GOVERNOR LEE AND MRS. LEI

GOVERNOR LEE AND MRS. LEE
Every self-respecting resident of the
state will hang his head in shame when
he comprehends the enormity of the Of
Tense against decency and propriety
committed by the organ of the Republi-
can machine in this city in making a
wholly false and malicious attack upon
the wife of the governor of the state in
an attempt to injure his political pros
poets. The substance of the attack up
on Mrs. Lee was that her visit to the
family of Arthur Linn commandant of
the soldiers home. was in fact scheme
to get few weeks board at state ex-
pense. The only way this could be dis
torted into a political argument was by
claiming that it proved Governor Lees
willingness to use his position for his
personal advantage. We have stated
before, and state again, that there was
not scintilla of truth in the whole
charge, and the attack upon Mrs. Lee
was only the product of disordered
brain and a depraved taste for sensa-
tionalism.
In this connection it might be we'll to
state that during all of his term as gov
ernor Andrew E. Lee has never asked
the state to reimburse him one penny
for his personal expense while attend
ing to the business of the people For
instance while he was in Sioux Falls
last summer organizing the South Da-
kota regiment of soldiers, his hotel bill
amounted to over $50. but this he paid
and the state was never asked to repay
it. So in every other instance, and
there are many of them, the governor
has paid his own way and the state has
had the benefit of his activities without
cost. There is not Republican official
in the state who has done the same
thing.
Governor Lee is a man above re-
preach, man of honor, devoted to the
best interests of all the people, sincere
ly desirous of doing good to the state
which has honored him, not extrava-
CANT personally nor for others and those
who seek to besmirch him do but show
their own unworthiness Mrs. Lee is a
lady, splendid woman, equally with
her husband devoted to the best inter-
ests of the people of the state, and the
despicable hireling of a gang of con-
scienceless machine politicians but
showed his own criminal instincts by
attacking the governor through her

The Last word.

The day is nearsat hand when the
people of South Dakota are to vote up
on constitutional amendment which,
if endorsed by the majority, will place
our young state as far above any other
state Of the Union, today, in securing 8
the reality of democratic Government,
as the states adopting the constitution
of 1887, were raised above the colonial
states under the original Articles of
Confederation. In the coming election
these questions are submitted direct to
the people:
Are your beliefs in the theories of
self-government, genuine, intellectual
convictions, or only a mental collection
of ''glittering generalities," without
intelligent force in your political
actions? Are you sovereigns in gov
ernment, in reality, or only in a cause
less pretense? These questions will be
fully answered in the case of each in
dividual elector of South Dakota next
Tuesday. by the way he shall vote for
or against the initiative and referen-
dunn in state legislation. To vote
against a provision for these reforms in
our state constitution, is to fix the gage
of the voters citizenship, as measured
by himself on the low plain of a half
matured ability to participate in and
enjoy the rights of democratic form
of government. Such vote will be an
authorized denial, that the voter pos
sesses sufficient intelligence to exercise
the legislative function in common
with a majority of his fellow citizens;
cleau-cut acknowledgement that
when he has helped to elect repre-
sentative law-maker, in accordance
with the formula of his favorite, parti-
san machinery, he has no ability or
desire to exercise criticism or control
of his representative conduct. The
language of the citizen who votes
against this advance in democratic
facilities for more complete system
of self-government, is practically this
When I vote for representative OF
my interests in the affairs of govern
ment, just surrender all my rights as
citizen, for the good of my party, and
elect boss over my intelligence fol-
one, two or more years, as is now fixed,

ly learned in the law and not an officer
of his own court. In my judgment it
was intended by the constitution max
ers that no person should be eligible to
the Office of county Judge unless he was
admitted to practice at the bar of the
courts or at least possessed of equal
learning on the law with those permit
ted to practice at the bar of the court.
The second question you ask is the
following: lis q person holding first
grade county certificate at the time OF
his election, secured less than a year
prior to the election, eligible to the
office of county superintendent Of
schools, provided that at one time more
than year prior to the election he had
held first grade county certificate
which had expired more than a year
prior to the election?"
In answering this question I will
state that Section 26 Of Chapter 81 of
the laws of 1897 provides that "No
person shall hereafter be elected or ap-
pointed to the Office of county superin-
tendent who is not the holder of at
least valid first grade county certifi-
cate secured at least one year prior
thereto, and who has not had at least
twenty -four months of actual expert
ence in school teaching"
1t will be noticed that this provision
of the law is prohibitory of any person
being elected to the Office, that is he
cannot be elected unless he is a holder
of the certificate required and the
language is clear to the effect that in
order to be eligible to be elected he
must be holder Of a valid first grade
county certificate and it must have
been secured at least one year prior
thereto. County certificates are grant
ed upon examination made by the
county superintendent on the branches
prescribed by law and are evidence of
the qualification of the holder to teach
school in this state. The law requires
that the certificate which is produced
as evidence of the holders quali;ca-
tions and eligibility for the Office Of
county superintendent of schools must
have been secured at least one year
prior to the election. It cannot be Sc
cured after this period. The law plain
ly bars out all persons from being
elected to the Office of county superin-
tendent of schools who do not hold the
required certificate. No person who
does not hold the certificate a year
prior to the election is eligible to be
elected or competent to hold the Office
and my opinion IS that unless certif-
cate, valid and in force at the time of
the election was secured by the holder
at least one year prior thereto, the
holder is not eligible to be elected.

4 BIT OF Law.
An Opinion By Hon. c. B. Kennedy
VOL. 3. NUMBER -.

Mr.. F. H. BACON, Chairman Peoples
Party County Central Committee,
Lincoln county, s. D.
Dear Sir Replying to your letter
asking my opinion on the following
questions was duly received and in re-
,ly thereto will answer as follows:
III The first question you ask is the fol-
Flowing: "Is a person, not a lawyer,
not admitted to practice in the circuit
or supreme courts of this state, eligible
to be elected to the Office of county
judge?'
Section 25 of the constitution is in
the following words: mo person shall
be eligible to the Office of the circuit or
county courts unless he be learned in
the law"
You will notice that this section of
the constitution is prohibitory and ex-
cludes all persons not learned in the
law and the inquiry is, what is meant
by the term ''unless he be learned in the
lawy' In my opinion the provision has
reference to the law which the duties
of his Office would require him to ad-
minister.
Section 20 of the constitution is as
follows: County courts shall be courts
of record and shall have original juris-
diction in all matters of probate guar
dianship and settlement of estates of
deceased persons, and such other civil
and criminal jurisdiction as may be
conferred by law; provided that such
courts shall not have jurisdiction in
sny case where the debt, damage claim
; Of value of the property involved shall
exceed one thousand dollars except in
matters of probate guardianship and
the estates of deceased persons. Writs
of error and appeal may be allowed
from county to circuit courts, or to the
supreme court in such cases and in
such manner as may be prescribed by
law"
It will be noticed by this section that
the legislature is authorized to confer
jurisdiction upon county courts in all
suits at law where the value Of the
property shall not exceed one thousand
dollars and exclusive jurisdiction in
matters of probate and guardianship
and writs of error and appeal may be
allowed from the county to the circuit
court or to the supreme court. It will
he further noticed that the eligibility
Of both county and circuit judges is
provided by the same sentence in the
constitution and hence must be the
same. If jurisdiction is granted to the
county court by the legislature it be-
comes the duty of the county judge to
administer the law in the same way as
that of the circuit judge, so far as
y action within the prescribed jurisdic-
tion are concerned. They must charge
the Jury; rule on the advisihility OF
evidence and make conclusions of law
and hence their learning must extend
to all these things. They must be
learned in the elementary principles of
law and the practice Of the law as ap-
nlied to its administration. The same
terms are used in the requirement for
admission of persons to practice at the
bar and no man in this state is author
lied or qualified to practice at the bar
Of any of the courts of record unless he
ia an admitted attorney and it is not to
\ be presumed that the person presenting
cases to the court must be q practiced

the Introduction Of Modern
Methods of Sanitation.

1t Is doubtless "a fact, as has been
stated repeatedly by great veterinari-
ans. that il Is possible TO extcrminate
diseases OF live stock whenever sani-
tary conditions are what they should
be. We have yet TO learn the great
value Of keeping clean. There are
many diseases that affect our stock that
are exceedingly slow TO spread, and il
would appear easily possible 10 exter-
inmate such. With cattle diseases as
well as with human diseases he proper
thing to do Is 10 prevent them.
The first point Of improvement
should be the barnyard. Too often this

decidedly concave. We have seen more
than one such barnyard where the
lowest point was in the middle, and
every rain created small sea. occupy
ing the major part of the yard This
may result in saving some Of the ma
nure, but IL also fosters the conditions
that develop and spread diseases Have
the barnyard well drained. If il be on a
light slope 1t might be more easily kept
dry and clean.
Next comes the stables. These nre
not so often allowed 10 become filthy
as the barnyard, but il is the prevail
Ing custom TO have them badly lighted
and badly ventilated. Both points need
TO be looked after. If the stable be
badly lighted ii will be pract ically inn
possible TO keep il dry. Moist stables
make it possible for disease germs TO
develop with great rapidly. Let In
the sunlight and reduce the possibility
of disease germanation. II is said that
sunlight is the most powerful disin-
fectant known 10 science. We are not in
n position TO assert that this is true or
not, but all experience shows that sun
light Is great factor in keeping man
and beast in a state of good health.
The hog pen and hog yard need spe-
cial attention. We have an idea that
because the hog likes TO wallow in the
dirt he also likes 10 wallow in the ma
nure. but such is not the case The
hog likes TO keep clean. as anyone
knows that has had much 10 do with
hog raising. Without doubt the filthy
hog pen and yard have more than once
started the spread Of diseases among
stock resulting in immense loss 10 the
surrounding farmers. The expense OF
money and time required in our efforts
to keep clean will give good return In
dollars and cents.-Farmers' Review.

A WORM HATCHERY.
Sources of Food for Growing

During the fall and winter whenever
we cleaned out our henhouses we threw
the cleanings in one corner Of our gar
