APPENINGS
ERE AND THERE.
If the federal commissioner of Indian affairs sees fit to enforce the
Chippewa treaty of 1855 Bemidji and
numerous other towns in Minnesota
covered by that instrument will
be "dry" in the future, the United
States supreme court ruled, denying
the application filed by the liquor interests just before adjournment last
summer praying for a rehearing and
reargument of the Bemidji liquor
case.
Chief Justice White merely made a
memorandum citing denial of the application and filed it with the clerk
for the record.
The court decided last May the
"dry" provision of the treaty still is
operative. It was further held by the
court that it is within the power of
congress to repeal the prohibition provision.
Indian Commissioner Sells has announced that he will enforce the law
to the letter. He is a strong prohibitionist.
Under the rules the mandate of the
supreme court in the Bemidji case
will be sent to the lower court in
thirty days.
In. enforcing the law in Minnesota,
the Indian commissioner has two
courses open to him. He may seek
summarily to prevent the sale of liquor in all the territory affected, much
of which is occupied by whites, or he
may adopt a course designed solely to
prevent liquor finding its way into
the hands of Indians.
The latter conservative course will
be urged upon him strongly ^ officials of the bureau. • "^^	
The general impression among
those who ought to be advised of
Commissioner Sells' views of this particular, case is that he will proceed
carefully and only with the view of
keeping liquor away from the Indians.

TWO    FIX    MINIMUM    WAGE
Orders of Commission in Effect in
Thirty   Days.
Two members of the state minimum
wage- commission, Miss Eliza P. Evans, secretary, and W. F. Hock, state
labor commissioner, have, promulgated
wage orders affecting all women
workers and minors of ordinary ability employed in tbe state.
The orders were made pursuant to
an opinion of Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith that the two members
could fix wage orders in the absence
of A. H. Dindeke, who resigned last
week. The orders will go into effect
Nov. 23, thirty days after their establishment. They are based on the
weekly living wage necessary for
workers in the various occupations.
Six orders in all were made, ranging
from $9.00 to $8.00 for various classifications.
ABOUT $2,000,000 RETURNED
Minnesota Shippers Recover Excesa
Freight Charges.
That Minnesota is admitted to be
the foremost state in the Union in regard to protecting shippers of freight
is the word brought back by Attorney
General L. A. Smith from a meeting
of attorneys general of all the states
at  Washington, D. O.
".Minnesota shippers have received
approximately $2,000,000 from railroads in overcharges since the- state
rate case was settled in July, 1013,"
he said. "All officials at/ the meeting admitted that Minnesota was far
in advance of other states which had
had the same difficulties to face in
reducing transportation costs."
