A new point Of far reaching inn
portanee to temperance legislation
the country over has just been
brought out in the fight to enforce
absolute prohibition in the District
of Columbia. 1t is claiming the in
terest Of both friends and foes Of the
bill. By reason of it, the Sheppard
prohibition bill. already favorably
reported to the Senate, is being held
up until the point can be cleared up.
Discovery has been made that the
bill-water-ught or rather alcohol
proof as its friends characterize it
strikes at one Of the few large
manufacturing companies OF Wash

APPROPRIATION
STAYS IN BILL
Dormitory for Bismarck Indian
School Appears a Ger.
tainty.

A dormitory for the Bismarck Unit
ed States Indian school which will
double the capacity of that institu'
ton, now seems to be certainty.
The Commercial club yesterday re-
ceived the following letter from SEN
ator AISLE j. Gronna, with whom the
matter was taken up by the local Or
ganization after the bill carrying an
appropriation for the dormitory had
passed the house:
Your telegram of even date, urg-
ing support OF an appropriation OF
$50, 10000 for new dormitory at the
Bismarck Indian school has just been
received.
Il am pleased to be able to inform
you that the committee on Indian al
fairs of the senate has agreed 10 in
corporate this item in the Indian ap-
preparation bill
1t is expected that the appropria-
ton will be available in time to per-
mi. the beginning OF work on the
new building by late spring, and that
the dormitory will be ready for use
when the first semester opens next
fall. There are now ninety-eight stu
dents at the Bismarck school. and
with the addition OF the dormitory
this number can be increased to 200.

The owners of the factory declare
not a gallon OF the alcohol they make
from the yeast waste goes into the
manufacture of intoxicating liquor
and that the most scrupulous safe
guards are adopted to prevent any
but commercial utilization OF the by
product. The industry employs more
than two hundred workmen. many Of
whom. the company declares, will be
dismissed if the prohibition bill goes
through as it now stands.
Those for and those against pro-
hibition regard the new development
as of important national significance
since industries in different parts Of
the country may be affected by
similar prohibition law. The Shop
pard bill is, therefore. regarded as
test case and as a guide to national
prohibition legislation.

ATTORNEY MILLER
To WASHINGTON
Former Attorney General Will
Represent State Before U. S.
Supreme Court.

Former Attorney General Andrew
Miller leaves today for Washington,
D. c.. where ne will represent the
state before the United States SUI
preme court in the action commenced
some time ago against Armour & Co.,
the Chicago packing house.
The action was started TO compel
the packing company to put full
weight of lard in containers, sold in
this state. Lard is usually sold in
3, ), 10 and 20-pound pals. but in
every instance the actual weight of
lard contained is short of the stated
amount A five-pound pail. or rather,
what is commonly called a five-pound
pail. contains slightly over four
pounds Of lard. and short weight in
practically the same ratio holds true
in all cases. The gross weight O.!
cCntainer and contents will come to
about five pounds, and the contention
OF the state is that five full pounds OF
lard should be contained in what is
termed a fve-pound pail etc.
The state was upheld by the dis
trict court OF Cass county when the
dCtlOU NdS SldTleu luSIe dIu ldteI w
the North Dakota supreme court. and
is now being carried to the highest
tribunal by the packing company.
Other Cases Pending.
There are several important state
cases before the United States SUI.
preme court at the present time. The
action against the Wyman-Burton
company. for the alleged sale OF snuff.
will be heard next fall.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
OPPOSES STATEWIDE
PROHIBITION, He SAYS

Baltimore. Feb. 25.-A1though a
strong advocate of temperance and
believer in local option where it is
wanted. Cardinal Gibbons denounced
in strong terms the proposed state
wide prohibition. bill now pending in
the general assembly. He gave vent
TO his feelings and spoke freely when
a delegation of representative Dusi-
nessmen OF the city in no way affili.
ated with the liquor traffic called up
on him.
Here is what Cardinal Gibbons had
TO say on the question:
Cardinals Views.
4 am strongly opposed to any
statewide prohibition bill being pass.
ed by the legislature because I be-
lieve that such law is impossible
OF enforcement in city the size OF
Baltimore and its environs.
Such being the case, law of this
kind interferes with personal liberty
and rights and creates hypocrisy in
the people
0eprives State Of Revenue.
The story of the world down TO
the present time demonstrates the
fact that people always have and al
ways will indulge in the use of in
toxicatiag liquors. Further. | am op-
posed to the passage of such law,
because it would deprive the state of
a large revenue without accomplish
ing results. and that, too, at time
when both the city and state are
very much in need of revenue pro-
duced
Favors Temperance.
However. am heartily in favor
of temperance and whenever it is,
my pleasure to confirm class of boys
l always exact from them a pledge
to abstain from the use of intoxicat-
ing liquors until they become of age.
/ am also a believer in local option
and whenever the majority of the
citizens of county or any portion
of state want to vote on the ques-
ton OF local option their wishes
should be gratified.
Il do not hesitate to say that con-
tributed in no small measure to the
suppression of the sale of intoxicants
in St Mary's county In this case I
was satisfied that the local circum-
stances demanded it.

FINE DISTINCTIONS.

Much of the controversy over the
rights of Americans to travel on arm.
ed merchantmen impresses the aver
age citizen as mere Quibbling. but it
is kind OF drifting that might end
disastrously.
The Wilson administration won its
point as far as unarmed merchantmen
are concerned 1t proposes now to
stretch the contention to cover arm.
ed craft. Armed for defensive and
armed for offensive purposes is the
fine distinction that is raised Under
obsolete international laws crafts
armed for defensive purposes must
first be given notice of attack
Why does the Wilson administra.
ton take such a vigorous stand on
this distinction while it is silent be-
fore the infractions of England's trade
embargo?
President Wilson has only to refer
to precedent and international law
to lift the embargo England imposes,
not only upon belligerent,- but also
upon neutral ports. He refuses to
apply the same strict construction of
international law to England that he
does to Germany. 1t is this position
that threatens the peace and vel.
fare OF the nation.
Neutrals have no place on armed
craft, whether guns are there for de-
fensive or offensive purposes. Eng
land. it will be remembered, in the
Russian-Japanese war prohibited
British subjects to travel upon any
ship of the belligerents, whether
armed or not. Sweden has warned
its subjects of armed craft. United
States will not sacrifice any part of
national honor in taking the same
step.
1t is fundamental principle of in
ternational law that if the reason for
the law ceases to exist, the law itself
falls, is Ineffective. obsolete and no
longer applies.
The Necessity for armed merchant
men has passed. Belligerents arm
their merchantmen to destroy sub
marine craft. Our state department
can afford to take practical view
of the situation.
Tolerance of England's arrogant
trade embargo is reproach Jeffer.
son, the first great democrat. refused
to be a party to such a trade blockade
and sent q note that left no room for
dickering or quibbling. Wilson should
follow the precedents set by Jeffer-
son. He might well study the advice
of Washington upon mixing in the
quarrels of belligerents.

are violated By both bel
lieerents daily. Is it the function of
the state department to punish each
