come up to progressive standards in his
votes in the senate, and his last elec.
ton was secured through his combi-
nation with Senator Crawford, who
was candidate for governor. Mr..
Richards has the credit of being a
'stalwart progressive" and having
been so ever since the beginning of
that movement, but has never held an
office except on the Huron board of
education for five years. While some
of the progressives think he is entitled
TO further recognition, others of that
faction are bitterly opposed to him.
He is now in the limelight through his
primary bill which will come mp for
adoption or rejection at the next gem
eral election, through its enactment
by he initiative, and his candidacy fer
the senatorship is probably for the pur-
pose of bringing the primary issue
along the lines of his bill squarely to
an Issue in the primaries.
Gov. Vessey has been mentioned in
connection with the senatorial situa-
ton, but his close friends say that the
governor will taboo politics at the
close of his present term and again
take up business life, instead of at
anything further in the way
Of political honors. He will no doubt
hold prominent place in the councils
If the party and assist in future cam
oaigns by his ability as campaigner,
Is shown in the past, but he will not
rive the time or the necessary expense
o another campaign for further polit-
cal honors for himself

Friends

The sunshine and blue skies are fine,
I'm thankful for the flowers,
For they are truly gifts divine
To cheer this world of ours,
But flowers droop and skies turn gra
And oft the sunshine ends:
Gods greatest blessings, so say.
Are friends.
The river gently flowing by,
The rolling meadows green,
The mountains towering to the sky,
The valleys in between
Are all part of Gods great scheme
On which our joy depends,
But greatest of them all. deem
Our friends.
] glory in summer day
And in the morning sun,
But when my cares are put away
And all my tasks are done.
When low the shades of evening fall
And night time fast descends,
Most thankful then, am / for all
My leHus.
When sorrow comes and grief is mine,
And hope is lost in gloom,
lis then that friendship comes 20 shine
Within my darkened room.
lis then that consolation sweet
My bitter woe attends,
For God has made this world complete,
With friends.
Good friends! Gods greatest giftto man
That's how they seem to me.
The keynote of this wondrous plan
To cheer humanity.
Out of his mercy infinite
hold the best he sends
To I'LL this world with love and light
Are friends.

The LAZY Husband, Law

Among the 500 new laws enacted by
the late progressive legislature in Cali
fornia there is one that seems to fill a
really long felt want. They call it the
lazy husband law" If its practice is
anything like its promise it is likely
that forty-eight states will have one
just like it shortly after Arizona and
aew Mexico have been admitted to the
union.
The new California statute is intend
ed to deal with the case of the able
bodied husband and father who is
too strong to work for the support of
his family. There is no community so
small or so thrifty that it does not con-
tain such man. There is nothing the
matter with him but Incidence. He
never has been exposed to attack by
the newly invented hookworm. There
is nothing bad about him as a rule.
Sometimes he drinks and sometimes
ne doesn't. Lew Dockstader, the
minstrel. made big hit by singing
song about father in which he was
described as sitting around all day,
feet in front of the fire, smoking his
pipe of clay, while mother and Mary
Ann kept busy at the washtub and
ironing board. But that is not the
lazy husbands whole program by any
means. Often he is found hanging
around the livery stable or the cigar
store. III large building is under
construction or street is being paved
with asphalt he can be found leaning
against something for hours at a time
meditatively watching the other men
work. Sometimes he makes a bluff at
wanting to work, but in that case he
never succeeds in finding a job that
suits him or that he can hold. Some
how or other the fact has dawned
upon him that man can get along
without working If he has positive
geEius for it. Frequently mother is
willing to do the work for the whole
family. Often the children can be put
at work. In any event . civilized COM
munity never lets folks starve to death
because of shiftlessness. If the lazy
husband will not support his family
the community will. The community
may think it worth while to ''vag" the
delinquent, but that doesn't hurt his
feelings 3 bit. He can still eat and
sleep and sit around all dav. Which il

The License EIectinns


In list of 20 towns and cities il
South Dakota, 80 voted Tuesday il
favor of license, and 20 voted against
license. In the list of license cities i.
every one of the leading cities in the
state, including the state capital which
reversed its verdict of last year, anc
the university city of Mitchell which
cast very heavy majority for license.
Mitchell is also the home of Superin-
tendent Grafton of the Anti-Saloon
League, who took very active part in
the campaign at Mitchell, but with the
same results which usually attend his
campaign work-defeat. The result in
general was defeat for the ''drys'
for while there were changes back and
forth. the general result showed gains
for license, the number of license towns
showing an increase and the majorities
for the license being in the main larger
that they were last year.
1t is the opinion of the Mitchell
Republican, and we are inclined to
think it is right, that the passage by
the last legislature of the 9 O'Clock
closing law, was an aid to the friends
of the license system. The Republican
points out that in every community are
a certain contingent who always vote
wet and another contingent who
II
always vote dry" Between these
two in all communities where the mat
ter is an issue is smaller number of
voters who hold the balance of power.
The Republican puts the number of
these in Mitchell at not over 400 and
perhaps not over 200. The side which
gets the support of these voters is the
side which wins.
This being so, the voters who hold
the balance of power are less offended
by saloon which closes at 9 o'clock
in the evening than by one which keeps
open until ii. Hence, as the Republi-
can says:
For one thing, the 9 o'clock closing
law passed by the last legislature
undoubtedly had its influence upon
yesterdays license elections. By TAX
ing two hours from the selling day of
the saloons land those two hours from
the very time when drinking is most
likely to be excessive the legislature
has in effect made the saloon less
offensive to a considerable number of
voters. Without question this is not
the effect intended for the law by its
progenitors, but it is mere matter of
observation to ascertain that it has
had such an effect on public opinion. ("
More rigid regulation of the saloons
and strict enforcement of the law have
clearly tended to increase the license
vote in South Dakota and to decrease
the Prohibition vote. Those who favor
rigid regulation, in place of attempted
abolition of the saloon, have been gain
ing in Numbers in South Dakota. as
was shown by the defeat last fall
OF the country option submission. and
Is the outcome of last Tuesdays cleo
tons. The prohibitionists NAV have
accomplished something for temper |
ance by the 9 o'clock closing law, but |
they certainly have not accomplished |
anything for prohibition. Sioux Falls |

One saloon Town in Clark

As the result of the recent municipal
elections, Clark county will have but
one saloon town the coming year,
license having carried in Vienna by a
majority of nineteen. Last year
Vienna went dry as the result of a
wager. Several saloon adherants feel
ing certain the town would go wet"
made a wager to that effect with GER
tain prominent license men. These, in
order to save their money, voted dry
with the result that Vienna repudiated
the saloons by six votes. Evidently no
Jokes were INDUCED in this year.
