I'm cities OF the fourth class local
option may be adopted by a majority
vote on that question instead OF by a
majority OF all the votes cast at an
election. This decision of the supreme
court was made today in unfolding
the law passed in 1913 extending To-
cal option choice to cities of 10000.
Whether lie Sueur should issue
liquor licenses was submitted to the
voters last April. The vote as can
vassed authorized the issuance of
such licenses. John Anderson, citi-
zen, Immediately started contest.
The district court found that the
total number OF ballots cast at the
election was 446 of which 222 were
in favor OF license, PA against and
ten were blank
Opinion Of the Court.
The court determined that license
had been adopted by a majority of
eight votes and dismissed the con.
test Mr.. Anderson thereupon APP

Under the old local option law the
statute applied only to villages and
towns and the election was governed
by charter provision. But in 1913 the
legislature extended the option.

election in controversy was held

Two Justices Dissented.
Chief Justice Brown and Justice
Holt dissented from the opinion on
the ground that the Legislature did not
intend to provide one rule for cities
of the fourth class and another for
villages.
Under the old law majority Of all
votes cast in villages and towns was
needed for license to carry. The syl-
labus follows:

the question as to whether licenses

SADDLE AND SABER

According to the following from
the New York Press. the cavalry is
not entirely out of business yet:
One interesting aspect of the Eu-
ropean war has been the conspicuous
part played by the cavalry British
and French horsemen have been a
tower of strength to the armies of
the allies and the German Uhlans
have borne in almost every case the
first brunt of the kaiser's victorious
advance.
A few years ago it. was iterated
and reiterated that the day of the
cavalryman. was over-that the in
crease in the effective range of rifle
fire had made cavalry charge
against an infantry position impos-
sfble and relegated the soldier on
horseback, save for use as a scout,
to the scrap heap of war.
This view lost a good deal of its
force in the Russo-Japanese war and
probably will disappear in the light
of the experience of the great con-
fiict now in progress.
A British hussar wounded in an
engagement in which his regiment
routed a detachment of German
cuirassiers has given this realistic
description:
Eve came plump on them, round
a corner in a little village. 1t was an
absolute surprise for both of US. Be
fore you could wink we were flying
at one another as hard as the horses
could go, and the villagers were yell
ing and scrambling into the houses
on either side of the road.
There was no firing; it was abso-
Iutely a proper cavalry charge, like
you see in pictures-horses going
hell for leather and every man sit
ting hunched up under the No. /
guard and hoping he wouldn't get
his knees crushed by the fellows on
each side of him.
That reads rather more like 1914
than the present year of grace. Evil
IDENTIFY, however, the cavalryman
still lives to lend to war romantic
and exciting incidents.

LITANY FOR BRITISH
ARMY AND NAVY

A good American, who can never
forget that he was born in England.
has handed the Star the following
British war poem:
Litany for Our Army and Navy
CTune 'fMelita" Eternal Father,
Strong to Save.')
God of our fathers at whose call
We now before Thy footstool fall;
Whose grace hath made our Empire
strong,
Through love of right and hate of
wrong,
In this dark hour we plead with
Thee,
For Britain's cause on land and sea.
Not for the lust of war we fight.
But for the triumph of the right;
The strife We hate is on us thrust,
Our aims are pure, our cause is just;
So strong in faith We plead with
Thee
For Britain's cause on land and sea.
Asleep beneath Thine ample dome,
How many a tender dream of home;
Or charging in the dust and glare,
With war-bolts hurting thru the
air;
In this dark hour we plead with
Thee,
For Britain's sons on land and sea.
If wounded in the dreadful fray,
Be Thou their comfort and their
stay;
If dying, may they in their pain,
Behold the Lamb for sinners slain;
In this dark hour we plead with
Thee,
For Britain's sons on land and sea-
And soon, o Blessed prince of Peace,
Bring in the days when war shall
cease,
And men and brothers shall unite.
To fill the world with love and light !;
Mean while, o Lord, we plead with
Thee,
For Britain's cause on land and sea.

The Star is much obliged to the
british for capturing German Sa-
moa. Not that it thinks the British
will make better neighbors than the
Germans, but they have headed off
the japanese. The Samoan group,
since 1899, has belonged to Germany
and the United States. Germany's
Samoan territory has been consider
ed her most strategic possession in
the Pacific. The two largest islands,
Upo1u and Savii, with some smaller
members of the group, belonged to
Germany and Tutila and others
came under American control. Tu-
tia is the strategic territory of the
group. At Page Page splendid
land-Iocked harbor, the United States
has a naval station. Apia, which has
just been seized by the British, the
commercial metropolis of the group,
contains fine churches, schools and
residences and is the seat of the

sionary Society Robert Louis
