S|SSETON SALOON
Interesting Experiment in Try.
ing Out Municipal
Saloon.

Milbank. Dec. John G. Knapp,
mayor of Sisseton, while in town last
Friday, and talking Of the saloon CUES
tion in his town, said that there are
many people watching with consider
able interest the experiment of Sisse-
ton in granting license to only n
man who is paid a regular salary and
turns the profits of the business into
the city treasury and the good roads
association, half and half. While
there are those who object to having
the city go into the saloon business,
this ia nothing more than what the
city does under the license system,
with this difference in favor of the
Sisseton plan that instead of the
profits being divided between the
saloon keeper and the city, the whole
amount is turned over to the public.
and the bar keeper sharing zone of
the profits has no incentive to push
his trade by selling docto-ed liquors,
by selling to men alrsady drunken,
by selling at forbidden hours and
breaking the laws in other ways, in
fact his position as bar-keeper depends
upon his ~obervance of the requirements
OF the law, and there is 10 personal
gain or advantage to him to violate
the laws. city or state. If the saloon
is a necessary evil and men continu.
| ally vote il upon the community the
| Sisseton plan is better in every way
than the private ownership of the sa.
loon under a license for the personal
profit of the saloon keeper. Ii the
saloon is productive of public evil,
and this is not disputed by intelligent
people, then tie public should receive
any remuneration the institution hai
to offer for the evil that it produces.

cured n mile south of town.
DIR. B. W. LaShier and Thomas w.

miles from home. and as their car
was a substitute for one destroyed by
a garage fire in Mitchell the same day,
it was not equipped with lights.
They were feeling their way home
very carefully, when the first thing
they knew there was a horse on top of
the radiator and hood. The animal,
attached to a vehicle, was driven by
Frank Connors. a farmer residing one
mile south of town.

SHORT LINE
Brookings Will Canvass For The
Sale of Stock.

Brookings, Dec. IA series of mass
meetings and conferences has been
held in Bookings that may mean a
graf deal to the future of the city.
The commercial club has been negotiat-
ing for some time with a Minneapolis
company which is projecting a sub
urban railway line west of that city,
with a view of taking in a large exte Mt
of territory not now served by direct
line of road The company is seeking
a terminal in eastern South Dakota.
1t is known as the Electric Short
Line railroad, and a part OF the line
is already under process of construc-
tion, the company having secured a
valuable terminal property in the
heart of the business district of Min
neapolis. At the regular monthly
meeting Of the commercial club a
little wei two weeks ago E. d. Luce,
vice president of the company, ad-
dressed the members of the club, ex-
planned the plans of the company at
considerable length and invited the
club to send a committee of it's
members to inspect the property of
the company and its financial stand
ing. A committee of eight visited
Minneapolis on the 18th inst. and
examined the affairs Of tine company.
B~rookings has missed two or three
opportunities for getting competing
lines Of road and is now in dead earn
est in trying to land this most favor
able prospect. 1t has needed an outlet
south for these many years, but has
failed in getting one. IL it gets a
northeast outlet the south one will
come, for the Madison people had a
committee here at the last meeting
trying to induce the Luces to promise
to extend their line to that city.
The canvass for stock will begin i'm
mediately. The line is already eur
veyed into Brookings, and the company
wants to make the city a terminal.

Pierre dispatch: General attend
ance of both factions of the republican
and democratic parties at the state
proposal meetings in January is indi-
Gated by the published calls in the diff
ferent counties of the state for meet
ings Of both factions. La many cases
the democrats have issued but one call,
which is presumed to include both
the majority and minority factions,
while the republicans are issuing two
calls, n for each faction. The So
c~ialists and prohibitionists are calling
majority meetings in a few IF the
counties of the state, aud their repre-
~sentation in the state meetings will
probably be merely sufficient to bold
their party organization and patty
places on the ballot, as that is the
only method by which they can Sc
cure a party place.

Are Trustees.
These'are all matters Of vital do
nestle concern, and besides them,
outside the charmed circle OF our
own national life in which our af-
fcctions command lis, as we'll as our
conscienCes, there stand out our OBJ
legations toward our territories over

Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines, arc
ours, indeed, but not ours to do what
VIC please with. Such territories,
once regarded as mere possessions,
are no longer to be selfishly exploit
ed; they are part of the domain of
public conscience and OF serviceable
and enlightened statesmanship. We
must administer them for the people
who live In them and with the same
sense of responsibility to them as to-
ward our own people in our domest-
ic affairs. No doubt we shall sue
cessfully enough bind Porto Rico
and the Hawaiian Islands to our
selves by ties of justice and interest
and affection, but the performance
of our duty toward the Philippines
is more difficult and debatablc
matter. We can satisfy the obliga-
lions of generous justice toward the
people Of Porto Rico by giving them
the ample and familiar rights and
privileges accorded our own citizens
in our own territories and our Obli-
cations toward the people of Hawaii
by perfccting the provisions for self
government already granted them,
but in the Philippines we must Ego

and we must move toward the time
of that Independence as steadily as
the way can be cleared and the foun-
