The Duma Committee in charge
of the Bill which provides for four
meatless days in the week in Russia,
namely, Mondays, Wednesdays,
Thursdays and Fridays, and for the
prohibition of the Strengthening of
cattle on Tuesdays and Fridays, has

British Appeals Court Sustains
Speyer's Right to Sit in
Privy Council.
August 4, 1916

The British High Court of APP
peals has decided last week that
there is no question of the right of
Sir Edgar Speyer to remain on the
roll Of privy council. This ruling
upholds the decision of the lower
court in favor of Sir Edgar
Sir Edgar Speyer, partner in the
Speyer banking firm of London,
New York and Frankfort-on- Main,
is British citizen of German birth
and parentage. At the outbreak of
the war he was the subject of VIC
lent attacks in England on account
of his German origin. His enemies
openly charged him with disloyalty,
but he was warmly defended by
Premier Asquith.
In May, 1915, Sir Edgar resigned
his membership in the privy council
and asked for the revocation of his
baronetcy. The college Of arms de-
cided that there was no way in
which the banker could divest him
self of his title. The question of
his privy councilorship remained in
allegiance until November, 1915,
when the Anti-German League
brought action in the courts to force
his removal from the council The
present decision is the outcome of
that suit.

Earl Grey Extends Hope to Jews.

Sir Edward Grey, the British Min
lister for Foreign Affairs, made a
very interesting declaration in a re-
ply which he gave to a correspon-
dent this week. The correspondent
asked whether England is prepared
to give Palestine to the Jews, for
the establishment of a Jewish set
Element there, after the war is over.
Grey replied that latter the war,
Jewish interests in Palestine will
not be overlooked" This reply is
significant in view of the directness
of the question, which implies a
Jewish claim on Palestine.

BOY SCOUTS ACTING
 AS PARLOR MAIDS

London, March 17-Boy scouts have been introduced in many Eng fish homes to take the place of par Tor maids. This is one of the at tempts made here to ctrcumyent the servant problem brought about by the war. Buffers and footmen have discarded their liYeries and douned khaki, while thousands of young women wlo used to earn their living as servants have gone to serve the country (and, incl deutally, to earn better wages) as muniticn workers. In searching about for a solution of ther prob lem some ingenious housewives hit upon the idea of employing boy scouts with the result that the practice is becoming popular. The boy scout waifs at table, cleans the silver, and answers he door. He looks very smart in his uniform and his scout training makes him an eE- ficient and satisfactory substitute for the parlor maid.

LEGALITY WAS ATTACKED OF
PREVIOUS SPECIAL SESSION

Pierre, S.. D., Feb. 9.-Apropos of
the special session of the legislature, it
seems not generally known that a
special session of the territorial leg
islature was held April "a, 1871, called
by Governor Burbank for the purpose
Of authorizing the famous Yankton
county bonds in aid of the Dakota
Southern railroad. The legality Of
this special session was tested in the
case of Treadway VS.. Schnauber. In
this decision Judge Shannon held the
governor had no authority to
the session and that its acts We're null
and void. The case was appealed to
the supreme court of the United
States. but meantime an act of con
gress was secured ratifying the action
of the special session of the legisla-
ture. Other question were involved
in the appeal. The United States SUI
preme court decision reversed the
state supreme court, II held the vote
of the Yankton county people was
validated" by congress, and, there
fore. the action of the special session
vas in force. There are no journals
available of this special session, and
the court decisions in no way indicate
the procedure of the special session.

FORMER OFFICERS TO
HOLD over AT EXTRA
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Precedents Investigated in 13
States Are Against New
Organization.

Pierre, S. D, Feb. There has been
considerable discussion among legisla-
tive members as to whether the organi-
zation of officers of each body would
hold over from the regular session and
hold their position for the extra session
Some have commended that it would be
necessary to elect a new speaker of the
house, president pro empore of the
senate, and the other officials.
An Investigation of 13 different
states. and their special sessions, sho VS.
that out of that number selected AZ
random, nine held special sessions with
the same officers presiding as at the
previous regular session and that they
had no thought of doing otherwise.
Three of the states in the list passed
special resolutions authorizing the Of
ficers of the previous regular session TO
continue. Only one state, Wisconsin,
made any new elections. In this par
tcular case, a president pro tempore OF
the Senate, speaker of the House,
chief clerk and sergeant of arms for
each body were elected. All the re-
naming officers were included in one
general resolution and adopted that
way. without further detailed election.
The study of these states also shows
that, almost without exception, a gem
eral resolution was introduced provid-
ing just what help the session would
i'SSu Az ltie way VI eLSfosSlliS anu en-
rolling force, stenographers, doorkeep-
ers, etc, there being but a very limited
numbe of these provided for the spe-
clal session.
A study of constitutional law shows
that there is nc provision in any of the
state constitutions concerning the or
g~antZation of officers for special ses-
sions, the matter being conducted
through a general following of prece-
dent.

ira session will call the roll

UNITED STATES COURT
EVIDENTLY CONSIDERS
RICHARDS CASE LIGHT
Summary Docket Assign
ment Means 1t Does Not War
rant Extended Argument.

Pierre, S. d, Feb. 9.-Dispatches
have been sent out from Huron that
the supreme court of the United states
has advanced for hearing the case in
volving the repeal of the
primary law. This statement is only
partially true. What the United States
court has done is to place this case on
what is called the summary docket.
This summary docket" is provided for
by subdivision 6 of rule G of the SUI
preme court, which contains the fo!-
lowing clause:
Although the court, upon conSidera-
ton of a motion to dismiss or a mo-
ton to affirm. may refuse to grant the
motion, 1t may nevertheless, II the
conclusion is arrived at that the case
is OF such a character as not TO JUSTIFY
extended argument, or the cause trans
ferred for hearing to a
docket. The hearing of the causes on
such docket will be expedited, the court
providing from time to time for such
speedy disposition of the docket as the
regular order of business may permit,
and on the hearing of such causes one
half hour will be allowed each side Tor
oral argument"
Although no motion to dismiss or to
affirm has been made, the United
States supreme court evidently mas ar
rived at the conclusion that the case
is of such character as not to justify
extended argument, and hence instead
of granting the motion to advance the
cause and hear at an earlier date, has
placed same upon this summary docket
for speedy disposition.
The court has set April 3, as h date
for the final disposition Of the matter,
which is after the time set for the pri-
mar under the Richard law. There is
no possibility. therefore, of the Rich
ards law being available for use this
spring-even in the very improbable
contingencies of it's being restored TO
the South Dakota statutes.
