built between La Crosse and Madison
by the Milwaukee Independent COM
pany for the purpose of seeking pat
ronage in the Twin Cities.

Cloud, MINI. Lumberman.

has spent the winter in southern Cali
fornia at Ocean Park. witnessed the
drowning of G. C. Mcclure, the st.
Cloud millionaire lumberman. The un-
fortunate man was bathing in the surf
during a severe storm and swan out
too far from shore. The huge waves
that were pounding on the beach ut
the time enveloped him and he was
tossed about and drowned. Five min
utes after his first shout for help, he
was thrown on the top Of wave,
nearly one hundred feet up on the
shore and almost at the feet of the
Grand Forks lady who was seated on
a porch in company with the wife and
daughter of the victim, mute witnesses
to the awful tradegy.
The struggles of the drowning man,
were watched by quite crowd of
bathers, and when the body was tossed
up on the shore, everything within
human bounds, was done in the fran
tic efforts to bring back the vital
heart beats. The efforts were fruit
less however.

THE TEMPERANCE BATTLE.


are confronted with one of the most
serious conditions in the entire his
tory of temperance legislation. When
the present prohibition provision was
written in the state constitution, a
long step was taken in the direction
of complete control of the liquor traf-
fic and incidentally the control of the
drink evil. That much experimenting
was necessary in order to determine
the best and most perfect manner of
carrying that provision into effect,
has been recognized by the most de-
vout friends of the temperance cause.
1t is a regrettable fact that the
enforcement of the law has not met
the expectations of those who looked
for large things. We believe in the
strict enforcement of that as we'll as
every other law on the statute books.
But it is useless even for those who
are most ardently in favor of prohibi-
ton to deny that conditions have
something at least to do with such
laws, so far as the enforcement is
concerned, and that these conditions
must be recognized and met.
Probably the greatest drawback to
the proper enforcement of the pro-
vision Of the constitution relating to
the sale Of intoxicating beverages,
and the former statutes which have
been created for its support, was the
ono which allowed what are common
~ known as spoilers to furnish the
courts with the evidence upon which
vioiators OF tho law could be con
victed and punished. This placed the
prosecutions in a sense in the hands
of class of witnesses who were in
many instances as disreputable and
as irresponsible as the criminals
themselves. The officers charged
with the enforcement of the law were
compelled to go into court relying on
the evidence-the oath-of men whom
even the most conscientious jurors
were compelled to accept with in
credulity. Officers were thus handi-
capped in the enforcement of the law,
and guilty persons often escaped.
These conditions were not always
true, but they were in many instan.
ces, and these instances caused
lack of respect for the law among
those who at heart were its strong
est supporters.
There can be no question but that
the legislation enacted by the last
legislature meets many of the weak
nesses which have heretofore existed
in the enforcement. Among these the
most far reaching is that which pro-
vided for the appointment of a tenn
perance commissioner and which gave
him abundant power to use his Office
for the purpose of bringing offenders
to justice. Another is that which pro-
vides that complaint may be filed
against violator of the law by any
creditable person and on his COM
plant search Of the premises may
be instituted with view of securing
evidence of the guilt of the criminal.
1t is needless to argue against this
provision because 1t is drastic, for
1t is merely an application of a law
nearly as old as English jurispru-

John Barrett's Speech.
John Barrett, formerly minister to
Colombia, spoke at the meeting at the
Hotel Astor this afternoon, when the
Commercial and Industrial Aspects of
the Peace Movement were considered.
Mr.. Barrett said that the bearing of
the international conferences of the
American republics upon the peace and
good relations of the countries of the
western hemisphere could not be over
estimated. The three conferences
which have been held during the last
fifteen years had been notable successes
and had accomplished far more than is
commonly supposed. 1T is, moreover,
safe to say" said he, that they have
acted as a lettering influence not only
on wars between American nations, but
on revolutions within the limits of diff
ferent countries
Mr.. Barrett said that the United
States had never fully appreciated the
vast Importance and signal success of
the visit to South America of Secretary
Root. 1T is beginning now" said
he, after nearly a year has passed, TO
realize that no other secretary of state
in the history of the United States has
done so much for the promotion of in
ternational peace and friendship as has
Mr. Root in this extraordinary tour. He
did more for the removal of edistrust of
the policies of the United States
throughout South America and for the
upbuilding of mutual confidence and
good will than the work of hundred
years of ordinary diplomatic procedure
and intercourse.
Mr. Barrett said that the benefit OF
Secretary Roots trip will grow with
the passage of years and result in that
perfect International American comfy
which should cherish the relations of all
the nations of the western hemis-
phere."
