THE SUNDAY LAW
Baseball Enthusiasts Will Try t,
Organize to Defeat the Sunday
Observance Statute.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 8.-A movement
has been inaugurated by Roy Town
send, Of this city. secretary Of the
All Sioux Falls Baseball Association,
having for its purpose the holding
of a convention in Sioux Falls some
time during the coming summer with
the object of organizing for the de-
feat Of what is known as the Sunday
closing act of the last legislature,
which will be submitted to the voters
of South Dakota at the election next
November for acceptance or rejec-
ton. Among other things the act
prohibits the playing of baseball on
Sunday. Those who seek to defeat
the law at the polls because it in
terferes with Sunday baseball pro-
pose to first hold a district conven-
ton which will pave the way for a
state convention, when the organi-
cation of the anti-Sunday closing
forces would extend to all parts of
the state. The law was enacted by
the legislature which was in session
a year ago, but before it could go
into effect those opposed to its pro-
visions invoked the referendum
amendment to the state constitution.
thus preventing the law from going
into effect and giving the voters of
the state an opportunity at the No
vember election to say whether or
not they want it placed upon the
statute books.

1908 AND 1907 COMPARED

BrOOB1ngS PieSS: lnathelr attempt
to convince the people that the state
taxes + not high this year, the
reformers are prom to drag in the
1903 tax for comparison. We have
called attention to the fact that the
1903 tax vas large because 1t was
necessary to levy a tax to pay of the
bonds and Interest, and the stealing
Of the state treasurer. We have also
called attention to the fact that
while 1t would require q levy 81 61S
mills to meet the appropriations Of
the last legislature for tie current
year, none Of the levy would be nee
yessary to pay bonds, for at the time
Mr.. Crawford took the state there
we're no bonds, and enough revenue
70 leave a. surplus of s22. 600. The
feformers have thus far failed to
explain why the state taxes are so
high this year although. they are
making enough progress to at last
admit that they are higher. 1t is
easy enough to explain when taxes
are so high this year, and we believe
that this month when everybody
will have to pay the first installment
Of their taxes, would be a good time
% explain what all the money is
for. and Wa trust that the reform
organs will do so.

I held the fine white card in my
hand for quite a few minutes. Fritz
Semmerbrodt and a terrible death? II
didn't seem to go together. OF course
he also must die sometime, but the
man was SO comical. SO amusing In
every way that ! felt sure that ne
would make even death laugh when he
came TO fetch him.
But why bother your head about this
when all that il necessary 10 find out
is 10 accept the invitation and GO
there. The next Monday / therefore
found myself In the house of my friend
Fritz Semmerbrodt In Uhland-st. 1t
goes without saying that l was given
splendid reception. as was always
the case when visiting that house, but
the reception that night surpassed all
my expectations.
can event like this must be cele
brated In a BETTING manner" Fritz
cried when I protested that he had
gone too far in his preparations.
IL was decided that we IL friends
who had been invited should only be-
told what had really happened when
chatting over our coffee and cigars
after the dinner.
When the table had been cleared
and we lit our cigars. there was sol
emn pause In the conversation and
Fritz arose from his chair and began
his speech:
Il thank you all. my dear friends.
that you nave come here today, and |
cannot say how glad ! am that am
In position 10 receive you here to-
nisht. and that this is so l really owe
10 the kind respect OF nihilist. for

In the hereafter"
He stopped a while and looked at
our faces. but as nobody said anything
or asked any questions he continued:
''Tt was In st. Petersburg. where my
father had sent me to collect large
amount from customer. OF course
did not get IT all, but got 1000 rou-
