SHERIFF RECEIVES A LETTER

Sheriff Swanson is in receipt
of a letter from w. F. Bancroft,
State Game Warden in which he
says; Dear SIR desire to call
yossr attention to the section of
the Game law to the running of
hunting dogs during the months
of April, May and June. For
the past two years the import
ance of the enfo1 cement of this
section of the law has not been
so important as now-as the
Prairie Chicken season opens on
Sept. 10 this year, and many
sportsmen will endeavor to take
their dogs out training, etc.,
during these months. I wish to
urge upon you the great import
ance of a strict enforcement of
this particular section Of the law
at this time. and expect that you
will do so without fear or favor.
Trust you will give as much pub
licity to this matter as possible.

Hearing last week that a
big vehicle car carrying half a
dozen e. M. F. autos, was
unloaded by the Rickert &
Opheim 20, at thei r commo-
d Gus ware h ouse, the
writer took occasion to stroll
down that way one afternoon
and the wonderful sight we
beheld was a sure cure for the
Crouch. There lined up
the entire length of the ware
house were something like a
dozen b. M, Fs, large and
medium-sized runabouts, all
resplendent in a bright red
paint, with the brass of their
hardware rejecting the rays
of the sunlight which streamed
in through their large wind
ows, till they looked almost
as if the spirit of life had
been breathed into them.
To the man interested in
autos we would say that the
E. NJ. F.. S touring car handled
in Sisseton by the up-to-date
firm of Rickert-Opheim Co.,
is neither an engineering freak
nor a factory fad, but each
principle is tested and approx
ed before the machine is sent
out. When in need of rum
about, be you professional
man, business man or private
citizen, we advise you to con-
suit with the courteous firm of
Rickert-Opheim Co., before
going elsewhere.

A FAMOUS
RELIC l'Ll. DE's'l0RyGED y ! { !

The Lincoln funeral car,
which in April, 1866, carried the
body of Abraham Lincoln from
Washington to its final resting
place at Springfield. ILL.,, was
destroyed by fire in Minneapolis
this week. The car, which has
been visited during the last forty
six years by hundreds. of thous-
ands of Americans who wished
to honor the memory Of the mar
tyred president.
This funeral car, which was
pu, chased by Thomas Lowey
in 1905, brought to Minna-
apo.is and placed in Columbia
Heights, had more than the
memory of Abraham Lincoln to
make it famous. 1t was used as
the private care of Lincoln and
his cabinet during the last three
years of the civil war and after
wards it was taken back to Wash
ington from Springfield, in 1864,
it carried the body of Mrs. Will
lam H. Seward from to the Sew
ard home. 1t had recently been
given by the heirs of Mr.. Lowry
to the Minnesota Federation of
Women's clubs for the purpose
of it's removal to Mendoza to be
preserved with the old Sibley
house as a part of a state histori-
cal museum. The removal was
to have taken place next summer

More Free Land


The counties Of Mellette and
Bennett, in the southern part

ened to settlement some time in
June, and a number Of the land
hungry will be given an opport-
unity to secure a few, more
tracts from Uncle Sam. While
these are both good sized-count-
les the Indians have taken a q
large share of them under their
sallotnents, and the white man
will be allowed to take what is

Corporation Tax Law

The United States Supreme
Court has sustained. by a unani-
GUS decision. the constitutionality
Of the amendment to the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill. This was one
ef tt..e most important cases be-
fore the court. as it involved not
only grave questions of constitu-
tional interpretations but the
validity of a statute under which
more than $27, 900, 600 had al
ready been collected. The court
grounds it's decision on the fact
that the tax under consideration
is not a levy upon property be-
cause of it's ownership, but an
excise tax upon the particular
privilege of doing business in a
corporate capacity. The Consti-
tuition requires that excise taxes
shall be uniform throughout the
United States, but the court
holds that geographical uniform
ity is what is meant, and that the
principle is not violated when
corporations are taxed and par
nerships and individuals are ex-
empt, because the advantage de-
rived from corporate existence
make a very real and reasonable
distinction. The court holds that
the tax applies to quasi-public
corporations as we'll as others;
and it sustains the publicity pro-
visions Of the law as a part of
the machinery provided for col
lecting the tax and verifying the
returns.

TWO JUDGES i /

There will be two candid
ates for the office of Judge of
OF the Municipal Court at the
coming city ELECTION, Judge
Andrews the present incum-
bent of the office, and Thorn
as Mani being the other cam
didate. Judge Andrews friend
claim that his long experience
as a lawyer and in the office
OF Judge of Circuit Court
qualities him to discharge the
duties of that office in a
more capable manner than
anyone who has not had the
benefit of such experience,
and that his record in the
office OF Municipal Judge en-
titles him to a vote of confid-
ence by reelectinghim to that
position. His opponent Thorn
as Mani is a young lawyer
OF recognized ability, and who
has many friends who are
confident that he will give u
highly satisfactory administra-
ton Of that office, if he is. ell
ected to that position, Both
these candidates are so we'll
known to the people of sisse-
ton that we feel that the vot-
ers will be able to make a
judicious selection in the con-
test between them.
