A Novel Proposition.

A candidate for Mayor of Mont
clair, N. J., comes forward with a
novel proposition on the liquor
question, and it is not a bad one
either, though its constitutionality
may be disputed. He advocates
licensing drinkers as we'll as saloons.
His plan is that no man be sold a
drink in a saloon unless he wear a
tag, which shows he is duly licens-
ed.
"If a man abuses his license
privilege, punish him as you would
the saloonkeeper who breaks the
law" says he.
lust what is meant by an "abuse
of his license privilege" is not
stated.

Concerning the charge that the
"Israelites" wore wigs, the Dan
vile NezOS says:
"The Israelites while in Danville
openly alluded to the charge some
times made that the long flowing
hair that graced their heads was
false. To disprove the aspersion
the men challenged any person who
might have doubts to come forwald d
and examine for himself. The
Israelites in Danville were generally
accounted sincere"
If the hair is not false, the lisa
elites" can very easily disprove the
charge.

Executive Committee, Completed,
Gets to Work and Prepares for
Some Fine Races

meeting of the business men last

fair of the Stearns county Agricul
tural Society, do not propose to lei
the grass grow under their feet.
At the meeting referred to, the
chairman and secretary were author.
lied to fill out the committee and
to appoint other committees as ap-
peared to them necessary. On Mon
day Mayor Minette appointed, to
serve with himself and Mr.. Austin
on this committee, w. F. Keller, J.
M. Wilson and George Fish.
This committee, practically the
same that handled the Fourth of July
celebration, met Monday evening and
got busy at once relative to the
fair.
v. L. Burgess was appointed to
look after displays of produce, C.. M.
Bryant to work up a poultry exhibit,
and o. S. Cass to have charge of
live stock. Each of these gentlemen
is chairman of his own committee and
is authorized to name other members
of his committee who will cooperate
with him. This plan was followed
last year with great success.
The question of securing good horse
races was discussed at length, and
it was agreed that the best way was
to form a circuit with some other
towns. Correspondence has already
been carried On between Sauk Centre,
Morris and Glenwood relative to a
of this kind. Mr.. Keller was
instructed to write to Park Rapids
and Bemidji, asking them to come
into a circuit with the three towns
above named. If circuit with these
five towns can be formed high class
races can easily be secured.
