County Option.

The liquor problem must be
handled, but it must be handled prac-
t1cally. The trouble with county op-
ton as it is now proposed is that it is
neither fair nor practical.
County option makes a good deal
of noise in Minnesota, and seems to
have a good many followers. Yet
there is no evidence yet that the state
is determined upon getting it. Four
years ago a Democrat, Mr.. Gray, ran
TOR governor on a county option
platform, and was beaten. This year
Mr.. Lee, a Republican, ran for gov
ernor on county option platform,
and he also was beaten.

Chuckling at his philosophy. the
grizzled Waterman continued on his
round of inspection.
Killum soon finished with the gold
coin and he began replacing the money
in the trunk. handling the packages
with his left hand and checking of
the items on Mr.. Babb's inventory
with his right. Presently he turned
and stared blankly at Mr.. Babb, who
still occupied his stool near the pay
ing window.
II don't find the twenty-four thou
sand dollar bills which you show on
your list" he said.
Mr.. Babb was not greatly disturbed
He did not even quit his stool. The
strap of thousand dollar bills was
there all right. He had counted
it twice since lunch time. Here was
a chance to take the young man down
a notch.
Guess you've been a little careless,
Mr.. Kllum." he said serenely. THE
moneys there all right. Better check
it off again-a little slower this time
maybe. Try the old mans pace for a
while"
Sitting an angry retort. Killum
turned to the trunk again. He re-
moved the money once more and
placed it in stacks by denominations
on the table, carefully searching
through each pile for the missing
twenty-four certificates

in the lot. Mr.. Babb." ne announced

Mr. Babbs hands trembled as h
paved through the stacks OF money
With an effort he steadied himself an
made a more methodical search, whic'
finally extended the length an
breadth of the cage.
Arthur Kllum made no further ef
fort to find the missing bills. II
