Coat Nearly Causes Accident.

Brtton George Rooster,
manager of one of the grain ele
vators at Farmer narrowly escap-
ed death through an accident
which occurred while starting
the powerful gasoline engine
which supplies the power for his
elevator.
At the time, Mr.. Rooster was
wearing Il light overcoat, the
skirts of which became entangl-
ed in the machinery, throwing
him against the ceiling of the
engine room with such violence
as to partially loosen the scalp.
He was rendered completely un-
conscious from the blow, in
which condition he remained for
- hours.

SOME new LAWS
NOW In EFFECT
Results of Last Legislature
Now in Force.

The constitution of South Da-
kota provides that laws enacted
by the legislature without emer-
gency clauses shall go into effect
on July / following their enact
ment. Under this provision new
and amended laws of Importance,
which were enacted by the state
legislature at it's session last
winter and which did not contain
emergency clauses, went into
effect July /.
Among the laws is AN amend
ed blue sky law doing away with
features of the old law which
We're unconstitutional, and mal1-
ing the act more effective. The
personnel of the commission is
changed by the amended law,
substituting the attorney gener
al for the state auditor, so that
the state securities commission
in future will be composed of the
public examiner, Insurance COM
missioner and attorney general
Another of the new laws makes
a change in the mannero of secur-
ing marriage licenses in South
Dakota. The new law arrang-
es the form of the license. Ac,
cording to the old law, the H.
cense consisted of one certificate
and the license itself, both of
which are required to be return
ed to the Clerk of Courts after
being filled out to be filed. The
new law provides for two certif-
Gates and the license. The license
and one certificate are to be kept
by the party married, while the
other certificate is to be return
ed to the county court house.
This law will necessitate the pur-
chasing of new marriage regis
ters by the various counties of
the state, as the old form cannot
be used
AL school officers in the state
will be interested in the provi=
sion of new law which went
into effect on the first 1t re-
quires every school district to
publish an annual report in a
newspaper published nearest to
the geographical center of the
district.
Another of the new laws per-
mits a commission to levy tax
of not to exceed | mill on all the
taxable proper ty within the city
for the purpose of providing 9
fund for the purpose Of furnish,
ING free musical concerts to the
public. Before this may be done
it is necessary to file with a city
commission a petition signed by
at least . per cent of the electors
requesting that the levying OF
such a tax be submitted to the
voters at the next general cleo
ton held previous to the time the
meeting is held by a city com
mission for the purpose of max
ing the annual appropriations.
The inheritance tax law whicl
has been changed by succeeding
legislatures, was again altered b,
the last legislature. and th,
amended law went into etfec
the lst. This cuts down the
exemptions of widows from 500
900 to $4,000 and reduces tn
exemptions of other heirs, AM
establishes new rates for al
classes.
A new vagrancy law will al
ply to the gypsy bands whicl

a row at WauDay Monday re-
suited in the stabbing of one man
and the shooting of another.
About 1915 that eveninga bunch
of fellows got into a row in an
alley back of the Joseph Mar
shall building, and Elmer Ness of
Ortley received several knife
wounds. Marshal Telschow was
informed that the man had been |
nearly hacked to pieces, and in
company with several deputies
he started IA search for the per-
petratorS of the crime. He cen
cluded that the knife wielder
would attempt to get away on

watch was kept on both sides of
the track. Just as the train. was
pulling out a fellow lodged from
behind a pile of telephone poles
and made a rush for the train.
Telschow hailed him. ordering
him to stop, but the fellow kept
on running. The officer shot ov-
er his head three times, repeat
ing his command to halt, but the
fellow paid no heed, and as a
last resort the officer was COM
PEELED to shoot directly at him.
He thought he missed him and
fired again, and at the second
shot he stopped abruptly and
when the officer reached the man
he found that both bullets had
taken effect. Medical aid was
summoned and an examination
showed that one ball had gone
through the tieshy part of the
left shoulder and lodged in the
muscle of the arm, and the other
I pierced the left lung and was
i imbedded in the breast. The

ceived several wounds none OF
them proved of a serious nature

ed through the medium of the Mill
waukee coast trains.
This species of mustard grows
much higher than the ordinary
yellow variety, and protrudes sew
eral inches above the wheat. It's
stalk is very tough and woody and
where it is very thick it is impos-
slble to cut it with binder. 1t
spreads rapidly and thrives in any
soil
Most of the plants have been
found along the Milwaukee track,
but a few small areas have been
found mile or so from the track,
which indicates that it is beginning
to get foothold. 1t can be easily
be recognized from the yellow
mustard as the stock is longer, the
flower lighter in color, and the up.

there is every probability that the public

be sure, one of its investigators did dis
cover and report that Kansas farmers pro
vide poor housing and worse food tor their

and the harvest hands know the facts to be

versy may be to Chairman Walsh person
ally, President Wilson has indicated that
he does not regard it as sufficiently related

Pennsylvania chap as evils to be endured
rather than leaders to be followed. This
Pennsylvania and the crop OF similar
chaps who, without particular information,
are denouncing the Colorado jury that has
convicted strike leader of murder, just as,
before the Mcnamara confession, they de-
nounced the California courts as "perse-
cutors" of the dynamiters, are therefore, less
important than they deem themselves. A
fairminded public is disguised at the roth
ings of this type of radicals, who usually
are attached to labor's organization for
revenue purposes, but the same public year
ly aids organized labor to move toward bet
ter conditions. The cause of labor advances.
not because of the incendiary mouthings OF
parasitical leaders, but in spite OF them.
It advances because its real leaders seek not
to engage in class contest, but to apply
constructive principle, and because its real
program is evolutionary, and not revolt
tionary.

Public sympathy with organized labor is
generally accepted as correct commentary
on the Justice of the labor cause Incident
ally, public sympathy with organized labor
is illustrative of the peoples ability to dis
Germ the Justice of a cause, even II the
cause frequently is put in positions that
compel its friends to consider it badly LED.
Enthusiastically, organized labor is handl-
capped by a type of labor leaders whose
fuiminations are as little in accord with the
sentiments of the union rank and file as with
the opinions of those who seek to maintain
a balance in controversies between labor
and it's employers. A late offender in this
direction is the Pennsylvania agltator who
declares it necessary that the union men OF
the keystone state equip themselves with
rifles and qualify as sharp-shooters TOR pro-
lection against the officers of the law. OF
course, comparatively few Pennsylvania Ia
boring men will accept the declaration, al
though similar declarations probably have
led the ignorant to bloodshed. Intelligent
union men know it was intended only to
advertise the man making it as one willing
to 90 to any length in the cause OF labor.
They are probably less stirred by such
declaration than are those of us whose tenn
pers are ruffled by individual failure to dis
tinguish between liberty and license. They
know that the accomplishments of organ
lied labor have not been the products OF
bloodshed and incendiarism, and so organ
lied labor treats radicals of the type OF this

A DVOCATES of change in American
n military policies may shortly ADDRESS
\ themselves to a more sympatneuC
public. Not that Americans are growing
warlike, but quite the reverse. American
traditions and ideals are mistaken. mere
is no desire to assume heavy military
burden. with its attendant evils and dangers.
The European struggle has HORNED the
world and jingoism was never so mucn al
a discount in United States. American
sentiment is in full accord with patient
and peaceful governmental policy, SO long
as there is no sacrifice of national dignity.
However, recent events have awakened us
to possibility that the course OF other ma.
tons may necessitate forcible defense OF
American rights. Do not these events IN
themselves suggest the WISDOM not OF
maintaining a great standing army, but OF
developing system through which we may
more speedily arm and equip volunteer
army with a proper complement OF trained
officers? United States now gets less IN
the way of real efficiency out of each dollar
it spends on its military establishment
than anv other nation. Those best in
formed from military standpoint, believe
that our military efficiency can be tremend-
ously increased without proportionate IN
crease in military expenditures, and with
out adopting the policies of the war lords OF
Europe. They believe, too, that such an in
crease in our military efficiency will pro-
tect us from foreign encroachments that
NAV provoke war. 1t does not follow either
that they are in accord with the injunction
that we ''speak softly but carry big stick"
They propose rather that we make 1t plain
to the worlds DULLES that we not only have
the timber from which "big sticks" may be
cut. but that we also have the tools with
which to cut them quickly.

AS usual at this season, the "crop-killer"
is abroad in Kansas. Unfortunately, the eft
forts of this perennial pest are being en-
couraged by insect pests that work on the
wheat, rather than the public mind recent
report of the State Board of Agriculture es-
Inmates that the wheat crop, for the state at
large, has been damaged twelve per cent by
Hessian fy and chinch bugs, indicating that
the states 1915 wheat yield has been cut
down something like eighteen million bushels
by insect pests. This is a tremendous loss
Such loss would make the wheat crop OF
most states but Kansas minus quantity
But Kansas can stand the loss and still lead
the Union in wheat production. 1t is par
ticularly annoying at this time, though, for
the reason that great percentage OF the loss
is due to gross heedlessness. 1t could have
been avoided had farmers more generally
acted on suggestions made from the State
Agricultural College last fall. Where these
suggestions were followed the damage from
Hessian fly is negligible. President Waters
of the Agricultural College announces that
campaign against the Hessian fly will be
made, beginning at once. 1t is to be hoped
that Kansas wheat-growers may profit by the
lesson of this years loss and enlist with the
Agricultural College staff to make the gong
hard for the Hessian fly

However active the "crop-killer' may be,
there is one fact that cannot be wiped out
Secretary Moher estimates that the l9lo
wheat yield in Kansas will be l3o million
bushels, after conceding that the crop has been
seriously damaged by insect pests. SO the
"crop-killer" must resign himself to the tact
that the state is producing the second largest
crop of wheat in its history, second .! only
to the tremendous yield OF l8O million
bushels in 1914. Measured in dollars to the
producers, this years crop may indeed be the
largest in the states history, for the reason
that grain marketed in the six weeks succeed
ing harvest will bring around fifty per cent
more money at the primary markets than it
did in 1914, unless prices slump tremendously.
So Kansas hasn't much to complain of after
all.
