The western senators won out in the
fight for free alcohol over the STANDARD
Oil crowd as led by. Senator Aldrich.
The vote against the Aldrich amend
ment was almost unanimous, and the
eastern papers announce that the power
in the senate is broken. Senator Hans
brongh led in the fight against the
amendment, and received congratula-
tory letter from President Roosevelt on
his good work, and also the pen with
which the president signed the bill.
Senator Hanshrough proposes to give
the letter and the pen to the state his
torical society. The free alcohol law is
now just what Congressman Marshall
started out for four years ago, and it is
just what the farmers of the west want.
If the distillation of alcohol for mechan-
ical purposes cannot now be made a
success it will be no fault of the nation.
al government. If it will result in cheap.
ening gasolene, kerosene, etc., it will
have served an excellent purpose

With thirty years ,of acquaintance
and dealing with that grand old man w.
C. Andrew, who sold paper for Wright
Barrett & Shlwell of st. Paul we were
shocked and grieved indeed to learn oi
his sudden and tragic death by railroad
accident near Grand Forks on Friday
last. Genial, reliable, intelligent, he
was the sort of man everyone is glad to
meet and who is welcome to the home.
No more will he come in his hearty,
CHEEKY manner and swap news and kind
ly chat. We shall miss him in both a
business and social way. He was due here
on the very day on which we write, but
we shall look for him in vain.

PROHIBITION LEGISLATION.

Considerable legislation going to
strengthen prohibition was passed
at the last session of the legislature and
will be Of considerable interest. First
there is to bea state temperance COM
missioner whose business it will be } to
enforce the prohibition law, This offic-
er is probably expected to look after
those western, counties where officials
and perhaps public sentiment are
against the enforcement. In some cas-
es, however this may work the other way
as the local officials will be inclined to
shirk their duties and leave the disagree :
able work of.information and prosecu-
tion to the state officer.
Besides the above, there is law that
makes it thetduty of all persons holding
government licenses to publish that fact
in the officialnewspapers forthree weeks.
Another law makes the owner of build
ing rented for the purpose of selling
Eliquor subjectto the same penalties as
the seller. Another law defines intoxi-
eating liquor so that it includes almost
Ianything sold for drink. Again a new
statute forbids travelling statesmen soil
citing orders for the sale of liquor. Any
body who believes that liquor is sold on
any certain premises can swear out a
search warrant lis the power given by
still another statute.
Some of these laws will doubtless be
fought on constitutional grounds, or
because they interfere with Interstate
commerce, but altogether they make it
rather hard shedding for the pigs.

FREE ALCOHOL BILL

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald gives this picture OF
the passage of the Free Alcohol bill in
the Senate:
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
the Republican leader of the Senate, to
day fought the Free Alcohol bill and
was defeated. Senator Hansbrough
was the man who led forty.seyen Re-
publicans and Democrats and over
whelmed opposition to the measure.
The yictors claim not only that Sena-
tor Aldrich was vanquished, but that a
plan for acquisition Of all the distilling
interests in the United States by the
financial interests generally represented
by the Standard Oil Company has been
broken up. II amended as desired by
Senator Aldrich, it is said that the new
distillery trust would have been relieved
of competition by farmers

A brief but spirited election was ter
minated in Manitoba last Thursday, re-
sulting in the Conservative government
being sustained, by membership of q
to Ii, with two CONSTITUENCIES to hear
from. There were several new issues
out, the principal of which was
the extension of the provincial boundar-
les. The "wheat combine" and "beef
combine" and other combinations the
province is infested with, and for which
the party iii power is largely held RESPONSE
BILE were issues forced by the opposi-
ton, and it looked at one time as if the
Robin government was doomed to de-
feat. In the Emerson district DR.. Nc
Fadden was defeated by SO votes, and
Mr.. Walton, liberal elected, after con-
servative representation for 16 years. In
the Morris district, Attorney General
Campbell Won out by majority of two
on the face of the returns but a con
test has been instituted and Maloy is
claimed to be entitled to the seat by a
just account. The Liberals gained sew.
eral seats over previous elections.

THE CLOSING HOURS

The tenth legislative assembly of the
state of,North Dakota adjourned sine
die last night. Senator LaMoure made
the motion to adjourn the senate sine
die. Previously to the motion to ad-
journ, Senator Sharpe presented .reso-
luton that it was the sense ofsthe senate
thatSenator.L Moure make the motion
to adjourn. When the Pembina senator
arose to make the nation there was a
distinct .tremor in his voice, and he
.dwelt with feeling tqpon the .associa-
,tions created by the ,Agislatureand the
,regret that he felt in making the motion
ito adjourn. He. said he had endeavor-
ed in every way to conserve theinterests
of the state and If he had failed in any
way itwas the fault of the head and not
the heart. There was generous cheer
at the close of the remarks of the Penn
bins senator.
Earlier in the session president
Lewis was presented with hand
some picture of the senate group by
Senator LaMoure and appropriate re-
marks were made both by Senators Pur-
cell and LaMoure. The senate passed
the usual resolutions of thanks to the
various members of the clerical force.
Secretary Foley was presented with a
picture of the senate group by the men,
bers of the clerical force. Senator La
Monre received similar picture. Sen
ator Regan was s'presented with the gayel
and Senator Young was elected presi-
dent pro tem. The senate called on the
house in body. and the house returned
the compliment. It was the liveliest
adjournment that has been seen in
many year.-G Grand Forks Herald.

The Great Northern Railway has paid
in taxes in this county this year the
sum Of $40, and the Northern Pa
cific $1,000. In toilette township the
N. P. pays nearly one-third of the total
tax levy, while Carlisle with practically
the same levy with q railway on each
side Of it but not in it, gets nothing, ex-
cept the share it may receive from the
county and state tax paid by the roads.
Some school districts get almost enaugh
out Of the railroads and the state ap-
portionment to run school without spec
ial tax for the same reason. This never
seemed to us to be the fair thing, The
roads are really public matters to all
and all should share the benefits alike.

that Pres. Merrifeld of the Grand Forks
University has resigned. Pres. Merri.
field has been at the head of that insti-
tuition for twenty-three years and he will
be a great loss to the educational forces
of the state. 1t is understood that the
reason is, that the legislature did not
treat the University with sufficient lib:

THE APPoRTloNMENT

UP to the last show down, in the new
of senators and represen-
tatives for the next legislature, all the
showed that districts nos one
and two were each to lose one represen-
tative. But in the last days of the ses-
sion this was further shortened in COM
mittee to one representative for this
district and two for thessecond district.
This made fight among the Pembina
county members and after considerable
disagreement was finally settled by Civ
ing the first district the odd member.
However, we presume the difference will
be made up in the next Legislature by
the superior ability of the representative
from the other district. Those fellows
over there are pretty smart, you know.
But it will make the legislative primary
over there warm number Just the same
with only one representative in place
of three. Before, the three could be
parcelled out to the different localities
pretty we'll, so there was not much local
jealousy, but one WON'T be enough to go
around and satisfy the ambitions of the
several rival towns.
OF course it is rather rough for either
of the districts to have to take this back
ward step, but We think as matter of
fact that in a perfect apportionment
the western part of the state has more
coming yet.

Landlord Patterson, the big hotel
man and political boss of Bismarck, is
under arrest for blind pigging. The
complaint was sworn out by some din
ing room girls, who have since left
town, but the authorities claim that they
have plenty of evidence anyway. Mr.
Patterson nee made statement to a
gentleman from this county, "That a
jury of twelve men could not be found
in Burleigh county who wonld agree to
convict him of selling liquor" Things
have changed somewhat since, even in
Bismarck, but Mr.. Patterson's state
ment is perhaps still true.

While the legislature after reversing
themselves, finally passed two and
half rate passenger rate with a 1000
mile book at two cents, yet this law is
of vastly less Importance to the general
public than the reciprocal demurrage
law, which will make the roads either
furnish cars and keep them going to
destination, or pay damages. The law
which punches the railroad commission
ers up to additional duties may also be
worth something to the shippers.
