course, the power Of speech. Darwin
said there was a missing link in the
chain that connects man with the low

have asked Charlie the First to move
up from the foot of his class and take
the vacancy.
In 1903 a party OF scientists found
Charlie the First In the forest that
hugs the equator In Africa. He did
not run from them, as would be sup
posed. Instead. he walked confidently
UP to one OF the party and offered
him an armload OF cocoanuts. When
the scientists pushed on, the animal

and bringing along with him a crude

his return TO London, eight months
later. one of the party, a DR., Buchan-
an took the animal with him and
there began to prepare him for an ex.
hibit. The animal learned rapidly. He
learned more by his desire TO initiate
than by being urged to his tasks. The
idea of exhibiting Charlie the First

COUNTY STANDARD OIL CASE WILL
Interest RESIDENTS Of COUNTY

Inasmuch as the supreme court de
cision involves questions of great in
terest to people of the whole state
the finding of the court in the sui
of the secretary of state against tht
Standard Oil company, together WIFI
the law upon which the action wa:
based, is given below:
Spalding, J. This appeal involves
proceedings taken under Chapter 25e
of the laws of 1907. The act In ques
ton reads as follows:
81. Any person, firm or corporation
foreign or domestic!S doing business In
the state of North Dakota and en-
gagged in the production, manufacture
or distribution of any commodity in
general use, that shall Intentionally
for the purpose of destroying or pre-
venting competition, discriminate be-
tween different sections, communities
or cities of this state by selling any
such commodity at a lower rate or
price in one section, community or
city, or any portion thereof, than Is
charged for such commodity in any
other section, community or city,
after equalizing the distance from the
point of manufacture, production or
distribution and freight rates there
from, or who shall willfully for the
purpose of such discrimination and
unfair competition, refuse to sell any
commodity in general use, and in the
manufacture. production or dlstrlDu'
ton of which such person, firm or cor
poration may be engaged, to any other
person, firm or corporation which may
desire to purchase the same and VINO
shall comply with all reasonable regu'
lations of such person. firm or cor
poration and who shall tender pay
ment therefor, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor.
"Sec. 2. If any complaint is made
to thu secretary of state that any cor
poration chartered in this state. or
authorized to do business therein, is
or has been guilty of unfair discrimin-
alton within the terms Of this act, It
shall be the duty of such secretary
to at once institute an inquiry as to
such discrimination. giving the cor
poration complained of notice Of such
complaint and an opportunity to be
heard, and II in the opinion Of such
secretary of state. any corporation.
foreign or domestic, shall have been
guilty of any such unfair discrimina-
ton under the terms of this act, the
said secretary shall so find, and shall
make a record of such finding upon
the records in his office, and shall at
once forfeit the charter Of such cor
poration. if it be a domestic corpora
tion. or if it be foreign corporation
he shall Immediately revoke and for
felt it's permit to do business in this
state.
"sec. 3. If. after the revocation Of
such charter in the case of domestic
corporation, or of it's permit If it be

poration shall continue or attempt to
do business within this state. it shalt
be the duty of the attorney general

testimony of witnesses. All these
things might enter into the considera.
ton Of some of the questions pre-
sented by this appeal. as reasons why,
on demurrer, the statute should be
construed with strictness.
A great part of the argument OF
the appellant Is in support of its con-
tention that the act, in question v1o-
lates Section IS of the Constitution Of
this state in that it attemRs to con-
fer upon an administrative officer
judicial power. Sec. IS, supra, reads:
1.-THE judicial power of the state Of
North Dakota shall be vested In a
supreme court, district courts, county
courts, justices Of the peace and In
such other courts as may be created
by law for cities, incorporated towns
and villages"
A similar statute, but requiring &C.
ton by the court, was passed upon
and sustained in State VS.. Drayton
(Neb.) III N. w. 76S, that, like this,
applying only to discrimination for
the purpose of destroying business OF
a competitor.
The question Of the distribution Of
the powers of government to the legis-
lative, executive and judicial depart
ments under the Constitution has been
passed upon many times and by nearly
every court Of this country, and there
can no longer be any doubt that each
department is supreme within its own
sphere or that the judicial power of
this state has been exclusively vested,
under Sec. IS, supra. in the courts.
Without any extended citation Of au-
thorities we may call attention to the
exhaustive opinion of Judge Hook of

THE tiny representatives of AM th

THE tiny representatives of all the
i nations represented at the national
capital celebrated Christmas, each
with some peculiar custom brought
from his own far-off land. The Christ
mas idea is one easily caught up by
the foreign child and the talk he hears
for weeks before the happy festival
is just as eagerly listened to by the
little Oriental as by the child to whom
it has always been familiar.
Although the Christian significance
of the Saviour's birth is absent from
the Oriental celebration of Christmas.
yet the festival spirit of the season ap-
peals no less to the boys and girls
from far-off China and Japan than to
their little American playmates. The
Chinese embassy was the scene of
much gaiety during the holiday weeks
For the eldest of the ambassadors
daughters. Miss Alice Chang. is only
twelve years old and still retains
many childish tastes. This year the
month-old daughter of the couple, tiny
Nielsen or Mildred Chang. was the
youngest member of the legation who
came in for Christmas presents.
Santa Claus did not neglect Arkira
and Sada Matsui, the tiny son and
daughter of the counsellor of the jap
enese embassy, Keishiro Matsui. Ar
kira and Sada have been used all
