1 dition that expenses incurred should be
paid by the applicant. 1t Is recommended
\ that the agents fees for services in thii

/ AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
4 Its recommended that earnest egislatior
be had for reform OF the present ballot
system. Free government cnn survive al
Il disasters except the pollution of the popu
ler ballot, by intimidation, fraud or pur
chase. 1t can even stand fraud In public
/ officers. This can be remediel so long as
the people are honest. bat wien the fount
I ain is contaminated the stream must be

course The secret ballot is recognized q.
the practical means OF reformation. and
the Austialia system has been adopted
by many states of the Union with satisfao
tory results, und ought to bc introduced IL
this state, with any additional improve
ments that can be devised. New and un
tried methods should be avoided. Let in
ventors experiment at the or pense of other
i states.
Il LOCATION OF THE CAPITAL.
i The question of permanent location o
the sent of government was submitted te
the electors of the lase general ele e,tion and
determined in favor of the city of Pierre
that city having received a majority of al
votes cast on that proposition at said cleo
tion.
Il CONCLUSION.
: These suggest ons, mainly repetition,
made to the first legislature OF the state
are presented as the honest convictions oi
the executive, touching the pressing du
ties with which we ara charged. In new
or doubtful fields of legislation, proceed
with caution Take head lest your zea
outstrip your judgment and SO increase
the exits you would overcome Weigl
your opinions with your opponents; hole
fast what is good and discard what II
faulty, that truth may prevail Whil,
OWL government was instituted to protect
the weak against the strong; the shiftles.
and simple minded from the avericiou,
aud cunning, it was not intended to defeat
Gods first law, that man should live I,
labor. The province of legislation is no
to foster idleness, but to stlmulate effort
not to destroy ambition, but to elevate and
directit To prsevers with jealousy the
social institutions which enoble human ma
ture; to foster religion, which furnis he
divine ideals, and to promote common
|, education, which Is the preserver OF all
4 You are finally admonished that tn,
i time for your multifarious labors is brief
and not to put off till tomorrow your mos
important duties, but to enter upon thei,
, discharge today.
