NEW SCHOOL AT WEssINGTON

new public school has just been
completed In this town. It Is one
Of the most modern structures Of it's
kind in this state, and was erected at
q cost Of $4,000. The building is
constructed 81 brick and contains A

One Of the notable events in the
educational history Of this part Of the
state was the dedication Of this strlc-
ture. Or. Samuel F. Kerfoot, presi-
dent Of the Dakota Wesleyan univer-
sity Of Mitchell, was the principal
speaker at the exercises. An elaborate
program was prepared for the occa-
sion and at the conclusion Of this the
new building was thrown open for
public inspection. s]5

of opinion that ii it does seek to pre-
vent such discussion, in such an event,
| it offends against the constitution,
then SO much of it as attempts to do
SO is void. 81 s
1t has been urged that even If the
court in violation of the constitution
does make an order prohibiting a
man from making speech on a GER
tain subject, or prohibiting news
paper from publishing an editorial on
the same subject, the party enjoined
must nevertheless obey the decree;
| If he does not, the court may punish
him, although 1t has no power to
make the order. But certainly that
which the constitution prohibits, the
court may not do any more than the
legislature. The unconstitutional
statute need not be obeyed; and SO
the courts have held time and again.
It would seem to follow that de-
cree Of a court offending against the
constitution need not be obeyed be-
cause It is wholly and completely
void. II seems to me that the judicial
department Of the government will
not be guilty Of the absurdity Of hold
ting that an unconstitutional enact
ment by the lawmaking department q
| the government may be defied by5tthe
hunblest citizen with impunity be
cause absolutely void 4 but that on
the other hand, a decree Of the jl-
dicial department equally offending
against the constitution has such
force and vitality as to support the
imprisonment Of him who, standing
on his constitutional rights, dares Is
violate It."

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 14.James
Corrigan, 79 years old, who had a
bitter financial struggle with John d.
Rockefeller about fifteen years ago,
and who since has wrested millions
from ore, coal, vessel and furnace In
dustries, died here today from the
effects Of an operation for appendi-
citis, recently performed.
Mr.. Corrigan was the leading mem
Der Of the firm Of Corrigan, McKin-
ney & Co.. dealers in iron ore and
pig iron, and was the president Of
three Pennsylvania Furnace COM
panies. He became identified with
the petroleum Industries in the six
ties, building a refining plant. He
sold out in 1888 to the Standard Oil
company. receiving three thousand
shares Of Standard certificates. Then
he embarked in the iron business
with Frank Rockefeller, buying a
mine on Lake Superior. Corrigan In
vested $30O,000 In a feet Of steam
ers and other enterprises. When the
hard times Of the early nineties,
lCorrigan went to John d. Rockefel-
l1er for financial assistance, obtaining
loans, It is said, aggregating $170,-
900, giving his oil certificates as se-
Icurity, besides mortgaging his ves-
sells. Additional loans were made by
John D. Rockefeller to Corrigan and
to Frank Rockefeller. In the panic
OF 1893 he found it difficult to meet
his interest obligations, and in 1895
John D. Rockefeller bought Corrt-
gan's Standard Oil stock at $15S 9
share. Within month 1t was sell
ling for $185. Corrigan sued John d
Rockefeller, claiming the oil mag.
4 mate knew the stock must 90 up and
THAT, as trustee. should have put hin
lin possession OF these facts. The case
which received national attention
went to the highest courts and Cor
1rigan lost. 1T was these suits, 1t il
claimed, that caused an estrang cement
between the brothers Frank and Johr
d. Rockefeller.
Mr.. Corrigan leaves one son. Hi
