Birch Liquor Act May Be Referred.

Pierre.-It is reported here that Pc
titions are being circulated to refer
TIE Birch liquor law which was passed
this winter by the legislature. Two
years e the same law passed. but
was either accidentally or intention
ally changed and so when it was in
use it was found the liquor interests
had been favored. The provision UNI
der discussion provides that a ma
jority of all voters voting whatever
at an election is necessary TO carry
a license vote, as the law was
changed it required that only g ma
jority Of votes cast on the liquor prop
osition cas- needed to carry license.
This has now been remedied by the
passage of the law again this winter.
Even j. the law is referred it is ex-
pected South Dakota will go dry at

Indian Heirship Lands.

Pierre.-The titles to thousands OF
acres of Indian heirship lands sold
prior to 1907 are at stake in a case
which has been presented to the SUI
preme court by George w. Egan, who
is raising the question Of the right
of the state probate courts jurisdic-
tion In handling such cases prior to
the enactment of the Burke law" in
1907. which specifically gave to state
courts that jurisdiction. The Egan
contention is that where the govern

O. X. for State Vouchers.

Pierre.-The state legal department
holds hat the O. X. of the assistant
custodian of the capitol building and
grounds, is sufficient authority for the
state auditor to issue warrants upon
vouchers presented, as the law which
made the governor custodian, and
gave him power to appoint IN assis-
tant, gives to such assistant equal
power and authority as the superin
tendent. subject to his approval. 1t is
also held that where a pupil from a
country school district goes to a grad
ed school to take up work beyond that
taught in the country school it is the
duty of the school district to pay tut.
ton OF such pupil for the full term Of
the school he is attending. regardless
Of the fact that the term of school in
the district is several weeks shorter
in its limit of school year work. II is
also held that independent school dis
tricts can be required to pay trans.
portation for pupils who reside more
two and a half miles from the school
building, just as can be required OF
country school districts.

Gardens in Palestine.

Gardens in Palestine are found
mainly in the environs OF the larger
towns and owe their existence to
springs and fountains whose precious
waters give life to fruits and flowers,
orchards, parks and pleasure grounds
which enter into the oriental concep-
ton OF Paradise. Where no running
stream exists they depend for life up
on capacious cisterns which drink
water from the rain of heaven" They
are always carefully inclosed and pro-
tected by hedges, walls and bitches.
and the traveller is surprised amid the
heat and glare of the Syrian sun to
enter their pleasant pathways and find
retired and shady hooks under embow-
ering greenery. Their secluded re-
cesses have always been q favorite
resort for purposes Of devotion. They
are often the gathering place Of fam.
lilies and friends and the token Of
peace and security Is when a man may
sit in safety under his own vine and
fig tree.-Christian Herald.

Of the test case decided by Judge w.

stitutionality was raised BY A. +.
Scharnweber, who had been arrested
on the charge of selling cigarets.
Through his counsel, Mr.. Scharn-
weber maintained that the emitting
act of the South Dakota statute was

Attorney LauritZ Miller has announced
that he will not fight the ease and it
is expected that the ban on cigarets
will be lifted for at least two years
over the state, until the next legisla-
ture will have an opportunity to pass
another p~rohibitory law.

Allen B. LincoIn's Work for New Ha- ven Italians Appreeiated-Aidin Them to Good Citizenship.

At New Haven Tuesday evening, former President William H. Taft ad- | dressed a big gathering of Italians of Willimantic, has done much pains l taking work
 The object is not to wean the Ital- 1 ians from their faith but to entourage | them to good citizenship, the improve
 ment of American opportunities, etc, also to provide wholesome diversion for them in the shape of athletics, entertainments and the like. A New Haven paper said of the meeting, which was attended by such represen- tative Italians as s. z. Pon, Dr. Will liam F. Verdi, and Dr. Nicola Mariani Prof. William H. Taft addressed a big gathering of the Italians of New
 Haven in the assembly room of the Green street school last night on American Opportunity. The room was packed and Prof. Taft spoke for half an hour, dwelling on the difficulties and opportunities of Italians in this fcountry, their industry in Connecticut
 and predicting that the race would
 form a strong and inspiring strain in | the American race of a few genera tfons hence.
 P1<or to his arrival the children of 1 the sNhool sang songs and there were | gramophone. Many of the young lads l pre\cnt were members of Garibaldi | Castle, Knights of King Arthur. When
 Prof. Taft reached the hall he was | given a rousing cheer the entire au- | dience standing. He was accompanied
 to the platform by Sylvester z. PoIi
 and pr. William F. Verdi.
 In introducing Prof. Taft pr. Mari
 ami said that the young men of the
 Knights of King Arthur practiced ath- l letiys, held entertainments and did other things that young men loved to do, and in the meantime studied what | it was to live in America. In their 1 struggle after good ideas, sound Chris l tian teaching and how to live honestly ] with their fellow men, they were | greatly indebted to their leader, Allen B. Lincoln, who was, to a large ex-
 tent, their guardian angel"
 Professor Taft also began by pay 1 ing a compliment to MT. Lincoln's s | work. He said: It rests with you to put yourselves in the front rank of
 American citizenship and show your selves worthy of the opportunities that
