Battery for Salisbury, Barton and D. McClain, also were "there with the goods" striking out seven men and allowing twelve hits. First base was we'll taken care of by W. Sweeney, who got every thing that came his way, while Foley, at second, was there in his old-t time form. E.

IMPORTANT RULING
Minnehaha County Wins Suit
for Maintenance of In
sane Person

! Sioux Falls, Oct. rs. -In Il decision
handed down Friday the supreme court
made several rulings which are Of grear
importance not only to this county buI
to every county of the state and which
will directly benefit Minnehaha count,
to the extent of 81, 100.
The case was that or Minnehaha
county vs. the estate Of Anna c. Phil.
lips The county lost in the lower
court and appealed and the administra.
tor OF the estate also appealed from tl.o
decision of Judge Jones. The point
raised by the county was sustained
and the administrator lost his appeal.
Tie action was brought by the
county to recover 81. 331. 30 from the
estate of Anna Phillips, to pay for her
maintenance ia the state hospital for
insane. Anna Phillips was confined in
the institution from 1898 until 1905.
when she was removed to a private
sanitarium where she remained until
she died in 1910. The county paid out
81 ,33l 20 for her maintenance at
Yankton and started an action to col
lect the amount from her estate. There
were seven heirs to the estate, one of
whom, Mrs. Hattie Phillips mother of
the deceased was dependent upon the
estate for her support. She opposed
the claim of the county on the
ground that the law exempted estates
from liability when there was someone
dependent upon the inheritance for
their support. The other heirs con
tended that a portion, ia fact most of
the claim, was outlawed by the statute
OF Limitations.
States Attorney Bergh contended
that the share of the dependent heir
was exempt from any assessment to
pay the claim of the county but that
the entire claim shoald be paid from
the shares of those who were not de-
pendent. He also contended that as
the account was a continuous one il
could not be outlawed until the last
item in it was over six years old.
Judge Jones held that the county
could only collect the amount of the
bill, which had accumulated six wears
before the commencement of the action
and awarded the county $lss and
States Attorney Bergh Immediately
appealed the case. The administrator
also appealed as he claimed the estate
was exempt from assessment. The
supreme court in its decision upholds
both contentious Of Mr. Bergh.

ELECT|NG PRESIDENT
Comprehensive Explanation OF
the Presidential Electoral
Machinery

From the Sioux City Daily Journal.
Sioux City, Ia, Oct. "a, l9l2.-To
the Editor: Will you give me some
information through the columns OF
your valuable paper1 Take the state
of New York, for instance. Does Taft
have to have a majority over the com
bined votes cast for Roosevelt and Will
son in order TO get the electoral vote of
the slater Suppose Taft got 40, 600
Roosevelt 90, 900 and Wilson IA, 600;
or suppose Taft got 80, 900, Roosevelt
30, 600 and Wilson 2s. 900. Would Taft
win in the second case as we'll as in
the firstf / think by settling this
thing right you will oblige, besides
myself, a whole lot of your readers.
Yours respectfully,
John w. Marshall.
1t is not necessary for a presidential
candidat to secure a majority over
| all his competitors in order to win
| the electoral vote of a state; a mere
| plurality over his nearest competitor is
| sufficient. In the first example cited
Taft has a majority over both com
4 UHbiLDIb huu Is VI COuIbC ChIlblC0 w
the electoral vote. In the second ex-
ample Taft has a plurality of ] 900 over
Roosevelt, his nearest competitor, and
the electoral vote goes to Taft just
the same. If Taft's plurality were
instead of 1000 in the latter instance
the electoral vote would still go to
him.
In getting down to the A, B, c of
electoral mechanism it may be well to
explain that the voters do not vote for
president direct, but for presidential
electors. The electors of the repub-
lican party represent Taft before the
voters of Iowa, and if elected will cast
their votes for him in the electoral
college. If the Taft electors are
elected they meet in Des Moines in
January, go through the form of cast
ing their votes for Taft and Sherman,
and SO d a record of the proceedings &c
Washington. where congress later can
vases the electoral returns from al
the states.
While it is not necessary for a presi
Dental candidate to secure a MAJORITY
of all the votes cast in a state to secuIt
the electoral vote of that state. it il
necessary for a presidential candidate
to secure a majority of all the cleo
toral votes in order to attain election
That is to say, TAFT, to be elected
must secure more electoral votes thar
are cast for both Wilson and Roose
Welt.
Under the new apportionment, fol
lowing the 1910 census and the ad
mission of Arizona and New Mexico t
the union, the forty eight states ar
entitled to cast in all 551 electora
votes. To win the popular election
must have a
majority of 531. In this case a mer,
plurality of electoral votes wonld no
avail. For instance, If Taft's had 90
electoral votes, Wilson 900 and Roose
welt Ill, the electoral college could no
elect a president. The popular election
would be without result and the cleo
tion would he thrown into the house O

representatives. With three candi-
dates of ven approximately equal
strength in the field the throwing Of
the election into the house might
reasonably be expected. there are
those who expect it this year, basir 3
the expectation on the guess that Will
son will lose part of the democratic
strength to Roosevelt, while Taft will
hold Il considerable majority of the
republican strength.
In an election IN the house of repre-
sentatives each state casts one vote for
the candidate whom a majority of its
representatives in congress favor. As
has been pointed out frequently in
print of late, it is possible that the
house also might fail to elect a presi-
dent, in which case the vice presi
dent, if the senate would elect one.
would inherit the presidency. If the
senate should fail to elect a vice presi-
dent the secretary of state would act as
president until congress could arrange
for another election to fill the va
csncy.

and horse labor will permit. These
crops will demand a maximum of la
Dor at certain times. To give profit
able employment at other times choose
the best paying crops or types of live
stock that require their maximum
amount of labor at other seasons"
In the better portion of the wheat
belt of the Inland Empire where the
rainfall is sufficient to grown a Gull
tivated crop instead of summer fallow-
ing the land, agriculture has even a
more serious fault than the one just
pointed out above. The wheat farmer
with his teams is not only idle or I'M
occupied during much of
the year but has in addition a large

area of land available and idle If the
labor necessary to summer fallow be
used in growing the proper crops up
on this idle land, the profits per acre
may be materially increased. Our in
vestigations in the bean growing dis
tricts of Umatilla county, Oregon, and
Nez Perez and Latah counties, Idaho,
during the last season illustrate this
point admirably. Beans and wheat
grown in alienation give a little
more than double the net income per
acre that wheat does grown under the
summer fallow system. In localities
not adapted to beans other crops
would have to be selected to take the
place of the summer fallow

ployment during a sufficiently large
portion of the year. This is probably
one of the most serious defects in Am
erican agriculture. 1t has been esti-
mated that farm horses, taking the
country as whole, do not work an
average of over 3 to 31a hours per day
during the summer months. Under
such conditions the cost of horse pow
er is enormous, probably twice or
three times as much as it should be-
1t is usually possible to plan the work
OF farm in such manner as to fur
nish profitable employment for both
man and horse during the greater por-
ton of the spring, summer and autumn
months.
The general principle to be observed
in determining what crops to grow in
order to furnish profitable employment
during the year has been stated thus

profitable crops as the available man

MINISTER is BEATEN
FOR OPENING CHURCH

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Feb. 3.-With
both eyes blackened and swollen, his
lip cut, his clothing disarranged and a
policeman guarding the pulpit, Rev. D.
Roland Smith preached the dedicatory
sermon at the First Methodist church
here. A two weeks legal contest Gull
minated in an assault upon the minis
ter on the way to church in the morn
ing.
An attempt was made to dedicate the
church on Sunday morning, January
81. Elaborate arrangements had been
made, including a costly musical pro-
gram, for this is the newest and one
of the most expensive churches in the
city. When the congregation gather
ed, however, they found the church
doors barred. Nailed to the door was

court order prohibiting the con
gregation and pastor from entering
the church.
Not Paid, He Said.
1t had been obtained by c. f. Nc
Kee, the contractor who built the
church. He alleged there was $4,000
yet due on the church for which sat
isfactory arrangements for payment
had not been made.
In court McKees protest, asked that
the injunction against the minister
and his flock be dismissed. The court
ordered Mckee to turn over the keys
of the church to the trustees. Mckee
then detied the court. Late at night,
upon complaint from the trustees that
Mckee had not delivered the keys,
he was arrested for contempt of court
He drove to Jail in his motor car, and
there he was stripped of his diamonds
and registered and measured. After
three hours the keys to the church
were delivered to the trustees by a
friend of Mckee and the latter was
released.

Attack the Preacher.

The dedicatory church services were
advertised to take place last Sunday
In the morning, while Rev. Mr.. Smith
was on his way to the church, McKee,
motor car pulled up at the curb, Nc
Kee, Arthur Snodgrass, McKee's secre-
tary, and another man jumped out. A
few words passed and Snodgrass
struck the minister in the face and he
dropped to the sidewalk Smith arose
and was knocked down again. That
occurred four times, and Smith was
severely beaten before he escaped. He
fled at once to his church, where the
congregation was waiting.
Mckee and Snodgrass were arrested
and a policeman guarded the pulpit
while the minister preached. The
personal appearance of the minister
demanded an explanation, and in
