CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
Congressman Martin Suggests Plan
For Redistricting

Pierre-Congressman f. w. Mar
tin expressed his views concerning
the reaiignment of congressional dis
tricts in South Dakota in a letter to a
friend in this city as follows:
' Il would suggest that the state di-
vide itself naturally into three dis
tricts by making all the territory west
Of the Missouri river into one district:
all north of the north line of b fac
Ierauld, Sanborn, MINER, Lake and
Moody counties into another, and the
southeastern portion, including all
south OF the line referred to into a
third. Doubtless in numbering the
districts the order would naturally be
reversed in recognition of the oder
portions of the state.
This sort of division would meet
the requirements of the law, which
provides that each district shall con-
tain as nearly as practicable an equal
number of inhabitants. (See Act of
January 16, 1901. Vol. 2, Suppl ment
of the Revised Statues of the U. S.
Chapter 90, at Page 1852 Each Of
these districts east of the river would
ontain a .ar@cr population now than
the western half of the state, but he
western half is growing much m r.
rapidly than either of the other, and
t would be only a matter Of two or
three years until the western hal
would contain as much or larger popu-
alton than either of the other Two
districts.
You will observe that the popula-
ton of the state at the present tim"
is $50, SSS. The population in 1900
was 401 $40. an increase OF lS231S or
t5.4 e cent. The population east o
the river in 1900 was 345 $50. The
population east of the river ct the
present time is 443,272. an increase o
27.a12. or an increase Of 2S per cent
The population west of the river IN
1900 was $3.50. The present ropNla-
lion west of the river is 14O,6l6, an IN
crease of 81 SOS. or an in rCasc we I

to be accomplished this winter. Upon

Washington, Dec. 8.-The total popu-
lation of United States as revealed by
the thirteenth census is expected to
be announced by census bureau on De-
cember 10. =,
Counting Arizona and New Mexico as
states the total for twenty-eight Of the
forty-eight states already have been an
nounced. The grand total for twenty
six of these states is 60,036, 759, which
is a gain of between twenty-one and
twenty-five per cent over the popula-
tion in these states in 1900. At this
rate of increase the total population of
the country should be about 81, 1000, ,000.3
The most striking development of the
census as so far shown is the relative
growth Of cities and industrial centers
as compared with the farming regions.

at that place.
Mr.. Miller was running n jewclry re-

one of his lady friends at Ambrose.
which ring Mr.. Darling charges Miller
with stealing. Miller however, claims
that he put the price of the ring in the
money till before taking it. As Darl-

without authority, Miller was turned
loose. Corey says that no warrant was

Burke defeated Johnson by less than

bet he would have under 1000 have

States Attorney Fred Andrews, with
probably some outside assistance,
will defend the case for the county.
There is no question but that the can
vassing board acted according to the
Law. in not canvassing the precincts
where elections were illegally held, and
there is no doubt but that they will be
able to convince the court of that fact.
Judge Goss will not be able to act, he
being candidate at the recent election,
and Hon. A. G. Burr of the ninth judi
cial district will hear the arguments in
the case.

TO LIMIT THE
USE OF KNIFE

A bill will be introduced in the next
legislature providing that any surgeon
who shall perform an operation for ap-
pendicitis and thereafter be unable to
prove that the appendix was in a dis
eased condition, shall be guilty of NAL
practice and punishable under the penal
code.
The bill is being fathered by Phillip
Schuch, Jr. and number of medical
practitioners throughout the state, who
hold to the theory that the appendix
has function to perform in the human
body and that operations for it's remov-
al are due in many cases only to the
surgeons love of his science and desire
for large fee.
Schuch, father o f the bill, whose
mother and wife died following opera
tions which he feels to have been un-
necessary, says in regard to the bill:
"This is civilized age and the time
has come when the criminal use of the
knife by surgeons must be stopped.
