Redfeld. S. D.. June 2a.---George
Hanson, a tenant farmer living near
Tulare, in Sphinx county, is now lodged
in the county jail at Redfeld to an
swer to a charge of having destroyed
mortgaged property. A few days ago
Milligan brothers, of this place, state
agents for a hall and lightning insIr-
ance company, received word from
Hanson that 10 horses on which he
carried policies, had been struck by
lightning.
The adjuster employed by the in
surance company was sent to look up
the loss. Hanson took the adjuster to
the corner of the pasture where the
horses We're alleged to have been
struck by lightning, n said he mad
dragged the bodies to a sand pit over
a mile away. The adjuster could dis
cover no signs to indicate that horses
had been dragged that distance, and
upon going to the sand pit he found
the horses had all been shot through
the head, each of them having been
shot and killed in the pit where they
We're found. Hanson, confronted by
the evidence, confessed after a long
session with the Sphinx county Off
GERS, admitting that he had killed the
horses In order to secure the insur-
ance money.

A MUDDLED DECISION.
Judge Holds Minnesota's Minimum
WAGE to Be Unconstitutional.

Judge Holds Minnesota's Minimum
Wage to Be Unconstitutional.
Commenting on Judge Catlin's de-
cision that Minnesota S minimum wage
law is unconstitutional and enjoiniug
the state from putting the act In opera
ton, the New York World says:
The learned judge who held Min
nesota's minimum wage law to be un
constitutional seems to have had a
mixture of motiyes-or reasons-but
to have been utterly determined that
the law was bad thing. In the first
place, the actual working of the law
would be likely to increase immortality,
If morals are dependent on wages
Just what business that is of any
judge no constitution undertakes to
say, but Ii appears to have been an
argument against the validity of this
particular law.
In the second place. the law, instead
wages, delegated power to a commits
sion to investigate and determine rates
Minnesota may have a constitution 50
worded that this is contrary to its pro
visions, but it is good recognized legal
procedure in many other states. Also
the ''abridgment OF the right OF the
individual TO contract" held to be az
other unconstitutional feature Of the
measure, has not been so held in Ore
gon
Save for the fact that it applied to
males under twenty one as well as to
women and children. Minnesota's was
one of the midest of the minimum
wage laws passed in 1913. 1t was
tentative, experimental sort Of statute
The Legislature which enacted the
law was commonly held to have been
moderate to degree. though wise in
recognizing the need Of such protection
for workers. Judge Catlin's decision
indicates that something is seriously
wrong with the states constitution--or
It's courts. Just what. and which, the
supreme court may show on the appeal
from this decision.

house on a side street, ridiculously
happy with her husband and her baby.
The back yard was just about big
enough to hold a whirling clothes

JUSTICE FOR TOLL.

The department of labor has
been accused of partisanship in
the conduct of its affairs If Sc
curing justice to those who earn
their living by the sweat of their
faces is partisanShip then count
me n partisan on the side of the
man that labors.
The department OF labor also
has been accused Of partisanship
on the theory that in acting as
mediator in labor disputes it is
performing judicial function.
That is not true 1t performs
diplomatic functions. There is
no more reason why the depart
ment Of labor should be barred
from handling labor disputes in
a diplomatic manner than there
Is for barring the state depart
ment from handling information
al disputes.
What we want in handling la
Dor disputes are men who are
experienced and level headed
and who understand the techni-
calities involved. In carrying
out its work the department
takes men who are experienced
and have the technical knowl-
edge Of the employees side and
also men who are experienced
and have the knowledge Of the
employers side and sends them
out to perform their work Sec

No doubt mauy families of union
men will not have the Merry
Christmas that was dreamed of
some tine ago. There is no getting
away from the fact that all are re
oeiving their full share of the pres
ent business depression. Many
causes are given for the deplorable
conditions which at the present
time exist but many workingmen
are at a loss to know the actual
cause. The war to our opinion
has very little to do with our panic,
because the depression had it's
strangle hold on the American peo-
pie long before the European war
was declared. Politics is the chief
menace to the American people to
day. It's the big politicians who
are connected with big business
that have the whole machine in
their grasp. 1t will not be long
until we will again SEE the large
display signs confronting the work
ingmen. Vote for prosperity and
