With the AL G. Barnes big three ring
wild animal circus which will give
two performances in Las Vegas on
Monday there is herd Of elephants
which does almost everything with
the exception Of talking. They oper-
ate a barber shop, run a laundry, play
ten pins, etc, besides their acrobatic
work. elephants come next to the
dog in smartness but it is rather diff
cult to teach them tricks because Of
their size.

to take steps toward building a

complishing any thing definite.
There we're 800 present, but there
were two routes proposed and no

engineers, and these to work with
one committeeman to be appoint

The town of Springfield will sub
NIT the proposition of adopting the
commission form of city govern
ment to vote of the citizens.
This system seems to work pretty
we'll in most instances but it seems
to create sort of unrest among
the citizens. Aberdeen and Huron
have each gone through recall
fight since they adopted it, and
Sioux Falls has just had contest
over the matter of reducing the
commission from five to three.
These contests may not be the
fault of the system but they are un-
fortunate, as they tend to create a
distrust of the sytem.

Mitchell a short time ago, has call
ed meeting to be held at Aber-

pose of putting a set of Roosevelt
delegates to The national conven-

the June primaries. The efforts to
harmonize the La Toilette and the

unite on one set Of delegates seems
to be failure. 1t is like mixing

Clifford Pinchot is making a sorry
failure in his efforts to discredit
President Taft and create sent
iment for Col. Roosevelt by appeal
ing to the farmers of the North
west against the Canadian recipro-
city treaty. There is not a charge
on these grounds that will lie a.
gainst President Taft that will not
apply equally to Mr.. Roosevelt.
On February IS, 1911, Mr.. Roose-
velt addressed the republican club
of New York city on this subject,
and in his remarks he said:
81 want to say how glad am to
hear the way in which the club
responded to the two appeals made
to them to uphold the hands of
President Taft both in his effort to
secure reciprocity with Canada and
in his efforts to secure fortification
of the Panama canal. And | hail
the reciprocity arrangement be-
cause it represents an effort to
bring about closer, a more init
mate, more friendly relationship
of mutual advantage, of equal
terms between Canada and the
United States"

The Roosevelt meeting at Mitch.
ell last week passed a resolution
favoring an amendment to the
federal constitution so as to pro-
vide for limited terms for federal
Judges. The Sioux Falls Press
comments favorably on this reso-
luton and says:
"With an expiration of his term
approaching every six or eight
years, he (the judge) will look we'll
to his conduct if he expects the re-
appointment which must surely re-
ward his faithful adherence to in
telligent principles"
Is it then the purpose to have
our courts make their decisions ac-
cordinR to intelligent principles, or
according to intelligent interpreta
tion of the law as it stands? Ii
there is anything that judge
should not do it is to have his
mind directed to his own popular
ity rather than to the faithful in
depreciation of the law. If the law
does not contain intelligent princi-
pies how can a judge be expected
to make it so? If the laws are not
right the place to begin reform is
not to strike at the courts which
construe them, but at our legisla-
tive bodies that make them.
