BY e. G. lEFfLER.

Out of the eighty-six counties in
Minnesota fifty-seven are in the dry
column, covering three-fourths of the
total area of the state. Forty-nine
are dry by the vote of the people,
forty-four under county option and
five under local option. Four whole
counties are included in the Indian
country. Four others are dry through
local option and the fact that they
are covered in part by the Indian
treaty.
The first to be affected in a severe
degree by the bleaching out process
was the so called Indian country;
where Uncle Sam, in pursuance of his
duty, hotfoots about in search of the
wary bootlegger, who seeks to entice
both the white and the native Ameri-

of Minnesota, including a large part
of the vast iron range), is large

Hampshire and have enough over to
establish good sized jag farm. This
vast extent Of country is dry, dry in
big letters, bone dry, and extra dry.
And things are as they are, all be-

RESOLUTION IS
LAID ON TABLE.
Senate Disposes Of Cores Sea
Travel Warning.
SCENE CHANGES TO HOUSE
Foreign Affairs Committee to Report
McLemore Resolution With Rec.
ommendationt Kill.

Washington, March 4.-Following
rejection by the senate OF a resolu-
ton warning Americans not to trav-
Ell on belligerent ships the house for
eign affairs committee, by vote of II
to 2, took longer step toward fully
meeting the presidents wishes and
voted to report the McLemore warn
ing resolution with the recommends.
ton that it be tabled
In a turbulent scene, such as is sell
dom witnessed in the senate, the vot.
ing on Senator Cores resolution pro.
ceeded, with senators shouting objec-
tons, futilely demanding recognition
to explain their position and making
hot retorts to each other, all of which
were out of order.
At one time so many senators were
shouting for the vice presidents recog-
milton that the sergeant-at-arms was
called to restore quiet.
After having unanswered for two
days to get the resolution in such par
liamentary position that it was dis
posed of without debate the senate
then proceeded to general discussion
OF the subject, to the dismay of ad-
ministration supporters.
Some Call Il "Scotch Verdict"
There were free expressions of opin.
ion that the senate's action, because
the vote actually was taken on a mo-
tion to table the Gore resolution, with
correction by the author and sub
stitute by Senator McCumber, was in
effect Scotch verdict" and had not
actually accomplished the purpose of
the president.
Such statements aroused the presi-
dents friends, who feared they would
produce an effect exactly opposite to
that intended, a notice to the world
that the senate stands behind the
president in his demands on Germany
for the rights Of Americans travelling
the seas.
In its report the house foreign af-
fairs committee asserts that the con-
stitution imposed the conduct of diplo-
matte negotiations on the president
and with this practice the committee
does not feel it proper for the house
of representatives to interfere"
Senator Gore voted for the motion
to table and declared he considered
the administration victory a mixed
one.

The Committee on Streets will meet

last week before the Finance Com

some decision Of the case will be
reached today and a number Of per-
sons from Barton Heights. Ginter

hand to convince the authorities OF
the need of changing the street car
system.
The Northside residents ask that a
