GOVERNOR JOHNSON'S BREAK

We thought, when we read what
Governor johnson said in his Shiloh
speech about the decision of the SUI
preme court in the case in which bis
state was interested, that he would
hear from it, says the Sioux City Trib-
une. He spoke of the decision which
held that state may be sued by
bringing suit against its executive offic-
ers, and regarded it as a most un-
fortunate decision; but he had faith
to feel that the people of the country
would rise above the fallibility of iu-
dicial tribunals"
The Washington Herald catches this
note and raises the alarm. 1t is an
other assault upon the sacredness of
the judiciary. 1t is an echo of the de-
nunciation in the democratic platform
of the income tax decision and a re-
newal of the threat to make over the
supreme court. He has been posed as
a conservative; this stamps him as a
radical. And more to the same pur-
pose.
The Herald admits the fallibility of
judges, says they often reverse them
selves. ''but there must be a final word
somewhere, and our organic and statu-
tory law fixes it in our courts and there.
with good citizens, the argument must
end" Which is true, within limits.
The limit is passed when a supreme
court assumes to decide that the act of
the Legislative and executive branches
is invalid.
Our courts have absorbed jurisdic-
tion not given to them in either our
organic or statutory law. Thesupreme
courts are courts Of appeal from lower
courts on questions of law or fact or
both, decided by the lower courts. No
where is authority given them to re-
verse the judgment of the executive
and Legislative branches expressed in
their enactments. They absorbed it
as sponges do water and the people
have submitted.
This is republic. The courts make
it a judgocracy, to coin needed word,
The people. by their representatives,
enact rules of conduct: the courts veto
the enactment. No law can be law
without their permission It remains
in suspension, a de facto law, until they
either make it law de jure or kill il.
Hence we have had the astounding
spectacle astounding when one gets
out Of the ruto custom and gets a
new view point-of five men out Of

In addition to the increase of &c.

roll, it is estimated that $2.592,000 in
additional claims will be filed during
the coming year on account of the
provisions in the new act granting a

and enlisted men who served ninety
days or more during the civil war,

The ''leaders of congress" have

Our readers may wonder who these

that the Legislature authorized the in

Nor word, concerning his pledge
to South Dakota people that South
Dakota stone should be used in the
construction of our state buildings,
has our governor uttered. We wonder
why? Salem Special.
The inference to be drawn from the
above is that Gov. Crawford gave
some sort of a pledge to use South
Dakota stone, either all or in part, in
the construction of the new capital
building. Gov. Crawford did favor
the use of South Dakota stone Il it
could be done without too much cost.
In his inaugural address he favored
so amending the law as to allow the
use of native stone even at an advance
of 5 per cent in cost over outside ma
terial. That was a reasonable bonus,
at least it was high enough. Such
law was passed by the 1907 Legislature
and will be found on page 80 of the
1907 Session Laws. The capitol com
mission then proceeded to secure bids.
The lowest bid for the construction
of the building from South Dakota
stone was S700,000,00, or Sl00,O00,0O
more than the commission was author
lied to spend. The next best thing
was to accept bid within the $780,
10000 that provided for the use of
South Dakota stone in part. Such a
bid was made by 0. III. Olson, who
was to use Sioux Falls stone accord
ing to the amended plans provided
by the new capitol commission, and
as proposed by the East Sioux Falls
Co Operative Stone Co., which con-
Germ refused to enter into a contract
according to their written proposal
That put Sioux Falls stone out of the
question. When bids were first asked
for the proprietors of the Black Hills

able sandstone at any figure. These
facts ought to dispose of all this howl
about the failure to use South Dakota
stone.
The editor of the Special and other
anti-administration papers know these
facts, but they prefer to keep them
from their readers, hoping by the use
of insinuating paragraphs like that
above to prejudice the voters and
make them believe what the so-called
stalwart writer's know to be false.
