MY Dear Friend and Brother:
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-12-30

The recent decision of the suprem
court in the sO-called "spotter re-
ward" case lays down highly import
ant principles of constitutional law
governing the making of appropria'
tions, and If a great number of the
appropriations now ON the statute
books were tested by the law as 1t is
declared by the supreme court, they
would also fall.
The general principle of the law
as it Us declared 10y the supreme
court is that appropriations must be
made in specific amounts and not in
general terms and unlimited amounts.
The text of the decision will be inter
esting to both the lawyers and the
laity in the state as governing the
matter of appropriations, and is as
follows:
This is an appeal from the order
and Judgment of the district court of
Grand Forks county directing the au-
ditor Of the state of North Dakota
to forthwith attest, issue and deliver
a warrant in the sum Of 500 to the
treasurer of the state to be by such
treasurer credited to the county OF
Grand Forks in his settlement with
the treasurer of that county, as pro-
vidI d by chapter 139 of the laws OF
1903. An alternative writ OF manda'
mus was first issued by that court
and 10 it the appellant demurred
The Judgment awarding the preemp'
tory writ of mandamus resulted from
an order of the district coure over
ruling such demurrer. The first OBJ
lection is that inasmuch as the state
auditors o. .cial residence is in Bis
marck, in the Sixth judicial district,
the district court of the First judicial
district had no Jurisdiction to IMAM
damus that official. The record fails
to disclose any objection in district
court, and no demand was made that
the proceedings be transferred to the
district court of Burleigh county in
the Sixth district, and the subject,
while point out, is not discussed in the
brief of the appellant. It is dbjeicted
in the second place that Mcdonald,
the county treasurer OF Grand Forks
county, on whose relation the pro-
ceedings was instituted, Is not shown
to have such an interest in the pro-
CSSUluSS DIS w StuUuCllLc AlAA W UAAAA5
the same either in person of in the
name of the state. The treasurer be-
ing liable to the county on his bond
for the proper accounting for tine
funds belonging to the county, and
having paid the money from the treas
Jury, is benefcially interested and may
properly act as relator. No authori-
ties are nited by appellant on this
point. Ut is next commended that the
r lator had more adequate and
speedy remedy by means Of withhold
ing the money 50 paid out in his set.
Element with the state treasurer. II
Is self evident that If he had no right
to withhold it, the ability or oppor'
tunity to do so does not furnish a
remedy which can he considered in a
legal proceeding. The remedy, in the
eyes of tie law, (which defeats the
right to nrandamus, is a legal remedy
rather than a physical one.
= "The main contention, as we are
advised, in the district court and the
one on which its Judgment was rem
dered, was to the effect that chapter
1879, Laws of 1903, had been repealed

Miss Freese, Chairman.

The Woman's Club, of Ashland,
has a music department which is
presided over by Miss Kate Freese,
of Louisa. The meeting of this de-
parement on last Saturday evening
is thus noticed by the Independent:
Under the test of Saturday even
ing's recital, the Department of
Music of the Woman's Club, though
she's but lassie yet bore her
self with credit as a debutante OF
marked promise.
ABLY supported by Mr.. Weldon
and Mr.. Carlyle, a fine program was
rendered in which the high charac-
ter of the compositions made no
small demand upon the musical abil-
tiles and training of the perform
ers, who amply showed their fine
control over voice and instrument,
and their individual capacities for
yet finer and fuller development
The captivating contribution of Mrs
Shipman calls for a mention all its
own.
Into the field of closer musical
study which opens before this de-
partment in 1910 it would be rare
privilege to follow. Such culture
must mean an enrichment of the
higher faculties in the opportunities
it offers of an acquaintance with
the great composers of today and
the features which characterize the
special creations of each.
Then might one recognize the
mastery over tone-problems in the
work of the great artists of express

as mere subjective listeners, we
acknowledge but do not compre-
bend.
"The makeup of the program
committee, who, with Miss Freese
as chairman, will arrange the com

that its character will be sound and
progressive, a sure basis for still
further advances in the future work
of the department.

first club meeting ON the third Sat

Brinkman Family Theatre.

Last night at the Brinkman
Theatre the Princess Tarpeia'
again proved herself to be well
worthy of the title The worlds
premier escape artist" and although
most everything has been tried that
would be likely to hold the Princess,
nothing has as yet been found from
which she has not managed to
escape.
Tonight The Princess" will
present to the public of Bemidji,
what is known as a Chair >Shackle
Escape" in which she will endeavor
to escape from chair to which she
will be securely fastened by means
of handouts and shack1es, which
even the most sceptical must admit
will be very difficult feat to per.
form.
Tonight, also, Sheriff Hazen will
place pair Of his own handouts
upon The Princess" from which
she will endeavor to escape.
The opportunities to see this
exceptional performance are becom.
ing few, and those who miss these
chances during tonight and tomor-
row night will certainly miss the
opportunity of life time.
St. Julian still continues to prove
big attraction, and his head bal
ancing and athletics are worthy Of
the highest possible praise.
