NorthWood, March 17-'Honest Fred
Kirchman, the redoubtable and much
esteemed mayor of Mason City, Iowa,
has nothing on" H. C. Finch, the
genial executive Of this town, for all
the publicity given him concerning adj
vice to DRINKS, alleged to have been
given by him to save 50 for their
drunks, and his efforts to keep up the
population Of the jag cures. Mayor
Finch has this week slipped one over"
on all Of them. He has found new
way to make a drunk stay sober, that
so far as can be learned is original.
One L. NJ. Aurdahl, who when he is
sober, is one of the most competent
tailors in the state, and who when
otherwise is not, is the subject of the
experiment.
The following notice appeared in to-
days issues Of the Worth County Index
and the Northwood Anchor, sandwiched
in between political announcements and
legal notices:
Il, L.. M. Aurdahl, being duly sworn,
on oath depose and say that from this
date on q solemnly promise and swear
that will inform on any man who
offers me or buys for me or in any way
assists me to procure any Intoxicating
liquor, and 1 hereby give them notice
of the fact that I have today agreed
to Immediately inform H. c. Finch If
any person or persons solicit or assist
me to violate this pledge, and have
furthermore taken my oath that I will
appear in court as a witness against
49,
IL. M. AURDAHL.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 18th day of March, A. D.. 1910.
III. c.. FINCH,
Mayor of Northwood, Iowa."
Il promise any person who is brought
before me for having been instrumental
in causing Mr.. Aurdahl to violate> the
above oath the limit that the law al
lows. I'll. C. FINCH, Mayor"
Mr. Aurdahl says nothing about
women in his oath, but it is presumed
that man is intended to include the
human race generally. Aurdahl has
taken divers and several cures without
avail. The town is waiting to see
whether this method will keep him
sober He has not sworn off. He has
merely sworn to prosecute any one who
assists him in procuring liquor"
However, coupled with Mayor Finch's
threat Of 1.-The limit for any man who
helps him get liquor, 1t is quite likely
that the sporty tailor will have some
trouble in securing the beverage which
cheers and tnebriates as well.

Des Moines, March 1.-THE law en-
forcement specialties which have been
pulled off by Attorney General Byers
and state Superintendent Riggs, each
in a different way, have not as yet
penetrated to "the reservation, anu
the old methods still prevail there. The
Burlington railroad has filed its pass
list with state officials and it shows
a. disregard of all law and all proprlety
that would have done credit to the
master politicians of the old time. ia
H. Hunter is still on the list not only
for passes from the Burlington out
from other roads because of his repre-
senting the Burlington in state pom
tics. But the surprising thing Is that
the list Of Special agents is lncreas-
ing and several have appeared.
When the anti-pass law was adopted
there was red hot controversy over
the plan to cut out all the attorneys
and doctors, because 1t was always
recognized that the easiest way In the
world to build and maintain pollucsii
machine was thru these two classes.
There was much complaining because
the LEGISLATORS insisted upon forbidohng
free passes to lawyers and DOCTORS.
Now comes the Burlington and SHOWS
list of passes issued to 105 doctors
and flfty-seven attorneys along the
lines in Iowa.
The "old reservation" which used 10
always vote solidly one way, comprlseu
about thirty counties. The record shows
that two lawyers and three doctors III
each county, on average, carry the Ut
tie pasteboard permits which are inc
delight of politicians.
The pass lists of the street car COM
panies show some peculiar interpreta-
lions of the law. Passes are issued Ior
all sorts of reasons, among them as
ISOLATED charities" contract" clergy
man." postoffice inspector" alder.
man." library trustee" cemetery
advertising contract" "harbor master,
"city official" and "in exchange. II
would appear from this that in the
view of the attorneys for street car
companies almost. any excuse Is soou
enough for issuance of a free pass.
The argument before the supreme
court on the case brought by jacob M.
Dickinson, member Of the cabinet, 10
annul the Iowa law forbidding rree
passes, was finally postponed un.,l
warmer weather on account Of an al
hict;on ITO Ben Salinger which prevents
