The Herald of Grand Forks COM
nents upon the recent decision of
the Minnesota supreme court, pass
ing upon the obligations of local Of
1Icials to enforce state laws. While
The Herald does not take issue with
the decision of the North Dakota
supreme court, its position seems to
he that that decision stands for a
laxer enforcement of state laws,
because the state is held to have no
authority to empower an appointive
Official with authority to step in and
take the place Of an elective officer.
We cannot see where the two de-
cisions are out Of harmony. The
North Dakota supreme court say that
the duty Of enforcing all law lies
with the local elective officials. Sure
IL there IL power In the state to call
an Official to account for failure to
do his duty under state laws. This
being the case. there is wholesome
power with the state to compel local
Dnicers to administer all laws, and to
punish them for dereliction.

SLOWER TRAINS ON WESTERN ROADS.

putting on Of slower trains is in re-.
taliation for the action Of the western
legislatures in the cutting of rates.
The officials declare that the sched-
ules that have been In effect for the
past year or more have been found
too fast for economical operation.
Last winter, on account OF unusual
weather conditions, few Of the west
ern roads were able to operate their
trains according to schedule. In in
creasing the running time the man
ayers are acting in the belief that
it will be more satisfactory to have
schedules which can be maintained,
even If ordinary delays to trains are
encountered, than to disappoint pas
sengers by delivering them at their
destination later than the schedule
time in case Of any delay en- route.

1t Is Understood, However,

HellaballOo Has Been Kicked
Up In Japan to Make
Election Medicine

Washington, June Continuing
his policy of adding nothing in the
way of comment or facts to the dis
cussion Of the Japanese-American in
cidents, viscount Aokb the Japanese
Ambassador, today, as usual, denied
himself to newspaper men, and pro-
claimed against any statement re-
lative to reported development of
strength in the opposition party in
Japan.
Ambassador Aoki is understood to
take the view that there are no mat
tiers Of difference between the Unit
d States and Japan that are not ca
pable of adjustment If allowed to be
considered on their merits. 1t is
said to be this view that leads him
to deprecate the publication in this
country of the propaganda that is be-
ing used in Japan to influence votes
in the election for members of the
lower house of the Japanese legis-
lative body.
At the state department it was
| said that there were no new devel-
opments in the situation, and, in fact,
some surprise was expressed that any
| should be expected in the near fu-
ture. The report of District, Attor-
| ney Devlin, of San Francisco, upon
the mobbing of Japanese restaur-
ants and lighthouses is expected to
reach this city within a day or two.
But his conclusions have already
been anticipated by Geographic ad-
vices and brief preliminary mail ad-
vices, SO that all the state depart
ment looks for when the report is
at hand is a mass of detailed tes-
| timony taken by Mr.. Devlin as. to
the facts connected with the incident.
| It is not expected that the depar-
| ment's policy in this matter will be
changed in any respect as result
of the receipt of the complete report
1t is pointed out also, to correct what
the officials regard as an erroneous
impression, that the Japanese have
made much more of this San Fran.
| cisco incident than was warranted by
the facts. that actually the conduct
of the Japanese government in the
mater has been extremely modest. I

THAT GRAND JURY REPORT.

The remarkable report made by
the recent grand jury to the district
court at Bismarck in relation to
violations of the prohibition law in
the capital city is arousing much
comment around the state, not at
all complimentary to either judge, jury
or city.
The extraordinary admission in the
report to the effect that while there
was abundant evidence before the
jury of violations of the prohibition
law in the past, in view of the fact
that the violators, personally as
sured the jury that there would be
no more of it on their part, it was
thought best not to bring in indict-
ments. In other words, no matter
about the present crimes if the
violators promise to be good in the
future, & & sss.5

port should receive the thanks Of
the court or the sanction of the peo-
pie. s..5s I
