Cook VIII Fight For Law

The second list of adulterated foods
and drugs is just being mailed from
the office Of the food and drug depart
ment TO the various county auditors of
the state for publication in the varicas
official papers. The list has been
delayed for nearly three months on
account OF the fact that several manu-
facturers, wholesalers and dealers
threatened to sue the commissioner for
damages If their goods we're advertised
throughout the state as adulterated
and It was necessary for the commits
sioner to give them a hearing and also
to have several items of foods and
drugs r~eanalyzed in order to eliminate
any possibility of mistake. After
denomination. however, it was found
that no mistake had been made in any
instance and the list has gone forward
as first prepared for publication.
The publication of lists of aduiter-
ated foods and drugs is a very import
ant factor in the enforcement of the
food and drug laws. Adulterated and
spurious articles cannot stand the glare
of publicity. The publicity law has
the effect of driving them from the
market; consequently, certain vested
interests that have been guilty of
selling large quantities of adulterated

Craft Resigns July 1

+. A.. Craft, state fire marshall, has
rendered his resignation to o. S. Bas-
ford, the commissioner of insurance,
who made the appointment. Mr.. Craft
resigns because of the failure of the
South Dakota Firemen's Pre-
vention association to make good it's
promise last winter to pay the judg-
ment secured by a man named Lamotte
in the federal court, which amounted to
$500. including costs, When the asso-
citation was organized last winter it
agreed, if Mr.. Craft would not resign
as he intended to do, it would pay the
judgment and costs. At the annual
meeting of the association at Big Stone
last week only a portion of the money
had been subscribed by members, who
are the special agents for fire insurance
companies of the state. MI. Craft was
sued by Lamotte for false Imprisonment
in connection with the Pittsinberger
case in Moody county, when the sheriff
OF that county arrested Lamotte in
another county without first having his
warrant certified to, and then turned
over to Mr.. Craft for s~afekeeping. The
court held that the prisoner was falsely
detained and was entitled to $500 and
costs. Mr.. Crafts resignation will take
effect July /.

No Saloons in Faux County
According to al action of the board
OF county commissioners of Faux
County last week, when the bonds OF
five men in outlying towns and villages
who had applied for permission to sell
intoxicating liquors at retail, were
rejected, that county which heretofore
has been dry" only in spots, will be
dry all over.
1t was a fact known to all interested
parties that the board would take
action on these bonds at its regular
meeting on Monday afternoon. Num-
erous petitions extensively signed,
urging the rejection of the bonds, had
been filed with the county auditor.
The corridors of the court house were
thronged with people who sy~mpathized
with the temperance cause as well as
those who openly upheld the saloon.
The size of the crowd maze it neces-
sary to desert the auditors Office.
where the board usually meets, and
hold the session in the court room. E.
II. Thayer, chairman of the board,
made the statement that five of the
six bonds submitted did not comply
with the statute. The sixth bond was
then presented for the actien of the
board. and on motion of Commissioner
Doolittle, seconded by Commissioner
Glen, the same was rejected by the
unanimous vote of the commissioners.
On Wednesday the FIVE bonds which
were irregular had been amended to
comply with the statute and were pre-
sented for the consideration of the
board. Each was in turn rejected. The
saloon advocates are in
pe~rturbed, but all is serene with the

schools of the state, and is 40 cents for
each pupil in excess of any other June
apportionment made. This heavy
apportionment for June is largely on
account of the changes in the manner
of fixing lease valuations on lands of
the state, and which has run the lease
receipts to a higher figure than for
former years. The agricultural leases
have not come up to the expectation
of the promoters of that plan of hand
ling state lands. The total receipts
for this year from agricultural leases
only amounting to $3.50. In addition
to the common school apportionment,
the department will also send out an
apportionment of $18,39 8, to the
different endowed educational institu-
tons of the state. The amount of
