ON TEMPERANCE
Favors the Extension of the Adams
Law, and Points to Its Benefits.
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
1t is pleasant to note that your long,
hard fight for temperance is at last
bearing fruit. Our Tennessee legis-
lation along this line has kept pace
with public sentiment and has at no
time outrun it. And now that the
sale of intoxicants has been excluded
from nearly all the counties in the
state and the people have had time
to notice and feel the beneficial results
of such legislation, public sentiment is
ripe to extend the benefits and pro-
visions of the Adams law to the whole
state. The coming legislature should
do this; for this alone will meet the de-
mand and expectation of the public. To
elevate and improve citizenship, to
make better men and better women is
the first object of all legislation and
the chief desire of all good men. The
ruined homes, the blighted lives and
broken hearts, that mark the trail of
the liquor traffic have not only called
forth the united efforts of the churches.
the prayers and labors Of the chris
tians, but have made the fight holy
one.
But aside from the menace to the
good order of communities and the
public morals, the experience of the
towns in this State, that have excluded
the traffic, proves that it's exclusion in
creases property values and adds to
the general business prosperity of such
communities. The capital that has
been invested in the business enters
other channels of trade, and working
in harmony with other classes of legit-
innate business does its part to pro-
mote the general good. The town of
Is one example of this.
Since it has become a dry town the
saloon men have put their talents,
their energy and their industry into
other business, in which they have
succeeded, and there is not town in
Tennessee or elsewhere, that has
grown more rapidly or more solidly.
The experience OF Lawrenceburg is the
ofall the others. Everywhere
4 strong, healthy public sentiment has
sustained the Legislature on this sub
Iect, and will continue to do so. That
sentiment is now ripe for another on
ward move and it is sincerely to be
hoped that the incoming legislature I
will measure up to the public de-
nands. J. B. BOND. Z

ing force, the representatives of Pres
idant Roosevelt will reach the Cuban
capital early in the week, and the
prophecy has been made in official cir
cles that their work will be completed
in seven days.
Within that limited time it is ex-
pected that it will have been definite
ly determined whether an amicable
settlement of the conflict in the is
land can be brought about without
further Intervention on the part of the
United States.
1t is probable that upon the mission
entrusted to Secretaries Taft and Ba-
con depends the immediate future of
the new Republic, whether 1t shall re-
main. as at present, sovereign State,
or shall come under the active protec-
ton of the United States for time,
at least under the provisions OF the
Platt amendment.
Secretary Taft and Assistant Sec
rotary of State Robert Bacon left
Washington today at 3:45 o'clock over
the Atlantic Coast line for Tampa,
Fla, to embark on naval vessel for
Havana, in accordance with the in
structions of President Roosevelt to
ascertain the exact political situation.
It was announced at the Navy De-
partment tonight that the battleships
Louisiana, Virginia and New Jersey
have been ordered down the Atlantic
coast on a shake-down cruise, and that
they have been directed to keep in
touch with the Government at Wash
ington by wireless telegraphy, and, II
necessary, in the event of an emer-
gency arising, they will be sent to
Havana. 1t was also stated that the
cruisers Tacoma and the Cleveland
have sailed from Norfolk, Va, and
that the cruisers Minneapolis and
Newark will follow them. The Min
neapolis and Newark carry about 700
men altogether, and the Tacoma $50.
Should all these vessels go to Ha-
vana the navy would be able to land
a force of 1000 men in Cuba by We'd
nesday or Thursday, il any develop
ments should occur rendering such ac-
ton necessary. Final instructions will
be be given the Cleveland and other
vessels when they reach Key West.
The Cleveland sailed from the Nor
folk yard yesterday, while the Tacoma
left there today. The Louisiana and
Virginia left Newport yesterday after
hurriedly coaling. The New Jersey
sailed for Boston.

A Healthy Growth.

Minnesota's prosperity is mirrored
in the condition of the state banks.
The deposits in the banks have in
creased from approximately $50, O,00O,-
600 in 1904 to over $4,000, 900 in 1906.
But the item which shows best of all
the excellent condition of the state
banks is the percentage of cash held
by the banks as against immediate
liabilities. The Immediate liabilities
figure up approximately $4,000, 600
against which the banks are carrying
available means in the sum of s14,-
$4,000, which is equivalent to per-
centage of 43 per cent. Under the law
the banks are only compelled to carry
20 per cent of cash means. The num-
ber of banks has increased ITO during
the last two years.

NEW COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

q. E. Erickson and Ole H. UsIem Re-
Sarded Able, Honest Men.
Two new men will take seats at the
county commissioners table with the
organization of the new board at
Princeton during the first week in Jan
uary next.
G. E. Erickson, the successful and
popular young real estate man OF
Milaca, will take the seat vacated by
George Deans of Foreston, while Ole
Fl. Uglem, successful farmer and
business man of the town of Green
bush, will take the seat of Robt. S.
Shaw of the same township. The
writer has known Mr.. Uglem for
twenty years or more and has no hesi-
tation in stating that we believe he
will make an honest and efficient COM
missioner. We have also known and
had considerable business dealing
with Mr.. Erickson during the past
seven years, and have always found
him fair, square and honorable at all
times.
There is probably no geater proof
OF the high estimation in which Com
missioners-elect Erickson and Uglem
are held in their respective districts

Comparative Value.

It is very simple matter for the
advertiser to figure the comparative
values-as business getter-of two
papers having circulations of twenty
one hundred and three hundred re-
spectively. At four cents per inch for
advertisements a paper of three hun
dred circulation is being overpaid,
while the paper with twenty-one hun
dred circulation is underpaid even at
twenty-five cents per inch. That COM
parisons are ofttimes odious, 'tis true,
but not to the newspaper which gives
value received for the money invested.
Such papers gladly court comparison.
The, three-hundred edition newspaper
can be of but little benefit to the ad-

KILLED BY CARS.

John Peterson, In Alighting From Nov
ing Train, is Crushed Under Wheels.
John E. Peterson was fatally injured
in Milaca at noon on Saturday by be-
ing crushed between the depot platform
and a passenger car.
Mr.. Peterson had entered the car to
bid farewell to friend who was leav-
ing Milaca when the train suddenly
started and he (Peterson) FASTENED to
alight. In SO doing he stepped off
backwards with one foot, and directly
this foot struck the ground he slipped
and fell between the platform and the
cars. The cars struck him; whirled
him around and precipitated both of
his legs underneath the wheels, by
which they were crushed to a pulp. He
also sustained severe cuts and bruises
upon the head and body and lived
but few minutes after being carried
into the waiting room.
Mr.. Peterson was a farmer and re-
sided a mile and half north of Mil
aca. He was about 40 years of age.
A widow and six children survive him,
some of the children having attained
the age of manhood. The widow is
prostrated with grief over the occur
renee and is seriously ill.,. The family
is in poor circumstances.

IMPORTANT DECISION
Judge Baxter Rules That Private Indi-
vidual Cannot Interfere in Con-
fiict Between Officials.
Writ of Mandamus to Compel Treas.
urer to Place Funds in Certain
Depository is Quashed.

A ruling of more than ordinary i'm
portance has recently been handed
down by Judge Baxter of this judicial
district.
The suit is entitled State of Mime
sofa, by r. L. Cramb, relator, plant
if, VS.. E. E. Price, as treasurer of
village of Milaca, defendant, and con-
stitutes proceedings to enforce Price
to deposit the village funds, amount
ing to about $1,000 in the Farmers
State bank of Milaca in compliance
with resolution passed by the village
council designating that bank as de-
pository for such funds.
Rolleff Waller was counsel for re-
latOr, Cramb, and Foster & Burns for
respondent, Price. ..-
p On Mr.. Prices refusal to deposit
said funds in the Farmers State bank
plaintiff petitioned for an alternative
writ of mandamus, which was issued
at the last term of the district court
pursuant to the order of Judge Qvale.
= Ihe matter came up before Judge
Baxter in chambers at Fergus Falls
on November 13, and upon motion of
respondent the writ of mandamus was
quashed and set aside, the grounds
being:
First-That no such beneficial in
terest in the relator is pleaded or
shown as is required in this case.
Second-That relator fails to plead
that he has no adequate remedy at
law.
Third-That relator fails to show
that injury will result if writ is not
granted; hence the writ, if granted,
would he of no avail.
Fourth That the resolution passed
by the village council of Milaca is in
sufficient under the present Minnesota
statutes.
