important Liquor Decision.

Most Maine papers would refuse ad-
vertising for any sort of Intoxicating
beverages. few Maine papers would
welcome The means of raising revenue
and of encouraging violation of the
prohibitory law. But Maine papers
are prohibited by law from carrying
such advertising.
Right here IS where United States
laws and state laws conflict Maine can
prevent the papers Of the State from
advertising an article the sale or
manufacture of which Is prohibited
within her borders. But the people of
Maine have believed that they @ero
helpless before the interstate COM

magazines published beyond the Dor

circulate here With al! the booze ad-

ruled otherwise. saying:

freight, upon the breaking of the

FORFEITED RIGHTS BY
LEAVING RESERVE
Quarterblood Indian Woman and
Her Children Lose Federal
Action for Land.

Butte, Mont, Dec. 13-Because Mrs.
Maggie Doolittle and her eight chill
dren chose to live away from Fort AS.
sinniboine Indian reservation, and
adopted civilized customs ;;.ld depart
ed from the ways Of their Indian an
cestors, they .lave lost their tribal
rights, and their evolutionary advance
has proved a material retrogression.
Judge George NJ. Bourquin has found
for the government in the case where
in the Doolittles were plaintiffs, in
volving 2,720 acres of land on Fort AS.
sinniboine reservation. Mrs. Doolittle
is a quarter blood Assinniboine and
.ler: children are eighth bloods. They
claimed to be entitled to the land as
members of the community of ASSN
niboines. -. e,
The court decided against them OF
the ground that they had abandoned
their tribal relations and forfeited
taeir tribal rights by leaving the res
ervation and living elsewhere.
The decision is farreaching, as it
affects not only the Doolittles, but
shuts out from having rights in tribal
lands about 200 other persons, Indians
or mixed bloods, who are in the same
position.
