Till: DICTATOR Tl'KNI'.l) DOWN.
The Supreme Court DccIJch In I'm or of
II, O. ArinMrotift.
Everything else being equal, the Her
ald unhesitatingly ventures the assertion
that in all this broad land from the Cana
dian line on the north to the Rio Grande
river on the south there has never been
just such another abuse of power attempt
ed as that which was undertaken by the
municipal authorities of Alliance to dis
criminate against H. C. Armstri ng in the
matter of granting that gentleman a license
to conduct a saloon. In no other village,
hamlet, town or city in this or any other
country, the Herald will venture again to
assert, are the people subject to tho whims
or caprices of a dictator whoso ambition
it is to rule or ruin according as the im
pulse moves him the private or public af
fairs of its citizens. Every reader of the
Herald is familiar with the arbitrary ac
tion of the city council in refusing to grant
a liquor license to H 0. Armstrong, mere
ly because for some reason, fancied or real,
Mr. Armstrong had incurred the displeas
ure of the dictator who arrogates
to himself privileges that no other but a
man of the meanest and narrowest con
ception of equity and right would have
the audacity to even dream of assuming.
But thanks to the supreme court of Ne
braska tho spell has been broken, and he
who has been wont to rule with the mailed
hand of a despot has run up against an
impossible barrier.
So far, so good. Now let us consider
what might be the msult of this attempt
to enforce one-man rule in Alliance. Sup
pose H. C. Armstrong was constructed
after the plan of the man whose ignorance
and loe of power impelled him to issue
the edict that none but his especial favor
ites were to be permitted to engage in the
saloon business in this city, what then? A
suit for damages would be brought and as
sure as daylight follows darkness tho tax
payers would have to foot the bill. There
are many other evil effects that would
have been entailed upon this people had
the power of the supreme court not been
invoked to stay the ambitious despot who
has sought to usurp the authority that be
long to the people to force an obedience
that the veriest autocrat of the days of
puritainsm would not have dared to at
tempt. But Mr. Armstrong is not swayed
by any such unholy ideas of fairness, and
he will not ask for a penny's compensation
for the loss he has sustained. All he will
claim is a rebate in the amount of license
during the period he was forced to close
the doors of his establishment. This and
nothing more. Aud what fair-minded man
would deny him such favor? Below the
reader will find the decision of the supreme
court bearing on the case, the opinion
having been written by Judge Holcomb:
In a case from Alliance the court holds
that a city council cannot "arbitrarily and
capriciously, through mere whim, favor
itism or prejudice, and without reason or
cause discriminate against an applicant"
for a license to sell liquor. The council
granted licenses and two weeks later met
and revoked its former order without
notice, and granted licenses to others. F.
C. Brockett and two others who had re
ceived licenses at the first meeting of the
couucil, instituted maudamus proceedings.
The lower court denied the application
and the case was brought to the supreme
court on order. An opinion containing
the judgment of the court was written by
Judge Holcomb. He reverses the case
with instruction to the lower court to issue
the writ and tax the costs against all the re
spondents except Louis Bcuchsenstein and
L. F. Smith, two councilmen who refused
to join in resisting the writ. The court
intimates that a mandamus was probably
not the proper remedy, but as that ques
tion was not raised it is not decided. The
court says:
"Whether a city council which has by
order granted a license to an applicant to
sell intoxicating liquors no formal license
having been issued, can at an adjourned
meeting some two weeks later reconsider
their action granting such license and re
ject the application, without notice to the
applicant, quaere.
'It is within the absolute discretion of
the licensing authorities to refuse a license
to all applicants therefor in any county
or municipalities of the state.
"Where the traffic is licensed and regu
lated in pursuance of the the law regulat
ing the sale of intoxicating liquors and or
diances of the municipalities of the state,
those authorized to grant a license to such
as apply therefor in passing on an appli
cation act in a quasi judicial capacity, and
from the action taken thereon an appeal
lies to the district court by any party in
terested in such application.
"Such licensing authorities in passing
on applications for license can exercise
only a legal discretion and have not a right
to exercise arbitrary and capricious dis
cretionary power regarding such applica
tion. "Held, in the case at bar that the re
lators are entitled to a writ of mandamus
to correct an abuse of arbitrary exercise of
authority.

marriage of Mrs. C. H. Riggs to Herbert
Goddard at Edgemont, July 8, 1902. Mr.
Goddard is tho hustling editor of the
Express and his bride is said to be an ami
able lady. The Herald extends congrat
ulations. The Alliance people abandoned their
Fourth of July celebration this year in
order to assist Crawford and sent a train
load of her people up to participate in the
festivities here. Crawford will not be at all
backward next year in showing its appre
ciation of the courtesy, and will be at
Alliance in force. Crawford Tribune.
The Republican acknowledges the re
ceipt of No. 2 of Vol. 1 of the Baptist Her
ald, a religious monthly published by Rev.
G. C. Jeffers, pastor of the Baptist church
at Alliance, Nebraska. Tho paper is well
patronized by the business men of Alliance.
It is well filled with choice reading matter
and gives the local news of the denomina
tion it represents in the northwest part of
the state. The enterprise is a laudable
one and we hope to see Bro. Jeffers make
it a success. Custer County Republican.
The rain all of the afternoon of the
Fourth made it impossible for Hon. S. M.
Smyser to deliver his address which was a
great dissapointment to all. But Mr. Smy
ser can make music as well as orations and
that night found him hugging a violin and
scraping out tunes at a rate calculated to
to make the ordinary violinist turn green
with envy. Mr. Smyser has the happy
faculty of accomodating himself to circum
stances and making himself at home under
auy conditions. Mitchell Index.
The train crew on No. 50 had a narrow
escape early Sunday morning at Reming
ton, just west of Crawford, and the rail
road company has a bill of expense on re
pair account. Conductor Armour, in
charge of No. 50 had stopped to chain
some cars. Engineer Freelan, coming
from the west with an extra, was unable to
puncutate in time to prevent a rear end
collision and smashed the 50 caboose and
a couple of cars. One of the cars was load
ed with pitch pine posts and these were
soon ablaze, much damage being done be
fore the fire could be extinguished. A
wrecking crew was sent from here, with
Trainmaster Marvin and Traveling Engi
neer C. C. Smith, and by hard and active
work the wreckage was cleared away by
nightfall. Very fortunately no one was
hurt.
The Baptist churchand society grateful
ly acknowledges the courtesy of Judges S.
M. Smyser and D. K. Spacht and Messrs,
