say, maintain the average of the
above figures.
These figures are tolerably conclu-

completely refute the pleas of the
American prohibitionists, who as 1
said, make no discrimin alton and al
low no distinctions. One and all,

call their temperance, single glass,

the first mile-post on the road to per-

wine, and glass of grog, one and
the same.
They take their stand upon total alb.
stinence, which is their right. But,
not content with adopting it for them
selves, they seek to force it by law
upon their nelghbors. 1t is impos.
sible to reason with such spirit. It
is of the very essence Of despotism.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1911-05-31

We think we are free people. We
agree that the world is too much gov.
erned. Yet nowhere is individual lib.
erty so assaulted as in the United
States. The prohibition wave, now
happily subsiding, was menace to
free institutions. Thoughtful people
are beginning to see that there are
worse evils than the drink evil; evils
more subversive of the character of a
nation, because more general and
pervasive, less obvious and reach
able. The drunkard is usually in
evidence. He may be dealt with. It
is otherwise with the varying forms OF
personal and political corruption.
Virtue is self.resistance to vice, not
enforced obedience to drastic regula-
ton. Morality is relative. That may
be moral in one country which is i'm.
moral in another country. Circum-
stances alter cases. Time and place
must be regarded. This is strictly
exemplifed by the Hofbrauhaus of
Munich.
The common gOod," about which
we hear SO much, like the "general
welfare" clause of the constitution,
has been worked to death. The
''common good'' is the veriest ab-
straction. It is not everywhere the
same as one sees here in Bavaria. It
has its variants. Who is to decide
what is the common good?" Time
was when the Church, or rather its
close corporation of ruling prelates
alone decided. The "common good"
was their belief, or pretended belief,
in prescribed religious dogma. The
common good" embraced certain
customs, manners and clothing de-
creed by canon law as orthodox. The
penalties assessed against the delin-
quent varied from hanging to burning
from the rack to the thumbscrew.
They were applied by whichever
church party found itself in the ascen.
dant.
After many centuries of strenuous
trial in the effort to make men good
by force OF arms and tortures, both a
costly and gastly failure, the self-or-
dalned agents of God sowing the world
in blood and flame, were sent to the
rear and the doctrine of liberation
the bedrock of all freedom, of all

The Liquor Situation in New Ulm

AT the last session OF the distric
court incidentally it was brought to th'
notice Of the court during the trial g
Martinks and Lampel that the liquo!
laws had been violated and the court
directed the county attorney to see tc
it that the party in question was pro-
secuted for the offense. It appeared
also from the testimony Of Martinson
of Kasota, the plaintiff, in the case,
that his visit to this city was not for
the sole purpose OF quenching his
thirst but that he was looking for ad-
ditionsl qualification of unworthy
motives. which Of course, could not be
gratifed in the fair city of New Ulm.
This paper has always fearlessly
stood up for and advocated the exer-
else of the rights of citizens as long as
they remain within decency. True,
sons transgressions will show them
selves at various times, but as rule,
we are confident to say, that in many
instances they are outsiders who be-
lieve themselves master of the town,
causing trouble while they hide under
the guise OF hypocrisy.
By this we do not wish to be under
stood that we approve of the actions
of some our own people when they
stray from the path of righteousness,
either voluntarily or being enticed
into wrong path by the uncalled for
action of others. Our own people, as
rule, are law abiding citizens, they
believe in home rule and do not re-
quire the services of self appointed
moralists.
We are not disposed to parade these
"liquor cases" or the transgression
of the liquor laws before the world
at large. If we should we would OF
necessity and consistently have to
accuse the executive of our city for
not enforcing the laws. However, we
are not the mayors adviser and We
presume that he knows best what to !
do with laws which are intended to |
"regulate other peoples private life
and which lack the moral support OF
the majority Of people in this COM
munity. Such laws must always prove
10 be a total failure.
This fact that we have An executive
with certain responsibilities at the
head of this community should be
borne in mind by those papers who
come out in flaming headlines pro-
"saloonkeepers on brink OF
abyss" Such tactics are not in &C
cord with the true status of affairs.
Let these papers come out equally as
trong in emphasizing the duties OF
he persons in authority. But here
silence reigns. Again we state that
ve are satisfied with the conditions,
what is good for one town
nay not be expedient for others, and :
,ur authorities, no doubt, realize the
peculiar conditions of our city and |
lct accordingly in harmony with the
majority of the people.
: We have absolute faith in the
and law abiding qualities of
'ur citizens and the good intentions i
# our city officials and feel that no I
Intervention on the part of so-called +
loralists is necessary.
We understand that the prosecuting
ttorney has fully complied with the
rider of the court and peace and G
armony reigns once more. -

workman touch elbows. Women and
children come and go of their own
sweet will. Disorder of any sort is
undreamed Of. The can of beer served
for twenty-four pfennings (six cents)
is double the size of the Stein known
in America. When his can is empty
the habitue takes it himself to the cask
and has it refilled. Cheese and sau-
sage are the food staples. This has
been going on day in and day out for
hundreds of years, and furnishes a
complete answer to the dogma to the
American prohibitionists "that we
can no more conduct the liquor bust
ness without producing drdnkards
than we can run rattlesnake ranches
without raising poison.' One might
as we'll say that we cannot run banks
without raising embezzlers; or rail-
ways without encountering accidents;
or cucumbers and cabbage without
the risk of cholera morbus, the thief,
the wreck, the bellyache, like the
drunkard, being the exception. Shall
we have no more fiscal institutions,
no more lines of transportation, no
more truck gardens and no more cakes
and ale? Perish the thought, for
what has been and is in Bavaria can
be in Kentucky or anywhere else
where the rule of sanity and modera,
ton is observed.

BIG LEGAL
BATTLE is
FAIRLY ON

Los Angeles, Cal, June ga dis
cussion as to the meaning of certain
sections of the penal code recently
amended was INDUCED by the attor-
neys defending Corners, Maple and
Bender and by Deputy District Attor-
ney G. r. Horton when the case of
the alleged dynamiters of the Hall Of
Records was called in Judge Willis
court today.
Horton presented an affidavit
signed by j. E. Carr, acting foreman
of the grand jury in which Carr set
forth that he had complied with the
section of the code which cites that
a grand jury foreman must poll the
Jury when it. conyenes and instruct
any member who admits bias in the
case about to be considered to with
draw.
Carr denied specifically that he
was antagonistic to organized labor.
If the attorneys for the defense
succeeded in carrying their points,
the indictments will be quashed and
the defendants will be let go or the
grand jury will meet again and re-
turn new indictments.
The district attorney had no evil
dence or anything from which to get
evidence and his conduct before the
grand jury was foreign to the idea of
a fair trial" Attorney Scott said.
"The transcript of testimony all
through shows that he sought to in
timidate and coerce the witnesses
into some sort of an admission of
guilt. His methods savored Of the

"The tipping evil has become SO

of taxpayers to help ~perpetuate this
evil" said Secretary of State Olcolt,
in speaking of the system generally
and referring to it especially insofar
as it concerns the state. Continuing,
the secretary said:
an the past it has been the Gus
tom of this Office to pass expense
items of the state officers, covering
tins to porters and other employees OF

to say about it, no claims of this

WHO WILL
Be QUEEN
OF THE FAIR
NO MATTER WHO, so LONG AS 1T
Is A SALEM GIRL SHE is SURE
10 BE JUST THE ONE" FOR
THE PLACE.

The contest for the honor of rep-
~resenting Queen Ann at the sixth an
nual Cherry Fair promises to be
more exciting than ever before in the
history of this great midsummer event.
VIM. McGilchrist, Jr., who is con-
Quoting the contest, has the promise
of about a dozen young ladies who
will allow their names to be entered
by their friends for this social dis
tinctiOn. Ballot boxes will be placed
at the Spa, Bellies Confectionery,
Adolph's cigar store, the Cafeteria
and in Patton's and the Commercial
book stores.
The committee on the Cherry fair
has appropriated $50 for a beautiful
gown, which will be worn by the sue
cessful contestant in a 5000 float, es-
pecially provided for this occasion
and which will be drawn by six milk
white horses. 1t is expected that
balloting will begin by Saturday at
the above named places. and the bal
lots will cost one cent per vote, the
money to go into the general fund
of the Cherry fair.
The young ladies who are to be
chosen for this contest will represent
the best social circles of the city, and
will not enter into a contest in a
spirit of personal rivalry, but to as.
sist in making the Cherry fair a great
success. They will uphold the pride
of the Cherry City of the World and
the principal competitors will occupy
seats on the float, attending the tri-
umphant queen as her maids of hon
or in the grand civic parade on
Thursday, June g., at 1890 o'clock in
the forenoon, when the golden keys
of the city will be handed to King
Bing and Queen Ann iii accordance
with the established custom Of the
Capital City.
Mr.. McGilchrist, who Is in charge
of this contest, says his selection was
entirely unexpected, but he regards
it as an honor to serve and asks the
cooperation Of the whole community,
and especially the fairer sex, in con-
Quoting this contest. The honor OF
being selected queen of the Cherry
Fair is increasing in dignity and inn
portance each year and will arouse
the keenest interest and greatest
rivalry before this contest is closed

THE YEGGS
BROKE The
CITY BANK

Chico, Cal, June 23.-Posses today
are out in the country near Stirling
City, 35 miles east of here, in the
Sierras, in pursuit of a band of rob-
bers who dynamited the Stirling City
bank and fled with booty estimated at
about $40 900. The yeggs took every
cent in the bank. The robbery was
not discovered until this morning.
There is no information as to the
number of men involved in the bank
robbery here, as the thieves had cut
all wires leading to Chico. 1t is not
believed there is much chance OF the
yeggmen being captured, although
the entire countryside, armed to the
teeth, is out in the hills.
The looted bank was owned prin-
cipally by officials of the Diamond
Match company, and while no dehn-
its information has yet been CLEANED
from Stirling City, is known that the
institution usually had at least $2O,-
900 on hand.
AS the bank was in the very center
of the town and the work of blowing
its safe was done so quietly that no
n was disturbed until this morn
ing, the opinion is strong that the
Job was the work of experts. With
this in mind, it is believed that if
the robbers are encountered in the
rugged mountains where they are
thought to have taken refuge, a des-
perate battle is almost sure.
The chances of the robbers max
ing a clean getaway" however, are
believed to be excellent. 1t is not
believed they will try to flee along
the line of the Butte county railroad
which runs through Stirling City.
but kilograms have been sent all
along the line and posses at different
points will be on the lookout tc
block the escape.

Salem are filled with enthusiasm, and
already the work is showing marked

The Salvation Army is doing a

viiting the sick, assisting the poor,
working among the ~churchless is a
part. There is also a valuable work
being done by the army at the peni-

The work the army is doing de-
serves a better support from the cit

what 1t should be, a more extensive
and better work could be done.
