THE ALLEGED LONG DROUTH is ABOUT
TO END

Congress- with but little dissention, has passed
the much discussed beer bill
1t was expected President Roosevelt would sign
the bill Wednesday.
Under its provisions the public can step up to
thousands of bars and in thousands of eating places
and drink glass of beer without fear of having a
run-in with the Federal agents.
The promulgators of the measure have great
faith in the vast amount of the return of beer
will bring into the treasury of the United States.
This country never beer drinking country
compared to the nations of Europe Hundreds of
thousands who satisfied with the alcoholic
tent of beer prior to the enactment of the 18th
amendment will not be satisfied with the new bever
age.
They have been fussing with home brews, spiked
malt and the stuff made while the moon shines.
Experts say that all of these beverages carried
wallop
Bill Rogers, the noted humorist, figures that it will
take at least 33 glasses of beer of the 80 alcoholic
content to acquire gentlemans sized jag
The experts also state that the average home
brew contained at least six per cent alcoholic
tent, that spiked malt from Is per cent up and
that moonshine much stronger.
Will these folks, formerly beer drinkers, with
acquired and quite highly developed hard likker
thirst, be satisfied with 80 per ceent beer?
The return of the beer parlors will in no way
lessen the bcoteggng evil Many of the places yelled
with responsibility, particularly in the lalge centers
of population, will have a shot in the arm" which
they slip their regular patrons with the wink of
eyelash.
The Minnesota legislature is wrestling with the
problem to how the beer can be legally handled in
this state.
There is disposition by some to permit it to
be sold by grocers and other dealers in and
allow eating places to sell it by the glass bottle
for small license.
The extreme vets appear to be in the saddle in
the legislature Beer will be legal about April g. and
the lawmakers hope to have the conflicting Minneso-
ia statutes cleaned up in time to open wide the
door at the minute Uncle Sam fires the starting shot
The noble experiment" will be watched with
more than passing interest.

LEGISLATIVE LETTER
BY r. ". Hitchcock

There is magic in a name to the
"iberaphouse majority. If it finds
something that sounds good, it is
good to it, and it does not propose
to stop and find out wha. the lat
ter end of the alluring scheme may
be. Anyone who wants TO do that,
any one who wants to stop, look
and listen," anyone who wants to
weigh and consider, is reaction
ary." To be sound, to be sane, to
be sensible. is to be "reactionary."
Words, Words, words
Some of the leading lights of the
house majority seem to think that
if they propose and pass powerful
passed. Of resolutions everything
will be all right with the world. The
present session of the legislature
has seen one of the most violent
epidemics of wordy resolutions that
the Minnesota states house has ev-
er experienced. The house in par
ticular is fecund breeder of ver-
bose resolutions. Is ''whereases,"
strung end to end, would almost
reach from Pembinew to Hokah. It
has advised congress, with SNUG
cock-sureness, on pretty much ev-
erything under the sun.
The "whereases' of this long
troupe of famboyant resolutions are
fearfully and wonderfully made.
They denounce without reservation
and approve with abandon. They
positively settle beyond peradven-
ture of doubt the most controver-
sial problems, national and interna-
tional. If congress only had, right
there at its elbow in Washington,
the resoluteers Of the Minnesota
house, it would no longer have to
worry and wrangle over the prob
lens of the hour; the resoluteers
know and uncutously declare just
what should be. done.

policies as infamous; denouncing as
"unwise and unfair" attempts of the
National Economy League to pre-
vent waste; demanding That the U.
S. A. go into the banking business
p. d. q. and other inanities by the
score. The liberal resoluteers
even scored the President, whom
they had just elected, for his manly
and resolute attempt to prevent
waste in the government of their
country. They have wasted hours,
and even days, in debating these
bombastic resolutions.
Some years ago a certain MEM
Der of the legislature confined his
lawmaking exclusively to the in
PRODUCTION of number of high
sounding resolutions. Having in
troduced them, he folded his hands,
his work for the session was done.
But at the next rustings he ran for
reelection on these resolutions and
came back to father more resolu-
tions. Perhaps it is platform mater
ial for the next campaign that our
wordy resoluteers have in mind.
Liberal" Policies
One liberal" categor;cally and
vehemently declared a few days ago
that he was mot in favor of tax
reduction" He told the truth as to
the liberal policy in the present
legislature. That policy is a tax
more, spend-more policy. It is de-
voted to multiplying jobs for it's
followers. In the name of the pub
lie welfare it pushes forward FOR
new activities of government, for
every new government undertaking
means many new jobs. It's text is,
Lay on the Tax; its gospel is, Spend
the Money. It is willing to venture
upon the newest and most untried
social and economic experiments;

iently pleasing to the people, no

Few Minnesota citizens pay large
federal income taxes.
From another angle, however"
the department commander points
out, 1T is possible that the tax bur-
den of Minnesota citizens may be
greatly increased by reason of the
Presidents proposed action. This
will occur if it proves that large
proportion of the sick and disab-
led veterans who lose federal aid,
are not able to support themselves.
ITO give you an idea of what a
fresh burden this would add, let
me mention the benefits now being
received annually in certain Mime

BY Representative R. w. Hitchcock
THE Century has given birth to
a Great Epoch, but the great mo-
ment finds petty generation" So
said Johann Wolfgang Goethe more
than one hundred years ago. Could
he look down on the Minnesota
Legislature of 1888 he might be
moved to declare that the times
given birth to great opportunity
for constructive craftsmanship but
the great moment finds only the
playing of petty politics.
The Legislature of 1898 is the
most politically minded legislature
that has sat in Minnesota in many
years. Politics rules the roost in
both house and senate. AS to the
senate, we have the governors
word for it; in the house we see it
day by day.
When Is a Liberal
For the first time in the history
of the state the farmer-labor party
controls one of the branches of the
legislature, the house. Now that it
has won to power in the house, the
farmer-labor majority soft pedals
it's name. Not that it is ashamed
of the farmer-labor label, of course,
but it thinks it better politics to
go by the name of liberal or pro
gressive," and politically minded Is
just what it is not anything else
but.
What is liberal as we find it in
the lower house of the forty-eighth
legislature? 1t is your statesman
who recommends himself 20 all and
sundry, particularly to the voter,
as pure and undefiled in the service
of the "peepul." 1t is your states
man who instantly brands any and
every opponent as "reactionary.
Your modern liberal is a modern
Pharisee, who trusts IN himself
that he is righteous, and despises
all others" He stands in the Forum
and thanks God that he is not as
other men are, schemers, publicans
and sinners, "reactionaries."
The Lower house majority OF
1888 Is "ilberal" in that it rashly
rushes ahead with new and untried
schemes for social betterment.
