bering grievances and charges that
have been accumulating since the
movement started, but perhaps it is
all for the best. So far the drying OF
Minnesota has progressed in an or
derby way and with both sides playing
the game as it should be. However,
the proposed grand jury investigation
which some view in the light of an in
Fiction, may result in good.
Friends say that if James A. Pc
terson of Minneapolis again invades
the official field it will be as candi-
date for governor and not United
States senator, as some would have it.
Bob Dunn says that if Jim does an
nounce his candidacy he will have to
be for him.
State Auditor Preus, at a sale OF
state land in Roseau county recently
only disposed of 480 acres. Too much
water, he says, scared away prospec-
tive purchasers.
Moorhead buried it's saloons on the
night of June 80 and 5000 persons at
tended the obsequies. Bursting of
giant firecrackers, skyrockets illumi-
mating the heavens, streets crowded
beyond traffic control, sidewalks lined
with thousands of pedestrians and
turning of the clocks backward char
acteriZed the services.

more important objects. Former Con-
gresham Fred Stevens of st. Paul,
E.sH. McGarry of Cass Lake and Gov
elnors Hammond, they say, could tell
the whole thing better if they wanted
to. Mr. Stevens for United States
senator, Senator McGarry to supplant
Congressman Lindberg in the Sixth
district and Governor Hammond to
succeed himself is about the way it
spells. Mr.. Stevens, those aboard the
train say, always had the head of the
table, and Senator McGarry and his
friends never overlooked bet while
in the Sixth district counties. A
special car for his excellency, Cover
nor Hammond, was the drawing card
in his case.
1t was hoped that the campaign
now on to make Minnesota a saloon
less state through the medium of the
county option law would be without
the usual filth and mud singing, but
such, it seems, is not to be the case.
With Hennepin county as the prize
charges of corruption and bribery
have already been started and an in
vestigation by a grand jury has been
suggested. c.. j. Buell. of st. Paul, a
single taxer, who has been making a
living the past four years by securing
subscribers at 81 per book for pub
LEGATION containing alleged inside in
formation regarding the doings of
their representatives and senators,
has come out with statements to the
effect that bribery was attempted by
the liquor forces during the election
of speaker and while the county OPP
ton law was in progress of passage.
He names Representative Thomas
Tollefson of Dodge county as being
offered a bride of 5000 to vote for
Speaker Flowers and says further he
knows of another house member who
was offered $4,000 to defeat the coun-
ty option bill. Tollefson says the
charge is true and that any grand
jury that wants the necessary infor-
nation can have it. That corrupt
hACciio0o hS uiCo oulhlS IuC 4CSl0ld-
ture in the consideration of number
of matters is undoubtedly true, but
that both Buell. and Representative
Tollefson have real case in their
charges at this late date may be
doubted. If they had direct connec-
ton with all they say then the two
should be prosecuted for not inform
ing the proper authorities earlier. For
Representative Tollefson the legisla-
ture was available from the start and
as to Buell. he could have had the ben
eft of any number of grand juries
which have met since the incident oc-
Cured.

are the offenders, but the hundred and
one commissions and boards which
in the last fifteen years have been
Fastened upon the ship of state. In
ten years there has been just one adj
dition to the force in the governors
office, janitor; in the same period
only three new jobs have been created
in the office of secretary of state, and
in the auditors department eight new
jobs. The additions to the treasurer's
office number three and the state le-
gal department eight. Ten years ago
the public examiner also was bank
superintendent. Now there is diff
ferent department for banks and all
told 43 persons employed in the two,
as against eighteen a decade ago. One
of the early sops to organized labor
was the bureau of labor and indus
tries. Ten years ago its payroll con-
sisted of nine people. Today the list
of employees numbers 40 and it is still
growing. How employment is found
for some of the job holders mystifies
many. When the dairy and food de-
partment was housed in the old cap
itol fifteen employees were considered
ample. The number at the present
time is thirty-three. In the old days
the department of education was sat
isfied with five employees. The fig
ure is nearer twenty-five now. Other
additions to the growing army are:
Game and fish, seventy-five; oil in
spection, about 100; forest service,
nearly fifty; highway commission,
125, and boiler inspection, 65. Ten
years ago ten employees is all that
was necessary for the care of the old
capitol. Today there are 6S persons
on the custodian's payroll.
State Treasurer Smith annually
draws about 10000 checks and he
says that more than one-half of this
number goes to persons in the en-
ploy of the state. He has no exact
knowledge of the number of employees
but it is safe bet it is over 5000.
The state board of control employs
nearly $500 in the various state in
stitutions. The university furnishes
bread for another 1,500 and the state
railway and grain department for
about 400 more. These are the big
employees of labor. There are score
or more of other departments with
lists of from rs to so employees and
hundred more consisting of bears
and commissions which have any
where from five to eight. Truly the
whole thing is astounding and if you
wish to see for yourself just read the

Persons visiting the Rodefer Glass

its actual use was not ascertained. II
was stated that the large rolls would
be shipped 10 Sistersville. where they
will be put through a hattening proc

To manufacture the glass a special
equipment has been installed In the
