Wiiieir.an, is preparing a„bill, Avhlch if enacted law, is likely to aid materially in thinning out 8ie blind pigs of the state. The proposed law requlfes all intoxicating liquors shipped into the state to^c inspected for purity at the state line. A standard of purity will be established and inspectors 11, test liquor intended for consumption in North Da kota along the line of the present oil inspection law. Another feature of the bill requires the inspectors to record the name of all consignees, and furnisn a report to the states attorney of each county of all liquor consignments for that county. In this way the states attorney will be appraised of where the intoxicants go, and if unusual quantities are shipped to any individual the matter can be easily investigated. The bill commends itself both oi\ the grounds of prohibition and a relief from the horrible adulterations shipped into the state under the name of whiskey.—St. Thomas Times. "Xat.ire gave him poise, judicial temperament, great force of character and tenacity of purpose. His long life in the public service is distinguished for. its marked ability, its wisdom, its integrity, its patriotism. He has taken advance ground upon the groat issues which engage the profoundest thought of the people of this great country. He is progressive in principle. Pause a moment and consider. The last 10 years in the life of the American government are big with events. In all that time, whether in the Philippines or in Cuba, In Porto Rico or in Panama, or in the councils of the cabinet, whenever problems most trying ana complex, demanding the greatest courage and the broadest statesmanship, arose he had a large grasp and displayed the highest executive ability. Two presidents in succession have called upon this man, who is our honored guest today, WUitam Howa-d Taft." The above glowing tribute was accorded by Sen ator LaFollette to the Republican presidential can didate at Madison, Wis., where Mr. Taft addressed a vast throng of people recently. The unqualifl«ci endorsement of Wm. H. Tatt's candidacy by the great reform leaders, Roosevelt, Hughes and l^a Follette, can leave no doubt in the public mind as to their estimate of the man. NorlU Dakota Republicans will regret that Gov ernor Cummins of Iowa, who expectedi to, make two or three political speeches in North Dakota, has been compelled, on account of the exactions of the comniUee in his own state, to cancel his North Da-5 kota assignments.
