This is where much of the money

be disastrous to the public purse to

LIQUOR REVENUES
is one of the most |
significant paragraphs from the !
report of the board of poor
directors which retired Yesterday.

As has been previously stated by
the board, the bulk of the misery
and distress amongst the excessive
L. poor-or that class from which
is recruited the almshouse inmates
is due to liquor. More than 80
per cent. of the inmates of the
almshouse are there directly be-
because OF it's excessive use. The
social workers find that continuous
effort must be made-almost daily
contact is required-where mem
bers of the family use liquor. In
fact. rehabilitation is almost i'm
possible while liquor is used by one
of the family.

Term OF COUNTY
OFFICERS BEFORE COURT

Whether county officers can legally
hold offices for -four years in Mime
sofa was argued before the state su-
preme court in St.. Paul today.
The matter was brought into court
on the petition of j. j. Abel who at
tempted to file as a candidate for
clerk of the district court of Wright
county.
J. A. Berg, auditor of Wright coun-
ty, refused to accept the affidavit, his
defense being that there would be no
vacancy in this county Office until
1918. The clerks of court in "a
counties will be affected by the deci-
sion of the court when the case is de-
cided.
Abel contends that the term of the
present clerk of court who was elected
in 1912 for four years expires Jan. /
next, the legislature of 1915 had
amended the law so that officers
would serve until 1918, thereby ex-
tending the terms of the present in
cubents an additional year. Abel
contends that this extension is un-
constitutional.
