Lecture COURSE
FOR NEXT YEAR
Exceptionally Strong Course Has Been
Secured Al Big ExpenSe

The Ladies Aid Society OF
the Presbyterian chnrch, which
has managed and financed a
lecture course in this city for
several years with great sue
cess. has made arrangements
for next winter, and in our
judgment, has secured four
exceptionally strong attractions
from the Redpath-Slayton Ly.
ceum Bureau.
The course for next season is
the most expensive one yet un.
dertaken here. In fact, the
ladies are turning in a goodly
sum from their past profits in
order to secure this talent and
offer tickets at the regular
prices.
The attractions for the COM
ing season are:
The kellogg-Haines Singing
Party; group of five talented
and highly trained musicians
who have several seasons OF
big successes back of them.
Alton Packard, the famous
cartoonist, humorist and sing
er, probably the most versatile
entertainer in the whole coun.
try. This number alone will
be worth the price of a season
ticket.
Thomas Brooks Fletcher. lee
turer. is "a man with a mes.
sage" and has.succeeded in de-
lighting hundreds of audiences
with the way he delivers it.
He has made good"
Charles E. Varney, lecturer,
is an orator of ability and can
combine the telling of plain
truths with delightful flashes
of wit and humor as is testified
to by press notices from scores
of places where they want to
hear him again.
The Courant believes that
this city owes a great debt of
gratitude to the ladies who have
taken up this work and made
it a success in every way. They
should have loyal support
again this year and we believe
they will.

AFFIRMED BuRR's DECISION
Wesihepe Case OeelsIen by Supreme
Court Al Recent Session

In the supreme court, state
of North Dakota, October term,
1912. First National Bank OF
Westhope, corporation, plain
tiff and respondent, VS.. J. n.
Messner and r. S. Hilleboe,
defendants and appellants.
1. A loan made by a nation
al bank upon real estate securi-
ty, although prohibited by sec.
ton 5137, U. S. Statutes, 1873,
is voidable, and not void, and
the sovereign alone can, be
heard to object. Its ultra wires
nature can not be pleaded as a
defense by the debtor.
2. Where an agent to col.
lect, in violation of his duty,
releases notes and securities
for less than their face value,
he can be held liable in an ac-
tion for damages brought by
his principal, even though such
principal has not first sought
to collect the sum so rernitted
from the original debtor to be
set aside the release and re-
assert his lien in a court OF
equity upon the securities. The
principal is not required to un-
do or TO seek to undo that
which his agent has voluntari-
ly done.
8. In a suit by principal
against an agent for damages
arising out of an unauthorized
act, the complaint is not re-
quired to negative a ratifica-
tion by such principal. The
ratification. if any, would be a
matter of defense.
4. Under the code of civil
procedure. complaints are IL

strued. and the old rule that
pleadings are to be interpreted
strictly against the pleader no
longer obtains.

SAVE THE SAPLINGS, ANYWAY.

There is so much important WORK
tor the Les is.ature which meets next
week u do that it is hard to say
which is the most important. But
little as some people may think it,
there is real urgency tor legisla-
ton that will save what pine for
ests We have left from the ruthless
methods which slaughter infants anu
adults alike in our great family O.
trees and which, il not checked and
regulated. will put us in the class
with China and Spain before another
generation passes. We are ye.
much in sympathy with the splendid
light the Clear Water News has been
making along this line, and the for
estry bill which will be introduced
Will, we suspect, be largely the re.
suit OF the intelligent work of that
paper. The present way of boxing
pine saplings for turpentine is an
J. economic crime. infant arboreal
murder that can most effectually de-
strOy our forest Inheritance and
leave us and succeeding generations
literally naked to our enemies OF
wind and rain storms. The follow
Ing from the st. Petersburg indie
pendent is to the point:
"A bill is to be presented in the
Florida Legislature to preserve the
pine forests of the State and II should
have the backing of the people. Tn,
bill regulates the size of a tree tina,
may be tapped for turpcntine and
also provides for other methods of
handling the trees 30 that they
not be killed. Florida has many
thousand acres of pine lands that ar.
OF great value. Their value will be
Increased by the operation Of the
proposed bill and nobody now will
be hurt. The big lumber and tur-
pentine men are favorable to the bill
as we'll as the conservationists so
there is every reason to believe that
Il will be passed."

what his dear constituents want hili
to do. Rather should he pray fc:
courage to do at all times t.
which his own judgment and con
science dictate as the right thing to

legislator lies not in the mechanical
precision with which he can register

the sound, clear intelligence which
