Community Christmas Trees

Christmas of 1916 is joyous mem
DRY of the many TWINS and cities of
Minnesota that had Community trees.
In spite of the cold and stormy
weather more public Christmas Tro-
grams were held around beautifully
decorated trees than ever before.
The celebrations were brought about
by the active cooperation of COM
merclal clubs, churches and public
schools. Community bands, orches-
tras, choruses and programs by the
public schools made the Christmas
celebrations at Litchfeld, Thief River
Falls, Osakis, Hinckley. and Winnebago
City an event long to be remem-
bere3. In some places, the stormy
weather prevented the programs from
being carried out around the big
Christmas trees in the public squares,
and in these cases the programs were
held in the high school auditoriums
or theatres.

Where is North in Morris?

There are persons. who have lived
in Morris all of their lives, and can
not tell North from West or South
from East North is not North in
Morris, neither is West, West. And
is all the fault of the Great Northern
Railway. Morris residents are &C.
customed to saying that the railway
runs north and south, when as mat
ter of fact the railway passes through
the city in northwestsoutheast
direction. There is no use carrying a
campus, in order to give the correct
directions when asked, so Northwest
is therefore called North and South
east called South, and East and West
are designated accordingly.
You can get yourself "square with
the world" however, by noting the
pointer above the lime shed of the
Lampert Lumber Co. There is also a
weather vane, in connection with the
compass arrangement above the shed,
to tell from which corner the wind
blows.

In regard 20 the decision Of the supreme court holding that
the Webb-kenyon law Is In accordance with the constitution Of
the United States. the Cincinnati TimesStar has the following
editorial IN the issue Of January 10, 1917: ~To the laymen the
decision Of the United States Supreme court. ~upholding the Webb
Kenyon law, seems revolutionary. The original package" and
other principles enunciated In decisions through many years, APP
parenty are thrown In the discard and hereafter states will be
permitted to erect walls against interstate commerce, 10 far as the
liquor traffic is concerned: State sovereignty in the matter Of pro-
hibition has been recognized by our highest legal tribunal. Con-
gress has In effect been permitted 10 give back TO the states a
power supposed to have been delegated by the constitution to the
central government and therefore subject to modification only
through constitutional amendment. There was something TO be
said for the Webb-Kenyon law, II the legal objections were waived.
States would vote for prohibition only to find that consumers Of
alcohol could receive as much as they wished IL it but came through
channels Of interstate commerce. Prohibition thus led TO excuses
greater than in a period Of regulation. because the traffic was in
the stronger, and therefore the more portable, liquors. The armor
OF federal sanction was too much for the police power Of the
state. The laws against the liquor traffic became a broken lance.
The effect Of the Webb-Kenyon law Ii problematic. States may
not go dry" so readily il the voter appreciates that prohibition
means the abolition not only Of the saloon, but Of the decanter in
the sideboard as well. Also. one Of the arguments for national
prohibition has been removed. II was cotended that because Of
the protection that the interstate commerce clause Of the consti-
tuition gave to the liquor traffic, IL was impossible for a state &c.
tual TO go dry unless there was national prohibition and "stoppage
at source" to use an income tax phrase. Perhaps now that a "dry"
state is permitted to wall itself against an invasion Of liquor. II
will permit the world without its walls to live as that world sees at.

The people of this valley do not seem TO have the confidence
in the country that they should have. They have come here and
many no doubt have invested every cent they have in the world.
and yet they are doubling Thomases. Very few Of the residents
will really talk encouraging 10 a new conner when he is looking
over the valley with a view in mind Of locating. Some Of our
leading business men have made what they own today in this
valley, and still they win stand up and tell you that they do not
think this country will last for anything but the cattle man. Only
last week we heard a farmer say that he had never failed yet in
raising a good crop since he came here, and the same man has
never yet spent a dollar for irrigation purposes. He is one among
many who would talk favorable 10 a stranger who was considering
making his home here. But there is a large per cent of the peo-
Pile who are making good right here in Columbus and the valley
who lack confidence in the country, and are not doing near as much
toward the development Of the country as they would IL they had
more confidence in the future of the valley. Such people hurt in
many ways. and are today retarding the growth Of Luna county.
After a man has decided to make the Lower Mimhres his home
and then does and says things that iniure himself as well as others
undoubtedly needs the assistance of a brain specialist.
