of S5,5O0,O00 an acre. The farm OF

CAN CONTEMPT OF THIS COURT
BE AVOIDED?

On its own motion, the Supreme Court
Of Wisconsin has heard argument to
show that it erred in holding that the
citizenship amendment to the State
Constitution was improperly adopted
and void. The court, to hear argument
why it should reverse itself, ignored the
rules that it has adopted to estop motions
for reopening cases. ;. /. 1t was of no
concern to the justices Of the Supreme
Court that the Legislature had initiated
the citizenship amendment that both
houses of two successive Legislatures
had passed it and that the people had
approved it. The only thing that the
court could see was the manner in which
the amendment had been recorded in the
legislative journal. Were the is dotted
and the is crossed? Hand any clerk
neglected his duties or pen wiper proved
faithless to its obligations? The justices
were looking for flaw and they found
one. 1t mattered nothing that the
work Of the people had been destroyed
and their will thwarted. Piff1e had
risen to Its apotheosis. But when the
justices found that they had jeopardized
the title of two of their members to
office and invalidated the increase in
the salaries of all the members of the
court, they were staggered with the
calamitous consequences /. . What a
difference when the justices themselves
were hit with their boomerang and hoisted
with their own petard? All, that was
horse of another color! 1t was time
to reason calmly. Call in the lawyers,
reopen the case, search for precedents

LEGISLATIVE LETTER
Special to the Review,
State-Wide Prohibition.

Shortly before noon Wednesday of
last week the house. engaged in a battle
over the Larimore-Davis joint resolution
proposing statewide prohibition by a
constitutional amendment, with ma
jority report of the temperance COM
mittee against it and minority for it.
Representative Larimore, in behalf of
the motion to put the bill on general
orders from whence it cannot be rescued
except by a two-thirds vote to make
it special order-said that a constitu-
tional amendment, involving a vote of
the people, is the proper way to solve
the liquor question. It would clearat the
political atmosphere. Ii the people
are not given right to vote on this
question, it will be the issue in the next
campaign, and it should be disposed of
now by putting it up to the people. a
Representative Levy M. Davis OF
Long Prairie said that with county
option the state will be spotted wet
and dry, and there will be innrmerable
blind pigs, so that the state will have
all the evils and expense Of the liquor
traffic without the revenue. Statewide
prohibition, he said, is the solution.
Both Larimore and Davis voted against
county option.
Representative Robert Carmichael Of
Pennington said the resolution was
conceived in iniquity, born in sin, has
lived a life of shame and should be
allowed to die in the arms OF it's friends.
1t is a waste of time, he declared, to
spend any more time on temperance
measures at this session, and this one
was introduced for political purposes.
The minority report on the Larimore
resolution was defeated 81 to 60 and
the majority report indefinitely post
poning the bill was adopted. This
puts this question to sleep for this
session.

AWAY WITH REFORMERS,

Brother James Ruane of the Slayton
Gazette hits the nail on the head when
ae says that people can not be made
sober, honest, Industrious, virtuous, or
anything else, by law, that law does not
eliminate human passions and that
human beings will endeavor to satisfy
their passions in spite Of all laws to the
contrary. In Mr.. Ruane's opinion,
the saloon has long filled want of the
poor man, furnishing him with club
hal1se where he might forget the dull
wutine OF days Of ceaseless, undressing
soil, for few hours at least, and if the

The Owatonna Journal Chronicle uses
swo and a half columns in it's last issue
explaining why the taxes are higher IN
Owatonna than they have been and
Hes; TO show that they will be lower
aeS1 year The reason it surmlses
shat the taxes will be lower next year is
because. no large public improvements
are planned for 1915 or 1916 and it
seems very likely that the city will take
a couple OF years rest from such enter
prises. It. is also proposed to do away
with the services of one of the night
police officers, thus saving $72O year.
Owatonna went dry over year ago.

Red Schoolhouse Saved.

The little red schoolhouse that rural
communities feared would disappear if
the educational reorganization bill be-
fore the legislature should pass was saved
yesterday afternoon. The senate COM
mittee on education decided to split the
proposed organization of school affairs
and school boards into two bills.
At the same time they decided not
to touch the county unit of school
supervision, thus saving the little red
schoolhouse. Rural communities had
opposed the bill, but members of the
committee said yesterday that feature
of it would be eliminated.

The bill by Senator Ole O. Sageng

liquor licenses outside of cities and

without word OF debate or either side.
The house bill is still in the temperance

Telephone Bill Passes. ),

The Minette-Burrows telephone regu-
lation bill passed the senate late yester-
day afternoon, after battle over am end
ments that lasted until long after the
dinner hour.
The main point of contention was the
matter Of the burden of proof where one
company requests that another connect
with it's lines for long distance service.
In the bill as it passed the house the
burden of'proof as to the public necessity
of such connection was upon the re-
sisting company. That is, the bill
assumed that in the absence OF proof
to the contrary connection was public
necessity, and it was up to the resisting
company to prove that it was not.
The senate committee amended the
bill so as to shift the burden of proof
upon the company requesting connection.
It must prove public necessity before
the connection would be ordered.

CETSF|VE YEARS
At HARD LABOR
FOR HIS PART IN HOlD,UP, CON-
MITTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO
IN NORTHWEST PART OF THIS
CITY - WOMAN FINED.

After celebrating for over twenty.
four hours, the jury in the case OF
the State VS.. l.. p. Smallwood ct. al,
at ten o'clock Friday night returned a
verdict assessing penalty of five
years at hard labor in the peniten.
tiary, in the case of Smallwood for
robbery, and a fine of 500 against
Anita Jones, his present wife, as an
accomplice.
This is the case wherein the de-
PENDANTS, together with another youth
and young woman, were charged with
Texas, who came here to visit one
of the girls with a view of matri-
mony, and relieving him of over 500
in cash, besides some other effects.
Two OF the defendants were used by
the county attorney as witnesses after
they had expressed a desire to tell
all they knew of the matter, and
were given immunity The two de-
PENDANTS named above were tried.
This case was hard-fought through
out, and when the jury hai been out
over one day, it was firmly believed
they were hopelessly hung up, and
could not agree. 1t was stated, how
ever. that the only contest between
the jurymen was the amount of the
penalty to assess against the girl, as
they did not feel that she was suf-
ficiently guilty to share the fate of
her husband.
Attorneys James II. Matkers and ].
z. Champion represented the defend
ants, and have given notice of appeal.

WHO is SAID TO LIVE NEAR

One week ago the Ardmore Hide

head of turkeys from two men who

that the turkeys were alleged by T.

erty, taken without his consent.
Yesterday, one of the parties came
back with a number of chickens and
offered them for sale at the same
place, when he was placed under ar
rest, and the officers at Wilson re-
quested to arrest the other accused
party. The man arrested here gave
his name as Guy Gaunt. The officers
did not name the one they are seek
ing, preferring first to get their game
before divulging his name.
For some time there appears to
have been an organized gang of
chicken thieves operating about Will
son, and the officers are determined
to break it up, if possible At any
rate, they have made what they be.
lieve to be a fair beginning.

the United States growing out of the

lies. known as good Mexicans," left
standing crops and everything to seek
what they believed was safety in their
native country. A dual reason for their
fears is found in the rigid cleanup
campaign of the peace officers, and
the danger from bandits of their own
race, who during the past two days
killed two. There is little traffic
across the border now from either side.

WILL NOT HAVE
AN EXHIBIT
ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY THAT
NO FUNDS WERE AVAILABLE
FROM COUNTY - MONEY WILL
NOT BE RAISED.

1t was announced yesterday by the
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce and the county agricultural
agent that Carter county would have
no exhibit at the state fair this year
from the fact that the county com.
missioners failed to adopt the county
fair bill and therefore no funds are
available to take the exhibit, which
has already been collected, to the
state fair at Oklahoma City.
1t had been suggested that the
fund might be raised by popular sub
scription, but the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce stated that
as it was a question in which all of
the county was interested, he felt it
would be an imposition upon the mer-
chants OF the city to ask them to
bear the entire burden, rs they were
frequently asked to contribute to
other things throughout the entire
year.
Carter county will have several fine
specimens in the state exhibit at the
International Dry Farming Congress
at Denver this month, but unless
unforeseen occurs at once.
the exhibit at the state fair will have
to be foregone this year.
