FRIVOLOUS

The Sioux Falls Press, the Mitchell Republican. the Deadwood
Telegram, and a few other daily papers have declared that the SUI
.premt court of the United States threw out the Richards appeal from
the decision of the state supreme court on the ground that 1t was
- frivolous 5" among other things This afirms the validity Of the
new primary law, they say, In substance
The Saturday News ism especially interested in the matter one
way or the other, but 1t regrets that the brethren cannot keep within
the bounds OF truth-not that it affects the public, or injuries Mr..
Richards. or boosts Geo. ". Egau. or kills Peter Norbcck, but IN
order that confidence in the press may be preserved.
The supreme court merely dismissed the case for want of jur-
isdiction' Nothing was said about the Richards law being frv-
olous or the present law ponderous. or the right of the legislature
to repeal either a frivolous or ponderous law. This IS the court
decision as handed down by Chief Justice White:

What the state of South Dakota has stood in need of. and posi-
bly, what ii needs just now, in view of the summons to convene for
the purpose OF declaring an emergency which did not, in fact, exist,
is a provision IN the state constitution whereby legislatures may be
effectively estopped from repeating initiated laws and whereby
courts may be prevented from eyading and avoiding the obvious in
tention of the constitution

zeal stages Villa was the one President Wilson appeared to rely upon.
What transpired to cause the president, after months and months
OF waiting, to turn to CarranZa as the representative OF the people
of Mexico we do not know, but the fact remains that long after Car
rama had failed to show his capacity to govern Mexico President
into the discard.
The fact that Uncle Sam turned his back upon Villa, the for
lner bandit, furnishes no excuse for the entrance of Villa and his
hand of followers into United States territory for the purpose OF phi
Laying. 1t is not established that Villa was at the head of the Mex
lean raiders, although it is so accepted by the United States. In
any event, knowing that Villa was a bandit, knowing the sort OF
life that he had led, there was no excuse for the United States cod
ding him and cuddlng up to him only to turn against hun and to
scorn him.
Highly developed. civilization does not stand for the thing that
Villa is accused of doing, bet highly developed civilized diplomacy
winks at the embarrassing of a bandit such as the noted Mexican
/, supposed to be
While The Saturday News believes it has been the part of Wis
dom for Uncle Sam to refrain from armed intervention IN Mexican
affairs, it does not regard President Wilson handling of the matter
as entitled to special commentator.
Enforced intervention now is only the outcome Of the weak and
vacllating policy which has characterized the president course,

Speaking before the Traffic Club of New York city, February
81. 1916, William Howard Taft, former president of the United States
in part:
The railroads lent themselves 10 the building up Of
industrial monopolles by the granting of rebates against the
law. They took part in politics and corrupted councils and
legislatures and they We're one of the elements IN the com
munty which threatened this cG.ntry with plutocracy.
When d mild effort was made to regulate them in the first
interstate commerce law of 1887. they laughed at the law,
houted the authority Of the commission. declined to present
their real differences in full to the commission and relied on
the delays IN the courts TO defeat the purpose of the law. 1t
took the people twenty years to secure the legislation needed
10 bring the railroads completely rnder control in the act of
1910, and when any one seeks to blame Others for the en-
actment of that legislation heis obhvous to the causes that
Q made it inevitable
And we have wondered whether the big men now in control of
many OF the industrial phases of the country are not inviting even
drastic legislation than that which resulted in the highhanded
policies of the railroads, to which Mr.. Taft refers.
Some years ago the United States supreme court compelled the
dissolution of the Standard Oil Co, but it kindly pointed out the
Safe from interference by the courts, the Standard Oil Co. has
been showing up the price of gasoline on the alleged ground that the
demand growing out OF the war his increased beyond measure in
comparison with the supply.
But the facts seem to be that there is a greater quantity Of crude
oil, out of which gasoline is made, IN storage today than ever before
known in the history Of the United States or any other country.
There are other things that are hkeWIs advancing in price but for
which the war IN no way has caused an increased demand.
The Saturday News has said, and it repeats, that the course of
men as the Rockefellers, the Morgans, the Iarrimans, the Grays
TIE Carnegles trimming back to the time when the noted philan-
thropist was in the zenith of his power, have done more to foster
the development of socialism and Its kindred .yagariesa' than all the
agitation of all the socialists who have ever lived.

HUGHES AGAIN.

Some one else has received a letter from Justice Hughes, in which
the distinguished New Yorker again says that he is not a candidate
for the republican nomination for the presidency.
Well, everybody has known that all along. No one considers
Justice Hughes a candidate. Everybody accepts Hughes statement
at Its face value.
But nowhere, directly or indirectly, by word Of mouth or by
word of pen, has it yet been shown that Justice Hughes has Said that
he would not accept the nomination il rendered him.
All the denials of his candidacy that could be stacked up be-
tween the Mississippi and the Missouri would not indicate that he
would not accept the nomination unless Justice Hughes himself says
So
That seems to be about the only thing that will settle the ques-
ton beyond controversy.
And Justice Hughes does not seem to be settling that point.

INTERVENTION IN MEXICO.

The United States has asked authority from Carranza for Unit.
ed States troops to invade Mexico for the purpose of capturing and
Furnishing Villa, the bandit.
When President Wilson came into power he found Huerta al.
ready entrenehed. He was the defasto president. He at once made
it known that he could not eontenance Huertas regime. Huerta
had to go.

ANOTHER "HARMoNYs SUGGESTION.

The Lead Call is quoted as suggesting that if there still remains
any doubt about selecting g harmony delegation to the Chicago con
ventions IN which both parties must give and take, Editor Gay of
The Argus Leader and Editor Dotson# be chosen. IF an agreement
can be reached upon these two men, the Call thinks it ought not to
be difficult to select the other eight.
This half-jesting suggestion is not bad-not at all Neither Of
these editors would disgrace either himself or his party if chosen to-
represent the republicans of the state at the Chicago convention.
Each would do exactly as he says he would do If chosen, if anybody
should happen to- ask him what he would do.

Deaths

The unexpected death of Mrs
W. w. Stephenson, which occurred
at her home near Bolar last Friday
evening was a great shock to bel
family and friends She had ar
attack of measles from which she
seemed 10 he recovering, but com
plicalions developed and she pass
ed away before all the members OF
her family could reach her bedside.
Mrs. Amelia Stephenson, who is
one of the high school faculty here
was notified of the critical change
and left Immediately for home, but
her mother died a short time before
she reached there.
The affection cones with weight
because of the recent loss OF the
father, who died during holiday
week, 1915. just about six months
ago.
Mrs. Stephenson, whose maiden
name was Somrners, was 40 years
of age. and is survived by five
daughters and one son, and for
them the most profound sympathy
is felt in their double affection.
Other immediate relatives surVlv-
ing her are her mother, an invalid,
who resides with her daughter,
Mrs. Charles McClintic at Clarks-
burg, Mrs. A. J. Revercomb, Sam
uel Sommers, a brother, living in
California, and there may be other
brothers and sisters whose names
we do not know.
Mrs. Stephenson was married in
1886 and had since resided at Stony
Ran church. She was member of
the Presbyterian church, an affec
tionate mother and kind neighbor.
A strong attestation of the esteem
in which she was held was the
large crowd in attendance at her
funeral on Sunday, one of the
largest ever seen at funeral IN
that section. The floral tribute
was also profuse and beautiful. The
service took place at Stony Run
church Sunday morning at II
o'clock, conducted by Rev. Mr..
assisted by Revs. N. A.
Parker, of Monterey Presbyterian
church and. M. L. Moffet, of Nc
Dowell.
The pall-bearers were Hubert,
Jack and Holmes Stephenson, E.
A. McNulty, Tobias McClintic and
