JUDGE GIVES OPINION
DEWEY COUNTY LIMITS
Question Raised In Trial OF Larcency
Case In Circuit Court At Timber
Lake

Judge Taylor, who was acting
for Judge Dillman, held that the
east boundary was fixed, it being
the channel Of the Missouri river.
that the north line has been fixed
because the legislature of 1909, in
changing the boundaries Of Corson
county fixed the southern boundary
farther south than the sixth stand
ard parallel would have run had it
been extended west of the river and
which was the northern boundary
OF Rusk county; that the southern
line is certain because it has beeu
placed much farther north than it
would have been had the fourth
standard parallel been extended
west of the Missouri, which parallel
was the southern boundary of Rusk
county. The western boundary.
the court admitted was somewhat
in douot owing to the fact that it
is uncertain where the twelfth guide
meridian is which was designated
as the western boundary OF Rusk
county. The court held that it was
incumbant on the part Of the de-
fendent to show that such line is as
a matter of fact east of what has
been regarded as the western bound.
ary OF Dewey county which they
Jailed to do.

PROF. CAGES OPINION ON
MONROE MONROE DOCTRINE:

Huron, $. d.. Nov. II. 1918
President Gage, of Huron College
In talk to the : sudcnts on the
Mexican situatioE Friday morning
made several strong statements in
reference to the policy of on,
government, in reviewing condi-
tiOns in connection with our neigh
Dor on the south.
After calling attention to the
fact that the Monroe Doctrine wa
for long time a passive policy
under which the Central and South
American republics committed
crimes, and the United States for
bade European powers to infiict
punishment Oh them, he said that
the new logic" of the Monroe
Doctrine announced during Roose-
velt's administration and being
supported by the present admins
tratlOn, make: that doctrine a
positive and attractive principle.
1t means that this government
must either invite the cooperation
OF the European powers in preserv-
ing life, property AMI peaceful
business conditions in Mexico, OF
must itself accomplish this result.
Eventually our government will
be forced to choose on alternative
or the other. And are able to do
what we forbade others to do!
1t the positive construction of
the doctrine is adhered to. it in.
cludes the possibility Of armed in
tarvention at a terrible cost in
human lives, money and property.
In ease Of a march through the
mountain passes for the purpose
of the overthrow OF the Mexican
capital, which would probable be
a necessity, the butchers bill
would be terrible TO contemplate.
The warning factions in Mexico
would undoubtedly unite and pre-
sent an unbroken front in their
to armed forces of this
country, while their skillful
would lay waste our
frontier, in spite of the heavy
forces we would be obliged
to place along the Rio Grande and
westward along the border.
The MOnre Doctrine makes for
the peace OF the world by keeping
the Hemisphere ont of the quarrels
of Europe and tie United States
will be fortunate if Mexican
troubles can be settled without our
being forced to uphold this doctrine
as a positive and active principle
instead of negatively or passively
as in the past.
