The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1910-11-03

Next Tuesday will be election
day, and every citizen owes it to
himself and to the public, to record
his vote on the men and issues as
his judgement dictates. It is not
our purpose to give advise to the
voters as to the candidates that
| they they should shooaalsas vete for The candi-
dates have all been nominated by
popular vote at the primaries, and
may therefore all be considered
competent for the Offices they seek.
In selecting a candidate for an
Office where a principle is at stake
the personality of the candidate
will, and should be, subordinate to
the principle. In the selection of
congressman the principle is always
important, and especially is this
true at this time when the danger
is 80 great of electing a congress
that will be antagonistic to the ad-
ministration. Congress men Burke
and Martin have both shown by
faithful service that they are loyal
to the administration and to their
constituents. In state and county
affairs the campaign has been list
less, owing to the fact that there
have been no vital issues at stake
strong enough to arouse public in
terest. Other things being equal,
a party candidate is entitled to the
support OF his party, but the oper-
alton of the primary law has had
! the effect of weakening party ties,
so that the result in close precincts
! is problematical. What interest
has been aroused centers largely
around the constitutional amend
ments and referended laws. OF
these there are six amen dments
and six laws.
Of the amendments, one provides
for leasing of the school lands. At
present they can only be leased
for pasture and hay purposes, but
it is proposed to permit the leasing
of them for agricultural purposes
as we'll. This would seem to be a
wise change.
| Another provides for removing
the constitutional limit on salary
of attorney general, permitting the
amount to be fixed by the legis-
lature. AS the present limit is only
$l000,-too small to warrant the
best of attorneys to accept the Of
fee, this also seems to be advis-
able.
i The next is the woman suffrage
amendment and The best advise we
can give is to ask your wife.
Another provides for raising the
limit of bonded indebtedness on
municipalities for the purpose of
installing municipal water plants
sewerage systems, electric light
plants, etc. We see no great OBJ
lection to this amendment.
The most important amendment
proposed is the one covering the
revenue feature. This is so am
biguous that the best attorneys
disagree on its meaning, and the
safest way is to defeat it and let

the next legislature provide some
thing more comprehensive and
more definite.
The last one is for the purpose
Of preventing the establishment of
any more charitable, penal, edu-1
cational or other state institutions
unless authorized by a vote Of the
people. This may be all right. but
it should have been adopted twenty
years ago.
There are also six referended
laws, as follows:
1st The county option law. This
law has been fully discussed, and
while we do not share in the hope
full views eof some temperance
workers, that 1t would either make
Incorporate people more temperate
nor that it would result in making
it any easier to enforce temperance
yet the question is simply one Of
expediency and every voter will
have his own ideas regarding it.
2nd Requiring all locomotive
engines on passenger trains to be
equipped with electric OF other
headlights of not less than 1900
candle power without the aid Of a
reflector. AS the electric lights
are about the only kind that can
develop such candle power with
out using a reflector, it virtually
means demand for electric lights.
This law appears to be in the freak
class.
3rd Authorizing the governor to
suspend and remove, state, county,
township Or municipal e GERS
This is the so-called czar law, and
is altogether too arbitrary for a
republican from of government
4th Embalmers' license law. The
present law requires all embalmers
to secure a license, but this license
is secured from the state board of
embalmers. The new law places
this under the direction of the state
board of health, and would make it
necessary for every embalmer in
the state to get a new license. The
embalmers contend that their as
sociation is better fitted to handle
that profession than the board of
health, and therefore they oppose
the law.
5th The new militia law. We
have read few yards of this law,
and are ready to plead ignorance
on it.
9th Providing for the division Of
the state into two congressional
districts. We would oppose this
law for two reasons. First because
the proposed division is a gerry
mander, and second, because the
new census just taken will prob
ably entitle us to three represent
atives instead of two. If so new
districting will be required before
the next general election any way,
and the proposed one is therefore
useless.

DR.. J. A. Egan, secretary of the
state board of health, of Illinois, is
experimenting with a new serum
for the cure of infantile paralysis.
Two victims of the disease are now
recovering under this treatment,
and other tests will be made. If
the remedy proves successful it
will be another great triumph of
medical science.

ted in by Senator Haight, and

DR.. Nelson could expect vic
tory in the foot race, knowing
how we'll the Senator runs n

comprehension. The reading ol

by the large audience which
gathered at the Tabernacle, anC

An Interesting Meeting Sunday Evening.
The Fourth Ward Improve
ment Association held an inter
estinS meeting Sunday evening,
upon the lawn IN front of John
N. Prices residence. Postmas-
ter Robinson presided, and the
exercises were highly interesting
and instructive. The solo rem
dered by Loren Robinson was
well executed and highly appre-
ciated. Mr.. Hunter. a mission
ary who has but just returned
from his labor in the south,
spoke briefly as to the religious
tolerance of the South as COM
pared to that shown in former
years. Edward H. Hale, w h O
was the principal speaker of the
evening, spoke eloqueDtly and
well of his own experience in the
mission field, and the power and
influence of ancient and modern
revelation. The music and sur
roundings, in conjunction with
the beauty of the evening, made
the meeting an enjoyable one,
aside from the instructive and
edifying remarks of the speakers.

FAR-FETCHED JUSTIFICATION.

- In order to make illustration of the
himsy ground upon which the Mormon
leaders will proceed to work out their
plans in suppression Of their "cnc"
miles, we give the following brief eX-
tract from the charter of the city of
Nauvoo, Illinois:
Sec Z To make regulations to secure
the general health OF The inhabitants. TO
declare what shall be a nuisance and TO
prevent and remove the same,
IN letter written TO Governor Thom-
as Ford by Joseph Smith, mayor Of
Nauyoo and president of the Mormon
church, under date of June Il, 1874, this
section was pleaded as justification for
the destruction of the plant of the Nau-
VOC Expositor. That paper had severe
ly criticised Joseph and his associates
of the church leadership, and it was
therefore looked upon as Il menace to
the general health Of the inhabitants
of Nauvoo. Upon that ground it was
declared a nuisance and removed The
removal came at the hands of lawless
tools OF the lawless church chiefs, Upon
orders received from the mayor (Joseph
Smith), a gang of Danites went to the
EXpositor office and threw out the types
and presses, burning all copies of the
first and only number of the ENposltor
TO be found upon the premises. All
this was doue 'to secure the general
health of tho inhabitants Of Nauvoo.
But that was not the latest exhibition
of intolerance exhibited by the Mormon
chiefs. Brigham Young adhered to the
Nauvoo precedent for many years, driv-
lug out of Utah or crushing within her
borders all those who opposed him or
criticized him, There were few in
stances, of course, in which he failed to
do this; but they were very few, and
their existence is due TO the fact that
Brigham S efforts in these cases were
directed against men who were equally
determined and much more courageous
than he. Joseph +. Smith, the present
head of the church. once thought 10
visit upon The Tribune the fate that
had befallen the EXposItor, but he fell
short in his nefarious purpose. Iii
sermon In the tabernacle he urged the
saints to arm themselves and to pounce
upon The Tribune, which he designated
as "a dirty, damnable. blackguard
sheet that wouldn.' Y be tolerated in any
other community And only because
The Tribune had criticised the law
breaking practices of Smith and his as.
sociates.
However, 1t appears that the Mormon
people had another thought occur TO
them at the close of Joseph F's ser.
mou-they didn 4 follow his advice. pre-
ferring To let the heather rage and to
take no personal chances.

CHINA S NATIONAL COINAGE.

The announcement that China has
ordered the stoppage of all coinage by
the provincial mints and has decreed
national coinage on the decimal sys.
tenn, is an item of interest to hnanciers
throughout the world, This imperial
Chinese coinage is to be entirely of sill
yer. The new Chinese silver dollar Will
be worth at present exchange value
of silver, 1885 cents in American
money. Expressed in Chinese terms,
it would be on the basis of seven mace
two camdereens to the dollar. There
will be four silver coins, the dollar,
the half-dollar, the quarter dollar, and
the dime There will be the 6ve-cent
coin in nickel, and the copper coinage
of cash as heretofore, except that
all Will be from the imperial mint in
place of the provincial mints. There is
no uniform coinage in China now and
the best known measure Of value is, to
outsiders. what is known as the Hal
kwan tael. The provincial coinage is
not much known outside of the prov
ince in which it is minted, and it huc.
tuates largely in value IN different parts
of the empire. Chinese brokers make
IL large portion of their revenue in cx-
changing these provincial coins.
1t would be supposed at first sight
that this would make an immediate and
heavy demand for silver; but the silver
market does not respond in the least
to the announcement. For, China Is
unable TO put into immediate effect on
any large scale, the imperial coinage
system covered in the decree. In or
der to issne the coinage on any eX.
tcnsive scale, large deal would have
to be made for silver; but there is no
ntimation that any such deal is on
foot. To get the silver, the Chinese
Government would probably, have to
issue considerable loan. Another
trouble would be TO dispose of the pres
ent provincial coinage. This would be
a matter both difficult and slow, Doubt
less the new arrangement will be put
into effect gradually, the Imperial Gov
ernment calling in the provincial money
as it is able 10 handle it, and TO issue
the new coinage in exchange. So that
the eiict, while official and pcremptory,
Is net likely to make any Immediate diff
terence in the silver market, either as
TO price or TO demand But eventually
there must be q considerable call for
silver to fill out this imperial coinage,
The silver now in China issued by the
mints in the several provinces, will
doubtless be taken in as fast as prac-
tcablc and the metal reiSsued in the
imperial coinage bat it will take time
and there is no likelihood of any imme-
diato benefit to the silver market by
reason Of this new money plan Of the
