SIX WOMEN HURT IN
BARGAIN SALE RUSH

announcing that prices had been
cut in two and that the sale would
open at 8 O'clock the next morning.
Long before the hour set for the
opening, a throng of men, women
and children gathered in the street.
Many of the women were carrying
babies.
When the doors of the store were
thrown open several men in the
rear of the crowd formed flying
wedge" and moved their way
through the throng, knocking down
women and children. A clerk
standing near the front door told
the police that when the custom
ers began to arrive" they ap'
peared to have been shot from a
gun.

Editorial Comment.
The Plaisted Plan.


The Plaistcd plan to make the State
as dry as bone, or covered bridge,
or Sahara. or any other dessicated
thing. and thus drive the State to
drink as it were, was fully described
in these columns nearly three weeks
ago. 1t is now being caught up ana
exploited by other papers as a new DIS
covery. The idea was said to have
originated with Governor elect Plalst-
ed, and it Is now reported to have been
discussed and endorsed at recent
meeting OF the Democratic State COM
mittec. 1t is in brief to give the State
Il spell of strictcst enforcement OF
the prohibitory law ever known, thus
creating I; great drought. Not only
this roi only are the Democratic
shcriffs and other county officers to
be called in and instructed to make
prohibition prohibit as never before,
but the liquor agency law is to be re-
pcalcd and the agencies abolished. II
any sheriff or county attorney is 10Th
on delinquent, he is to be brought up
to the mark by threat of impeachment
In this way public opinion Is to DC
wrought up to such pltch that IL -
expected that by next September.
when it is hoped to have the prohibit
ton amendment ready for resubmis-
sion at a special election. it will be
repealed by u good majority. Thcn
after September if all goes well a
special session of the Legislator" can
hr called and Il license law passed
1t is quite Il plan, but are not the
Democrats making Il mistake IN Snow
ing their hand too soon? 1t Is wen

hare. In order TO resubmit the
amendment u two-thirds vote OF the
Legislature is necessary. But the
Democrats have not two-thirds- 10
make it up they depend on securing
some Republican votes. 1t has been
assumed that these would be FORTH
coming. but it is possible that this
revelation of the Democratic plan WIZ
scare those votes away \ man may
believe in resubmission on principle,
and not believe in license. And II
he sees that his vote Is to be uSeu as
a means to bring about license, ne
might be perVerSc enough not TO give
that vote. The motive is too plain
1t is not to enforce the law because
i; is the law, but by policy of eX-
IRENE severity to cause reaction IN
favor Of the legalized saloon. 1t is
barely possible that the mark will be
overshot So far as the Sturgis law
and the Democratic counties are con-
ccrned the Democrats have matters IN
their own hands. Possibly they can
bring all the county officers into line
with the plan and induce the rumsel-
lers to cooperate, but when they get
beyond that they may find themselves
on uncertain ground.

at the present time Of recession in

We hope both these great trade ana

that the enormous crops would tide

L. is not a political party affair. The
people vent into it with eyes wide

and that the dice We're loaded. Now
they should take the consequences
with the best possible grace.

not come in 191i--everyone hopes it
will not--but it is the part OF wisdom
to be prepared. a general policy of

we are trying to stave off. But it is
the duty of the working classes to
live well within their means: not to
indulge in unnecessary expenses, and
to save everything possible for such
days of idlenesS as such keen calcu
lators as those quoted above forcsec,
1t is Il betrayal Of trade ethics to
