Thomas Frick should be Yankton

state senate. There Is not a better
qualified man In the county to pre-
sent the needs Of the c~itizensr AS a
farmer and stock raiser OF wide ex-
perience and progressive to the nth
degree, he will be able to consider the
interests of the agricultural popula-
tion with intelligence and judgement.
But he is more than a farmer and
stock raiser. He has a vision Of pub
lie duty that makes him a booster for
advancement along any line, whether
1t concerns itself with. country or city
problems, There would not be a pro-
blem presented In the legislature to
which he would not bring seasoned

Government OverthrOwn
in South Dakota!
Shall the People Rule?

Oficialdom has repealed the
Richards primary law which the
people adopted by a direct vote in
1912, and which the people, them
selves, refused to repeal by a Sc
cond vote in 1914. The 1915 le-
gislature, never the less, repealed
it and also attached the emergency
clause to prevent the people from
referring this act of the legislature
to a vote.
The politicians do not want the
Richards law. They want the Sc
cret spoils system for the few, in
place of the open merit system for
everybody. They do not want a
plain ballot. They want the pre-
sent 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
petitioned for the Richards law in
amended form to be voted on at
November election. Vote YES"
and put it back to give it a fair
trial, and let oficialdom know that

County School Notes.
BY Maud Z. Fites

Highlands district No. 30 has
lust installed a large heater in
it's school.
Every boy and girl in Bon HON
me County between the ages of
eight and sixteen years, inclusive.
should now be in school. The law
does not excuse the parent who
keeps his children out of work,
and the only valid excuse is a phi
steal condition which would pre-
vent, and this must be certified to
by a physician.
Every teacher in this county
should have her school room heat
ed and everything in working or
der before $3.50 O'Clock each school
day. Does your teacher do -this3
If not, she is unworthy Of the
name of teacher, and the pat
rons of her district have a perfect
right to see that such a condition
is remedied.
All teachers, who we're present
at the meeting Saturday, took
their library books, and the only
ones now remaining r those be-
longing to the following districts:
6, 10, II, 20, Fl, %, %, Al, 40,
66, 50, and "a. We trust that
these may also reach the schools
for which they are intended with
in the next few days.
The next teachers district in
stitutes will be held in the five
towns of the county early in De-
cember. At this time teachers
will report on one half of each OF
the two Reading Circle books Sc
lected by them. The notebooks
furnished from this Office will be-
accepted only, and the notes must
be taken in accordance with the
outlines in the notebook.
The first teachers district insti
tute was held at the Court HOUSE
4 in Tyndall last Saturday, and out
of the 1875 teachers in Bon Homme
County, 81 were present in spite
of the bad roads. The teachers
living in the four farthest of the
county, Alex Geist of Dist. 5, Vi
Wan Brown Of Dist. 9, Hatty Vel
lex of Dist So, and Oscar Schou-
bye of Dist. Is, were all present,
which speaks well for them in the
efforts they made to attend the
meeting. The program was es
pecially good, and we feel that
every teacher in attendance receiv.
ed much help. Those taking part
on the program were Prin. Lille
S. Cooper, of the Springfield city
schools, who gave an excellent and
very helpful paper on Ethics.
Miss Nest Pattee, of the Scotland
citp schools, gave a paper on
BUSY Work in the lower grades"
which was full of splendid sugges
tions. Dr.. III. j. G. Koobs, Su
perintendent of the County Board
Of Health, gave an excellent talk
on Sanitation. This is a matter
greatly overlooked in many Of our
rural schools, and since it is one
of such vital Importance, every
teacher should understand The re
quirements laid down by the State
