® % k=o | Two days after Judge Wrigley de ided that the local option law went | into effect September 26, Judge H. J. Paulus of Grant county. recognized as one of the sableat judges ou the bench in the state. decided that the word UpAassage’’ as written in the countr local option law refers to the time the law became effective and that Hquor licenses granted after Sept. 20 the date on which the legislature physically passed the law and the governor aftixed.his signature, and before Nov. 20, the date on which the acts Were proclaimed, are valid and good for one year from the time they were granted. The next day the same opinion was given out at Peru. So far Mr. Wrigley seems to be in a hopeloss minority. f R AERD , - If the coronor of Kosciusko county was right in the exercise of his power to prohibit the removal of the bodies of the two victims of the drowning accident. the law should be changed. It was an outrage that those bodies should be held until late at night at the lake just because there was | some red tape to be tied. The undertakers were there and were notallowed to prepare the bodies for burial. It would seem that a law that visits such a hardship upon the friends should be so revised as to inject alittle common sense and humanity into it, or coronors should be elected who have sense enough to administer the law, : .4R R W R Ower a million and a half acres of land in Washington, Idaho and Montana are-to be disposed of by government land drawing to take place at Coeurd’ Alene, Idaho, t eginning on the morving of August 9th. The properties include 1,200,000 acres in the Flathead reservation, 310000 in the Coeur d’Alene and 153,000 in the Spokane reservation. The size of the tracts vary from 40 to 160 acres. The methods used at the drawing in ‘Bonesteel, South Dakota, will be adopted. A~ huge tent will be erected, and in it will be deposited tons of certificates, each in a sealed euvelope. Children will then be turned loose at the mighty heap,and will dig the certificates out of the mass, ' Registration for the drawing will continue until August sth. As would naturally be supposed, this distribution has awakened intense interest in every part of the Union. Our people are land hungry. Vast as the tracts to be disposed of are, they are small compared with the quantity which has been lost to the public by fraud, speculation and greed.—National Monthly., ‘ % 8 RS - A recent issue of the Louisville Post had eight editorials, all dealing with trusts. They ayerage about a half a column in length and explained how every trust robs the consumer. It mentions the beef trust, with its $800,000.000 annual revenue; the steel trust,the sugar trust, the whiskey trust, the paper trust, the telephone trust, but makes the great railway and. money trusts of New York City the head of all of them,and indicts the Tepublican party, and some Democrats, for doing the bidding of the entire outfit. The remedy for such a condition, in the opinion of the Post, is some plan that will insure the people a greater measure of power at the ballot box, where they may elect senators and representatives who will serve the people instead of the trusts. The Post might have added with truth and pertinence that the senate has fixed the tariff schedules to suit most of these trusts. The steel trust has got what it wanted; so has the leather trust, the lumber trust and several other trusts. The sugar trust will doubtless get all it wants, too. before the bill has finally been passed.. It wonld be ludicrous if it were not so serious to the people—the sight of representatives of two great political partiées in the United States working for a lot of trusts in order that their profits may not be molested, except to make them larger. We agreé with the Louisville Post that something ought to be done to protect the consumer. The country is not going to be fooled much longer.—Chattanooga News. / B Rabkße i - The sad drowning accident at Lake jWawasee last Tuesday brought many tears to the eyes and pity to the hearts of our people. Twolives were snuffed out and two homes are clouded in gloom and sorrow. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to the widow and to the little son; to the father and mother and sister of the drowned girl and to the stricken | relatives and friends. It was one of those fatetul things in life that bring death and sorrow; one of those happenings any one of the minute circumstances changed would have meant life; one of those inexplicable sitnation that are beyond human comprehension. ; :

Stansbury evidently got up to [nesist her when the boat, s frail affair, saddenly capsized, throwing them bath into the water. The atrange thing, however, lies in the ;rm that Stansbury - was a fine ;awimmer and beiug so close to shore i he war unable to save himself, or ;ki&ep Miss Keehin afloat until belp {eould reach them.

Several of them have said, duriug-tfm progress of the debate on Mr. Aldrich’s tarifl bill, that advoeacy of free raw materials was never asy part of the Democratic doctrine. Senalor Bailey, who fancies that he is the ft;ufiumtm&hsl Democratie wisdom, has said tust the Demoeratic party had always favored a duty on raw materials. - Perhaps these two gentlemen hiave some source of information that is not accessible to anybody else, but the average Democrat prefers to pin hils faith to the party records. Thesa do not bear out either of them. Aund, despite the superior air of Mr. Bailey, the platforms adopted in the national eonventions of the party must be accepted as its declaration of prineiples. When the maiority shall cease to rule

there will be an end of the party. We recommend that those two gentiemen read the national platform of 1882 o which they will lad: E “We denounce the McKinley tar[iz’? law enacted by the fitty first cons gress as the culminating atrocity of gclmm legislation ;we endorse the ef-Ef-»rw mads by the Democrats of the Epr«m-m congress to modify ita most | oppressive features in the direction of free raw materials.” i That was part of the Demoeratio %dw:rum that won the slection of (irover Cleveland, in a campaign in gwmc-l; the tarifl was the great {ssue: Etnd whether or not so stated in subsequent platforms, it has remained the doctrine of the Democratic party aud Las been adopted by a considerable proportion of the other party. Notonly was it the declaration of the party in national convention in 1882, but, as the reader will observe, free raw materials were then being battled for io the congress.

The supmme’ dourt of the state will pass upon the question next fall ana will either sustain or reject the decision of all judges who have held as Judge Wrigley has held. The contention of Judge Wrigley is that saloon keepers who applied for licenses after the 26th of September, 1908, were aware of the fact that alaw providing for local option had been passed and that it was the intention of the legislature to fix a date for the law to apply to such salcon keepers as were granted licenses after the act passed both bouses and before it was proclaimed a law by the governor of the state.
