Harris of Kelliher, hotel proprietor
% was late yesterday afternoon found
not guilty by jury in the United
States district court on a charge of
introduction of liquor into Kelliher,
which is in the Indian lid" dis
trict.
Out Five Hours.
The jury was out five hours, the
first ballot being seven to five for
acquittal.
The trial began Monday after sew
eral continuances.
A former conductor on a. railroad
testified during the trial that Gov
eminent Agent Brandt had promised
to help him get back his position
with the railroad if he testified for
the government
Jennings Missing.
He said that Harris had asked him
for shipment addressed to a man
by the name of Jennings. Harris
denied this statement Jennings has
not been found and the government
tried to make a mystery of his dis
appearance but failed to convince the
jury of crookedness.
Failure to prove Harris anything
more than a guarantor of jennings
account for the liquor led to Harris
acquittal.
In Lid" District.
Judge Page Morris ruled that KEEL
liner is in the Indian lid" district.
Harris was arrested April 80, 1915,
on complaint issued by J. M.
Dickey,~ assistant United States at
torney, charging him with intro
ducing Is gallons of whisky into In
dian treaty territory at Kelliher. He
appeared before Judge H. A. Simons,
United States commissioner, in this
city, entered plea of not guilty and
demanded a hearing which was set
for May II, 1915.
Case Continued.
At the May term of federal court
which convened at Fergus Falls the
grand jury returned an indictment
against him. BY the consent of all
parties the case was continued to the
fall term of court. On Nov 9, 1915,
at the court term the case was trans
ferred to the January term which
met at Duluth on January II.
Trial Monday.
Owing to the absence of the in
dictment which had not been sent
from Fergus Falls the case was con-
tinued from January IL to January
II at which time the jury was chosen
and the case set for trial.
Attorneys A. A. Andrews and H
Funkley of Bemidji defended Harris
The case against Mrs. Nora Ted
ford of Cass Lake for the introduc
ton of liquor was dismissed.

"A Fools Paradise"

That Is the expressive term applied
by Charles f. Hughes in his speech OF
acceptance. to the present condition in
this country which the democratic
leaders and newspapers describe as
prosperity" consequent upon dem
ocratic national administration. We do
not think the dullest American will be
deceived or that any one can believe
that what appears to be prosperity is
really prosperity. II is plainly and
wholly a result of the European war
and it is not such general and wide
spread prosperity as was generally ex-
pected to result to us from the war.
No one contemplated that there
would be such a demand upon thia
country for the munitions Of war We
supposed that the warning nations.
with the possible exception of Russia,
from the beginning would furnish
their own ammunition and guns. We
had no idea of the apathy and the in
dustrial situation that was to tie up
the factories Of Great Britain the first
year Of the war. We believed that the
French factories were capable of sup
plying the French armies. We expect
ed though. to sell to Europe more OF
the products of our farms and factories
where implements of peace were made.
But Europe has demanded a much
smaller volume of such commodities
Europe chose to curtail the demand fol-
food supplies so that the uade centered
in the munition factories, and her chief
purchases from us have been of those
things used directly or indirectly ir
warfare AS soon as this trade de.
veloped we all knew 1t would fall away
with the end OF the war
Its benefits have not been wide
spread. II has been confined to thu
manufacturing centers and to those To-
calities which produce raw materials
used in those centers. There is not IL
all the United States a locality, no
contributing In some way to the manu-

facture of munitions of war or war
supplies that has felt this prosperity.
The many thousands of working men
employed are receiving higher wages
than ever before, but they know that
their employment will end with the
war. We have seen letter from a
working man in Massachusetts to a
brother in Phoenix making inquiry re-
gardng employment here. He wrote
that while he was receiving better
wages than had ever before been paid
him, he realized that the end would
come in a year at the farthest and
many thousands would be out of en-
ployment.
1t is said that more money is now
being spent in pleasure in New York
City than ever before. But the chief
spenders are those who are over
whelmed by war profits or made rich
by the sudden rise of munition factory
stocks That is not prosperity such as
the country needs Nor are the state
ments of the department of commerce
showing a greater volume of exports
than we have had before, signs of pros
perity that does the country any good.
We see in the distance the rising
shadow of the commercial invasion
when the highly organized armies of
Europe shall be suddenly transformed
into equally highly organized armies of
production as feverish to capture our
markets as they are now TO capture
enemy trenches And we are not en-
trenched at all. The democratic admin
istration has thrown down our defen-
sive works and substituted for them
the flimsy Underwood law If this ad-
ministration should be continued
peace in Europe will sweep aside
American prosperity" in the twinkling
OF an eye and substitute for it such a
period of depression and panic as this
country has never experienced.
