G.. w. Leise, of Glenham, form
erly editor of the Journal, breaks
into print and recommends certain
candidates to the voters at the
primary election, among them r.
F. Finch, of Ipswich, for state
senator. 1t is we'll known that
Mr.. Leise is opposed to j. w.
Harris, but his opposition to Mr..
Harris will not have much weight
when it is recalled that Messrs.
Leise and Harris had some litiga-
ton in the courts which was
several weeks ago decided in Mr..
Harris favor by the state supreme
court.

ONLY TRIAL JUDGES FOR SUPREME
COURT.

~ ~
South Dakota supreme court Nov
ember u, 1899, there have been
eight different judges on the bench
beginning with JUDGES Dignton
Corson. a. &. kellam and John f.
Bennett. At that time there were
but three members of the court,
out Of the eight mel who have oc-
cupied positions on the supreme
bench, three, Judges Bennett, KEEL
lam and Fuller, are dead. The
first change N the original forma-
ton of the court was caused by
the death of Judge Bennett and
the vacancy caused by his death
was filed by the appointment OF
Judge Fuller froIG the Sixth cir
cult bench. The next vacancy was
caused by the resignation OF Judge
kellam, which was filed by the
appointment of Judge Haney, trial
Judge from the Fourth circuit.
Both of these appointments were
made by Governor Sheldon. The
next vacancy was created by the
death of Judge Fuller, which Gov
ernor Crawford filled by the APP
pointment Of trial Judge Chas. 5.
Whiting, of the Ninth circuit.
When the legislature increased the
membership of the court to five,
Judge Ellison e.. Smith, trial Judge
OF the First circuit, and Judge j.
IL. Mccoy, trial judge of the Fifth
circuit, were appointed by Cover
nor Vessey. Every vacancy which
has occurred in the supreme bench
has been filled by the advancement
of a trial judge of experience to
the place. The court, as it is now
constituted, is composed Of Judge
Dighton Corson, with an expert
ence of twenty-three years on the
supreme bench; Judge Dick Haney,
with twenty-three years experience
On the trial and supreme bench;
Judge Ellison G.. Smith, with
twenty-three years on the trial
and supreme bench; Judge Chas.
S. Whiting, with nine years on
the trial and supreme bench; and
Judge j. Ii. Mccoy. with ter
years experience on the trial and
supreme bench. The rule has al
ways been to advance trial judges
when a change has been made for
any reason and it has become the
unwrittep law of South Dakota.
Since the court has been increased
TO five members the work is kept
up to date and cases do not lag
From April, 1909, to April, 1912,
since the court has been increased
it has handed down 520 decisions,
of which 100 have been the work
of Justice Corson, the first presid'
ing judge of the court.
These are five able AMI expert
enced judges, just and upright.
who have proved in long years OF
service their loyalty to the duties
intrusted to them. Their opinions
are cited with great respect in the
courts of every state. They repre-
sent nc political faction. no COM
bination and are a court whose
ability and integrity have beer
acknowledged by the courts OF
other states as inferior to none

c0NvERSES WITH ANIMALS


Charles Kellogg of California, who.
n not a naturefaker. is one OF the
most remarkable human beings OF all
time, arrived at Cambridge, Mass re-
Gently from Paris to confer with pro-
fessors from Harvard's department OF
science, confident that he could con-
vince them OF his ability TO converse
with animals. Mr.. Kellogg has JUST
returned from Europe. where he gave
demonstrations OF his unique power
before professors OF the universities
of Paris and Berlin. According 10
Mr.. kellogg, be has accomplished In
reality during a life spent in the wiids
OF the Sierra Nevada mountains In
California what the genius OF kipnng
makes Mowgi accomplish during
childhood passed in the tropical Jun
giles But Kellogg has for friends only
the animals OF the temperate Amen-
can west He knows not the language
of the tropical monkey. though he has
often talked bear" with the grizzlies
of the Sierra Nevsdas. Crickets'
squirrels, lizards and rattlesnakes are
some Of the other animals whose IAN
suages Mr. Kellogg speaks fuenty.
Says Mr.. Kellogg:
Tt was by years OF constant Cd
servation and associating Of sounds
With actions that | mastered the 10
animal languages I am familiar with
began on domestic chickens ana
gradually extended my study to In
clude such wild animals and reptiles
as the bear. the lizard and the rattle
snake. Using a system OF hieroglyph-
fcs modelled upon the modern Chinese
system, I have compiled a dictionary
OF the language OF the ordinary brown
or hearth cricket, which has the most
highly developed language OF any OF
the animals am familiar with, though
have reason 10 suspect the monkeys
are superior in this respect, From my
dictionary ! and there are u ele-
mental words or sounds. and S5 other
words made up Of various combina-
tons OF the original ~. a cumulative
system not unlike that Of the Ger
mans. The number Of words or sounds
IN other animal languages ! am IA
miliar with varies from IL TO s5."
Although Mr.. Kellogg admits that
his ability 70 interpret the enuncia-
tons OF animals Is the result OF long
and arduous study. he insists that bis
ability 70 make himself understood. to
smitate the sounds OF these animals.
Is God given. He says he can without
the least dfficulty reproduce any
sound that comes from an animals

FRENCH FISH GO ON A JAG

An unusual sight was witnessed at
lFrontignan, France. recently. The
ponds OF Faux Blanches and the Midi
Canal were covered with fish floating
about on the surface In helpless and
altogether inexplicable manner The
customs officials were the unwilling
cause OF this phenomenon They had
seized $4,000 gallons Of "doctored"
Spanish wine at the frontier station
and disposed of It by emptying 1t into
the canal, with disastrous effects on
the fish. The fish could be easily
caught with the hand and the local
fishermen were quick to take advan-
,taxe of their helpless state.
