Those,residing in this part of the state know only too well what has been BohMided with on account of the-illegal sate, of liquor and Its at- tendant licentiousness and disorder. TH4\ order of the Public Safety commission, following the decision of the State Supremo court anent Beltrami county, was designed for the cor- rection of the illegal.nw of booze and what goes with it, yet the distillers and*Mewere have to be reckoned with for-they are bent upon defying the law.ofr the state and mandates of the Safety Gommission.
