Should the Constitution be amend

The present constitution was drawn
by representatives of the people and

then existing on the liquor question,

last legislature, the peoples represen-
tatives. provided for submitting the
amendment prohibiting the sale and
manufacture of liquors to the people
in The lawful way for their adoption
or ratification, and IL Is for the people
now. according to their best judg.
ment, to decide whether or not the
proposed amendment meets the ex
listing conditions better than the pro
visions of the Constitution adopted
over twenty years ago. Tho people
are progressing In the matter Of the

opinion?" was asked.

to use it in moderation

Secretary Kinney, OF the Veterans As
sociatiOn, Makes Statement OF
EaciS

Col. A. Fl. Kinney located in st.
Cloud over a year ago with his family,
wife, two daughters and one son, and
their experience there has covered all
seasons, and his opinion of things will
be found in the. communication given
below. Col. Kinney is a native of
Northeast, Pa, where he was born in
1S45, the son of 4 Methodist minister
of prominence, who served as presiding
elder of the Meadville and Cleveland
districts, and under whose ministration
the Jackson Street Methodist Church
was built in st. Paul, MINI. The sub
ject of our sketch entered the 105th
Ohio as private, and was discharged
as brevet Lieutenant-ColoneL He was
in the Fourteenth Army Corps under
Thomas in all of the campaigns of the
Middle West; accompanied Sherman in
the march to the sea, and then to the
capture of Johnston, and thence to the
Grand Review at Washington. After the
war, in which two of his brothers also
served, he completed his college course
and then engaged in business enter
prises in Pennsylvania and New York,
| and was living in Rochester in the lat
ter State when he decided to become Il
| member of the st. Cloud Colony. He
says he has never regretted coming
| and Is there to stay, and will always
istrive to induce others to come. On the
organization of the Eeterans' Associa-
| ton. which has been the practical gov
| erning body of the Colony, he was
chosen Secretary. and on the resigna-
ton of Capt. E. II. King was the unan-
| imous choice of the community for
Postmaster. He is also member of
the School Board. trustee of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, and lives in a
very comfortable home on Michigan
| avenue. On being asked to- give his
opinion of the situation in st. Cloud he
prepared the following candid state

sibilities must be regarded even at the
expense OF our own, when the old-time
STAKEHOLDER aggressiveness in political
and social life is again rampant and
domineering and we old Union soldiers
are practically asked to bend the knee
and with uncovered head gaze reverent-

god Baal, Robert e. Lee, in the Ma
tional Hall of Fame.
1t was such incentives as these-this
invasion and its attendant atrocities
that stirred the blood of Meade's army
to such deathless deeds on the field of
Gettysburg. and which nerved to the
highest tension of devotion the bodies
and souls of the sons of Pennsylvania,
with great Reynolds at their head
With Orderly Vail, Reynolds was alone
on the field, having dispatched every
one of his staff on divers quests to
| Meade at Taneytown, to Sickies at
Bridgeport, TO Howard at Emmitshurg
and to other of his officers near by to
hasten forward their commands to help
