Receive Bio Ma iority


LONDON. Dec 29.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-A remarkable feature of
the election for the new parliament is
The enormous majorities received by
many of the winning candidates and
5earth of very small m" jorities.
Under the provisions of the new
franchise act every candidate who
fails to obtain one-eighth of the votes
polled in his constituency forfeits his
deposit of $50 pounds sterling. More
than 80 candidates are victims OF this
3fle.
z 1t is difficult to compare the results
of this election with that of 1910, owing
TO the numerous arrangements OF
constituencies under the last reform
act. but a comparison between the
country areas as a whole shows that
London has gone almost solid for the
coalition. Only three Independent lib
erals were returnsd and the two labor
ties returned are both coalitionists.
The returns in Yorkshire are no less
astonishing OF the Sc members from
Yorkshire. 26 are coalition unionists;
is coalition liberals: two members of
dc national democratic party, which
supports the coalition, are discharged
soldiers and sailo-s' representatives;
. eight are labor members. andsonly one
is an independent liberal.
In Lancashire. the 66 members re-
turned do not include a single indie
pendent liberal. There are 3S coalition
unionists, five Independent unionists,
eight coalition liberals. 13 laborites. one
socialist and one nationalist.
Even in Scotland the number of in
dependent liberals returned can be
numbered on the fingers of one hand.
Women and Soldiers Win
Coalition leaders claim that the two
principal factors that contributed to
their triumphs are the votes of the
women and soldiers. The former made
the majority secure and the soldiers
vote, according to one leader, came
later SIS tidal wave in favor of Lloyd
George.
The II divisions of Birmingham re-
turned coalitionists, the only woman
candidate in the city being at the bot
tom OF the poll and forfeiting her de-
posit. This forfeiture of deposit was
also the. fate of three other women
candidates. including the only woman
candidate in Scotland.
Most of the ballots cast out were
those of soldiers who wrote acros.

For the second time since the Amer

sAUER KRAUT is
"NATiVE" OF HOLLAND

Aberdeen, s. d., Junc 15.-The dish
known as 'sauerkraut, which owing to
it's supposedly German origin, has fall
Ell somewhat into disrepute since
Americas declaration Of war, is Wig
orously defended in a statement just
issued by c.. N. Herreid, food admins
traitor for South Dakota.
Mr.. Herreid's statement follows:
"On account of its supposedly Ger
man name, Sauerkraut seems to be los
ing its popularity as an American dish.
The o o administration has learned
that throughout the country men and
women in their patriotic zeal have been
spreading a strong propaganda to dis
courage the use OF a valuable food
stuff.
las a matter of fact, the dish Is said
to be Of Dutch rather than Of German
origin In any event sauerkraut is a
valuable food and adds to the variety
in which cabbage may be prepared. It's
wider use would no doubt stimulate a
greater use of cabbage and would
further the food administrators cam
paign for increased consumption of
p~erishable foodstuffs and a greater
saving Of the staple foods needed
abroad.
NO matter by what name it may be
known. sauerkraut is a valuable food
and its use should not be curtailed as a
result Of o~verzealous and i'll advised
patriotism"

PIERRE WILL SOON
HAVE LIGHT AGAIN
Electric Plant In Capital Build.
ing Capable of Supplying
Immediate Needs.

Pierre, S. D., June 1.-THE state OF
South Dakota has come to the rescue
or it's capital city. Pierre. The de-
.struction Of Pierre's water and cleo
tric light plant by fire a week ago
has been relieved through the use OF
the electric light plant Of the Capitol
building. The capitol electric plant
Is a direct current system, and the
Pierre plant has been an alternating
current, but through the use of a motor
generator, EXETER. ETC., and the work
OF installing it in the capitol light
plant, the city "a now be supplied
from the capitol plant, by thus trans
forming the current in the alternating
current. Consequently ii is expected
by Sunday the town will again have
lights and electric power. Many per-
sons We're surprised that the capitol
plant could carry the load thus re-
quired-but 1t Is Of sufficient capa-
city to run the city needs, and the
capitol building both using a moderate
amount of electricity. By winter, when
a fuller load would be required, with
the legislative session on, and more
lights needed by the city also, 1t is
expected Pierre's new plant will be in
stalled.
The water situation will be relieved
by Sunday through the restoration of
n of the city pumps, not sufficiently
injured in the fire to make 1t I'M
disable, and it is to be run by a couple
of big steam tractors which were to-
day brought in from out in the country
north of town. If this does not prove
satisfactory, or sufficient, further
power supply can be had by using the
capitol electricity, transformed now
into city current.
The town has had fire since the
calamity befell it, but it was at once
brought under control through the use
Of the Rapid City Chemical engine
which had been brought over to Pierre
the day after the plant burned here.
Lack of water has caused an enormous
inconvenience, though as yet no seri-
Gus results, because a hand pump at
the city wells enables people to haui
a supply.

LANGUAGE QUESTION
IN COURTS HANDS

Lincoln, Neb., June 15.-Attorney
General Reed has ruled that 1t Is en-
tirely within the discretion of the dis
trict court whether q priest who has
been refused permissionto preach or
teach because the court Is not con-
WINGED Of his entire loyalty to the ma
tlon may celebrate mass in church or
perform the rites Of baptism and ex-
IRENE JUNCTION.
The matter was presented to him by
Frank Dolezal, an attorney Of Fremont,
who represents the Catholic church at
Snyder. The priest there was unable
to qualify under the section of the Sc
dition law which requires all alien
preachers to convince the district judge
or their desirability. The argument
presented by Mr.. Dolezal that as the
a and the rites mentioned are all
couched In Latin which nobody in the
church understands there can be no
violation of the sedition law In using
mat language. The church ongre
cation at Snyder Is German, and few
or the members understand English.
The attorney Generals opinion Is in
terpreted to mean that if they desire
10 continue service and to have the
rites administered the proper course
Is to secure another priest who can
quarry under the sedition law.

BISHOP BURLSON TO
SOUTH DAKOTA EPiSCOPAlS

Sioux FALL S. D., June 19.-Bishop
Hugh S. Burlson, Of the Episcopal
church Of South Dakota, addressing the
annual convention of the Episcopal
churches of South Dakota at All Saints
school in this city, pleaded for greater
unity among the churches Of the ma
ton.
Bishop Burlson advocated the di-
viding Of South Dakota into Episcopal
deaneries. He favored the construc-
ton OF at least n new church his
year. at M~obridge, and warned mem
bers of the church against neglecting
the financial needs of the church in
South Dakota.
The bishop advocated a new canon,
which would divide eastern South Da-
kota into three deaneries, with head
quarters at Aberdeen, Mitchell and
Yankton, and later two deaneries west
OF the Missouri river, one in the Rose
bud country and the other in the Black
Hills.
He also announced that Rt. Rev. Will
liam p. Remington, bishop coadjutor
OF the Episcopal church of South Da-
kota, who now is on his way to France,
would on his return from service
abroad make his permanent home at
Rapid City.
