In view of the practice on the sub
ject as above mentioned it cannot be
said that there is an implied limita-
ton upon general power to create
city municipalities. Again, a special
law upon the subject is more appro-
prite to older communities, such as
that of Hawaii, while a general law

THE MUNICIPAL
ACT IS SUSTAINED
Continued from Page One)

April both A. d. 1907 and is the said
act entitled "An Act Creating Counties
within the Territory of Hawaii and
providing a Government for the same"
void and of no effect and not binding
upon the said respondents in any man
ner or form?
Chief Justice Hartwell wrote the OPP
inion of the court. On the question of
the plaintiffs capacity to bring the
suit he says:
1.-THE demurrer does not specifically
set up, the defendants say it was not
intended to set up, the plaintiffs in
capacity to bring the suit. If the OBJ
lection had been raised he might have
amended by averring an impending
unauthorized expenditure of pubic
money, thus bringing his case within
the rule in Castle v. Secretary of the
Territory, 16 Haw. 769, TIA. We are
not inclined to hold that a private ci-
tizen who does not claim that his pro-
perty rights are in danger of being
injuriously affected can obtain an adj
judication that statute is unconsti-
tutional, since as far as political ques-
tons are concerned he does not rep
resent the public as in case of unau-
thorized expenditures. Our cases have
not gone to that extent, and we are not
disposed to extend their authority"
AS to whether the Territory ought
to be made a party the decision says
in part:
"The county attorney, who appeared
for the supervisors, is "a deputy of the
attorney general of the Territory
(Sec. So County Act), as well as legal
adviser of the board of supervisors
(Sec. SO, Ib.) There is no reason why
the attorney general should not have
been heard without the formality OF
making the Territory party"

Much Time and Thought on
Its Arrangements
EDUCATING, UPLIFTING
AND INTERESTING
New Club Chorus VIII Take
Prominent Part in Programs
Rules to be Enforced

LeSS LQhN u IIlOnCu MS passed SluC0
the Thursday Musical club held it's
meeting for organization for the COM
ing year and already the years pros
pectus is made up and the chorus,
which is new feature, organized
and at work. This spirit Of enthus-
iasm and progressiveness is complete
assurance that the club will work in
harmony and accomplish much more
than is the aspiration Of the fondest
hopes of its members. The new fea-
ture, the club chorus, gives promise
OF great success and will add mater
tally to the excellent programs which
have ben arranged for the year. The
new president, Mrs. Florence Marion
Kent, is valuable acquisition to the
Office and the club. She has entered
into her work with a determination
to make It's every venture a success
and her wide influence has impaired
this determination to every member
whether active or associate.
In a few days the president will
send out the prospectus for the sea-
son OF 0S09 and with 1t will be a few
words from this capable leader which
will enthuse each member to greater
efforts in the advancement of the
noble art of music in this city. The
rules OF the club will be strictly en-
forced this year and this also will add
to its success. The program commit
tee has given much time and thought
10 the arrangement of this years
work and there is every prospect that
each program will be interesting, ed
ucating and uplifting. All programs
will be given in the auditorium OF the
public library and will begin prompt
ly at 3 o'clock on the dates named.

Twin SUIT CASES
Was THE PLEA
IN COURT
Man Arrested on Several
Charges Has a Defense
Ready in Every Case

William Clendenning, the man bur
dened with chai ges, was br"l:.n. for
trial before Judge Sullivan in NUM-
cipal court this morning. Clenden-
ming first was arrested on the charge
Of stealing a suitcase after which he
assaulted it's true owner and then
when searched concealed weapon
was found on his person.
The trial for stealing the suitcase
was held this morning and Clenden-
ming was found guilty and fined SO
and costs in default of which he Is
to serve twenty days in the county
Jail. The action for assault was not
taken up. this charge being dropped.
Clendenning claimed that he owned
a suitcase similar and thought that
the one he took belonged to him.
The evidence In the case brought
against Clendenning for carrying con-
cealed weapons. piece of iron at
tached to q leather strap, which was
found on the man when searched at
the police station, resulted in the
claim made by Clendenning that he
did not know the weapon was in his
pocket. This morning the case was
adjourned at noon and at the time of
going to press the matter had not
been decided. although 1t Is probable
that Clendenning will be bound over.
Several witnesses appeared in court
from Larimore employed on the Elk
valley farm where Clendenning was
employed before coming to East
Grand Forks, testified as to the char
acter Of the man which showed that
aside from the fact that he would
drink occasionally he was all right
and never had any trouble at Lari-
more. Evidently drink is what caused
Clendenning's downfall as the man
was quite intoxicated when arrested
for the larceny of the suitcase be-
longing to James Snyder.
Robert Plant, arrested on the charge
OF the larceny OF $40 claimed to have
been stolen from James Jarvis, was
brought before Judge Sullivan late
this afternoon and the case has not
vet been decided.

YOUNG MEN LAUNCH
REPUBLICAN
CLUB
Important Step Taken by the
Younger Members of Party
Friday Night
WANT OTHER CITIES
TO ADOPT THE PLAN
And Work Along This Line
Will be Done Throughout
Grand Forks County
WANT OTHER CITIES
TO ADOPT THE PLAN

At a meeting held Friday evening
was launched which bids fair to be-
come an important factor In Grand
Forks county politics in the near fll-
ture. 1t is the Young Mems Repub-
lican club having as its object the
furtherance of the welfare of the Re-
publican party, young men between
the ages of IS and IS years being

elected the following officers for the
coming year:

Treasurer-Dr. c. l.. Tompkins.
The need Of such an organization
has been long felt one in Grand
Forks and the meeting last evening
was the outcome The plan had been
quite thoroughly discussed among a
number OF the younger men OF the
city and the meeting was called. at
tended by about thirty-fve. 1t was
the general opinion OF all present that
club such as was proposed could do
large amount OF good. not only for
the party. but for the individual men,
beers as we'll, In that various political
issues could be thoroughly discussed,
giving each one moro thorough
knowledge of them.
With this idea as to the purpose Of
the club, the adoptions OF the con-
stitution and bylaws was taken up
and quickly disposed OF. The con-
stitution provides that all young men,
between the ages OF 1S and So years,
identified with or who intend to
identify themselves with, the Repub-
lican party and who stand for clean
politics, both state and national, shall
be eligible to membership. Meetings

Tuesday OF each month and after the
transaction Of regular business. the
discussion of political issues shall be
taken up.
1t is the object OF the local club to
secure the organizations OF similar
clubs throughout Grand Forks county
in the near future. 1t is believed that
with such clubs working throughout
the district, that the Clubs may soon
become recognized power in tho
party. The work OF securing the Or
ganization of other clubs will be
taken up at once.

THAT BRISTOL LETTER

A number of republicans of the
state have desired a copy of the now
famous Bristol letter" which senator
Kittfedge reads in all of his speeches
to show that Bristol offered to sell out
his clients 'for lump sum" and was
willing to recommend TO his clients
the purchase of land at a high price
II he got something out of it. 1t was
this letter which defeated the con-
firmation of Bristol because he was a
CRATER. 1t later developed that the
company decided to submit to
"hold-up" of $500 so that Bristol
would not queer the deal Senator
Kittredge says that so long as he is
a member of the judiciary committee
no man with a record like BristoPs
can be confirmed to any federal office.
The senator has been particularly
villified for the defeat of Bristol.
Eighteen articles as a serial editorial
story have been printed on the sub
tect in one Crawford paper alone and
others have done about as well. Read
the Bristol letter, read between the
lines, and then make up your mind
whether Senator Kittredge was right
or wrong. The letter follows
~

Dear Sir:--I hand you herewith or
fginal copy of contract for deed on

contract is sufficient in form. legal

concerned although these gentlemen

that your company set upon this

that great many things that ! could
say or do would have considerable
bearing upon the ultimate result, 1
suggest that you talk over with your
people the proposition that a sale at
the price you have set in the contract

RAPING THE PRIMARY
How the Insurgents Have DlSOwned
Their Own High Priced
Child

Two years ago the only thing talked
by the reform leaders in this state
was the primary. They condemned
vogue for years, and insisted that the
political millennium would never come
until a direct statewide primary Law
was enacted.
The people harkened unto these
leaders. and believed what they said.
Hence a state wide primary law was
enacted, and the people supposed it
was to be complied with.
Mcpherson county was the first to
violate the terms and letter and spirit
of the law. There twelve insur-
gents out of total committee of for
ty-six named the entire delegation to
the state convention. In Stanley coun-
ty less than half the members of the
committee named the delegation. The
same was true in Sully county. 1t was
attempted by the reformers in Grant,
but the attempt was defeated, as it
was also in Faulk. In Aurora county,
the central committee, which is con-
trolled by the insurgents, refused to
call the committee together until after
it was too late to legally call a conven-
ton. The insurgents in Minnehaha
county, which is controlled by the
stalwarts, tried to induce the stalwarts
to violate the law, but the stalwarts
refused and called a convention in
the regular way. Later, after all the
committees had by unanimous vote de-
cided that the primary was too expen-
sive, and that the stalwarts had the
county anyway, 1T was decided to
abate the primary. In Minnehaha
county, the central committee stood
81 stalwart to IL iusurgent, which is
about the proportion of the vote in
the county.
1t may seem odd to some people
that the primary should be violated
by the very men who urged its adop-
ton, but the people of the state are
rather getting used to odd things.

KITTREDGE BUTTONS.

The Sioux Falls kittredge club
which now has 1000 members, con-
fined exclusively to Sioux Falls. order
ed 5000 Kittredge buttons. They ar
rived about two weeks ago, and went
like hot cakes. An order for 10000
more was then placed and these are
NOW nearly gone though they reached
Sioux Falls only a few days ago. An
order fer another 10000 has been
placed. In addition to this the trav-
cling men with whom Senator Kilt
redge is very popular, have ordered
and received some very fine Kittredge
buttons, which are to be seen on the
coats of the knights of the grip every
where. Every day makes IL more cer-
tain that Senator Kittredse is a sur,
winner in the fight 1t is true, how
ever. that every vote counts in the
fight in June, and the stalwarts pro-
pose to work for each additional vote
as hard as if they thought it would
be the deciding vote. 1t is the desire
to make a clean sweep of the state
in June.

KlTTREDGE WILL HELP
The United States May Purchase the
AmundSeD Vessel Which Made
the Northwest Passage

Since hearing the lecture of the
noted explorer. Captain Amundsen.
there has been aroused good deal
of interest in his staunch little craft.
the Gjoa, with which he made the run
of the northwest passage. The Gjoa
is the first and only vessel to pass
around the north coast of North
America, thus finding the Northwest
passage, for which search has been
made for the last four hundred years.
She now lies in Mare Island Navy
yard, and il the plan set on foot in
this city materializes, she will never
leave the custody OF the United States
government.
Many Americans believe that the
boat which made such gallant trip
through hitherto unexplored Ameri-
can waters. should forever remain in
this country and should be preserved
among the valuable historical collec-
tions of this government. The plan
is to have congress appropriate sum
for the purchase of the vessel from
Captain Amundsen and when the Pan
anna canal is completed bring it
around to Washington to be preserved
and placed on exhibition as an inspir-
ing sight and an example of the in
trepid hardihood, that made the voy-
age of the little craft and her brave
commander and crew possible.
On his return to Washington 1T is
expected that Senator Kittredge will
introduce a bill in the senate for this
purpose and it is hoped that the plan
will be successful. Besides the inter-
est which all Americans must feel in
the Gjoa, the large number OF Nor
wegians who have been adopted into
the United States would be particular
ly gratified to have the vessel remain
here permanently.
