PROHIBITION And
PARTY CANDIDATES
4 Clsar-Gut Statement From the kDi-Saaoa
League Shows kT, Payne Up Badly In
Eyes of The Temperance Advocates,

1t was my pleasure as web as my
duty to address two questions to each of
the candidates for Senate and House of
Delegates in this campaign by order Of
the Anti-Ssloon League Of Virginia as
TO their position On certain proposed
Temperance legislation. es follows:
FIRST: VIII you, or will you not, vote
for a law referring the question Of
Statewide prohibition TO a vote of the
whole State when IS many as one-fourth
Of the voters shall SO petition?
Second: viii you, or will you not,
vote to limit liquor Dealers license to
the territory IN which the license is
granted. thus preventing the jug trade
10 drg territory?
To these questions Hon. J. Powell
Royal and Rev. C. r. Brown. candi-
dates for the Senate, and Hon. S. P.
Mustard, candidate for the House of
Delegates, gave emphatic, unequivocal,
affirmative answers; therefore, all tenn
perarce people can feel perfectly as.
suTed that the vote Of any of these

favor of the great temperance issue
presented in this campaign.
However, regret to say, that the
Hon. w. P. Payne's answer does not
meet the issue, and does not answer
either of the questions. His answer is
Ss follows:
''If elected to the legislature on
November Z, 1911, I will endeavor
70 represent my constituents to the
best of my ability, and carry out
their wishes as best can"
No representative in the legislature
from this county since the agitation of
the temperance question by the Anti
Saloon League has ever waivered in his
support of all temperance measures
brought before the legislature. This
answer of the Hon. ". P. Payne is the
first evasion on the temperance ques-
tion. Temperance people are bound to
ask: What does it mean?"

exalted Office come to him as the re-
suit of years of study and practical
experience in the making of tariff
measures. 1t is doubtful if more
capable and highly trained expert
Democrat, Whig or Republican
ever attained to the position and GER
tain it is that none before him has
ever welded so much power. For, be
it known. the Ways and Means Com.
mittee is also the Committee on Com
mittees in the Sixty second Congress.
Therefore. as chairman, he practical
ly directed the appointmentsto allother
committees-a right which vested in
the Speaker of every Congress from
the Second to the present one-and
so wisely was the work done that
those who hastened to censure are now
glad to praise.
In the past few months. Mr.. Un-
derwood has taken the country by the

Nebraskan come out second best; in
the latter encounter, at least, was he
called anything but truthful person
in as highly polished and categorical
language as parliamentary usage
would permit. In Underwood has
Bryan found one man worthy of his

Oscar w. Underwood, Leader
of the House.

Descendant of a proud race. Oscar
W. Underwood is the intellectual sup
erior of those of his forbears who
have figured prominently in American
history and is probably blessed with
more of the genius of leadership than
was any other chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee since the Civil
War. This may read like heresy to
the admirers of William L. Wilson,
WillamsR. Morrison. Samuel J. Ran
dali, Roger @. Mills, William Nc
Kinley. and Nelson Dingley. but if
they will readjust their spectacles and
analyze the facts they will be forced
TO admit there is justifc alton for the
statement.
Mr.. Underwood is credited with
being better Informed on the tariff
than any other living Democrat. This
reputation is not entirely due to the
fact that he is chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee of the lower
House of Congress; rather has the

in the methods of the State officials.
Minnesota is the gateway to the great
Northwest. 1t is an agricultural en-
pire. 1t is only a question of brief
time when it's prairies will fill with
sturdy citizenship, as sturdy as that
of its present towns and cities. 1t
is up to the State now to keep an eye
on the men whom it has entrusted
with the protection of it's public lands.
If this is not done, the advancing
settler will pass across Minnesota's
borders into more inviting fields. -

Mayor Dumas Accused Of Conspiracy
to Rob Postoffice.

to Rob Postoffice.
A new angle was added to the affairs
in which Dr. D. F. Dumas, mayor of Cass
Lake, has been the stellar light, by the
entrance into the affair of the United
States authorities, who through the
district attorneys office at St. Paul
had DR.. Dumas brought before H. A.
Simons of Bemidji, United States
commissioner for the district, to an
swer to the charge of conspiracy with
Mike Davis and Martin Behan to rob
the postoffice at Puposky.
The doctor was accompanied by his
attorney, Judge Spooner of Bemidji;
his father, Frederick Dumas of Min
neapolis, and J. w. Johnson of Cass
Lake DR.. Dumas waived examina
tion and Judge Simons fixed bail at
$4,000 for his appearance at the term
of the United States district court at
Fergus Falls in November. Bail was
furnished, with Frederick Dumas and
J. w. Johnson as sureties.

Another "obscure newspaper" has
been found knocking the last Mime
sofa legislature. In this weeks issue
Golfers Weekly say editorially -
"Once more let US impress upon
the people of Minnesota the fact
that their public lands are not going
into the hand of farmers. There was
slipped through the last Legislature
a law removing all requirements from
buyers, making of the State specu-
lators' paradise. The public in
terests and timber companies, the
Steel Trust, and some officials draw
ing salaries from the people are ac-
quiring, and will further acquire,
vast tracts of land for an advance in
price. This will saddle the burden
of speculative value on the settler. in
addition to the burden of the cost of
clearing the land, and will of itself
discourage settlement. The object
of the States policy is naturally to
put the land in the hands of the set
tier as cheaply as possible, and thus
encourage the development of it's
resources and the Individual owner
ship of the land. The present State
Highway Commission is doing COM
mendable work but in the past the
people of Minnesota have spent vast
sums of money for roads without an
actual present value of more than ten
T per cent of the amount invested. Re-
cent laws have bettered road condi-
tions. Those who have demanded that
Minnesota apply modern methods of
community settlement, of pushing
the roads in before the settler. of
helping him if need be, have been
howled down as fanatics. The set
tier who has gone on to State lands.
far from railroads and schools, with
out roads or neighbors, on the pro-
mise of conditions shortly being bet
tered, has been sore'y disappointed.
There has been no intelligent vision

CLAPP CENSURES PRESIDENT
Calls Taft's Action on Statehood Bill
Attempted Bribery.

The action of President Taft on the
Arizona statehood bill, eliminating the
recall of the judiciary, was denounced
as an attempt at the bribery of the
people by Senator Clapp of Mime
sofa at banquet given by the Direct
Legislation league at San Francisco.
What shall we say of a policy to
force an electorate to foresWear it's
convictions as the price of admission
to the Union?" he said. "It savors of
the dark ages. It is an attempt at the
bribery Of the people. There are two
cases of bribery now being investigat-
ed by the senate, yet in the face Of
that, there is an attempt to bribe a
whole people. The insult to the peo-
pie of Arizona will react on the op-
ponents of the recall finally and will
do much to further the recall of the
judiciary throughout the United
Suites.
"The fight against the recall of the
judiciary is the last stand of the spe-
cial interests
Senator Clapp also attacked the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law, advocated
womens suffrage and outlined the
benefits to be derived from the pas
sage of the initiative, referendum and
recall amendments to the constitution
of California, which will be voted on
Oct. 10.
In commenting on Senator Clapp's
speech Governor Eberhart vigorously
denied that President Taft is a reac-
tionary or that he stands for the in
terests as against the people.
Morris tribune., 1911-09-08

The St. Cloud Journal-Press is re-
sponsible for the following. We COM
mend it to the attention Of our
thoughtful readers -
If Canadian reciprocity is approved
by Canada, the American millers
will have to advance the price of
wheat to get any Of the Canadian
crop. For the past few months the
price at Winnipeg has been only from
two to six cents below the price at
Minneapolis and the freight from
Winnipeg to Minneapolis is about nine
cents. The price of cash wheat at
Winnipeg for the past few days has
been practically the same as at st.
Cloud. There have been several days
in the past season when the farmers
of North Dakota and the northern
section of Minnesota could have re-
ceived more for their wheat in Win
nipeg than in Minneapolis. had there
been no tariff barrier. And there is
quite as much reason to expect an ad-
vance in the price of wheat, as the
reverse under reciprocity, when the
American mills get to fighting again
for the foreign market, and have to
bid against the millers of the Domin-
ion, who will naturally strive to re-
tain what has been good thing for
them. However, the amount raised.
year by year, in the two countries.
will change conditions, and no man
can tell just what effect reciprocity
will have upon grain prices-except
the general proposition that a free
exchange of products will be a good
thing for both countries, and will save
the American and Canadian people the
millions they now pay to their re-
spective governments for the privilege
of swapping products.
