BIG ATHLETIC CARNIVAL AND
OTHER THINGS AT THE STATE
COLLEGE.

Friday evening, February ), the col

gest and best event of its kind ever
pulled OK within the confines of col

winter athletic carnival. The old car
nival of Venice. the Pasadena festival
NJ roses, the modern street fair are
only baubles as compared with the
magnificence in conception and exc
cution of the mid-winter athletic car
nival at the State college. The ag-
gies had chosen their queen, more
than doubling the vote of the steam
engineers. their nearest competitors.
The aggies are beginning to realize
that they are 1.-The biggest bunch on
the HILL" TO quote one Of their num-
Der, and the queer they chose was
we'll worthy of the u~nwavering sup
port that she received from her loyal
classmates. DR.. Rodeheaver, in a few
well chosen words introduced the
queen, Miss Mildred Boyce and she
responded veIy gracefully. Miss leila
Lindskog, who received the second
highest number of votes. acted as maid
of honor. The queen then took pos
session of her tn II and the carnival
burst forth in all its magnificence.
DR.. Derr conducted a booth where
he took the s~ilhouettes of all who were
vain enough to wish them. George
Phillips and Lloyd Lane did some
heart breaking stunts on the slack
wire. Orville Mcmillan demonstrated
that ne knows all about the bicycle
and knows how to control it. The
"Heine Band made music for us all.
Orlando White presided Owe his fam
Gus bunch of wild men. Confetti and tick
lers did more than their share of work
to liven things up and the crowd final
ly dispersed leaving the athletic asso-
citation three hundred and ffty-seven
dollars richer. The latter ought to
insure q good series of field and track

Railroads In State Engage In
Merry Foot Race

The state of South Dakota engaged
in a foot race with the railroads on
Wednesday, and, remarkable as it may
seem, the contest ended in a draw.
AS a result the railroad agents of the
state do not know whether or not they
are making themselves liable to i'm
prisonment every time they sell a
ticket for more than two cents a mile.
A 2-cent fare bill was making its
way quickly through the legislature.
1t carried with it an emergency clause,
meaning that it would go into effect
last letter of his lame on the bill.
The railroads of South Dakota have
already made plain, by going into court
against Il 21a cent fare, that they do
no want to sell tickets at two cents
a mile. The republicans in their party
platform pledged to give the state a
2-cent fare law. The administration
wanted it to be a real law and not a
mere subject for litigation. They
wanted the people of South Dakota
to have the privilege of actually buy
ing tickets at two cents a mile.
1t was a foregone conclusion that
the railroads would try to enjoin the
law in the federal court. So Attorney
General Clark determined to attempt
to beat their game by getting the ase
first into the state supreme court. He
recalled how Alabama and North Caro-
lima threatened in vain to use the
militia to prevent the federal court
from holding up a state law, once the
court had entered upon the case.
Now there is a rule among courts
comfy the lawyers call it-whereby
the first of one or more courts having
possible jurisdiction over a certain
case, to accept the case, has the right
of way, the privilege of hearing it
through. In other words, il the state
could get an order from the state SUI
preme court, in support of the 2-cent
fare law before the railroads could get
an injunction from the federal court
against. it. the attorney general be-
lieved the federal court would refuse
to entertain the case, upon showing
that it was first taken up by the state
supreme court. The attorney for the
railroad companies, an army of them,
were at Sioux Falls equally deter
mined to get the case into federal
court first.
Plainly. 1t was to be a foot race and
also something of a wire race.
Ben Hoover. representing the Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad at Pierre
as lobbyist. and Supt. bikes of the HUI.
ron division Of the North Western rail-
road were at Pierre ready to send word
to Sioux Falls the moment the govern
or signed the bill. P. w. Dougherty,
assistant attorney general, was relied
upon to get into action with the su-
preme court of tho sta at Pierre.
The state made a boz stroke ~

road people. The railroad representa-.

tives countered by stationing a man in
the secretary of states Office. Outside
a carriage waited to carry the railroad
men to the telegraph station. Restless.
~ all afternoon the three men paced
up and down the corridor of the CAPT
tOl building. The state has an advan-
tage in that the supreme court sits in
Pierre, while the railroad lawyers had
to wait in Sioux Falls until they could
get word from Pierre. But the state
was compelled to have some one at.
tempt to buy tickets at two cents in
Pierre before it could obtain a writ
of mandamus to compel the roads to
obey the law. So it was evident that
it would be a close race.
The moment the last pen scratch on
the bill had been made, the railroad
men leaped in their carriages and made
for the telegraph station.
At the Sioux Falls office, an opera
tor was nervOusly holding an open
wire from Pierre. At 3:+5 o'clock
came the message:
Gov. Vessey signed 2-cent fare bill
at 1876 o'clock"
the news had been teiephoned to the
federal building and there the wait
ing attorneys scrambled to their feet
and presented their applications for
temporary restraining orders to Judge
Garland.
The federal court record shows the
first injunction was issued at $50 p.
nj.
Meanwhile at Pierre a representa-
tive of the state was telephoned to
attempt to buy tickets at two cents.
The railroad agents were deliberate
and it took time to get word back to
the state house. Then the dignity of
the tribunal does not comport with
fast moving.
The result is that the record of the
supreme court shows that the order re-
curing the railroads to comply with
the law was made at $3.50 p. m.
The two courts had taken action at
precisely the same moment in Sioux
Falls and Pierre.
Attorneys will not predict the out.
come. The fact that the ace to the
courts ended in a tie does not mean
that neither will hear the case. Per
haps the determining fact will be that
the restraining order issued by the fed.
eral court is returnable March l, while
the supreme court ordered the rail
roads to show u thereon March 8
The case will come up first in the
federal court. Perhaps the court will
say since it cannot be shown hat the
supreme court took jurisdiction last
Wednesday before the federal court
the federal court will act.
In the meantime the agents of the
railroad companies are without instruc
tons. nder the law they are liable
to a fine of $500 or Imprisonment every
time they sell a ticket at three cents
a mile. The agents say that they have
received no instructions to change the
price of transportation and that they
will make no change until notified
