An opinion handed down a few
days ago by the supreme court of the
United States declaring the citiZen-
ship of Indians, who have been AZ
lotted land in severalty and, there
fore, deciding that 1t is not a crime
to sell such Indians intoxicating HQu-
ors, has been a source of discuss6aA
upon the streets of Pendleton for tfse
past "a hours and is a subject of vi
tai interest to the people OF this
county. Regarding the same, Judge
Stephen A. Lowell gave to the East
Oregonian his views as follows-
"The complete decision Of the courx
is not given in the press dispatches,
and will not reach the Pacific cOaaE
states for several days I do not ap--
prehend, however, that its contents
will be new, and am sure they are
not unexpected. Most lawyers hzNe

and cannot limit the power of the
states to enact and enforce laws reg
ulating liquor traffic among Indians
"And probably the conditions VIA
be improved, because county and mu-
nicipal officials will feel a direct re-
sponsibility. ~tN
"As is we'll known, in recent years
there have been no local deputy
United States marshals. and 1t has
been somewhat difficult to enforce
the federal statutes in consequence
"There can be no question about
the right of the state Notwithstanding
the fact that Indians may be citizens
to prohibit the sale of intoxicating
liquors to them in the same manner
as such sale is prohibited in the case
of minors and habitual drunkards--

but the fact exists, that there hzz
been a law upon the statute books OK
Oregon since 1864, which covers this
very question, and I am of the opiR-
ion that the state and county auth
critics can proceed hereunder, and
the various courts enforce the same
The statute referred 70 is as follows
"Tf any person shall, without thu
authority of the United States or
some authorized officer thereof, sell,
barter or give to any Indian or half
breed who lives and associates with
Indians, any firearms or ammunition
therefor whatever, or any spiritous.
malt or vinous liquor. such person
upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by Imprisonment in the
county Jail not less than two months
or more than six months. or by fine
not less than one, or more than five
hundred dollars
"I would regard it the duty of the
city council to enact ordinances along
this same lineS and doubt not thaS
when the next legislature convenes
the law will be elaborated and
strengthened, but for the present I
consider it as ample for the prohibit
ton of sale OF intoxicating liquors to
Indians"

enough money to meet all the appro-

able shall be used proportionatey in

Suppose we have appropriation for ten
school houses at 1000 each and have
only FIVE thousand dollars on hand.
Under this law It would be our duty to
half build ten school houses and then

place for many years. Mlld,) was his
rame and the interesting feature aoOut
him was the offence for which he had
been imprisoned
He is the kahuna who beat a man L
death with a bible in Puma, Hawaii,
two years ago. The patient was suffer-
ing from sort sort of wasting fever and
Makaio, the kahuna, was called. Ma
kaio in emuating that sentiment of
Ben Johnson to throw physlc to the
dogs" proceeded to dump the medi-
cines out of the house and to give the
patient a more vigorous sort of treat
ment. MakaiO believed in the hard
truths in the Bible, so he took up copy
of Holy Writ and proceeded to whack
the patient on the head with the bible
The man was conscious when the bible
fell upon him, but another whack
the side of the head put him out OF
business, and he never reganed con-
seriousness.
The story got round that Makaio had
beaten his victim to death with the
bible and the arrest of the kahuna fol-
lowed. w. II. Rawllns the present dep
uty high sheriff, prosecuted the case
and Makaio was sentenced to two years
imprisonment. His sentence was short
ened by u days owing to good behavior.
and he was released today. MakaiO
was good prisoner and was always
amenable to discipline. He will prob
ably seek some employment in Homo
