Morris tribune., 1907-11-23

~o'clock to ~ o'clock The breweres and whole
sale liquor men have gotten together and will
raise big campaign fund.
Congressman Volstead will this winter
push his bill for the regulation of the stock is
sues of common carriers. Had such a bill been
a law twenty-five years ago, it would have pre-
vented the present water-logged condition OF
all railroad stocks, as we'll as the stock juggl-
ing which has been the disgrace of high fin
ance the past few years. The bill aims at the
same evils as did the Rockne bill which was
defeated by the last legislature.

Detroit Recerd-It is commented by
the Halock News, as peculiar tact that to-
tai stranger can come into community and
sell it's members typewriters, life insurance,
steel ranges and phonographs while the local
dealers in the same goods had failed to sell the
same persons after repeated attempts. The
News says that stranger to the people of
Hallock has sold pianos in the past two
or three weeks than all it's local dealers have
sold in as many years.

The fact that former Congressman Eddy
has quit drinking and gone on the platform as
a Temperance lecturer, compiled with the fact
that there is at present active anti-saloon
element in this state, has led to considerable
gossip as to what may happen if Eddy decides
to re-enter politics again. Eddy would be
power if now that he is no longer afflicted with
the drink habit he should decide to be a can
didate for governor, but it is supposed that he
, cut out politics at the same time as he cut out
booze.

IF the financial stringency is the result of
over-speculaton, then how is elastic cur
= rency or any other system that the financial
doctors may prescribe going to the situa-
ton so it will stay cured? It's like taking med
icine for the of bodily sickness. The
medicine will cure but if stay we'll we
must remove the cause trouble. A
more elastic currency might relieve the situa-
tion at present. but if it only puts off the day of
reckoning then we had better fight it out right
now, while we have our hands in.-Paynesville
Press.

AS bread is the staff of the physical life of
civilized people, white paper is the staff of their
intellectual life. It is at once necessity and
luxury. Upon it's price to the consumer de-
pends, to large extent, the mental develop
ment of the plain people. Any trust COM
bination that seeks to put artificial prices upon
news print paper strikes not only at the press
of America, an institution that has played no
small part in the advancing enlightenment in
I. this country and which is reaching year by
year and day by day larger usefulness, but
also at every man, and child who reads.
