COMMENT ON THE DEFEAT OF
COUNTY OPTION.

Minneapolis Journal: The Min
nesota House can hardly be COM
mended for gagging the minority
on the county option bill. In one
sense it seemed to the members
right not to take time to discuss a
measure that was doomed to defeat
anyway. Why not kill it suddenly,
as we'll as after useless debate?
Thus the majority reasoned.
If the legislature were always so
economic of the peoples time. more
credence might be given the theory
that this was why the house acted
SO summarily. But when their
fond constituents see the solons day
after day talking by the hour over
the appointment Of a janitor, or
