Representative Knut Knutson. of
the seth Minnesota senatorial dis
trict, comprising the counties of
Swift and Big Stone, was in Linton
yesterday on business. The editor
had an opportunity to compare notes
with Mr.. Knutson as to prohibition
matters in the two states. The lat
ter was one of the minority that adj
vocated county option from prohi-
bition standpoint in the Minnesota
legislature. The writer found from
the gentleman's statements that the
prohibitionists in that state are ad-
vocating county option on Identical
ly the same grounds that the resub-
missionists in North Dakota advance:
that the state unit is entirely too
large. with its varied population, to
allow of uniform. statewide law
working as smoothly in one part as
it does in another. What we call
'resubmission" in this state is not
general license by any means. but the
adoption of q system by which each
county may regulate or taboo the
traffic in intoxicating liquors. accord
ing to the scheme which may seem
best to its citizens. And this ia

prohibitionists in Minnesota are ask

WATCHING ACTION
VERY CLOSELY
Hammond People Looking
After Fate of Metro
politan Police Bill.

The people of Hammond are still
closely watching the action of the In
diana Legislature in the matter of teh
passage of Representative Faulknors s
bill to repeal the Metropolitan police
law
The fact that the house passed the
bill by vote of rs to Is is not taken
as an indication of the real strength
Of the opposition. Men like Wickey and
Kliver voted for the repeal of this, a
democratic measure, to keep their
promise with the democrats in TIA
house voted for the Gary court bill
It Is believed locally that the bill to
repeal the law Will pass the senate,
but they may be mistaken in this. The
matter is moving slowly however, and
1t will likely be some time before the
senate acts.
There is no more speculation on the
matter among the people of Hammond
as they have gone about as far along
this line as they care until the gov
ernor acts. OF course, the reorganiza-
tion of the police department is cer-
tain whether the bill is repealed or not
and the appointment of a chief of po-
plice will be the biggest plum in the
gift of Mayor Becker, the local demo-
cratic chieftain,

HAMMOND DOWNS
RENSSELAER, BOYS
Local Basket Ball Team
Wins Close Game From
the Jasperites.

The Hammond high school basket
bail team won the first game of its
down state trip last evening when it
met and defeated the fast team of the
Rensselaer, high school.
The game was fast and furious, how
ever. and Hammond only nosed out a
victory by a single point. The score
was "a to % in Hammond's favor. The
first half was more decisively a Ham
mond victory as the score at the end
of it was IS to 13 in favor of Ham
mond.
It is believed that the Hammond boys
put in some of the substitutes at the
end of the first half in order to save
the team for the more grueling games
that will be played at Lebanon and
Charlottesville.
The Hammond boys left Rensselaer,
in fine spirits this morning as a result
of the victory and if the condition of
the players who have been suffering
from injuries improves the Hammond
team may be able to make good
showing against the Charlottesville
five. which is believed to be the fastest
in the state.
The Hammond boys are all looking
forward to a fine time at Crawfords-
Vile. where they will be the guests OF
Wabash college over Saturday and Sun
day They will return to Hammond
Monday after a most pleasant trip.

The accident was caused by the

Hammond market, presents a report on
the conditions which is authoritative
and valuable as guide for the milk
buyer. 1t shows that there is excel
lent milk and cream on the Hammond
market and also that some of it is alb
solutely dirty and filthy. Some of the
milk was graded as low" In some
instances this low" grade was brought
about because the milk was found to
be fraction of a tenth per cent below
grade. but this is not black mark
against the dealer, since the milk may
have been "off" grade at the particu-
lar time of the test The tests were
made on the wagons or at the dairies.
