again Nimrod, the attorney for the
defendant, demurIed to the informa-
tion on the ground that the court
nad no jurisdiction. The court sus-
tanned the demurrer, holding that he

If the holding of Judge TripD is COR
rect. tho state courts have very lit
tie jurisdiction to try Indians for
any offcnsc by and between Indians

that there would be u great many

not control the 'Waters-Picrcc Oil
company i by doing so they would
be action in defiance of the laws of
Missouri and the United States SUI
preme court.
The Standard Oil here applied for
q writ of mandamus compelling the
Waters-Pierce company to name as
directors three men who, it was
charged, would p~crpetuate the
Rockefeller domination in violation
of the supreme court order OF disco
luton.
Judge kinsey upheld the Pierre
contention that the issue IN the liti-
cation is whether the Standard Oil
is attempting to elect three employees
as directors of the Waters-Pierce to
the end that the Waters-Pierce inter
ests assert is the same oil trust in a
new guise.
Judge kinsey, in reversing Special
Commissioner McDonald's ruling,
handed down a decision which in
part follows:

DOTSON GIVES ADDRESS
TO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
s!OUX FALLS EDITOR SAYS PRO.
GItliSS is MAKING GREAT
STUDIES OF EFFICIENCY
OF MEN.

Ncrmillion, S. D. Students of the
University of South Dakota were Civ
I'm the privilege, last Wednesday, of
listening to an address, rendered by
Mr.. c. l.. Dotson. editor of the Sioux
Fails Press, on the subject of the
Economic Value of The Efficient
Man" Mr.. Dotson is Il newspaper
nan who is we'll known in South Da-
kota and other states and he found
an attentive and ap~prcciative audi
nee in the young men and
OF the University. Briefly. Mr.. Dot
sons remarks were as follows:
The question Of the economic
value of the efficient man is a large
one. 1t embraces every phase of hui
man activity; for where can you FIND
an industry, however small, which is
not seeking to better its condition
through efficient administration and
management. Railroads, shops,
factories. the farm, professional
firms, the great newspapers of IL
country-all are looking for the
man who knows how.
I'm speaking of the standards of
efficiency which governs our fore
most enterprises, We must take into
consideration the conception which
the passing generations have had of
this most necessary asset. The boy
of ten years, at the present time,
knows more than do the average nan
of fifty at the time when our faith
ers were young. PROCESS is max
ing gigantic slides and the standard
of efficiency must and does keep pace
with it. | recently heard some one
say that d college graduate is not
a good man to place at the head OF
a large daily newspaper. He was
right. Much as the people of this
country place confidence in the col
lege degree, at the outset it means
nothing in practical life. The grad
uate is no better off, when he takes
up the duties of life, than the mar
who has never seen a college. But
and here is cruX Of the whole situa'
ton, this same graduate, if he be
. nan Of worth and capable of ap
pj alton will outdistance the MAJ
VINO hasn't the college training i
tle course of Il very few years. III
las raised his standard of efficienc.
by acquiring the technical knowl
edge which your practical man prob
ably never can acquire; and jus
to that degree has the college MAJ
been benefited by his school work.
