THE NEW APPoRTIoNMENT.

THE NEW APPORTIONMENT.
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: The
people of the state should use the
! referendum on the bill passed by the
last legislature dividing the state
into congressional districts. Whether
or not, a serious attempt will be
made to invoke the referendum, we
do not know, but it certainly should
be, and if some one would take tho
initiative, there would be no trouble
to secure the invocation. An effort
vas made to attach the emergency
clause to the bill in order to defeat
the referendum, but it is our inform
alton that the bill did not secure the
number of votes required for the
attaching of the emergency clause
nor could it have defeated the re-
ferendum If it had for the courts
would no doubt have to hold that
the constitutional provision giving
the referendum to the people can
not be defeated by attaching an
emergency clause to a bill which un-
der the terms of the constitution,
carries no emergency.
The congressional district bill was
a purely factional measure. 1t was
first undertaken to put Mr.. Martin
and Mr.. Burke in the same district
so that at least one of these trouble
some stalwarts could be got rid of.
1t had been shown that the people
want them, and SO the reformers
tried to make it impossible for the
people to have them. The bill which
passed was boosted by Frank NJ.
Byrne, of Faulk county, H. c..
Shober, of Hyde county, and by state
senator Ewert, of Hughes. Each one
of these wants to go to congress-,
and no one of them is willing to
make his appeal to the people of
the whole state. Hence the adoption
of a measure dividing the whole
state into congressional districts
right on the eve of the re-apportion-
ment after the census of 1910.
The congressional districts are
like man; they are "fearfully and
wonderfully made" Under the bill
as passed, Roberts county which is
the extreme northwestern county in
the state is in the same district VII h
Fall River, which is the extreme
southwestern county of the state.
There are no two counties in the
state which are further apart, and
still they are put in the same con-
g%ressional district, simply for par
tisan advantage.
After the census is taken in 1910,
South Dakota will have three con-
gressmen. Then it will be necessary
to divide the state into districts.
There is absolutely no need of doiag
it before, except that, doubtful need
which ome from fractional emer-
gency. ~
We hope to see this law subjected
to the scrutiny of the referendum.
The referendum should also be in
voked on other bills. So long as we
have the referendum we should show
our appreciation of it by making lib
eral use of the provision. Then If it
is a good thing, as our populist
friends insist it is, we will find it
out, If it is a bad thing we will also
make that discovery. Certainly in
this case, the referendum should be
invoked to give us two years time
in which to think the thing over.
After we have duly thought it over.
the state will have to be divided in,o
congressional districts anyway, for
the new census will give us three
congressman.

CANADA IS TRAINING
SCHOOLBOYS TO DRILL
Report From Consul General John C. Foster Says High
Commissioner Has Given $250,000 for Encour-
agement Of Military in the Schools

The Canadian government is giving
increased attention TO the encourage
ment Of physical and military training
in the public schools. A recent report
from Ottawa by Consul General John g.
Foster. tells Of plans which have been
formulated.
Lord Strathcona. the Canadian high
in London, has given $780,
900 for the encouragement Of training
along physical and military lines in
the schools of the Dominion, and has
suggested plans for its administration
He would have it taken charge Of by
body OF trustees composed of the
minister Of militia as president, and
the ministers who deal with education
in the various provinces as vice presi-
dents. Money grants are TO be allotted
proportionately TO the school popula-
ton Of the different provinces.
The Washington times., 1909-08-11

Lord StTathcona states that he con
siders physical and military training,
including rife practice, of the highest
value in developing the moral. physical
and intellectual qualities of children,
as well as that valuable quality known
as patriotism. He says that he attaches
the highest Importance to the advan-
Lages Of physical and elementary drill
for all children Of both sexes, being
especially anxious that the special value
OF the military drill. including rife
shooting for boys capable of using
rifles. should be constantly borne in
mind. The object of this, he says. is
not only &c help improve the physical
and intellectual capabilities OF The chill
dren by intoxicating habits of alertness.
Orderllness and prompt obedience, but
also TO bring up the boys TO patriotism.
and TO realization that the first duty
Of a free citizen is TO be prepared to
