The resolution in favor of the direct
election of u. S. senators was lost In
the senate last week by a vote Of 54 to

could not be expected that bunch OF
men favoring election by bribery and
other corrupt methods, as the present
senate did in the Lorimer case, would
dare trust their political inter

But there is great hope for this

THE GOOD ROADS BILL.

The Issenhuth good roads bill hay
ing passed both houses of the South
Dakota legislature and signed by the
governor, is matter of much inter-
est 10 township superv sors and Others
who will have to make preparations
to conform to the provisions of the
law. The bill as finally passed was
modified by the good roads commit
tee of the house and introduced by
them
There is no hurry about preparing
to work under the bill as it does not
contain the emergency clause, and
will not go into effect before July /
By that time assessments will have
been made, the township annual meet
ings would have been held, and little
can be done until the next March
except making the township and
county levy.
The bill gives the township govern
ments entire control of all road work
and expendi ure Of road taxes for
ny work which in one piece OF
stretch of road does not exceed $500.
| The taxes collected under the new
law will be paid into the township
treasury to be expended under direc.
tion of the township board. The of.
| flee of road overseer is done away
with and the township board will
name one of their number TO act as
road supervisor for the township. He
will be paid S3 90 per day for the time
he puts in looking after this work.
As The Press has stated the law is
a county option measure and if the
voters of any county desire 10 reject
it, they must file petition with the
county auditor before July this year
otherwise it will go into effect al
that time. If a petition of ten pei
cent of the voters of the county is
filed with the auditor before that time
asking for a vote on the good roads
bill, its operation will be suspended
until it is voted on at the general
election in 1912.

Practically all the important In.
firmaries and hospitals in England
have their own electric generating
stations. and the size OF the installa.
tons would surprise the majority Of

designed with unusual care, owing to
the special conditions which prevail
in hospital work. Even where a pub

Independent system is justified on &C.
count of the security which 1t gives
against failure of current at q critical

He had been his evil genius, there
