Lobeck In His Speech
Dopes Out Dry State
Continued From Page One.

however, That the only effective way
to keep out the saloons was by state
and national prohibition.
The speaker said that over a
hundred candidates fof the state leg.
islature had signed written state
ments, pledging themselves to vote
for a state prohibition law.
Predict Dry State.
He stated that there was no doubt
that the time was not far distant
when Minnesota would be a prohibi.
ton state. He told how he had re.
Gently been informed that William
Hamm, the famous st. Paul brewer,
had informed his men taht within the
next five years they would be obliged
to seek other jobs. And" said the
speaker. May God speed the day"
Mr.. Lobeck said one anti-prohibi-
zionist recently remarked to him that
1t was foolish to enact a prohibition
law before the people were educated
up to II. Mr.. Lobeck said II was
about as reasonable to say that there
should be no law against horse-steal-
ing. because horses were being con-
tlnually stolen In spite OF II, and the
people were not educated up to the
point OF not stealing horses.
Hit EN- In the Stomach.
The speaker told a story about
Mayor Eustis Of Minneapolis being
called upon about score of years
ago by a delegation OF prominent
citizens to push through the council
an ordinance forbidding bicyclists
from riding on the sidewalks within
certain limits in the city. He said
he was afraid public sentiment would
not support such a measure and the
people we're not educated up to t..
But the very next day he was struck
In the stomach by a bicycle and
knocked into the gutter. The result
was that he went to his Office and
drafted the very ordinance that the
delegation had urged upon him, and
he urged the council to pass II.
When you want some public senti.
ment to support you in a reform, T"
said the speaker, ''hit one OF the
officers In the stomach"
Raped "elind Officials"
Mr.. Lobeck said many people ar.
que that under prohibition there were
sure to be "blind pigs" He said the
trouble was due to a blind mayor, a
blind council and a blind police force.
IL the people would elect officers
with eyes the "blind pigs" would be
discovered and rooted out.
Contribution envelopes were passed
among the people, the speaker sug.
costing that each give one dollar, or
pledge himself for that amount. quite
a number responded to this appeal.

will pit himself against the best
ten men that can be found among
the ranks OF the old soldiers who
fought in the Civil war. Colonel
Smith proposes to run ten miles
against the ten men, each of whom
will run one mile. The state fair

the occasion and every G. A. r.

athletic stunts. Colonel Smith, Who
is in charge of the messenger serv-
ice at the Cadillac, in years past
has met and vanquished all corners
at national G. A. r. encampments,
from the time there were several
hundred contestants until now when
there are not more than twenty
five at most. In order to keep the
athletics going as long as possible,
Colonel Smith proposed to run against
ten men, since no one man would
consent to compete against him, and
he is training every day, so that
the boys will know they have been
in a race" as he says.

or the 100000 which is
under control Of the legislature, the
opportunity for saving is inviting at
first glance, but more and more per-
picking as one studies II further.
The state has been spending around
100000 a year for new buildings
and betterments. Perhaps that can
be held to an arbitrary limit to
say a million dollars a year and
let the improvements take their
turn. Under the budget system IL
will be possible to figure on that.
Where next?
Not in the courts. No legislature
is going to reduce the number of
judges or their pay. That's about
100000. Not in grain inspection.

not paid from the state treasury

from the state and does not pass
through the treasury. There are
two items where saving is possible
on the face of II, one of which
would not help the states balance

Where else? In all the other de-
partments, If any saving is possible

Man murdered his wife! Crazed
with dope" he heard somebody say,
and pushed to the open door of the
house.
Upon the bottom step James lay.
There was a bullet wound somewhere
in his body, and he was drenched
with blood And at the top stood the
drug-crazed mailman, brandishing
his revolver and shouting defiance to
all who dared to try to take him.
Hogan did not pause "just an in
slant" He did not pause at all. That
is not the way of the police. Up the
stairs he ran, three at a time, and as
he reached the middle of the flight he
felt an odd twinge in his leg and
heard the crack Of the revolver. An
other bullet spun past his shoulder.
Hogan felt that sudden twinge-in-
his right arm this time. The night
stick dropped from his hand-and he
caught it in his left.
Another bound and he was upon
the mailman, who was fighting like
fury. He swung the empty revolver
down upon Hogan's head with thud
that feIled the patrOlman to the floor.
Then, with yell, the maniac had
darted up the stairs.
Hogan looked down. He saw the
frightened mob around the door. He
tried to, rise, but his limbs failed him,
and he lay there, wondering whether
he was paralyzed and why he couldn't
get on his feet.

threats below. Hes fired the

The sight Of him seemedNto give
Hogan new vigor. He got on his
feet and began ascending the stairs.
AS he went up he found that he had
unconsciously picked up his night
stick.
He never knew how he reached the
upper floor. But when he got there
the mad man was too busy to notice.
him, for he was standing over a Voc
mans body and chUckling as he
watched the spreading flames. With
his last reserve strength Hogan leap
ed the man and brought the night
stick down upon his head. He fell
like stricken OK.
Hogan picked up the body Of the
woman and staggered down the
stairs with her. He saw that she was
still living. The bullet had only
pierced her arm, but she was as I'M
conscious as though the blow which
Hogan dealt had fallen on her own
head.
A roar of cheering greeted him as
he carried the woman out into the
street. Men fiocked around him and
tried to grasp his hand. But Hogan
turned and made his way slowly
back into the burning building. They
tried to stop him. He pushed them
away.
Up, up he went, through drifting
clouds of smoke and scorching fire.
Now he was on the upper floor again
and had picked up the body, of the
drug-crazed man. He swung him in
his arms, but the weight was too
heavy and Hogan pulled him down
the stairs after him, wrapped in his
own tunic.
The smoke filed his nostrils and
Hogan dared not breathe, because
as all fre-f1ghters know, an inhala-
ton Of flames consumes the body
within and kills more swiftly than a
bulIet in the brain. He held his
