THE LEGISLATURE
Recall Measure Before the Sen.
ate-The Naughty Dance
Bill Passed

Pierre, Feb. 2 .-Recall of all cleo.
tive officers In the state is the subject
of the resolution for a constitutional
amendment. presented in the senate
by Norbeck. The proposed amend
ment requires a petition Of 25 per
cent Of the voters of the voting dis
trict afected to secure a vote on the
recall of any official, and when put
to a vote two-thirds of the voters are
required to Dust the officer from his
Office. This. he claims, will stop any
hasty action, either in invoking the
law or carrying it out ON hasty judg
ment.
An appropriation of $40, 600. which
Is being asked to make the Richards
primary law operative. is the first step
toward putting it into actual work
ing operation. One of the propositions
presented in the senate was that of re-
quiring the name of the man seeking q
saloon license to be placed upon the
ballot asking for licenses. as a part
of the ballot itself. to designate the
beneficiary Of such a license election.
The doctors of the state pushed
through their two bills in the house.
One creates a state board of health and
medical examiners. to take the place
of the present boards, but this did
not get through until it had been
amended to require one member of
the Loard to be of the osteopathic
school. The other was for regulating
county boards of health.
The senate took up the house bill to
prohibit suggestive dances, and under
the previous question shut off all de-
bate and passed it just as it cane
from the house.
The house disposed of the bill to re-
peal the present wolf bounty law by
adverse committee report, and that
will not likely be heard Of again at
this session.
New bills to be introduced will give
the liquor interests more grief. One
proposes a Z O'Clock closing for all ga
looms; another requires all peace officers
to immediately call the attention of
the states attoi ney to violations of the
present closing laws, and the state at
torney is to Immediately prosecute
under that notice; q third prohibits
any transportation company under pen.

PLAYING POLITICS
South Dakota Legislature En-
cages in Natural Di-
version

Pierre, Feb. 7.-Now that the legis
lators have become accustomed to their
work their tendencies to play politics
are showing forth and as a result,
many men are being considered as AN
didates for various offices. AS is well
known the legislature is usually the
Matching ground of candidates..
The air is rife with rumors Of can
didacies and plots of this or that fac
tien to raise a man who will over
come all opposition,
One of the candidates. which is be
ing brought forth by the law makers
and which promises to receive a strong
support from nearly every progressive
in the state is that of p W. Dough
city. of Dell Rapids, assistant attor-
ney general and attorney for the rail
road commission. Mr.. Dougherty is
too busy to talk politics, but his
friends are willing to spare some time
to talk over his qualifications for the
Office of attorney general.
That he will make a very strong
candidate is conceded, coming from
the most populous county in the state
and besides having a statewide ac-
quaintance as attorney for the railroad
commission. His record with that de-
partment is also pointed out as a strong
factor IN his favor. But while Mr..
Dougherty is being doomed for the
state Office, the rumor reaches the
politicians here that he is being con-
sidered as "A most suitable candidate for
the Office .-of judge of the second
judicial district in which Sioux Falls
Is located.
Determined to defeat Crawford and
realizing. that they cannot retire him
with any member of their own faction,
the reactionaries have started a cam
paign to induce A. w. Ewert. state
treasurer. to enter the race and thei
organs in several sections of the state
will from time to time run stories On
the alleged candidacy. So far Mr..
Ewert has not seen fit to even discuss
the matter with his most intimate
friends and apparently is not greatly
hattered by the efforts of the reaction
aries to draw him into the fight against
Senator Crawford.
No more midnight with
an auto tide to the nearest preacher

scene, will take place in South Da-
kota if a bill introduced today Ee-

method of overcoming obstacles, pro-
vides that notice of a contemplated
marriage must be published for three
weeks, giving the names of the two
parties who de ire to marry and the
names of their parents. Violation of
the act is made a felony.
The passage of senate bill 245 in the
senate precipitated a lively debate, but
only six of the lawmakers went en-
record in favor of the teachers. The
bill provides that any teacher who
breaks a contract with a school board
shall be prohibited from teaching In
the state for one year. The friends of
the teachers pointed out that this was
an unjust hardship to protect the
strong against the weak.

BEATING HIS WAY
Unknown M a Falls Under
Wheels of Train at
South Shore

Watertown, Feb. ia telephone
message was received from South Shore
stating that the dead body OF an I'M
known man had been found on the rail
road track neal that place and that the
indications were that he had been
killed by the evening passenger which
had pa sed through but a short time
before.
AT about the same time the message
arrived a young man who had alighted
from the w~estbound train at Water
town began to make inquiry if any one
had heard of an accident occurring at
South Shore. He said that another
young fellow who had been stealing
rides with him had slipped and fallen
as they were attempting to board the
moving train at South Shore and he
was afraid bis pal had been injured.
This young man who gave his name
as j. J. Stanton. was taken into Gus
tody and put in the county Jail until
an investiation might be made. Sheriff
Elkins. Coroner Mace and County At
torney Sherin left at once for South
Shore and viewed the body which was
found severed in twain and laying on
the track about 100 feet from the water
tank.
They returned to the city, 20 in
quest having been held. Stanton was
put through a sweating process at the
county Jail to find out what he knew
about the case. Stanton professed to
know nor much about the deceased
man except he said they had fallen
in with each other while engaged in
beating their way on the railroad.
He claimed to know only the mans
fist name which he said was Jimmy.
The initials j. A. F. were found
tatooed on the dead mans arm which
were the only identifying marks found
on his person.
According to Stanton's story they
were both in South Shore where they

Mr.. Berger's resolution proposed

the secretary of commerce and labor
to furnish to congress an estimate OF

railroads, their connections and all
their properties, as the basis of gov
