BONE Dry
LAW in STATE
SAYS ROBINSON
adge Of Supreme Court
Il Takes Stand in His
Saturday Letter"
Bht it Wouldn't be Well to
Take a Chance on the
Strength Of It.

Bismarck, N. D., July 2s.-North
Dakota has no bone dry law. Justice
Names e. Robinson. the most vener-
aAble member Of the supreme court
3and who last fall proved the Nom
partisan league pacemaker for Lynn
-. Frazier, is authority for this state
Ifnent.
In his famous Saturday Evening
Letter released today, Justice Robin
says: "I see nothing in the bone
dry law to prevent any person from
Honestly importing liquor for his own
use. He has a perfect right to carry
III into the state and to hire any per-
son to carry It for him. When fairly
understood, the act does not forbid
the importation Of liquor by any per-
son for his own use. It forbtds only
importation for Illegal purposes, and
the act of congress forbids importa-
stion only when 1t is contrary to the
laws Of the state While congress has
power to regulate commerce, it has no
constitutional right to destroy or put
an embargo on commerce between
the different states. BY our state %
%stitution every person is guaranteed
the right for his W use to import,
acquire and protect property. He has
also the right to pursue and obtain
asafety and happiness. Hence, this
Scannot be made a crime by the most
cunning use Of words or by any leg
Sislative device" &
After discussing various features of
the 'so-called Bone Dry law which
became effective July 1, whose last
section he declares wholly void and
the penalties imposed grossly excess
sive, the Justice concludes with the
following statement:
Certain 1t is that any Judge sus-
tanning such a statute or such a pro-
4ceeding. should be compelled to work
or the streets and to eat grass like an
OK" &
Justice Robinson reads North Da-
kota out Of the prohibition ranks on
the grounds that the Bone Dry act
does not forbid importation Of liquor
for personal use, but merely places
the ban. on liquor imported to be used
in violation of law.
The %concensus Of opinion locally is
that the Justice is barking up the
wrong tree. North Dakota passed two
bone dry acts at the last session of
legislature. Justice Robinson disposea
of one Of them, introduced as Senate
Bill @85, and referring more particular
to the transportation of intoxicants,
but he has not settled House Bill 80,
introduced by Representative Bowman
and which is referred to when The
bone dry law Is under consideration.

they are law abiding until then the
men had convinced the department
OF justice that their failure to register
on July 4 was due TO genuine mis-
understanding.
Together with about twenty slack
ers out on bond, the cases of the men
held in the st. Louis county jail are
practically completed. About forty
Firms and twenty Austrians have now
been sentenced. Thirty one more
Finnish prisoners were brought In to-
day from Two Harbors.
Deputies left this afternoon for the
Twin Cities with sixteen prisoners
who have been committed to the
Hennepin and Ramsey county jails.
Deputies will leave with the remand
er Of the men tomorrow for jails in
Polk and Otter Tail counties.
