By a vote of three to two the Minne sota supreme court has decided that social clubs in this state, if they wish to dispense liquors,musttake out a re tail license under the same restrictions as are required from saloons. Heretofore clubs of this character, dispensing liquor enly to members, have been asked to pay only the li cense required by the federal govern ment but in 1907 certain parties in Mankato raised a question as to the justice of the exemption and an appeal was made to Attorney General Young. That official decided that a club li cense was necessary. Then the Minnesota club of St. Paul, the most prominent in the state, asked to have a test case brought and it was tried in Ramsey county on stipulated facts. Judge Kelly, the trial judge, held directly opposite to the views ot the attorney general, but on an ap peal brought by the latter the supreme court reverses the lower court. The vote, however, is divided on the ques tion, Start, Lewis and Brown holding for a license and Elliot and Jaggard dissenting. In nearly every city of any conse quence in the state there is a club that will be affected by the decision. New Ulm has one, St. Peter has one, Man kato has one and St. Paul and Minne apolis have several. Some of them will not be able to pay the license re quired by the communities in which they exist, while others, like the Min neapolis club, the Roosevelt club, the Town and Country club and the Mini kahda club, will be put out of existence entirely because located in districts where liquor selling places of any kind are strictly prohibited. Following the announcement of the decision a bill was introduced in the legislatui to nullify its effect. A state farmers' institute will be held at Courtland on the 11th of Feb ruary.
