REGULATIONS FOR
 DISPLAY OF FLAG

Mrs. Orville Rector, an execu- tive of the Municipal Patriotic Society, today issued an appeal to all citizens and business houses to display the national colors. Mrs. Rector stated the organization has taken steps to support Governor Holcomb's request and will hold a patriotic meeting this afternoon.
 Although the organization is not in favor of Governor HOl- combs suggestion that the flag be flown day and night we are taking up his request without suggesting the period the flag should be dis played. Personally we believe that colors should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset. However we are not making this request in view of Governor Hol- combs desire to keep the flag fly ing 24 hours.
 We have noticed in Main street a number of business firms with flag staffs, who do not display flags. It should be the duty of these con- cerns at such time as this to procure banners if they are loyal and patriotic concerns.
 "A number of people do not seem to understand how the flag should be flung to the bI eeze and for their enlightenment it would be we'll to inform them of the following rules:
 When the flag is placed with the stripes in a horizontal position the union should appear in the up- per left hand corner; when sus- pended across the street the union should face the north or east; when the flag is on a staff the blue field is nearest the tip end of the pole.'"

Eskimo Music To
 Be Heard in U. $.

The music from the far-away Ha- waiian Islands was the first distant lands song to take on the nature of craze in this country. Its spread in the last year has proven how quickly it has taken the public's fan cy. Now the music of another dis tant and less known land has made its appearance and bids fair to at tract public favor.
 The recent Steffanson Canadian ex- podition into the Arctic lands has brought Eskimo music to us from Iceland Very carefully did these exIlorers note down the folk songs and chants as they heard them from the lips of this strange, people. and the songs have been accurately tran slated so as to make them compre- hAnsfble to us. This music has now been guaranteed permanent preserva- ton by means of the photograph rec ords which have been made recently.
 The important feature in connec- tion with Eskimo music is that 1t still ilretains it's primitive form and spirit While the folk songs and dances of all Nations have come to us, they have never reached us in their unspoiled and original form. They have all been more or less modernized by the i civilized environment through which they have been handed down from Reneration to generations Long be- fore the songs come to our notice they are greatly altered and often mutilat- ed. Seldom is it possible to secure folk music in it's original form un- touched by modern progress.
 Only once before have we been i, fortunate enough to know a races 1 ur1sic in the very form in which it originated, and that was in the case of American Indian music, gathered together by member of the Smith sonfan Institute,
 And now primitive Eskimo music has boon recorded and will stay with us exactly in the form of the natural rythms and melodies in which the un- tutored Eslximos made them up.
 The discovery of the music of the Hand of the Midnight Sun" empha- sdxes the interesting fact that no mat tor how small. sparsely populated.
 crude and primitive land is. it has its own individual form of musical ex- pression- .Far away as Iceland is from all forms of civilization. difficult as existence is in this frigid zone, where there are six months of daylight and six months of darkness, music has a part in the life of it's people. 2 Certain 1t Is that there is music in ev- cry breast and that it is bound to ex- press itself in one form or another. Where there is life there you will find music.

DECISION BY
M'LOUGHLIN
READY SOON
Result Of Preliminary Hear.
ing Will be Known
Early Thursday.

Either late today or tomorrow aft
ernoon Judge Phil Mclaughlin will
announce his decision regarding the
further disposition OF the East Grand
Forks brewery and McInerny case.
and on Friday Of this week the re-
manning 46 charges against Mr.. NC
Inerny will be heard in preliminary
PROCEEDINGS. There was a total of At
counts, and only one, that Of con-
spiracy, has been temporarily dispos-
ed OF to date.
The arguments in the preliminary
hearing were finished yesterday by
Assistant Attorneys General H. a.
Bronson and D. v. Brennan for the
state and Geo. A. Bangs for the de-
PENDANTS.
Mr. Bronson said. in part. as fol-
lows:
The Contract System.
"The basis Of the contract system
which has been used by the brewery,
is the old grist mill method. In
theory, the system may be all right as
long as it is kept within the legal
sphere Of operations, but, In this par
stve, were merely q subterfuge. Coun-
sci has not read In law to your hon
or upon this subject, he has quoted
no authority, and, consequently, he
has not told your honor that the grist
mill theory is full of holes. The tes-
timony submitted here proves conclu-
sively that Mr.. McInerny was a seller
Of beer, not an agent. He purchased
the material used in the manufacture
Of beer, from himself although it Is
pretended that he had a lease with the
brewery company:
The claim Of MI. Bangs that a con-
tract holder may assign his beer to
whomsoever is fatty contradicted. by
the wording of the very contract itself.
The contract also s%tipulates that IS
must be paid when the signature OF
the holder is affixed, and yet no one
among the thirty-four witnesses exam
ined here has testified that he ever
paid such money.
1--WE have shown that the defend
ants have reaped vast profits from
their business. They have become af-
fluent and prosperous because they
sold beer: The majesty Of the law
gets them, nevertheless. We, do, not
consider the laws of this state semi
b~arbarous. We are living in a state
where the ideals, as expressed in the
laws; are as high and as pure as any
where in these United States, and the
righfs5of the citizens are fully protect
ed sThe11aws are alike for the poor
man and-t rich, and this case serves
tos bring out this fact. It has often
beefi4said that the law gets the small
fry first, but here we have had an OPP
portuntty to establish the fact that the
