An important decision has been
handed down by the supreme court OF
Montana which has a direct bearing
uponsthe issuance ST passes Oil rail
roads. It appears that Z. A., John
was granted pass over the Northern
Pacific, that while riding upon such
pass he sustained injuries and was
given judgment in district court for
$4,000. This the supreme, court
affirmed upon the grounds that it was
illegal to issue passes and that the
implied contract upon the back OF
the permit releasing the railroad com
pany from all liability was conse.
quently nulli6ed. This should prove
a lesson to railroad companies who

means that saloons will not be closed
anywhere in the ''Indian country"
unless they are prohibited in all of
northern Minnesota. The department
declares that it has the power to stop
all liquor, selling in treaty territory,
but thatspower will be held as club
to compel general cooperation in the
work of keeping liquor from the

have to be more careful in dispensing
their poison. =

CONSTITUTIONAL 111END1LENrs.

CONSTITUTION4LsAM
There are six constitutional amend
ments on the pink ballot to be voted
on at the ensuing election, and it be-
hooves the voters to carefully study
the same and vote intelligently. It
has been customary for voters to pay
scant attention to constitutional
amendments, mainly because the
average voter does not understand the
same. This is not as it should be-.
The constitution is the foundation of
all laws. All laws must oe in con-
formity with the provisions of the
constitution. When law is held to
be unconstitutional by the courts it is
void and of no effect. The state con-
stitution is the fundamental law of the
state.
The first amendment on the ballot
amends section l6 article of the con-
stitution. At present the constitution
provides that in no case shall more
than one-third of the cost of construct
ing or improving any road or bridge
be paid by the state. In other words,
for every dollar the state appropriates
the county is obliged to appropriate
two. Many of the smaller counties
cannot avail themselves of state aid
because of this restriction. The
proposed amendment provides that
the state may defray so per cent of the
cost of constructing or improving a
road or bridge. Fifty per cent is too
much to require of the county, but so
is better than 6625. By all means
vote YES on the first amendment on
the little pink ballot.
The second proposition will save
the state several thousand dollars
each year if adopted.
The third proposition provides for
insurance against loss by hail and
wind, and that the state auditor may
levy an acreage tax on the lands
which may have been listed with the
county auditor for protection against
hail storms, and to provide for
handling and distributing the fund.
We have grave doubts about the FEAST
bility of this proposition.
The fourth proposition should not
receive the support of an intelligent
voter in the state, and especially
should every northern Minnesotan
oppose it. It should be entitled an
amendment to furnish a pretext for in
definitely postponing fair apportion-
ment of senators and representatives.
We cannot understand why such an
amendment should have been sub
mitted. The enactment of such an
amendment reflects no credit upon the
members of the 1909 legislature. Vote
NO on the fourth proposition.
Propositions five and six are in the
interest of reforestation. What is
needed are laws to protect the forests
we have from fire. We see no neces-
sity for either of the amendments.
The legislature has ample power now
to provide for reforestation by direct
appropriation. The last two pro-
posed amendments are of doubtful
utility.

81 ET THE STATE 20 III.
A great catastrophe has befallen q
section of our state. Terrible forest
fires have devastated thousands 81
acres along the Rainy river in Ros.
eau, Beltrami and Koochiching coun.
ties. Thriving towns have been wiped
out of existence. Thousands of PEG.
pie, including hundreds of families oil
poor settlers, have lost their all.
Millions of dollars worth of property
has been destroyed and, saddest oil
all, scores of human lives have been
lost. The dead cannot be brought
back to life, but the survivors can and
must be cared for. Temporary assist.
ance has been rushed to the stricken
and destitute sufferers in the FIRE zone,
but aid on larger scale is needed,
and needed now. We're the state leg.
islature in session we have not the
least doubt but what bill would be
passed under suspension of the rules,
without a dissenting voice, appropri.
ating 100000 for the relief of the
sufferers. Why not anticipate the &C.
ton of the legislature? Governor
John s. Pillsbury did not hesitate to
pledge his credit to aid the grasshop-
per sufferers in the early 7O's. The
legislature promptly made good his
personal guarantee to the banks that
had advanced the necessary relief
funds. In this great emergency why
can not Governor Eberhart follow
the precedent established by Cover
nor Pillsbury? Winter is fast ap-
preaching and the homeless need food,
clothing and shelter. The charitably-
disposed and generous-hearted citi-
zens should not be called upon to bear
the entire burden of relief; the entire
state should share in the work. Gov
ernor Eberhart and the other state
officials should Immediately borrow
$4,000 from the banks of St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth and the
same should be placed in the hands
of the Red Cross society or some
other responsible agency for the re-
lief of the sufferers. If the guarantee
of the state officials is not sufficient the
same should be supplemented by the
guarantee of private citizens. There
is not the shadow of doubt in our
mind but what the legislature will
promptly make good the guaraa-
tees.
AS an evidence of our faith in the
loSAS1"ouio Uuo publisher Oh aLno
U i n, in behalf of the public-spir-
tied citizens of the village of Prince
ton, will guarantee 81, 900 of the $780,
900.
The great and rich state of Mime
sofa can afford to care for it's unfor-
tunate citizens whom the devastating
tornado of fire has robbed of all
worldly possessions. Already the
response TO the appeals for assist
ance has been quite generous. But at
least 500, 900 additional will be nee
essary for the permanent relief of the
sufferers. Prompt action is demand
ed. Governor Eberhart, as chief ex-
ecutive, should take the initiative.
The people of the state will be solidly
behind him.

The longer we watch the workings
of the primary election law the more
firmly do we become convinced that it
needs "fxing.'" It is an undeniable
fact that under our present system of
selecting candidates the nominees do
not, in many cases, measure up to the
standard which prevailed under the
old convention system. Often the best
men are deferred from running, by
reason of the fact that two expensive
campaigns are necessary, thus making
it almost prohibitive for a man of
ordinary means to crafty any politi-
cal aspirations he may have. He is
bled on every side and becomes to
many a source of revenue. If the law
is so meritorious why not extend it on
up to the officials higher up? Give US

negro AGAIN IN
MESHES OF LAW
CHARLES KING, WHO HAS BEEN
IN TROUBLE HERE, REPORTED
ARRESTED AT DULUTH ON A
PETIT LARCENY cHARGE-HE
PLEADS NOT GUILTY.

Charles King, colored, recently ac-
Quilted of the charge of murder In
The district court and of assault and
battery in justice court, has again
fallen into the meshes of the law, ana
is now held in Duluth on the charge
OF petit larceny. At the time Of his
most recent escapade in this CITY
when he was cleared of the assault
and battery charge heard before Judge
Miller. King was Immediately arreste1
for gambling, to which he PLEADED
guilty and was fined 500. He left at
once for Moorhead and has not been
conspicuous in police circles since.
It was learned this morning that he
was arrested Monday afternoon in a
Duluth restaurant on the charge OF
petit larceny, to which he has entered
a plea Of not guilty. No one in this
city had heard of the negro's latest
trouble and it was stated that not
even his close associates had been
wired to come TO his assistance.
The following is an account Of the
arrest yesterday from The Duluth Her
aid:
Charles King, a negro recently &C
quilted at Fargo. N. D., on charge
Of numbering James Hutchinson In a
restaurant, was arrested about $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon by Patrol
man Andre on a charge Of petit lar
ceny.
King was pointed out to the police
men by a pedestrian who had seen
him pick UP a purse, which was later
found to contain $40 in change and
some letters addressed to Miss Lenore
Catherine Vail at Minneapolis. Miss
Vail is the daughter of former Senator
Vail of Virginia, on her way home
for the Christmas holidays from Min
neapolis, where she has been attend
ing the state university.
When arrested King was boarding
a street car for Superior, and the
theory is that he had no intention of
returning the purse or it's contents to
the owner. il was found near the
corner of Fifth avenue west and SUI
perior street. The negro first denied
having the pocketbook, but later con-
fessed that he had it.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge
of petit larceny, however, claiming he
had no intention of stealing the purse.
