keeping for sale or disposing OF such
malt. This is not the exact wording
but it is substantially correct.

AS I pointed out beer is a malt
liquor, it has been so held by the
courts, and now in view of the fact
that the legislature, in attempting to
cuftall the sale Of malt, has passed a
law neither amendatory or without
relation to those laws which expressly
govern the sale of Intoxicating liquors,
what is to prevent any saloon from
selling on Sunday provided the pro-
prletor or druggist confines his sales
TO beer. He can even sell to a minor.
The manufacturer may even estab-
llsh agencies and they may be the
ollnd pigs complained of and they may
even extend to the houses of i'll fame
with which Minneapolis and St. Paul
are now infested. Following the sup
preston of the red light district in
Minneapolis parties interested in the
suppression of similar vice in ST. Pau1
approached former Attorney General
George T. Simpson with a. reouest
that he bring action to rid st. Paul of
the pest They were met with the an.
sWer Let the local authorities do
their duty first" Now, I understand.
If the question is again raised the
state and all others have a complete
alibi. Beer is the chief means of
livelihood of those conducting houses
OF i'll fame in the big cities and it's
sale is regulated under the head of
malt products, or to be exact, Senate
File No. 423. ooh, reform, how many
sins are committed in thy name"

Bruce w. Sanborn, a son of w. H.
Sanborn of the United States circuit
court of appeals, who fastened on
Minnesota the present railroad rate
decision, something that has so far
cost Minnesota nearly 100000 to up
set and the finish is by no means at
hand, can be truly called the "candy
kid" Bruce is running for the as
sembly on the Republican ticket IN
st. Paul and the distribution of candy
IS his main appeal to the voters. Like
candy?" is Mr.. Sanborn's introduce
ton to the voters. "Sure," is the an
sWer and then follows a handful of
breath purifiers and other forms of
sweetness. At the close the usual
campaign card is forthcoming and Mr..
Sanborn informs the voter that he
would like his support. This form of
campaigning is something new in ST.
Paul.

Minnesota's half hundred or more
dry towns and those active in push
ing the dry zone received a decided
setback when the supreme court held
that the license laws of the state onIv
apply to those engaged in the traffic
OF liquor in less than five gallon lots.
Wholesalers, it held, were exempt.
Inc case came from East Grand
Forks, which has been trying to stop
the sale of liquor in it's midst. In
terpreted, the decision means that
when brewer is prohibited from SELL
ing by retail in any municipality he
may establish a warehouse and sell
by the case. Under the decision there
IS no such thing as an absolute dry
territory. The state has only one form
OF liquor license and that applies to
the sale of intoxicants in less than
five gallon lots.

said. II am going to have the Sixth

to get a rise out of Sam

say was that he was satisfied. How.
