Law Affecting Marriage

Aroused by the impurity,
criminality and unftness of many
who come before him for the per-
formance of the marriage vow,
Rev. Daniel NJ. Brown, pastor of
the Congregational church at Lead
and moderaor of that denomina-
tion in South Dakota, will 90 be-
fore the present session of the
legislature and seek the enactment
of one Of the most stringent laws
ever proposed, but which he claims
is justified by existing conditions.
The main provisions of the law
which he will propose are as fol-
lows:
81. No person having been di-
vorced, shall be allowed to re-enter
the marriage relation until the
lapse of one or more years after
the date of the decree of divorce.
%. No marriage shall be
solemnized until public notice,
setting forth the intent of the
parties to enter the marriage has
been published at least two weeks
or more in the leading newspapers
of the county in which the marri-
age is to take place, or If there is
no paper published in the county
notice shall be posted in some
public place two weeks or more
preceding the date of the marriage
service.
''3. No person who is a common
drunkard, habitual criminal, epi-
leptic, or afflicted with tuberculo-
sis in its advanced stages, or any
contagious or hereditary or ven.
ereal disease shall be legally allow.
ed to enter the marriage relation.
A certificate from an accredited
physician certifying that both the
bride and groom are eligible te
the marriage relation shall be re.
qnired."

Each year designated by odd
numbers, like the present, marks
a farming point in the lives of some
men, for they are the years follow
ing the elections, and their begin
ming sees changes made in the
official families. We read one day
last week of a man in q neighbor-
ing state who had stepped down
and out of county Office after some
twenty years of service, because a
younger man had been elected in
his stead. The old man was loath
to retire, for what could he find in
the way of work or pleasure that
would make the waters of his life
flow as pleasantly as they had in
the past two decades9 He'd for
gotten everything he knew OF
work, except to keep the Office
books. BY which we are lead tc
the belief that q man should no,

a part of western Armstrong coun-
ty. Schnasse county has only
twenty-five townships, and the laws
of the state provide that no county
organisation shall include less tn IN
twentyfour townships. The people
OF Dupree want to organize the
county, and land the county seat
if possible.
The elimination of the floating
vote" nuisance and incidentally
trouble for the average forgetful
voter, is attempted in a resolution
for constitutional amendment,
presented in the senate by Wright
of Beadle. He propCs sed a poll
tax qualification, and requires the
receipt to bear the date of thirty
days or more before election.
w. II. Grafton, of Mitchell,
president of the state anti-saloon
league, is one of the registered
lobbyists. He is looking after the
interests of prohibition and any
possible liquor legislation that will
be enacted. He will try to get the
subject of statewide prohibition
before the voters at the next cleo
tion.
Representative Stuverud, Of
Codington, ran up against the bust
ness end of a hatpin worn by a
woman with a hat of the dishpan
variety, and suffered disfgure-
ment of his face in consequence,
He will introduce bill classifying
mongul hatpins as dangerous wea-
pons, and seek to have a penalty
commensurate with such an otfense
attached.
1t has been proposed that a
junketing trip be taken by the
legislators later in the session, to
determine if the state has an anti
treating law. Since Pierre is a
desert, SO far as booze is concerned,
a good excuse is furnished for the
excursion.

South 0akota's Capitol

The South Dakota legislature
meets for the 10Th biennial session
in the new capitol building, in
directly gift from the national
government, and costing practi-
cally 100000. There is no hy-
perbole in the assertion that South
Dakota has been fortunate in the
construction of her capitol and has
as much to show for the money ex-
pended as any commonwealth in
the union. Artistic conception,
substantial construction, harmoni-
Gus and inspiring color scheme are
some of the features of the struc-
ture for which the national govern
ment set aside tracts of land at the
time of the formation of the boun-
daries of the present state. 1t is
big enough, but not too big; it will
accommodate itself to enlargement
as the needs of the state demand it.
Exchanging the surroundings of
primitive simplicity and baroness
in the old halls of legislation for
those of more imposing and inspir-
ing attractiveness in the new, the
18th session of the South Dakota
legislature will find it matter of
pleasure to pursue its deliberations,
and the people of the state as they
consider the improved conditions,
will have well founded reason to
expect results of even higher
character in legislation than in the
past.
The Tribune congratulates South
Dakota on her new capitol. Its
cost has been small comparatively
speaking, it's dimensions are in
accordance with present needs and
it does not suffer in any compari
son with the capitols of other older
and richer states.
To one visiting it for the first
time it contributes an added sense
of the dignity of the people of the
state who have thus expressed
themselves in permanent form in
the creation of the head of their
government buildings. Sioux
City Tribune.

Bureau or Railroads or Both?

1t is well that you consider at
this time the fact that we have
done and are doing practically
nothing in the way of advertising
for the state, and although we
have made remarkably rapid
development during the past few
years, the fact remains that an
effort toward giving the state
publicity would have accomplished
much.
Our sister state, North Dakota,
has been spending a liberal amount
for the past ten years for advertis-
ing purposes and statistics show
that she has made gain in popu-
lation of SO.8 per cent, while we,
although we are more favorably
situated in many respects and es-
pecially for the raising of corn,
and although we have a large min
ing industry, and have thousands
of acres of land waiting to be
titled, and innumerable resources
practically undeveloped, still we
have made a gain of but 45.4 per
cent during corresponding period
of time. 1t seems to me that now
is an opportune time to change our
tactics and get into line.
The above is a part of Governor
Vessey's message, and is something
to which we heartily subscribe.
The western part of the state has
thousands of acres that should be
under the plow, and we presume
the way to get them in that condi-
tion is to advertise that we need
settlers.
But great portion of these idle
lands lay miles back from railroads
and the necessary markets. If we
are going to get people out from
the east to farm these lands we
have at least got to offer them a
chance. sometiu e, of convenient
railroad facilities. South Dakota
legislators have for years been
hammering it to the railroad in
terests, until the time has come
when we offer capital the poorest
returns on such an investment of
any northwestern state.
An immigration bureau would
be a mighty good thing. A more
complete network of railways over
western South Dakota would be
better. A settlement of the ever
lasting fight on the railroads would
help to start South Dakota grow.
ing much faster than we have in
the last decade.
Let us add, North Dakota hasn't
been riding the ''anti-railroad"
hobby horse. That accounts for
some of the marvellous growth
there.

THE LEGISLATIVE GRIND
What the Solons of the Twelfth Session
are Doing

The question of legislative appor-
tionment looms up as one of the
hard knots for the session to unite.
rs it will be hard to get an appor
tionment which will give the west
ern part of the state it's due, unless
the older counties let go of some
of the strength which they have
held in the past. Senator Bartine,
of this district, has been named on
the senate apportionment COM
mittee, and Representatives Millett
and Sutley, of Stanley and Lyman,
are on the house .apportionment
committee. They will at least be
in position to see that this section
gets what it is entitled to in the
Encouragement.
Governor Vessey has recon-
mended, in a special message, that
a legislative committee of five be
named to investigate the trouble
at the soldiers home in Hot
Springs. The commandant is
charged by citizens of Hot Springs
with gross mismanagement.
The first copies of the Richards
new primary bill have made their
appearance and are being scanned
over by interested parties. One
of it's main features appears to be
to provide for party factional
tickets, with a circle at the head
upon the primary ballots.
Senator Bartins, of this district,
was given assignments on the COM
mittees on apportionment, counties
and towns, interpretations and rail
roads. He is chairman of the
railroads committee.
A bill embodying a measure of
more than local note is the one in
troduced Friday at the behest of
the people of Dupree, calling for
the placing of the old name of
Ziebach on the map as q county
name. If the bill passes it will
create county to include all Of

The explosion that wrecked the
general electric power plant in
Minneapolis a few days ago threw
the printers of that city onto their

for their linotypes and other

their linotypes. They were in

Since the elections last fall it has

Since the elections last fall it has
become apparent that the big men
of the minority cannot agree among
themselves. The democrats might,
within the near future, be able to
change national policies to the
satisfaction of some of our re
formers" but for the fact that the
family is adiscordant one. Which
proves that the terms, Insurgent
and Regular, are synonyms, are
not confined to party lines and are
but human traits differing man
from his neighbor. They are the
traits which enter into every phase
of the business life and either one
or the other must dominate until
the end of time.

A Promising Future

In a resume of present condi-
tions in the state. The Dakota
Farmer said:
Just now Dakota is living in the
dawn of a beautiful day. Many
new railroads are building to open
up the heretofore thinly settled
parts, and to bring together Sec
tions that have long been strangers
because of the lack of them.
Farming methods are just being
developed, and new grains, and
other forage crops brought ou,
that promise to more than double
our safe farming area. The vas,
possibilities of intensive farming,
fruit growing, dairying, etc., in
the great tracts being brought un.
der irrigation and dry farming
methods, are fast beginning to
dawn upon our people.
All along the line the Dakotas
are advancing as never before; anc
with more money than ever before
to do business with, more exper
ience, and far safer places in which
to spend their money, we look fol
returns within the next few years
that will not only astonish the en-
tire world but will surprise, anc
most agreeably, our farmers them
selves.

Congressman Martin writes to
Franklin that he is working with
the interior department to have
some ell. transferred from the
Yellowstone park to the Black
Hills forest reserve. He suggests
a change in our game laws to pro-
tect them. This would readily be
secured, but in the opinion of this
writer the elk would be driven out
by the great number of hunters in
the Hills every fall, whether the
elk were hunted or not. If a
government reserve could be
fenced for elk in the Hills they
would thrive and increase no
doubt, for this was their natural
habitat. A year or two ago pri-
vate parties seriously considered a
proposition to fence a large tract
about fifteen miles west from Rap
id City and stock it with elk, and
it may be the plan is not altogether
abandoned, though nothing has
been heard Of it of late. 1t is al
together feasible. If the depart
ment should take favorably to Mr..
Martins suggestion the growing
of elk in the Black Hills could be
made an undoubted success.

Patrick j. Gallagher and his
sister, Miss Ellen c., narrowly es-
capped what in all probabilities
would have been very serious in
jury, last Saturday night, as they
were returning from visit to the
Harrison K. Harvey home north
east of town. They were coming
down the long hill east of town,
and at the samT time met a team
coming up at the very steepest
point. They turned out of the
road to pass the coming team,
when the horses they were driving
became frightened at some objects
near the roadside and Pat turned
them off down the hill to avoid an
upset on the side hill. 1t was SO
dark that he did not notice just
what part of the hill he was on
and drove over the high bank into
the road below. As a consequence
the buggy turned turtle throwing
Pat out after which the rig landed
on him. His sister became en-
tangled in the top which was up
and sustained some very severe
contusions about the forehead and
eyes. Outside of the above both
escaped further injury. The team
after tearing loose from the buggy
made a beeline for home while Pat
and Nell made the rest of the trip
in the ever safe and sure walking
style. Pat says that this big hill
is the only place in Stanley Go.
where he has ever had a runaway,
and he has driven nearly every
