CANNOT HOLD HIS OFFICE
Decision in the Gray Case at Huron Is
.-.s. of State Wide Interest.

HURON, s.. D.-A decision In the case OF +.
B. Gray against the board Of county commits
sioners for Beadle county has been made BY
Judge whiting. Mr.. Gray was member OF the
hoard from tie second district and resided at
Hitchcock. Some time since he removed from
that city to Huron. and the commissioners passed
a resolution to the effect that his seat on the
hoard was vacant and asked the voters of the
second district to recommend for appointments
his successor.
Mr. Gray took exception to the action of the
board when II named for his place ]. j. Borah
and instituted mandamus proceedings, with
view to compel the board TO rescind Its action
and thereby he retains his membership.
Tpa court holds that Mr. Gray Is no longer Q
member of the board, for the reason that when
a public officer removes from the state. dis
trict county. township or precinct In which
the duties of officers are to be exercised. or
for which he was elected and such office be-
comes vacant he, by his removal from the dis
trict for which he was elected, forfeits all
claim to the office.

Rushing to Destruction.

Birmingham, England, which has
been going cover the cataract of mu'
nicipal ownership into the abyss Of
bankruptcy" for many years, has pro-
gressed far enough toward the goal OF
destruction to announce reduction OF
the price of gas to 3S cents thousand
cubit feet for manufacturers. But lest
the Minneapolis Tribune should give
the prize for idiocy to Birmingham 1T
ought to be added that the Birming-
ham rates, are high. They are higher
than in Manchester, where the people
have been in the abyss and gas business
for number of years, and much higher
than in Sheffield. in the center of the
coal fields, where the rates are 20, 81
and So cents thousand. u
Such rates. appear to be Impossible
in, America, where something over
dollar is the average rate and where
dollar gas is considered free gift to
an ungrateful public. New York,
which burns more gas than Birmingham
and Sheffield combined. has dollar gas
by law, but the companies are fighting
it in every court. The consul who
makes this report on Birmingham com
ments on the distinguishing feature be.
tween gas undertakings in England and
America. In England companies are or
ganized to make gas. In America they
combine that function with the other
of making issues of stock. In England
when private gas company needs more
capital it must get it's authority there
for from parliament, and the new issue
instead of being given to those who
already own the gas works, is sold tt
the highest bidders. AS result there
is no over-capitalization of gas com
panies in England, no blocks of stocks
lying in family chests and which arr
| never useful except on dividend day
Even with this limitation upon th'
financial vagaries of gas companies i
has been found possible for public
plants to compete with them, owing t.
the discovery that the byproducts O.

This Seems Fair.

TO the Editor of The Journal.
Referring to DR.. U. G. Williams, can
didate for republican nomination for
mayor, it was reported in your paper on
Aug. 8 that DR.. Williams was asked the
question: IF elected mayor will you
keep the saloons closed on Sunday?" He
is reported to have replied: "Oh, I will
enforce the laws, of course. A mayor
has to enforce the laws"
This reply seems evasive, and there
fore the writer repeats the question to
DR.. Williams thru your paper: If elected
mayor will you keep the saloons closed
on Sunday?'
Also the question: ''Will you, If elected
mayor, prohibit public gambling?' I be-
lieve that the voters Of Minneapolis are
entitled to definite answer to these
questions, and that the reply given to
the Journal reporter is too general and
does not give the specific answer that
these inquiries should have.
