MARRIAGE LICENSES
Reach new TOTAL

On the heels of the gin marriage
law which went into effect Monday,
went a new record for marriage Ii
censes issued in the county for one
month, according to Carl Peterson,
clerk of court who reports that in
June 25 couples made application to
wed. Eight licenses were granted
Saturday the Headline day to
make application.
Monday marked the start of a
greatly increased schedule of ex-
penses for wouldlbe brides and
lbridegrooms as all who obtain Ii
censes now must accompany their
applications with certificates show
ing they have passed medical ex-
aminations as required by the new
law.
Obtaining such certificates, it is
estimated will add from 500 to S25
to the costs OF getting a license.
In many parts of the state, licens-
es were issued to couples who de-
clared they did not intend to use
them for some time.
A ruling by Attorney-general Ray
mond r. Maggie is that licenses thus
obtained may be used after an in
definite time.

It has been learned that factories
are running at top speed in an effort
to supply orders now standing.
Farmers are urged to place orders

THAT OLSON CUSTER
(UniOn AdvOcate)

The sudden dismissal of the custer
neapolis Thursday was not unex-
pected The only surprising part Of
the entire procedure was the fact
that a district court judge had the
patience to listen to proceeding so
smudgy with all the evidence Of a
deliberate frame-up. Judge Dickin-
son dismissed the case with some
caustic comment calculated to set the
wags buzzing with speculatiOns as to
the judges political plans in 1886.
That it was the work of the Mime
apolis Citizens Alliance was estab-
lished beyond question, and some may
let it go at that. But underneath the
entire proceeding one could detect the
odor of bad politics, with the char
acteristic scent of Senator Tom Schall
very much in evidence. And there
were dirty finger marks that might
have shown the fingerprints of Tom
Davis if they mad been placed under
the microscope. There were other
telltale clues no one attempted to run
down.
The dismissal of the silly case was
complete vindication of Governor
Olson of the charge that he had VIC
lated the corrupt practices act. At
the same time it was an indictment
of the Citizens Alliance as well as a
rebuke that should put that organiza-
ton in place for some time to come
However, it is not likely that the
outcome of the case will have a chas-
manners cannot be taught alley cats
You may punish them, scold them and
disown them. but they'll always turn
up sooner or later with dirty noses

HARD AT 1T

NV, what a stir was made in ST.
Paul police circles the other day.
Four officers were told to quit or be
expelled and five were suspended for
thirty days, pending further develop
ments The five who were suspended
included Nj. ]. Culligan, chief of po-
lice.
The st. Paul Daily News has been
pegging away at the crime situation
in the capital city for months, and
cooperating with Public Safety Com
missioner Warren it seems that they
now have the goods on the police.
To have police accept brides is worse
than no police at all. Those who are
engaged to enforce the laws and up
hold respect for law should certainly
be setting better example than UNI
derworld characters.
To be sure, Public Safety Commits
sioner Warren and the st. Paul Daily
News have worked arduOusly and with
determination to secure the infOl ma
tiOn leading to the shake-up in the
police department. They have de-
voted much time and effort to the
task and they have been very exact
ing in their methods. If the evidence
finds the police guilty of corruption
much credit will be due the news
paper and the commissioner.

President Advocates

1t seems that President Roosevelt
is out to collect more revenue through
the net income, gift, inheritance, and
estate taxes in the upper brackets.
1t is a sort of share the wealth"
program which has been getting
much publicity by the long-winded
and over publicized Senator Long of
Louisiana. 1t is said that the presi-
dent had the jump on the senator a
couple of years ago in advocating a
program along the lines of sharing
the wealth.
But the ambitious senator shouted
it from the housetops so much and so
necessarily that many seemed to think
it had originated in his brains.
However, it matters little who gets
credit for the origin of the phrase.
The main thing is that there is sim
cerity back of the program, that it
is not presented at this time for the
purpose of gaining favorable publicity
and at a later date be carried into
law. but that it will be made law in
this session of Congress.
The big fortunes can be tanned down
considerably through the net income,
gift, Inheritance and estate taxes. If
on top of this, interest rates are re-
duced. the program of the govern
ment will be going in the right ri
rection, for the welfare of the great
big majority of the people.
