THE RULE OF THE PEOPLE.

The Saturday News is not particularly concerned about the
repeal of the Richards primary law by the legislature, for the
opinion prevails in the editorial mind that in due process of time
the people will be found abundantly able to take care of themselves
and of their interests, despite the overweaning desire of politicians
or so-called statesmen to nulify the principle that the right to
govern rests upon the consent of the governed.
Politicians, for some strange and inexpicable reason, never
seem to learn from experience. 1t was because the old regime in
Il LAT has driven practically every member of the old element into
political exile.
But the new machine is following along in the same footsteps.
AT the zenith of its power il deliberately repeats a law which the
people themselves adopted, employing the so-caIed emergency
clause, contemplated by the spirit of the constitution to be resorted
to only as a means of preserving life and limb and for the protec-
ton of property against riot or revolution. "
What a farce to declare that n "emergency' exists with
reference to q primary law! The people nominated their party
candidates under that law in 1914. Afterwards they refused to
repeal the law and substitute another which was offered.
And yet the Legislature, in its supreme wisdom, fearing that if
TIE law were continued over another campaign the state house might
be blown up, taking with it every vestige Of state oficialdom
along with all the archives which we have been years in collecting,
saw fit to invoke the emergency and to restore to the statutes a
law which the people rejected when they adopted the Richards
primary measure.
Our august body of Lawmakers obviously assumed that the
people would forgive the act and condone the ofense because of
the complications surrounding the primary law, and possibly, even
probably, the legislators may suffer no serious consequences on a-
cound of their behavior, but nevertheless it is a precedent that
will "come home home to roost'' in the future.
There will come a day in South Dakota when no man will brave
which the people themselves place upon their statutes.

CONCERNING PUBLIC REGULATION.

1t is true, perhaps, that public agitation with reference to rail
road regulation and control may have had q depressing effect upon
railroad properties throughout the United States, but it is observed
that with comparatively few exceptions, those railways whose stocks
have never been unduly inflated and whose bonds have never been
manipulated by high finance methods are able to pay dividends.
President Samuel Rea, Of the Pennsylvania ranroad, which very
recently declared dividends above six per cent, declares that there
is yet need of "a constructive and equitable policy of regulation,
not as a palliative, but as permanent public and business necessity
1t has been the belief of the Saturday News for a long time
that the worst enemies to railroad progress and railroad develop
nent have been certain stock manipulators who have undertaken. to
reap great profits out of a condition Of which they have taken adj
vantage. Included in this class of jobbersa are certain railroad
managers themselves, aided and Allotted by such w~Orld-famed bank
es as have been associated with the Morgan interests.
1t is refreshing to note that such able managers as President
Rea take issue with the attempt to stem the time in favor of reason
able regulation. 1t is either reasonable regulation or governmental
ownership, as this paper views the situation, and such men as Sam
uel Rea are wise enough to realize the trend,
Besides, Mr.. Rea and men of his class Know that the future
safety of railroad interests rests largely upon that reasonable reg
ulation for which he enters a plea.

NEWSPAPER AMENITIES.

Contrary to the general run Of humanity within newspaper cir
ces, there exists in WatertoWn today an agreeableness among its
newspapers that is probably characteristic Of Thu. growing tendency
IN the city to get together and stay together for the furtherance of
the interests Of the community.
Not long since the daily paper paid the retiring manager Of the
Saturday News very high compliment and wished for him 8 full
measure of success in his new home.
Last week, commenting on q statement by this paper to the
effect that 1t was under obligations to the management for courteses
extended, the WatertoWn Herald spoke very kindly DC Mr.Cory, the
Saturday News present manager,

coNsrANrrEopLE 4 RUSSIAN DREAM.

Ever since Russia IS Constantine dreamed of an open port in
the tepid waters of the great seas Russia has been hoping steadfast-
Az for the realization of the dream.
Once Constantinopie was practically within the Russian grasp,
but the great Bears designs were frustrated BY European powers.
Then, years afterward, Russia sought an outlet on Asiatic shores
through Its war with Japan-and again its hopes fell short of real
ization through the intervention of the powers.
While it appears that the result Of the war was a virtual Vie
tory for Japan, the Fact scarcely admits of denial that Japan was
close to the end Of its financial resources, while Russia had hardly
begun to- feel the effects Of the war.
Again, in the present war, Russia is pressing on to the goal.
The allied fleet is pounding on the Notifications of the Dardanelles,
which, once opened, will throw constantnople into the lap of Great
Britain and Russia.
Whether, in the event of the success Of the allies in the war,
Russia would e privileged to enjoy the fruits of its long cherished
ambition Isl probematical, at least conjectnral, but the probability
MS that the Russian demand would have to be conceded by her allies,
FIR Russia for months past has been withstanding the brrnt Of the
German attack.
Napoleon ii said to have declared that the nation which holds
andisputed sway M Constantinople will rule the world. Whether
tns view ~ justified the future alone can disclose, but there are
Sothers than Napoleon who agree with the opinion expressed BY the
great soldier ef fortune, namely, that eventually the world will be

A STATE BUNK U

Representative Tom johnson OF Meade county, in one of h
ayful moods at Pierre, introduced a mock resolution which
house rent that the Saturday News herewith accords it space
columns, commencing it to the thoughtful consideration
ose suffering mortals who cannot make an honest living on Il
salaries they draw from the state treasury:
House concurrent resolution.
introduced by Mr.. johnson of Meade.
Relative to legislative lodging house.
BE it resolved by the house of representatives, of the
legislature of the state of South Dakota, the senate con
curing:
That Whereas. The executive and judicial and coor-
dinate branches of the state government under the eonsti-
tuition;
And Whereas, the salaries fixed by the constitution are
three thousand dollars per year for the governor, three
thousand dollars per year for each of the judges of the su-
preme court, and fye dollars per day for each member of
the legislature;
And Whereas, there is annually appropriated and ex-
pended by the state for house rent for the governor and
each Of the judges of the supreme court the sum Of six
hundred dollars per year, in addition to said salaries;
And whereas, there are now pending bills designed to
make similar appropriations to Their state officers;
And Whereas, the Legislature, by concurrent resolution
already adopted, has under. consideration the. erection of a
governor s mansion;
And Whereas it might be advisable for the state to
own residences for the judges of the supreme court instead
Of expanding three thousand dollars yearly rent therefor;
And Whereas, the expense to members of the legdat-
lire Of lodging in the city of Pierre is so great as to leave
little Of said five dollars per day:
And Whereas, members OF the legislature should be en-
Titled to- consideration proportionately to the executive and
judiciary IN allowances above said constitutional salary;
Wherefore, be it resolved, that a committee OF three be
appointed BY the speaker. to act with d like committee from
the senate, to consider the a~dvisahility and ascertain and
report the cost Of the erection Of q lodging or bunk house
and kitchen for use of the members Of the legislature, said
house 10 be OF unpretentious appearance, to contain three
rooms for the lieutenant governor, two for the speaker,
and one for each senator and representative, a sitting room,
dining room, and kitchen, the rooms to be plainly furnished
each withsa bed, 4 table, two chairs, a looking glass, and a
~washboWl; provided, that in case the house concurs, the
room Of each senator shall have a rug and bureau.

THE FIFTY DOLLAR ALLOWANCE.

The Sioux Falls ArgusLeader, referring to the allowance of
fifty dollars a month for certain state officers, in addition TO their
constitutional salaries, declares that it is the rule in many states
and, furthermore, that the constitutional salary and the allowance
combined do not furnish more than reasonable compensation for
the services of the officers receiving it.
This my all be true-but il the members of the supreme court
are entitled to extra compensation, above the constitutional linn
itation, SO are the other state officers, and SO are the members Of
the legislature.
1t is not the amount involved that arouses the apprehension of
the Saturday News-it is the principle involved. Il. is admitted
that the three thousand dollars stipulated as salary for the governor
and the members of the supreme court is a misery sum for the
purpose stated, but the governor knew this before becoming a can
didate; the supreme court knew it; the railroad commissioners
knew it-eyerybody knew it.
II these various distinguished gentlemen are not willing to
serve the people for the constitutional salary, they should have said
so before accepting the responsibilities Of office and should either
have declined to take the oath or should have publicly proclaimed
constitutional channel.

Unnecessary Waste of Valuable Fertiliz-
er Results from Careless Methods.

The Indiana experiment station de-
clares that undoubtedly the greatest loss
sustained from improper methods Of
handling manure is due to teaching.
Fermentation affects only the nitrogen,
but all the valuable fertilizing constitu-
ents are lost when manure is allowed
TO lie in the open barnyard exposed TO
the teaching effects of the rains. Practi-
eally all the losses from teaching may
be easily prevented if proper precau-
tions are taken. This has been clearly
demonstrated by the Ohio station. As
an average OF tnree tests at that sta
tion. where fattening steers were fed IN
stalls on good floors, 81 per cent of the
nitrogen. s2S per cent of the phosphoric
acid and s2.4 per cent of the potash con-
tanned in the feed and bedding used were
recovered in the manure produced. In
these tests the manure was allowed TO
accumulate in the stalls where the ami.
mails kept il tightly compactcd.
Another experiment conducted by the
Ohio station to determine the relative
efficiency Of earth and concrete floors
under the shelter for retaining the fer
tilizer constituents Of manure showed
