A View of His Efforts at Securing
Public Office.

Sioux City Journal: 1t does not
appear at this distance that Dick
Richards needs a great deal of sym
pathy. In taking political chances
for himself he never takes any but
long ones, such as carry no reason
able promise of attaining office. The
inference is that Mr.. Richards Is in
politics, not for office, but either for
the good he thinks he can do or the
fun he knows he can get out of the
game. In either case the close of a
campaign probably finds him cher
ishing a belief that he got his mon
ey's worth. The late campaign should
have brought Mr.. Richards one sat
~isfaction that might be worth more
than the aggregate of his large print
ing and advertising bills. 1t would
be found in the Endorsement given
his personally constructed primary
law which has been cursed or laugh
ed at by most of the political leaders
and newspapers of the state. The
people of South Dakota said they
wanted the Richards primary law In
the first place, after the legislature
said ii wouldn't do. And after a two
years experience with the Richards
law the voters said they preferred 1t
to a wide open primary law, propos-
ed by the democrats as a substitute
for 1t. Altogether Dick Richards
doesn't appear to be having such a
miserable time.

Would Make Lawmakers More Re-
sponsive to People.

Madison, Wis, Nov. ia plea
for greater responsiveness by legisla-
lures to the popular will, with a sug-
g~estion as to the part a governor
should bear in bringing this about,
was made here by +. NJ. Byrne, chief
executive of South Dakota. He
spoke before the governors confer
ence, which has been in session since
Tuesday and his address followed a
discussion on extradition problems,
led by Gov. s. V. Stewart of Montana.
After establishing his premise that
because of the veto power and the
right or duty to recommend the en-
actment of desirable measures, the
governor Is a part of the Legislature,
Gov. Byrne said:
WIN should not the governor, in
matters he deems of great impor-
lance or in support of a he
believes the people desire enacted in
to law, accompany his recommends
tions with a draft of a bill, for which
he is willing to assume responsibility.
How often we see a measure ad-|
| vocated in party platforms, made the
issue on which the party carries the
Il tittllon, VI 6thtiy ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ~
the governor and apparently earnest
ly desired by a great majority of the
people, and yet the Legislature comes
and goes without such measures be-
ing enacted into law and we see no
way definitely to place the blame.
Il do not advocate an extension OF
the power of governor, but present
this as a mean toward making his
leadership effective and at the same
time fixing with accuracy his respon-
sibility. The real increase in power
should be to the people, by making it
easier for them, effectively and in
diligently to support or oppose
measures.
THE time has come to bring leg
i~slation out of secret committee
rooms, to give the people opportu-
nifty to see the process of law making
and to Judge the motives that prompt
action for or against measures and
policies"

this country. we will guarantee to
take care of South Dakota's share
and to distribute the children in good
homes and have supervision over
them until they are adopted.
Il think that this country could do
a great good for humanity by taking
these orphans and placing them in
good homes and incidentally we
would be securing children that will
make splendid citizens as they come
from an industrious and law abiding
people.
The Children's Home, | think,
would be able to handle 200 children
If it were found best to send that
number of this state. 1t is awful to
think of the thousands of destitute
children in Europe being left to suf-
fer, homeless and alone with no one
to shelter them and give them prop
er care"

South Dakota Fifth i'm Their Pro
duction.

Pierre, Nov. l3.-Otto Ellerman,
state mine inspector, has sent to
Gov. Byrne his second annual mine
report of South Dakota. The report
reveals that South Dakota is fifth of
all the states in the union in produc-
ton of gold and silver bullion, pro-
ducing in 1914 a total value of ST.
325,510.S3. This makes a total of
$~191,779.370 in gold and silver since
Custer discovered gold in the Black
Hills.
In addition to these enormous fig
ures, South Dakota, during 1914,
produced a value Of $68,04S in other
minerals, with gypsum leading at
$4,000; mica, $3.50; lead. $81l;
beryl, $3.50; lithia ore. $1,150; tung-
stem ore, $500.
The statistics show that the 1914
gold production in value was a de-
crease of $171,589 over 1913, but
that the tonnage was increased 3d.
1877 tons, giving an average value of
$3.6S per ton, which is the lowest
since the mines have ever been op-
Grated.
This indicates that local smelling
has done away with an enormous
amount of cost in producing gold,
and that therefore the dividends on
the mines to their owners can be
larger than ever. For 1914, the
dividends amounted to over $4,000
900.
OF all the tonnage of gold shipped
to smelling places but LIS tons

DEAD MEN ERECT
London Lancet Explodes Stories of
Effects of NoxiOus Bombs.

London, Nov. 13.-That picture of
dead men erect in the trenches of
France, rifles in hand, eyes open,
limbs set as if in life, has been OBJ
liberated by the London Lancet. Cor
respondent at the front have sent in
this story repeatedly, varying local
ity and details. Essentially, how
ever, all accounts have been the
same. Briefly, the victims have sue
cumbed to a noxious gas given off by
shells and have persisted as they
stood or sat after the manner of oc-
cupants of a castle in fairyland over
which some evil spirit had cast a
spell.
But the Lancet in a recent issue
says this cannot be so.
That dead bodies can remain in
the upright position without support
from without is, of course, absurd
says the journal. But it is interest
ing to point out that the favorite
modern explosive is tri-nitrotoluol,
and this gives off incidentally a large
