In view of the fact that the new cigar
ette law is in force and for the further
reason that very few people are familiar
with the text of the law, we print the
following brief extracts from the bill as
passed by the recent legislature: Sec
ton one provides that a heavy penalty
shall be imposed upon any manufactur.
er who sells or offers for sale in the State
of South Dakota any cigarette that con-
tains any substance whatever foreign to
tobacco,
Retailers are prohibited from selling
cigarettes to any minor, and for viola
tion of the law in so doing shall be fined
for the first offense $25 and the fine is to
be doubled for each subsequent ofFense.
Another section provides that any
minor caught smoking cigarettes in any
public building, street, alley or in fact,
any place outside of his own home, shall
be fined in the sum of $40 for the first
ofense, the amount to be doubled for
each subsequent ottense.
The attention of parents and school
teachers is called to this new law, which
was passed with the emergency clause,
was duly signed by the governor and is
now in operation.

Divorce industry not Dead.

Contrary to expectation, says a Sioux
Falls special of recent date, the divorce
industry of Sioux Falls and South Da-
kota has not received its immediate
deathbIow as the result of the state leg
islature enacting a law raising the period
Of residence from six months to one
year. Those interested in the industry
have decided upon a sensational coup,
which will prevent the new law going
into effect for nearly two years, and pos
sibIy longer.
The referendum amendment to the
! state constitution, which was adopted in
1899, and which is a relic of the populist
administration, is the weapon which
will prevent the divorce law going into
effect at the time expected by those who
pushed the measure through the legisla.
ture. Had the law contained an emer.
gency clause the referendum could not
have been invoked.
1t has been announced that the refer
endum amendment will be invok ed d..
This will prevent the law going into eff
! feet until after it has been submitted to
the voters of the state and receives a
majority Of the votes cast 1t cannot be
submitted until the next general elec.
tiOn, to be held in November, 1908, and
in the meantime the present law, re
quiring only six months residence, will
be in effect.
knowledge of this is certain to cause
a great revival in the divorce industry
pending the result of the vote upon the
new law at the election year from next
fall In order to invoke the referendum
it is necessary to file petition contain
| ing the signatures of per cent of the
qualified voters Of the state asking that
the law be submitted to a vote. These
petitions will be circulated Immediately
for signatures and will be filed before
| the expiration of ninety days from the
passage of the new divorce law as re-
quired by the referendum amendment
to the state constitution.
| 1t also is announced that the referen-
| dun will also be invoked in the case of
the new law prohibiting Sunday amuse
ments in South Dakota, such as theatri-
cal performances and base ball games.

In the trial that is now going on,
wherein Harry Thaw is charged with
the murder of Stanford White in New
York it is said that the evidence and
argument is largely in favor of the de-
fense. 1t seems also that public opinion
all over the land has settled down to a
view of the case that where man felt
like committing murder that Stanford
White was good subject to commenc e
on. The trial will probably last abont
ten days longer, and were it not for the
great wealth of the parties it would pro-
badly have ended in the court of po-
lice Judge.

President Roosevelt has seemingly
stole march on congress by making use
of the authority vested in him in setting

he has done before congress had time to

Galveston Plan of City Government.

Galveston Plan of City Government.
The Galveston plan of city govern
ment has become a law. According to
reports several cities in the state are
| considering the adoption of this plan.
1t is optional with all cities and can
only be put into execution after the pro-
position has been favorably voted upon
at general election. Briefly, the pro-
visions of the bill are as follows:
Cities organized under this act shall
be bodies polite and corporate, and shall
be governed by mayor and four COM
missoners who shall constitute board
of commissioners, the mayor acting as
president.
The board, by majority vote, is given
the power to appoint all officers and sub
ordinates in all departments Of the city
and to fix their salaries.
In case of vacancy from any cause
in the office of mayor or commissioner
it can be filled by election for the unex
pired term.
The board is given control over all
departments. One member is to be
known as police and fire commissioner ;
another as commissioner of streets and
| public property another waterworks
and sewerage commissioner, and the
fourth, commissioner of finance and
revenue.
No law, ordinance or resolution pass
ed by the board can become effective
until the elapse of twenty days and in
the meantime qualified voters may peti-
| ton to have the measure submitted 10 a
vote of the electors for rejection or APP
prevail
The board is given practically full
control of the city's powers among
which are the control of finances and
property of the city, power to appro-
pirate money, to make levies and bor-
row money on the credit of the corpora.
ton.
The board will also act as a board OF
equalization.
Every city organized under this act
becomes an independent school district
and the board of education, consisting
of five directors, will be elected annu
Tally.
