The NEW LOTTERY LAW

Business men of the northwest have
been warned to prepare for the new
lottery law passed by the sixtieth con-
gress and which goes into effect on
January l. 1910. The provisions of this
act are not generally known and are of
such a strict nature and carry 80 large

Of warning may be a benefit to
publishers and others who use the

The use of the mails to advertise what
is known as a gift enterprise or any
gambling chance or lottery scheme is
barred and the penalty for violation
carries with it a penitentiary sentence
aud a fine of not more than $1,000.

who have investigated the matter report
that never before was there so great a

Football Is Still Football.

Year after year the demand is voiced
for the abandonment Of the game Of
football in the schools and colleges.
The advocates of the sport have resist
cd the petition of fathers and mothers,
alleging that the game is necessary for
the proper development of American
youth. All attempts to secure n rad
ical modification of the rules and prac-
tees of play have beer unavailing.
Now and then some so called revisionS
of the rules are undertaken, but the
annual toll of death continues to be
exacted Notwithstanding.
The public opposition to the game of
football aroused by the numerous
deaths which occur on the gridiron
field is not directed against the sport
itself SO much as against the manner
in which it is played in this country.
Defenders of the sport declare that it
is conducive to the so called "yirility of
the American character and that the
training in it at u schools and col
legeS is next to necessity for the de
velopment of American youth along
national lines.
The truth is that certain players in
the United States have brutalized the
game out of its real nature and have
taken pride in the fact that it is rough
and dangerous. .~..

Portionless Boys and Dowried Girls

P%ortionless Boys and Dowried Girls.
There is something Of a Roman par
ent's austerity in President Taft's de-
sire to start his boys poor. If wealthy
fathers were to follow the example the
"three generations between shirtsleeves
and shirt sleeves" would be reduced to
one. son no longer beginning where
the father left off. The plan might be
expected to be generally beneficial to
society. A boy can have no greater
handicap to incentive and to real use
fulnesS than an inherited fortune.
There would be the additional advan-
tage that wealth diverted from inherit
ance would revert to society in the
shape Of public b~enefactions.
But the possibility of such conditions
is qualified by Mr.. Taft's statement
that. though the boys must take care of
themselves. he intends to "scrape to-
gether' all he can to give his daughter,
so that she need marry only when she
chooses to marry and not because of
circumstances. This is in effect an adj
vocacy Of dowries for daughters. In
that event the advantage may suggest
itself to disinherited young men of
acquiring a fortune by marriage rather
than by toll.

The $4,000 offer Tom Marshall made
for the appointment of U. S. senator did
not appeal to a real democrat. The
MARSHALL offer was made this way: If
Governor Burke would appoint Marshall
u. s. senator he would finance the
Fargo News, relieving the men who
have endorsed its paper and have stock
in it of about $4,000 of liabilities.
And that Plous Reformer, A. j. Gronna,
was to take a slice of the pie. Now
with a republican in the governors
chair a rotten deal of that sort might
have been pulled of-particularly if he
had been one of ALEXIS kind, or dsman

The farmers are now price-makers.
After years of advocacy of holding their
wheat this good advice Is now followed
to such an extent on Monday of last
week as an illustration, the worlds ship

ing Saturday as 17,336,000 against the
previous week of l2,S0O,O00 and 9,344. 900

the strong showing. Farmers can con
troll the price situation on the grain
market when they go about it right.

TIE SHORTAGE or WHAT

Farmers of the Northwest. by holding
back grain, have brought about this
season a con ditlou wholly unlocked for
by the grain trade or in banking circles.
Money has been affected. MINNEAPOLIS
shipped currency into the country at the
the rate of $4,000 900 per week for a short
time. The demand has now dropped.
Ihe country is making only a moderate
requlsitlon, and Minneapolis, in turn, is
not calling upon Chicago, New York or
Boston for funds. When it was known
IN August that one of the largest crops
had been raised in Minnesota and North
and South Dakota a fall money demand
OF large proportions was predicted.
Railroads looked fer an overburd.nino
grain tonnage and feared cong estion.
n the grain trade expected the Min
neapolis elevators to till up rapidly. This
has not happened. Farmers are holding
the grain. They are filled with the ideas
of higher prices. There is no SHORTAGE
OF grain here to call for money ac-
commodation with which to pay to pro.
ducers. Instead of borrowing from
banks on grain collateral storage and tho
money in the pockets of farmers the stu
alton today presents the Wow OF
thousands of small stocks of grain in
storage on the farms. Notwithstanding
the movement in MINNEAPOLIS since IN.
