 She was too efficient" T never heard of a case like that be- fore"
 Well, that's why I had to let her go. Why, that young woman was so blamed competent I expected to find myself married to her at any moment"

Good citizens are in the majority everywhere, and if they choose to be misgoverned-as they claim to be-by selfish minority of professional poli- ticians, one can hardly bestow much sympathy Qr lose much sleep on their account when they are too indifferent to rise up and assert themselves at the polls and put in men of probity and worth. Our city government is just as good as we are and no better or worse
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-06

Getting office has been allowed to of greed and grab. and voters are ruled too much by their prejudices. and will not take time to size up candidates or listen to fair and open discussion of issues. The present way of electing our officers to rule over us Is a menace and & disgrace to our intelligence. We give too much latitude to the leather lunged, and reward too frequently the self -assertive.

The rule of the great city is twentieth century problem that is growing more serious every year.

Peters TO APPEAL Case
Prohibition Commissioner Awaits
Consultation With Attorneys Be-
fore Making Statement.
Awaits

Though Commissioner of Prohlbi-
/; ton Peters has made no statement,
and will not until he has had con-
ference with his attorneys, it IS now
regarded as certain that ne will ask
the Supreme Court of Appeals to
pass upon the status OF Tanhauscr, a
so-called soft drink which he has or
dered off the market as a malt bev-
erage, and which a jury Of the Hust-
ings Court of Richmond has found TO
be within the law.
The right of the STAG to take an
appeal in this case has been seriously
questioned, since the Constitution
provides that the Commonwealth
! shall have no appeal in any case in
volving the liberty Of person., en-
cept where one of the States revenue
laws has been violated. w. c. Her
bert, distributor of Taniauser for tho
Royal Brewing Company, was tried in
the Hastings Court on criminal
charge, and, had he been found guilty,
would have been sent. to Jail for not
less than thirty days and fined not
less than $50.
But in disposing Of constitutional
prohibitions, lawyers said yesterday
that the prohibition act is distinctly
a. revenue act, in that the State comes
into possession of tax by two Of
the three ways in which liquor may
be secured in Virginia. Only the man
who brings it in by private convey
ance or as part of his hand baggage
escapes. If an express company brings
it in. for him, he is assessed with
scent stamp. If he buys it from Il
drug store, he must yield the State
like amount of revenue. 1t is esti-
mated that the treasury of Virginia
will receive this year, barring "bone-
dry complications, something like
$4,000 through the operation of the
prohibition law.
The prohibition act itself, in seq
ton rs. ;a@kc; Inc following provis-
ion:
an all cases arising under this
act Tho State Shall have the right of
appeal, except when such appeal is
forbidden by the Constitution.
1t was pointed out yesterday that:
unless the Legislature meant that
the State was entitled to an appeal
in all liquor cases, rs arising under a
revenue act, this would obviously be
an absurd provision, since the Con-
stitution is very plain on this point.
Under the old local-option law, the

HEAD0f NON-PARTISAN
LEAGUE WILL Be HERE
Billed to Speak at WiI|mar Opera
House Next Tuesday
Afternoon.

The National Farmers Nou-PartiSan
League is billed to hold a big meeting
at the Willmar Opera House next
Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 16. A.. c.
Townley, the head of the organization,
will speak, and it is expected that
some of the State officials of North
Dakota will also be here to speak.
There has been repeated efforts
made, especially in the Minneapolis
daily papers, to impugn the patrio-
tism of Mr.. Townley and his associates
among the leaders of the new farmers
organization, but the fact remains
that the Public Safety Commission
have not been able to make the charge
stick. Reports that meetings have
been prohibited in counties of the
State are made, but the meetings are
being held, nevertheless.
Sheriff Bonde attended the meeting
held at Litchfield yesterday, and re-
turned satisfied that Townley's speech
given there was not of q character
that he would be warranted in stop
ping. In fact, in part it was intensely
patriotic. Sheriff Bonde had an iu-
terview with Townley, and was prom
ised that the Willmar meeting will be
conducted along the same line as that
at Litchfield.
Mr.. Townley has a stenographer
with him to take verbatim reports Ter
his own protection.

new PUBLIC HOSPITAL
HAS Been PROPOSED
List Of Guarantors For Cam
paign Is Now Nearly
Complete.

Are we to have a public County
Hospital, where anyone who is ill and
injured can be taken and have any
physician or practitioner desired at
tend them?
A meeting was held Monday eve
ming which was attended by number
of representative citizens to discuss
the proposition. Judge T. o. Gilbert,
President of the Commercial Club pre-
sided. It was pointed out that with
the demands to be made upon tho
medical profession by the army, at
tendance at the homes will likely be
harder and harder to get, and that the
need of hospital open to all with am
pie facilities would be felt more and
more. The failure Of former attempts
was thought to be largely due to the
lack of experienced direction of the
campaign. An experienced campaign
manager, Mr.. J. Landauer, of Mime.
apolis, has been secured tentatively.
A committee consisting of Gov. A. F..
Rice, chairman; DR.. E. H. Frost, DR..
I. S. Benson, c. B. Carlson and Swan
Anderson (jeweler) was appointed for
the purpose of securing a guarantee
of $500 necessary to engage Mr. Ian.
dauer.
At this writing, over forty OF the :e.
uuired fifty guarantors had been Sc.
cured.
It is nroposed to build hosnital Of
about fifty beds, to cost about $4,000.

FORD STOLEN SATURDAY
EVENING.

Martin Berg, who resides in the
eastern part of the city, had the ill
luck Of having his Ford car stolen last
Saturday evening. The car was left
near the Spicer Land Co.'s Office and
was taken about nine o'clock in the
evening. On Sunday, it was found
east of Kandiyohi. The driver had
evidently been going at great speed
and was not aware of the turn in the
road and drove the car thru wire
fence and against rock. This dam.
aged the car to such an extent that
the party who took it was compelled
to leave It.
