F0ar Saloons Less

According to the city officials Of Ashland,
fonr saloons will automatically go out Of
business on the first of July. These are
what are known as the Leland Hotel saloon,
the Park Hotel saloon, and the saloons Of
Chas Walkush at 617 East Second ST., and
F. Hainilinski, 1412 St. Clair St.
The city officials say that this. will appar-
emily be the effect Of the recent decision Of
the supreme court of Wisconsin in what
was known as the Baker case.
The effect of this decision appears TO take
in the cities which have exceeded the con-
stitutional limit of saloons. Any saloon
which did not operate subsequent to 1907
cannot be re-licensed legally. Il is claimed
that all four of these saloons were vacant
for time after 1907.
According to the last federal census Ash
land is entitled to ~ saloons and the fact
that "a licenses are now being operated
shows that the constitutional limit has been
exceeded to the number of 81. One saloon
to every $50 inhabitants is the limit.
While "a licenses we're issued last year of
them are for wholesale. Ashland News.

MOSES FRIEDMAN OUT
Head Of Carlisle Indian School investigated
and Resigns

Washington, D. c. designations Of Moses
Friedman, superintendent, and S. J. Nori,
chief clerk of the Carlisle Indian School,
were accepted by Cato Sells, commissioner
of Indian affairs.
Charges were filed several months ago
against Friedman, Nori and other officials
and congressional committee instituted an
investigation, which resulted in Friedman
suspension. In accepting the designations
Commissioner Sells stated that action did
not indicate the attitude of the bureau on
any phase of the accusations. The charges
investigated by the congressional Committee
include iaxity of discipline, unjust expulsion
of students and misrepresentation Of the
school by officials Of the institution. Find
ing in the case, Mr.. Sells said, had bcenre-
ferred to the department. Of justice for such
action as it sees fit to take.

Indian My Have Rum License

Lansing, Mich, May. AN Indian or a
man Of Indian decent cannot purchase liquor
in the state of Michigan, but provided he
fills other requisites necessary for the grant
ing Of a license to sell liquor, there is moth
ing in the state laws to prevent him doing
SO.
This is the gist Of an opinion rendered on
Saturday by Attorney General Fellows at
the request of the authorities of Baraga
county, who it seems arr. confrorted with
alLactual case.
Mr.. Fellows holds that if the man though
he be of Indian decent, is citizen of
Michigan, and otherwise is capable of dis
pensing liquor he can not be refused a
license on the ground that he comes within
the law regarding Indians and the. liquor
trade. Il Baraga Journal. 1t seems peculiar
that an Indian or person of Indian decent is
denied the right of buying Intoxicating
liquors at any place, but, still the state laws
grant him the privilege of a saloon license
which may be construed that the same state
law grants the Indian the right to the pur-
chase of liquor at any time for would not an
Indian going in the saloon business have to
purchase Intoxicating liquori This is a
question which undoubtedly will be threshed
out by the federal and state authorities.

GOVERN M ENT
DOES NOT
Approve of Any Hog Cholera Cure
Now on Market.

Washington, d. C.--Evidence OF what
appears to befa well organized campaign to
delude farmers throughout the country into
buying an alleged cure for hog cholera, ull-
der the impression that this has been invest
igated and approved by the United States
Government, has reached the Department
of Agriculture. Articles praising this med
icine, Benetol by name, are being sent out
widespread to newspapers. These articles
are SO worded that it appears as if the De
.partment Of Agriculture had received reports
from the state of Minnesota showing that
the medicine had proved most beneficial.
As matter Of fact the one report received
by the department was an unofficial and
unsolicited statement sent presumably from
the promoters themselves. The depart
ment attaches no importance whatsoever
to this statement. It has no reason to be-
heve in the efficiency of any proprietary
cure for hog cholera and does not recon-
mend any. Under certain conditions It
urges farmers to protect their stock with
anti hog cholera serum but that is all.
In connection with this attempt it may be
said that the medicine, which is now put
forward as good for hogs, was advertised
some time ago as a means of killing tuber-,
culosis, typhoid, and cancer germs, accord
ing to an article published in the Journal OF
the American Medical Association. At
that time it was asserted that the Army
was interested in it. As a matter Of fact
the Army was no more interested then
than the Department Of Agriculture is now.
In view Of the evidence that the attempt
to create this false impression is persistent
and widespread, all hog owners are warned
to communicate with the United States
authorities before accepting as true any
statement that the Government recommends
any treatment other than the serum already
mentioned.

Decision Given in
CASE Of FIVE SALOON KEEPERS

CASE Or FIVE SALOON KEEPERS

Il Milwaukee, May "A halfbreed Indian
is not an Indian under the United States
statutes as interpreted by Judge Geiger in
the federalscourt
The ruling was handed down in the case
Of FIVE Shawano saloon keepers charged
with selling liquor to an Indian, the alleged
Indian being Frank Lyons, halfbreed.
A halfbreed is not an Indian, still he is
no: a whiteman. Now what is hes The
Interior Department l.olds the mixed breed
is an Indian and he is thus considered. by
all, still Judge Geiger holds that he is not
an indian and on this decision allowed Ave
saloon keepers to escape punishment for
having sold liquor TO Indians. tits peculiar
that these saloon Keepers should be let go
for had it of beensthe Indian thus caught he
would Of received 90 days and hundred
dollar fine and undoubtedly he would not
have heen.Aclassed as whiteman either.

seems elastic ard made to stretch every
way but where the Indian is concerned

SO as Indians is all we see being taken to

sentences and fines combined. While many
