FORESTRY NORMAL NEWS

In order that all season ticket hold
ers may not fail to get this informa-
ton, it is repeated this week that Mr..
Flowers has been obliged to cancel his
engagement here and that the Annual
School Play will be given as the
fourth, number Of the course. In this
way, as was done last year, season
ticket holders will be spared the nec-
essity Of purchasing tickets for the
Play.
At assembly exercises Monday this
week Miss Ruth Fortney of the high
school faculty entertained the school
with a number of very enjoyable pi-
ano selections.
The first ANNUAL Forestry Normal
interscholastic track and field meet
was held at the Fair Grounds last
year. 1t was so successful that it is
likely good many schools will make
entries this spring and the second an
nual meet will be held. A letter has
been sent to twenty schools in this
part Of the state inviting them to par
ticipate and requesting an expression
Of opinion as to whether they would
do so. While it is a hard year from q
financial point Of view, it is desirable
that all worthy forms Of educational
effort go forward without abatement
so far as possible. There is much to
be said about the value Of track and
field sports. The date set is May IA.
The Board of Administration expect
to spend day or two in Bottineau
this week. Among the important mat
ters to be settled at this meeting II
the question whether there will be .
summer term here this year.

THE SCOT

One of the finest Literary treats
presented in long time to a Botti-
neau audience was the lecture last
Monday evening at the Grand Theatre
given under the auspices Of the Bot
tineau County Caledonian Society by
Rev. Father Eagleston of Westhope,
N. D.
Father Eagleston is an eloquent and
pleasing speaker and the way in which
he handled his subject showed deep
knowledge and appreciation of the his
tory, literature and characteristics of
the Scottish people. The splendid les
sons he drew from the love of learn
ing, patriotism. thrift and reverence
for things religious Of his forefothers
of the race were good to hear-espec-
tally good for those of the younger
generation present, while his flashes
of Celtic wit and humor gave the right
touch of variety and charm to the
theme.
AS in a panorama there passed be-
fore the audience John Knox and his
public schools, scientists and states
men; the martyred Mary Stuart,
queen of every Scottish heart, Scot,
Burns, Stevenson and host of other
worthless of the Homeland; Alexander
Hamilton of the Colonies, the Scot
who gave us our Constitution and the
noble Scottish exiles Of the Carolina's
to whose grand stand for the right we
greatly owe the glorious outcome Of
our American Revolution.
At the close Of his splendid address
Father Eagleston made touching ap-
peal to every true American for the
right interest in Scottish and Irish
liberty, with hope added that the
day was not far distant when Scotia
and Erin would clasp hands across
the water in an eternal Celtic friend
ship.
I The Caledonians may congratulate
themselves that they were able to Sc
cure Father Eagleston for this ad-
dress, which was truly American in
spirit and are hoping that he may be
prevailed upon to give the same in
other cities.-Co Contributed.

"The Legislature, realizing this con-
dition, provided in Section Z of H. B.
No. 212 that any treasurer of a public
corporation who deposits public funds
in any state or national bank in OK
cess Of the bond furnished, or in ex-
cess of $4,000 without such bond,
shall be prosecuted criminally for
such act.
"While it is true that we have a law
in this state, guaranteeing deposits in
state banks, such law has recently
been subjected to such a severe strain
that it will doubtless be some time
before deposits in closed banks will
be repaid.
"Until good and sufficient bonds are
furnished by private banks, the only
absolutely safe place for public funds
is in the Bank of North Dakota.
I'VE enclose you a form Of bond
herewith which meets our approval,
and in the event you elect to deposit
your public funds in private banks
instead of the Bank of North Dakota
we trust you will see that such bonds
are properly executed and that the
sureties thereon are ample.
every respectfully,
"William Lemke,
attorney General"
In recent ruling Judge Burr of
Rugby held that all laws governing
the deposit of public funds were re-
pealed with the enacting of the law
establishing the Bank of North Dako-
ia and no change was made by the
initiated law governing deposits of
public funds passed in the referendum
last November. Judge Burr's opinion
set at rest the belief of some that
the partial repeal of the power of the
Bank of North Dakota, as sole depos-
itory of public funds, had revived
some Of the statutes formerly on the
books. The initiated law itself failed
to make any provision whatsoever as
to such deposits.
In Rolette county there recently
arose a division of opinion between
county treasurer J. O. Stadheim and
the Board of Commissioners. The
commissioners in a mandamus action
sought to compel the treasurer to
withdraw the public funds from the
Bank of North Dakota and redeposit
them in various banks, which they
had named, within the county. States
Attorney J. A.. Stormon upheld the
treasurer in his contention also hold
ing that no bond was required from
the Bank of North Dakota to protect
the county's deposit.
These opinions will place in some
what difficult predicament several
treasurers here and there within the
state who have placed public funds in
their charge in banks which have since
closed their doors without first requir-
ing those banks to furnish bond
guaranteeing the deposits. They now
find themselves personally liable.

LOUIS VOLBRECHT

I'm the midst of life we are in
death" Hardly ever has the truth of
these words been brought home so
forcibly to the people of Kramer as
when on the waning Saturday after
noon of March IL, strong men told
with trembling voices the sad news;
Louis Volbrecht is dead. In the morn
ing he bade farewell to~wife and
li.t.. ., 81 Intending to be home again
Sae4r as Gods will that
: YER enter that home
again. w.~ hardly a quarter Of
a mile from home he fell from a load
Of grain and was there found by his
wife, who,' seeing the team come into
the yard without driver, ran out to
assist him. In her arms he breathed
his last.
Louis Volbrecht was born in Mani
towuk, Wis.,, March 21, 1876. There
he received his early training. He
came to this state with the early Wis
consin emigrants that settled this part
of the prairie of Bottineau county.
Entering the partnership for life with
Miss Amalia Kaeding, 1900, he es-
tablished the home where he is now
so sadly missed. A home indeed,
where one was always sure of glad
welcome. =.
The quiet and understanding ways
and quiet disposition Of Louis had
attached him a host of friends. The
funeral conducted from the Lutheran
church Of Kramer was perhaps the
largest as well as the most solemn and
impressive in the history of: that
church. Flowers, beautiful and frag-
rant, tokens of regard from the teach
ers Of the Kramer public schools and
the Lutheran Ladies Aid and his
many friends, reminded one of the
words of the poet:
"Why should we tremble to survey,
His body to the tomb!
There the dear flesh Of Jesus lay
And left a long perfume"
Let this hope, however, sustain us
in our sorrow, that, while his body is
resting beneath the cool sod, until the
great resurrection day, his soul has
found favor with his Saviour and his
God.-Contributed.

RETAILERS CLUB ORGANIZES.

Last Thursday evening at the Com
mercial Club rooms the retail mer-
chants of Bottineau met and formed
an organization, the following offic-
ers being elected: President, A. O..
Williams; Vice President, A. S. Nero;
Secretary, H. o. Sheldon; Treasurer,
w. r. Mcintosh. Committees were ap-
pointed to draw up Constitution and
Bylaws, etc.
The retailers club is organized as
an auxiliary of-the Commercial Club
and will in no way interfere with the
good work Of this organization but
will confine it's scope entirely to mat
ters of interest to the retail dealers
Of the city. It is thought that by a
systematic advertising campaign
much new business can be brought to
Bottineau this year and next week we
will be prepared to tell our readers
just how the new organization ex-
poets to go about this.
The next meeting will be held in
the Club rooms next Monday evening.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
ASKS REHEAR|NC

Attorney General Lemke appeared
before the Supreme Court last Thurs
day Afternoon and filed petition for a
re-hearing of the recent decision of
the court holding the Bank of North
Dakta to be private institution SUBJ
Ject to garnishment. The reasons Civ
en- for asking the Court to grant
re-hearing are as follows:
Because the decision is not in con-
formity with the law and Constitution
of the State. 1t is judicial legislation.
1t amends an Act of the Legislature
referred to the people and approved
by thirteen thousand two hundred fif-
ty-four majority. It annuls the con-
stitutional amendment, initiated by
the highest tribunal in this state, the
people themselves-after years of
struggle which authorizes the State
in it's sovereign capacity, and in no
other, to engage in any industry, en-
terprise or business not prohibited by
Article 20 of the Constitution, and
which was adopted by fourteen thous-
and two hundred fifty-six majority.
Because the Court inadvertently
compared the so-called state banks Of
the South, which were created as dis
tinct and separate entities and cor
porations by law, with the law and.
Constitution of our State, which ex-
pressly and distinctly authorized the
State in it's sovereign capacity, and in
no other, to engage in the banking
busiess. In fact, the Constitution of
the State distinctly and expressly pro-
hibits the State of North Dakota
from engaging in the banking busi-
ness in any other but in it's sovereign
capacity of the State.
Because the decision assumes that a
department of the state may be sued
or be subject to suit, depending upon
the nature Of the powers conferred
and liabilities imposed, when the cor
rect rule of law is that officers of
department of state can be restrained
or sued only in their individual capac-
ity and not as officers of state, and
then only when they exceed their au-
thority or act under void statute or
violate some right secured by the
state or federal constitution.
Because the Court failed to consider
Section 5188, Compiled Laws of North
Dakota, 1913, which Section exempts
from attachment and execution all the
banks of the state, and garnishment
is an attachment, as we shall show
hereafter by unquestioned authority.
The Court also failed to consider Sec
ton 1888, which expressly says that
property exempt from execution is not
subject to garnishment.
! Because this case is of the greatest
public moment, and because of the ur-
gent necessity of a prompt decision,
sufficient time was not taken for
proper preparation and presentation
by counsel, nor for claim and judic-
ial deliberation of the Court.
Because there is a divided opinion
OF the Court in regard to the vital is
sues involved in the decision.
