RICHARDS REPLIES

About ten days ago r. o. Richards
received a letter signed by Father Rob
est w. Hare, Ex-Governor Andrew Lee,
and other leaders of the state admins
tration of 1898, urging him to test in
the caurts the right of the legislature
to repeal a law enacted by direct vote
of the people, says a Huron despatch.
Mr.. Richards reply to these gentle
men follows:
"Rt. Rev. Robert w. Hare, Aber-
deem, S. ID. Dear Sir: l beg to ac-
knowledge receipt of your letter of re-
cent date, joined in by Ex-Governor

Lee, ct al, urging a test of the con-
st%itutionality of the Norbeck primary
law, enacted by the last legislature to
repeal the primary law enacted by a
direct vote of the people.
"The people of this state are GER
tainly sovereign, and the Legislature is
an instrumentality for the exercise of
this sovereignty. There can be no ques-
ton but hat under article 3 of the con
stitution, the legislature has power to
~legislate OIL all subjects, SO long as
such legislation does not conflict with
the will of the whole people, expressed
in the constitution or laws enacted by
the people through a direct vote.
1T is of the greatest Importance
that the supreme court of this state,
as well as the United States supreme
court, if necessary, should finally set
tie the validity of this repeating pri-
mary law of 1915, before any rights I'M
der this law are claimed. 1t will I'M
q~uestionably avoid an endless litigation
that is certain to arise in an attempt
to enforce it.
Along the line of your suggestion of
legal action, the law firms of Null &
Royhl, and Cardnes & Churchill, of this
place, have been employed to i..stitute
an Injunction proceeding to restrain
the Beadle county auditor from buying
the registration books and supplies, to
carry out the provisions of the Norbeck
primary law, for the purpose of testing
its constitutiOnality in the courts. The
courts will be asked to determine
whether the people or their servants
are supreme in legislation. Hoping we
may be successful in preserving the
peoples constitutional rights, with
kindest greetings, most sincerely yours,
r. O. Richards"

SPARKS CIRCUS COMING

Unless the weather is bad a big
crowd will be in town on show day,
Monday, June Z. Dry years, short
crops, closed factories and other mat.
tiers of minor consideration have but
little to do with the size of the crowds
who go to see the show.
TO those of US who have reached ma.
ture years, the annual coming of the
circus means little more than an 1,ur
or two of pleasant diversion from the
daily routine Of business affairs, but
to the small children it is a red-letter
day-an occasion to be remembered
through life. Who does not recall with
vivid memory the first circus they ever
saw? The sight of the big and fierce
looking animals, the music of the
bands, the funny antics of the clowns,
and the wonderful acrobatic feats of
the gaily-dressed performers, all make
indeliible impressions on the childish
mind, and, in their youthful fancy,
they are transported to a real wonder
land.
For a number of days the children
Of this city and vicinity have seen tine
vivid advertisements, where life-sized
beasts of the jungle seem ready to
spring upon them from every billboard
in town, and it goes without saying
that if the little folks had their way
about it every other matter would be
relegated to the background on show
day.
The circus has been condemned by a
few people as an evil institution, and
one that should not be patronized by
Christian people. We have never been
able to see it in that light. True, there
are some features that could be
changed so as to exert a better moral
influence, but on the other hand, there
are so many features that are educa-
tional. The wild animals, for instance.
There would not be one person in a
thousand that would ever see more
than the pictures of these animals were
it not for the circus. The wonderful
acrobatic performances have, no doubt,
encouraged many a youth to greater
achievements along physical lines by
noting the results obtained by constant
and persistent effort.
There may be some Objectionable
connected with shows, but our sympa-
thies are with the little boy or girl
who is compelled to stay at home or
in the school room while their associ-
ates go to the show and return to re-
late what they saw, with childish ex-
aggerations, to their less fortunate
playmates.

hard to turn, especially when the mo-

trouble is, and how can remedy it?
While this stiffness may be In any
Of the joints Of the linkage operated by
the spark lever, 1t Is most likely that
the breaker box Is too tight a fit, so
that when the motor becomes heated
the expansion Of the part on which 1t
fits causes 1t to stick. Disconnect the
breaker box from the linkage and note
whether 1t moves freely. If 1t does
not, remove 1t and rub the interior
surface with emery paper until enough
material has been removed to allow it
to work freely.

What is the easiest way of locating a
loose push rod?
A loose push rod can easily be found
by feeling with the hand. If there is
too much clearance between the stem
and the top Of the rod it can be as
certained by rafting the push rod, and
If this is the case 1t should be adjusted,
preferably while the motor is warm.
Make the space about one one-hun-
dredth Of an inch. or the thickness Of
a sheet Of writing paper.
IL the rod Is worn in the guide a GER
tain amount OF lateral movement will
be noticed when force Is applied to the
rod by the hand.

Many have fastened plates

worth the expenditure in time and

MYSTERY
SURROUNDS
!. BARN FIRE

A fire without a doubt of incendlary
origin and which is surrounded by the
most peculiar circumstances, occurred
this morning on the farm of Simon
Warner mile and a half east of
Mapleton and which resulted in twen-
ty head of horses and five head of cat
tie being burned, not to mention
everything else that the structure con-
tanned
There were four horses saved from
the fire and it is this fact that throws
a deepest mystery around the occur
ance. When the barn was discovered
TO be on fire at the Warner home 1t
was then too late to save any in the
building, but later two Of the horses
were found tied TO a pole near the
railroad track and later two others
were found some distance from the
place. having been turned loose. The
two animals found last were tied to-
gether.
The sherifrs office here was notified
and Sheriff J. G.. Ross and deputies
Immediately went to the scene of the
fire in an automobile. They made an
investigation and Sheriff Ross said to-
day that the fire was one of the most
peculiar things that he has yet come
across.
He stated that there was no doubt
in his mind that the barn had been set
afire but there is absolutely no motive
for such an act that can be found and
the sheriff said that the entire pro-
ceeding seems to him to be the work
of a demented person.
The fire occurred between / and 2
o'clock this morning and when the fire
was discovered il had reached stage
of development that made the saving
of anything in the structure an abso-
Lutte impossibility. The loss is very
heavy one to Mr.. Warner. who is one
OF the largest farmers in the Mapleton
vicinity and is noted for the fine
horses he keeps.
In addition to the twenty head of
horses and five head Of cattle burned,
there was a large amount OF nay.
grain, harness and other things of
value destroyed. 1t was one OF the
most disasterous farm fires that has
occurred In Cass county in years.

Syracuse, April 20.-Counself for Will

their case, today, after they offered
evidence calculated to prove the pub

uttered against the former chairman

Counsel for Barnes, who asks $50, 900
damages, placed only one witness, upon
the stand. He was John McGrath,

titled he gave out the statement com
