THE UNITED DOCTORS,

1t is indeed surprising that the Unit.

warm reception accorded them several
9months ago in Devils Lake, but we

THE GRoGSToRE LAW.

Governor Burke has rendered: the
people of the state a great service by
vetoing the law permitting druggists
without a permit to salI intoxicants, on
physicians prescriptions. The effecA
would be to open UP the liquor business
at every town great and small. The
gentlemen that, now constitute the me-
deal fraternity Of the state might: NOT
cater to the tnafhe, hut the demand
would be so great that a new Supply
of doctors wnnld be, forthcoming; It.
will be in order. now for the persons res.
sponsible for passing that bill to reply

sons for his Veto. Htsn Frank HylantEs

quor Influences: are very powerful: but
not POWERFUL enough to down a. man

interests of the people.
There exists among a. large class of

loon helps business. It helps the sa.
loon BUSINESS; burt hurts every other
business except the dive and gambling
den. 1t hurts the dry goods and groc
cry and clothing business, because the
money that. should go to those for fam
lily supplies, goes to the saloons Of
the latter If allowed to thrive. One
merchant informed US this week tina,
4 his sales; for February this year arr
much ahead Of those of the same
month last year, and he attributes The
increase to the suppression of the Ii
quor traffic We should say "Repres
sion" as there is, undoubtedly some vi
olations of the law from time to time
just as there is of the law against lar
ceny. 1t was estimated prior to the

open liquor policy of the adminfstra
ton was costing the city about SIS, O0t
month. Two merchants Informed u.
that their extra sales in the pas
month over same month last year were
