Pigs not LICENSED
CHARGE THAT MANDAN is COL.
LEcTING REVENUE IN THIS
WAY Is DENIED.

During the discussion in this city
OF the commission plan of city gov
ernment it has been charged in some
quarters as an argument against the
proposition, that pigs could be 4 Ii
censed under the system "as is done
in Mandan.
This matter of licensing the pigs
across the river has been investigat-
ed and found to be untrue. 1t is true
that many of the pigs and gamblers
over there have been fined in police
court for maintaining nuisance un-
der the ordinance, the maximum fine
being $50. In fact, quite number
OF arrests under this ordinance have
been made and in most cases the
maximum fine has been levied and
collected, but this procedure gives.
no protection and it is not indulged
in at regular periods, but as the po-
lice get hold of the parties violating
the ordinance, some of the offenders.
f D.
1t is understood, being fined as often
as twice in one week. The readiness
with which the fines have been paid
is believed to be based upon the
theory that the piggers would rather
pay it than have the evidence dis
closed upon which they were arrest
ed, as in that case it would leave a
fair field for the states attorney to
get busy under the state prohibition
law.
The Mandan ordinance is identical
with the Bismarck ordinance on the
same subject, but this city has never
proceeded under this ordinance, Ieav-
ing the prosecution of these cases to
the state. The ordinance makes sell
Ing liquor OF any kind, gambling, etc,
common nuisance and under this
provision IT is not necessary to prove
any one particular offense at one
specified time, hut if an offense at
any time can be proved 1t is suffl-
cient
This ordinance is very much alive
on the records Of this city and can
be put into operation at any time.

ENTERTAINED AT EucHRE.

One of the very ENJOYABLE social
occasions of the season was euchre
party given yesterday afternoon by
Mesdames T. D. Hughes, Ryan and
Dye. There were about sixty guests
who say the occasion was delightful.
After the cards had been put away
dainty refreshments were served add
ing laurels to the fair hostesses. The
color scheme was red and green, in
harmony with the holiday season and
the grace and beauty there assem-

Senator L. A. Simpson of Dickinson,

Political Comment

the Miner editor is well acquainted,
and from our acquaintance with him
we believe that he embodies first class
Legislative timber, and If he is elect
ed will fill the position with credit to
himself and his constituents. He is a
man of wide business experience, the
personal representative on the Slope
of Gen. w. D. Washburn's large :n-
terests, and he would take to the sen
ate if elected good judgment and &C
quaintance with Missouri Slope needs
and we feel that the electors will
make no mistake if they send him
as their choice to the Legislative halls
at Bismarck next winter.
Does MOI Apply To the Fifth District
Valley City Times-Record: At a
meeting Of the states attorneys OF
North Dakota, held at Jamestown, re.
solutions were passed deploring the
fact that SO many criminal cases were
reversed by the supreme court on
technicalities, II being stated that in
the entire United States forty-six per
cent of the criminal cases appealed
were reversed by the higher courts
and new trials ordered. G
We are glad to say this condition
does not obtain in the Fifth judicial
district. Judge Burke OF this district
has presided at over two hundred
criminal trials during his four year
term, this number Including ten muir
der trials and nearly one hundred 9th
er felonies; he has tried and .sentenc
ed nearly hundred men to the state
penitentiary, and over a hundred tc
the county jails.
During this time not single Grim
inal cased tried before him has been
reversed by the supreme court; moi
a single county has had to bear the
expense of new trial in criminal
case
The election Of judges OF Judge
Burke's type would do much to rem
edy the condition of which the states
attorneys complain.
