AS to the Lid.

The Importance of the discussion as
to whether the "lid' has been pried
loose in Minneapolis rests upon it's ef-
feet on the future. The incoming mayor
is pledged to keep the saloons closed
on Sunday. The present mayor is keep
ing them closed on Sunday. But the
dealers in intoxicants possibly may
have different idea Of the Jones lid
and the Haynes lid. If they could
make the Jones lid, during the remain
der of the year, take the shape that
they hope to see in Haynes lid, after
the first of the yea1, there would be so
much gained in the holding of public
opinion in advance.
Whether the lid was lifted last Sun
day or not it was not done with the adj
vice or consent of Mayor Jones. He
has made that clear in his statement to
the press. He has also stated that he
would discipline any policeman, who,
assuming to act for him, has extended
privileges not contemplated by. the law.
The lawewill be enforced as Mayor
Jones began to enforce it to the close
of his term. This is only fair to Mayor
Jones and to Mayor-elect Haynes.
Mayor Jones cannot afford to have it
said that he weakened on law enforce
ment after his defeat, because law en-
forcement was not defeated. It was in
dorsed by both candidates. Nor would
it be fair to the incoming mayor for his
predecessor to take any steps to rear
range the plan Of administration in the
last days Of term. Mayor Jones
business is to continue as he began
with law enforcement and to leave Mr..
Haynes the opportunity to carry out his
campaign pledges in their virgin purity.

The Frustrating Senate.

The question was raised in the senate
yesterday as to whether Charles j. Bon
aparte would make good attorney gen.
eral in view Of the fact that seven
years ago he expressed the opinion that
combination was inevitable in modern
civilization, that it has good side and
a bad side and that it cannot be alto
gether suppressed except at the price of
liberty and civilization. These philo-
sophie remarks led some of the senators
to doubt whether as attorney general
Mr.. Bonaparte would pursue the trusts
with that relentless vigor which the
senate so ardently desires.
It is gratifying to find the trust-hat-
ing senate so alert in this matter. The
leader in this expression of dubiety as
to MI. Bonaparte's qualifications was
Senator Culberson Of Texas, who hates
trust almost as virulently as his col
league, Senator Bailey. The latter dis
liked the Standard Oil trust so heartily
that he borrowed $4,000 from tan
exhibition Of ill-wiI and malevolence
that would be hard to surpass.
Evidently, Mr.. Bonaparte must some.
how demonstrate that he flies into an
uncomfortable rage whenever he sees q
trust mentioned in print, before these
tireless and interchangeable trust-hunts-
men OF the senate will permit him to
become attorney general. 1t makes one
feel quite safe and secure to reflect that
the United States senate is such a bull
wark of the rights of the people and
at the same time Bosom Of destruc-
ton for the devastating trusts.

The Winter Wheat Report.

The government has fixed upon Dec.

Every year the country puts between
thirty-one and thirty-two million acres
into winter wheat. The December es
innate of condition, with acreages for
the states, make the first Intelligent
guide for the interests that depend for
| activity upon crop production. But
the December estimate is likely to be

Every April the government makes it's

since December, and sometimes this
runs to a considerable part Of the
whole, depending principally upon the
depth Of snow covering dtring the win

Hence, while a report on winter
wheat such as the department. issued
yesterday is a most favorable indica-
ton Of a good crop, it is by no means
infallible. Winter wheat differs from
spring wheat in this respect. The GOV
eminent makes it's estimate Of spring
wheat acreage and condition, and al

the trade, other considerations are up
