A Legislative Letter.

St. Paul, March 13, 1909.-The
friends of temperance will have a
hearing in the house on at least one
Of the many bills they have pro-
posed. This is the measure pre-
sented by Mr.. Adams, whose sole
purpose is to extend the operation
of the local option laws to all towns
having less than 10000 population.
The temperance committee reported
it out with the recommendation
that it be indefinitely postponed,
and later Mr.. Mckenzie, the chair
man, and Mr.. King, a member of
the committee, urged that it be
given no further consideration.
The house, however, having gagged
the temperance people once, con-
cluded it best not to do it again,
and so the bill was advanced to
general orders, and one of these
days will get its quietus after a full
discussion.
The Alderman bill, or White bill
it was introduced by Senator Al
derman in the upper, chamber and
Mr.. White in the house-is now on
the calendar without any amend
ment except one to make it's mean
ing clear. This is the bill limiting
saloons to one to each 500 of
the population. There was con-
siderable opposition to it on the
ground that it did not go far enough
and that saloons ought to be limited
to one to each 500 population in all
cases. An attempt was made to
amend the bill in committee in sew
eral particulars, but all motions for
that purpose were voted down.
The bill provides really for one sa.
loon in each 500 of population or
fraction thereof, and it was sought
to make this read "major Fraction
so that there would have to be at
least Isl people in a village before
it could have a Second saloon, but
the house wouldn't stand for it. II
will without doubt become law ir
its present form.
There will be no primary legisla'
tion at this session, except that pos
sibly some minor amendments may
be made to the present primary
law. The matter was threshed out
in the senate last Thursday, wher
Senator Moonan's bill to extend tht
primary law to State officers, ane
Senator Canfield's bill to repeal thu
primary law and provide in it
stead the convention system, will
delegates elected at the primaries
under proper safeguards, were un
der consideration. But the hous'
would neither extend the primar!
law to State officers nor repeal it
The fact is that while the primar!
law is not popular with representa-
tives. they do not as a general thing
care to take the responsibility o
appearing to take from the peopl'
that direct voice in the nomination
of candidates they now exercise
.The people won't stand for it,
have heard men say a score o
times if once. So Canfeld's bill

Willmar tribune., 1909-03-17
The house the same afternoon was
a regular shambles. All kinds of

Inc mouse the same afternoon was
a regular shambles. All kinds of
bills were remorselessly slaugh-
tered. The house started in on
drainage bills. The first Of these
to be killed was the Spooner bill
providing that the State drainage
commission may clean out and i'm
prove streams not under Federal
jurisdiction. Mr.. Spooner did not
press the bill, but insisted that the
State should not commit itself to
the policy of improving waters un-
der federal jurisdiction. MIR. Wells
opposed even the Spooner bill as
going too far, and thought the pre-
sent law which only requires the
State to improve streams when the
counties will pay half the cost bet
ter. G. A. Mckenzie had bill ap-
propriating SIS, 900 for drainage in
Sibley county. It got the ak. So
did Spooner's bill appropriating
$50, 900 for improving the Chippewa
river in Pope and Swift counties.
Having thus whetted it's appetite,
the house attacked the Kneeland
bill providing for constitutional
convention. To pass it required
80 votes. It got only 62, altho it is
admitted that the State needs new
constitution to take the place of
the present patchwork one. The
house neither was in the mood to
accept a new constitution or any
kind Of one, so it killed the J. N.
johnson woman suffrage amend
ment. 1t didn't want to know
either whether women wanted to
vote, so it put to sleep Mr.. Wares
peculiar measure under which
women were to be given the privil-
ege of saying whether they wanted
the franchise or not. The house
snuffed the life out of Mr.. Brady s
bill to repeal the anti-pass law, and
it came near killing the bill to re-
move the eleven o'clock lid from
the saloons of the three big cities.
The members voted it down at all
events in the committee of the
whole by 48 to IS, which was as far
as they could 60 at that time. La
ter they are liable to change their
minds. In itself, however, this
was considered quite an afternoon's s
work.
Il There may be something doing
yet on the anti-cigarette bill which
passed the house under suspension
: of the rules. It is made to look as
J if the senate committee on public
health and pure food, to which il
; has been referred, would give j,
!. favorable recommendation, and
, word has been sent out that tobac-
; co manufacturers and dealers will,
if they wish, be given a hearing

TAKE NO STOCK
IN CHALLENGE

New York, Oct, members OF the
New York Yacht club. discussing to-
night the reports OF another threaten
ed challenge for the Americas cup by
Sir Thomas Upton under the so-called
universal rule, made 1t clear that there
has been no change of sentiment In
the club since a similar proposition
Of the Irish baronet was rejected two
years ago, and that the club still holds
that the famous trophy stands for
maximum speed on the required water
line length.
II was pointed out that gossip re.
garding challenges for the Americas S
cup, especially by friends Of Sir Thom-
as. arc perennial at this season Of the
year as under the rules challenges
must be made before November /, In
order 10 comply with the ten months
rule allowed TO build defender,
The Interview today quoting Sir
Thomas, therefore, was not unexpect-
ed, Very few members take the mat
ter seriously. although It Is fact
that there are many who feel that rae
Ing for the cup should be under more
reasonable and sensible conditions.

COOK ANSWERS
WOULD-BE CRITIC

Boston. Oct l-JDr. Cook delivered
his lecture tonight before a repro
sentative audience. He replied to
recent and pertinent query of George
Kennan in magazine article In which
the writer assorted that DR.. Cook
could not take sufficient food supply
on two sledges to last eighty.two days.
Mr.. KEENAN," said DR.. Cook,
started out with the Idea that we
used pressed OK meat for food for
dog and man. II we had, his criticism
would have been just. for We could not
have lived on less than five thousand
pounds of such meal, which IL would
have been impossible to carry On two
sledges, But we did not have musk
OK food. We had pemmican and we
used ono pound per man, per dog, per
day, One pound of pemmlcan Is equal
to five pounds Of froeh meat, go you
will see that Mr.. Kennan's figures
were all right when properly applied"
DR., Cook included Peary's name in
his list of intrepid explorers who had
preceded him TO the Far North, The
pictures Of the two Eskimos who ac-
companied Cook to the Pole brought
out applause.
In closing his lecture. DR.. Cook
said Il promise TO bring them back
10 American shores next year at my
own expense when they will tell you
honestly and frankly OF their adven-
lures In the Far North"
