Congressman, J. N. William

on last Saturday and objected
to tbe indictments filed iu that

pointing tot few who imagine
we are growing more rapidly
than we have, which is so often
the case" In 1900 we were
credited with 2900. This census

"That every clerk of the cir

All tbe defendents in. the
land fraud cases have raised the
same objection to Ibe indict
ments against them and a battle
royal will be fought on the line
indicted by the objection and an
effort will be made to throw all
1 L . . A 1 ..a
iu vases out 01 court wunout a
trial before juries of the facts.
The legal battle will be along
technical lines solely, in which
the legal terms Mandatory and
Directory statutes will be the
big guns.
The significance of these
terms will appear from the de
flations thereof in Bouviers
Law Dictionary which reads as
follows: under the head "Man
datory" 'In the Construction of
statutes, this word is applied to
such as require to be obeyed,
under penalty of having pro
ceedings under them declared
void. Directory statutes must
be obeyed, but, if not, de not
invalidate the act."
If the court holds the statute
quoted a mandatory one the
indictments will be quashed,
but if the statute is held to be a
Directory one, the acts done
under Mr. Heney's supervision
will be held valid ana the d
murrers to the indiotmenl over
ruled and the cases tried on tbe
facts.
Del Stiusou was eeutencod to
tbe penitentiary for one year for
gambling at Spokane.'. Tbe
conviction was under the new
Washington law .which makes
gambling a felony. The Ob
server is informed tbat at the
next state' election the sumo law
will be presented to thrt voters
of this state for their approval
or rejection. There 13 . yery
little question but what it will
carry. Hewever the bill failed
to receive consideration at the
recent legislature.
