CELEBRATION IS CIV
EN- WIDE ATTENTION
RESERVATION FOLK FROM FAR AND NEAR
MAKE INQUIRY INDICATING IN.
TEREST IN MATTER.

Preparations for Our Anniversa-
ry Celebration are moving along
in way that leaves little doubt
but what it will be a much bigger
success than few weeks ago was
thought possible. Inquiries from
Our neighboring towns as to the
different events and other particu-
lars, indicate that our sister towns,
and the people of the reservation
in general are going to help VS. put
this reservation affair over in great
style.
1t is particularly fitting that
Governor Vessey is to be the
speaker the first day. He is deep
ly interested in the present brave
struggle and future development of
this-west-of-the-river country. His
personal letters and those of the
Commissioner of immigration,
which has been sent out to COM
mercial clubs. newspapers, town
and county boards, urging public
improvements show how he and
the Bureau of immigration are in
terested in Our welfare.
What promises to be one of the
most interesting events of the two
days program will be the forenoon
parade each day. This will be
truly western with the noble red
man arrayed in all his fnery, CIV
en- the place of honor. The ball
games, rough riding contests
races, street concerts and numer-
Gus other lesser attractions, will
fill up every minute of the two
days.

BOARD OF IMMIGRATION
MAKES A SUGGESTION
URGE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS TO KEEP
PEOPLE EMPLOYED WEST OF THE
RIVER.

The Board of immigration,
through its commissioner, John D.
Deets, and in harmony with the
wishes of Governor Vessey. are
now engaged in trying to have
municipalities and counties under
take public improvements in order
to furnish labor for the people who
have suffered from the severe
drouth.
The circular letter sent out by
the department reads in part as
follows:
1T may appear upon first
thought, that the thing to do at
present is to retrench in public i'm
provements but a more careful and
candid consideration will demon
strate the truth and worth of what
we are trying to do. If you per-
NIT the region west of the Missou-
ri river to be depopulated, it will
injure your town, the county and
the state. Each one who returns
to his old home or seeks some 9TH
er new home, becomes an adver-
tisement against the state.
IF your county or city could
take up some needed public i'm
provement that has been deferred
for some time or that would en-
hance the region as residential
place, you would be accomplishing
four things at once; first. you
would be providing employment
for the homesteaders; second, you
can get the work done more cheap
ly than when labor is scarce; third,
your state, county and city will
get the direct benefits of their busi
ness, and, lastly, many who other
wise might have to resort to pub
lie charity for support, would be
cared for by this means, which
would cost no more than to supply
them with the necessaries of life
until next season. 1t looks to us
as matter of economy.
( Governor Vessey, who has just
returned from the east, saws money
can be secured for municipal and
other public improvements more
easily now than for some time past.
This is not a calamity howl but
straightforward business propo-
sition to demonstrate to the world
that South Dakota is able to care
for herself. You and | know the
conditions here are being duplicat-
ed all over the western states. The
drouth has not used South Dakota
alone as a shining mark. We will
pass through this season and come
out of it. smiling, ready for next
year, which will in all probability,
be splendid one. The one de-
plorable thing in this whole matter
is, the country was settled so re-
Gently that the homesteaders have
not had time to get ready for one
year of reverses.

stamp of our stern disapproval. If free
 institutions are to continue ours must be
 representative government. Government by representation is prin-
 ciple derived from the oldest customs of
 the Anglo-Saxon race. Students of Eng
 fish constitutional history can trace the
 existence of representative assemblies to
 every period of its national existence even
 to remote antiquity. From the earliest
 form of tribal government down, to the
 present day there was some form of leg
 isative assembly representing the people,
 framing their laws and assisting in their
 government. With all it's defects a rep
 resentative system is the best the wisdom
 and experience of man has yet devised.
 But assuming that venal legislators,
 entrenched in power, deny the statutes
 they should enact, and refuse to give ex-
 pression to the calm and deliberate judg-
 ment of the people, there is and will al-
 ways be found in the fiexibility of the
 common law, in it's adaptation of old
 principles to meet changing conditions, a
 source of power with which the courts are
 amply armed to curb the aggressions of
 special interests. The common law may define to be that code of fundamental principles essential to civil liberty and
 political freedom, the outgrowth of com
 mon custom and natural equity which were brought by our English ancestors to these shores and out of which the civil rights ana the political liberty of the English people was wrought and in which they are securely rooted, and whose harsh ness has been amelorated in the progress of an advancing civilization.
 "As the principles of natural justice and a sound public policy do not change, the common law, which springs from them, is not subject to decay, nor does it become obsolete with changing circumstances and differing conditions. It is today fresh in the vigor Of immortal youth,' as potent a living principle as it was when admnis- tered by Mansfield or by Hale. and in it's ample powers the courts will always find abundant authority to meet every need of government or society.
 However reluctant legislators may he to act it will be a strange case indeed in which in the common law principles to fit and to protect may not be found
 The Referendum
 "As corollary to the initiative, the referendum is proposed to complete the wreck of representative government, and as fitting device to securely accomplish the atrophy of legislative functions and to reduce legislative bodies from coordinate departments of government to a body of
 mere clerks engaged in performing minis terial duties. When legislatures are com pelled to submit their work to the ap- proval of the electorate there would no longer rest on the elector the duty of
