NEW PRIMARY LAW
What New Primary Requires in Detail
By County Auditor Of Mime.
haha County.

Sioux Falls.-Harry Howe. CO.
unity aaaditor Of Minnehaha coun.
~, at the request of the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader, has prepar-
ed the following outline of the
provisions of the primary law
which, by grace Of the South
Dakota Legislature and the state
supreme court, is now a law of
the state:
In a general way, the new pri-
mary law is a reenactment of
the first primary law passed in
this state, with the addition Of
the new Richards registration
feature revamped and amplified.
candidates are nominal ted by
petit:Un.A petition for state Of
flee must be filed with the sec-
retary of state at beast six weeks
prior to the primary election ;
for county office, with the
county auditor at Least thirty
days before the primary. A can-
didate must not circlrlate his
own petition. A petition for CO.
unity office must contain not less
than three per cent nor more
than five Ter cent. Of the mum
ber OF votes last east for the
party candidate for governor.
Thus, in Minnehaha county, a
repubEicsm petition must be sign
ed by not less than seventy-eight
nor more than l3O names; a de-
mocratn petition by not less
than fOrty-eight nor more than
eighty; a socialist or prohibition
petition by not less than five mol
more than eight.
"The next primary will be
held on Tuesday, June 6, 1916.
Signatures must bbe attached to
a petition within three months
before a primary, or not before
March Z, 1916. Anyone who de-
sires to run for precinct COM
mitteeman of his precinct sim
ply prepares his own ballots and
delivers them to the judge of
the primary, but the voters
may cross out any such name
and write i'm another ii he
chooses.
1.-The reg stration feature Of
this primary law is remarkable.
The man who wrote it made pro-
vision for cleaning the political
fields for voters in the same
thorough manner that Ruth
CLEANED certain grain fields on
a former occasion. There rs much
ragnlaaOle I'M the law of interest
only to candidates or those
dabb.ing i'm the politb game,
but the average voter may avoid
that and simply bear in mind

MUSIC AND LANGUAGE WORDS
WeII.known Musician Explains the
Divisions Known as Melody
and Harmony.

AS you know, the single notes are
the letters of the music language.
Groups Of notes are the words Of the
music language. In a spoken language,
the letters are always sounded one
after the other. In the music language
they are sometimes sounded one after
the other and sometimes simultan-
eously.
This fact explains two important di-
visions Of music, namely, melody and
harmony. In a general way, melody
consists Of single tones heard one after
the other; combinations of tones heard
simultaneously are called harmony. A
word Of the music language may con-
sist of several tones in succession like
a word Of the spoken language, which
consists of several letters in success
sion.
On the other hand, word of the
music language may consist Of several
tones heard simultaneously, which is
impossible in language. Some of the
most important words of the music
language are those which are used
in both these ways, and it is one of the
great charms Of music that its words
can be heard in these two ways.-Dr.
Rudolf Won Liebich, in Woman's World.

SURE OF ONLY ONE THING
Wellington Could Tell Little Of Battle
Plans, But He Know hlmSelf
and uXbridoe.

Wellington's reticence once drew q
protest from Lord Uxbridge, the bril-
liant cavalry leader who lost leg at
Waterloo. On the eve Of the great bat
tie Uxbridge, although next to Yelling
ton In command, knew nothing Of his
chiefs plans for the morrow's battle.
With trepidation he approached the
duke. If Wellington were killed Tx
bridge would become commander in
chief. What was the plan? The duke
listened patiently.
Tell me, Uxbridge, who viii attack
the first tomorrow or Bonaparte?"
, Undoubtedly Bonaparte."
well, Bonaparte hasn't given me
any idea Of his projects, and as my
plans depend upon his plans, how can
you expect me to tell you miner"
Uxbridge bowed and was about to re.
tire when the duke added in the
friendliest way: There's one thing
certain, Uxbridge, whatever happens
you and will do our duty"

"The Ideal cataIoqus.D

A librarians idea of the most useful
form of catalogue for a library is given
as follows:
"The ideal catalogue for a public II
brary is one published with one line
entries, each being about twice as long
as the average newspaper column is
wide. This catalogue is published in
the form Of newspaper, on cheap
paper, cheaply printed. It is sold by
the library at about two cents a
copy. The copies sold are soon worn
out or thrown away and do rot come
back In after years to veX tue nbrar-
ian. The library keeps the whole
thing In type, takes out some titles ev-
cry month, adds new ones, and prints
new edition. This catalogue con.
tains author entries only. If a man
wishes to know anything about the
books in the public library that this
catalogue does not tell he goes to the
library and finds out by asking; If he
wishes information concerning books
on certain subject he goes to bibli.
ography Of that subject; If he wishes
to know certain specific things about
certain books he asks to see the books
themselves"

FINALLY KNEW HIS VISITOR
Meeting Of President THEIRS and
French Soldier q Sample Of
country's Democracy.

Monsieur Theirs, the FIRST president
Of the third French republic, is the
subject Of the following amusing
anecdote:
The president went to visit Mar
seilles, his native city, and one day,
while wandering through the streets,
he saw a sentinel in front Of the Mon
taux barracks who had set his gun
aside and, squatting in his sentry box,
was enjoying a huge piece Of bread
and cheese. The president approached
the man and said:
"Eh, bien, my friend, is the regi-
mental food good enough?"
why dost thou ask7" rejoined the
soldier, employing the familiar second
person singular.
Because It interests me considera-
bly," replied the president.
The soldier thought his queBtioner
was probably some member Of the
regiment, but since he was wearing
civilian clothes It was no part Of the
sentry's duty to salute him. To each
question as to whether he was q cor
poral, sergeant, lieutenant or captain,
the president replied that he was
greater than that. When the sentry,
with his mouth full Of cheese, said:
well, then you must be the gen.
eral." The president replied, 1.-THE
generals obey me-"
"You want to make me believe you
are the minister of war;" exclaimed
the astonished soldier.
81 am more than minister of war;"
replied the president, blandly.
Then you can't be anyone but Pa
pa Theirs. Here, take the bread and
cheese, while l present arms to you!"

Japan NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD
Eastern Empire Has Through the
Centuries Retained Keen Sense
Of lite individuality.

Japanese history has been the rec
ord of a practically uninterrupted ra-
cial life. The islands which consti-
tute the empire Of Japan have not only
never been conquered, they have
never been invaded, writes Hamilton
w. Mabie in the Outlook.
The emperor now reigning is the
1920 Of his dynasty; the development
of the life Of the people, whatever
uninterrupted by disturbance from
without Il has been deeply influenced
by Asiatic ideals and conventions; but
the foreign ideals and manners which
have found acceptance by the jap
anese have made their way by persua-
sion, not by arms.
Japan differs radically from the
other countries of the East In its pos
session Of a sensitive national con-
seriousness and Of a thorough and min
ute social and political organization.
In this respect 1t stands in striking
contrast to other oriental countries.
So far as the feeling Of radical unity
dhu inc SOhSSASuSASSh VI DhoaP AS Nv
fined national aims and interests are
concerned, India and China have been
mere geographical terms, conveying
no such group Of ideas, convictions,
and mental habits as the word Italy,
France and England convey.
Japan, on the other hand, has as
keen sense of its individuality, SO as
to speak, as any western nation; and
in point Of thoroughness Of organize
ton stands beside Germany. The i'm.
mense significance of this fact has
not yet been recognized in the West.

John eower,s Monument.

The most interesting monument in
the cathedral upon the possession Of
which Southwark bases her claim to
be city is perhaps that of Chaucers
great contemporary, John Cover, re-
marks the London Chronicle. Covers
three great works were written each
in different language. His "Specu-
lum Meditantis" was written in
French, the language Of the court; his
"Vox Claimants" in Latin, the Ian
guages Of the learned; his third, "The
Confessions of a Lover" was written
in kings English, at the request of
his king, Richard II.
For the story goes that Cover, row.
ing on the Thames one day, was hailed
by the royal barge. Book some new
thing" said the king, into which
book may often look" No one reads
today Covers French or Latin books.
A few students read a little Of his
Confessions of a Lover" But Cow
er's fame has survived, and all who
wish may see him lying today-in
effigy-in Southwark cathedral, his
head pillowed on his three works.
