OFFICERS TO BE ELECTED

The Indicator says that all officers are
to be elected at the October constitutional
election. The Indicator doubts its own
position by admitting that probably the
majority of papers will disagree with it.
The wish is probably father to thethought
but notwithstanding this it is difficult to
see how the law can be construed to admit
of such an opinion. In the first place IT
would be manifest injustice to the present
county officers, who were elected to serve
two years; secondly the general county
government will experience no change
from the present form upon the admission
to statehood-except that we have
County Judge" instead OF Probate
Judge" thirdly, the omnibus bill con-
templates no such unnecessary election.
Our contemporary says II we are to
elect state officers why not elect county
officers also. The reason must certainly
have been evident when the sentence was
penned. The entire territorial form of
government, Legislative. executive and
judicial, is changed. The legislative
branch is extended in power the execu-
tive and judicial elective instead Of ap-
pointive. 1t becomes then absolutely
necessary to elect state officers TO acquire
self government, the privilege Of state
hood. As this condition already exists in
county government. why the necessity OF
electing county officers
True the omnibus bill says representa-
tives of the 5lst Congress are TO be elect
ed together with governors and other
officers" but Immediately following ''and
other officers" comes provided for in
said constitution" The Indicator man
either failed to read this proviso following
his quotation or else purposely omitted it,
The Sioux Falls constitution being 4
foreQone conclusion we must find in il The
answer to the omnibus quotation ''con
gressmen, governors, and other officers
provided for In said constitution" viz
Governor, Lieutenant Governor. Auditor
Treasurer, Atty Gereial, Supt. Public In
struetion, Com. School and Public Lands
Supreme Judges. Circuit Judges, County
Judges, Clerk Of Court. Congressman
State LEGISLATORS. As the above officer
are the only onss mentioned in the oil,
constitution, the conclusion is una
voidable that county officers will not b,
elected next isji

JUDGE MOODY NOT A COWARD.

The st, Paul Globe. which allows no
chance to pass unimproved to belittle and
ridicule Judge Moody, in looking over
the military record of the above named
gentleman, is candid enough to tell the
truth after having its Washington cores
pondent look over the files of the war
department. Its correspondent was in
structed to investigate the records for the
purpose Of belittling the judge and prov
ing that the honorable gentleman was a
coward of the basest sort and that he had
been dismissed from the army for gross
cogardice. Its correspondent looked.
The result hardly turned out as he desir-
ed. Instead of showing arrant cowardice
on the part of the first senior senator from
South Dakota it proveda splendid record
for him-Sturgis Record
