THE PRAISE CONTINUES
Everywhere We Hear Good Reports
Of Doan's Kidney pills.

Madison is no exception. Every
section of the United States re.
sounds with praise of Doan's Kidney
Pills. Thirty thousand persons are
giving testimony in their home news
papers. The sincerity Of these wit.
nesses, the fact that they live SC
near. is the best proof of the merit
of Doan's. Here's a Madison case:

j. A. Schimerda and whole fam
grippe for four weeks.
Bert Gates got his foot pinched
under a snowplow. badly enough to
make him limp hard, yet save the
foot.
Fritz Carl, living on the Minneha-

ing both bones and injuring him Sc
verely otherwise.
John b. Douglass, of Leroy. tells
a tale of the first January storm this
year In regard to three hogs he lost
at that time. He made diligent
search for them after the storm, dig
ging into all the drifts where he
thought there was "A possibility of
finding them, but TO no avail, though
he has kept up the search occasional
ly since. The other day his labors
were rewarded by the finding of the
three missing porkers under a drift
where they were wallowing In a pool
OF mud. One was dead. but the 9TH
er two were nursed through to full
recovery. They had been without
food just forty-five days, and though
weighing about It's pounds each
when they went under the drift came
out with their sides sticking together
like clapboards.

DAKOTA Ignite
GREGORY COUNTY MAN PER
FECTS PROCESS THAT MAY
LOWER FUEL PRICES.

Pierre, Feb. 27.-Hon. Frank
Mace. of Gregory county, has placed
on display at the st. Charles hotel
here samples Of the new Ignite
b%riquettes which have been manufac-
tured out OF Dakota Ignite coal by
the new process which makes the
b%riquettes without a binder. The
problem of successful %briquetting OF
this coal has always been that of Sc
curing "A binder. and much time. eff
fort and money has been expended in
trying to find a practical binder for
the purpose Of putting this coal upon
the market. With the process which
has been perfected by the Johnson
Fuel company, of Fairfax, this ques-
ton has been eliminated. and the
coal is put into one pound %briquettes
which have stood every test OF
abrasion and those which they would
meet i'm exposure TO the elements.
and they have stood the test. Up to
the present the %briquettes which
have been tested have been made at
a plant in California. but shortly
after the middle of March the actual
work of turning out the finished
product will be commenced at the
plant at Scranton, just across the
line in North Dakota, and the unit
which has been put in will handle a
little over seventy tons of %briquettes
in a day. Mr.. Johnson. the man
ager OF the company, says he will
have ten units working before the
fuel supply of next winter is de-
manded, and that the new system
will be such that the whole of South
Dakota can be supplied with fuel at
a price which will save a large
amount of the coal bill of the state.
The federal bureau of mines esti-
mates the coal available in the two
Dakotas at $4,000, 00O 900 tons, and
a large amount of this is located in
the counties of Butte. Harding and
Perkins in this state. Most of il is
near the surface and IL can be easily
and cheaply mined The legislature
has passed the bill which provides
for "A commission to investigate and
report on the coal on state lands, and
has appropriated $500 to be ex-
pended for this purpose, and as the
people of the state adopted a consti-
t%utional amendment at the last cleo
ton authorizing the state TO engage
in the development of its own mines
there is no reason why South Dakota
cannot take up the work along this
line itself within a short time.

THE Legislature
RUSHING WORK FOR THE CLOSE
OF THE SESSION.

Pierre, Feb. 27.-Both houses are
rushing work as the end of the ses-
sion comes closer, and the indica-
lions now are that the house will get
all the house bills cleared early this
week, with a few possible exceptions
and this Will leave them the last two
or three days practically clear for ac-
ton on senate bills. The senate is
keeping clear generally on its calen-
dar, but they have several of them

The wOrkmen's compensation act
submitted by the labor committee
was passed by the house Saturday
afternoon by a vote OF 70 to 2. BY
the terms Of this act the state immi-
grafton commissioner is made the ex-
ecutive officer to carry out it's pro-
visions. An attempt to prohibit the
appointment to that office of any
member of a labor union was voted

posal being attacked vigorously by
Lyon aud others.
The special joint committee ap.
pointed to investigate the feasibility

elevators made a report and intro
duced a bill creating a department of
markets and grain inspection i'm

SO GOO and appropriating $25.00
for carrying out the purposes of the
act. They were not so positive about
the terminal elevator question and
put in a resolution submitting to a
vote a constitutional amendment
permitting the state to erect terminal
elevators. flour mills, packing plants
and warehouses and introduced a bill
authorizing the governor to appoint
a commission to further investigate
this proposition and appropriating
1880 for their expenses.
The house killed by a vote of ga TO
80 a bill appropriating SIS. 1000 for a
state printing plant after Eggen. as
introducer of the bill stated his
hopes as TO result, and Widlon. of
Turner, a printer, said 1t would take
more than $150,00O for a plant to
do all the work Eggen expected.
The house passed a bill putting
sheriffs on a salary instead of a fee
basis, with salaries from $1,000 to
$4,000 and with the total made up
from county funds If the fees did not
reach the allowed total. The salary
of deputies is to be fixed by COM

these points, and in addition, by toler-

the very moral fibre Of our citizenship.
Your responsibility for encouraging

adequate equipment with which to face
the portentous era Of world history
now opening before us.
I'VE rightly view with pity and SYM

standpoint of probable fitness for i'm
pending world rivalry, the actual
strain of this period Of horror aQd
devastation is not upon any nation Of
Europe but rather upon America.
Their cruel trial yet brings with 1t
some measure of compensation. Out

anguish will emerge a purified and pa

The High Cost of State Government

terest as the members of the Legisla-
ture. most of whom are not known
outside Of their little districts. whose
comings and goings are unobserved
by the public and whose actions are
generally matters of Indifference to
the newspapers and the citizens gen.
orally.
Obviously the idea of Transforming
an officer elected by popular vote for
a short term into a "tyrant" Is too abb
surd for second thought.
| Moreover an executive budget does
not mean a transfer of legislative
power to the Governor. 1t merely con-
| fers upon the executive branch of the
Government the power and duty to
prepare business-like plans for con-
Quoting the work under its immediate
jurisdiction-for which it is RESPONSE
BILE in popular mind, if not in law. ut
docs not give the Governor the power
| to determine anything.
! In every State in the Union, except
North Carolina, the Governor has the
power to veto appropriation bills, and
when he does veto BILL it requires
(as a rule) an extraordinary majority
in the Legislature to pass the measure
over his head. In most of the States
the Governor may strike out items in
appropriation bills. More often than
not the Governor cuts and carves APP
preparation bills after the Legislature
adjourns, when he cannot be held in
any way responsible to that body for
his action.
Far from encroaching upon the
Legislature, the executive budget
forces the Governor to do his cutting
and carving before the Legislative ses-
sion is far advanced, and then submit
his actions to the Legislature for con-
sideration.
If we throw the burden Of proof
heavily on the Legislature when it
! seeks to override a Governors veto,
why is there any danger in throwing
some burden upon it when it proposes
to override his plans for the State
plans that are made and published far
and wide-plans on which he may be
questioned in the Legislature in the
full light of public opinion?
| Under an executive budget, the Leg
/ islature preserves it's rightful powers
intact. The executive plans and pro-
poses plans-the Legislature decides
and votes money-but under a sense
of responsibility, and subject to public
scrutiny.
genuine executive budget means:
| Cd Responsibility for planning
work as a whole
| ca Public scrutiny Of the plans.
| co Publicity for legislative action
in voting money.
| ca More, instead of less democ-

In the previous numbers l have laid
down certain principles: The Gov
ernor of the State and the high officers
and heads of divisions of the Admin
istration should present their needs
fully and completely to the Legislature
early in its session. Open and frank
consideration Of the statement should
be given by the Legislature and the Of
ficers who prepare the budget should
be heard to defend and explain it.
The burden Of proof should fall upon
the Legislature that proposes to in
crease the amounts called for by the
Governor in his budget. These are the
fundamental principles Of State budget
making.
But cry is at once raised: This
is executive tyranny. This makes the
Governor a king. This places the Leg
islature under the iron heel of despot-
ism. ETC., ETC."
This cry is raised honestly by sorne
people who are afraid the Governor
will build up big political machine
| by exercising such control over expen-
ditures.
| 1t is raised dishonesty by many peo-
pie who want to get something out of
the public treasury by the back
stairs" route. The member of the
Legislature who likes to go to the
head of a State institution and say
"Nnu Pill I will
preparation out of the State treasury
| if you will give my brother-in-law a
job under you"-this member of the
Legislature wants no change.
Those who want to get something
from the State treasury for local
mprovement-roads, bridges, institu-
tions-by trading the vote of their
member for votes of other members
in the dark-also want no change.
Like mushrooms, they thrive in the
shadows.
We need not consider those who are
looking for something" But those
who honestly believe that an executive
budget is a dangerous encroachment
on legislative power" are invited to
consider a few facts:
"a The Governor is not king. but
is elected by the voters for a term of
years.
ca The Governor is responsible to
those who elected him, and If he at
tempts any "usurpation" he may be
impeached by the Legislature whose
rights he is invading

likely to be mindful of the public in
