INDIAN LID SUSTAINED
BY SUPREME COURT
MINNESOTA LIQUOR CASES HAVE
DECISION IN UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT.

Washington, June 8-The United
S >Ttes supreme "curt has handed
down decision which permits the
sale of liquor at Bemidji, Mimi, and
other points within large territory
of ceded Indian land, to be stopped
by the government. The decision re-
versed the dismissal of prosecutions
against Bemidji saloon men and
means large, dry" territory. These
cases we're started by w. E. Johnson,
special agent for the Indian depart
ment in 1909, who closed more than
400 saloons in northern Minnesota,
on the ground that the treaty of
1855 forbade the sale of liquor in
the territory referred to. In the fed
eral court Judge Willard decided
that the treaty could not longer be
applied to close saloons outside Of
reservations. Many saloons, howev-
er, quit, and many were re-opened.
Earlier Decisions Sustained.
The supreme court decision today
sustains decisions made prior to that
of Judge Willard, one by Judge Page
Morris and one by Judge c. S. Ami
don, both of whom held the provis-
ions of the treaty of 1855 still opera
tive.
Towns where saloons are likely to
be closed as a result of today's decis-
ion include Bemidji, Cass Lake,
Park Rapids, Bagley, Detroit, Wal
ker and Mahnomen, and it is possible
that Moorhead will be included.

STATE PUBLIC
ITY PAMPHLET
Statement Of Candidates For
Congressional and State
Offices.

j. Secretary of State Thomas Hall
has compiled the second publicity
pamphlet printed under the laws of
North Dakota, passed by the legisla-
ture of 1911, with the intention of
furnishing every voter of the state
some knowledge of the candidates
for public Office. The legislature
evidently believed that by sending
the voters of the state pamphlet
containing the announcements and
the pictures of the various candi-
dates for state and congress that
such advertising pamphlet would fur
nish all the information which a
voter would require. Whether this
will serve the purpose intended or
not, 1t is an easy way for the candi-
dates to get certain amount of pub
ltcity. The pamphlet for this year
/ is mailed at a cost of one cent, from
the Fargo postoffice, by the knight
Printing company. The law pro-
vides that candidates may make any
statement they choose regarding
their qualifications and experience,
the same to be edited and compiled
by the secretary of state. Last year
several county and legislative candi-
dates took advantage of the public
) ity pamphlet, but this year there are
none but congressional, state and ju-
dicial candidates. The cost to each
candidate for notice in the official
pamphlet runs from $40 to 500
page. Statements opposing any
candidate can also be included at the
same price. List of voters to whom
the pamphlet is mailed are required
to be furnished by the various coun-
lists. ~ "''on
Secretary Hall has also included
In this pamphlet copy of the non
partisan judiciary act, non-partisan
school election law, and the absent
voters law, passed by the 1913 leg
islature.
In the second congressional dis
trtct there are two candidates for
congress: Col. w. P. Tuttle of Daw-
son aud George NJ. Young of Valley
City. There are four candidates for
United States senate: w. e. Purcell,
Democrat; Andrew Miller, Senator
Gronna and Herman M. Midtbo of
Minot, described as "the poor mans
candidate" Senator Gronna takes
about three pages of the pamphlet
to give brief record of his votes
In the senate during the last three
years. Andrew Miller has a short
account of his record as attorney
general, and Mr.. Purcell has a still
briefer statement to the voters who
are aware that he was appointed to
the office of senator by Governor
Burke and served one year. There
are five candidates for governor, five
for lieutenant governor, three for
state treasurer, but the name of the
Stutsman county candidate, Rollef
Berg, of Courtenay, is not included.
Candidates for the various other Of
fees, including Judge Spalding, the
only candidate mentioned for SUI
preme court, are given. With this
information before him, the voter is
expected to "pick the winner If he

THINK GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP CERTAIN
Opinion Expressed by Two
Prominent Railroad Heads.

Chicago, June 10-E. P. Ripley,
president of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railway, is certain that
government ownership of railroads
in the United States is not far in the
future. In statement Mr.. Ripley
said: .....
"The present condition Of things
cannot stand. The condition under
which private individuals furnish all
the cash and the government assumes
all the managership without any re-
sponsibility, cannot last. What else
is there left but government owner
ship?8
"The only case where the govern
ment did anything well was the dig
ging of the Panama canal. And the
first step was to take control Of the
whole district and absolutely divorce
1t from politics"
London, June 10.-Newman Erb,
president of the Minneapolis and St.
Louis, Denver and Salt Lake, Ann
Arbor and Tennessee and Alabama
and Georgia railroads, in an inter-
view here said he believed govern
ment ownership of railroads in the
United States is Inevitable. Mr.. Erb
said:
What am going to say here I
have already told President Wilson.
And when l addressed the president
l spoke for, and new speak for, vir-
tually every practical railroad man
in the United States-that is to say,
every man interested in the owner
ship of railroads.
"The naturalization Of railroads
Is as sure now as taxes"

STRONG TO MAKE PAYMENT
TO G. E. WYCOFF
Involves Sum Due for Construction OF
Sewer Which Was Allowed by
The City Council

Boise Statesman: ]. r. Strong, city
clerk of Moscow, by a judgment handed
down Monday by the supreme court
is ordered to issue and countersign {
warrant for $500 on the city treasury
in favor of George E. Wycoff.
Wyckoff constructed a sewer system
for the city of Moscow The city ap-
proved the work and ordered the war
rant drawn on the city treasury for
the amount of the contract The clerk
refused on the ground that there was
not enough money in the general
fund at the time to pay the warrant.
Clerk Has No Choice
In deciding the case, the court saws
that, in such matters, the duties of
the city clerk are merely ministerial
and the warrant must be issued. In
answer to the query of the official as
to the source of the funds to pay the
warrant, the court says that the fis-
cal year of some municipalities under
tHe law commences on the hrSt Tues
day in May and the enactment of
law allowing one-ha1f of the taxes lev
led for city purposes to be paid before
the first Monday in aJnuary following
the other half before the first Mon
day in July following, only changes
the time of the payment of taxes and
does not deprive the city of the
Of taxes levied for the fiscal
year, even though such taxes were not
collected during the fiscal year for
which they were levied.
City Must Pay
Chief Justice Sullivan writes the
opinion and as to the matter of the
legality of the contract, which was
called into question by the answer of
he clerk, he says: Where q contract
S within the exercise of the power
ind duties of the city council and the
,ity accepts the work done under such
contract, it must pay for it."
