PROTEST RENT LAW
CLAUSE ON APPEALS
Attorneys for Bar Oppose Ap.
peaIed Cases Being Taken
to D. C. Supreme Court.

Protest against that feature of the
bill extending the District rent act
which would have all appeals from
the Rent Commission go to the Dis
trict Supreme Court was made today
by a. committee of the District Bar
Association at a hearing before the
Senate District committee.
George P. Hoover and Hugh Ro-
land appeared for the bar association
committee.
Chaplin Brown, counsel for the Rent
Commission, appeared for the COM
mission.
Under sthe existing law appeals
from the Rent Commission may go to
the Court of Appeals of the District.
Brown Opposes Hoover Plea.
Mr.. Hoover, while admitting the
District Court of Appeals and the
District Supreme Court have both
very heavy dockets, said that it was
the opinion of the committee he rep
resented the appeal should go to the
Court of Appeals. He pointed out
that the Court of Appeals has three
docketS, including a special docket.
This special docket, he said, is not con-
SeSted. and rent cases could go on that
docket He said that there were only
about ten cases on the special docket
now. Mr. Hoover said also tnat the
all it can do. He referred to the fact
that there is a bill pending in the SEN
ate authorizing the appointment of three
:'''f'"' f'ldg"S 20 this court, to show
the situation of the courts.
AK nlu".i saiu that the committee

essarily express the sentiment of the
District Bar Association in this matter.
since it was only a committee, and the
association itself had not passed upon
the question.
He expressed his confidence that t..
majority of the members. of the bar as
soclauon would not oppose the pro-
posed legislation carrying the appeals
from the Rent Commission to the Su-
preme Court. instead of the Court of
Appeals.
Committee Given Power to Act.
Mr.. Hoover replied that while the
whole bar association had not acted
upon the question at issue, still, the
committee which he represented had
been appointed by the bar association
with power to act. .
Mr. Brown. in support of his, con-
tention that it was a mistake to have
the appeals from the rent commission
go to the Court of Appeals, mentioned
two cases. One was that of the apart
ment house known as Meridian
Manor. 2400 18th street. He said that
the attorney for the landlord had
'made a motion for the advancement
or this case, but the motion had been
den.ed 1t would be next November
Mr. Brown said. before the court got
around to hearing that case, in ali
robability. The other case he cited
was that OF the Monmouth Hotel,
which was eighteen months before the
Court of Appeals
Mr.. Brown admitted that the Dis
trict Supreme Court had a great deal
OF work to do, but said that he
thought 1t was in better shape to ham
die the appeals from the Rent Com
mission than the Court of Appeals. If
1t was necessary. he said, these ap-
peals could be heard during the sum
mer. He pointed out, too, that the
supreme Court had recently been re-
leased from handling appeals in GER
tain other cases.

sided today and who reported the rent

that he had always looked upon the
rent legislation here as a temporary
matter. The expectation has been. he
said, that as things get back to the
normal landlords here would also get
back to the normal. However. he
said, it had beer brought to the at
tention of the District committee that
they never were more grasping than
they are today. and for that reason he
believed 1t was necessary to extend

The stranger closed his eyes and
seemed to be thinking. A tender
smile lifted the corners of his mouth.
"You know that's the sorter job to

Sleepy Eye Plans
Big Celebration
WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY
SET ASIDE BY BROWN COUN-
TY CITY.

With the advent of the fall sea-
son, harvest festivals, homecoming
celebrations and similar events are be-
ing arranged throughout Southern
Minnesota to commemorate the occa-
sion. With this end in view, Sleepy
Eye residents and business men are,
in this weeks issue of the Advance
Press, advertising their Harvest
Festival and Fiftieth Anniversary
celebration, which is to be staged in
that city next Wednesday and Thurs
day, September goth and 21st.
In a recent telephone communica-
tion with this office, AL Kuske, Sleepy
Eyes well-known druggist, and boost
er for his home town, stated that all
committees were working overtime to
provide the proper entertainment for
those who would visit Sleepy Eye on
this occasion. A wonderful array of
beautifully decorated floats, erected
by the various business houses and or
ganizations, will greatly enhance the
large historical parade, which is ex-
pected to eclipse anything ever at
tempted in our sister city to the east
and will be given both days at HOO
D CLOCK IN Cne forenoon.
Another feature of the two-day
event will be a huge corn palace to
be erected on the main square, which
will undoubtedly be one of the main
drawing cards. The upper story of
the structure will be utilized as al
band pavilion, while the ground floor
will be devoted to radio demonstra-
tions, where the visitors may listen
to the latest concerts, vocal and in
strumental, addresses, ETC., as the in
struments snatch the sound waves out
of the air.
The sports program is replete with
races and small sports in great pro- |
fusion. Ball games between Spring
field and Sleepy Eye and Walnut
Grove and Sleepy Eye, and foot ball
game between the Springfield and
Sleepy Eye high school teams is bound
to delight the fans who attend.
Three bands have been engaged to
furnish the musical entertainment on
these eventful days and dances have
been arranged for those who wish to
trip the light fantastic.
Horse racing, wild west show,
agricultural exhibits and stock show
are included in the long list of enter
tanning features. The committee ex-
tends cordial invitation to all to visit
Sleepy Eye next Wednesday and
Thursday ~and urges that you bring
your friends.-Springfeld Advance.

stitution and as a good citizen it is
our duty to obey it regardless of our
personal opinions. There is nothing
unlawful in advocating a change, but
it is futile. 1t will require several
years before the illict liquor traffic
is wiped out. But the constitution
will prevail sooner or later. Prohibi-
tion is a radical reform aimed at a

The Literary Digest Poll

The Literary Digest has been taking
a nationwide straw vote on the liquor
question to ascertain the sentiment of
the people. The final vote shows $780,
1913 in favor Of the enforcement of the
present laws, 1885 in favor of re-
pealing the 18th amendment and 376,-
334 in favor of modification of the
Volstead law. The poll has attracted
nationwide attention. Both the wet
and drys have claimed the advantage.
However, when it is considered that
100000 ballots were sent out and
only 100000 took sufficient interest in
the matter to mark their ballots and
send them in, the value of the poll is
practically destroyed. The poll shows
the sentiment of less than ten per
cent of the people who were given the
opportunity of voting and only about
two per cent of the voting population
of the country.
In a straw vote of this kind, it is
more likely that those interested in
a change will express themselves.
Those who are satisfied with things as
they are will be more likely to disre
gard the matter. At any rate, out of
ten million people who were asked to
express their sentiments, only 1.64 per
cent cared enough to have the prohibi
tion amendment repealed to spend a
one cent stamp and only 1926 per cent
were sufficiently interested to vote for
a modification of the Volstead law. 1t
cannot be claimed that there is a
strong public sentiment for either a
repeal of the amendment or a modif-
cation of the law and the matter is
likely to end there.
An analysis of the poll shows that
in 80 states the Volstead law was in
most favor, while in only nine states
did the vote in favor of modification
prevail. In not single state did the
vote for repeal exceed either the vote
for enforcement or for modification
of the Volstead law.
One thing is certain, and this seems
to be overlooked by the advocates of
beer and light wines, under the con
stitution the Volstead law cannot be
amended so as to permit the sale OF
Intoxicating beverages, and beer and
light wines are and always have been
regarded as Intoxicating. The consti-
tuition prohibits the manufacture and
sale of these beverages and congress
has not the power to override the con-
stitution. 1t would take the vote of
the legislatures of 36 states to bring
about such a change and nobody is
foolish enough to predict that such
action is possible.
The 18th amendment is evidently
here to stay. 1t is part of our con-
