Official County Paper
TIME FOR A PROTEST

The Sioux City Tribune says
1.-The Tribune has been In receipt OF
u mass OF reading matter prepared and
sent out by the committee represent
ing the national association OF liquor
makers and dealers and has read with
me pleasure their resolutions depre-
eating the evils OF their business and
Their determination to remedy them
by discOuraging the disreputable ele-
ment and by supporting laws Intended
10 minimiz. il not eliminate the ad
mitted evils. The association thu.
acknowledges that serious evils AT,
tend the vending of intcxicanis and
evidently wishes TO have 1T conducted
on the aame lines as other business is
transacted.
Two laws, enacted by two states,
should then have the cordial support
of the association and It's members.
One OF them is the anti-treating law
of South Dakota whose effect, II en-
forced or if sustained by public
opinion, will prevent that excessive
use that inevitably attends the notion
that it is disreputable to drink alone
and the other one that an accepted in
vitat'on to drink involves the exten-
sion OF counter invitation"
However, as it happens, announce
ment has been made that the referen-
dunn is to be invoked against the anti
treating law passed by the last legis-
lature and thus its operation is TO be
postponed or possibly defeated. The
national association OF liquor-makers
should take notice. If it is their fond
est hope to abolish the evils of the
business, if they are striving every
where 10 obtain the laws and law en-
forcements against practices that
make the drinking OF liquor debasing
instead of refreshing, then their
enemies must be at work in this state
Under circumstances, some nigh,
think it surprising that this mOvemen,
against the anti'treatiug law has moi
brought from the liquOr-makers de-
nuncatiOn OF the prOhibitiODis's OF
the anti-saloOn league. Evidently
mischief is busy agaiast the lofty AS
pirations OF the brewers OF beer and
the distillers of whisky. We In South
Dakota are awaiting the appearance
of their agents and their literature In
defense of the anti-treating law. SILL
we will hardly agree to hold our breath
in the meanwhile. Sioux Falls Pres.

MANY QUESTIONS UP TO VGrRRS At
THE NEXT ELECTION.


The late legislative session provided
six constitutional amendments to be
submitted to the people at the next
general election. Probably the most
important OF these is the new revenue
amendment, which, while following
the lines of the amendment on that
question which was submitted at the
last election, is different in some of its
main features. First, it leaves the
question OF Limitation OF tax levies Just
where it has been ever since the state
constitution was adopted. 1t adds
features which provide for taxation OF
licenses and franchises; taxation of In
heritahces; taxation of incomes. 1t
adds TO the exemption class, parsOnag-
es and residences OF heads OF denomi-
national schools.
The second amendment proposed to
place it within the power of the legis-
lature to Tx the salary OF the attorney
general.
rha third is the equal suffrage
amendment, which leaves it to the
voters to say whether or not they want
unrestricted suffrage 10 the state.
The fourth authorizes Independent,
school districts 10 increase their limit
Of indebtness for the purpose OF con-
s,ructing schoOl buildings.
The fifth proposes an ad ditiOn to the
constitution which will require the
question of creation of new state inst
tutions to be submitted 10 vote OF the
people of the state before Legislative
action in that direction can become
effective.
The sixth proposes an amen6men
allowing the leasing OF slate schoo
lands for agricultural purposes, as wei
as for hay or grazing, which is its linn
itation under the constitution as i
stands.
Besides these constitutional amend
ments, the question OF county local op
tiun will be again submitted through
the initiative and the referendum. [
is more than likely that several OF tn
enactments OF the session will also b
placed before the people through th
referendum before the time for sue
action has passed, but it is yet early I
locate just what moves win be made |
that direction.

GOMPERS SUBMITS DEFENSE ID PEOPLE Only Two Courses Are Left to
 Federation MAKE GENERAL APPEAL Or Abandon Further Effort To Fight Courts Decision Altogether-Says He Will Be Satisfied With
 Any Plan Adopted.
MAKE GENERAL APPEAL

Washington, January 11.-President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor is in favor either of making an appeal to labor and its friends for nec- essary funds to be used in prosecuting an appeal from the recent decision of Judge Wright in the contempt case or of abandoning it altogether
 Tn view of the industrial depression and the large number of men unem- ployed it Is most improper for us to levy assessments" said MT. Gompers today. We should eith CT make an ap- peal to all labor and our friends for such voluntary financial contributions a s they can make to the enormous eX- pense of the legal defense of our case, or we should authorize the abandon ment of any attempt at defense and ap- peal. Which ever course you may de- termine is the wisest or more practi- cable or inevitable is entirely agree able to me, and l shall willingly abide by it."
 This decision was made known by MT. Gompers at the meeting here of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor President Com pers declared the Federation had prac- tically exhausted all of its available funds that the money in the defense fund is unavailable and that only one of two courses was open for them. President Gompers said that counsel for the Bucks Stove and Range com pany in an address" before the Cftt- zens' alliance one of Van Cleave'S or ganizations, some months ago boasted of his achievements that the legal ex- pense in these suits had already amounted to $19.0O0. and yet more to come.
 Mr Gompers stated that Justice Wright refused on several occasions the request of John Mitchell, one of the three defendants, for a postpone ment in rendering his decision. MT. Mitchell based his desire for a delay on the fact that he had never before been away from home on Christmas and that it was his desire to be with his family at that time.

SWISS BALLOON WINS.
International Contest for James Cor
 don Bennett Cup.

London, January 11.-After a lively dis cussion of five hours, the International Association of Aeronauts at their first session here today, by a vote of Ss to 1S, decided in favor of the Swiss balloon Helvetia as the winner of the interna- tional balloon race for the James Cor don Bennett trophy in Germany last De- tober The question came up on pro- test filed by the Aero club of Great Britain against the German decision awarding first place to Lieutenant Colonel Schaeck, the commander of the Helvetia, the claim being made that the British balloon Banshee was the rightful win ner as she made the descent on land while the Helvetia was picked up in the North sea after having been lowed for two hours.
 The decision was based on the fact that the rule disqualifying competitors for descent on sea was made three months after the entries for the race were re- ceived. This ruling implies that the next international contest will be held on the continent.

IN CELEBRATION OF VICTORY OF
 ANDREW JACKSON AT NEW OR LEANs-REVlEWs DEMOCRATIC HISTORY.

Omaha, January 1.-The Jacksonian club of Nebraska tonight celebrated the victory of Andrew Jackson at New Or leans with banquet at the Paxton hotel, at which William Jennings Bryan was the principal speaker. Mir Bryans subject was What of the Night
 He reviewed the political contests of the last P years, showing how the democratic position had been vindicated by events and declared that the party had been dominating influence in political thoughts. He described in detail the influences which were most potent in the late cam- paign, namely, a larger campaign fund, an army of government employees drawing their salaries from the treasury; three fourths of the newspapers or more against us. and the coercive powers of concentrat- ed wealth.
 He advocated the organization of perma- nent democratic clubs in every county, the establishment of democratic papers in every community and the continuation of educational work as tine things neces- sary for future democratic success.

"The kentuckian."

Hal Reid, who has been very successtul as a playwright, began a weeks en- gagement at the Bijou theatre last night in his latest play. "The Kentuckian," melodrama of Kentucky mountain life, with plenty of local color and gunplay in abundance. The story of the play has to do with the love of Dave Morton and Dixie Bryant. Dave belongs to one mountain faction and Dixie to another, between whom deadly warfare has been declared The feud is raging with un- usual venom when the story opens and the complications caused by these fam fly differences and the troubles Dave and Dixie have in finally reaching an under standing are depicted in four acts of a drama that is not without interest and has several good comedy characters. The mountaineer of magazine story and novel, that picturesque and "shootiferous' in dividual who is law unto himself, has been pretty well portrayed by MT. Reid and he has succeeded in making his play seem in the main true to life.
 The staging of "The Kentuckian' is very well done and there is all the moun- tain atmosphere one could desire. The work of the star compares favorably with that of the better melodrama actors and he has the support of company that is above the average. Bertha Belle Vest brook as Dixie Bryant. Annie Ashley as Blossom Master Martin as Major Bill Witter the redoubtable fire-eater, who eats no fire. and D. W. Merket as "Ole Man Henry. acquit themselves well. MT. Martin as the old ex-Confederate manages to make the part decidedly entertaining.
