Dakota Republican: The rece mt ruiz

revenue derived from fines should be
turned into the schrol fund is going
to cause considerable commotion in
many Of the counties of the state. 1t
has been the general practice hereto
fore to place the money received flom
fines in the general fund, and the rul-
ing Of the attorney general is going
to have the effect of stirring up those
in charge of the school fund to activ-
ity along the line of having the
amount turned over to the school
fund. In some counties action look

ed. If the result is favorable to the
change, then there is going to be a
lot of work ahead for the county Off
cials in figuring out the. amount due
the school fund. The amount may be
needed if the effort to turn the school
fund over to the building of state
owned elevators and packing houses
amounts to anything.

The New York jobber took for his

ment to a retail merchant.
This merchant did small business
and was not licensed, but even here
was another social check. For the
retail merchants of the large cities
and those of many small cities and
towns find each morning and after
noon in the daily papers a price list
for -four and other commodities which
are considered fair by the Federal
Food Adwinistrator for their State.
These prices are usually arrived at
through the machinery of the whole

That it has arrived it sounds good.
The Attaboys!
Tommy Atkins has been Tommy
Atkins for many years, and the name
has come to be inseparably connected
with the soldiers Of the British army.
Out of this war has come the general
acceptance of the word '.poilu'' as
the designation for the French SOL
diers. It is related that when the
first onleaye men of the French army
returned to Paris they were long hair
ed, and shaggy as to boards. and the
populace so greeted them. The word
"poilu" has stuck to the French sol-
der ever since and has become a title
of distinction instead of one of de-
rision. The German armies are known
as the Huns because Of their ruthless
destruction and brutality. Some Of
the kiltie regiments are known to the
enemy as the Ladies of He'll. The
troops from Australia and New Zea-
land are known as the Anzacs. the
basis of the word being the initials A
N 2, representing the countries from
which they hail.
When the American soldiers began
to make their appearance overseas all
England set its wits to work to evolve
descriptive nickname for our men.
The best it could produce was Sam
mics. That did not prove popular,
however, nor did Yanks, nor Buddies,
nor various other suggested nicknames.
But on the Fourth Of July mapy
games Of baseball were played in
England, wherever there were Amer

If the republican or democrat in
South Dakota felt himself bound by
the platforms promulgated by the
state conventions he would find himself
in somewhat of an embarrassing posi-
tion. Under our present primary sys-
TEN the platform ia of minor impor-
tance and the individuality of the can
didate is the thing of importance.
Under. the old convention system the
platform was adopted before the NOM
inations were made, and the candidate
knowing the demands of the, platform.
was under obligations to stand square,
ly upon it.. Now the candidates are
nominated first and after they have
been nominated by the voters con-
vention is held which attempts to
slide platform under them Fur
ther, the method Of electing delegates
to state convention is such as to
give it no representative standing.
The names of delegates are not print
ed upon the ballots, but the voter
may write in any names that he choos-
es and very few voters pay any atten-
tion to it. We venture that there is
not one voter in fifty in this county
who can tell who represented this
county at the last republican conven.
tion. The platform can therefore not
be considered in any sense a reflection
of public sentiment. Both the repub-
lican and democratic platforms are
rank socialistic documents, and ad-
vocate principles radically different
from anything that either party has
ever sanctioned before. They seem
to have been formulated for the pur-
pose of taking the wind out Of the
sails Of the non-partisan league, and
while they have succeeded in this,
they also knock the wind out of the
voters. These platforms, together
with the constitutional amendments
submitted, would open the way to
turn every industry of the state over
tostate ownership. They would kill
the individuality of the citizen, the
very thing that has made America
great, and would make the citizen a
mere ward of the government while
our industries would be manipulated
by political shysters and become in
struments of political corruption.
The constitutional amendments are to
be voted upon at the next election,
and while some Of them have merit,
some are so broad that they would re.
move all constitutional restrictions
J and permit the widest adventures al
the expense Of the state. These
should be showed under SO deep that
the; ,sillEneyer rise again.
