MOrs government By Injunction.


South Dakota Is now getting an OBJ
ject lesson in government by injune-
tion." As in most of the Western
States, there was a strong agitation
last fall for legislation to regulate rail-
road charges. The reform Legislature
accordingly passed a maximum rates
bill.
This law was not submitted to by
the company, which brought suit to
have it declared unconstitutional. In
the meantime the district Federal
court. in compliance with the request
OF the railroads. has issued an order
restraining the State Railroad Com
mission from attempting 10 put tie
new law into effect.
This shows the operation OF govern
ment by Injunction. Ordinarily law
IS considered constitutional until it Is
proven otherwise. But along comes a
Federal judge, who consents to con-
slider the law unconstitutional until it
proves to be valid. That is to say, it
is presumed that the peoples Legisla-
ture passes invalid laws as a rule
Obviously the whole system of pre-
cedure is overturned. Nor is this
merely in theory. The case will
doubtless be delayed as long as posi-
bic in the courts. Meanwhile the
people can not enforce their law. BuI
for this dangerous and unjust innova-
ton, the railroads would have to sub
NIT to laws, as individuals do, until
they can prove them unconstitutional.
Government by injunction is govern
ment of the people by powerful, an
archistic corporations.-K. C. Times.

Re better 10 elect United States
senators by a direct vote of the

now done. The election of sen

year, and the recent prolonged
deadlock in Kentuckey, and the
one now on in: Florida furnishes
the very strongest argument in
favor of a direct cote.
BY direct vote of the people
the cost is very little-in fact, it
does not cost one cent as there are

at the same time, and seperate
box could easily be placed at the
voting precincts for a senatorial
vote.
In the primary elections before
mentioned held last wear. the
candidate was practically elected,
as the legislatures in both States
were overwhelmingly democratic.
True the man elected in Georgia
never reached the United States
senate, but that was an act of
Providence, and not the fault of
the direct vote.
In the legislative election just
closed in Kentucky, the contest
lasted through two sessions Of the
State legislature, cost the State
about one hundred thousand dol
lars, caused many charges of
fraud and corruption to be made
against one of he most prominent
candidates and various members

The enthusiasm which prevails
among the Democrats in Iowa Ind the
apathy which characterizes the Demo.
Gratis OF Ohio suggest an inquiry as to
the reason behind these conditions.
glance at the facts will make the
matter clear. In Iowa the campaign is
conducted on national issues, and the
silver question is brought boldly and
aggressively to the front. William ].
Bryan is received everywhere in the
State by enormous crowds of people,
and his eloquent presentation of ma
tional issues creates the widest enthu-
siasm.
In Ohio there is little Democratic zeal.
The campaign is jogging along in a
humdrum, drOwsy fashion. Mark Han
ma has opened his barrel and it looks
as thought the king of the trusts would
win victory through the Incidence of
his opponents. The silver cause is not
made paramount by the Democrats,
and the people are not aroused by the
discussion of local issues.
1t is not good generalship to ignore
the fact that the money question is the
one subject which is recognized as vital
by the people. 1t is the one thing in
which they are interested above all
other things. TO ignore this question
Is to court defeat. There should be no
compromising on this issue. There can
be no compromise.
The Republicans demand a gold mon-
ometallic currency, and are straining
every nerve to secure control of Con-
gress in order that they may establish
an irrevocable rule Of gold. 1t is to be
hoped tnat the Democrats of Ohio will
take hint from the campaign in Iowa
and make their fight on the money
question. BY so doing they can arouse
an enthusiasm among the people that
will be the precursor Of victory.-Chi-

MENACED EY DROUGHT.
Central and Western States in Danger
from Lack of Rain.


Nearly the entire central and western
portions of the United States are suffer-
ing from the long-continued drought.
Danger and hardship exist in many of the
sections where no rain has fallen recent
ly, and the result is great fear among the
people. Had not the crops matured be-
fore the dry spell they would have been
scorched and ruined. And even now fire
threatens the fields and pastures on the
prairieS of Illinois and other Western
States.
In many instances the conditions have
become such that there is actually severe
suffering among the populat ton. Farmers
on both sides of the Missouri river are
compelled to haul water many miles.
Wells have become dry and men and ami
mails must quench their thirst. The only
rain that has fallen has been insufficient
to affect the parched ground or to bring
water into wells which have become dry
or at least low. Instead of the fall rains,
which would soften the ground for plow
ing, there is fair weather and an unusual
and dangerous dryness.
One of the greatest dangers connected
with this condition throughout the coun-
try is that of fire. Not only i'll northern
Wisconsin, covered by timber land, is
there fear of destructive fires, but in
Illinois and adjoining States every farmer
whose acres are traversed by II railroad
or are near to any railway line is con-
stantly afraid his corn fields may be set
abre by sparks from Il passing locomo
tive. The dried-up pastures all over the
prairie land are in the same danger, and
no lon or nj I'M
NOUS destruction and even loss of life.
AS for the lack of water, it is daily be-
coming greater, and farmers do not know
what they will do with their stock when
present sources of supply give out, which
will not be long if there is no precipita-
ton Of moisture soon. There is no State
where these conditions do not exist. Kan
sas, Missouri, Iowa. Wisconsin, Illinois
and Indiana all are included III the belt
where there is nothing but dust and the
parched remains of harvest fields and pas
lures where animals graZcd a month ago.
In Illinois, Indiana and Iowa there is the
worst suffering. according to the reports
received from all the cities. towns and
hamlets i'll the country districts of these
three States.
In Illinois and Iowa, where so large
portion of the crop is corn and corn fields
cover every county and line every rail
way, the most fear of prairie fires exists.
1t is only the absence of strong wind
which has so far prevented them. for any
small spark might kindle one which could
spread over large area. The farmers
have exercised the greatest care during
the last two weeks to prevent small
blazes spreading.
But the fire danger and the suffering
from want of water in some districts is
not the only result of the drought. Nearly
all pasturage has been made absolutely
barren. AT this time. when horses and
COWS usually are outside before the ap-
proach of the cold weather, they must
be fed on hay They have torn up even
the roots in pastures in their endeavOr to
get grass, and dust has taken the place
of verdure.

Child Burned to Death.

Hardin were burning a lot of refuse in
their yard when the flames caught the
dress of Myrtle, their 7-year-old daughter,
and before she could be assisted she was
fatally burned. In trying to save her
chlld's life Mrs. Hardin had both hands
and one arm withered by fire, and Misses
Mary and Zeff Hardin, who went to their
mothers and sisters aid, were both
trightfully burned about the arms and
hands.
