A new sidewalk is to be built from
Retzlaff's corner to the railroad track.
Over $50 was subscribed by our citi-
zsn's for that purpose. Now if our
school board will brace up and build
a sidewalk to the schoolhouss that will
be something of great benefit TO every
body. 1t is pretty tough for scholars
to have to wade knee high in mud and
water every spring and it is q great
wonder more of the children are not
sick.

An interesting jury trial occurred in
Justice Jimeson's court last Saturday.
1t appears that f. c. HImle sold John
Ryan horse in 1886, guaranteeing the
animal to be sound. 1t was then
shown by Ryan that the horse was
lame when he bought it and that he was
told that the lameness resulted frem in.
juries received in the cars. Hamle fore.
closed and bought in the animal the
same fall, Ryan objecting to pay for the
animal on the grounds that she was
not sound as guaranteed. Hamle then
brought suit 10 recover the balance due
on the nete, something over sl00, and
tho intelligent jury rendered verdict
for the plaintiff for ~.

Quoting from the Literary Digest in a
lengthy resume of various authorities
in support Of prohibition-the follow
ing decisions of of the United States
supreme court are taken:
/. "Thsre is no inherent right in a
citizen 10 sell Intoxicating liquors by
retail; it IS not the privilege of a citizen
of a state or citizen of the United
States" California vs.. Christensen.
The court declares further that the
existence and continuance of saloons
''is matter of legislative will only
To which the question arises: Can the
legislature grant such rights us is claim.
ed for the traffic?
Here again our court of last resort
replies:
2. mo legislature can bargain away
the public health or the public morals.
The people themselves cannot do 1t,
much less their servants. Government
is organized with view to their pro.
lection, and cannot d:vest itself of the
power to provide for them" Stone VS..
Mississippi.
Hence to license the liquor evil is
without the sanction Of our common
and higher law and in direct opposition
to the principles of our government as
set forth by the court of last resort and
again it declares.
For we cannot shut out of view
the fact that the public health, the pup
lie morals, and the public safety may
be endangered by the general use Of
Intoxicating drinks, nor the facts estab-
lished by statistics accessible to every
enc, that the disorder, pauperlsm and
crime prevalent in the country are, in
some degree at least, traceable to this
evil. ~. S. Supreme court in Kansas
case.
''The statistics of every state show
~ greater amount of crime and misery
attributable to the use of ardent spirits
obtained at the retail liquor saloons
than te any ether source "-California
VS.. Christensen.
1t looks as if prohibition has the
strongest possible endorsement from
the highest legal tribunal of human
government.
