WILL TEST THE LAW.
500 Road Appeals From Decision Of
Justice Court.

Justice Court.
Another phase of the state prohibi-
tion law will shortly undergo a test
as to constitutionality. This time the
500 railroad will play an important
role. In Justice Gilbert's court at
Bismarck fifteen barrels OF beer re-
Gently seized at the 500 freight depot
by Chief of Police Frank Carr and con-
signed to local parties, were ordered
destroyed, none of the consignees ap
pearing to oppose such action. This
was done by virtue OF a new law au-
thprizing the seizure Of intoxicants
whenever found in unusual quantities.
The 500 attorney took an appeal to
the higher court and the end is not
yet. The Soon contends that the off,
GERS exceeded their authority when
they seized the stuff sent c. o. d. over
the road, and that the beer was only
being held at the local freigt house
pending such payment.

NO MISTAKE IN THE BILL
Referendum Measure Author eays He
Purposely Fixed Maximum.

Referendum Measure Author says He
Purposely Fixed Maximum.
The alleged discovery of Attorney
Nestos Of Minot that not more than
eight per cent Of tho voters are re-
quired on an initiative petition, is de-
clared by l.. A. Iceland, the author of
the bill passed by the last session of
the legislature, to be no discovasy at
all.
MI. Iceland says that that section
Of the bill was Intentionally included
in the measure. If it had read not
less than eight per cent, then the leg
islature which enacted laws to put 1t
into effect might, If 1t were SO dis
posed, require that 80 per cent of the
voters be required to sign the neces-
sary petition. AS 1t Is, since the bill
reads not more" than eight per cent,
the legislature doubtless will fix the
percentage at that figure.
Mr.. Iceland states that his bill is a
copy Of the Oregon constitutional
amendment which has been in effect
since 1902 and whose validity has been
upheld by the courts.

Governor John Burke has written a
red hot letter to Attorney General Nc

in spite of the fact that the courts
have knocked out the law providing
for a special temperance commission

Retain a boyish heart.

In placid, grandpa style
And skip the only part Of life
Tha really Is worth while.

AND really that is true,
And II you have the ~faintest doubts
Just try to raise a few. I.

That they are ten times worse.

And smash things in their play,

They'll do 1t anyway.
And do not fear the worst because
The neighbors think they're tough.
Just let them have their boyhood, for.
