ORDINANCE invalid
WATERFOWL ATTEMPT TO REG
ULATE MORALS OF COMMU-
NIFTY COME TO NAUGHT.

Pierre, Aug. 27.-The first city or.
dinance which declares that amy
male person who shall be found as
sociating with females known or re
puted as common courtesans or pros
titutes . . . within the city limits
of Watertown shall be deemed a
'pimp.' and upon conviction shall be
fined in any sum not TO exceed $50,
etc." is entirely unconstitutional, Is
the holding of the supreme court to
day upon an appeal from defendants
of Watertown who appealed the case.
The court says in relation to a city
making such an ordinances:
ITO sustain the validity of the quo
ted portion of the Watertown ordi-
nance would prevent personal effort
on the part of any male to uplift and
ameliorate the condition of fallen
women. Ministers of the gospel, ply
sicians. nurses, welfare workers, all
would be subject to the infamous ap-
~plication contained in the ordinance
and to the pains and penalties of the
ordinance"
The court further declares that
such an ordinance of a city absolute
ly violates the constitutional rights
of personal liberty-and that to in
this particular way attempt to regu-
late an evil, Is in no way compatible
with constitutional rights of all in
d%ividuals.
The case is that Of the city of Wa
tertown VS.. Maurice Christnacht, and
Patsy McAleer, appellants and de
PENDANTS. These defendants had
been by the lower court, adjudged
guilty of association with known
prostitutes and ordered to pay fine.
etc, and the defendant appealed on
the ground of unconstitutionality of
the ordinance, and the court consid-
ers the appeal concerning this ordi-
nance we'll taken, and consequently
~reverses the trial court, being the
municipal court of Watertown, which
had upheld the validity of the ordi-
nance.

OMEWHER IN FRANCE
ON ACTIVE SERVICE WITH THE
AMERICAN EXPEDITION
AIRY FORCES.
July 90. 1917.

July 60
My Dear Father: / received moth
er's letter dated July /, and have al
most learned ii by heart. Mails are
few and far between, but when one
does come in there sure is some ex-
element.
/ wrote you two days before we
sailed, but ii must have been held up
as you thought. There is little | can
write about the life over here. 1t is
awfully hot and we are drilling eight
hours a day. The first few days of
discovered | had muscles that | never
dreamed of before. But now it is not
so bad only that we are ready to hit
the bunk right after supper. If we
have another month of these French
exercises I'll be able to pick up a
piano with one hand.
| certainly would like TO be at the
lake this year. We have a creek
here we can go to, but il isn't any
thing like the old lake, but | think
I'll be there next year.
/ doubt very much If I'll get to see
my cousins. | have not the least
idea where they are; in fact. | don't
know exactly where | am: all know
is that we can hear the big guns
nearly every day.
The papers we get are about d
month old or more, but they sure are
read. from front page to advertise
ments. From what they say the
United States sure does need a shak-
ing up. They only think they are
giving over there. They should see
how the people do over here. A
woman over here sends her husband
to the front and then takes his place
in the roundhouse, i'm the field or in
the foundry. All they have to eat is
a few crusts of black bread and still
they are willing to divide with some
one less fortunate.
Our greatest trouble rel here is
to get American tobacco. ] saw one
fellow the other day pay 20 francs
(about S4) for one pack of Durham.
AS yet | have been unable to find
a way TO send money to the states
from here. III | don't soon find a way
| am going to deposit with the pay
master. He already has three
months pay of mine.
My bunkie Is a fellow who knew
Myrtle Bjornstad last summer in
Sioux Falls. She might be enterest-
ed to hear where he is. His name
is Charles McMaster.
/ can't write you much, but I'll
certainly be able to tell you a lot
when | get back. | can't write very
often. but will write whenever | can.
All of you write when you can. Any
news OF the states OF interest please
put in, for newspapers are seldom
seen. Love to you all.

LOSING DEPOSITS
TRIP BANK IN TROUBLE OVER
DRAFT RESISTING CASE.

Mitchell, Aug. 27.-"The situation
in Trip as regards the strained re-
lations between the socialist resi-
dents of hat part of Hutchinson
county and the United States author
tiles, are growing acute and there are
possibilities that ii may become SUI
~perheated," remarked a Mitchell man
who was in Trip on Tuesday when
Deputy United States Marshal Hickey
arrived from Yankton with warrants
for the arrest of a number of citizens
of hat county, who had not been ar
rested upon the visit of an official
last week.
The United States marshal did not
have to devote any time to hunting
for the men named in the warrants.
because word had been ent from
Sioux Falls that he was coming and
the names of the men for whom he
had warrants had been learned by
the socialist organization at Trip,
which organization sent word to ev-
cry nan named and had him in Trip
when the federal officer arrived.
These men were all taken to Yank-
ton and give a preliminary examin-
alton before United States Commits
sioner White, who bound them v
to the next term of the federal court
in Sioux Falls.
But that is not the worst phase of
this matter. The quarrel is becom-
ing a personal N in Hutchinson
county and has begun to leave its
mark in business circles. l was told
yesterday that 40 per cent of the de-
p~ositors in one of the Trip banks
had withdrawn their deposits from
that bank and placed them in the
other bank, because the man who op-
crates the bank which lost the de-
posits, has expressed himself in favor
of the action of the federal author
tiles in making these arrests. The
bank receiving these deposits expert
enced = 40 per cent increase in busi-
ness in one day. ID. ID. Wipf, of
Parkston, told me of the bank incl
dent.
That there will be more develop
ments in the situation in Hutchinson
county, no one there doubts and
there are people who fear hat the
situation may become SO acute that
violence may be done someone. That
the end is not yet everybody agrees.

missioners of South Dakota today pc
titioned the interstate commerce
commission to put into effect revised
freight rates on grain and grain pro-
ducts from South Dakota points to
Iowa destinations. removing an al
legged discrimination in favor of Min
nesota mills.
Parkston-An additional $50 men
OF this county have been called to APP
pear before the local exemption board
next Monday and Tuesday for exam
nation to fill the required quota OF
116 men from this county. This
makes a total of 1872 called for ex-
animation already.
Canton-The authorities have been
unable to get any race or thieves
who entered the clubhouse of q
railway bridge gang between Canton
and Fairview and escaped with a con
siderable amount in money and a
number of valuables. Some of the
men were robbed of their savings of
many months.
Sioux Falls-The Waterfowl and
Sioux Falls division of the Great
Northern road is making vast inn
provements all along the route. which
those who keep posted on railroad af-
fairs believe means the eventual
shortening of the running time be-
tween this city and Watertown. Two
crews are at work g~raveling and 9TH
erwise improving the roadbed. The
company is preparing TO open large
gravel-pits north of Brandt lake.
Bridgewater-The local board of
education has been advised that Prof.
Chase, who had accepted the office of
superintendent Of the Bridgewater
public schools for the coming year,
has been drawn in the selective draft
and will shoulder a gun in defense of
the country. 1t is feared the board
of education will have difficulty in
securing a new man TO take his place
at the head of the schools here, as
competent educators for such posi-
tons are becoming very scarce.

prairie Is a heavy n this year. the
claim lis made that hay will be both
scarce and high the coming winter.

are offering $50 a month and board
for men to help In the hay field. but
the men cannot be found at that or
even a better price with room. board
and washing as an addition to the
cash wage.
Yankton-A case, the decision of
which may affect much property in
South Dakota came up for trial be-
fore Judge Trip here. but a post
ponement was taken. The case in
wolves the rights of an Indian. Mrs.
Frederick, who alleges that her in
terst in certain property was not
safeguarded by the secretary of the
interior when he gave the four heirs
authority to sell their estate. 1t is
claimed that there are many other
cases of this kind, many of them very
complicated. Owing to the necessity
of calling many witnesses and the
badly tangled evidence concerning
title. Judge Trip continued the case
until November. when il will be tried
at Lake Andes.

were changed.
Examination of the measure as IL
has passed congress leaves no ques-
ton that II conveys powers which, IL
exercised, will rebound TO the public
benefit. At the same time II Is i'm
portant TO remember that the country
this year has a tremendous crop Of
foodstuffs-in the aggregate much more
than Ii needs-and that If this is not
wasted nor manipulated and is wisely
distributed there will be enough for
home use and enormous quantities for
the allies and American troops abroad.
Need Not Be Disappointed.
IL the profits ON distribution are
held down to moderate figures there Is
reason to believe that the two desir-
able results of large shipments abroad
and reasonable prices at home can be
achieved.
That Mr.. Hoover is sincere In his
desire to achieve these two great ends
Is not doubted by those who know him,
despite all the attacks made and the
current tall that the food control
measure will be a disappointment to
the people.
The government, by the strict en-
forcement OF the authorizing pro
visions and by exercising its right CIV

nothing OF other broad powers which
