The California boy is straight and

like a we'll bred college man. AS a
matter of fact, the new champion has
a high school education, and his use
of English n grammar is as different
from the language of the ordinary
scrapper as day is from night. Richie
is just a few months past 21 years of
thusiasm of a ~17-year-old boy.
When he says he is going to win,
you may be certain that he thinks that
way. If he Is beaten he admits it.

LICENSE MEN BARRED
Ruling Of Judge DebeIl Barring Hold
ers of Licenses From Holding Office
in License Granting Bodies.

A live question which is being de-
bated in business circles is the recent
ruling of Judge Debell of the county
court at Duluth which sustained the
chairman Of the village board of
Floodwood. nea the city named, in
his refusal to sign a liquor license
voted to a member Of the village
board, by the members of the board.
Jean New, the member of the viii
lage board named, whose license the
chairman of the board refused to sign,
brought mandamuS proceedings to
compel the signing Of the license, but
the writ was denied by Judge Debell,
who stated in his opinion that a mem
Der of the council cannot make a con-
tract with the council and the fact
that the member refrains from voting
on the subject cuts no figure whatever.
The court held that what applied to
contracts applied to licenses. Public
policy demanded that it should be so.
The same doctrine has been held for
many years by the Canadian courts.
Midas Criterion, a prominent liquor
trade paper of Chicago, dwelling
editorially on the Debell ruling. which
it approves, says that If 1t is sustain
ed by the higher courts. and it be-
lieves it will be, the same interpreted
ton could be applied to aldermen In
city councils, and not only to saloon
licenses, but other licenses.
In Moorhead, with a city election
only about sixty days off, h question
is an interesting one. especially when
is known that n or two men in
the trade were receptive candidates
places in the aldermanic circle.
The Debell opinion may be tested in
supreme court before city election

choose, according to the number Of
acres o can devote to the MUIR

kota offers you in this line.
But, if this line is too small for
you, you think a margin of $3.50 on

this:

Does that satisfy your aspirations,
sir? That's all the wheat you need
on the farm or on your breakfast
table, and more than twenty-six
outside. It's over SIS in h ban
for 81 in the stomach. What more
do you want? That's North Da-
kota at the present time, with only
a little over 500, 900 people in it
Whatll it be when it's invitation to
1900, 600 more Of you to come inside
and take your share is accepted?
Under such circumstances do you
need to look into the matter or live
stock n butter? Or shall we just
tell you that North Dakota could
support, 100000 more, or almost that
many, on her butter production, and
1900. 600 more on her livestock?
Besides, to return to that elbow
room matter as compared with the
elbow grease! Not only is this thirty
five pounds of elbow grease in North
Dakota to five in h United States
possessed by a knot of people only
one-fourth as big as it ought to be-;
but it's possessed of only about two-
thirds as many farms as there ought
to be. In fact, it's all hogsheaded,
as 1t were, on less than 10000 farms,
when there really ought to be over
100000. With enough landscape to
hold over 100000 people, North
Dakota's got enough farming land to
hold something like this:
Number of farms North Da-
kota ought to nave $500. 1868 67
Number of farms North Da-
kota now has .,.......... 1880
Additional number of farms
North Dakota ought to have 32,507
Thirty-two and a half thousand
more farms. And when we say that,
we mean northwest farms-not the
mean only 1873 acres. We mean the
big, fat 266 acres that the average
farmer in the stated north
west gets. In other words, North
Dakota could slice up all the land
she's nov got in farms, including the
grazing land, give each mothers son
and daughter-and the old man., too,
as far as that's concerned-266 acres
and still have enough to hand out
266 acres each to 1880 more per-
son
Kind o. sounds like a bugle call to
supper for you, doesn't it? Makes
you want to haul up the horses on
the nineteen to five wagon and stop
