HITCHCOCK, P Snwred in the postoffice st Bemid)l, Minn., a4 second clsss matter, nrrrrrr, PP PP PP PP P90 P PP P, SUBSCRIPTION 85 PER YEAR S ——— - Tur story of how the United States government is about to configcate all intoxicating liquors n northern Minnesota has grown until it covers practically two thirds of the state. It has made pretty good newspaper copy and that is all there isto it Fven granting that treaties and acts of congress of forty and fifty years ago.do provide for the pro- hibition of liquor selling in the “Indian counvry,” and that the Indian country means all lands formerly owned by the Indians, United States Dis- trict Attorney Haupt well says, “is a dead letter and exists solely the law, as through the neglect of congress to proyide otherwise.” The law, if there be such a law, has not been enforced for forty years, and it never will be enforced. T'wis most important drainage survey to be in the state is that which is now under- way in charge of lingineer Aber- crombie in undertaken northern Beltrami and Itasca counties, IHere are thousands of acres of swamp lands waiting to be made fruitful. The survey will show us just what it will cost vo turn this vast swamp intoa farming couhtry. We venture that Iingineer Aber- crombie’s report will be one of arguments be presented the most which will powerful before the next legislature in favor of the adoption of & comprehensive drainage policy by the state. Tuere is nothing like knowing how. The average cow, accord and food 166 pounds of butter annually, while ing to the state dairy commissioner, produces by right management any good can be made to produce 476.2 pounds annuaily. Minne- sota farmers should sit up and tako notice of the fact that thoy are only making one third as much out of their cows as it is possible to make, T arid lands of the west are pretty poor stufl, but millions of idollars are being spent for irriga- tion that they may be made pro- ductive. How much more rea- son, then, that we should drain lands rich of Minnesota, which need but to be rid of the | { A5 : surplus water upon them, 1 be getor whoe allowed himself to be | lo#s on cars, 0, the most fruitfal lands in the world, Wi MUST sympathize with the Japanese people in their terrible digappointment over the conclu® sion of the peace treaty. Had such a treaty been concluded by the United States after the con- clusion of a war waged for its preservation, who shall attempt to gay that the people of this country would have agreed that it was wise? The Japanese bave held themselves in hand better than we would under similar conditions, Ir w18 'rUE, ag claimed in a news article published in the Pioneer yesterday, that the story of the proposed confiscation of all intoxicating liquors in northern Minnesota, is a grafting scheme of a few individuals, our grafiing friends have launched something that has got away from them, The thing has suddenly grown t00 big to be used for hold up PU POses, Komuna should tarry and see us all & while.
