from selling such liquors to minors, and
the fact of the defendent having license
is no defense. They also hold to the
same rule in prosecution for selling to
an habltual drunkard. Also that it is not
necessary to allege In the complaint or
prove IN the evidence what kind of
liquors were sold other than intoxicating
liquors.
Chicago Inter-Ocean: Dakota has the
requisite population, and her best inter-
ests demand that she should be admitted
as state without contest. The out
look justifes the suggestion that next
year will see full hundred thousand
added to the population of Dakota. They
will be the thrifty, energetic, law-abidlng
immigrants, from all the states, and will
be entirely worthy of the best care Of the
government. The men or party who set
themselves to work against Dakota's ad-
mission as state for paltry or party rea-
sons will hear something drop, and it will
not be Dakota.
