WE'D IN HARDING COUNTY

From the Republican of Ralph,
Harding county, we get the following
account of the marriage of two young
people, we'll known and popular in
this county:
AT Hettinger on Tuesday last, at
100 p. m. occurred the marriage of
Miss Florence Mcknight Of White,
South Dakota, and Frank Lucas of this
place. Rev. w. H. Tullis, pastor of the
NJ. Z. church, a the officiating
clergyman who tied the nuptial knot
~pronouncing the ceremony which unit
ed the lives Of these estimable young
people. The wedding was a quiet one,
witnessed only by immediate relatives
The bride vas becomingly attired in
white marquisette, while the groom
wore the conventional black. After
congratulations had been extended a
three course supper was served at
Hotel Lafayette and the evening very
pleasantly spent in a social manner
THE bride is the eldest daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Mcknight of White,
South Dakota, and although some
what of a stranger in this part, is a
young lady of many accomplishments
and very popular among her acquaint-
noes.
"The groom is the only son Of Mr..
and Mrs. John Lucas of this place,
and also ONE from White where he
grew to manhood. He came west with
his parents about three years ago and
filed on a homestead near here and
has since been engaged in farming.
He is one Of our most respected young
men and his numerous friends here
will be glad to know he and his bride
have decided to remain among US and
make their future home on his farm
near here.
"The many friends of the happy
young coul lie extend their heartiest
congratulations. wishing them a long
and happy welded life."

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

There is a good deal of talk of a
constitutional convention for South
Dakota, for a general revision of our
fundamental law and several prospec.
tive legislators are investigating the
feasibility of such a proceeding. Just
now Ohio is spending 5000, 900 for a
constitutional convention, and the
Oklahoma convention cost more than
a hundred thousand, but these are
simply examples of useless waste of
public money. The present constitu-
ton of South Dakota was the best ex-
preston of the thought of America
upon the subject that ever was com
piled up to the time it was made and
it cost the taxpayers less than $14,-
600. The revision of it in 1889, paid
by the general government cost near.
ly 100000. The makers Of the consti-
tuition sat IS days; the perfunctory
revisors of it sat SO days and did
nothing except TO cOnSummate the
agreement for division of property and
debts with North Dakota. 1t is a fair
conclusion that a new convention
would not cost more than the latter
sum, $50, 900, if the proper restrictions
were thrown about the organic act.
There are many points in which at
this time a constitution could be i'm
proved and two or three Of prime i'm
portance. The spirit of the times de-
mands a more responsible government
and that a only be brought about by
placing the power in the hands of the
governor and holding him to account
ability for the welfare of the state.
The short ballot principle is the thing,
If the constitution is revised it should
responsible to the people subject to
recall, and give him the power to ap-
point all subordinate officials, pre-
cisely as the president appoints the
members of his cabinet.
Our county governments are alto
gether anomylous, without any re-
sponsible head and there is nothing to
hold the county officials to the dis
charge of their duties except the
statutes which define what they shall
do. We believe the public service
would be vastly improved were we to
elect the county commissioners and
clothe them with power to appoint the
county officers, and make the commits
sioners directly responsible for the
conduct Of county officers.
These are a couple of lines upon
which we believe the constitutional
convention could act and through it
save to the people the cost of the con-
vention many times every year.

GILLETT IMPROVES ROADS

glowing terms of the good road work
done by Harry Gillett on the road past
his farm north Of town. Mr.. Anderson
says that Mr.. Gillett has put in con-
siderable time dragging the road until

STATE HON0RS

STATE UNIVERSITY WINS ANNU-
AL FIELD AND TRACK MEET
AT HURON
STATE COLLEGE A POOR SECOND
Brookings Boys Do Not Perform Up to
Standard Expected-Special Train
Accompanies Track Team.

The State University team easily
won the annual track meet of the col
leges of the state held at Huron Fri
day and Saturday. Brookings was a
rather poor second, just beating Yank-
ton by one point. The standings were
as follows: Vermillion, So; Brook
ings, "a; Yankton, %; Huron, IA;
Mitchell, II.
While it was not expected that the
Bookings team would be strong
enough to win over Vermillion, it was
thought that the meet would be much
closer. The poor showing Of two or
three OF our athletes upset calculations
and We were fortunate to win the Sec
ond honors. Brookings has a young
team, one that will be much better
with a years experience, and with the
Coach Temple will undoubtedly de-
velop a winner for the next annual
event.
Following is the summary:

When the Indians travelled together
they seldom walked or rode two or
more abreast. but followed one another
in single file. 1t has been thought by
some that this practice resulted from
the lack of roads. which compelled
them to make their way through woods
and around rocks by narrow paths. II

tice. then we should expect to find that
the tribes who lived in open countries
travelled In company. as do whites.
The true reason for journeying as the
Indians did in single file seems to be
feeling of caste. This feeling was
at the bottom of other customs Of the
Indians. 1t made their women slaves
and rendered the men silent and unsO-
