Sioux Falls juries are getting to
be something of a joke. Two cas-
es recently decided by juries in
that city are really amusing. A
short time ago case was brought
against a person who had been
violating the Sunday amusement
law. There seemed to be no doubt
that the law had been violated, but
apparently in the minds of the
jury the law was unpopular, SO a
verdict Of not guilty was returned.
Another case is that brought
against Joe Kirby, an attorney of
Sioux Fails, for violating the state
game laws. Kirby contended that
the law was unconstitutional and
to test it went duck hunting with
out taking out hunters license.
The game warden brought action
against him and the case was tried
before a jury last week. Kirby de-
Tended his own case. He admitted
that he had been hunting several
times without license, and even ex-.
hibited one of the ducks chat he
had shot and had had stuffed, but
the jury returned a verdict of not
guilty. II may be that the law is
unconstitutional, but that is a
question for the courts to decide
and not for the jury. These cases
simply illustrate the impossibility
of enforcing a law that is unpopn-
lar. We hear many charges that
our courts are corrupt, but what
can a court do when the people,
when acting as jurors, will bring in
such verdicts

II was argued that with hides on

was granted. Hides were put on

cided that it will be necessary to
raise the price Of shoes ten per

ting pennies in the box for the

In defense Of the large state ex-
penditurea Gov. Vessey says:
Are we going to be niggardly in
our appropriations for state insti-
tstions and other measures for
building Sp the state, or are we
going to be- progressive ard make
South Dakota on a oar wi h the
most advanced states in our union |?
Are we going to make our state
one OF which our citizens can be
proud ? WHAT'S our responsibility !?
The Hu1onite comments on the
governors remarks thus:
The tax payer will not be dis
posed to grumble if public money
is paid out for improvements that
satisfy demand, for the creation of
things that are needful, that con-
tribute to the comfort of the unfor-
tunate, the discipline of the crimi-
nal, the mental upbuilding of the
youth of the commonwealth.
He will not, however, feel like
endorsing policy that places mar
ble staircases in a charitable lnsti-
! tuition, while the inmates of an in
stitutioD for the criminal class are
obliged to take their three meals
day in crowded, lily lighted and
generally uncomfortable apartment.
This cumstance is employed on
ly as an illustration of public liza
bility to expend money where it is
not needed and neglect the places
where it is neelea, which is not
wise administration of affairs
Neither is it excusable to create
official positions for the mere pur-
pose of providing places that are
salaried for good political workers.
The enlargement Of the board Of
charities and corrections might be
cited as an example in that class.
The expenditure Of public money
fer necessary and beneficial things
within the financial resources Of a.
state, is never seriously criticised.
But if much or little money that
comes out of the pockets of the
people is invested in betterments
or appointments that are not need
ed and are not beneficial, protest
will follow.

Liz meetlng OF 6talWaft repub-
iicans was heid sc Huron Tues
day, obedient to the call issued by
the previous meeting held at Wa
tertown. There was no lack of en-
thusiasm and when the meeting
assembled at the opera house about
800 were present. Every county
except two or three was represent
ed, some of them, particularly the
northern and eastern counties, by
large delegations. A brief session
was held st eleven o'clock at which
Sol Starsof Deadwood was .elect-
ed chairman. A committee on
resolutions was appointed and an
adjournment taken to 2:3O p. m.
On reassembling while. waiting
for the resolution committee to re-
port the convention listened Il,
numerous short addresses among
the speakers being E. r Abel,
Sam Elrod, John Lockhart, Con-
gressmen Martin and Burke, Elk
Senator Kittrdege, Charlie Dsy,
John Longstaff and others. In all
of these speeches the sentiment
was expressed that no compromise
could be thought of that required
surrender of "true republican,"
principles, and the enthusiastic ap
plause plainly indicated that these
sentiments were endorsed by the
gentlemen present. The resolu-
tions proposed by the com mittee
were unanimously adopted by the
conference. Under the call issued
for the conference it was proposed
to endorse list of candidates for
the various state Offices, but on the
wisdom of this there was difference
of opinion. While it seemed ap-
parent from the individual senti-
ment expressed that majority
favored such action. there was a
strong opposition, led by the two
congressman to the naming of
ticket at this time. The objection
seemed to be that such action
would be in spirit if not in letter,
violation of the primary law, and
the conference yielded to this de.
mand. This did not indicate that
any were opposed to the placing of
candidates in the field, but simply
showed a difference of opinion as
to method.
In order to facilitate the organi-
zation Of the state for the primary
battle, committee was appointed
consisting of one from each county.
Mr.. J. G.. Simmons of Aberdeen
was elected chairman of this COM
mittee, and was given authority to
select his own secretary. 1t was
evidently the purpose to organize
for systematic campaign to be
waged until the primaries based on
the principles as enunciated in
the resolutions. We haven't time
or space to give the resolutions in
full this week but will do SO later.

CARTER INDICTED
FOR MURDER
IN COURT At ABERDEEN
THE TIME AND PLACE OF TRIAL WILL
Be DECIDED UPON THIS MORNING
By JUDGE MITCHELL

An indictment against John T.
Carter for murder in the first de-
gree was returned by the grand
jury Tuesday afternoon in Aber
deem. 1t will be remembered
that DR.. r. p. Wendell was kill.
ed by Mr.. Carter several months
past in the Clopton hotel at Alb
erdeen over a difficulty made by
visit of DR.. Wendell to Mrs.
Carter.
The place of trial was to have
been decided upon yesterday but
was carried over until today,
when Judge Mitchell, after hear
ing the evidence submitted in
support of the application for a
change of venue, will decide
upon the place and time.
That Mrs. Carter, wife of the
prisoner, will go on the stand for
the defense is believed, although
neither side has announc ed It's
course. She cannot under the
law be put forward by the state
to testify against her husband.
She will make no statement now
Her story of the night of the
tragedy will be one of the GEN.
ters of interest in the trial about
which the hottest legal fight Alb
erdeen has probably ever seen
will be fought. Mrs. Carter is an
attractive young woman and will
undoubtedly make a remarkable
witness. One thing is certain,
DR.. Wendel's character, will, by
dozens of witnesses, be drawn
for the jury full length and in
admirable proportion. The pros
ecution belives there is no proof
that can turn the motive of his
visit to Mrs. Carter's room or an
act while there from that of
strictest professional duty.
With the most vital moves OF
both sides unknown the case pre-
sents mystifying features, the
chief one which seems, if Mrs.
Carter testifies for her husband,
and his fight is on the unwritten
law, what will she say?

BODY OF BABE FOUND

The body Of a new born babe
was found near the river front
on College street last Monday
morning by two negroes, Ann
Billups and Curtis Guyton.
They Immediately reported the
discovery to the city officials and
brought the dead body to the

other officers they discovered the
legal parents of the child, who
were respectable white people.
The baby which was premature
was born Sunday morning, the
mother was attended by one of
the local physicians. The father
gave the baby to a negro man to
bury, but for some unknown
cause the negro left it where i'll
was found Monday morning.

Al Edwards Case Set.

Aberdeen, Miss, March Is. -
The Al Edwards murder trial was
today set for Friday morning,
when the brother of the man
sentenced at Starkville last May
to life Imprisonment for killing
DR.. A. F. Richardson at Sturges,
will face the same charge. with
fifty or sixty witnesses to exam
inc. The trial will consume at
least a week. Counsel for Ed
wards expect to prove the self
defense theory by witnesses
swearing the pistol of Richardson
and not the shotgun of Dyke Ed
wards fired first, and that none
of Al's shots hit Richardson. In
the long transcript now in the
hands of the supreme court, the
prosecution asserts that All being
the instigator of the murder, is
the guiltier of the two.

Panama Canal Exposition.

Washington, March 14.-Urg-
ing New Orleans as the best
place in the country in which to
hold the proposed exposition in
1915 in celebration of the COM
pletion of the Panama canal, a
delegation of business men from
the Crescent City today called
upon President Taft, after which
they went to the capitol. They
did not see Vice-President Sher-
man, as he was out of the city,
but saw Speaker Cannon, whom
they invited to New Orleans to
the proposed exposition, as also
the House Committee on Expo
sitions.
The members of the delegation
from Louisiana were entertained
tonight at the National Press
Club. Both President Tuft and
Speaker Cannon infor red the
New Orleans business men who
were headed by Gov. Sanders
and Mayor Behrman that the
selection fer city for the expo
sition was a matter for Congress
to decide, but that they had n(
doubt it would appropriate the
necessary money. President
Taft told the delegation there
was no city inthe country that
personally, he would feel more il
favor of than New Orleans.

DUCEd AND UNDERSTOOD TO Be FA-l
V0RABLE TO PRESIDENT
WHITFIELD

Jackson, Miss, March 16. r.
The Industrial Institute and Col
lege will get $264, 3O3, if the ap-
preparation bill, as reported by
the house committee, is finally
passed. The committee reported
the bill yesterday, and a cut of
about S26, 900 was made from the
original bill. A cut of S18, 600
was made in the building fund,
while an appropriation of $75, 900
was made for a new dormitory,
which will have apartments for
the teachers and a dining hall.
This will reduce the cost of the
several buildings asked for the
institute, and is understood to be
favorable to President Whitfield.
The item for student labor was
eliminated, but included in the
genera support fund. which is
fixed at $79,0 coo, including this
addition of $5, 900. But the COM
mittee did not allow for the
flower garden or horticulture de-
partment, but So, 500 was allowed
to finish and $1,000 to furnish
the new gymnasium. An appro-
priation of $4,000 was allowed to
finish and ST, 600 to furnish the
new library. The college farm
and model home were cut off,
but S4, 900 was allowed for better
bathing facilities, and by pro-
viding for the new dormitory,
$4,000 was saved in the teach
ers' home fund.
Fifteen hundred dollars was
allowed for Y. w. c. A. secre-
tary, but the extension work
fund was reduced from $3.50 to
$500, and provision was made for
a new heating system to cost
$4, $50.
