THE RErEREnDuM.

CUSTER CRY, s. D., Jan. 8, 1911.

CUSTER CRY, s. D., Jan. 3, 1911.
To the Editor Of the Custer Chronicle =
Sir: The application of the Referen'
dunn to certain laws at the recent Gen
eral Election has made manifest, defects
in the present referendum law, defects
which it is the object Of this article to
endeavor to point out remedy.
It has been shown that the present
referendum involves heavy expense
in publication charges and the prepara-
ton of ballots, and adds undesirable
complexity to the system of voting. In
the last election it caused usto have bal
lots seven feet in length, and there is
possibilitg that future elections may
produce ballots even more cumbersome
and with still greater attending expense.
The excessive length of the issues as
presented to the voters defeats its own
purpose of giving information on the
subject matter, for the reason that few
voters have the time or inclination TO
read the legal matter thus presented to
them, and to form their own opinions
from it. 1t would be matter Of some
interest, if it were possible, to find out
how many people in our county read the
ballots on which they voted or the pub
lished accounts of the laws on which
they cast their votes.
Another serious objection is, that
when a meritorious law has the mis-
fortune to be on ballot with other laws
that are decidedly obnoxious to the ma
jority of voters, that law is liable to suffer
for the company it is in, and be voted
down in general sweeping mo" from
the electors, who mean to make sure OF
hitting the right one, by a shotgun load
covering the whole flock.
The remedy l would suggest is, that
when such petition has been presented
as would at the present invoke the refer.
endum, then the law shall be suspended
until the next session of the Legislature
following the next General Election, at
which session it shall at once be brought
up for ratification or repeal.
The newly elected Legislature to
which the measure would be referred
would be body, the members of which
have had ample opportunity to learn
the feelings of their constituents with
regard to the measures they would be
called upon to review, and believe
could be trusted to act in accordance
with the sentiments of the people on the
subject. In the case of an obnoxious
measure, they would be less than hu-
man if they did not make its condem-
nation part of their campaign for elec
ton, and thus the law would obtain as

OBITUAR Y.

The death of John Hoy on Sunday
night, December Is, 1910, came as mer-
ciful release from weeks and months of
severe suffering. From his first seizure
several months ago it was evident that
Mr.. Hoy was suffering from no slight
ailment, and as the weeks came and
went, the trouble became more and more
apparent and more and more serious,
until on Saturday of last week he lapsed
into Inconsistencies and 80 slept life
away.
Mr. Hoy was born at Louisville, ST..
Lawrence county, New York, about so
years ago. He came to Massachusetts
in early life and lived in Cambridge,
previous to his coming to Ipswich, which
he did about % years ago. By trade,
Mr. Hoy was painter, trade which
he has followed at the Ipswich Mill the
past 20 years. He was faithful, indus
trious and expert workman. Indeed,
faithfulness in all relations in life seems
to have been the keynote of his char
acter. AS one of his friends said of bin
after his death, "He was a man all
through, nothing too good can be said Of
him." In home, business, fraternal and
church relations, be was loyal and true,
and always to be depended upon. As
his immediate family, he leaves wife
and four children, fve children having
preceded him to the land of Eternal
Silence. One sister also, Mrs. Harry
Joyce of Argilla Road, is living in Ip-
switch.
For several years Mr.. Hoy has been
connected with the Ipswich Fire De-
partment and at the time of his death
was for number of years member o.
Steamer Company No. and of Genera
Sutton III. and L. company, and also o.
the Firemen's Relief Association. He
was very much interested in the Massa
soft Lodge A. o. U. W., in which he hal
held important offices. In his church
he was an important member of th,
Society of the Holy Name.
Funeral services were held from st
Joseph's church on Wednesday morning
when Rev. j. III. Donovan, rector of st
Joseph's celebrated the solemn mass o
requiem. The Fire Department and tn,
Relief Association attended the servic
in body. Interment was made at tn,
Highland cemetery. - Ipswich MASS.

mess with them and move out to camp
On entering this camp, which wa
located in the heavy timber near tn,
river, we saw the occupants, Blackwell
and McLaren, cleaning guns and shoot
ing at mark. Blackwell was large
swarthy complexioned fellow, while hi
partner was quite the opposite in hi,
entire makeup. They had the appear
ance of men that were enured to hard
ships-that their lives nigh have beer
spent on the plains or trapping and
hunting in the Northwest. To our un
sophisticated minds they had the ap
pearance of being thorough western
rangers and would be especially adapted
to the trip in view; and of course would
be excellent and desirable primers, and
we were anxious 10 form mess with
them. Consequently we talked the mat
ter over with them, but they secuted
the idea of taking six months provi.
sions, declaring they would not be en-.
numbered with such load, for at Black
well declared, "Mack and can live as
the Indians do, when we get into their
country and We intend to go, if We are
compelled to 60 alone". AS Johnny and
/ insisted on taking six months rations,
We could not agree and did not form a
mess together.
The men who were coming in were
from all points of the compass and
mostly all strangers to each other. We
soon found couple with whom we
joined and in short time had selected
our entire outfit. One of my mess
mates lived in Sioux City and had
crossed the plains to California in an
early day. He was very rugged in build,
weight about 200 pounds, never worried
or got the blues, understood camp life
and was, therefore, good hand to take
the lead in the selection of an outfit
such as We were in need of and we
gladly entrusted the selection of our en-
tire equipment to r. r. Whitney, OIL
Whit, as he was invariably called.
Our other partner was little slim
swarthy complexioned telegraph opera,
tor, from Danville, Illinois, by the name
of Harry Cooper. He was about my
own age and size; and so far as looks
went, We might have been taken fol
brothers. His dress did not indicate 9
man used to outdoor work, nor did his
general makeup betoken a man Injured
to the hardships of frontier life anc
more than one had remarked during oul
stay in the city that that little chap look
ing as though he had just come out of 6
handbook, would make a poor stick tc
depend upon when it cane to the rea
hardships that we would certainly bt
compelled to meet. But subsequent ex
periences proved the old saying to bt
true, at least in this case, THAT you dc
not know a man until you have crossed
the pains with him" If the trip is &
long Que and made under trying anG
unfavorable conditions, as most of thest
journeys are, but few of his short-com
ings will remain unexplored at the enc
of the journey. AS we meet the sterr
realities from day to day, the real man
hood is exposed. No h am M ng o.
hypocrisy can cover it up.
