Federal Ruling as 1t Affects
South Dakota

Pierre, July 22.-State Game War.
den Hedrick states that some misap.
prehension is current in regard tc
the federal game laws, as affecting
this state. South Dakota is in zone
| and, ther sfore, a closed season ia
perpetual on all birds feeding princi-
pally on insects, while a fve-year
closed season covers pigeons, cranes,
swans, curlew and all shoie birds.
From January I TO October 81 a closed
season exists along and on the Missouri
river on all migratory birds, this pro-
vision being in force from the mouth
Of the rive to Bismarck. For other
water fowl and shore birds the closed
season in South Dakota is from Decem-
Der 16 and September 10, while all
hours of darkness, sunset to sunrise,
are known as closed seasons for mi
gratory birds. The government penal
ty is a fine of not more than 800 or
Imprisonment not more than 80 days,
or both. The zones vary and the fed
eral game laws vary with the zones.

are in some would do much to i'm.
press the public with the sacred.
ness of the marriage ceremony wher
performed by a minister, and relieves
the clergy of much of the responsible
ity they now hear for the light re-
gard the public has as to its sacred
mesa.
OF course, s~tIicter marriage laws
are needed. The clergy cannot bring
about the reform alone, so long as
the land tbrongs with justices Of the
peace, mayors and judges who see
nothing in the marriage beyond a To-
gslform authorized by a license.
Regulations requiring publicity and
the lapse of time between the appli-
cation for a license and its issuance
are the first and most obvious legal
steps, but there are others of a re-
strictive nature which are likely
gradually to be adopted. While this
would not affect the s~acredness of
the ceremony it would prevent many
hasty marriages. The sacredness of
the marriage ceremony must be pre-
served and protected ny the church
itself, not by law.

nU|CK JUSTICE
Man in Pen Forty-Eight Hours
After Committing a
Crime

Parker, July 22.-Fred Davis, 35,
Grand Rapids, Mich, struck James
Cheil, 30, of Clinton, Ia, over the
the head with a club Friday pight at
Marion. He was arrested and brought
to Parker on Saturday where he plead
ed guilty to assault with intent to kill
and was sentenced to one year in the
penitentiary.
Cheil may die as a result of the at
tack David made upon him following a
quarrel the two engaged in after one
had kicked the others pot of coffee
over in a clump of trees heal Marion
where a party of hoboos, of which
Cheil and Davis we're members, had
gathered for their evening repast.
The Marion physician who is caring
for the injured man liz uncertain as to
the outcome of the frightful blows a1-
ministered by the heavy club in the
hands of Davis.
This record case of quick justice is
due to the fact that Jud @ Tripp was
sitting in special session at Parker
for the trial of the so-called lumber
antitrust cases. Time was taken to
dispose of the case of Davis with the
result that the culprit will commence
serving his sentence within less than
20 hours of the time be committed his
crime. But for the intervention OF
Sunday, the record would probably be
under as hours.

ME[LETTE MONUMENT
Organized Movement to Pay
Honor to South Dakota's
First Governor

A circular letter has been issued to
the press of the state from the head
quarters Of the Grand Army of the
Republic Of Watertown setting forth a
movement for the erection of a monu.
ment in honor of the late Arthur G.
Mellette, the first governor of South
Dakota after statehood. The circular
letter says:
A movement to pay a highly de-
served and long neglected tribute to
the memory of Arthur G. Mellette, the
last territorial governor of Dakota ter
ritory and the first governor of the
state of South Dakota, has been in.
a%ugurated by the citizens of Water
town, the home Ut the governor. The
local Sons of Veterans have taken the
initiative in a movement to raise funds
for the erection of a monument in
the court house square in that city,
by soliciting funds from over the
state. Governor Frank M. Byrne has
accepted the Craftsmanship Of the state
committee. thus showing that he
heartily approves the movement. The
local committee have charge of the de-
tails of the work. Rev. f. E. Stock
ton is the chairman, l.. J. Shaw treas
urer, and Wright Tarbell the secretary.
The plan is to make this monument
serve n double purpose. The base is to
be dedicated to the Grand Army of the
Republic, of which Mr.. Mellette was a
member, and il will be ~surmounted by
a bronze figure of the governor. This
will be the work of an artist of
national repute who formerly resided
in South Dakota. The cost of the
monument will be at least So. 900 and
it is planned to have the dedicatory
services on Memorial day, 1914.
Parties desiring to make contribu-
tions of 81 or more toward the fund
may remit to the secretary, who will
p, esent them with a souvenir medal
lion properly inscribed and showing a
bust picture of the governor. Many
have already expressed a desire to aid
in this movement and a hearty re
Spouse lie anticipated from ell over
the state.

SACRED RITE
Discussion of Marriage as an
Institution of the
Church

st. Louis Globe Democrat: At the
general assembly Of the northern
Presbyterian church at Atlantic a
resolution was passed declaring mar
rage to be a sacred institution and
calling for more strict and uniform
marriage and divorce laws. Every ex-
preston Of this kind is helpful. yet it
would seem that the marriage question
might be made more a matter of church
discipline than it is. Some denomina-
tions have nc disciplinary to individual
ministers and churches. But there are
ministerial associations and various or
CARNATIONS which might so strongly
set their seal of condemnation on the
performance of the marriage ceremony
by a minister, ave under proper con-
ditions of caution. that it would
amount in force almost to authority.
Those who have made a study of
the divorce evil have learned that
much of it is founded on the marriage
evil. Too easy marriage leads to d.
vorce. Elopements, dares, joy ride
engagements, divorce marriages, too
youthful marriages, are all fraught
with the potency of divorce. 1t
would seem that the best way for
the church to emphasize the sacred
ness of marriage would be for its
ministers to refuse to perform the cere-
mony in all such cases. A safe rule
would be for a minister to refuse to
perform the ceremony unless he knew
personally at least one of the parties
and was entirely satisfied all the con
ditions were proper and calculated to
make the marriage a good one. Strict
rules in this respect, recommendations
and resolutions in such denominations
as have no ~supervisoral authority, and
discipline In others-as there already

POLITICAL MEETING
The Gathering of Republicans
at Sioux Falls This
Week

Sioux Falls, July 22. -Everything
indicates that several hundred rspub.
%licans, representing all parts of the
state. will attend the big get together
republican convention which lie to be
held in Sioux Falls next Friday for
the purpose of recognizing the repub.
lican party of the state and ending
fractional strife within the party.
While it CHANGED that most of the
signers of the call for the convention
are men who during past campaigns
have been identified with the stalwart
faction of republicans. the great ma
jority of progressive republicans and
ne newspapers give their approval to the
convention and are urging that repub-
licans of the state. without regard to
fractional affiliations of the past, turn
out and attend 1t. 1t is quite general
lY believed that the calling of the con
vention was without q selfish purpose
and that the proceedings of the con-
vention will be impartial so far as
factions of the past are concerned,
and that neither faction of republicans
will gain any undue advantage through
any action that may be taken by the
convention.
