take care of that; the thing most in
need of conservation is the habitssand
the character of Our people against
the menace Of the open saloon. We
want more than anything else and
above everything else to put stop to
this awful waste of $40,0OO,OO0 annual
1y for which we have worse than nc
return at all. It makes me sick to
hear men talking about conserving our
State and national resources and shut.
ting their eyes deliberately to this
great question on which no ingenuity
can extract an expression of opinion
from them
Naturally l favor county option.
It's bound to come. I confidently ex-
pect that by twenty-five years from
now county option will have driven
the saloons out of all our country dis
tricts and that only in st. Paul, Min
napolis, Duluth and Winona will the
traffic be licensed. Why shouldn't the
counties have voice in the matter of
granting licenses within their borders :?
Is it not upon the counties that the
expense they involve largely falls
DO not the counties build the jails
and maintain the poor farms? Do
they not pay the salaries of prosecut-
ing officers? Do they not pay the ju-
ries and the court expenses? And is
it not also true that indulgence in in
toxicating drinks will be found at the
bottom of practically every offense
against the criminal code. It is un-
just that the men who are taxed to
pay for the suppression of crime
should have no voice to say about per-
hitting traffic that fosters crime.
I don't think any person who knows
me would call me temperance crank.
But, nevertheless, / am thoroughly
convinced that in proportion as the
traffic in Intoxicating drinks is left to
the. sober Judgment of all the people
in that proportion will sobriety and
prosperity and comfort and happiness
prvail. The open saloon is not a
matter which affects only the inhab-
itants of our cities and villages. If
that were the case it might be vel,
enough for them to say whether it
SHOULD be established in their midst or
not. 1t directly and Substantially al.
, fects all the people, andwhether or
. not there are to be saloons in any
given county it is in justice for all
the people of that county to say?
On the whole one cannot fail t.
commend the course pursued by the
game and fish commission in en-
' deavoring to secure as a superinten
! dent of fisheries to succeed S. F.
Fullerton an expert in that line. The
gentleman selected is Professor Tit
comb, who was a former chief in the
department of fish culture in the Uni
, ted States department OF fisheries
and is said to be an expert in the
matter Of fish breeding and pr2gaga
ton. It is believed that the selection
; was made without regard to Profes
sor Titcomb's political affiliatior
which, indeed, have not been inquire
into.

OUR ST, PAUL -. II.
LETTER
COUNTY OPTION AND OTHER W.
tai QUESTIONS CON.
9iDERED.

st. Paul, January Il.--Governor Bb
erhart was an honored guest. his week
at a banquet of the Transportation
club. In his address be- put h mseli
on record as standing fer tie best
transportation facilities. "The inter.
ests of the people and the interests of
the railroads are in common" he said,
II see no reason why they should not
act together" With this sentiment
no one can find fault If the meaning
is that they act together for the COM
mon good, rather than to the exclusive
advantage of the railroads. What
Governor Eberhart meant is not so
clear when he added,as he is reported
to have done: There is no longer
any necessity for railroads and other
business interest to maintain lobbies
at the legislature, for they could have
their rights safeguarded". A good
; deal depends On what one means by
their rights. One who has been OBJ
t servant Of recent Minnesota legisla-
lures, however, will be incl ned to
tagree with the governor There is
very little need of railroads maintain
ing lobbies when they are amp'y rep
resented on the floors Of both cham
bers.
County option sentiment in Mime
sota," said a we'll known up State sen,
ator to me the other day at the Mer-
chants "is growing by leaps and
bounds. The Republican convention,
he added, may choose to ignore it,
but if it does and interests antagonis-
tic to temperance reform nominate a
candidate for governor it will be fata.
to his prospect of election. The opin-
ion is growing, he continued, and is
every day becoming more pronounce
that all the people who are brought
into contact. with the saloons in our
j, villages should have something to say
as to, whether those saloons should be
opened-as to whether there should
be license or no license -...'@..
Take the case of village in my
county, for instance. It has a pop.
ulation of some 400 people, There
was while it was dry. The country
vas prosperous. Crime had been re
duced to a minimum. The people
were orderly and law abiding. Farm
ers were making money and we're saw
ing it. Their families were we'll pro
Nided for and ideal rural conditions
prevailed. Recently license was votel
b small majority Of the people OF
the village and we have again the
open saloon. The result is what you
see in every village where there are
saloons. The farmers are being de
bauched-not all of them. of course
but in every settlement there are mel

neglected farms, in families deprived
of the comforts they have been accus
toned to enjoy in wives and children
not provided with sufficient clothing
in men who have lost character and
credit in young men who are acquir
ing dissolute habits. We see it in
business. Men who used to have a
bank account have drawn out their
balances. The money they used to
spend in groceries and the dry goods
stores they spend over the bar. Most
pitiful Of all you see wives waiting
around these cold days until their
drunken husbands are helped out of
the saloons and dumped into sletghs to
be carried home either unconscious or
too TAR gone to manage their teams.
Talk about saloons attracting trade
and bringing prosperity to our towns
and villages I'd like to submit a few
figures to you. Do you know that in
these United States the average re-
ceipts at all the bars amount to an.
proximately $4,000 a year. want to
be conservative in this matter, and /
will assume that in this State the
average saloon receipts are $4,000 a
year. There are in Minnesota almost,
but not quite 1000 saloons. You can
get the exact number by inquiring at
the capital, for they have to report
there to pay the tax for the inebriate
farm. Four thousand, however, is
near enough for my purpose. Multi
ply the $4,000 receipts by the number
of saloons: 10000 y 1900 and you have
$40, 00Ny 400 spent in Minnesota over
the bars in our saloon which other
wise would be spent for the comforts
and conveniences of life. No one can
tell me that it is to the advantage of
the towns and villages of this state
that this vast sum should be 80 spent
in saloons rather than in improving
our farms, in buying better machinery,
in paying. for the necessaries which
our merchants supply or deposited in
our banks to he used as necessity re-
puires.
"Now, see here" continued The SEN
ator, II want to make little compar-
ison for you. suppose, of course
you fow that. this is q. great dairy
State; that farmers who have gone
into dairying are getting rich, and that
nothing has done so much to improve
agricultural conditions in Minnesota
as the extension of dairying into all
parts Of the state. L have some fig
ures on that, too, that will interest
you. There are in Minnesota approx
imately 100000, dairy cattle The
