Sale Regulation Bill is Prepared
by the Government Com
l1fttee of Norway.

CHRIsTIAN1A, Norway, Dec. is -.
A bill restricting and regulating the
sale OF liquor has been prepared BY a
government committee, and as It has
the support Of thirds or the mem
.bers OF the newly-elected Norwegian
parliament, It will soon be enacted
into law. 4 n &
Total prohibition has been rejected
by the committee as impossible to en-
force and detrimental to real temper
ance. But It Is felt that the sale Of
strong liquors should be strictly con.
trolled. Beer contains less than
three per cent of alcohol is regarded
not only as harmless, but q benefi-
cia1 drink. Light wines will also be
favored. The strong drinks win be
dealt with according to their relation.

Official Paper OF the City of New Ulm

Loafing at the Post Office seems
to be the order of the day. Half-grown
girls and boys frequent the post office
not only Sundays, but evenings and
ate at night, and succeed in making
veritable nuisances of themselves. The
young boys seem to find this a very
convenient place to smoke their cigarettes
1t seems to us that the post-office is
shere for the transaction Of public
BUSINESS, and should not be allowed
70 become loafng place for children
Who ought to be at home. 1t should
af course be the duty Of their parents
70 know where their children are, but
as long as they do not seem to remember
shat that is duty that devolves upon
ahem it should be made somebody
slse's duty to see to it that they are not
permitted to loaf and loiter in the lobby
" the post-office.

CHANGING THE SUBJECT.

The discovery Of an alleged anarchist"
plot to blow up the Rockefelle1s,
Carnegie and Cornelius Vanderbilt, to
DOT New York banks and inaugurate
:'reign of terror" there f good story,
anyhow, even if it isn't-as it probably
Jsn't-a true one Moreover, it falls
lETto the news hopper just at the right
moment to distract attention from the
Congressional Committees denunci-
alton of the Rockefeller's murderous
use OF gunner in their Colorado coal
mines, their fragrant violation of Colo
-ado's labor laws, and their debauch-
nent, through hired managers, Of the
,ivil courts Of Colorado. 1t is possible
shat a group Of New York's desperate
social agitators have lent themselves
70 a sensational attempt to jar the
public mind into recognition Of the
misery of the multitude OF unemployed
, BY blowing up one or more public build
ngs The conditions in several of
aur larger cities during the past winter
have been ripe for violent outbreaks,
End it is to b. doubted if the couli-r:y
could go through another such winter
without having to face something OF
his kind. 1t IS, however, more likely,
n this particular instance, and in view
G the alleged participation in the plot
by detectives, that the expose was
not only ''detected'' but plotted by the
sleuths.

The seaman bill which has Just
been enacted into law, raises the stan
dard of seamanship. It requires that
40 per cent of the crew on deck must
be able seamen, and this percentage
will be raised during a period of five
years until IS per cent will be able
seamen. 1t also provides that Is per
cent OF the crew in each department
must be able to understand the language
of the officers of the ship. This is done
to prevent the manning of ships wholly
by Lascars or Chinese. The firemen,
the hardest worked men, of the crew,
will hereafter have an 8-hour day.
In addition to all this the American
seaman will have right to quit the
ship when she is safe in port. It may
not be generally known, but up to the
present time under existing laws the
seaman had no right to quit the job
when the vessel was safe in port but
was subject to seizure by the authorities
to be placed aboard the ship again
for the return trip. Under the new
law the sailor has right to demand
half his wages when the ship is in port
and he can quit his job by sacrificing
the rest of the money due him without
fear of being arrested as criminal and
compelled to sail with the ship. In the
matter of the public safety not as much
was done as the seamen demanded in
their bill. As the law stands now,
vessels keeping within the 2O-mile limit
must only have IS per cent life boats
and IS per cent RATS. This means
that 80 per cent of the passengers and
OF the crews in case of an accident, must
trust to life preservers or any old thing
to save their lives. This is certainly
all wrong and something should be done
soon to correct it. Possibly few more
disasters like the sinking Of the Titanic
will be necessary before the lawmakers
see the errors of their ways and an
aroused public forces them to action.

The late Justice p. E. Brown Of the
State Supreme Court who died suddenly
at St. Paul February 9th of heart dis
ease, left an estate amounting in all to
nearly $25O,OO0. Practically the en-
tire estate consists of farm lands in
Rock, Pipestone and Cottonwood Coun-
ties. The estate is left in trust for
period of fifteen years, the income of
it going to his wife and daughter. After
the death of his wife the daughter will
inherit the whole estate.

FORECAsTING THE ELECTION

Less than month from now the
city election of the city of New Ulm
will be ancient history. Altho the
election is less than month away,
very little activity has manifested itself
in the election so far. The aldermen,
whose term of Office expires at this time
are Fred Hamann of the LIST ward;
Theodore Mueller OF the End ward and
Fred Pfaender of the Sd ward. On
account of his appointment to the
office OF postmaster of the city of New
Ulm, Fred Pfaender is not going to be
candidate for reelection. Because
of this fact the voters Of the Sd ward
have considered possible candidates more
than any other ward in the city and
so far the names of L. B. Krook, John
Langmack and Chas. Arbes have been
mentioned. 1t is very possible that
none of these gentlemen have heard
of the fact that their names are being
discussed and this may be their first
intimation that they are being dis
cussed for aldermanic honors. 1t might
be we'll for them to declare their wishes
in the matter as early as possible,
so that their friends can look around
for somebody else in case no one of
them wants the honor. All are good
men and would be most acceptable
candidates.
In the End ward the name of Fred
johnson would make an ideal candidate
for alderman of the city. He has
for some time taken a keen interest in
civic affairs and has just enough spare
time from his business, so that he would
be able to be of considerable service
to the community. Whether or not
he can be induced to run, is of course
question. 1t is hardly probable that
any opposition will develop to Frederick
Hamann of the LIST ward. He is Just
completing his first term and he has
shown himself during the last two
years and especially the last year as
man who has good judgment and is
not afraid to express his opinions and
vote according to his convictions.

That New Jersey badly needs the
recall of it's judiciary was demonstrated
recently by a decision of the Supreme
Court of that state upholdlng the
conviction and sentence of Patrick E.
Quinlan, thereby killing the constitu-
tional right of free speech. Quinlan
vas tried and convicted for some alleged
remark at meeting of strikers in
Patterson two years ago. Whether
ae actually said what he is charged
% have said is entirely immaterlal.
It is not claimed that he libeled anyone
IT in any way caused anyone to be
uniawfllly injured. The case turned
upon whether in the opinion Of the
judges he really should have said
what he did. No speech is safe while
officials are allowed to pass upon it in that
way. In unfolding this process, the
Supreme Court of the state has injured
the public welfare far more than the
most incendiary speaker could have
possibly done.

To Amend New County Option
Law

A bill amending the county option
law, now chapter % Of the laws OF 1913,
to exempt Minneapolis, St. Paul and
Duluth from its operation, will be IN
troduced in the senate late this after
noon by Senator E. J. Westlake OF Min
neapolis. He will do this on the grounds
that while it might be possible to get a
majority for county prohibition in Hen
nepir county, it would not be possible
to do 50 in Ramsey; that the result
would be hyl ocrisy and blind pigs
in Minneapolis, and the congestion
of liquor business in St. Paul; and that
there would be no adequate machinery
for the enforcement of prohibition IN
large cities. Moreover, Senator West
lake said that he believed his bill could
be put through.

The passage of the County Option
bill is another instance of the centrali-
cation of power. 1t has a tendency
to curtail and destroy the liberties of
people. There is absolutely no reason
why a community of so or more persons
who desire to have public saloon,
should not have that privilege as long
as they are not interfering with the
rights and privileges of other people.
Under the law, as passed this right is
denied those people and if a sufficient
number of people outside of the par
ticular municipality can be found who
are in favor OF voting the county dry
they can by casting enough votes force
people to do what they think is fair.
To our mind liberty is more precious
than human life and nothing should
be done which has tendency to de-
stroy it. This tendency of having the
power Of the people centralized in either
the state or national government is
therefore not to- be encouraged. It
is undemocratic to take away from
the people the right to look after their
own police regulations, and give them
into the hands of the state or national
government.

be given the right to determine these
things for themselves and we would
suggest that the constitution of the
state be SO amended that the cities have
a right to adopt home rule charters
and provide all those things in their
own charters which they want. In
such home rule charters might be in
sc-ibed the right to purchase and own
real estate which the cities might sell
to their own citizens to give them
chance to provide homes for them
! selves as they do in a great many of
the cities in Germany; at the present
time everybody in the community
contributes to the upbuilding of the
community and the increase of value
in the lots and other real property
If the City of New Ulm had the right
to purchase property and erect houses
thereon which they could sell TO their
own citizens at rental per month
which would be sufficient to pay the
property in full, so that the purchaser
would own it say within 10, 20 or 80
years, it would have tendency to draw
people to New Ulm and would in the
next five years increase the population
by at least 300O This cannot be done
because there is no provision in the
laws pertaining to municipalities,
giving this right. Such home-rule
charter would also give the citizens an
opportunity to look after their own
police regulations, and we are satisfied
in our own minds that this would be
accomplished more effectively than
it is now under the present state laws.
There seems to be no reason why such
a home-rule charter should not give
to the communities the right of home
rule in matters of taxation. Any To-
cality should have the right to adopt
any system of taxation it sees fit. At
the present time the person who leaves
his land vacant and unoccupied, pays
a lower rate of taxation than the man
who improves it and by the improve
ments that are being made. the one
! who has spent no money and time to
improve his property, will reap the
benefits Of the increase incumbent.
This is all wrong, and communities
should be given an opportunity to
tax the unused land to such an extent
that those who own the property,
will either put up buildings thereon,
or dispose of the lands to someone
who will.
