LUTHER PLAYING GREAT BALL.
Plays Minnesota University 1 to 1
i'm Eleven Inning Game and
Shuts Out Carleton
10 to o.

The Luther College base ball team
has been giving a good account of
itself since the boys left home on
Saturday noon. They went to Min
neapolls, where on Monday after
noon they played with the Universi-
ty of Minnesota. The game lasted
for eleven innings with the score l
to l. and then it was called on &C
count of darkness. The boys say
that they were unfairly treated by
the umpire or they would have won
easily. At all events it is an honor
to hold the state university down to
a tie.
Yesterday afternoon the boys play
ed Carleton College at Mortified,
Mimi, shutting them out with an
awful slaughter, and winning 13 to
0. Having shut out Nebraska and
Carleton and tied Minnesota, they
have already proven their right to
be classed among the big college
teams.

Diving Fishermen.

The other day Will Wells and AL
bert Honsey were out fishing near
the Ice cave, and having poor luck
on the bank, decided to go out in
the center and dive for them. They
had the service of boat, and when
in the middle of the river the boat
sunk, and their diving operations
became a reality, so much so that
they had to swim for their lives.
They now bear the reputation of
being the star fish divers of the
county. Billy" was waited down
with a heavy hunters suit and an
expensive fishing rod, but he showed
his skill as swimmer and brought
himself and paraphernalia safe to
shore. The fish they were after are
still swimming.

study the question of revenues and
taxation; revision of the school laws;
relieving of burden placed upon state
auditors Office by new legislation;
abolishment of fee system in state
Offices; more strict enforcement of

The country becomes more

The country becomes more and
more weary of the hullabaloo at
Washington. However. it would be
easy to over estimate the significance
OF the censure Of the president by
Congress. The kind of a president
who Is popular in Congress Is the
kind who good humoredly signs all
the public building and private pen
sion and river and harbor bills so
that the Congressman can freely dis
tribute pork among their constitu-
ents. When man comes along who
forces them to face vital questions,
questions loaded with dynamite
compelling them to align themselves
and make enemies, that kind of a
president gets Congress on his neck.

1t is proposed that the legislature
pass law raising the mulct tax. We
have always believed that in cities
where saloons are permitted to oper-
ate the number should be less and
the mulct tax higher. If they are
permitted at all, let them run strict
ly in accordance with law, and limit
the number so that they can afford
to refuse the most undesirable pa
irons and still pay the tax. Another
thing, the tax should all go to the
county, and not part of it to the state
as at present. Why should the coun-
ties in which saloons are operated
contribute to counties in which they
are not? That is what it amounts to
when the state gets part of the tax.
