not an ideal Prohibition
town. but in spite of this fact and of
storm which ragged afternoon and
evening, large audience gathered
at the Opera House. The plan to.
elect Prohibitionists to the legislature
was received cordially and the peo--
pie contributed $45 for the purpose.
The rally was counted the best ever
held at Argyle. There are two strong

Edward Nelson, the Chief Templar
of one of them, presided. There was

legislative fund. Many enrolled for
special work. The next meeting was,

The Lid on at Minneapolis
ooked Order Closing Sunday

however, decided to obey the order
for the time being. The restrained
and even exceedingly polite language
in which they state their position,
the great Difference for his Honor and
their high appreciation of the good
intentions of their fellow-citizens sur
prise even the Oldest inhabitant.
Evidently they are greatly alarmed
lest ST. Paul shall reap a harvest
from the folly of her big Twin.
Sunday each from the 400 saloons a
conservative estimate and is certain
that 25 per cent of this amount will
go to the town down the river. 1t
will be noted that these figures exact
ly agree with Senator Washburn's es-
innate of the waste to which Sun
day closing will put an end.
The brewers own SO per cent of the
saloons of the city. A number of
these are run at a loss. They were
established especially in order to keep
out rival concerns. It was thought by
many friends of the. administration
that the brewers would willingly con-
sent to the lessening of the number
of the saloons on account of the un-
profitableness of portion of them.
They probably prefer, however, to do
the little sum in subtraction them
selves SO that it will come out better
to their liking. They are not being
quoted very extensively and when
quoted say they will obey the order.
The dailies, especially the Journal,
give favorable report of the inaug-
uration of the new regime. That
paper says editorially that very pro-
badly closing the saloon on Sunday
will lessen the number of saloons but
it does not believe that any consider
able number of people not financially
interested in them will regard that
as misfortune. 1t thinks there has
been an advance in public sentiment
in recent years on the saloon ques-
ton.
On the day following the first clos
ed Sunday, the Journal said editorial
ly that doubtless there was a great
deal of money available for family
purposes which, on previous Monday
mornings, reposed in the till or bank
account of the saloonkeeper. Refer
ring to the probability that Sunday
closing would reduce the liquor traf-
fic in Minneapolis, the Journal said,
Now that the Mayors order has
rendered unnecessary further prose
cutfons by the Home Protective
League for Sunday selling, the future
policy of the League is to be de-
termined. It is being urged to be-
gin a crusade for the abolition of pub
lie prostitution. Other citizens, how
ever, go no farther in this matter
than to ask the mayor to deprive the
houses of shame of the privilege Of
selling liquor not only upon Sunday,
which is included in his general or
der, but upon week days as well.
They all have government licenses
but not one of them a city license
and it is urged that In reality they
are operating blind pigs with the con-
sent OF the mayor and city authori-
ties. Many assert that without IL
quor the bawdy house would lose the
most of it's injurious effects as well
as the bulk of it's patronage. The
Mayor is reported to have declared
his intention to carry out this idea
as soon as Sunday closing is a fix
ture.

Tour Grows Better and Better
Caderwoods Campaign Increasing Practical Results
Still Better Things Ahead.

Oliver w. Stewart and state and
national secretary W. G. Calderwood
are marching on. They have spent
considerable of the time since our
last issue in the Red River Valley
and the results of their trip grow
better and better. We think no such
liberality has been shown by Min
nesota Prihibitionists and others who
sympathize with our work as is evil
denced by the reports of the pledges
taken which are now received at
headquarters. The last ten days of
the itinerary have been record-break-
ers thus far in the raising of funds.
Secretary Calderwood has now be-
come used to what surprised him at
the beginning of the trip, that there
was so much interest and purpose in
the extreme Northern part of the
state regarding the election of Prohib
itionists to the next legislature. Our
itinerants write most cordially con-
cerning various workers, many of
them pastors and not all of them
party Prohibitionists heretofore, who
have labored wisely and necessarily
to make their meetings the glorious
success which they have been. Mr..
Stewart has been engaged for still
further time and secretary Calder
wood, catching larger view of the
possibility of this campaign instead
of wearing out or fearing that he will
wear out with his incessant labors,
has already planned to crowd still
more and better work into their al
ready busy days. But that is another
story to which we will refer later on.
AS our Oct number went to press
we mentioned briefly our travellers
last rallies. A few lines more con-
cerning them. "Gov." Dorsett. re-
ceived seven votes at Sandstone, Pine
county. Stewart and Calderwood were
greeted with the City Hall full of
people and $87 were pledged for the
work. Pine City gave Dorsett three
votes but pledged $85 through Stew
art and Calderwood and eleven per-
sons signed cards pledging themselves
Hinckley was visited in a half-rain
half-snow storm, but the audience
which gathered nevertheless gave
$44 and signed a number of the cards.
The Carlton meeting was small but
over $50 were given to the work.
The third week began at Akely
where a great audience assembled in
the Opera House. Many signed en-
rollment cards for special work and
the people contributed $685. Three
meetings in different places and a
drive of 81 miles was the record of
the following day. Early in the
morning they drove to Hubbard where
at an excellent meeting $104 were
pledged. A meeting was held at
Free Methodist church en- route to
Park Rapids in the afternoon and a
wonderful union meeting at Park Ra-
pids closed the day. The Opera
House was crowded. The singing
was excellent. Thirty people enrolled
and gave $S4 to the fund. The next
meeting was held at the Congrega-
tional church at Walker. There was
not vote for the Prohibition ticket
there last fall. Yet the appeal for
funds brought response of $35 and
several signed cards as special work
ers. On the following day our speakers

covering fifteen years or more, Mayor
Jones has issued an order that it shall
be closed. He says his decision has
not been reached suddenly but that
the new policy will not be an ex-
pertinent; there will be no Sunday
saloons during his administration.
Two Sundays have passed since the
order went into effect. Although large
numbers of visitors who had attended
the great Wisconsin, Minnesota foot
ball game remained over the first
Sunday, every saloon, so far as known,
was hermetically sealed and as con-
sequence the day was quiet and the
number of arrests for drunkenness
was less than the average for October.
The only persons arrested for drunken
ness between 1:30 A. M. Sunday and
o'clock Sunday evening came from
st. Paul and the patrol wagon was
not called out once during the same
time. Saloons at RObbinsdale and
some suburban resorts did a good busi-
ness in the earlier part of the day.
Robbinsdale authorities, disgusted
with being the dumping ground of
Minneapolis, have decided to close
saloons on Sunday, hereafter. The
Commercial Club early announced
that it would close it's boozing on
Sunday. OF the twenty drunks that
were arranged in police court on the
second Monday, fifteen were arrested
between Z P. M Saturday and 2:30
A. M. Sunday.
On the whole very favorable i'm

practical workings. Pastors mention
ed the matter at several churches
and commendatory resolutions were
adopted at several of the great Chap
man rivival meetings. The mayor
himself was introduced by DR.. Chap
man at the Monday noon meeting at
the Metropolitan theater following the
2 first closed Sunday and was cordially
received. It is stated that the mayor
has received an avalanche Of con-
gratulations by mail and phone.
Ex.-U. s. Senator w. d. Washburn
predicted a saving of a million dol
lars annually from veritable waste
to the tills of the dealers in bread,
meat, groceries, clothing and boots
and shoes. He has recently discover
ed to his great surprise the extent
to which the saloons have been pat
ronized on Sunday. Speaking of the
claim that the saloon is the working
mans club, he says: 81 do not see
why laboring man, more than any
one else, should need club on Sun
day where he goes each week to frit-
ter away and waste the earnings of
the week that should go to the sup
port of his family. 1t seems to me a
mans own family is the best club
he can have"
The Minneapolis Liquor Dealers AS
sociation was early called together in
a special meeting to consider the sit
uation. They have a good deal to say
about the money they are paying into
the city treasury and about the
rights" which they think the new
order will trample upon. They are
endeavoring to induce the mayor to
enforce Sunday closing against other
lines of business and, in case he will
not enter upon such a crusade, they
threaten to close up the town, enforc-
ing Sunday laws and ordinances

ing his case with lawyerlike clever
ness.

he said. 1.-The body of middle aged

money in his pocket, but nothing to
identify him. He was buried here in
Tyer by the police, who received their
information by an anonymous post

had found the body did not want to be
implicated in any inquiry. Now, who

assumed that the dead man was her
husband; on the strength of that as
