Lawyers in the Dark.
Do you know the law todayq

Do you know the law todayq &
You may think you do, and perhaps
you do, but there is strong chance
that you are nightly mistaken. The
revised statutes which became effective
at midnight last night are supposed to
be a condensation Of the statutes Of for
ty years, but they are full Of new mat
ter, and it will be months before the
bar Of the state can get acquainted
with all Of the changes made. 1t will
be years before the courts get thru con-
STRUNG them. Just now, however, the
state is full Of lawyers who do not even
know how the law reads. Copies OF
tho code turned out so far have gone to
judges, state and county officials. 1t is
now the turn Of the lawyers, but at the
slow rate of publication it will be
weeks before all are supplied. No mat
ter how badly lawyer wants to know
the law Of the state, he must sit and
twirl his thumbs till his turn arrives,
unless he is lucky enough to borrow a
code from some judge or county officer.
It is to be hoped that no more serious
mistakes Turk in the code, but the first
look has not been reassuring. Only
two copies had left the printers hands
when it was found that 100000 In ap-
preparations for ten state institutions
| had been left out. The revisers left
them out on purpose, and the legislature
intended to put them back in, but no
| one happened to attend to the matter.
So the statehouse was turned topsy-
turvey, an extra session was threatened,
and state officers were in council two
days before they devised makeshift
to carry the institutions thru the year
and avoid the extra session bogie. That
omission was big as a barndoor. There
probably are others, less patent at first
glance, but just as important and less
easily corrected. i - II
It is big risk to run, but we have
our code, and the lawmakers and other
citizens who were code-hungry will be
satisfied-as soon as their turn comes tc
possess copy. Our legislature will
meet again in ten months more, and may
be able to repair the greater part of, the
damage by passing few dozen cura
tive acts and applying a layer OF
patches to the code. -.t .

The Campaign for Free Alcohol.

One Of the great essentials to the
success Of nation in manufacturing Is
fuel. The United States has abund-
ance Of fuel and also an abundance OF
ignorance in the art Of protecting 1t
from monopoly. The coal fields have
been seized and made to- pay tribute to
an excessively cheeky and disgusting
combine of the coal-carrying railroads,
which have no moral or legal right to
own coal fields at all. The whole pop
ulation has joined in a vicious and bar
barous assault upon the forests Of the
country and has done practically moth
ing to repair the ravages Of the pioneer
ing period. +
Fuel to make steam power with which
to turn the wheels of factories has been
SO far absorbed that it is behind and
/ will remain behind the demand. The
future Of the country as a manufacture
ing center cannot depend entirely upon
them.
But there have come into use two
other forms Of power dynamos which
gather electricity and distribute it in
the form Of power and gas engines.
The latter can be run by gasolene OF
by alcohol. Now gasolene production
in this country, by a conspiracy whose
history is being gradually revealed, has
become the exclusive function Of the
Standard Oil company. To legally Dust
the Standard Oil company from its
place would be a work Of years, but
there is another way to circumvent il
and that is by the use of alcohol as
power. There is but one thing stand
ing in the way Of this, and that is thu
| government tax upon alcohol. There
/ is now before congress bill to remit thi
EaaBax upon alcohol to be used in the arts
To make it effective, however, it is nee
essary to convince the people that tn,
alcohol withdrawn for use in the arts
will not be drunk. There are scientifi
ways of making it unfit to drink, which
are comparatively inexpensive. Ere
alcohol could be made for a few cent
a gallon, whereas taxed alcohol cost
from So to $3.50, according to its purity
/ It would seem as tho the government
| would not hesitate to release this mag
nifcent fighting weapon against tn
Standard Oil monopoly.
In addition to its use in power, al
coho1 has been shown to be essential i
q great many industries. Til e jour
ma has heretofore alluded to the fac
that the United States no longer manu-
features percussion caps. We impor
them from Canada, because the Cana
dams have the sense not to tax thei
in ustrial alcohol and therefore sell i

TO COOK FOR JAcK1Es
Minneapolis Bakers Enlist in tn

Hot biscuit instead of hot shot is
what two Minneapolis boys have agreed
to hand out for Uncle Sam. Incident
ally they will construct such other dain-
ties as baked beans, boiled potatoes,
roast beef, apple pie and plum duff for
the bold sailor men of the United States

The Cat Out of the Bag.

Senator Foraker, in the course Of his
argument against the rate bill, stated
the case for the bill as it stands better
than any friend Of the bill has or prob
ably will state it. Senator Foraker
said:
"Between extortion on the one hand
and confscation on the other, there is,
In most cases, considerable latitude
within which an action Of the commits
sion without a special statutory pro-
vision for it's review by the courts
would be final and conclusive
That is to say that in many cases the
Action of the commission in overthrow
ing an unfair rate and replacing it by
|. fair rate would be so manifestly re-
loved from the realm Of confscation
nat the courts under the Hepburn bill
it stands would have no occasion to
lterfere. "

z.zlae final or conclusive The friends
of the Hepburn bill in the senate should
be greatly obliged to the brilliant sen
ator from Ohio for this calculation, Of

issue. It makes it very plain what the
railroads expect to gain by the review

The Gross Earnings Tax.

With two railroads contesting the
payment Of the per cent gross earn
ings tax, the state Of Minnesota has re-
ceived from each one larger revenue
than last year. Each system is paying
4 per cent on part Of its line, and the
Great Northern has paid $64,666.36
more than it would pay under the
straight 8 per cent tax. The Great
Western, which is paying only 2 per
cent on part Of its line, pays 4 on the
rest Of the system. From all, the rail
roads, without counting the two sums in
litigation, the state has received $685.
252.24 more in taxes than it did last
year, and $62o,671.97 more than it
would have received on the 1905 earn
ings at the old rate. At 8, per cent the
state would receive only $2,249, 2S7.96.
The roads have already paid in $780,
959.93, and the two amounts in contro-
versy, if they are collected, will swell
the revenue for this year to over $3,-
100000. The long fight paid in the end,
but it would have paid better if the end
had not been SO long deferred. s

Editor Howe of the Atchison Globe,
whose father always made him go to
church and sit up straight, grew up with
a crouch against religion. All thru his
editorial career he has had a. leaning
toward paganism and free trade. Re-
Gently he started on a tour around the
world and has been sending back letters
which took an occasional fall out of mis-
sionaries. In Japan and Korea he could
not find anything good to say for them,
but his opinions have been undergoing q
change. The missionaries in India, he
admits, are a kindly, helpful body of peo-
pie who are doing all they can to ameli-
crate the hard conditions which prevail
in that pagan stronghold. The missions
aries and the churches will learn with
some satisfaction of the partial CONVEX
sion Of Mr.. Howe. Heather editors are
usually as hard to get at as other heather
