LAWLESSNESS PROPERLY SCORED

Judge Leighton did not mince matters in his deci-
sion In the case growing out Of the LANCER raid at Minot,
LANCER and his aides in taking forcible possession Of the
telephone exchange as a felony. Mr.. LANCER may put
that in his pipe and smoke 1t.
Whatever facts might have developed as to the
legality of the acts Of others in the case, and even IL it
had been shown that Judge Palda had acted in an un-
warranted manner in threatening the invaders Of his
clients premises with forcible election, there has never
been any doubt. or any room for doubt that Attorney
General LANCER acted in a lawless and high-handed man
ner, disgraceful to the state and to the Office which he
holds.
LANCER in coming to the aid Of the local authorities to
root out blind pigs and other places where unlawful
practices we're carried on. 1t was the duty Of the local
authorities to use every effort to suppress these nuisances
and bring to Justice those responsible for them. If the
local authorities neglected their duty, or were unable to
perform 1t. it was the plain duty Of the attorney general
to take personal charge Of the work. All that is 90 plain
~ to require no argument, and we are not aware that 1t
has ever been questioned.
But Mr.. LAnssr assumed that in attempting to en-
force the law, or 9 part Of it, he. himself. was superior
to the Law, and was at liberty to proceed, not in accord
ance with the plain mandate Of the law. but in accord
ance with his own notion Of what was the most conven-
lent way to proceed. Hence the spectacular and melo-
dramatic raid in which the attorney general Of the state
and three deputies descended upon the telephone Office,
charged manfully on a bevy Of girls and drove them into
pity LANCER had not provided q moving picture OUTFIT to
accompany him and hlm the raid. What a thriller that
picture would have made. Or would 1t have done duty
as a comic?
William LANCER Is attorney general Of North Dakota
As such an onicial he is charged with the, performance
Of certain duties, and the manner in which he shall per-
form those duties is carefully and distinctly specified in
the statutes. But II he enters the home or the place Of
business Of any citizen or any group Of citizens, without
warrant lawfully issued upon proper complaint having
been. made. he may with perfect legality be kicked out.
That is the opinion which The Herald expressed
shortly after the raid. 1t is abundantly sustained by the
decision Of Judge Leighton.

RAID BY AIRCRAFT
ON TURKISH FLEET

London, July 11.-An air raid on the
enemy fleet off Constantinople was an
nounced in statement of the British
war office today. Bombs were dropped
on the Turkish cruizer Ywuz Sultan
Selim, formerly the German cruiser
Goeben. The extent of the damage to
the vessel is not given. The war office
at Constantinople also was attacked
and a direct hit was attained by the
British, who returned without casual
ties.
The announcement reads: "a report
has been received from the vice ad-
mlral in the eastern Mediterranean
that on the night of Monday a success
full attack was carried out by the
royal naval air service against the
Turkish-German fleet lying off Con,
stantinople in the Golden Horn. When
the Goeben, surrounded by warships
Including submarines, had been To-
Gated, an attack was made from a
height of 800 feet. Direct hits were
obtained on the Goeben and on other
enemy ships near her. Big explosions
took place on board them and several
fires were observed.
"The war Office also was attacked
and direct hit was obtained. The
enemy appeared to have been COM
pletely surprised, rs until the bombs
had been dropped no anti-aircraft bat
teries opened fire. Our force returned
safely without any casualties"
According to brief telegraphic ac-
counts of the bombing operation at
Constantinople the attack was one of
the most successful of the kind during
the war.
The British aviators confined them
selves strictly to military objectives.
The airplanes were over the city near
ly a half hour carefully picking out
their marks and descending to an al
titude of less than 300 yards for re-
lease of bombs.
The Goeben, which recently has
been annoyingly active against the
Russians, was the centre of the attack,
with an entirely satisfactory result,
and it is safe to presume she will be
out Of action for several months.
The war Office, situated on hill,
was also an easy target.
Among the damaged enemy ships
was converted liner which was used
as the headquarters of the German
staff.

beloved sister, Lima Kelly, from life
to death, June 9th, 1917, Be it There
fore Resolved:
First. That we, the members of the
Wesley Adult Bible class of the Beth

early in life, yet we know that our
loss is her eternal gain;
Third. Yes, she is gone, no more
will she be seen in our midst In
life we loved her and in death it is
natural that we should mourn for her;

A TOAST TO THE FLAG.

Here's to the Red Of it
There's not thread of it,
No, nor a shred of it
In all the spread of it
From foot to head.
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it Red.
Here's to the White of it
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it,
But feels the might of it, u
Through day and night?
Womanhood's care for it,
Make manhood dare for it;
Purity's pray'r for it
Kept it so White.
Here's to the Blue of it
Heavenly view of it,
Star-spangled hue of it,
Honesty's use of it,
Constant and true.
Here's to the whole Of it,
Stars, stripes and pole of il,
Here's to the soul Of it
Red, White and Blue.
