Editor of The Saturday News,
WATERFOWL, S. D..
Dear Sir:
tention has Just been called
to the letter of transmission accom-
panying the lists of candidates, whose
nominating petitions for the supreme
court offices to be voted upon this
fall are on file in the ONCE of the sec
retary Of state, received by the county
auditor of this county.
The said letter appears to be Ne
Intended for each Of the county aud.
itors of the state. In that letter the
secretary Of state says:
The question having arisen as to
the order in which the names of can
didates should appear upon the ballot
for judge Of the supreme court the
attorney general has rendered an
opinion holding that the name Coy
should precede the name Marquis iIn-
der the provisions Of Chapter 1856,
Laws Of. 1915. This is mentioned for
your information and guidance in
preparing this ballot
I wish to state per your paper to
the several county auditors, and all

iceived that any such question had
arisen in the Office OF the secretary OF
state or that Of the attorney general,

Rof The statutes whereby that officer is
authorized to give any direction such
as above to the several county audit
ors OF the state.
Under section 1906 OF the Political
Code, the secretary Of state certifies
the names of the seyeral nominees \
but does not direct how those names
shall be arranged upon the official
ballot. Under Section 1886 of the .Po-
asI[issical Code, il is the duty of each
county auditor to provide the ballot,
The rule for the county auditor. to
follow is specifically prescribed BY
Chapter 1S6 Of 1915 as follows:
Where there is more than one
candidate for the same Office in
either column, the names OF can
didates for that office shall be ar
ranged phabetically. Z
Nothing could be plainer or clearer
than the above direction OF the stat
ute, which must, Of course, prevail
over any ex parte ruling Of the attol
ney general.

Dakota tor an injunction to restrain
the South Dakota supreme court from

injunction should not be issued re-
straining the express companies from

Application of the SIT. Joseph and
Grand Island Railway company for an
order to restrain the state railway

commission was denied on the ground

History OF Case.
The decision of the fedarl court to-
night comedies the right of the SUI
preme court OF South Dakota, to re-
view the issues Of an express rate
case which involves the power Of
state control over Interstate transpor-
tation rates.
The South Dakota express rate
case brings squarely into conflict the.
state and federal powers in regu-
lation of interstate commerce. BY
order of a legislative resolution the
state railroad commission in 1911 or
dered the express companies operat-
ing in South Dakota to reduce rates
approximately so per cent. The ex-
press cnmapnies sought unsuccessful
" an injunction in the federal dis,
trict court, Of South Dakota, restrain
ing the state authorities from enforc-
ing the order, the court holding the
reduced rates reasonable. The sched-
ules were at once put into effect
Sioux City Complained.

the interstate commerce commission,
alleging that the low express rate
schedules in South Dakota had the ef-
feet of creating discrimination against
Sioux City shippers into South Da-
kota territory and in favor Of South;
Dakota jobbers. It was alleged by the
Sioux City interests that the South
Dakota board OF railway commission
ers had ordered intrastate rates re-
duced in order TO effect the discrimin-
alton alleged. The interstate com
mission ruled last spring that dis
crimination against interstate ship
pers was not shown to have been
the intent Of the South Dakota COM
missioners, but that nevertheless the
reduction OF intrastate express rates
I had that effect, and the express com
panies were ordered to remove the
discrimination and publish new tar

The English statesman is regarded
as one of the most forceful men OF Eu-

as the present ruling sentiment of
Great Britain.
England Didn't Begin IT,
England, he declares, did not start
the war, did not invite it, was not pre-
pared for it, but since it was forced
upon her, and since she is now fairly
well prepared, despite the tremendous
handicaps that confronted the coun-
try at the outbreak of hostilities,
Great Britain will continue until Gers
