The Russians at various points, ne

all of them were repulsed, except In
the Trial swamp, where they succeed

the capture of numerous prisoners and

Dickinson, N. D., January 2, 1917.
To the Sheriff and Deputies, To the
Constables and to all City and Vii
lage Police Officers Of Stark
County.
Gentlemen:
This being the commencement of
your official term I desire to call your
attention to the law passed at the
and which is as follows:
1T shall be the duty of the states
attorney, assistant states attorney,
sheriff, deputy sheriff, constable,
marshal, or police officer of any
county, township, city, village, or

having any evidence, knowledge or
notice of any violation Of the prohi-
bition, pure liquor, gambling, cigar
cite, snuff, pool hall, bawdy house,
prostitution, white slave or habit
forming drug laws of North Dakota
to diligently investigate the same and
seek evidence of such violation and
the names of witnesses by whom such
violation may be proved, and in case
of said peace officers to report the
same to the states attorney of the
county in which such violation occurs
and give him every assistance in the
prosecution of the v~iolators Of said
laws"
The idea which has sometimes been
indulged in by peace officers in the
past that they r not supposed to
act as detectives I consider obsolete
and that their duties are as the law
requires and the people demand; that

PROCLAMATION FOR
APPRECIATION WEEK

Governor Frazier issued the follow
ing proclamation a few days after
taking the oath of office, for appreci-
alton week.
"The boundless of the
great state of North Dakota are
little understood in the states east,
west and south Of us, and for that
reason there has been inaugurated
what has been termed Appreciation
week; a week set apart for the pur-
pose of letting the people of other
states know about these great re-
sources. We want everyone to know
about our excellent school system, our
unexcelled agricultural land, our in
vigorating climate, our progressive
ness, our wonderful wealth in coal and
clay and the increased interest of the
people in the livestock industry.
1.-The setting apart of one week is
g. most appropriate way for us to
express u appreciation of the adj
vantages of u state. We are on
the threshold of greater things, and
we want our neighbors to know
about it. We are a hospitable people;
we will welcome all home seekers

will assist in making our common
wealth the most progressive among
the agricultural states of this great
nation.
wherefore, I, Lynn j. Frazier, gov
ernor Of North Dakota, do hereby
proclaim the week of January 21-27,
1917, as Appreciation week in the
state Of North Dakota. And let us
make a special effort in our CORE
spondence with friends in other
states to impart to them that higher
spirit Of optimism so characteristic
of the true North Dakotan.

SUNDAY LID ORDERED
ON AT BISMARCK; THEN
OFF AGAIN BY JUDGE

The lid was slammed down so tight
at Bismarck last Sunday that it seems
that it will become broken all to
pieces. Attorney General LANCER
gave notice the latter part Of last
week that every place of business, no
matter of what nature, should observe
the Sunday closing law. The Bur-
leigh county states attorney in turn
gave orders to the chief of police, and
he to drug stores, ice e parlors,
the city. Saturday at midnight the
lid went down, and at 1901 a. m. Sun
day is was impossible to buy a cigar
for Glove or money"
The "blue laws" continued serenely
in force until Sunday morning when
Justice J. E. Robinson of the Supreme
Court made a request at the news
stand for his favorite Sunday paper.
When the situation was explained to
him he made a dash for the telephone,
almost tearing the instrument from
the wall, and called Chief. of Police
Downing. The justice mode a demand
that the closing order be revoked.
Chief Downing demurred, however,
saying that he had orders from the
states attorney and the attorney gen.
eral.
"But I am the supreme court
outrank both of these men, and I com-
mand you to direct these business
places to open, as I have instructed"
roared the chief justice.
The chief remained unmoved, and
then Justice Robinson bounced upon
a desk and a sheet of hotel stationery
and issued the following written or
der:
"Supreme Court, State of North
Dakota. To the Sheriff and Police of
the City of Bismarck: You are here
by directed to allow all business
places and drug stores, news stands to
remain open in the usual manner as
on other Sundays. (Signed) James
E. Robinson, Judge of the Supreme
Court"
After finishing the written order
the venerable judge said: "This is a
terrible situation-an outrage. 1t
should not be tolerated another NOM
ent. The law is no good-it is an
outrage-it is ridiculous"
The chief of police declined to fol-
low the order, and as a result all
places with the exception of the
Grand Pacific news stand remained
closed. N. G. Nelson, proprietor Of
the news stand, reopened for business,
but orders were given to place him
under arrest.
The Dickinson press., 1917-01-13

such officers should be diligent in the
investigating of law violations, and
the searching and reporting of evil
dence of the same; that a violation of
the law committed in your presence
should be acted upon promptly by you
and such offenders arrested, and that
you should constantly watch for law
violation; and that all of these should
be reported promptly and definitely to
this office.
Wishing you success and trusting
that the work of the peace officers
OF the county will be carried on for
its best interest, and assuring you
that l will be very glad to assist you
in every way possible in your work,
I am.
Very truly yours,
