Consensus of Opinion of Local
Barristers is That the Law
is Unconstitutional.
SOME REASONS GIVEN
George A. Bangs Says it is an
Attempt to Exercise the
Powers of Congress.
SOME REASONS GIVEN

There seems to be a diversity of
opinion in legal circles as we'll as
among others who are vitality inter-
ested. as to the legality or validity of
S. B. No. Is. which was passed by the
recent session of the legislature, APP
proved by the governor and due to
become effective on July I.
The law, commonly known as the
new liquor law, prohibits the solicit
ing OF orders for intoxicating liquors
within the state.
A representative of the Evening
Times made the rounds of number
of attorneys offices in this city yes
terday for the purpose of learning the
prevailing opinion was that the law
was unconstitutional, though not all
were willing to state their opinion,
giving as a reason that they had not
looked the matter up with sufficient
one way or the other.
However, the Evening Times repre-
sentative secured statements from
some of the leading members Of the
bar. Dean Bruce. of the University
of North Dakota law school. was To-
Gated in his Office in the Clifford block
deeply buried in pile of law books.
After due reflection, Dean Bruce said:
= g * IL 4 Il X 4
II have not yet seen the recent
decision of the supreme court of T.
the United States, in which it
passed upon the validity of the
South Dakota statute which
sought to prevent the sale of
liquor in that state. In fact do
not think the decision has yet
been printed and l would rather
not express an opinion until 1t is.
Unless the court took in that case
a radically different attitude from
that which it has taken in former
cases, l would say that in my
opinion the North Dakota law
would be held unconstitutional"

George A. Bangs, one of the best
authorities on legal matters in the
northwest, was another to give an
adverse opinion on the legality of the
statute.

THE TROUBLE IN ROUMANIA.

The trouble in the northern part
of Roumania is a good deal like the
trouble in the rural parts of Russia.
The peasants in both Russia and Rou.
mania know that they are utterly I'M
comfortable but they do not know how
to diminish their discomfort In fact,
there is no short method of relief for
them. But they do not know even as
much as this So, like child frantic
with terror, or a dog tormented by
pain, those in Russia go out and tear
a landlords house in pieces, and kill
his live stock, and those in Roumania
go out and plumber Jewish home or
store; and in both cases they are just
as miserable afterward as they were
before.
They are the victims of a defective
and unjust civilization, just as the
peasants of France We're at the time
of the French Revolution-of civiliza-
ton, so-called, that regards the ordi-
nary workingman as beast of bur-
den, created and permitted to live
merely to carry the rest of society up
on his back Cardinal Richelieu's pre-
cept, that the peasant is "a mule,
which, accustomed to his load, is
spoiled more by long repose than by
work." is still the working rule in
Roumania and in Russia: and under
this rule habitual starvation of the
half sort or the fatal sort is provided
today as the peasants regular diet
in Eastern Europe, just as it was in
France during the century of misery
that led up to 1882 Tame estimates
that in 1715 more than one-third of
the population of France-namely. six
millions of human beings-perished
with hunger and restitution; and
these six millions were all taken from
the peasant or working class. All
the fine people had enough to eat and
to spare for costly entertainments.
1t is SO today in Eastern Europe. The
bishops and the granddukes and the
bureaucrats have enough to eat, while
the DeaSanfa Sfarve
1t is therefore not strange that
these submerged human beings. at
various times and in various locali-
ties, should go mad with their CEN
tury-old miseries. This is what is
going on in Moldavia just now, and
1T is what has been going on off and
on all this last winter in Russia.
These outbreaks have very little NAL
ice in them, although the effects are
the same as if they were malicious.
A writer in the March number of the
National Review" describes his re-
cent studies among Russian peasant
life where these outbreaks have oc-
CURED. He says that those whose es-
tates have been devastated by peasant
mobs tell him that frequently the
peasant leaders have appeared day
or two later, with sincere assurances
that they were sorry for what had
happened, but that it had to be done.
In all probability the Roumanian
peasants have much the same feeling
toward the Jews. To them the Jews
are people who have enough to eat,
and SO they rob them, just as the
Russian peasant pulls down the
