DEMOCRATS BECOMING ACTIVE

The democrats of South Dakota are
commencing to sit up and take notice
of the possibilities of the coming
campaign in South Dakota. With a
national democratic administration
and with all the federal places in
South Dakota filled by democrats,
they expect to make a better showing
ing in South Dakota next year than
ever before.
Already several democratic candi-
dates for governor are being mention
ed. Among them are Orville Rine.

LONDON's LEADING LINES

If the many owners of weekly news
papers throughout the state were
half as good looking after their own
interests, as are all other profession
al men, there would be only a few
members of the last legislature re-
turned to Pierre at the next round
up. Pardon us, but it is true when
we say. that the country newspaper
has done more to build up South Da-
kota than all the Legislatures we have
ever had-we could not create jobs at
from $1,000 to $500 per year, but the
country press by its everlasting boost
ing is greatly responsible for the won
derful growth we have had and are
now enjoying, and it does make US
hot as--well never mind, when our
gallant n statesmen completely
overlook things which would assist
the commonwealth, and ride the
newspapers up and down the legisla-
tive halls at q mile minute clip.
The Press man has mended his ways,
cut out lot of his meanness, quit
smoking cigarettes, ETC., and darn our
hide, in the next campaign this news
paper is going to be strictly "profes-
slonal" .-Kadoka Press.

HELPFUL TO THE PEOPLE

just how close the democratic law
creating federal reserve banking
board touches the average citizen is
shown in the inevitable effect of it's
recent order forbidding rediscount
by reserve banks of paper bearing a
higher rate of interest than per
cent. This practically bars from
participation in the benefits of large
bank Of rediscount every bank that
practices usury, and means lower in
terest rates in the smaller towns.
Here is an object lesson to show that
the democratic party has the interest
of the masses at heart in it's legisla.
ton that should not be overlooked.
The republicans promised for years
to re-create the banking system of
the country, but failed because the
republican party is controlled by
those elements that reformed bank
ing system would deprive of profits
to which they were not rightfully
entitled.

BARRED FROM THE MAILS

Four forms of mail matter said to
have been extensively used by per-
sons desiring to indicate their SYM
pathies in connection with the Eu-
ropean war were barred from the
mails as unneutral today by Post
master General Burleson. The order
follows:
"Postmasters are directed to treat
as non mailable, under section 212 of
the penal code (section 481. postal
laws and regulations), envelopes, post
cards, etc, bearing stickers contain
ing the words, or having printed
thereon words, 'Gott Straf England, >
or picture of the German escutcheon
with red blot labeled 'Lusitania,'
inscribed The Blot that Won't Com e
Off, as being not only unneutral but
calculated to reflect upon certain
classes of persons.

BEGINS EXTENSION WORK

The first organized extension work of
the state university was begun at Pierre
last week. DR.. Jones of the Depart
ment of Education, went to Pierre last
Saturday to organize classes and plan
the work for the eighteen teachers who
are enrolled. Some of the teachers are
doing undergraduate work and others
are working towards the masters de.
gree. Two courses will be given;
course in practice and one in reading.
During the year DR.. Jones expects
to make some half dozen visits to the
Capital City, where the work that has
been done will be carefully checked up,
new material outlined and phases of
the subjects taken up by lectures.
DR.. Jones in speaking of the venture
of the university into extension work,
said he was glad that Pierre was to
have the first extension as the teachers
Pierre were the first to make an insis-
tent call for it. Other requests, he
said, had come from different parts of
the state and they were to be attended
to as soon as time permitted. Dakota

SOUTH DAKOTA GETS RATE

South Dakota is to participate in the
reduced rates on canned goods and dried
fruits from Pacific coast points; thanks
to the ruling just made by the Inter-
state Commerce commission. In July
the transcontinental freight bureau
scheduled such reduced rates, but at the
request of the Southern Pacific railway
ommitted South Dakota. Our railroad
commissioners protested on this condi-
ton, and a telegram from Secretary
McGinty, of the federal commission,
carried the news that the protest has
been honored.

UP TO THE COURT NOW

The matter, where the validity of the
rieht OF the legislature to change
any provision of the law initiat-
ed and enacted by vote of the people
occupied the attention of all memhars
OF the supreme court Saturday. This
matter is uppermost in the minds of
the electors of this state at this time
ana people residing in other states with
like provisions in their constitution are
giving the matter much attention.
Mr.. Richards attacks the proposed
or new primary, which was enacted bv
the last legislative assembly, and which
seeks to repeal the enactment which he
secured through the initiative.
The contention was over the nroner
construction of the language used in the
imtlatlve amendment, which was the
hrst to be made a part of the constitu-
tlonal law OF any other state. This
amendment does not contain the great
er restrictions placed upon legislative
enactment or changes covering initiated
laws, which are contained in those of
states which took up the issue later and
which evidently attempted to cover the
weak spots shown by the effort in this
state.
The contentious of Mr., Richards are:
The main general contention of the de-
tense is that to permit the legislature
to IN any way change Initiated acts.
makes the initiative a mere farce. and
without any binding effect. That there
should be supreme legislative power.
under such system, and that such
power is with the people who enact. To
allow dual coordinate legislative power
to the people and the legislature wou!d
mean confusion and legal anarchy.
They contend that the provisions of the
initiative amendment which leaves with
the legislature or any member thereof
the right to propose any laws which
they desire means just the same as it
does where the right to '.propose',is
used in relation to constitutional amend
ments, carrying with 1t the necessity
of sending such measures to the people
for vote, and not to give the members
or the legislature the right to enact re-
gardless of the will of the voters therasr
selves.
The contention of the state was that
when the initiative amendment was
adopted it was an experiment. and the
people did not intend it as complete
direct legislation. but merely as plan
bv which they could command the leg
islatnre to enact any law which they
desired and sent it back for vote. and
that when it thus became a law, it had
the same standing as any other law.
with no rights of itself, but subject to
legislative action as any other law.
That they also provided for the refer
endum to hold in check any effort Of
the legislature to repeal any Of their
acts. In regard the use of a two
thirds to declare an act as an ..emerp-
ency'' act, their contention was that
even If such action was demonstrations
al as to the use of the emergency it
would not affect the constitutionality Of
the act itself.
L. M. Null and A. K. Gardner of
huron, argued for the appellant, and
3. 5. Payne, assistant attorney gener-
al, represented the state.

THE RED-HANDED AssAssINs

The Plain Talk: The unspeak a BILE
Turk is at it again. For the past two
weeks reports have been coming in of
horrible atrocities inflicted on helpless
Armenians. Thousands upon thousands
have been butchered. and the reported
accounts of the fendish cruelties of the
Moslem barbarians are almost beyond
belief. In some sections whole towns
are denuded of their former occupants,
stores looted. and Armenians slain or
driven from their homes. A Christian
world will shed no tears of regret if the
oft-threatened dismemberment of Tur-
key becomes fact.

WHY PACIFIC MAIL GOES OUT

Just at present the Pacific Mail

the public that it is going out of the

cause it is being driven out by the

that the Pacific Mail is a corporation

at the last session if vote could
have been reached. The sum of three
millions, the amount to be paid for
the canal option and for the naval
base at Fonseca Bay, is a very rea-
sonable compensation for the right

Tungsten Is Shipped East.

Copper is not the only metallic sub stance that is being shipped east from Arizona, where it finds its way into war material. It is reported that the Primos Chemical company of Primos, Pa., is actively engaged in mining tungsten ore in the Dragon mountains in Cochise county.
 The tungsten is sacked and shipped to Primos, Pa., from where the finished product is shipped to large steel and iron working plant to be used in the steel which is going into certain war materials that have been contracted for by one or more of the European governments engaged in the big war.
 A force of sixty men is at work on the tungsten property and quite large quantity of the ore is being taken out of the ground. Before the war broke out the greater part of the tungsten finished product of the United States was shipped to Europe. Tucson Citizen.
