NORWAY MAY GO WET AGAIN

Christiana, Nov. 2.-The Norweg-
ian press is making an almost un-
animous appeal to the government to
resclnd the prohibition ordinance
which was passed on the first excite
ment of the war to stop the sale of
strong alcoholic beverages.
The appeal for resembling the pro-
hibition act is based primarily on as
sertions that after more than two
months of prohibition, prohibition
has not worked. Persons who could
afford it have INDUCED extensively in
the Importation of strong liquors
from Denmark and Scotland. Indi-
viduals have combined to form "pri
7ate stock companies" and have
brought in thousands of gallons every
week. each person taking a keg or
two for private use. Among the
poorer classes complaint is made
that the prohibition law has created
worse conditions, promoting the con.
coction of such weird drinks and
self murder the name given to de-
naturalized alcohol Favored with oil
OF peppermint-and the cheapest
kinds of 80 called sweet wines, made
from chemical products, which new
er saw grapes.
The police reports in Christiana
show that the average number of ar
rests for drunkenness has been about
the same as before the ordinance was
passed, and in the meantime the gov
ernment loses revenue of $3.50 900 a
month. Outside of the Teetotal So
cieties the demand for resembling the
new law has gained such headway

MAIL ORDER TAXATION

Huron Huronite; In North Dako-
ia the wise men are endeavoring to
devise some plan of compensation by
which the mail order houses shall re-
coup the public for their untaxed
gains.
North Dakota estimates that &c..
100000 worth of goods is annually
brought into that state and disposed
of by non-residents. and that the
state is entitled to from $500, 600 to
S500,O00 in taxes on that class Of
commodities.
A wise thought and one that should
prevail. Every local dealer in that
state pays taxes upon the property
he handles, while the trader at some
far away center is exempt.
He can sell his wares to the con-
sumner at profits from which the taxes
have been deducted and the consumer
has to make up that which the trader
saves, the consumer and the local
trader.
North Dakota's problem is like
wise South Dakota's problem and 1t
is one worth putting up to the In
coming legislature.

WILSON is SUSTAINED

Denver, Colo, Nov. 10-Voters of
Colorado sustained President Wilson
In his efforts to settle the coal strike
when they returned three democrats
to congress and re. e.elected their dem
ocratic senator last Tuesday.
The striking feature of the election
was that these same voters repudiat-
ed the Ammons democratic admins
tration which permitted the Ludlow
massacre and other strike disorders
resulting in the murder and crema-
tion of thirty-four men, women and
children. With the exception of two
offices every democratic candidate
was defeated.
Labor won a splendid victory when
they elected District Judge Teller to
the supreme bench, thus defeating
Judge Campbell, who has been no.
torlously opposed to organized and
unorganized labor.
The faith of the people of Colorado
in the president is we'll shown by the
vote for United States senator. While
the disgust of Colorado citizens with
anarchistic rule of the Ammons dem
ocratic administration led them to
elect republican governor by vote
Of 121 ,061 to S7,5s3. the voters return
ed the present democratic United
States senator, Charles S. Thomas,
by vote of 94, s34 to 90,173.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS

A summary of the legislative mem
bers selected for the next session

than have been seated for many years
In fact probably a greater number
than for any former session in South
Dakota. The house list shows nine
teen selected, with a tie between a
democrat and republican in Miner
county to be settled; making another
possible. Tie senate shows ten Civ
ing them total of thirty members in
two houses.
The return of 2. j. Tscharner of

getting through in that county,

BIG SHIPMENT OF HORSES

Twelve carloads of fine, western
horses, purchased west of the river,
were shipped from this point over

there transferred oyer the Great
Northern road enroute to Winnipeg.
There were $50 horses in the ship
ment and was a part of bunch of
twenty cars of horses purchased by
English authorities to be shipped
for cavalry and artillery horses.
This class of horses is desirable on
account of their ruggedness and en-
durance.
