How They Make the Drinks.

The sensational charge made by Rep
resentative Hall on the floor of the
house at Washington to the effect that
thousands of barrels of Whistles, gins,
brandies and cOrdials consumed in New
York every year were made from chemi-
Gals was thoroughly corrOborated through
an investigation in New York.
1t developed that a barrel of whisky
which retails by the drink in a firstclass
cafe for more than $500, can be manu-
featured for less than $40, and that
strong essences are the potent factor
in the making of great proportion of
all bar products. In forty gallons of
creme de menthe, which 200 men would
not ordinarily consume in twenty four
hours there are less than eight ounces
of genuine extract, while a pine of
brandy essence is sufficient for full
barrel of cognac.
No distillation process is used in the
manufacture of these chemical liquors,
and after they have stood for three
hours they are ready for the market
Drugs supply a head which makes whis-
ky look as if it were aged by years of
repose in the wood, while colors are add
ed that render it almost impossible to
detect the fraud
In the borough of Manhattan alone
there are more than fifteen firms sup
plying these chemicals.

Mayor Jones and a denomination.

Mayor Jones of Minneapolis has ex-
pressed a willingness to stand for a re-
nomination.
A delegation of Minneapolis business
and professional men called upon Mayor
Jones yesterday and asked him to again
seek the position.
Mayor Jones is the man who applied
the lid to Minneapolis and made it
stick. He did this in spite of threats
and the emphatic protest of the saloon
men and their followers, who are many
in that city.
The lid is still fixture in the -four
city. The saloons are made to observe
the law, and the notion that it is i'm
possible to close the liquor shops in a
good-sized town on Sunday has been
amply proved as one founded upon a
false and frail structure.
Minneapolis has not suffered by this
law observance. Legitimate trade has
not been interferred with. In fact many
hundreds of men who were in the habit
of spending their money for liquor
on the Sabbath day, now exchange it for
the more useful things-and husbands
and fathers who had given up their time
to the saloons on that day now remain
in the family circle which is the proper
place for them.
Mayor Jones will be bitterly opposed
in his contest for reelection The sa-
loon and liquor interests and the so-call-
ed liberal element will put up most
strenuous fight to keep him from oc-
cupying the mayors chair another two
years. That is to be expected. The
question of the lid will be paramount
and the issue will be brought before the
people in all its phases.
Mayor Jones is simply enforcing the
law as he finds it. He is carrying out
the oath of his office. He did not Gre

Thaw's desperate deed furnishes food
for those who enjoy scandal.
The Deadly Tetanus.

Mankato small boys will have dou-
They will not only celebrate Independ
ence day but will have to look after
day. In their enthusiasm they should
be careful not to celebrate to the, eX-
tent of losing their fingers or suffer an
attack of tetanus. Celebrations of the
past have not only been productive of
fun, but they have been the incuba-
tors of that dread trouble-lockjaw, or
in medical parlance tetanus.
The Journal of the American Medical
association recently referred to the death
harvest caused by tetanus and warns
the public to have care.
In another week we shall experience
our annual tetanus lock paw moe
ulation experiment, its size depending on
the extent to which public authorities
permit the violation of the laws that,
in nearly every community, prohibit the
use of firearms. For every blank cart
ridge, giant cracker or cannon wound,
public authorities or public sentiment
are responsible. In 1908, the total re-
suit of the celebration was 466 dead, Ais
cases of tetanus and 1888 injured; i'm
1904, it was 1873 dead, l05 cases of te-
tanus and 1886 injured; in 1905 it was
1872 dead, lO4 cases of tetanus and 1894
injured. The great and gratifying de-
| crease in the number of deaths, and
especially from tetanus, since 1903, we
must ascribe to two chief causes; first,
the reduction in the use of blank cart
ridges as a means of celebration; and
second, the improved care received by
patients with blank cartridge wounds. As
to the decrease in these wounds, the
number in 1903 was 1872; in 1904, L.
OO5; in 1905, S09 This decrease occur
red as the result of enforcement in
many cities of laws controlling the sale
and use of pistols for celebration pur-
poses, and because of the agitation in
the daily papers and medical journals
against this source of tetanus. That
by the great increase in injuries from
other causes which there was no special
agitation.

Younger's Broken Promise.

Governor johnson declares that the
state is well rid of Cole Younger, and
Attorney General Young gives it as his
opinion that Minnesota could not bring
the former bandit back even were it dis
posed to do so.
Younger made a solemn promise to
the state authorities that if given a
pardon he would not connect himself
with any show or public exhibition. His
promise, however, has been broken not
only once, but several times. There is
no need to call up the facts.
The surprising feature of Youngers
case is that he should, short time ago,
after violating a promise given so sol
EMMY, have had the face to request a
full and complete pardon which would
restore him to all the rights and priv
ileges of citizenship.
However, there is no need to dwell at
great length on this disagreeabe matter
The state of Minnesota has learned by
this experience that men of the Younger
stripe do not live up to their word.
Younger's pardon was a mistake. His
remittance into the world was the signal
for a great deal of comment, much of it
bordering on the hero worship and the
glOrification of man who was entitled
to no credit for his life's work. 1t would
have been better for Younger had he re-
manned in oblivion.

Put the Issue Into Practice.

Nobody will attempt to discredit the
policy of state development which A. l..
Cole, the republican candidate for gov
ernor, is apparently going to make his
leading issue in the coming campaign.
The only trouble with it as an issue is
it is no issue. There can be no issue
where everybody agrees, and everybody
in Minnesota agrees in the need, prac-
ticability and desirabilty of state de-
elOpment.-Duluth Herald.
Very true. Everybody is agreed on
the issue of state development, but the
one great issue before the people is to
elect man for governor who will put
that issue into practice. A. L. Cole is
that man.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Louisville Courier Journal: If we were
Mr.. Hearst's nearest friend we should
dissuade him from the following of what
is at best but phantom. No man can
be true to his calling as journalist and
be a seeker after office. Upon the thresh-
old the honest journalist is at a great
disadvantage, and, in time, if he sticks
to the political arena, he will cease to be
honest. Journalism is a jealous mistress,
and public opinion is skittish jade.
Between the two the self-seeking jour
nalist is likely to 90 down. He can not
successfully play fast and loose with
either. Upright, elevated, powerful jour
nalism rests upon, and can only be long
sustained by, two supports independ-
ence and disinterestedness. Both are at
war with office getting. Does Mr.. Hearst
court the fate of Horace Greeley? If
he does, let him 90 ahead He will surely
get there. But he were wiser to throw
office to the dogs and 90 in for the de-
velopment and substantiation of princi-
Piles and ideas.
Albert Lea Tribune: Anarchists are
said to be unusually busy at present and
they have several noted people marked
for slaughter, but all the governments
of the earth should unite in concerted
action and stamp out this society that
advocates and promotes unbridled crime
and destruction. The world has no need
or use for such people and they may be
truly said to cumber the earth.
Milwaukee Sentinel: The peek "a boo
waist is an unmitigated blessing. 1t af-
fords comfort to the gentle wearer, both
physical and mental. 1t brings JOY to
the heart of mere man, who gazes at the
half revealed charms of neck and shout
ders and realizes how beautiful the
world is after all. 1t adds to the wealth
of the purveyor, who charges nine prices
for these filmy garments, as any family
man will testify, and it doesn't hurt
anybody. Clergymen should confne them
selves to religious subjects and not en-
deavor to disrupt the feminine portion
of their congregations by attacking the
peek-a- boo waist or any other harmless
feminine frivolity. And under no cir
cumstances should they call them bath
ing suits The revelations of peek-a-
boo waist and those Of a bathing suit
are as widely separated as they can
possibly be; and priest who compares
the two shows lack of observation
that is productive almost of contempt.
Brainerd Tribune: The nomination of
Hon. A. L. Cole of Cass county for gov
ernor by the republican state convention
should be particularly gratifying to the
people of central and northern Mime
sofa. Mr.. Cole has long been closely
identified with the interests of this sec
ton of the state and he is in every re-
spect representative man, energetic,
progressive, wideawake and ever alive
to the needs of the country in the way
of development and progress. He was

err house of the state legislature is ia
