Bismarck Tribune: Press dispatches
state President Roosevelt has decided
he willaccept no more courtesies in the
way of free transportation at the hands
of the railroads and it is even suspected
he paid all the expenses of his last trip
out of his own pocket All the rail-
roads have been more than glad to
transport presidents and their parties
on account of the advertising received
therefrom. The president of great
nation should not be used as an ad-
vertising medium. Neither should he
be required to pay from his private
purse the enormous expense attached
to the visits to the various states
which the unwritten law now requires
him to make. This cost should be
borne by the government as part of the
executive expense, or the salary of the
president raised sufficiently to cover
it. The people of the country are
to a view Of the man they
have placed at the head of the govern
ment, to hear him personally ex press
his views on issues, present or prospec-
tive. Communication with the people
at large is also beneficial to the execu-
tive. Regardless of his politics the
visit arouses the patriotism
of the masses, tends to unite sections
and emphasize the conviction that
however diverse local interests may be,
after all we are people united in sup
porting the best government on earth.
Presidential visits are good thing
and should be continued, not at the
expense Of the railroads, nor Of the
executive, but at the expense Of the
people at lalge the government.

three children vert found in Minnea-

utterly des stitute. Her husband owns
a farm near Fairmount, N. D. The
woman told story of years of hard.

evidence of hard labor. but the hus.
band was not satisfied. They must
work more. Apparently ''it was not

"they couldn t do enough work to pay
for their board. The woman and
children walked to Barrett, Mimi.
where kindly people took pity on them
and as the woman thought she had a
relative in Minneapolis, they furnish
ed her with ticket. But when the
city was reached the relative could
not be found. So there in the depot,

tions, without food for some time
and unable to speak any language but

The woman's story was Investigated,
found to bo true and the poor creature
with her children were sent back to
North Dakota. There is new law
on the statute books which fits this
case very we'll. It plainly states that
anyone who wilfully omits to furnish
proper food, clothing, shelter. or
suitable care to his wife and child,
upon conviction shall be deemed guilty
of felony. The law gives the negli-
gent parent opportunity to enter bond
to provide such food, care and clothing
and the court may suspend sentence
pending the fulfillment of those duties.
IF this man Hagedus is within the
reach of States Attorney Wolfe he
could not do better act than to at
least make him provide that bond, if
not punish him for his inhuman treat.

on to his neighbor's land. While
Austin and his two young sons were
planting potatoes and keeping track of
the cattle at the same time, they be-
came too interested in the potatoes,
and the cattle got to the edge of
neighbor's field. Thinking of the
cattle they looked in time to see An
ton Hellrude driving them away.
Austin saddled his horse and started
after his property. Austin soon sue
ceeded in heading them home. And
when Hellrude saw he could not get
the cattle to the pound he flew into a
passion, got a stick. took after Austin
striking at him. AT one time he
struck with such violence it threw
him off his horse. Austin's g horse was
the best Of the two so he escaped un-
injured. He is we'll respected citi-
zen, a good neighbor, and in every
way tries to mind his own business.
Hellrude sometimes acts oddly and
this was one of the sometimes.
The only reason we had nothing for

Court in Pig Cases.
PALDA REVERS SED
And Cases Of State vs.. Virgo and State vs..

for New Trial. Doubtful If
Evidence can now be had.

vs. George L. Virgo and State vs.
Robert Momberg and Frank Bauer.
both liquor cases and have reversed
the trial Court and remanded the
cases for new trial. In the Virgo
case the syllabus Of the court is as
follows; 'The definition of intox-
icating liquors contained in Section
1898 Revised Code of 1899 includes
liquors or liquids that will produce
inoxica tion' and not those which
will not intoxicate. It was error
therefore to instruct the jury in this
case that amy liquors which contain
any percentage of alcohol. if sold as a
beverage are intoxicating liquors un-
der our law 2nd.. 'sTo sustain q
plea Of former scquittal it must ap-
pear that the offense for which the de-
fendant was acquitted was the same
offense as that for which he is being
tried. This decides an important
point in the intoxicating liquors law.
We have now Supreme Court
decision defining what is meant by
Intoxicating liquors. " Under our
statute it has been contended by a
great many people that anything
which contained any PERCENTAGE of
alcohol, if sold as beverage, was
Intoxicating liquor" The Supreme
Court, in harmony with the United
States statutes, has held this erroneous
and maintain that the liquor must pro-
duce intoxication.
In the Bauer and Momberg case the
syllabus of the court is that "constru-
ing section 1914 of the Revised Code
which makes the fact that one has or
keeps posted in or about his place of
business United States Revenue Re-
ceipt or License for the sale of distills
ed or fermented liquors. prima facie
evidence that he is selling or keeping
for sale intoxicating liquors contrary
to law, it is held that by prima facie
evidence is meant competent evidence
and evidence that is legally sufficient
to justify the jury IN finding the fact
of unlawful sales, provided it satisfies
them beyond reasonable doubt but
not otherwise. It is not conclusive
and to so instruct is error. The in
struction given by Judge Palda in this
case was as follows:
II charge you that the finding of
United States license for the sale Of
malt liquors on these premises and in
the possession of these defendants, is
prima facie evidence Of their guilt, if
you find proof to your satisfaction be-
yond a reasonable doubt as to that and
as to the other material allegations.
By prima facie evidence is meant evil
idence which you must receive as con-
elusive unless the same is explained
by the defendants by other evidence
produced before you in the case.,'''
The supreme court held the in
structions erroneous and prejudicial.
Both cases are remanded for new trial
and both present something of interest
at this time inasmuch as they are vely
old cases and it is doubtful if evidence
can now be obtained for trial.

First Official Shoot

The Bottineau Gun Club held an
official shoot on Wednesday evening in
which ten members participated. A
number of them had little or no pre-
vious experience with trap shooting
hence some of the scores are pretty low
but there is plenty of enthusiasm and
it is likely that subsequent shoots will
show much better markings. The
match Wednesday evening was twenty

UGLY HANDS.

The roughened hands that never shirked,
The plain brown hands that planned and worked,
Are fold ed now in peace and rest
Upon the wayworn, weary breast.
Ger ivory keys they never strayed;
Embroidery. lace they never made
Poor tired hands! On one of them
Flashed never brilliant, shining gem.
They cooked and " ashed, they scrubbed and mend
ed,
Unto the children fondly tended
They soothed the head that ached and heat
And gently bathed the fevered feet
They gladly toiled from morn till night
That they might other hands keep white
And tried so hard to roses spread
Adown the path for loved ones tread.
They were so tender, quiet, we
Meier noticed how unselishy
They casped each cross with trust and prayer
And burdens bore more than their share.
Aye, ugly, coarse, unlovey quite.
They look to our defective sight;
But to their missions dutiful.
In Gods eyes they are beautiful.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG.

How old are you! The adage says
that women are as old as they look
and men as old as they feel. That's
wrong. A man and woman are as old
as they think themselves to be.
Growing old is largely habit of
the mind. Gas man thinketh in his
heart so is he." If he begins shortly
after middle age to imagine himself
growing old he will be old.
To keen ones self from decrepti-
tude is somewhat a matter of will
power. The fates are kind to the
man who hangs on to life with both
hands. He who let's go will go: Death
is slow only to tackle the tenacious.
Ponce de Leon searched in the
wrong place for the fountain Of youth.
1t is in ones self. One must keep
ones self young inside. So that while
"the other man perisheth the inner
man is renewed day by day."
When the human mind ceases to
exert itself, when there is no longer
an active interest in the affairs of this
life, when the man stops reading and
thinking and doing, the man, like a
blasted tree, begins to die at the top.
You are as old as you think you
are. Keep the harness on. Your
Job is not done.
