the treaties under which they were ac-
| CURED from the Indians. There were
three distinct treaties covering differ
net sections, but in each treaty the
condition was made that the sale Of
liquor SHOULD be prohibited in the ter;
by congress or ordered by the presi-
dent Of the United States
Congress has never ordered otherwise,
so it seems to be up to President Roose-
welt. If he desires to follow up the
opportunity offered by Attorney. Gen
eral Moody's decision, he can decree
that Minneapolis, Duluth and al north,
unless he orders otherwise, federal Of
| ficials can proceed to close the saloons
