TWO HIGHWAY LAWS
ARE IN CONFLICT

Pierre, S. D. May 20.-There are two
conflicting statutes in South Dakota
in relation to county highway work,
consequently the attorney general a
made a ruling as to which one shall
be law. Two bills were passed by the
recent Legislature, one the new high
way commission act, and the other
amendments to older acts. The new
acts provide hat there shall be
county supervisors of highways, such
supervisors to be appointed by the
county commissioners, and the ap-
pointment to be approved by the high
way commission. This act was signed
later h the other. The other act is
an amendment to ar old law and pro
vides that the county commissioners
shall select one of their own number
to supervise the highway work IN the
county. AS this act was signed first,
and the other was signed later, and
they conflict plainly, the one signed.
later is upheld, and for the additional
reason that it IS part of a complete
highway act, in which the highway
commission is created and its duties
prescribed, and the whole system of
highway work is based Upon 1t, so
that consequently Its provisions are In
harmony, and other conflicting acts
would only upset the general working
Of the law.

Now the League Only.
From the New York World.

@## From@t the New York WorId.@ I - :.
The covenant Of the League of Nations is now a definite fact, to
be accepted or rejected as such, together with the. entire treaty of
peace.
The action of the conference leaves no room for further speeula-
ton and conjecture. American critics, especially those who are
members of the United States Senate can no longer pretend that they
favor a league OF nations but are opposed to this particular League Of
Nations. Either they are in favor Of this league or they are not in
any league.
Although some OF the changes made in the text Of the original
covenant make for clarity Of expression and more precise limitations
OF responsibility, the most important amendments were drawn to meet
American objections. The purpose " as not to make the covenant a
more workable instrument Of international law and general peace. but
to dispose OF the senatorial complaints that the United States, which
has suffered least OF all the active beligerents, was surrendering too
much into the hands of its associates in the league.
a#& So FAR as American opposition was coherent or honest. it has m.
questlon.by been met in the amendments suggested by Mr.. Taft
and adopted through the influence of President Wilson. The conference
has given Extraordinary proof of It's belief that no league of nations is
possible without the United States, and that every legitimate criticism
that might ipmpsri the acceptance Of theSlsagues by the American
people mnst be met.
10 have gone further would have been to put in jeopardy the
whole structure. The president has adequately met his responsibilities
in Paris and the American people must now meet theirs Mt home
