ANT|-pASS MATTER
IN BAD MIDDLE
Much of Friday Spent in ParIia
mentary Struggle Detri-
mental to Bill.
FIGHT is NOT YET OVER
Action Marks a Breaking Away From
Outlined Program of Reform
County Option Measure
Was Killed.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 5.-This is the sec
ond consecutive day during which the
house has been the center OF attrac-
ton through the interest manifested IN
the anti-pass bill. In Fridays session
the contest over the bill centered in a
parliamentary contention over the
right of the body to go into the commit
tee OF the whole for the consideration
of the measure.
Speaker CLANCY held that such right
could only be exercised where the
amendments were previously proposed
one at a time. Foster, of Douglas, APP
pealed from his decision and the
house failed to sustain the speakers
ruling. The bill vas then s~idetracked
to make way for the county local OPP
ton bill which went down to defeat
by so to 80, and after the latter action
was taken a motion to adjourn car
ried.
To Put in Newspaper Amendment.
Carroll and Glass who are standing
for the passage of the anti-pass bill as
it passed the senate having figured out
the meaning of the vote to reverse the
speakers decision came to Hare this
morning and offered to lake up his
newspaper amendment to present it for
adoption in the bill and the offer was
accepted.
This doe not end the fight, however,
as there is a large part of the house
membership which favors the cutting
out of the emergency provision from
the bill and it is for this that the fight
vas made yesterday. In any case the
bill as it will be amended by the house
will have to go back to the senate for
concurrence and there is no telling
what will happen to it, as the action
of the house on the speakers decision
marks a breaking away from the pro-
gram which has been outlined strictly
for railroad legislation.

SCOTLAND. souTH DAKOTA

According To customs or just d rev
years ago in this country quit
work as soon rs the cotton WAS picked
and did nothing until about the first
of March, but luckily these old GUS
onas changed. No blowing for the
next crop was done until spring opened
and the birds were singing, out this
is not so now. Farmers break their
land in the winter, turning all weeds
and trash under, thereby getting adj
vantage of an extra amount OF fertil-
izer and making the and much easier
to work. Improved EARNING imple-
ents have been introduced, the old
time single stocks having been discard
ed. Ma other industry has been ad-
vanced more in the last few years.
Farming is now II of the best pro-
fessions in the country and good judg-
ment is exercised by the boy who sticks
to the farm instead Of going out as a
merchant or q jack-leg law
yer.

MAIL ORDER HOUSE
LOSES FIRST ROUND
Judge Garland Refuses to Re.
strain Retailers in Their
Fight on Concern.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 5.-Judge
Garland, of the United States court In
this city. has denied the application Of
Montgomery Ward & Co, of Chicago.
for q temporary injunction restrain
ing the officers and directors of the
South Dakota Retail Merchants and
Hardware Dealers association and
Editor E. j. Mannix. of the CONNER
cial News, of this city, from continuing
their alleged boycott against the Chi
cago concern.
The great Importance of the decision
is due to the fact that had the plaintiff
company won out in this case, there
is little doubt it was the intention Of
the concern to institute similar actions
in other states where merchants as
sociations are waging a relentless a
fare against the encroachmentS of the
mail order houses.
The action was instituted by the Chi
cage mail order concern as the out
growth of a fight which has been made
in South Dakota againss the extension.
in this state of the business of tie
mail order houses. The aid of the Job
bers II wholesalers was sought and
they We're urged to stand with the re-
tail dealers as against the mail order
concerns.
Crippled Source of Supplies.
Owing to the fact that some of the
~ o6 31AA LiADSb ~ Y
goods to the mai CIDER concern, which
is the plaintiff ir this action, the plain
tiff company alleged that it had been
damaged through being unable to pur-
chase the goods required by it to fill
the riders OF its customers.
Judge Garland in denying the appii-
cation, held in substance, that the de-
PENDANT association had not used
threats in the effort to induce jobbers
and wholesalers not to sell their goods
to mail order houses, but had simply
endeavored to persuade them to stand
with the retail dealer. and that the
course of the officers of the association
had not been unlawful.
Judge Carland's decision clearly sets
forth the matters at issue in the case,
and he cites numerous authorities to
sustain him In his denial of the tenapor-
airy injunction asked for by the plain
tiff company.
Although the temporary injunction
was denied. this does not wholly end
the case, which, unless it is in the
meantime withdrawn by the plaintiff
company, will come up for hearing on
its merits at the regular April term
OF United States court in this city. The
plaintiff company simply sought to Sc
cure a temporary injunction to hold
until the main case was disposed Of at
the April term.
Colonel Melvin Grigsby and Bailey g.
voorhees, conducted the fight against
the granting Of the temporary inJunc-
ton.

agitated by the newspapers published
at Wheeler, Lake Andes and Wagner,

deayor to capture the county seat is

been the county seat, and will make a
desperate effort to retain 1t, notwith-
standing that it is not situated on a
railroad line. Wagner and Lake Andes
are both on the Platte extension Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-

on the Jealousy OF the three railroad
towns to defeat the attempt to change
the county seat. as 1T did before.
