BLIND-PlG CASE DISMISSED.
Prosecution Decides to Drop Local Trial
and Take Case to Next Grand Jury.

The Gazette went to press last
Tuesday without being able to re-
port results on the trial of Verne
Baldwin for violating the city ordi-
nance in maintaining his whole
sale" liquor joint. Judge Gray
found the defendant guilty and SEN
fenced Baldwin to pay fine of SIS.
AS was expected, notice of appeal
was made and the usual stay ordered.
The result will be watched with in
terest, as the whole case hangs up
on the question of whether the ordi-
nance is valid or not in law.
The jury trial of Baldwin on the
charge of running an unlicensed
drinking place occupied the time of
the municipal court from Wednes-
day morning until Friday morning,
the jury being unable to agree.
Testimony was introduced to show
that beer and whiskey had been sold
at Baldwin's on several specified oc-
casions to at least three witnesses,
who were subsequently grilled by
Attorney Davis, the defendants at
torney, who succeeded in discount
ing the testimony so far as the jury
was concerned and preventing YER
dict. At least that is the most logic
ical deduction to be made for the
result, all the jurors but two being
reported in favor of an aequittal.
AS usual, the only way to get testi-
mony against illegal liquor selling is
by way of detectives or hired wit
nesses, and the average juror natur-
ally balks at being governed by
what is called manufactured testf
mony. Davis magnified and distort-
ed circumstances under which the
testimony was obtained and the dis
agreement was foreseen by many
before the jury went out.
When the case for a second trial
of Verne Baldwin came UP yester-
day afternoon, County Attorney
Emerson made motion to dismiss
the case, and although the attorney
for defendant objected, Judge Gray
dismissed the case in accordance
with Attorney Enersen's motion.
The county attorney acted with the
approval of his associate, Judge
Laudon, and of most of the citizens
who put themselves behind the COM
plant against Baldwin, believing
that success would be gained better
before the grand jury than before a
local jury.
The license element of the com
munity were disposed to make merry
over the turn of affairs and the de.
PENDANT proceeded to open up his
place on Second street at once. Tha:
Baldwin will resume the sale of Ii
quor we doubt, and if the result OF
the attempt made at law enforce
ment has this result, neither side will
have great cause for complaint,

on the long line and on the people
who do shipping at stations at inter.
mediate points on the long line. AS
it is now the long line is allowed to
meet the rates on the short line. In
der rigid distance tariff law this
could not be done. For instance, there
are two roads between Minneapolis
and Waseca The distance by the Min
neapolis and St. Louis road is eighty
eight miles. The distance by the Chi
cago and Northwestern railway is 107
miles. 1t is plain that on a purely
mileage basis the Chicago and North
western railway could not compete
with the Minneapolis and st. Louis at
Waseca. So far as traffic between
those points is concerned the Chicago
and Northwestern railway would be
driven out of business The rates at
intermediate points at no greater dis
lance from Minneapolis in a straight
line on the Chicago and Northwestern
would necessarily be greater than the
rates at intermediate points on the
Minneapolis and ST. Louis and, with
the same maximum tariff, higher than
they are now.
4. + 1.
The point Mr. eastman makes In
this case is that Waseca need not nee
essarily do all it's business with Min
neapolis. Under fair rates Mankato,
which is in a direct line over the
Northwestern, could compete with the
Twin Cities. 1t is his contention that
at practically every station in the state
where the greater distance would shut
out trade to the Twin Cities 1t would
be of corresponding advantage to
some interior jobbing point and thus
have tendency to build up business
in the smaller cities. While this Is
doubtless to great extent true it does
not entirely overcome the objections
to an inf1exible distance tariff and, so
far as one can Judge, the general opin-
! ion seems to be, except on the part OF
those bent at all hazards on maintain
| ing the present determinations in ia
(, vor of the Twin Cities, who would OPP
pose any tariff based on mileage, that
| the bill might prove of advantage. il 1t

STATE LEGISLATION
Correspondence Gazette.

ST. Paul, Feb. 6.-The eastman dis
lance tariff bill has been a subject OF
absorbing interest during the past
week Generally it is little UNDERSTOOD
yet it's underlying principle is simple
and its provisions are plain. Under
it railroad rates in Minnesota would
be uniform for equal distances. The
rate is not SO much a mile for any
given class of freight. The shorter
the distance the higher the mile rate
and the longer the distance the lower
the mile rate. But for any given dis
lance the rate would be the same ON
any given class of freight on all roads
and to and from all points. Thus it
would cost the same to haul carload
of grain OF of coal hundred miles
whether it were handled between Du-
luth and ST. Paul, between Mankato
and st. Cloud, or between Duluth and
Fergus Falls. There would be no dis.
elimination as between localities or as
between shippers.
!. + !.
Although the opposition TO the Dill
is very active. especially among the
millers. manufacturers and jobbers OF
the Twin Cities and on the part of the
railroads themselves, and although the
bill has been bitterly attacked, the
public argument against it has been
confined up to this time largely to
single point. The unfairness of the
alleged railroad discrimination in ia
vor of the Twin Cities as at present
practiced has not been defended. The
one point that is insisted upon, and it
is strong one, is thar such a law
would make railroad competition i'm
| possible and work hardship, where
| there are two railroad lines of unequal
length between any two given points,

The old years gone his misty way;
the new years with US, brave and
gay. What will the new year bring,
We ask, as we pursue the daily task?
The answer to it all depends on d.
vers little things, my friend. If we
determine to do right, the year will
treat us pretty white, if we elect to
go astray, the year will soak US every
day. All years are pretty much the
same; they always play the same old
game; when ushered in they wear a
smile. and they snort around awhile,
and put some silver in our hair, and
then they're gone / don't know
where They play no favorites, the
years; and what we know of smiles
or tears depends upon the path we
take. and not on vows we make or
break. So live that when this year
is gone you may behold the next
years dawn with eyes serene, and
calmly say: 'sThe good old year
that slid away beat any year I've
lived through yet. for I've done
nothing | regret. Walt Mason.

The Next Speaker.

James Hay, Jr., writes in Human
Life for February as follows: He
Champ Clark is a great admirer Of
Theodore Roosevelt, although it is
doubtful if he and the former Presi-
dent ever worked together on po-
liticaI proposition. He likes Roose-
Yelts9or his energy and industry,
bat, in party matters, the admira-
ton and affection cease with start
ling and sudden abruptness.
I'm speech in Congress he once
said: 1t is claimed that Colonel
Roosevelt is better than his party.
This he could easily be without run
ming any risk of being translated,
after the manner Of Elijah, in a
chariot of fire by reason Of his good
ness. But, whatever his virtues,
whatever his faults, whatever else
he may be, he is not a Democrat. "
With Cannon about to lay down
the scepter of a power which will go
down in history as one of the chief
causes of political upheaval, it is
natural that there should be specu-
lation at the capitol as to how Clark s
record will compare with that of
the Gear from Illinois, You can
hear these questions any day:
"Will he be as good a Speaker as
Cannon?"
How will he do after Uncle Joe
is down on the foor?"
They can be answered only by
the things Clark will do, but there
is one safe bet: Clark will always
try to keep his party intact. He will
give instances of how the soft an
swer turneth away wrath, and he
would be the last man to try de
liberately to ALLEVIATE Democrat
from the fold of regularity. He j.
the original stick-together boy"
