Fargo. N. D., Jan. 22, 1913-John
Ross. Esq, sheriff Cass county, N. d.
MY dear Sir: With reference to our
recent conversation about the diff"
culties which confront me as judge of
the juvenile court in this county and
district, in dealing with, minors who
are delinquent children under the
statute. chapter. 1T, laws of 1911,
am fully persuaded that the root of
much of the evil can be traced to
three things; the cigarette habit, the
use of slot machines, and the pool
room vice. Our students condemn
them all.
From their many provisions, may 1
call your attention especially to the
following sections
Chapter So, laws of 1909.

who sells, gives to, or in any way
furnishes any cigarette, cigars or
tobacco, in any form to any person

college or university, shall be punish
ed by fine not to exceed $50, or inn
prisonment in the county jail not to
exceed thirty days for each offense.
Sec. 4. Any person who harbors or
grants to persons under Is years of
age, or to minor pupils as described
in section 2 Of this act, privilege of
gathering upon or frequenting any
property or lands held by him. for the
purpose of indulging in the use of
cigarettes, cigars or tobacco in any
form, shall be held in the same penalty
