A MISREPRESENTATION.

Hon. Fred G. Stevens who is sup
posed to represent the Fourth Mime
sofa district in Congress, is opposed
to Prohibition at the national capital.
He says, in a recent interview: "The
majority of the towns in my district
are dry, the cities and villages grant
licenses and in all of them-cities,
villages and townsville law is en-
forced and is satisfactory" We will
not properly characterize Mr.. Stevens
statement regarding the extent to
which the liquor laws are now en-
forced in his district and especially
in its chief city. If we should use
the proper word it would rhyme with
pie-which we suppose is what Mr.
Stevens is after
This is the precious gentleman who
after enjoying with his family the
blessings of residence in the Midway
District for come years, sneered al
and misrepresented it's prohibition
policy on the floor of the House oil

that the time is coming and coming
rapidly when those who hunger fOl
Congressional pie will not seek it a

A VERY DARK HORSE.

A rumor is afloat that DR.. J. A..
Gates of Kenyon, with county option
as his slogan, will seek the Republican
gubernatorial nomination.
The Doctors modesty would not
prevent so bold an ambition. But the
mention of his proposed platform is
calculated to broaden the visage of
one who remembers that he sat
through the legislative session of
1905 without opening his mouth for
such a measure and that even in the
campaign of 1906 he was driven to
it's advocacy only by the active can
didacy of Geo. H. Voxlund, the Pro-
hibition candidate for the same office,
and even then not until the closing
weeks of the campaign.
We wonder how long he would stay
hitched if there should be no Prohi
bition candidate in the field. The
same query is pertinent to not a few
other districts.

OUR KIND OF COUNTY OPTION.

Both Sides, a saloon organ, says
that a member of the Minnesota House
of Representatives last winter was
asked to vote for the county option
bill for the reason that the writer's
county would go wet If the question
were put and that his village, which
was dry at the time by local option
vote, would under the county vote De
forced to issue licenses. Both Sides
gives the man credit for sincerity but
declares him to have been in error
and says: That condition of affairs
would happen under the Michigan
law but not under the law proposed
last winter. If the county goes dry
then the town is dry and if the county
goes wet the towns still may vote on
the question. They get you going and
coming
Both Sides is correct This is the
way we expect to get the saloon and
this is the kind of a county option
law that Prohibitionists favor, one
that has it's handle on their side OF
the Jug We admit no right of the peo-
PIE to legalize the saloon by townships,
villages or cities. The evil wrought by
it is statewide and the legislature is
the states law-making body. But
since the saloon is legalized, we will
endeavor to give the people of each
county the right to protect their homes
and escape the burden of taxation
caused by the saloon until such time
as the entire liquor-traffic shall be
driven into the sea.

the Artman decision. While passing
no judgment on the correctness of the
decision in Indiana, he believed it
would not hold good in this state.
Legislative power is vested in the peo-
pie. The courts are merely to in
terpret the law according to its in
tention when enacted.
Virgil G. Hinshaw at this point spoke
briefly of college Prohibition work and
announced an oratorial contest at the
State University on the 10Th inst.
"The Prophets" was the topic assign
ed to Hon. E. E. Lobeck. While he
claimed that much of his thunder had
been stolen by previous speakers, our
orator made good. He showed the
superiority of moral questions to
merely economic issues. The saloon
must die because it threatened the
life of the home He told a number
of good stories and told them we'll,
as usual, and each had a good Prohibit
ton point.
DR.. w. J. Warren read a humorous
! poem on "The Politicians"
w. G.. Calderwood spoke for "The
Flag" The nations liquor bill equals
the value of the leading cereals, of
gold and silver the cost of the public
schools and of the army and navy, the
dividends of our railroads and ma
tiOnal banks and the interest on the
national debt. No other political party
ever presented financial question
of such Importance. The saloon kills
a man or woman every six minutes.
Yet the Prohibition party was not
brought into existence to stay this un-
speakable slaughter. The great i'm
parchment of the liquor traffic is that
it aims it's murderous thrusts at the
flag. Our children shudder when
they hear the name of Benedict Arnold
because he was a traitor This is
what the liquor traffic is and because
OF this 1T must die. The speaker gave
illustrations of the treachery of the
; liquor traffic to the rights of the peo-
pie beginning with Ohio where three
times in succession the people have
decided the saloon must die but where
it still flaunts it's treasonous flag. For
20 years the people Of Minnesota have
! begged the poor boon of protecting
their homes, their lives, liberty and
happiness, but the saloon has denied
that right. We will not yield and we
