LOCAL OPTION Is
not FOR CITIES
TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT HIT "A
BLOW sY suPREME COURT or
i MINNESOTA TN A DECISION
HANDED DOWN YESTERDAY
CITIES CANNOT VOTE.

The move at Fergus Falls by the
temperance element OF the community
to vote out the saloons In that city
was given bad blow by the supreme
court OF Minnesota yesterday. when
q decision was filed by Associate
Justice Calvin l.. Brown. the potent
point Of which was that the city Of
Fergus Falls cannot vote for or
against local option.
The court says that the local OPP
ton law, designed to regulate small
communities is not a general law
within the meaning Of the term as
used in the charter governing the
city of Fergus Fails and cannot be
invoked for saloon and anti-saloon
elections in the larger cities. Some
time ago Attorney General Simpson
made ruling in harmony with the
decision dust handed down by the
upper court.
II IL said that the temperance peo-
pie OF this part of the state will now
take another tack to put a uietus
on the saloons--they claim to be in
the majority in Fergus Falls.

Sentiment RulIish.

Chicago. Dec. 11.--Sentiment has
become very bullish irrespective of the
fact that there has been an advance
for three days. There was heavy
sales for profits at $1.O9 but the wheat
was well taken, the short interest has
been reduced on the advance each day
this week, and the bulls have also
taken profits, but when they started
TO buy their wheat back the next day
they found the market comparatively
bare of offerings, especially on a set
back. Those who are bullish say that
prices will have to advance to a point
where holders, of cash wheat are dis
posed to sell 1t more freely. AS this
is Saturday, some are inclined to look
for sufficient profit taking on any cd
vance to give the market a setback,
but they are advising purchases on
any good break-Inter- Ocean.

In Defense Of rrua u4ons.n.


Baltimore Sun: No one can have a

have. She is as far above man as the
stars above the earth, as far above
him as the people who spend the
money are above the folks who pay
the bills. She has height Of in
tellect That towers like a tall girl in
directoire gown, with d breadth Of
vision as broad as the merry widow
hat. She can suffer for a good cause
with the same stoical spirit as the
stout lady suffers to keep her figure
in bounds, and can wear the crown
of nartyrdom as the blond wears the
marcel wave.
Far be 1t from us to say one word
against woman. We would defend her
even against herself we would not
put her on level with man, but have
her remain on the high pedestal on
which she now stands II a large ma
jority Of women ever decide that they
must have the right to vote, they will
probably get 1t at once, and have IL
delivered at the house. But we hope
that when that time arrives the wo-
men Of this country will be "suffra-
gists," and not 'suffragettes. AS an
eminent woman orator has explained

Grain Opinions.

Finley Barrell g. Co.: We continue
TO feel that advantage should be
taken Of all reactions in wheat in
order to make purchases. We con-
tinue to strongly advocate taking ad =
vantage of breaks In order to accumu-
late May corn as much higher prices
eventually appear inevitable.
Sheahson. Hammill g. Co.: There
can be no weaking in the wheat stu
alton so long as the supply and de-
mand situation remains in The pres
ent delicately adjusted position and
aggressive campaigning on the long
side for the present.
Ware & Leland: We vor purch-
ases Of wheat on any fair sized set
back. Look for a reaction in corn
where purchases can be made with lit
tie risk and suggest profit taking on
long May oats with view to replacing
on any setback.

Revolving Practices.

Washington, Dec. Histories OF re-
voting practices of American and for
eign procurers of women for impor-
tation into the United States for i'm
moral purposes are told in a report
issued yesterday by the immiera ton
commission. The recommendation nj
the commission contemplate a closer
scrutiny of the admission of alien wo-
men and renewed efforts to stamp out
the so-called white slave traffic"
In explanation OF the act OF laying
bare to the public the horrible details
Of discoveries by It's agents the COM
mission says that the "whtte-slave
traffic" is the most pitiful and the
most revolving phase OF the immigra-
ton question. This business has as
sumed large proportions, and 1t has
been exerting SO evil an influence nm
on the country that the commission
declares that 1t felt compelled to make
1t the subject OF thorough investi-
cation. Since the subject is especial
ly liable to sensational exploitation.
the report says, 1t Is important that
the statement of the commission
should deal with undeniable facts,
which may form a basis Of reasonable
legislative and administrative action
to lessen its evils. The inquiry COW
cred the cities Of New York, Chicago.
San Francisco, Seattle, Portland.
Salt Lake City, Ogden. Butte. Denver.
Buffalo, Boston and New Orleans. No
attempt was made to investigate con-
ditions in every important city. But
the commission believes that enough
evidence with reference to women or
different races and nationalities and
living under different conditions has
been obtained from localities sufic-
iently scattered to warrant the re-
ports being used as a basis for legis-
lative and administrative action.
