John Lind on County Option.

agitatiEg the public mind more
fully. refer to the question of
county option. County option does
not mean county prohibition; nor
does it of itself make any county
wet or dry It simply means
that tile legislature shall pass law
authorizing the people of the
county to determine by vote for
themselves whether saloons shall be
allowed in the county or not. For
the life of me, l cannot see any,
thing startling in this proposition.
The startling thing to my mind
is that it is not the law today.
"As a people we profess to be-
lieve in local self-government. Is
it not part of self-government to
have the power to regulate the
saloon question? The liquor traf-
fic has always been regarded as
a proper subject for police regula-
tion. The supreme court of the
United States. in passing upon the
right of the people of the state of
Kansas to regulate the liqour traffic,

New Politics, New Rules.

A new kind Of politics is being.
played. It is the peoples ''game. "
It is rising above party and far
above party machines.
The movement which is now
sweeping the country is based upon
principle. Its strength is nothing
more nor less than the strength of the
people whose confidence it possesses.
Retention of this confidence is es-
sential to complete triumph. The
people demand new standards of
conduct as we'll as new standards of
principle.
Some of the men in everv COM
munity who are connected with the
new movement have been reared in
the old game and still cling to its
methods. The extent to which
they do this is the measure of that
which they must unlearn.
The new *'game" is al open
game It must be played with the
cards face upward. They must not
be 'stacked.' There must be nc
tricks of any kind. In the new
politics secrecy, mystery and pussy
footing are out of place. Timidity,
evasion and equivocation will ex-
cite scorn and contempt. Frank
ness and courage must supplant
them.
Only those who are qualified to
play the new game under its own
rules are likely to last very long,

One of the arguments being used
in the attempt to line up county op-
ton voters for the republican can
didate for senate: is that as a ma
jority party man he would be able
to accomplish more than a member
who represents minority party.
This might be true if such majority
party was in favor of county Op-
ton. If it's governor would re-
commend it. its platform demand
it, and it's members of the legisla-
ture unite on it. But such is not
the case. The fight must be won
in spite Of the party, and therefore
the less strings the party interests
have on the member the more free
he is to fight for reform. This is
proven conclusively by the good
records achieved by Sageng in the
Senate and L0beck in the House.
Both were instrumental in passing
some of the best bills. If Kandi.
yohi county wishes to emphasize its
demand for county option it will

What promises to become one of
the greatest educational movements
of this century, in this and other
countries, was launched last Febru-
airy when the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca were incorporated. In spite of
the fact that this organization has
been in existence only a few months
it has gained such Roadway that at
the present time it numbers more
than one hundred and fifty thous-
and. The movement started in
England, and from there it is
spreading to many other countries.
Ii is worthy of thoughtful consider
alton and hearty support on the
part Of every parent, and we trust
that Wil]mar may soon have little
army of Boy Scouts. Already rour
patrols nave Deen organized IN tnls
city, and prospects are good for
several more. A little money is
needed and number of young men
to take charge Of the patrols as
Scout Masters. We trust both
needs can be supplied. We would
like very much to have the Com
mercial Club take this matter up
and see what it could do in the line
of support and encouragement.
For the benefit of those who may
not have heard very much regard.
ing this movement we print an ex-
planatory article from the Sioux
City Daily News or page 8.

breaking up of the political power
of the brewery and liquor interests.

No small proportion of the credit
for the success Of the no-license
policy in Kandiyohi county is due
to the firm hand with which Judge
G. E. Qvale has administered JUS
tice to offenders of the law. Were
there no other reasons, of which
there are many, why Judge Qvale
should be retained on the bench,
this reason alone entities the Judge
to the solid endorsement Of the

Claude L'Engle is not making
loud boasts nor claiming that
he will be elected in the first,
second, third or fourth primary
as United States Senator from
Florida, but be is conducting a
campaign that makes him about
the most talked of man in the
race. He is going direct to the
people, meeting them face to
face, in their homes, in the
streets of the towns and cities,
10 the public roads OF the coun
try districts, in the fields and
anywhere else that he can find
them, and he has got an uumis-
takably attractive line of polit-
ical ''dope" which he hands out
at every opportunity. Claude
is in dead earnest about the mat
ter OF his candidacy and he don't
fail to tell the people IN e
things thai cause them TO sit up,
take notice and don their think
ing caps. Claude may be "a
ioke' but if somebody don't look
sharp the joke will be turned
by the end of the campaign.
His speech in Madison last Fri
lay was said, by many who
leard it, to be the best and most
convincing political p e e c h
made in this burg in many days
and what is more to the point,
or Claude at least, it was a
ote winner.
