An Artistic Rebuke.

A well-known clergyman was trav-
cling in a non-smoking compartment
of train going north. AS soon as
the train was well on it's way. the only
other occupant, without asking per-
mission of his fellow traveller, coolly
lit a cigarette. The reverend gem
tleman was relieved, as he wanted to
smoke himself, but had been afraid
lest his companion might object. But
the opportunity was too good to be
lost Drawing out his pipe he leaned
forward, and. with an ingratiating
smile, blandly inquired: Would you
object If | were to smoker"

Municipalities Liable for Deaths.

An important decision which holds
that municipalities are liable for
damages where citizens contract
disease and die through drinking
polluted city water was last week
handed down by the state supreme
court. The decision was the outcome
of the typhoid epidemic at Mankato
two years ago in which several per-
sons died from the fever. Della
Keever and Kate Flanagan, whose
husbands died from the disease, filed
suits against the city of Mankato,
alleging that these deaths were due to
the negligence of the city in allowing
it's water supply to become polluted.
The city of Mankato demurred to this
complaint on the ground that as a
government it could not be sued, and
was exempt because it was carrying
out a government function. The case
was appealed on this demurrer.
The disease was traced by the state
board of health to sewage which
had polluted the city water.

Out in Spokane last week a woman
named Flora Bilkiss, who poses as a
missionary, kicked over the kettles Of
six Salvation army Santa Clauses
who were collecting funds on the
street corners to make Christmas
happier for the poor, and then swore
out warrants against them for
attempting to delude the children into
the belief that there is such person
as Santa Claus. The fool justice who
issued such warrants should be re-.
moved from Office and the self.styled
missionary seems to be a fit subject
for the insane asylum. However,
neither of them had the satisfaction OF
seeing the warrants served-the chief
of police, who is deserving of praise,
refused to obey orders.

There seems now to be no doubt
that President Taft will eventually
issue an executive order removing the
liquor ban from q large part Of the
so-called Indian country in this state,
and congress will be asked to exercise
its authority and modify the treaties
which the president cannot touch, so
that the sale of liquor will be pro-
hibited only in territory in which
Indians actually live in numbers. r.
E. Nicholson of the National Anti
Saloon league, who has been in con-
ference with the president, and who
offers no objection to the lid being
raised in territory not inhabited BY
Indians, will make report to Mr..
Taft advising him as to the territory
whish should, in his opinion, be
thrown open, and upon this the presi-
dent will base his executive order.
There would be nothing moro fair
than this, but the question of open
and closed territory should be settled
without delay and SO settled that it
will not be perpetually bobbing up.

match will be to a finish, best two out

Offices of the Cleveland Oil CON-

raided on Wednesday of last week
by government secret service men and
two of it's officials we're arrested upon
the charge of fraudulent use of the
mails. On December s the Uni O n

proposition of the Great West Oil
company--also of Los Angeles
which, in circular headed, ''Divi-
dends from 100 to 1000 per CENTS
offered stock for sale at 20 cents per
share. The U nj on at that time ex-

case which demanded the attention of
the postoffice authorities. In list OF

find the Cleveland company enumer-
ated. This latter is the company
whose Offices have just been raided

all the others on the list discovered to
be doing business on the same prin-
ciple-or rather, lack of principle.

way is to run no risk-buy no stock
