PROHIBITION WINS
IN MINNEAPOLIS
E. E. lobcck Tells of
In Twelfth Ward.
Fight
One of the most novel elections
ever conducted in the state was
held Tuesday in the twelfth ward
Minneapolis. There is no state law
whereby the people of a city the
size of Minneapolis are permitted
to vote on the license question.
Attempts have been made to secure
such laws but in vain while the pre
sent element has control of the leg
islative machinery. But the people
of Minneapolis have been able to
elect a few aldermen who dare
to take more advanced stand on
public questions of this kind and
therefore adopted a resolution pro
viding for an election in the twelfth
ward where there are twelve saloons
to which conditions a large number
of those people object. All the legal
voters who voted at the last election
and the women who voted at the"
last election for members of the
school board were permitted to vote.
A strenuous campaign was waged.
Several of the prominent business
men of the city took an active part
in the campaign against license
condemning the saloon traffic in no
unmistakable terms. Mr. Lobeck
of Douglas county was secured as
one of the leading spokesmen. The
Minneapolis Tribune gives him a
very extended notice which we
reprint.
The saloon element as usual con
ducted a quiet campaign, simply
doing "personal work." They had
several automobiles in their service
and every saloon was closed. All
the saloonkeepers and bartenders
were busy bringing in the voters
for their side.
Among the speakers selected by
the "dry" element of the twelfth
ward to discuss the merits of the
exclusion of the saloons from the
district, none possesses more of the
reformer's zeal than E. £. Lobeck
of Alexandria former member of
the legislature, called the "untamed
lion," form the undaunted manner
in which he has assaulted the liquor
business.
Mr. Lobeck addressed a lar&e
gathering of Twelfth ward people
Monday night in the Bethany
Norw. Lutheran church on the
merits of the election held Tuesday.
The remarkable arrangement of the
average man's mind by which he
is able to see no barm in the action
of the saloonkeeper which would be
a terrible thing in any one else was
the basis of the argument of the
speaker. He told of the high ideal
held by modern people regarding
the education of their children and
the conduct of their churches while
they were willing to excuse in the
liquor merchant actions which
would not be tolerated in any one
else.
The economic side of the saloon
question was given some attention
by the speaker. He ridiculed the
contention of the saloon element
that a large part of the money spent
in saloons went back to the common
man as payment for labor and declar
ed that out of every dollar spent over
the bar only 2 cents represented the
laborVost of the liquor, while in a
grocery store, meat or shoe shop
the percentage would be at least
16 cents.
Mr. Lobeck cited the example
set by many modern saloonkeep
ers who refuse to employ bartenders
who touch the merchandise they sell
and said if their goods were too
dangerous for the men who sell them
to use, they were also too dangerous
for the residents and especially
the growing generation of the south
end of the city.
"Go to the polls tomorrow and
end for all time the curse of the
liquor abomination in your section
of the city," said Mr. Lobeck.
"Your opportunity is at hand and
if you fail to grasp it you are set
tling a load of sorrow and trouble
on the heads of your children which
you will never be able to atone for.
The liquor traffic is a curse. It saps
the brains, physical vigor and
economic substance of every man
who allows it to control him and
no man can play with it without
running a terrible risk of even
tually succumbing to the evil."
The election was vigorously con
tested by both sides. The liquor
people seemed from the start to
be the best organized but some of
their workers were walking signs
of the traffic's handiwork and now
it is generally conceded the result
might have been more favorable to
them if these specimen's had been
stored away somewheres.
The "drys" won with a majority
of 128. Only one precinct went
"wet." This election is a clear
and convincing sign that the people
of the large cities ought to be given
the right to vote on this issue as
well as people in the smaller towns.

Belle Fourche, S. Dak.,
May 18, 1911.
Unless unfavorable weather inter
feres the contractors will complete
the Belle Fourche dam early in
June. This structure is one of the
most spectacular engineering work
of the Reclamation Service, and
its construction has attracted
widespread interest on the part of
engineers from all parts of the
world.
In order to provide a storage
reservoir which will contiol the
flood and normal flow of a whole
river, the Government has built an
enormous embankment to close the
depression between two hills. This
wall of earth is 6,200 feet long,
with a maximum height of 115 feet.
It is 20 feet wide on top, and 500
feet thick at base. It contains
1,600,000 cubic yards of material.
After the dam was in place the
water slope was covered with a
layer of carefully screened gravel,
on which was laid a paving of con
crete blocks, each weighing from
2,000 to 3,000 pounds. The nearest
gravel pit was 12 miles away, so
the contractors set up a plant at
the pit, and built a railroad to the
dam on which were conveyed the
heavy concrete blocks.
A concrete dam across the river
turns the entire stream into a canal
with a capacity of 1,600 cubic feet
per second, which conveys the water
to the reservoir. The reservoir
when filled is the largest lake in
South Dakota. From it the prin
cipal canals carry the water to the
irrigable lands in the beautiful
Belle Fourche Valley, and 100,000
acres ultimately will be supplied.
Settlement has been rapid here
since construction began. Once
the land of the cow boy the valley
has now become a thrifty agricul
tural community. The opportuni
ties it offers for the settler the
merchant and professional man,
are numerous and varied. A large
acreage will be ready for the home
maker in the near future. Three
new towns have risen as if by magic
within the past few years affording
openings for town people. A branch
railroad has been extended to the
limits of the project, furnishing
excellent transportation facilities.
Full information will be supplied
upon request to the Statistician,

AMERICAN SNUFF COMPANY,
Do You Love the Trusts Enough to
Pay Four Profits on Your Shoes?
Every year the American people pay Millions of Dollars more
than they need to for their shoes. They pay E
Profits—the Hide Trust's profit, the Leather Trust's profit,
profits to the Leather Jobber and the Shoe Jobber.
Endicott-Johnson shoes are the only shoes in this country that are free from these four profits.
Endicott, Johnson & Co. buy their hides in the open market of the world. No profits to
the Hide Trust. They tan--m their own tanneries—every foot and every pound of leather
they put into their shoes. No profits to the Leather Trust and the Leather Jobber.
They sell direct from the factory to your home shoe dealer. No profits
to the Shoe Jobber. Endicott-Johnson shoes reach your feet 50 cents to $1.00
cheaper than any other shoes of the same appearance and style.
And what is better—you'll get more service out of Endicott-Johnson shoes
that you ever bought for the same money—because the leather is there, and
that means everything in a shoe.
For dress and business wear, ask for the ENDWELL (Goodyear Welt)
line—retailing at $3.00, $3.50 and $4.00.
ENDWELL shoes give you all the little niceties of the latest shoe modes
your choice of two hundred styles—Shoes and Oxfords—lace and
button—full variety of lasts and widths of toe—all the colors of
leather.
