AN RRUDENT DEMAND.

There has seldom been a holder
or more fragrant demand upon the
legislature for the grant of special
privileges than the effort to put
thru some bill that will give to So
cial clubs THE RIGHT TO SELL
LIQUOR WITHOUT A LICENSE.
This is what these bodies have done
for years. They fought the demand
to collect from them what the poor
man has to pay, thru all the courts
up to the tribunal of last resort.
Beaten there, they now come to the
legislature for a statutory exemp-
tion.
We are surprised and ashamed to
read the names of prominent citi-
zens among those who are lobbying
to bring such action about. These
men ought to know better. They
ought to know, and if they will stop
to think they do know. that what
they are asking is exactly the thing
that has brought upon the country
and will bring it to ruin if not
checked. They want one law for
the rich and another for the poor.
They want privileged class created
by law. They want those who are
best able to bear the burden of tax
alton freed from it by special leg
islative license. It is a shameful
demand, and the legislature will
hear from the rest of the state if it
should be granted.
What social club does in the
matter of selling liquor is strictly
its own affair. Some of these high
toned men object to having their
clubs called saloons. Well, why not
prohibit the serving of intoxicants
there? Nothing forbids that. A
social club can do as it pleases, and
is under no outside necessity of sup.
porting bar or buffet. If it does
so, whether for the making of 9
profit or for supplying the demands
of its members, it is doing exactly
what the saloon does. It is vending
intoxicants. ard it should have ex'
actly the same treatment as Other
vendors. Bad as it was to have
these clubs claim exemption unde,
the general statute. it was not hall
so bad in these days when almost
anything may be defended by some
legal technicality as it is to ask di
rect action on their behalf. VIII,
do they deserve it? If they do MOI
wish to serve liquors, let them quit
If they do wish to serve them,
let them be treated exactly as other!
who do it. 1t is a shame to Mime
sofa that the demand for a privileged
class to be created by law comes
from the rich and the intelligent

Preston Times: There were many
protests of unfairness in thus shut
ting off debate but the opponents of
the bill concurred in the remarks of
Mr.. Wells that the members of the
House fully understood the bill and
had long since made up their minds
how to vote, hence time would be
uselessly spent in discussion of
the measure. Mr.. Ware, in rising
to explain his vote, laid a charge of
unfairness at the door of the Re-
publican steering committee of the
House, which is supposed to be or
ganized for the purpose of guiding
party measures thru to safety. The
charge was vehemently denied by
the members of the committee, and
the fact that every Democrat in the
House, without exception, voted
with the opponents of the county
option, would bear out the charge
against the steering committee.
Be this as it may. no one will deny
the political Importance of the
county option question. It is free
" asserted that the activity of the
brewing interests to elect their
friends has been less offensive than
the persistent efforts of the local
option advocates to elect radical
men to the legislature, whose efforts
are always exerted for county op.
tion, initiative and referendum,
woman's suffrage, and other re-
form legislation, to the exclusion
of matters of larger need and i'm
portance to the state. It is claimed
that good men who faithfully rep
resented their constituents, even to
supporting county option legisla-
tion, have been defeated with the
assistance of the Prohibitionists be-
cause they refused to support every
form of radical legislation proposed
by that party. This is the line of
talk INDUCED in by members who
were forced to fight for their seats
last summer. Naturally those who
won out on the issue were glad to
get crack at their enemies last
Thursday by supporting the motion
which prevented what they term "a
talk to the gallery" On the other
hand, the county option crowd is
undaunted. They say they are used
to defeat but will continue to carry
the fight into the enemy's. country
with the same relentless vigor
which has characterized past cam
paigns.

DANGER in DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are too Dan
erous for Willmar People
10 Neqlect.

The great danger of kidney
troubles is that they get firm
hold before the sufferer recognizes
them. Heath is gradually under
mined. Backache, headache, ner-
vousness. lameness. soreness, lum-
bago, urinary troubles, dropsy, dia-
betes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succession. Don't neg
lect your kidneys. Cure the kid
neys with the certain and safe rem
edy, Doan's Kidney Pills, which
has cured people right here in this
locality.
Mrs. Mary Olson, Swift Ave-,
Litchfeld. Mimi, says: 1T gives
me great pleasure to tell others of
the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills.
For four years l suffered from
kidney complaint. A dull, grind
ing pain across my kidneys was with
me constantly and any STOPPING ag-
gravated the trouble. The kidney
secretions were so irregular as to
cause me great deal of annoyance.
l became tired and worn out easily
and was so weak at times | could
hardly move. l finally began using
Doan's Kidney Pills and received
the greatest relief. -

Granite Falls Tribune: The
House killed the county option bill
by majority of twenty mine votes
without debate last Thursday and
the friends of that measure must

lief from the plague as they be-

argument, for the vote was we'll

Cokato Enterprise: The county
option bill came up for considera-
tion in the legislature last week.
A motion was made for the previ-
Gus question to apply the gag rule
and thus refuse the free discussion
of it's good and bad points.
Republican Press: Without a
word or a funeral note county op-
tion was consigned to its legislative
grave in the House last week. Bv
a vote of 70 to ~ the report killing
it went thru. Of the temperance
committee ten were against the bill
and five in favor of it. Compared
with two years ago We must give
the House committee credit for at
least doing the manly thing and re-
porting the bill out even if unfa-
vorable by the majority thereof.

tion Of the lower house of the legis.
lature in applying the gag rule. in
denying the right of free speech,
on the local option bill is indefens-

condemned by every believer in
free discussion and fair play. The
injustice and indignity Of it is the
more fragrant when it is understood
that the opponents of local option
had no excuse for it-they were
largely in the majority and thus
had votes and to spare to defeat
the bill. And yet they ruthlessly

An Open Shop View.

An Open Shop View.
Let us suppose for a moment
that we carry out this system to
its logical conclusion. Suppose
that at every shop is an open shop,
with the lowest standard of wages
and the worst possible conditions
what advantage has the employer
gainedI
When it is no longer possible to
reduce wages, and in this respect
we all are on common level
when profits, have been cut to the
vanishing point, business is bound
to suffer. The workers who do
not receive living wage will be
chants who will have to do bust
ness on Il low wage standard.
The prosperity of the merchant
and the community depends upon
the standard of wages paid. The
men who only earns 81 "a day is
only onc-third as valuable to the
community as the man who earns
S3 a day. The merchant knows
by experience that So mechanics
are infinitely better spenders than
the dollar laborer.
Well paid workmcn arc the real
backbone of Il community, and it is
the amount of money in circu-
lation paid out as wages that
gauges the prosperity of Il town or
city. Thus we see that the tactics
of the dishonest and unfair en-
ploycr not only works to the detri-
ment of the wage-earnar, but
disarranges business conditions
and helps to bring on and per
petuate hard times
If employers would get together,
meet the representatives of the
unions and agree to pay natural
y satisfactory rate of wages in
stead of trying to cut one
another'S throat. there would be no
need to try and gain a dishonest
advantage by reducing wages.
The living wag" is the basis of
the prosperity. 1t is the unfair
and inscriptions employer who
causes trouble, and in ninety nine
cases out of a hundred is directly
responsible for strikes.

''Many of these explosions and

with.

the mining laws have been ignored

In order that VIC may be able to
cooperate with the Mining De

proper test, I would recommend
that whenever it can be shown
that the mining laws are not COM

Deputy Mine Inspector of the
District which he has charge, and
also toward Il copy of the notifi-

In rendering an opinion dis.
senting from the decision of the
court of appeals of the District of
Columbia in the Bucks Stove case,
Chief Justice Shepard, among
other things said:-
''The liberty of the press be.
came an established principle of
the British Constitution after a
long and arduous struggle, and
consists in complete freedom from
any Kind of restraint. The from
ers of our state and federal CON
Shtutions were compelled to choose
between the danger to free institu-
tlonS that would result from auy
Arrangement of the freedom of the
press and the eyils that attend the
abuse of that freedom through the
frequent publication of matter
calculated to wound feelings, in
Jure character and rights of
property and provoke the dis.
turbance Of the peace. They pre-
ferred to risk the latter evil.
Zone person may not only cease
to labor for another without liza
blllty to action, but may also cease
or decline to further purchase his
goods or to have any business
relations with him. This being
lawful for any person to do, does
not become unlawful when two or
more persons, impelIed by like
motives, agree to do the same
thing. Consequently, the persons
composing the organization of the
Federation of Labor had a legal
right to agree together not to pur-,
chase the goods Of the, stove
company. Refusing to purchase
these goods does not constitute
boycott in the legal sense.
p "Courts of equity cannot act as
censors of the press or abridge it's
freedom by the exercise of apy
character of restraint. The ONLY
remedy for libelous or otherwise
malicious. wrongful and iniurious
publications is by civil action for
damages and criminal prosecutions.
There is no power to restrain the
publication.
cit would be difficult to con-
celve of more effective method of
establishing a Government censor
ship than through the writ of in.
Junction.
In conclusion the chief Justice
said that the only remedy which
the stove company had i'm the
premlsas was by civil action for
damages and criminal prosecution.
