that the only liberals were those who
supported the Kaiser and the Junkers
against the democratic world; liber-
al construction of this act evidently
means an illiberal construction. If 1t
is passed, we shall see all the agents
of the Anti-Saloon League clothed
with powers to invade every home and
to hale before the Courts any one
guilty of possessing or using whisky,
wine, beer or anything else in any de-
gree alcoholic.
This is what the triumphant leaders
of the drys called, when their victory
was still fresh, IAN adequate search
and seizure provision Since then
some Laodiceans among them, includ-
ing our own Mr.. Anderson, have weak
ened, and suggested that perhaps the
homes of citizens might OF be invaded
after all; but it appears that the up
per hand has been gained by the fac
ton which believes in taking all that
the traffic will bear. To be sure, there
Is some doubt as to how much the
American people will stand; the eight
eenth amendment prohibits the manu-
facture. sale or transportation of liq-
uor after January l6 next, but it does
not prohibit the ownership or use OF
what may have been manufactured
bought and transported before that
date. If there is anything in the
constitution authorizing this search
and, seizure by Federal officials 1t is
more likely to be found in the con-
stitution of the Anti-Saloon League
than in that of the United States. But
what is the constitution among drys-
always excepting the eighteenth
amendment, which it Is reasonable Il
try to repeal?

THE NEW INQUISITION
New York Times)


Representative Volstead's prohibi-
ton enforcement bill might have been
entitled AN Act to Promote Breaches
of the Peace" 1t was prepared, we
are told, with the assistance Of coun-
sci for the Anti-Saloon League" as
might have been inferred from the
provision for a Prohibition Commits
sioner in the Treasury Department,
who may appoint such assistants or
agents as he may deem necessary"
The brethren will find their occupa-
ton gone in a few months; at least
they may find good many contribu-
tors who will be unable to see the
need of an Anti-Saloon League when
there are no longer any saloons, and
who may, perhaps, be unwilling to
part with their money to extend the
blessings of prohibition to Paraguay
and Cambodia. So, as a matter Of in
surance against the evil day, we have
a bill drawn to put the staff Of the
Anti-Saloon League on the Federal
pay roll.
By the terms of this tolerant meas
ure It shall be unlawful to "manufac-
ture, sell, barter, give away, transport,
export, deliver, furnish, receive, pos
sess or use" anything with more than
one half Of 1 per cent Of alcohol

The Dickinson fire department, re-
spending to u call, got onto the ground
quickly and helped fight the blaze
Until 3 O'clock a. IN.
The loss is estimated ut between
100000 and 100000. No one was in
jyred. The Pathman elevator has not
been in use for yer three years, and

Fargo, n. D., June 29.-Referendum
election returns received at Nonparti-

Fargo Courier-News up to an early
hour this morning are said to show a
majority Of 6,7SS votes for the printing
bill, which it is believed will carry the

referred laws. The vote reported on
this bill stood 55,7G3 for and 1875

Bank and Commission Bills Lead.
Reports at hand included returns
from every county in the state except
Oliver, Which is regarded as a Non-
partisan stronghold. A total Of ITO
precincts We're still to send in their
returns. In 80 of the SO counties Of
the state the state bank law ran 1,079
votes ahead of the printing bin. In
40 counties the industrial commission
bill ran 1910 ahead Of the printing
bill. The league measures carried in
30 counties, the opposition carried in
Is counties, two counties-Morton and
Dickey-split their vote, giving a ma

returned, vary from $500 to 10000.
Cities Show League Gains.

Unparalleled Tornado of Sum-
day, June %. a Juncture of
Three Cyclonic Storms.
DAMAGE four MILLIONS
Graphic Story of Havoc Wrought and
Debris Left in Hurricanes Wake
--lmmediate Help Needed--
Freaks of the Storm.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, June &c.
Fergus Falls today, four days after the
almost unparalleled hurricane of Sum-
day afternoon, is still a mass of broken
and scattered debris. While the first
story Of the tragedy has now been told
throughout the country, the real stories
of the loss, the personal suffering. the
fortitude Of citizens and the opening
Of efforts at reconstruction of the
devastated area are still to be told.
How many actually are dead, even, is
not. yet accurately known and may
never be. Already the list Of bodies
recovered aggregates 50, four Of which
are unidentified. Several others known
to be missing will almost certainly he
added to the list Of victims. Work at
clearing away the debris, which had
begun almost within an hour after the
storm, has continued un;nterruptedly
and will occupy many days. The city,
40 per cent of which was leveled or
wrecked by the wind, is almost totally
strewn with broken and tangled ma
terial. Much of the area may be de-
scribed as resembling the vicinity Of a
sawmill-with finely splintered lumber
slashings everywhere. Lake Alice,
which is within the city limits. is GOV
cred with a floating mass Of rubbish.
and how many bodies it will give up
cannot be guessed. One Mile lake, at
the city outskirts, presents Il similar
scene, and the gruesome secrets of it's
depths are not yet fully told. Both are
being dragged for bodies. The pres
ence of strangers in the city renders a
complete list Of the dead impossible
until both lakes have been searched
and the last vestiges Of debris cleared
away from the town.
Further Losses in the Storm.
The human suffering entailed by the
storm is but lightly suggested by the
long list of the dead. Two hundred
persons, at least, have been injured,
beyond the number who have already
succunbed. Some of these may die
others-many of them-will be per-
manently MANNED.
Add to this the fact that the other
material losses aggregate according to
latest figures. between three and four
million dollars, instead of the $780,.
600 of earlier estimates; and that
these losses fall, almost without excep.

ton, upon persons whose entire bust
ness resources are destroyed by the
storm, and a graphic idea of the city's
suffering begins to be possible. Be-
sides losses of upward OF a million
dollars in the business area. 400 homes
have been wrecked or utterly wiped
away. A conservative estimate of
their average value would be $4,000.
Many Of them were worth wv or three
times as much, for Fergus Falls was a
city of beautiful homes. Union ave
nue., a residential district skirting the
thoroughfare to the state hospital,
was a section Of unusual beauty. The
northern half of it is wholly destroyed.
Vernon avenue; another handsome
street, met a similar fate. How COM
plete and irreparable is the total loss
to citizens can be guessed from the
fact that not owe 5 per cent of the
property wrecked was protected by in
raj against casualties of this kind.
Public and Private Buildings Gone.
If Byron's description Of carnage in
which AL were in zone red burial
blent" might be quoted to express the
destruction of inanimute things, the
use of it in description of Fergus Falls
structural and business losses would
be almost apropos. Property of every
kind is inextricably mixed in a hope
lessly tangled confusion in which each
becomes burial material for that which
remains. All church edifices in the
city, except two, are a part Of the
tangled and twisted debris. The
court house and all the school houses
Of the city are destroyed or seriously
damaged. Theatres, schools, laundries,
the Grand hOtel-scene of the largest
number of fatalities-the Northern
Pacific passenger and freight depots,
municipal bridges. manufacturing
plants, stores, the big Red River mill
all sustained heavy damage, and
most Of them are now but jumbled
heaps. The wrecking of approximately
100 automobiles ut various places
about the city is mentioned as merely
one of the minor items of the damage
effected by the storm.
What Is Being Done.
Familiar as the story of the tragedy.
is, in part, the story of what is being
done to succor the injured town. Re-
lief trains quickly brought physicians,
nurses, medicines and surgical dress
ings. Helpers streamed into the city.
Governor Burnquist. dispatched three
companies of Home Guards, who have
policed the stricken district day and
night. For the protection Of people
and property, the city is temporarily
under martial law. BY designation of
the governor, after conference with
local business men and officials, a re.
lief committee was promptly given
authority to solicit and distribute
necessary supplies and funds. Cities
throughout the northwest have Sent
