Probably the officer to be elected in

railway commissioner. Every man pays
tribute to the railroads. If the railway
commission is composed of men who

The editor of the Telegram has enter

WARRANTS TURNED DOWN

The attorney general. on request of
the state auditor, last week passed
upon two warrant matters of great
Importance. A voucher was pre-
seDted from the Northern Hospital
at Redfeld for something over q
thousand dollars to secure the pay
ment for work done in 1910 for 1911
funds. The contract read that the
money should not be due until the
work should be accepted by COM
petent engineer, and the engineers
certificate of acceptance was dated in
1911 The opinion holds that work
can be only paid for ont of funds of
that fiscal year, held this voucher
cannot be paid, as it would set pre-
cedent whereby any state official
might al,anate the funds of his de-
partmenb for years to come. The
other matter concerned the payment
for the poisoning of prairie dogs,
done by the state land department,
and it was held that such work did
not properly come under the functions
of the office, hence could not be paid.

A CHANGED CONDITION

The reports which are coming in

nature than those which were told q
year ago. At that time there was
seeding going on to q limited extent,
but the farmers were working in

rosy. But this spring the soil is
soaked to a great depth, and tho
prairie is showing green over the
whole country, and seeding is being
rushed in every part of the newly
settled western half of the state. The
ponds and dams aref full of water; the
streams are running, and the rains
which are sweeping over the country
are helping to keep the moisture Of

New York Herald: The loud noise is
not an April thunder storm. 1t is the
democrats Laughing. That observation Of
the sun is not an eclipse. 1t is the demo-
Gratis turning somersaults in the skies.
That jerky notion of the earth is not an
earthquake. 1t is the democrats getting
together and sinking their differences
way down deep in the ground. And who
would be so cruel as to take their JOY
away from the democrats? Have they
not had their sorrows and tribulations
long enough? Has it not been twenty
four years war with them since the days
of the first administration of Grover
Cleveland? Woe to him, be it Bryan,
Clark. Wilson or Harmon, who puts

ton. This is big country, but it is not
big enough to have two wars at one

SOUTH DAKOTA IN L1MELIGHT

About the only new developments
in the South Dakota political situa-
ton for the past week, has been the
arrival of Senator Gamble from
Washington to look after his cam
paign, with the probabilities that he
will remain in the state up to the
date of the primaries. Congressman
Burke is yet in Washington but he
will probably be home shortly after
the first of May for the last month in
the campaign. The time is being de-
voted by the official list, or rather
the would-be official list these days in
making the rounds of the state. and
telling the people what they can ex-
pect if the particular individual adj
dressing them is given an opportunity.
There are yet thirty working days in
which to get the "tidings" to the
people, and these will be taken up
generally by the whole official list.
The one exception being George Egan,
whose activities are not confired to
week days. His ranks are fast filling
up; he is far in the lead and is daily
widening the gap.
The senatorial scrap is warming up,
and the outcome is said by those who
travel to be one of uncertainty, with
the Richards strength as the greatest
element of uncertainty to deal with.
This is listed all the way from a
heavy vote for the Huron man, down
along the list to mere showing, and
the outcome depends largely on which
of these come the nearest to verify
ing. The presidential situation is
one which the outcome in other states
will have a great deal to do with.
The indications now appear to be that
by the time the South Dakota primary
comes around, each of the PRESIDENT
al candidates will want the ten dele.
gates from this state, and the fight
will be a warm one for the last few
days.

Arlington Sun: The fact that
man is authority on any prominent
subject in congress makes him strong
in other ways, as he is always con-
suited by ali the other members On
the one subject at least and in this
way he has a speaking and working
acquaintance that scores Of members
do not have. Mr.. Burke of South
Dakota, who is congressman from
this district, is the recognized author
ity on Indian affairs and as it takes
more than $4,000, 900 year to pro.
vide for this one government charge,
Mr.. Burke is real leader by reason
of his being authority on this subject.
The people of this district and this
state cannot afford to lose him and
his services, and when there is no rea-
son for retiring him except the per-
sonal grudge of one individual who
is candidate, the voters should SEQ
to it that Burke gets the vote in June.
