We're finding out really who’s who in the world after so long a time. PROHIBITION, Willmar Tribune: This talk of organizing the legislature without reference to the liquor issue is bald folly. It is the test issue of political reform in Minnesota. The state can- not afford to have a speaker who is not open and above board committed to prohibition. This is a critical time and trimmers must be watched carefully. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. The first practical step to change the present method of choosing a president originates with Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, who an- nounces his purpose to offer an amendment to the Constitution pro- viding for a presidential election by direct popular vote. Senator Chamberlain is a native of Migsissippi, but he represents in the senate a state which has been a pioneer in the work of popular gov- ernment as opposed to the idea of a government of delegated powers. His constituents will doubtless respond to his present purpose, but whether the state of his birth will join with the state of hig residence in this is extremely doubtful. Popular election of a president means an election under federal leg- islation, and an election under fed- eral control. Such elections are not welcome in the South, Where state laws are made use of to override the constitutional guarantees to the freedman, and where a small portion of the white population does the vot- ing for the entire electorate. By this means they secure a tremendous in- itial advantage in seeking to control the electoral college or congressi, and it is most unlikely that they will sur- render this advantage spontaneously. However, we welcome the discus- sion which Senator Chamberlain’s proposal will provoke. We had look- ed to see this subject brought up in congress by a Republican—when the instant and inevitable lineup would have been between the Republicapsi and the Democrats, between ' the North and the South. Coming, as it now will, from a Northern Democrat of Southern antecedents, it is possible that the subject will be discussed with more of light and less of heat than we had apprehended. The elec- toral college may be outworn. It may be unjust in its workings. But it should not be replaced by a sys- tem which perpetuates a worse in- justice. The endency of modern poli- tical thought is in the direction of larger power lodged in the hands of the individual voter. The direct pri- mary laws are among the best exam- ples of this tendency. If larger power in the choice of a president is to be imparted to the individual vo- ter through the abolition of the elec- toral college, it is manifestly neces- sary to provide that such power be imparted to every voter, North or South, black or white. Senator Chamberlain’s views on this phase of his proposal will be in- teresting. CANADIAN TRAINMEN TO DEMAND EIGHT HOURS (By United Press) ‘Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 2.—*Asi soon as an allied victory has been defin- itely established, Canadian railway men are going to demand the eight- hour day, the same as the American trainmen have,” said James Mur- dock, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, here today. $100 Reward, $100 The readers of this paper will be wleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment. Hall’'s Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur- faces of the System thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the con- stitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in the curative powers of Hall's Catarrh - Medicine that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to.cure. Send for list of testimonials.
