CONCERNING THE INITIATIVE.

The Sioux Falls ArgusLeader, which has been very outspoken
for the sanctitty Of the initiative and referendum and which has Wig
orousg set forth its views regarding the wisdom of the supreme
court decision, sustaining the right of the legislature to amend or
repeal an initiated law, says:
1--WE still have tn. initiative, such az it is. The people,
can go through the motions of voting on a initiated law.
Then the legislature can repeal it, if it Should carry. Then,
the referendum can be invoked, and then the Legislature can
again set it aside, and the merry-goround will continue until
the people get tired. If this is not abandoning the initiative
as a practical weapon, we do not know what such abandon
ment would consist o.
Theoretically, the ArgusLeader comments are well founded
it might be made a sort OF merry-go-round until the people might
become weary in well going. Nevertheless, it is improbable that a
legislature would monkey with IN initiated law the second tlma
following the rejection of its proposed amendment.
The Saturday News, while it has expressed itself as having no
serious objection to the supreme courts decision III view OF It's pro-
nouncement regarding the emergency, believes that it was not the
contemplation of the original proposers of the principle of the iniz
tiative and referendum that the legislature would have the right
of either amendment or repeal, Notwithstanding the courts citation
CT other state constitutions where the provision is specific to this
effect. The court holds that If the proposers of the proposition had
intended to deny the legislature the right OF tmker1ng with al lnl
tiated law, they would have so provided.
1t must be remembered that the initiative and referendum have
been a part of our constitution for many years and that when it was
proposed there was no fear that the Legislature, would attempt to-
usurp the power to repeal an initiated measure"
It would assuredly be a bold legislative body that would seek
to repeal or materially to amend an initiated law a second time fol
lowing a vote Of the people indicating their satisfaction with its oper-1
alton.
Boss-driven legislatures do very queer things. we admit, but IT
a South Dakota legislature should undertake such a thing, even at
the behest of a political machine, we shall be ready to grant that
South Dakota is scarcely fitted for self-government-

TAFT ROOT.

1t would have been better for Mr.. Roots chances for the nomina-
ton had not William Howard Taft given his candidacy the weight
of a personal endorsement.
Mr.. Taft has grown somewhat since he was president. He has
shown himself to be a greater man than his course as president lndir
Gated ON the surface.
But Mr.. Taft is a reactionary of the most pronounced type.
The Saturday News believes that it would be 6 great mistake for
President Wilson to elevate the former president to the supreme
court bench in the event of the resignation of Chief Justice White
having gone forth to- some extent that such is Mr.. Wilson'S
intentions.
Taft's elevation to the supreme court bench would set the court
back half a generation-and it is generally admitted that our courts
as a rule are already too far behind the times

GREAT BEND POSSIBILITIES.

Power on missouri. River.
Mitchell, S. D.-"A power plant in
stalled at Great Bend, on the Nilsson
ri river, would produce about 10000
horse power which could be changed
into electrical energy and sold at
about one-hfth the present rate
charged by the electrical companies
This statements made by John Z.
Nelson, formerly county surveyor OF
Dawson count, as the result OF two
surveys at that point. Great Bend
is situated south Of Pierre and seven
ty-eight miles northwest Of Mitchell.
'The gigantic hook of the Nilsson
ri river" said Mr.. Nelson, was caus-
ed by a chain Of $50 foothills, which
forces the river to make a circuit
of twenty-six miles coming back to
within a mile and three-quarters of
the beginning of the bend. If a canal
were cut through this neck, one could
create a 22-foot head OF water.
The flow of the river, according
to the river gauging station Of Bis
marck. N. D., is 10000 feet minimum,
which would give at this point more
than 10000 horse power capable of
being changed into electrical energy
and sold at about one-ifth the rate
(which the various electrical power
companies in the state must charge
in order to make a profit, with the
present expensive means Of producing
power
The development of this project has
been considered q number of times
! but abandoned because of the large
initial cost. Ait present the Mitchell
Street Railway and I%nterurban com
pany is making investigations and es-
Inmates relative to erecting a power
plant at this site to supply electrical
power forsthe operation of the street
railway lines in Mitchell and inter
urban lines surrounding. Doubtless
if such a power plant was erected,
many towns in this secion Of the state
would be able to secure electrical
current for lights and power.

General Beadle a generation ago was one Of the most prominent

A Colorado man, according to the forest service, United States
Of agriculture, Denver, has applied for a permit to es-
tabhsh a skunk farm on the San Isabel forest. Sixty acres of land
are desired, ten to be used as a breedngpen, ten for the raising Of
garden truck and forage, and forty as pasture for horses and cows.
The applicant PLANS to start with five hundred adult skunks, and
by maintaining half a dozen cows to supply milk for the kittens, to
raise two itters a year. It's obviously going to be a farm wherein
action will speak londer than words
Commenting on the statement Of the Aberdeen News that a
little boomlet has started for Jack Lockhart for governor, the
Bookings Register states it has seen slots worse governors than
Jack Lockhart would make were he honored with the job" The
saturday News agrees with its Brookings contemporary concerning
the sort of man Lockhart is-but Il ventures to suggest that it will
be very much surprised if Lockhart becomes a candidate at all for
the election ofs19l6. The boomlat was not inaugTEated with Cock
harris knowledge and it will not receive serious consideration by the
gentleman, in our opinion.
The forest reserve department reports that automatic guns, set
to fire blank shotgun shells at intervals of one, two or three hours,
were successfully used on the Medicine Bow forest, Wyoming, dur
ing the past grazing season to keep coyotes from the lambnag and
feeding grounds.
Now that cold weather has arrived, it might be well to remind
that a gallon of alcohol inside the radiator has q greater
tendency to- prevent the thing from freezing up than a barerl Of
