WHY ALASKA VOTED DRY

The mti-prohibitionists in Alaska can blame the California Liquor Dealers Asso- citation of San Francisco for putting Alaska in line for a seat on the water wagon. Ear fly last spring every newspaper in Alaska was called upon by a representative of that association and nearly every paper in Alas ka contracted for the publication of litcra- turc to be furnished them by the associa. tion. which, from a business standpoint was perfectly proper. The hcnewspapcrs had their space for sale at legitimate price and the California Liquor Dealers Association was willing to pay the price asked So far, so good.
 Having secured space in the press of Alaska it was up to the purchasers to utilize it which they proceeded to do. The result was that a campaign was launched, the object of which was to boost and popu- larizc the booze industry. Hundreds of columns were printed telling of the mholy workings of prohibition where ever it had been tlicd-of how it was failure in Kan SaS where crime, insanity, imbecility were stalking hand in hand and rampant; of how there was more drunkenness in Seattle since the state voted dry than there had ever been before; of how prohibition inter fcrcd with personal liberty and curtailcd God-givcn privileges of how it was unjust to interfere with any mans malicnabIc right to take a drink when he felt so dis posed; of how the advocates of prohibition were a bunch of old women, cranks and
 nuts, ' and of how any state, territory orI town that voted dry was headed straight for hell, morally, mentally and financially. In fact, never before had the people of Alas ka read onc-tcnth as much about the booze industry as was diShcd up to them during the six months previous to election day. What was the result!
 Surely a question that was worth so much space in newspapers was one of mo- :. mcnt and importance. The result was that people began to investigate for themselves ! and investigation proved that statements made in paid wet space could not be vcri- fed Many former lukewaIm friends of prohibition became mquisitivc and finally instituted investigations on their own ac- count. They wondered if all the bad things said about prohibition were true, why they had never heard of them before They went into the matter and the result of the election on the subject throughout the territory was their verdict after thorough investigation.
 Printers ink settled the wet and dry question in Alaska and the greater portion of it was paid for by the California Liquor Dealers Association. In their zeal to en- Al T f t1 !, land, they put one over on themselves. 1 Their literature caused the people to think over and weigh the subject at issue and the big majority rolled up on the 7th was the result of that thinking and weighing.

death was in fairly good health.
In the passing of the departed,
one of the real old time settlers
has been removed from our
midst. He was born at Laaland,
Denmark, Aug. 25th, 1854, and
immigrated to America with his
parents in 1865, locating in Ra-
cine Co., Wis, and two years
later coming to- Brown County.
In '76 John and The departed
came to Redwood Co. and the
latter took homestead, and
owned the same at the time Of
his death. In 1871 he was mar
ried to Christina Johnson who
died Ii years ago. He leaves
two children, Henry and Mar
tina, and three throthers name
ly, John and Hans of Milroy and
Peter of Marshall.
The remains were taken to
Marshall where funeral services
were held at the Methodist
Church, conducted by Rev. Good
ell, March 81.
The Christophersons can re-
late many incidents Of interest
during the early history of this
country. In 1878 Hans and Pet
er came to this country with
their parents who homesteaded
the place now owned by G.. M.
Leach and took as a tree claim
the home now owned by H. C.
Christopherson.
Marshall was their nearest
trading point and they were
obliged to drive to Redwood
Falls for four.-Milroy Echo.

Unrestricted Sale
of Drugs Scored
Retail Druggists Advocate Strir-
gent Rules for Vendors
of Medicines
IGNORANCE CAPITALIZED
Statement of Organization Says
More Than so Per Cent of
Preparations Are Handled
by Peddlers

Restricting the sale of medi-
cal compounds to pharmacists
and those educated in the value
of them is advocated by the St.
Paul Retail Druggists associa-
ton in campaign which began
Monday.
Peddlers Are Criticized
Itinerant vendors and peddlers
of patent medicines were crit
icized in a statement issued by
H. Martin Johnston, secretary
of the st. Paul association. Per-
sons who take medicines re-
gardless of the neew were crit
icized.
The statement was as follows
MANY statements have been
published concerning the sale of
drugs and writer's have contend
ed that not more than 20 or 80
per cent of all drugs and medi-
cines consumed are sold by
pharmacists. It is also stated
on good authority, that more
than so per cent of the medi-
cines consumed are sold by re-
tails stores other than drug
stores, or by peddlers and medi-
cine vendors.
Rapid Growth of Sales
''In recent article on drug
intoxication, it was pointed out
that the consumptio of drugs in
the United States has increased
out of all proportion to the in
crease in population.
THAT a large number of
American people have the habit
of taking medicine whether they
need it or not is we'll known
fact to those who have studied
the consumption of drugs. The
continual taking of small
amounts of drugs which are or
dinarily considered harmless,
has in many cases been followed
by disastrous results.
ut has come to our attention
number of times that phar-
macists not infrequently advise
customers not to take certain
medicines. We believe that
pharmacists as a rule have the
welfare of the public in mind
when selling medicinal prepare
tons, but we have never heard
Of medicine peddler or vender
giving advice which would tend
to influence prospective custom
ers against their wares.
''The sooner the public comes
to realize the Importance Of re.
stricting the sale of drugs anc
medicine to those who are re.
quired by law to possess a knowl.
edge of their character, the bet.

The Mankato rest room is no

It was opened March l, 1911,

has been a continuous growth.

it's services. The table is well
supplied with papers and maya
