indian AlIotments Placed in
Same Category With
Reservations.
THE LIQUOR LAWS HOLE
a Penitentisry Offense to Introduce In
toxieants Onto Allotted Lands,
the Same as on Reser-
vations.

Sioux Fails. :. D., May l9.-The
United states authorities for South
Dakota are greatly pleased over the
decision OF the United States supreme
court, rendered Monday. in the case
OF James Lincoln. who was convicted
in the United States court of Nebras-
ka on an Indictment charging him with
the unlawful introduction Of liquor
into the Winnebago Indian reservation.
He was found guilty and sentenced
to Imprisonment for a period OF sixty
DAYS and fined 500. The ase came
before the supreme court on a writ OF
habeas corpus, Lincoln's attorneys
seeking 10 nave him discharged from
custody on the ground that the United
States court was without jurisdiction.
The decision OF the supreme court
In this case is of Importance to the
federal authorities of every state in
which Indians ave taken their allot-
ments OF land. Ever since the Brewer
decision. holding that IL was not a vio-
lation OF the federal statutes for In
dams who have taxa their allotments
TO purchase liquor. there has been UNI
certainty as TO whether or not the fed
eral courts had authority TO regard the
land included in allotments the same
as the regular Indian reservations.
Notwithstanding the Brewer decis-
ion, there has never been any question
about the government having authority
TO arrest and prosecute Indians or
other persons who take liquor to the
regular I.-1ian reservations, but
whether the land included in the allot-
ments gigen to Indians should be treat
ed the same as the regular reservations
has been a disputed question.
The decision Of the United States SUI
preme court therefore means that while
Indians who have taken allotments are
entitled TO purchase liquor in the towns
adjacent to their homes or elsewhere,
they cannot lawfully take liquor to al
lotted lands, any more than they can
TO Indian reservations, and the United
States courts will have power in future
to punish Indians or whites who take
liquor to allotted lands, the same as
those who are charged with introduce
ing liquor into the regular Indian res
srvations.

DISASTROUS FIRE
AT sioux FALLS
Thirty-eight Head Of Horses
Burned in Boarding Stable
at Early Hour.
THE LOSS is $500
Destruction of the Stable and Contents
Was Complete-Amount Of In
suranee Carried Is Not
Known.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 16.-A disas-
trous fire this morning at 2 O'Clock re-
suited in the total destruction of the
Gardiner & Johnson livery and board
ing stable at the corner of Seventh and
Dakota streets, entailing a loss of $25,-
900.
The fire had secured good Roadway
before the alarm was turned in and by
he time the department reached the
scene of the blaze all that could be
done was to save adjacent property.
The stable was n of the largest in the
city and was run principally as IL
boarding stable, many of the dray
teams of the city being housed there.
Among the teams boarded at the burn
ed stable were those of the Jewett
Bros. wholesale grocery house, the
Jewett's loss being $l,400. Another
valuable horse burned was a stallion
brought to the BARN but two days ago
and valued at over 81, 1000. Thirty-eight
head of horses burned.
1t is not known how the fire started.
There is some talk of incendiarism, but
the most plausible theory is that some
stable hand dropped a lighted match
OF that a lantern was overturned.
The principal loss sustained was in
the horses and vehicles in the barn and
as they were owned by a large number
of people it has been impossible to as
certain the amount Of insurance caE'

We expect to put u new rifle range

funds for this purpose and if we take

SOCIALISM NOT THE MODE
Socialistic Program May Sometime BE
Realized, but the Educator Be-
lieves IL Is a Long
Ways Off.

Vermillion, s. D., May I7.-Dr. Gar
rett Droppers, president of the state M
iversity, in a letter TO the New York
World, in reply to a query sent him by
thai paper, expresses his views on gov
eminent ownership, announcing his De-
lief in the ownership M operation of
public utilities by the government. ii
presidents letter is as tolloWs:
ITO the Editor OF the World: My
w opinion is that the government
should own and if necessary operate Ill
public utilities. And in further explain
alton of his point / believe that the
government has the right TO take pos
session of whatever economic utilities
it creates in society, as individuals have
the right to take possession OF the utll-
tiles they create in society. The great
source of civic corruption today arises
from q mixing up of private and public
functions, n when the is
properly made between these two L
think our civic corruption and many
of our present labor disturbances VIII
in a large degree ease. Nor do L be-
lieve that the carrying out of the pro-
gram of separating public from private
interests is ext-emely difficult. 1t re"
quires only a moderate amount of in
te~lligence, honesty and public spirit.
This is not an answer to the specihc
question asked by the World. 1t, how
ever, leads to an answer.
Socialism arises in a measur from
an intense DISSATISFACTION with the pres
ent economic order. John Stuart Mill
says somewhere that the advantage of
the EXTREMIST is that his position
makes every other program look modcr-
ate, and therefore the socialists are per-
haps doing a real service in behalf of
a real reform program. Anything less
than socialism we will welcome as a
solution. 1t may be possible that the
socialistic program will some day pe
realized. 1t appears to me. however,
very far off, and in the meantime it
seems much better to work for some
thing that is more attainable within a
generation. When we have reached mu-
nicipal ownership, for instance, we shall
see our way more clearly possibly 10
further changes. I do not believe that
our political and economic speculation
should so far outrun our practice as TO
leave no points of contact between the
two.
Il prefer a program which is ahead
of existing conditions n which points
out the way to a better one. When VIC
have reached the next stop we shall oe
in a position to advance again, but with
much clearer vision for having solved
one problem we'll.

DAKOTA WEATHER..
Conditions During Last Week Favor
able for Outdoor Work.

Huron, S. D., May 18.-The official
weather and crop bulletin says:
"The weather during the week was
generally fair. There were some scat
tered light showers on the 7th, and on
Sunday or Sunday night light TO mod
crate showers occurred in the eastern
portion of the state. While there was
some cloudy weather, the amount of
sunshine was ample; in limited scat
tered localities more rain would have
been welcome and beneficial, but the
soil is, on the whole, amply moist, and
the conditions were such as to favor
the drying out of the wet low places at
the close of the preceding week.
1.-The temperature averaged well
above the normal. The week opened
cool, with minimum temperatures low
enough on the 18th and Sth n in the
northern districts on the 9th, to u
light to heavy ~frosts; but no special
injury resulting from the frosts is in
dictated. though in some places ii was
sufficiently cold to form thin ice OH
water in pals and tubs. After Wednes-
day the temperature was much more
seasonable, and on Friday, the warm
est day, the maximum ranged from SO
TO "a degrees.
Taken as a whole, the conditions
during the week were very favorable
for outdoor work, and highly favorable
growing weather prevailed.
