RUljNG RENDERED BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL-JupGE's NAME
PLACED ON BALLOT.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and From
Mary Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

P..yre.--Attorney General Johnson,
at request Of State Secretary Glass.
uer, has filed with him the following
opinion in regard to the recent suit
begun by Frank McNulty, minority
candidate for congress in the Second
district, on the announced refusal III
the secretary to place the name OF
McNulty on the primary ballot:
In accordance with your request,
and as the law requires the attorney
general to act as your advisor in OF
fetal matters, l have to say that In
my opinion you have no lawful right
to refuse to place the name OF Judge
McNulty upon the ballot for the prim'
airy election, and that your position IS
legally ~indefensible. You should at
once withdraw that refusal and, in
obedience to the law. place Mr.. Nc.
Nulty's name upon the ballots and
thereby put an end to this proceeding
saving the time Of the court and the
expense to the state.
If it was the intention to at this
time and in this way test the ques'
ton of the eligibility of Judge NC
Nulty to hold office OF representative
to congress from this state, you al
ready have the decision OF u SUI
preme court that this could not DC
done in this proceeding, as that court
has already said that neither the pub
lie officers nor the court have any
right to question or determine the
right OF a political organization &c
nominate an ineligible candidate 1ol
office if it sees fit to do so. and any
attempt to present the question of the
eligibility of Judge McNulty to the
court at this time would merely pre-
sent a moot question for the courts
consideration. II there is any othel
reason for your refusal, tho rocorc
fails to disclose It.

County Seat Contests.

Pierre.-The first rumors OF county
seat contests for this year come from
Gregory and Stanley counties, where
the movement is already under way
with possibilities In Perkins and Ly-
man counties ready for development
at any time. The Gregory county con,
test is a long drawn out one, which
has been under way at every oppor-
unity since that county extended It's
boundaries. Gregory and Burke ap-
pear to have been the leading towns
so far in contests, but neither could
secure a majority of all, with a half
dozen towns in the race Zach time.
1t is hoped that the act Of the 1911
legislature, which was approved by
the people at the election OF 1917,
will settle the issue through elin'la'
ton of the towns with a small vote
in the preliminary tests provided FOR
in that act. The Stanley county con-
test is one which has in the past been
uncertain, on account OF the desires
of Milesville in the northwest, kadoka
in the southwest, both standing in op.
position to Philip, the leading town
Of the western part Of the county, IN
it's efforts to wrest honors from Fort
Pierre.

Great men were not lacking in
America before Lincoln, but they
were not Of the soil Of u new land.
Washington was a colonial country
gentleman; Jefferson a cosmopolitan
revolutionist; Hamilton a ~reincarnate

1t was left for Abraham Lincoln to
gather up and embody the character
istics of the nation he was born to
save; boyish humor. homely wit, keen
vision and unfinching purpose.

HIS LIBRARY A SMALL ONE
AZ q Boy Lincoln Had Few opportu-
mites for the Acquisition Of
Much Learning.

@@HEN Abraham Lincoln was
AY a small boy, says st. Mich
olas, he had very few
books. There was no need
~ for him to consult a list of
the hundred best books. His earliest
possessions consisted of less than a i
a dozen Volumes pioneers library.
First, Of course, was the bible, q
whole library in itself, If properly un-
derstood, and containing every sort
of observation-disclosures. poems, dramas
addresses, orations. histories, some
simple enough for the youngest child,
others taxing the wisdom Of the learn
ed. Second was Pilgrims Progress"
with it's quaint characters and vivid
scenes related in simple, vigorous En-
glish. "Aesop's Fables" was a third,
and introduced the log-cabin boy to a
wonderful range of characteristic
gods of mythology, the different ranks
and classes Of mankind, and every
animal under the sun. Fourth was a
History of the United States, in
which there was the charm of truth
and a more modern tone, and from
which were learned the lessons OF
patriotism that Lincoln's manhood
put into action. Last came Weems
Life of Washington" a queer, stilted
book, but one full of detail that made
Washington seem a living example.
These five books were the begin
ming of Lincoln's education; and what
wise man has outgrown them all?
From the Bible, Pilgrims Progress
and Aesop the boy Lincoln learned
the power and beauty Of plain Eng
lish words, and saw that the grandest
thoughts and most poetic imaginings
needed only the strong little words
Of every day. When, therefore, In
later life he wished to be sure he un
derstood any matter, it became his
custom to translate 1t into words such
as a child can understand.
Read again the Gettysburg address
and second inaugural, and learn how
Lincoln could make the homespun
words Of common use move the
hearts of his fellowmen.
Who will tell us what books were
read by other great men and women
Of the past when they were young
readers?"

ConstitutionaIity Attacked.

Mitchell.-The constitutionality OF

by counsel for T. ]. Spangler, in the

Of Mitchell from building the 100000
system authorized.
T. II. Null, of Huron. general coun
sci for the Dakota Central Telephone
company, who represented Mr. Spang.
Ter in the suit, argued that a telephone
system was an internal improvement
and as such was inhibited by the
state constitution. It was further ar
gued that the majority of the voters
of the city had not voted in favor ol
the issuance of the bonds.
The contention of the city in the
case. which was heard by Judge Rob
ert p. Trip, of Yankton, sitting fol
Judge Frank 3. Smith, is that the con
stitutioral provision applies only tt
the state government as to the limit
of legal Indebtedness and that under

GOVERNOR TENER IS
MIGHTY GOOD GOLFER
George Heck, the Caddie, Has the
Proofs; Tells Where
Lucknow Is

The Philadelphia Press of yesterday
followed up in a most entertaining
manner the story printed in the Tele-
graph the other night of how Governor
Tener took enough interest in the well
fare of boy who caddies for him to
send him to a Philadelphia hospital for
treatment for his eyes. Readers of the
Telegraph are familiar with what was
printed. This is what the Philadelphia
paper says:
George Heck says he doesn't know
anything about what kind of a Cover
nor John X. Tener is, except what he
hears, but he, does know he's a mighty
good golfer George is the youngster
whom the Governor sent to the Wills
Eye Hospital to have lifelong ailment
corrected. After DIR. Frank Fisher of
1911 Arch street looked at the mend
ing eye yesterday and said it was get
ting along fine, George came out in the
corridor and talked.
"The way he happened to know that
Mr.. Tener is such a good golfer is be-
cause he has been the chosen caddie
year at the Harrisburg Country Club,
and minds the Governors wants when
on the links
"'He often makes nine holes in
thirty-nine. which is pretty good for
that course said George. He always
feels extra good when he turns in
good card
George has suffered from what the
doctors call ptosis, the effect of paraly-
tic action. Governor Tener noticed that
he was entirely too good caddie to
bear crippled eye, and last summer
asked him how he'd like to get ii fixed.
(This is Georges language).
Fine George said he said.
so the Governor kept the matter in
mind. and last Friday himself brought
George to town and the operation was
performed
"'No, 1t didn't hurt George answered
the query; they put some cocaine in it
or around 1t. 1 don't know-and I hardly
knew it
'Dr Fisher said another operation
would be performed to make the eve
entirely normal. though the one Just
gone through will come very near to
doing It.
George expects to go home about
and take up his daily duties
as a pupil in the sixth grade of the
Lucknow public school
Where is Lucknow was asked of
George oh. don't you know? he
answered. Harrisburg is just mile
from it,"

1t shows also that he must have known
that the company was operating un-
der leasehold for the very purpose
of lodging responsibility for such acci-
dents as did actually occur, wiping
out the lives of five of the workmen
at one time.
In fact there was a clause placed
in the lease for this very purpose.
This clause was to the effect that
should a, court judgment be secured
against the company the lease should
be at once void, which would leave
the Sonman Shaft Coal Company with
out assets and therefore legally unable
to pay
