PIERRE. SOUTH DAKO7
South Dakota is typical autumn
resort.
Where is that Wyoming man who
predicted the earliest and severest
winter on record?
Reports say Mexico has been shak-
en- by an earthquake that killed many.
Someone trying to be funny?
The Los Angeles maniac with q
bundle of dynamite concealed In
grind organ was prepared to play a
funeral dirge.
The New York Sun asks if "bad
of the west" is passing away? Evi-
IDENTIFY he passed to New York a long
time ago.
Nevada must have resolved to brace
up and be man, judging from it's
announced intention of going out of
tie easy-divorce business.
1t is given out from Trenton that
no man in the United States has yet
been offered cabinet position by the
incoming president. But something
will be breaking loose soon.
New York Tribune: To hear Wash
|ington sputter it might be thought
that Gov. Wilson would have chance
to do the lone horseback act down
Pennsylvania.
A dead shot of q statesman is some
where in the background of the bill
introduced in the Missouri legislature
i providing that lobbyists at the state
capital shall wear distinctive uni
uniform.
The United States has barred Cipri-
ano Castro because he is alleged to be
a perjurer. Poor cap had been read
ing political controversy in American
newspapers and believed that the
linen 1acious liar" and the "deliber-
ate falsifier'' moved in the best Amer
can society.
Among the appropriation items al
1 ready before the legislature is one of
SO. 900 for farmers institute work
The introducer of the bill must have
a cypher somewhere in the shuttle.
Thirty thousand would be little
enough for that important work.
4 Just as soon as the Wyoming peo-
Pile heard that the colonel was butt.
ing in on their senatorial election,
they called off the legislative dead
lock and seated enough Republican
II contestants to re-elect Senator War
rem, whom the colonel had announced
his intention of defeating.
There is no one at Pierre, or for the
matter of that in the state, who has
a good word to say for the Curtiss
pamphlet law which proved to be SO
complete fizzle in the last campaign.
The law will no doubt be repealed at
this session of the legislature and q
real publicity law enacted in it's
place.
n An anti-treating bill is pending in the
Missouri legislature. To pass it would
be waste of time and energy, as was
proven by the South Dakota expert
ment along that line. We had an anti
treating law in this state and it never
was enforced for minute all the time
it was on the statute books.
When Woodrow Wilson comes in
he will find nothing of the 1926, 900
travel fund remaining. President
Taft has absorbed every cent of it.
An emergency appropriation for the
next president has been suggested.
His nibs, Royal C. johnson, has
just gone through another case of
breaking out at the mouth. He writes
about the constitutionality of pro
posed statute which seeks to fix a
minimum wage scale for girls en-
ployed in industrial pursuits. He
holds that this cannot be done under
the constitutional provisions Of the
state and that any such statute would
not hold under the provisions which
exist in that document.
Some people 60 to church to weep,
while others go to sleep. Some go with
theirwives to please their conscience;
others go to ease. Some 60 to tell
their woes, others 60 to show their
