parts unknown to his folks.
The boy was traced to Brighton, and
there it was found that he had boarded

informed the officer that he had left the
train at this city. The boy reached
Washington last Friday, and began
work with the McKeone cement gang

The Bloomfield officer spent one whole

The Competition Of Gods.
Polytheism prevailed in Moses day.
The conception of God was tribal and
national. Even the Jews regarded
Jehovah merely as the God Of the
Jews. This competition of deities, II 1t
may be SO termed. is thought which
runs all through the old testament.
The sense Of the primacy Of this new
law, that there should be but one God
worsh1pped, appeals less to us in our
monotheistic day than it did to the
old Jews familiar with the Gods of
Egypt, Arabia and Canaan.

LOOKS HARMONIOUS
Gov. Byrne's Recommendations
Will Receive Attention by
Legislature.

Pierre, Jan. 13.-That the recon
in his inaugural address were we'll re-
ceived and will largely govern the ma
tuIe of the legislation which may be
passed at the present session of the
Legislature, was evinced Friday when
the first bills were introduced IN the
senate. A public utilities bill, intro
duced by Wright of Besdle county was
the first on the calendar and this was
closely followed by a ''blue sky act
by Senator Gene of Sioux Falls and a
bank guaranty bill by Hale Of Meade
county, all of which were recommend
ed by the governor in his first mes
sage to the Legislature.
The public utilities act proposes to
place the control of all public service
institutions, such as gas, electric
lights and waterworks companies, in
tne hands of the railroad commission.
The board is to ascertain the physical
valuation of these institutions and
must require that they keep a uniform
system of bookkeeping and the INIT
system of accounting 50 that the com
mission may learn at any time the
exact cost of the operation of the in
stitution and govern the rates accord
ingly. The right of such companies
to operate will under the act be vested
in the commission which may with
draw the franchise when the company
no longer meets the requirements laid
down by the law and the commission.
The blue skv law, by requiring all
companies selling stock or operating
as investment concerns to file with the
secretary of state a list of their proper
ties and copies of all contracts and
plans of doing business and providing
punishment for Noncompliance with
the law, seeks TO protect investors from
placing their money in fraudulent con-
Germs, bat will not be a handicap to
the Legitimate concern. The invest.
ment companies are placed directly in
charge of the public examiner and he
may stop them fIom doing business
by proceedings ia court, If their re
ports to his department ale not salts
factory or if his Investigations show
that they are not solvent.
The bill for the guaranty of bank
deposits contemplates the establishment
of a state fund for the purpose of in
surfing the deposits by a tax on the
banks participating.
A bill to furnish state aid for the
construction of public highways, and
irrigation projects and for the develop
ment and operation Of coal mines and
water powers In the state will soon be
introduced. The bill would give state
credit to such projects or permit the
Legislature by special act to donate
money for them, but the state debt sc
incurred together with other state debts
must be within s per cent of the as.
sessed valuation of the property in
the state.
