come of 81 900 a month. (There
are many who do not take in half
that 20 saloons at 1000 a
month amounts to $40. 900 a month.
What becomes of the balance?
The blind pig is credited with the
rest.
The blind pig" can also be
curbed without voting the town
dry. Whether these figures are
correct, we cannot say as we have
no chance to get at the exact
amounts disbursed by the various
employers of labor nor the amounts
taken in over the bar of the 20
places up town and the hundred or
more in the locations under the
guise of clubhouses.
1t will be up to the people to de-
eide whether they want licensed
places or speak easys", drug
stores, holes-in- the-wall" and
blind pigs" of all kinds.
The owners of real estate in the
city are also in a quandry as to
what will happen to values in case
the town goes dry.
Twenty business places would be
assured of idleness and the value
would depreciate accordingly. A
town with twenty vacant business
houses would be considered a dead
town. Others are of the opinion
that other lines of business would
fill the vacancies. Did you ever
stop to think how badly the mer-
camille business is already shot in
Ely, and can you think of any
branch that is not abundantly sup
piled, in fact, overdone?
1t will be we'll for those voting
on the proposition to think of all
of these things before they cast
their ballots.
If you believe you are right, 60
ahead. Talk the matter over how
ever, give everyone chance to ex-
press their opinion.
The man who believes in liquor
has the same rights as the fellow
who don't, and vice versa. Give
everybody show, the saloonman
who has his all invested in the
town, the temperance man who has
his all invested in the same town,
are the builders of the community
and make it possible for neighbors
to exist. We need all classes of
people to make a community.
Think, before you vote either for
or against.

THE papers of the state that
were loudest for the elimination
farce pulled off in Minneapolis Fri
day will now proceed to yell them
selves hoarse over the candidate
for governor named by the meet
ing. % Already, a great many
of the staunch supporters of the
new machine" program are say
ing Bah, what's the use," and
are accusing Lee of having framed
up the affair for his own good
Lee certainly would have been
about 81 varieties of a chump not to
have worked for all he could get.
In this he showed much commend
able acumen for which he should
be given credit. If the eliminated
ones will now keep out, the pri-
mary will probably decide whether
it is to be the old machine" or
the new one.

THE decision of the supreme
court in upholding the provisions
of the non-partisan primary law
meets with favor. The decision
was rendered Friday. County and
legislative candidates will have
their names on the ballot without
any party designation. Why a
man seeking an Office that is more
or less clerical should be compelled
to state his tariff or free trade ideas
or whether he is Republican or
Democrat never has been apparent.
In national affairs we believe how
ever in a strict party designation.

In the week ending March IA,
1000, 900 pounds of Argentine beef
were shipped to this country under
the free trade conditions. Itwould
naturally follow that with these
enormous shipments weekly, the
price of beef would come down but
when it is considered that the Chi
oago packers control the Argentine
beef supply, the maintenance of
the high prices is easily explained.
That the packers will not let the
imports undersell the domestic'busi-
ness is a foregone conclusion.
Will we get cheaper beef under
free trade?

A TOWN named Tenaffly in Ne,

A TOWN named Tenaffly in New
Jersey has a board of protectors
who recently made public and
posted a jag list and now there is
something doing in that little old
city. Everybody is discussing
the time worn old question, When
can a man legally be called drunk"
Those on the list are bitterly pro-
testing against the action of the
board and claim they have been
degraded by the posting of the
list. The board holds that the
posted men degraded themselves.
It is very evident that even in New
Jersey as we'll as everywhere else a
crime is not a crime until it is
found out and made public.

WET OR DRY?

To Be or Not to Be" is the
question now uppermost in the
minds of the citizens of Ely. The
proposition as to whether the city
will join several of the Minnesota
towns that have voted out the
saloon licenses this spring or
whether it will remain in the license
column, will be up for a ballot on
April 7th.
The drastic and far reaching eff
fects of the wet or dry proposition
have only become apparent during
the past few days. When it was
first announced that the petition
putting the question on the ballot
had been filed, there was little talk
as to the final outcome. During
the past week the discussion has
waxed warm and the popular
opinion to day is that the question
has an equal chance either way.
The opinions as to the exped-
iency of the question vary accord
ing to the moods of those debating
the subject.
Many were working under the
delusion that licenses at present in
force would be allowed to run out
their allotted time. Such is not the
case and if the vote goes in favor of
the dry proposition the life of the
license ceases at once and the coun-
Gil can return the unearned portion
of the license, or keep it, just as
they choose.
Others again are of the opinion
that the sale of liquor in quantities
would be legal as at present, and
that only the retailer would be af-
fected. The statutes are very ex-
plicit on this subject and says:
The sale of such liquor in
any quantity whatever is also
forbidden in any town or
municipality in which a major
ity of votes at the last election
at which the question of
license was voted upon shall
not have been in favor of
license"
From this it can be seen that the
town would needs be absolutely
dry.
Then there are those that argue
to vote the town dry at once and
next year again vote for the issue
of licenses and thus bring the num-
Der of saloons in town to the re-
quired number of one for each 500
people.
The city council has it in its
power under the present law to
bring the number of licenses down
to the requi.ed one for each 500
inhabitants. The council is not
compelled to issue a license to
every man applying for the same.
They can however issue licenses
in Ely to the amount of %. At
present we have 20.
The statistical fend has gotten
busy and figured that out of 1884,
900 disbursed in Ely monthly,
over half goes for booze.
That the larger part of the drink
money goes to Golfers outside of
the saloon, can also be figured.
We will allow each saloon an in

CAUSED BY OVEREATING

Deficient gastric secretion, meaning
lack of the fluids necessary for
digestion, is a prevalent condition.
You may have it now and not know il
because you are able to get along
without actual discomfort even with
your enfeebed digestion,
But If you overeat-then you are
in trouble. You have indigestion be-
cause you have given your weakened
stomach too much to do. The de-
ficient gastric secretion was what doc
tors call the predisposing cause, the
overeating was the exciting cause. 1t
is easy not to repeat the overeating,
but the predisposing cause must be
corrected If you are to be well.
The secretions that digest the food
come from glands that are nourished
directly by the blood. When these
secretions are insufficient the only
way to restore their healthful con-
dition is by building up the blood.
This can be done by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, the nonalcoholic tonic that
