The iOkum Case

war is over.
The YOkum Case
The decision Of the supreme
court. through Judge Corson hand
ed down on Wednesday Of this
week. in the case of Jones VS.. Yo-
kun, is another step in the asser-
tion of the absolute police power
Of the state oyer the sale Of intox-
icants regardless Of interstate CON-
merce principles. 1t is n further
application of the principles laid
down several years ago in this
court in the Dclameter case from
Potter county and confirmed by
the supreme court of the United
States.
In this case Robert l.. Iokum
purchased 500 worth of liquors
from Louisville wholesale liquor
house, through it's travelling repre-
sentative, the negotiation taking
place in Pierre. the liquor to he
furnished +. o. b. Louisville, Ken
lucky. lokum gave his notes for
the purchase and after their ma
turity refused to pay them and suit
being brought. defended on the
ground that the Louisville house
had not complied with the laws of
South Dakota in taking out whole
sale liquor license, that the sale
was illegal and that in consequence
he had received no legal consider
alton for the notes. In the circuit
court his defense was overruled
and judgement was rendered
against him for the amount of the
notes. He appealed to the supreme
court, which has ever~ed the low
er court and holds the notes to
have been given without legal con-
sideration, and that the Louisville
house not having complied with
our license law has no standing in
our courts.
The effect Of the decision will be
to make it obligatory that every
wholesale liquor house doing bus
mess in South Dakota, take out .
wholesale license in this state.
The statutory requirements for
wholesale license are a little invol-
we'd, it appears that general lic-
cense to sell intoxicants at whole
sale in the state may be secured
for the sum of four hundred dol
lars. The feature of the decision
which most seriously affect the liq-
uor trade is that it destroys the leg
al standing of the great volume of
accounts outstanding for liquors
sold within the state by wholesale
houses. These accounts must a.

dollars. perhaps amillion or more.

Washington, July 12.-In a con-
erence with President Taft today
at the White House, trainers of the

cent. The bill will be redrafted' so
as to give due consideration to mu-

the feelings of the members of ibith
houses, as regards the tariff bill. He

Cardinal satolli serionslv m.

Rome, July 9.-The serious ill,
lei of Cardinal Satolli is a matter
of grave concern at present in Vati-
can %circules. For several years the
cardinal has been suffering from a
chronic ailment, which, added to his
age-he will be seventy years old
this month-renders his recovery
doubtful.
In the history of the Catholic
church Cardinal Satolli will forever
be remembered as the first papal
delegate to the United States. His
appointment to Washington in the
early zoos, as many will recollect,
was hailed with mingled feelings of
delight and disapproval I'M Catholic
ecclesiastical circles in the United
States and it is a tribue to Satolli's
diplomacy that the ~jealousies which
were aroused at first were soon dis
sipaated and long before he had COM
cluded his mission he had won the
esteem anr friendship of the leading
American churchmen.
Cardinal Satolli has long been
famous as one Of the most learned
members OF the Sacred College. He
was educated in the diocesan semi
nary of Perugia, then presided over
by Joachim Pecci, Archbishop Of
Perugia, who later was to be called
to the chair of st. Peter as Pope
Leo XIII. Surrounded, as he was,
with associations entirely ecclesiasti-
cal tnthe university town of Perugia,
the trend of Satolli's mind from his
boyhood was in the line OF priestly
vocation. His first ambitions reach
ing out for scholarly attainment
brought him under the scrutiny of a
teacher mor then ordinarily gifted
with scholastic culture in. the di-
rection Of theological knowledge. His
profound intellectual acumen en-
braced the philosophical u%tterances
OF the earliest fathers of the church,
notably st. Thomas Aquinas, the
theories of pagan teachers, and the
fundamental groundwork of all
theology Is learned in the Gospel OF
the Evangelists. With these indi-
vidnal elements the Jealous Arch.
bishop Of Perugia sought to bring
into the adjustment of the popular
issues of the day blended the teach
ings Of the past. And thus early
Satolli grew in touch with the de.
sires of his illustrious teacher, and
his ambitious mind followed enthus-
iastically where the master led.
With his appointment as profes
sor of dogmatic theology in the col
ledge Of the Propaganda, Mgr. Sa.
TOLL, although q comparatively
young man, became at once one o
the most conspicuous figures in the
Catholic world. The hundreds ot
Students who had the privilege Of
attending his lectures carried bacl
to their respective countries news o
the profound learning and marvel
GUS eloqnence OF their professor o
dogma. Cardinal Satolli has beer
a voluminous writer on theologit b
questions and his works have fount
their way to the libraries Of priest
all over the world.

ALL FOREST FIRES
To be Watched from Lookout Sta
lions ON Mountain Peaks.

To be Watched from Lookout Sta
tions ON Mountain Peaks.
Working along the line of secur-
ing the greatest results in protec-
ton against fire, with a minimum
of expenditure, the Forest Service
has decided to establish on the most
advantageous points of the National
Forests in the west q series of look
out stations from which news of the
breaking out Of forest fires can be
telephoned to forest officials.
Since all of these stations will
command a view Of the country for
miles around the work of detecting
and e%xtinguishing fires in their in
cipiency will. by this plan, be great
ly expedited, with the result that
many thousands of dollars worth of
valuable timber will be saved an
nually.
In most of the National Forest
states the climate is very dry, and,
the rainfall light. Conditions, there
fore, are remarkably favorably for,
the spread of fire and extraordinary
diligence is necessary in patrolling
dangerous areas. To administer the
vast area included i'm the National
Forests, approximately 1876, 0OO,-
900 acres, the government has about
1,400 men in the field. If each man
could be used for fire patrol, he
would have to cover approximately
$4,000 acres. AS a matter Of fact,
however, the volume of business on
the National Forests has grown to
such proportions that less than
twenty-five per cent of the force is
available. This makes lit necessary
to spread an average mans service
over nearly four times 1875, 900 acres,
decreasing fire protection far below
the point of safety in many cases.
In the face of this. however, nre
losses on the National Forests are
kept at a point where they are
trivial when compared with the dam
age which would be caused were the
lands contained in the National For
ests unprotected.
