NEWSY STATE NOTES.

Redfeld dispatch says; Judge
Whiting of the ninth judicial circuit
has handed down an important deci'
sion relative to the right of brewing
companies located outside the state 70
solicit orders for selling beer in this
state without first having procured a
wholesale license The Conrad Seipp
company last fall sold carload OF beer
10 local saloon keepers, and or suit
being brought for the purchase price
the defense was made that the contract
was illegal, having been made without
a Wholesale licens having been taken
ont by the company. Judge Whiting
directed a verdict against the plaintiff
on that ground, following the case of
the state against DeImater. which has
recently been affirmed by the United
States supreme court.
Ont of number of applications for
paTdons, the state board selected the
case of the two Vermillion young men
who were guilty by their own coufes-
sion of burning two buildings. Their
crime was serious, but the beard evil
IDENTIFY took into consideration the
undisputed reform OF the young men, a
reform which occurred before their
arrest and which was so genuine as to
lead them To accuse themselves of the
crime the consequences of which they
would have otherwise escaped. In their
action the board worked in the line
with the idea that the object OF the
punishment OF crime is reformrtory, the
same as parental punishment, and this
according TO much OF the advanced
rhoaghs Of the day, is the true one.
