MORRIS VETS SEE
LOOPHOLE IN LAW
Result of Suit Started at Moor
head May Restore Saloons
in Stevens County Seat

Several Morris attorneys and others
we'll posted on matters of law profess
to see loophole for chartered cities
through which to escape the provisions
of the county option law. Members
of the Stevens county bar are divided
in this opinion.
Following the defeat of the saloons
in Clay county in the recent county
option election the saloon men decided
to test the validity of the Minnesota
county option law. The liquor dealers
there have engaged George Bangs, a
we'll known Fargo attorney, and will
bring the matter to the supreme court
for a decision. The Moorhead LIQUOR
dealers will contend that under the
Minnesota law municipalities are
chartered by the state, and under this
direct and special authority they are
invested with certain rights and
privileges to do certain things and
to conduct their own internal affairs
without respect to the rest of the
county in which they are located.
They hold that under these special
municipal charters the residents of the
municipalities have the exclusive right
to say whether liquor shall be sold
within the limits of the city and that
residents outside have no authority to
interfere.
They also contend that there is
nothing in the enactment of the county
option law that repeals the provisions
of the special charter law and there
fore the former is still in force and
cannot be superseded by the more re-
cent enactment which carries no re-
pealing clause.
Morris has special charter. 1t is
in the same class with Moorhead and.
if the Moorhead liquor dealers secure
favorable decision from the supreme
court Morris will bes entitled to con-
tinue liquor sales regardless of the de-
cision at the polls last Monday. 1t
will then be up to the drys to hustle
local option contest next.
But the validity of the county op-
tion law is not worrying the county
option forces any. They say the mat
ter of constitutionality was taken into
consideration when the county opticn
law was framed and passed. Two
years ago county option law was de-
feated in the Legislature by some of
the it's friends who believed the bill
at that time contained flaw. The
last legislature had competent legal
sdvise and Morris drys have no fear
that the liquor element will succeed
in knocking out the county option law.
They predict that the next Legislature
will pass a statewide prohibition
measure sweeping the saloon from
Minnesota within three years.

Fourteen saloons in Stevens county
will close their doors and retire from
business within six months according
to the decision of the voters in Mon
days county option election. The
above table of figures tell the mute
story in the last chapter of an event

for the past two months but which
was hottest during the last ten days.
AS result of the campaign three

Hancock and one at Alberta will join

at DonnelEy to have the licenses there
renewed before the canvaesing board
makes it's filing which will be with
in fifteen days. There is some dis
pute about the legality of this pro-
ceedure. The same thing was tried
in Clay county without success. The
attorney general holds that the county
option law provides that no licenses
can be granted after a county votes
dry. No licenses had been granted at
Donnelly before Monday. it is claimed.
Therefore the matter of license at
Donnelly is in dispute

MAIL CARRIERS TO
GET PAY INCREASED
All Routes of Twenty-four Miles
in Stevens County Come
Under New Provisions

Morris mail carriers will be made
happy after July 1 by having their
monthly pay increased to 200 a
year. All of them are fortunate in
working over routes "a miles or
more in length and that fact places
them on q fiat salary hereafter.
Notice of increase was received here
a few days ago according to an order
issued by the department because of
a new law passed by the last congress.
The postmaster general interpreted
the old law to mean that salaries
should be graded according to the
amount of mail carried and sthe length
of the roads traversed. The new Or
der of things advances the pay Of
every carrier out of the Morris office
and raises the pay OF many other car
riers in the county.

signed the county option petitions
which asked that death warrant for
his business be signed. His place of
business is at Donnelly and will be
the very first to close.
Both sides conducted a vigorous
ssampaign during the last ten days but
the campaign seems to have left no
i'll feeling. Both sides are shaking
hands across the chasm today and as
time wears on all traces of the fight
will be obliterated. While the drys
feel exultant over their victory there
are many expressions of sympathy for
the saloon men who plead unprepared-
ness for the sudden change of business
or occupation. But for the greater
number of the saloon men in the
county it is not believed the hand of
afliction will rest very heavily. The
result of the vote in Morris came as
great surprise. 1t was expected that
the vets would carry the city with
any thing from so to $50. according to
the sentiments of the prognosticator.
No saloon fight has been fought here
for the past eighteen or nineteen
years, when the city was a village
and internal struggles figured in the
election As long as the oldest in
habitant can recall Morris has al
ways had saloons. It is claimed
that no less than thirty licensed
drinking places existed here at the
time the railroad came through.
The dry campaign was in charge
of committee of men from all parts
of the county with j. II. Devenney
as chairman. He had the able assist
ance of Messrs. A. Stone, senior and
junior; Judge Beise, Thomas Mangan,
F. E. Ware. H. Nobbs. F. A. Stever.
T. H. Mcguire. Andrew Olson and
others of Morris, and number Of
we'll known farmers and business men
from other sections of the county
as well as prominent speakers from
outside. ''Tke whole committee
worked harmoniously and energeti
cally and we were surprised from
the first at the interest shown and
the encouragement given US, said
Mr.. Devenney after the result at the
polls was announced. ''The vets
gave US an awful run but / cannot see
anything to criticise in their cam
paign. / am sure all the rest Of the
committee feel the same way"
Stevens was one of the seven coun-
ties which voted on Monday. Six of
them passed into the dry column while
one remained wet. The dry counties
were Pine, Stevens, Fairbault, Chip
pewa, Houston and Mile Lacs. Mar
tin remained wet by majority of 60
votes and contest has been started
