Cass ‘Lake, Minn., March 11.—The following petition, protesting against the proposed national park, bas circulated here and very numerously signed: The Honorable House and Senate of Representatives of the State of Minnesota: Your petitioners would respectfully represent and petition: That they are citizens and taxpayers of the state of Minnesota, and resi- dents of the county of Cass therein their various business ventures, and occupations, and that their investments, financial interests and prosperity are dependent solely and entirely on the developement and settlement of said section of the state; that they were induced and en- couraged to remove to said section by the passage of the act of congress known as the Nelson bill, providing for the opening of the former Indian lands to settlement and subsequent legislation and proclamations |cok- ing to that end: that your petitioners are informed that a joint resoiution to congress is under consideration by your honorable body reatirming the provisions of your memorial of Feb. 20, 1899, and petitioning congress for the ointment of a commission to investigate the advisability of creat- ing a national park on said Indian, lands, the result of which would bey to infinitely postpone the opening off said lands as provided for in said! Nelson act, greatly to the injury off your petitioner: the general interests of the state Minnesota. Now, therefore, your, petitioners desire to earnestiy protesif against such tion by your honorabl body, and against any action which? will delay or t in delaying the opening of said lands to settlement; and do petition and pray that suc action only may ke taken as will as] sist congress in speedily throwing said lands open as proyided, and re; sult in the immediate developement of the rich timber and agricultural} interests of this section of the state of Minnesota. Goes Through The House Like the Australian ballot system, the primary election Jaw. is to be gradually. The popularity of the pro- pesed change is shown by the vote on the Dunn billin the house Mon- day, but the conservative tendency oi | the legislature is eviaced by the lim- itation of the reform to city, county, | legislative and congressional offices | That the law will be extended to state offices in 1903 admits of but little j doubt. ‘The vote, 83 to 14, shows the natural strength of the proposition to make the people masters of the prim- aries. ‘The bilipassed by the house is that ntroduced by Representative Dunn, the model ot which is the Minneapolis law, though it varies from that in one important particular. By the tertns of that law the voter is*giveu a’ballot containing all the party tickets, so that his vote remains secret. *The provision of the Dunn bill in this re- gard 1s as follows: “All persons entitled to registration as voters in the election district on the day of a primary election, for the purpose of voting at the primary elec- tion, for the purpose of voting at the ensuing election, shall be enutled to participate in the primary election, but no voter shall receive a primary ballot or be entitled to vote uniil he shail have first been duly registered as a voter then and there in the manner provided by law, upon which regis- tration (unless challenged, and if challenged, then only in the event that the challenge is determined in favor of the voter) he shall be en- titled forthwith, but ‘not lates, to re- ceive such ballot of the political party, with which he then declares ( under oath if his right thereto is challenged ) that he affilated, and a majority of whose candidates he supported at the last general election, and with which party he proposes to affiliate at the next election, provided that a first voter shall not be required to deciate his past political affihation.” Among the improvements secured by this law will be the obliteration of the evil system by which the machine politicians in the cities have been mn j the habit of sending a large number | .of voters controlled by them into the primaries of both parties, tius defeat. | ing In too many cases_ the intentions of the honorable voters of both parties. | It seem like the senate will accept | this bill without substantiatiai amend- j} ments. Certainly that body 1s by an ; overwhelming majority in favor of the principles of the primary election law. | The.

Crack Shots Faom All Over Minnesota | Compete For The Hirschy Trophy The contest forthe Hirschy Trophy which within the past month has twice been won by Grand Rapids crac: shots takes piace on the club grounds | ‘ near McKenney Lake this afternoon and a keen and spinted contest is ex- | § pected. Itis not althogether improba- bie that the trophy wili again be won by a local marksman. A large numb- er of sportsmen from Duluth, Superior St. Paul and Minneapolis are present | and no doubt the scores will be close. Very complete arrangements have been made for the occasion our citiz- ens having assisted in every possible Manner. “Twin City marksmen will go to; Grand Rapids. Minn., March 15, to participate ina shoot for the Hirschy trophy, Wilkinson, of St. Paul, has issued a challenge to Ed. Bergen, Grand Rapids, the present holder of | the cup, for a match, March 16, and he will be accompanied on the trip by a number of sportsmen. It is expect- ed that 12 will go ‘The program for the first day will contain a 25-bird match for the trop- hy, with an entrance fee of $10, birds extra. On the second day there will be 10 events of 15 traget each. ‘ihe club will add $60 to the entrance money.

Conviviality, rather than appetite, 1s productive of drunk- ness. A man goes into a saloon to get a drink, me:ts a friend, who says: “Join me” Another dropes in, and perhaps another, As the saying is “one drink brings on another,” and | there you are! In view of this evil, a law has been | introduced in the legislature of New Jersey, providing a tolerable service penalty tor every man whe asks an- other person to dnnk with him, and applying the same to any saloonkeeper who gives away a drink, If sucha law could be enforced, it would be pro- ductive of great good. One who has not contracted the drink habit would not think of drinking except for the sociality of 1. ‘This practice of treat- ment doves not exist among temperate people. It seems to have had its ori- gin in England, and has been carried to such astonishing excess 1n this coun- try; particularly in the west, that it is not uncommon for a man to aska bar- room full of total strangers to drink with him, and the promiscuous con- viviality of the proceedings is seidom resented. It is to be feared that an anti-treat- ing law passed in any state would merly add one more to the list SSTSLSSLS2SWVLSI!ES: Se <e5elele2: tala VOVANTE ofy wan =— GRAND RAPIDS. PVHRNRY HUGHES & C0.
