Seniors i'm Trouble
High School Boys Get Gay on B
Medicine

A greatly to be deplored aft
has been under investigation
the school board during the
week. It appears that at a parry
given by the junior class last
Friday night in honor of the
seniors, and which is an annual
event, a number of the young
men of the class were afraid per.
haps that the affair would be too
tame for their highstrungnotions
of good time, and to prevent
this they smuggled some bottled
enthusiasm into the party, and
got outside of just enough of it
to be in the silly stage during
some of the proceedings, and af.
ter wards exhibited their hilarity
in an auto JOY ride along into
the wee sma' hours. The board
of education investiga ted the
matter, and on Monday suspend
ed four of the boys who acknow-
lodged their fault, and on Tues
day evening at an adjourned
meeting suspended two others
who were shown to be implicat
ed in the affair.
Out of respect for the families
with which the boys are connect
ed we refrain this time from
publishing the name of the delin.
quents, and trust that this re-
gretable affair may be a lesson
that will prove of service to them
through life.
The board has not yet decided
what punishment will be meeted
out to the offenders, but it is
certainly time thata check was
was put on affairs of this kind in
the public school.
The board has instructed the
states attorney to proceed with
complaint against the two saloon
keepers whom the boys say have
been in the habit of selling liquor
to them they and will be prose-
cuted.
The whole affair is a very re-
gretable one, but not an unusal
or unexpected one in a COM
munity that deliberately sets it's
seal of approval upon the saloon
as a useful and necessary institi-
tion of the city. There is always
some kind of reaping for a
sowing.

He's All Right.



1t is said that Edmund Cook
made a hurried trip home from
Milbank last Saturday before
any of the Wilmot delegates to
the Masonic gathering held here
the day before should get home
and have a chance to talk to Mrs.
Cook. 1t appears that while
Cook was off on one of his PEREZ
grinations, he arrived at the no.
tel pretty well tired out, and or.
dered a room that he might get
rested up for future proceed
ings, and getting the number of
the room, went up for a short
nap to what he supposed was the
number given him, but his eye
sight is not as acute, as it was
some years ago, and he mistook
an 8 for a 3, but proceeded to
prepare himself for a refreshing
nap. Just how long he had lain
there he could not tell, but it
was long enough for him to cross
the ocean and get back over for
ty years in his life, and again be-
come a young man in the Ger
man army fighting for the faith
erland. He had his saber out,
and was shouting "Hoch der
Kaiser!!' when he was suddenly
awakened by a sharp cry, and
woman's voice demanding of
him what he was doing in her
room. Cook rubbed his eyes,
and sitting up begged the lady's
pardon, asserting there must
be some mistake, as he supposed
he had engaged that room him
self. The lady saw the innocent
surprise on Mr.. Cooks open
countenance, and at once accept.
ed his explanations and apollo
gies. However, he thought it the
wisest plan to get home before
any of the Wilmot fellows should
arrive there, so that he would be
the first to tell the story to Mrs.
Cook. The latter lady has full
confidence in her hasband, but
it is asserted that she insists
upon him having his eyes exam
ined and fitted by competent
occulist before she will permit
him to go off on any more excur-
siOns.

THE SISSETON PLAN
III a saloon is u Profitable Thing, then
Let the Public Get the Benefit.

III a saloon is y Profitable Thing, then
Let the Public Get the Benefit.
E. F. Atwood; secretary of the
Socialist organization in Sisseton
writes the Herald-Advance as
follows in regard to the Sisseton
plan:
The Socialist ticket was elect
ed here April 21st because they
posse ssed strong organization
that is interested in law enforce
ment for it's political effect. We
do not believe in puplic enter
prises for private profit and SO
considered the saloon as fit sub
ject for municipal ownership,
when we found we must have
saloon. But we vote dry almost
to man. Last year, substi-
tute for municipal saloon was
inaugurated because of our pro.
paganda. It paid $4,000 in H.
censes and has already turned
back to the public $4,000. An
inspection of their books indicat-
ed intake of $4,000 and
a profit for the public of 100000.
Still the people did not fix their
attention on the profit, but on the
amounts diverted from other
lines of business. Lessened
trade, bad collections and non-
employment was laid to the sa-
loon. In the campaign, the
Socialists were pledged to mum
cipal saloon, if the city went
wet, so we got that vote. We
vote dry, SO the other drys put
up no opposition ticket. Then
the element who wanted saloons
for privat+ profit finally voted
dry. If there was nothing in it
for them, then they did not want
any either So the city went
Socialist BY II and dry by 80.
So, our experience is that, far
from fixing the saloon on the peo-
ple forever, it educates them to
see that any saloon is a tax and a
burden. It divides the wet vote
itself. Lessons the taxes? It
lessons our incomes and our abil-
1ty to pay taxes. 1t is freely
said here that the saloon is gone
forever. But you will also
need an organization of the cit
liens to back up your officers
when you do vote dry. You can
not elect good men and forget
them, except to find fault They
have business Of their own.
Every interested citizen must
held.
1 honestly believe the surest
way for Milbank to get rid of the
saloon entirely, is for two re-
sponsible business men, at least
one of whom is dry. to take out
the licenses, all of them. ii they
can get them. If necessary,
hold special election under the
Initiative and referendum to
direct the city council. Tho the
mere petition would doubtless
do the work. Let these men hire
a competent manager at good
salary, take his cash every night
and pay the bills. Keep the
purest liquors obtainable, obey
the law carefully and turn the
profit into the city treasury.
Publish a financial statement
quarterly, and see the people
open their eyes. In Neither
lands, they did not begin SO fight
for independence because 10000
people were tortured and put to
death arbitrarily, but when a one
per cent tax was laid on property
five per cent on real estate trans.
fers and ten per cent on
other sales. When you touch a
community's pocketbook, it
hurts. And the saloon is an
evil, a rohber of legitimate trade
and people do not know it yet,
except dimly. Educate them
with the municipal saloon.

HOME BURNS FROM LIGHTNING
Splendid Country Home Goes Up In
Smoke Friday, With Entire
Contents

The splendid country residence of
County Commissioner John d. Long.
three and half miles southwest OF
town, was struck by lightning about
ten o'clock last Friday might during the
electrical storm and was soon in a
sheet Of flames and beyond human aid.
The hoDse which consisted of twelve
rooms, and which was one Of the best
residences in the country together with
the new piano and other furnishings In
keeping Herewith, were soon mass of
smoldering ruins,
At the time of the fire Mr.. Long and
the two boys, Edward and Ralph, were
at home, the two former asleep. Ralph
had just finished bathing and was sit
ting up in bed when the lightning bolt
descended, passing down the side of the
wall near Mr.. Long, throwing the boards
in all directions and leaving a trail of
fire in its wake. Edward, who
partially stunned by the shock, was
aroused by the younger brother, and
they were soon all at work, the father
and older boy trying to eXtinguish the
flames and Ralph with great presence
of mind disconnecting and removing the
gasoline tank with which the lighting
system was supplied and securing some

also succeeded in getting the piano to
the door, but was unable to go further
with it, and the other two We're too
busy fighting the fire to lend any as
sistance, and it was later burned.
Mrs. Long was in town ready to take
the train the next morning for Lewiston
to attend the Normal commencement
exercises in which the daughter, Miss
Mamie took part. She was brought
home in the auto by John wilks, JUS
as the building was ready to fall in.
John Long ,Jr., who has a record as
a long distance sprinter, ran from town
home fearing that the brothers were at
home alone and would be burned. The
young man collapsed after his great ex-
ertfon. and was In a precarious condi-
tion for some time.
J The home carried insurance only to
the amount of 81, 400. This was the sec
J ond time within three years this house
had been struck by lightning. Mr..
Long will begin rebuilding at once.
