Aim For Statewide Prohibition.

Sentiment against the legalized
saloon in Minnesota has crystalized
to the point where all the forces OPP
posed to the traffic should unite in a
determined fight for statewide pro-
hibition. The last fight for county
option proved that you cannot win
a victory against the well-organized
saloon interest by "sprinkling salt on
its tall" When the leaders in the
anti Liquor forces advertised far and
wide that the adoption Of county
option in itself would not mean the
closing Of a single saloon they only
succeeded in fooling many Of those
who would have voted for prohibi-
ton in a straight fight. The county
option convention Of March, 1910,
was the expression of prohibition
sentiment in Minnesota. The oppor-
tunity it presented in forcing the is
sue in the state was frittered away
by trimming politicians. Instead of
going ahead and doing something the
notwithstanding and hope killing pol
icy Of awaiting the action of the en-
envy was adopted. Then after the
liquor interests had manned and
armed both the old party "Dread-
noughts" and manipulated and cor
rallied nearly all the political forts
thruout the state under the flag of
truce of old party regularity, her.
ole stand was made by handful OF
the faithful that were yet untram-
melted, but the chances for winnino
an effective victory were gone.
Let us get together for straight
fight on the question of saloons OF
no saloons in the state of Minnesota
We believe majority in the stat.
are opposed to legalizing the traffic
Results in the 18th ward of Mime
apolis proves that even the people Of
the large cities are opposed to tn
traffic.
We are not opposed to county op
ton. We have fought as we'll as w
knew how for that cause, because W,
believed it meant county prohibition
We are for prohibition of the liquo
business for the individual, the city
the county, the state and the nation
But we believe that the state fgh
can be more easily and surely VOL
in straight fight for state prohibi
ton than by asking for anythin!
less. The straight issue is needed t,
establish a cleavage and force ever,
voter to take sides for or against.

A CASE FOR STANDING PAT.

q TAND PAT is a poker phrase Of little present honor in tariff
making, 1t may prove to be a maxim of credit and sound
policy in corporation regulation. The thing that President
Taft stands pat upon is the antitrust law. As clarified by the Fed
esl Supreme Court, the law mesns that "any combination in restraint
II trade with the purpose of controlling prices and sitting COMPETE
tou" is prohibited. The law has never had a chance because business
men thought it could not By enforced. Now, says Mr.. Taft, "the
lw can be and is being enforced" and many business men want it
repealed.
Is not advantage Of position with the stand-patterl He at
lest has . chart Of conduct, laid down with the national concur
renee . score Of years ago and brought up to date by the Supreme
Court The men who want the law repealed have changed their
ground and their flag within the year. At first they said "the rule
Il reason" was too favorable to Big Business; let Congress commit
The folly Of decreeing that even reasonable restraint of trade" should
not be. Now the same men want the law repealed, alleging, in the
words Of the Progressive Republican conference in Chicago, that
~the present condition of uncertainty in business is intolerable" and
declaring that industrial corporations should by affirmative legal
enactment be given definite rules of conduct"
Not all the wisdom Of the ages may be behind Mr.. Taft when he
stands pat on the antitrust law as it is. But how much support il
to be given men who in this year Of grace have gone on record al
demanding first that Congress decree unreasonable restraint of trade
and then that it ease up things for the sake of business2

His poiteness is due to refining association with women.
- He is much more apt to encounter a woman than a man.
The modern man has no stomach for a bout with a housebreaker,
feeling that the odds are against him, having the word of Pittburgh's
Chief'o Police that he should pull the bedcovers over his head and
do naught else.
Women, however, re not so amenable to reason. In defense Of
