ASK AMENDMENTS

MEADE COUNTY WOULD AM
MEND CONSTITUTION.
OTHER ITEMS Ot ,;::!EREST
From the Capitol City. the Various
State institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Pierre The county commissioners
OF Meade county have exercised the
right which many boards of commits
sioners assume for themselves, that
OF amending the state constitution
without tho trouble OF submitting the
question to the people for vote.
Their move in that direction IL res
olution in which they tell the voters
of Meade county TO go TO the nearest
polling place to cast their ballots re-
gcrdleSs of whether or not they reside
in the precinct in which that polling
place is located. OF course the intent
OF this is to prevent increasing polling
places in the county. and to allow the
voters to cast their ballots ut some
convenient location. as some OF the
precincts are so large that the voters
Will be compelled to go long distances
to cast their ballots in the precincts
in which they live. But as the consti-
tuition requires residence OF at least
ten days in the precinct In which the
vote is offered as one OF the qualiica-
tons of legal voter, if the resolution
Of the county commissioners is accept
ed. the voters will be playing "oif side
in lot OF cases. Ordinarily that does
not amount to much, but as the indi-
cations are for Il close vote in South
Dakota this year, and If the vote on
state officers should be as close as it
was in 1896 when some of them came
in winners with less than 100 votes,
and the man who got more than that
much majority on either side was in
luck, such situation as has been out
lined by the Meade county commits
sioners might mean litigation galore
before anything was settled, as to who
had secured the legal majorties, rs
precincts allowing such votes TO be
cast would certainly be counted ont on
contest.

CAN INDIANS SUE?
Judge Carpenter Holds They Can and
an Issue Is Raised

Dupree An important decision has
just been handed down by Judge G. G.
Carpenter in a Ziebach county seat, in
which Curley was plaintiff and Wet
Skirt was defendant. Both parties to
the suit arc Sioux Indians. and the
litigation arose over the ownership OF
- head OF horses. The attorneys for
Wet Skirt held that no Indian had
right to sne or be sued in the state
courts of South Dakota. but Judge
Carpenter overruled this contention.
and held the rights OF redskins were
in this particular no different from
those of their white brothers, and that
an Indian has perfect right TO appeal
to the state courts to protect his prop
erty rights. The decision is impor-
tant, in communities where the Indian
population is large, as 1t tends to set
tie the status OF Indian residents be-
yond cavil. 1t IS expected the case
will be appealed to the supreme court
for final adjudication.

THE MIkADo AS A LIVING IDOL.

That subject of obeisance to the
picture of the emperor of Japan is one
of greater moment than is perhaps
generally realized by occidenfals. On
his birthday all pupils are required to
bow before the imperial portrait in
some public patriotic exercises. all
pupils, that Is to say. in the govern
ment schools. 1t might he imagined
that this requirement is innocent
merely as a manifestation of simple
loyalty. The serious fact is that it
implies the very essence of abject
idolatry, like the worship which was
rendered to images of many of the
Caesars of Rome Worship of the
mikado as a god is the very keynote
of Shintoism. the national religion,
for this is far more influential than
Japanese Buddhism.
A recent incident at the missions
airy schools at Taku in Korea furn-
ishes vivid illustration The
Japanese officials there have ordered
that in the private as well as in the
public schools the obeisance is to be
performed, but the pupils in the mis-
sion schools refused to bow. The
teachers informed the officials that
the boys could not DO II, as they We're
young Christians. Then the officials
angrily abused the scholars, accusing
them of disloyalty to the Japanese
monarch. The teachers pleaded that
the boys We're loyal but showed 1t in
"a different manner. How" was the
|scornful query. by praying to our
God that the emperor may be wise
and good and prosperous" All

TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES
Informed as to Duties in Protection OF
Trees and Shrubs.

Commissioner of Agriculture John P.
Buckley is sending out the following
letter to transportation companies, ex-
planatory of their duties. as provided
by state law, in regard to the protec-
ton OF trees and shrubs:
Dear Sir-Our attention has been
called to the fact that certain trans
portation companies have refused TO
take shipments of strawberry plants
that have not been inspected. The
new law does not require the inspec-
ton of strawberry plants that are Of
fered for shipment.
We find also that there are many
packages of nursery stock shipped into
the State that do not bear certificate
of inspection made in the State from
which the stock was shipped, as they
should.
The following extracts from our law
in relation to the protection OF trees
and shrubs will give the duties OF
