Importance, and the less the newspa-

Pardon us, dear Mrs. Gait, but you
are wrong. AS the prospective ru-
leress of these United States you are
of much importance. AS the one
chosen by our President to cheer his
sorrows and share his joys, you give
yourself, for a time, to the country,
even as he has done.
Of course, there's not a newspa-
per in the land which would whiting
ly distress you; but every one, Re-
publican, Democrat, free trader or
protectionist, is happy in your hap
piness, and just can't refrain from
telling you about it. Bear with US.

The new Georgia liquor law just
completed by the legislature of that
state will go into effect on May 1st,
1916. and will prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale of any beverage con.
tanning more than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol. The anti-shipping
feature of the law prohibits person
from receiving more than two quarts
of whisky, one gallon of wine or As
quarts of beer each month. This is
claimed will eliminate the locker
clubs and the so-called near-beer sa-
looms. Another measure prohibits
advertising liquor in any manner in
newspapers or periodicals, on bill
boards or by circular. If circulars
advertising liquor in Georgia are
sent out to the extent they are in
Florida this provision of the law will
cut a big slice out of Uncle Sans
postal revenue.

mother married q man VINO resided in
Missouri and went to that state to re-
side. ..s, .- g..
Teh family which had adopted Mrs.
Brewer and her brother also moved
away, and all trace was lost. Six
daughters were born or the second mar
riage, and the mother often told the
children of the little son and daughter
whom she had been, obliged to part
with in their infancy.
Mrs. Pierce, whose home Is in Oma-
ha, visited Gregory county last week
with her husband. who Is interested
in real estate in that county, and there
learned that her sister lived in Winner.
She took the next train for this city
and joyous reunion followed.

result Of injuries received in an auto
mobile accident, Bert Carlson, a Sioux
Falls man, is dead. G. o. Durham, who

This was the result Of an automo-

ing into a trolley wire guy pole in the
southern section of the residence dis
trict. Both were injured internally

mobile struck the pole was sufficient
to break the 12-inch pole squarely off!
Durham was thrown through the
wind shield to the pavement, and Carl%
son was pinned against the steering
wheel with such force that he was
seriously injured internally. One Of
Dunham's ears was nearly cut off.

matte picture Of two saddened homes

trial OF James Schmidt, transient
hobo, charged with the murder OF Ross
G. Farrar, a Northwestern brakeman.
Mrs. Bertha Farrar, widow or the

from her home at Cakes, N. D., in a
special train In an effort to reach her
dying husband, a pretty young woman

Measure Intended to Protect
Citizens Against Non-Citi-
zens demonstrations
al, Court Holds.
HUGHES RENDERS OPINION
Justice McReynolds Holds
Dissenting View-Verdict
May Set Precedent in
California Case.

Washington, d. C.. Nov. 2.--The Arr
roma anti-alien labor law was today
declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court Of the United States.
The supreme courts decision aftirms
the decision of special circuit court
which also held the law unconstitu-
tional Much attention was attracted
to the case because several foreign
governments had protested against the
law and because Of its similarity %
the land legislation in California, which
restricts the ownership OF real estate
by Japanese.
While not exactly like the California
situation, many lawyers have looked
forward to the Arizona decision Tor
what indications II might give OF what
view the highest court might take or
the California law IL it ever got into lit
igation.
An Initiated Law.
The Arizona law was enacted by the
initiative vote OF the people OF Arizona,
and made IL unlawful for any employer
of more than i've persons to employ
less than so per cent qualified, electors
or citizens OF the United States. the
case passed on by the court was one
in which an Austrian waiter I'm Bis
bee, Ariz:, sought to enjoin his en-
ployer and the state from enforcing
the law as to him. Justice Hughes in
announcing the courts decision said Il
already had been established that
aliens in this country were entitled TO
the equal protection OF laws.
And that means equal laws Tor
aliens and citizens" he added
Discriminatory. Says Hughes.
Justice Hughes declared that the law
was Justly described in the. title as an
act to protect citizens againt nonciti-
zens. He added that that was In con-
fict with that personal guarantee of
liberty accorded alience by the con-
stitution. The law. he said, would ex-
clude aliens from Arizona as aliens
could not live where they could not
work and the result would be that al
though the United States had the pow
err of admitting aliens to the country
the state could keep them out by such
legislation as the Arizona law. He said
1t was no answer to say that some
aliens could be employed, because IL
the state had the power to fix the per-
centage to be permitted to be employed,
II could regulate that percentage with
out restriction. No just reason of
public safety. he said, had been ad-
Vanced to justify the law
Justice McReynolds alone dissented
on the ground that the suit to enjoin
the enforcement of ne law was one
barred by the constitution, because it
was one against the state.

LAWS ON COLLECTING
TAXES EXPLAINED BY
: ATTORNEY GENERAL
Session of 1915 Provided New
System of Personal Taxes
Sheriff Is Given Power.

Pierre, s. d. Nov Attorney Gem
eral Caldwell. in an opinion to various
states attorneys concerning the pay L,
ment OF delinquent taxes, has made a
summary of the situation, including the
1915 statute, which amended old laws
on the subject, says:
ITO summarize the opinion Of this
office regarding the collection OF de-
. linquent personal property taxes: first
all OF the delinquent personal property
taxes for the current year are certified
to the sheriff by the county treasurer
on the 10th day Of November OF each
year, the lists held until the last day or
September OF the year following; sec
ona, none Of the taxes Of the preceding
year are so certified over by the county
treasurer to the sheriff to be collected
unless specially ordered by the board
Of county commissioners; third, after
the return OF the sheriff's list on the
last day Of September, the county trea-
surer should advertise such taxes
against any land upon which same
are a lien, and may use the remedy by
action in the circuit court IL that rem
edy seems most available"
The 1915 act provides a new method
Of collecting delinquent personal PROP
erty taxes. The former powers or dis
tress and sale, vested in the treasurer
under the political code, have been
transferred TO the sheriff with q view
Of giving the sheriff the exclusive
power to enforce the collection OF such
taxes while the list remains In his
hands. It was urged that this method
would expedite collection by making 1t
worth while for the sheriff to give par
tfcular attention to the work. 1t Is, in
fact, intended as q big source of addi-
tional revenue to such officials.
The sheriff Is required to return the
list OF delinquent personal property
taxes on the last day OF September, OF
the next year, together with the state
ment OF the condition OF the list. The
county treasurer then reports to the
board of county commissioners. The
board may order any OF such taxes
placed ION q list OF taxes that cannot
be collected" or may order the county
treasurer to again proceed to collect the
same. 1t then becomes the duty OF
the county treasurer to proceed, further
to collect such taxes. The attorney
general says Of this:
"This language would seem to imply
that the board OF county commission
ers may order any Of the taxes OF the
proceeding year, uncollected, to be
again certified over to the sheriff. In
the absence Of such an order from the
county board delinquent personal prop
erty tsxes Of the proceeding year should
not be certified again to the sheriff"
