We took a casual glance through the columns and noticed a column length article. with a strong heading reading, “A SERIOUS CIHALLENGE" wherein a hired individual, in the employe of the booze makers and well paid (we know him personally), issued a challenge to the state legisla- tures and to representatives of the Prohibition party and Anti-Saloon League to debate the question: “Resolved, That the prohibition of the manufacture, sale and use of alcoholic beverages_ is contrary to the teaching and example of Christ, opposed to the practice of the early Church, and antagonistic to the Divine Order, as set forth in Ecclesi- artical History and revealed in the Holy Bible.” We've remarked before that we didn’t claim to be a student of the Holy Bible (perhaps we should, however), but that challenge reminds us of the story related of that celebrated Federal judge, William Bean, known. to the west in frontier days as * ‘Billy’ Bean, the law-beyond the ' Pecos.” Maybe the Bible doesn’t get down and argue against the nefarious booze game and what goes with it. Suppose it doesn’t. Booze has the opposite effect of what Christ taught, and you can’t argue that. But referring to Judge Bean. Judge Bean was designated by the government to accompany the horde of workmen who laid the Southern Pacific railroad through to the coast in the widl and wooly days of the great southwest. He progressed .with the road to care for the interests of the government in the wilds and wastes of that immense uncivilized portion of the country. One day a workman drew a revolver and shot a Chinaman dead in his tracks. The slayer was immediately arrested and haled before the Federal judge. Judge Bean assumed a judicial air, reached for a couple of fat law books, looked them through, replaced them, and with all the dignity at his command remarked, ‘“The prisoner is discharged.” There was some question over the decision, but Judge Bean gravely remarked, “I found nothing in the statutes that says a man may not kill a Chinaman/ And ‘mgybe the Bible doesn’t go into a discussion of the booze ques-i : tion. “What it it doésh’t? - Wasn’t it only a few days ago that the warden of the state penitentiary at Stillwater; wasn’t it at the same time the keeper of th® workhouse at Minneapolis informed the public in reports stated fearlessly and openly that huge'percentages of the inmates came to them through the booze route? They did. No, we can’t use the plate matter offered gratitously offered us by the backers of booze. RN S WAS NEW ONE ON RED CROSS The Minneapolis chapter of the Red Cross has bumped against novel phase of war work activities. The chapter hit upon the plan of collecting the junk throughout the city, selling it and using the money for Red Cross work. Now comes about 300 junk collectors and dealers and make protest to Mayor Van Lear. The latter is inclined to take the side of the junkmen, for, says the mayor, the junkmen represent about a thousand persons in families and there's got to be a living coming from somewhere for them, a PSR GET INTO A UNIFORM, “MAC.” And now comes the larger, city dailies, carrying a likeness of Dr. H. N. MacCracken, president of Vassar college, a fashionable and exclusive school for girls in the east, in which the learned individual is quoted in _a statement he gave out as saying: American women “are not doing their duty by their country; but are wasting time and effort in ineffectual forms of war work.” ¢ Goodness gracious Agnes! And he is the president of a college. ‘Well, whoever heard of MacCracken until he extemporized so learnedly on the women of America? American women are not doing thel.x‘ duty, . according to the Vassar girls’ school president’s views, but they are try- ing to, like the Dickens, and we’'ll bet our bottom dollar that there are thousands of American women who have contributed to the war of their " country a doggone sight more than any of the MacCrackens ever did or| ever will. We suggest that MacCracken get into a khaki uniform, like the thou- sands and thousands of American women’s sons, fathers and brothers have done, and tell the kaiser of the lack of performance of duty on the part of the American women. —_— GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T OVERLOOK MAC CRACKEN We respectfully call thé attention of the government to MacCrackeny president of Vassar college, to the profound enunciation that “the Amer- ican women are not doing their duty,” etc., etc. Seems to be the proper caper to appoint college presidents heads of important departments of the government of which they know nothing. Might make MacCracken something or other and tack on a big salary. Garfield was the president of some college and another important executive post has been filled by another. “Mac” might be named flue inspector as a teammate for Gar- fleld. —_—,— : GUESS WAR WON'T INTERFERE NO' 'Well, we don’t feel so, worried as we did several days ago. When it came up for the decision to advertise for bids for the new Normal, there were individuals who took some of the joy out of our life by broaching the war and the possibility that all labor would be needed elsewhere in- stead of on construction work for the Normal. We had already noticed where it had been urged that all contract work of a public nature he held up until later. But now Ramsey county comes along with the letting of contracts for several miles of new paved roads, and if Ramsey county can do so, little old Beltrami can, too. —_————— v A chimpanzee in full evening dress escaped from a ‘show in New York. ‘When found he was mingling with the guests at a swell ‘lobster palace. We are not informed in the dispatch how his keepers distinguished him from the other guests. e AT WAR WHILE ORIVE. AWAY.
