State Laws Beet

That the Rapid Cry blue laws are
not as effective as the state Su day
laws was indicated by a test case
brought in the justice court in that
city. Chief of Polio Marshal arrested
Glenn Coverston, who conducts a com-
bination lunch room, bowling alley and
pool and billiard hall there, charging
him with remaining open on Sunday.
Justice Exline, before whom the case
was heard, decided that even if the
bowling alley was open and in opera
ton, since the pool and billiard tables
we're covered, there was no violation
of the local statutes.
Coverston was then arrested under
the state law, charged with keeping
open on Sunday a place where sports
were engaged in, pleaded guilty and
was fined 81.

Not 80 Easy to Get Book

A number of papers over the state
have published statements to the effect
that copies of the blue Book" of the
state are to be had on request, and the
offices of the secretary of state and
governor are being flooded with appli-
cations which they cannot fill. The
legislature was economical on the blue
books and cut the number to the lowest
possible limit.
While there are a number of the
books for distribution. they are in the
hands of the different members of the
last Legislative session, and those desir-
ing copies will do well to make eariy
application to the members from their
counties as any request to the state
department is only a waste of time and
postage, as the supply given to the
secretary of state is not for distribu-
ton other than by specific instruction
of the legislature as to the manner of
their disposal.

Troops Will be Returned

The indications are that by the
direction of President Taft the order of
the secretary of war abandoning Fort
Meade, as a military reservation will be
rescinded. Strong efforts to attain
this end have been made by members
of the South Dakota delegation. War
department officials have classified
Fort Meade as a political post"
They favor a discontinuance of the
smaller posts, consolidating the resour-
ces of the army in large posts near the
big cities of the country. The South
Dakota delegation insists that there is
as much need for the troops at Fort
Meade as there is at other posts. and it
is understood their arguments have
made an impression Of the president.
1t has been unoficIally announced that
the troops withdrawn from Fort Meade
at the time of the mobilization of the
army on the Mexican border will
return to South Dakota.

Indians Claim the Hills

That the Indians of TIE Lower Brult
reservation are IN earnest in their con
tention that the whites secured title t.
the Black Hills region of South Dakots
illegally, when the treaty Of 1876 was
negotiated, and hat the treaty was
illegal because signed by only a minor.
ity OF the Indians, and negotiated by
chiefs who were not authorized to
make the bargain, is shown by the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were adopted
at a conference held on the reservation
held last week.
Whereas a careful examination of a
certain treaty of agreement with ref
erence TO ceding the Black Hills
country was made, and
Whereas, it is the opinion of this
committee that from an examination of
the facts among the several Indians
interested in the aforesaid agreement,
it has been ascertained that the agree
ment of 1876 was obtained without the
consent or signature of three-fourths
majority of the adult male population
of the respective tribes, notwithstand-
ing it was required and agreed accord
ing to article 10 OF the treaty Of 1868,
and article 10 of the treaty of 1889.
THAT only a small percentage
thereof signed it. That the signatures
were secured through the war depart
ment and by meant of threats of
removing the Indians from their homes
to the Indian territory. That further
more, the agreement was not fully
read or explained to the Indians. That
the chiefs who signed said agreement
or treaty of 1876, acted individually
and not duly authorized to do so as it
is stated in the last clause of the head
ing of the treaty or agreement of 1876.
That some of the surviving chiefs who
had signed said agreement or treaty of
1876, herewith furnished a~ffidavits.
That the A%rapahoes, parties to the
treaty or agreement of 1876, were
away hunting at the tine and did not
sign the treaty or az cement. That
the Sioux nation hold tat the Black
Hills country and the surrounding
regions were never coded to the govern
ment and for which concession is now
demanded.
Nov, therefore, be it resolved, that
the treaty or agreement of 1876 is
illegal"
