An Important Decision,

ANDERSON, >. o., Nov. 1.-Judge
Wallace has just delivered an oral
opinion on the bench, upholding the
constitutionality of the Despensary
against John O'Donnell for selling
liquor and keeping place for selling
liquor. O,Donell was represented by
Messrs. Murray u Warkins, Tribble &,
Prince, BIease ~ Blease and Winter &,
Simpson. The State was represented
by Solicitor Ansel and Mr.. j. T.. Brea-
zeal.
| When the case was called yesterday
afternoon the defence interposed de-
murrer to Quash the indictment on
| three grounds: first, that the selling of
liquor was no offense under the Dis
pensary Act; second that if it was an
| oiftnse, no punishment was provided;
| aud third, that the Act WAS an Act to
raise revenue and was unconstitutional.
Long and strong arguments were made
to sustain 'hrse grounds by MISSES
Prince, TribOle. Cole Blease. Murray
and Whitner. They made extensive
use Of Judge Hudson's Columbia dpcis.
ion and argued their side le trnedly and
well.
Against them came arguments by
Mr.. Breazeale and Mr.. Ansel, which
were clear and brief and confined strict
ly to the law. The argument on both
sides occupied the evening session yes
terday and part of this forenoon.
Judge Wallice at once delivered orally
a carefully prraparen and unmistakable
decision, overruing the demurrer and
sustaining the Dispensary Act as cleary
constitutional.
He held that selling liquor, except
as provided in the Dispensary Act, is
an etfense against the law.
Second that tha A n rpakoc o,,ol, NJ,
offense a misdemanor and that the
court can intlict penalty therefor, un-
der Section 2663 of the Statutes. Third
that the Act Is clearly constitutional.
In deciding the third point, he was
very emphatic that the purpose of the
Leglsla; ure in passing the Act was to
restrict the sale of liquor. He opposed
Judge Hudson's vie" that the purpose
was t." ":::..se revenue and held that the
:aislng of revenue was only incidental
lie held that the Act was one to regu-
late and restict the traffic in LIQUORS
for the public good and was without
doubt a proper exercise of the police
power OF the State. He said that most
OF the objections to it where as to the
question of the wisdom or the unWis-
dom of the Act, with which the courts
have nothing to do; that was for the
people, who by the bellot-box can
correct mistakes in Legislation, if they
think there are mistakes.
AS for him, he was clearly of the
opinion that the Act was honestly
intended to diminish drunkness' and
the other evils arising from the liquor
traffic, and he was bound to say that
from his Ownobservatiot 1t was accom-
pllshing its purpose. The motion was
overruled, notice of intention to appeal
was given and, on milton, the case was
continued to await the decision of the
Supreme Court.

AS a Matter of Education.

Topeka Advocate.
The Republican League adopted
the following resolution upon the
suffrage question:
We recommend to the favorable
consideration of the Republican clubs
of the United States, AS A MATTER
OF EDUCATION, the question of
granting to the women of the state
and nation the right to vote at all
elections on the same terms and con-
ditiOnS as other citizens.
We ask our readers, and especially
the women of Kansas, to note partic-
ularly the language of this resolution.
The question of equal suffaage is not
proposed for adoption. 1t is submit
ted to the Republican clubs as a mat
ter of education. In short, it is an
evaSiye proposition, by which it is
hoped, without committing the party
in favor of equal suffrage, to fool the
wemen and restrain them from the
Withdrawal of their influence from
the party. There is no doubt that
Republicans need education upon this
subject as upon every other public
question, but in order to make that
education of any value, they should
have a different class Of instructors
from those to which they have beer
accustomed.

Who Owns the Strip?

Does the Cherokee Strip belong to
the Cherokee Indians or the govern
ment? If to the Indians, then why
in the name of God don't the cattle
men pay their honest debt. Is it pos
Sible that our court will discriminate
against the poor ignorant savageS and
help steal away from them and give
to the cattle barOnS that which Justly
belongs to the Indians? No. | can
not think that, for in every case
where the Indians have sued the cat
tie men, the judges have had one COM
mon decision, that the Indians never
had right or title tOit, save as an out
let TO the hunting ground which they
never used, therefore they could not
get the rent they claimed. Now, the
people want it for homes, but cannot
take it without paying eight million,
five hundred thousand dollars for it.
A queer piece of land, this outlet.
When the people want it the Indians
own 1t, but when the cattlemen want
1t for grazing purposes, then the gov
eminent owns it. Would it not be
right for all those who want homes
in the Strip to organize, elect a pres
ident, secretary and treasurer and
raise a common fund for the purpose
of testing the legality of the Indian
title to the outlet. One dollar each
would raise sufficient fund to test
the matter. Why give the Indian
eight million dollars for something
that does already belong to you:
You cannot afford to do it. You will
have all that you can do to get ii
under cultivation and support your
family, that is, if you are a man OF
limited means. / speak from exper-
ience of my neighbOrs and myself.
There is not one in ten that could pay
for their land next year and we all
have used the stricteSt kind of econ.
Omy, besides we live on as fine a body
of land as there is in Oklahoma and
scarcely any Of us but what have one
hundred acres in tlrst-class cultiva
tiOn, so then don't pay the Indians
unless the land belongs to them

May wheat will make a half crop
and if there should be two or three
more rains the late wheat will be as
good as last year.
The prOtacted drOuth from which
this section of the county has been
suffering was broken Saturday night
by a fine rain, which set in about ten
O'Clock and continued falling slowly,
but steadily, throughout the greater
part of the night. 1t has greatly re-
vived the growing crops and brought
smiles to the faces of the farmers.
who had almost deSpaired of raising
any wheat this season. While some
pieces of wheat were too far gone to
be benefited by the rain, many fields
which it was thought would not make
a fourth of a crop, will now, it is con-
fidently believed, make fully a half
crop.

South Haven New Era.
State Veterinary Pritchard arrived
here on the Santa Fe Thursday even
ing to examine into the case
Of Mr.. Creed's horse, northwest of
town, which is affected with some
disease greatly resembling glanders.
The great state horse doctor did not
seem to know any more about the
case than the ordinary country COW
doctors. He asked Mr.. Creed a few
questions, examined the animal cas-
ually, remarked that the case looked
very much like glanders, but might
be only gleet, and that gleet was only
an aggravated form of bad cold. AZ
ter a little pOllifoxing around he
wanted to know of Mr.. Greed if he
intended killing the horse; if not, to
continue the treatment he had been
following, but if he killed the animal
of course he could let up on all other
treatment. Mr.. Greed replied to this
question of the salaried medicine
man, that he had sent for him ex
pressly to find out whether the horse
was affected with glanders or some
malignant disease that would require
him to be killed or not; that he did
not know about the matter himself
The veterinary at last decided that
he might be killed with safety, but
reserved his final decision until he
was ready to board the morning train
when he instructed young Greed tC
execute the death warrant.
