Popular Government is Over
thrown in South Dakota!
Shall the People Rule?

Odicialdom has repealed the Richards
primary law which the people adopted
by direct vote in 1912, and which the
people themselves, refused to repeal by
second vote in 1914. The 1918 legis
lature, nevertheless, repealed it and also
attached the emergency clause to pre-
vent the people from referring this ac-
ton of the legislature to vote
The politicians do not want the Rich
ards law. They want the secret spois
system for the few, in place of the open
merit system for every body. They do
not want plain ballot They went the
present confused ballot They do not
want issues discussed so the people can
hear both sides before they vote as is
provided in the Richards law
The people have therefore again petit
toned for the Richards law in amended
form to be voted on at November eiec
ton. Vote "YES and put it back to
give it a fair trial and let officialdom
know that Under God the People Rule

Same sweet stars in the sky above.
With light like the light in the eyes

Same old round o. the rosy years;
Same old sorrows you see through
tears;
Same old road, and same old race
To u with a dream of the Farewell
Place.

To match their fire where the light

And you hear the loud war-thunders

Till they shake the graves at a war

crossed
Where the Rachels weep for their
children lost;
Same old road where the burdened
race
Take tears and dreams to the Fare
well Place.
And with right and wrong we press
along
From night to the dream of a MORN

Same sad story of sorrows old;
Same sweet joys that the heart would

And the wounded breast still sighs
for rest
And rest comes sweet when God
thinks best,
And we glimpse the light of the morn.

Which gives you a bit of a ~heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear.
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way,
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone,
That you had no time nor thought for
With troubles enough of your own
The little acts of Kindness,
So easily out of mind;
These chances to be angels
Which every mortal finds.
They come in night and silence,
Each chill, reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging
And a blight has dropped On faith :.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion,
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing o do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you the bit of heartache

Before and After Marriage


We group tour stories for the ben
eft of after-dinner speakers whose
topic allows the introduction of mar
rage jokes:
From the Western Christian Adyo-
cate (Methodist):
One man said to another: ..But
on your income, are you justified in
marrying?"
Not at all" the other admitted.
THE girl has no money, | under

Not a bob"
And they tell me she's got rather
extravagant ideas?"
That's the truth. ."
Then, my dear fellow, what rea-
son have you for taking this very Sc
rious step?'
Reason? No reason whatever.
I'm In love.
From the Waterman Examiner
tBaptist):
At a wedding breakfast the BRIDE
groom, an exceedingly bashful young
man, was called upon to speak, in
spite of the fact that he had pleaded
to be excused. B~lushing to the roots
OF his hair, he rose. intending to say
that he was no speechmaker, but, un-
fortunately placing his hand on the
brides shoulder, he stammered these
opening land closing, words:
"This-er-this thing has been thrust
upon me-"
From the Truth Seeker (Agnos-
tie):
Ethel Barrymore tells this as a
leap ear story of timely notice:
"A girl" she said, looked calmly
at a caller n evening and remark
ed:
George. as IL is leap year.
THE caller turned rather pale.
As IL is leap year. she continued

hardly any"
The father replied impromptu:
why. eyebrows are-er-eyebrows
they are to keep the sweat from

But, Father" protested Walter,
