In the Snotlight.

South Dakota looms large in ma
tional politics OF the hour. She was
the first state TO call for crystalliza-
ton of public sentiment on presiden-
tial candidates, and the aftermath is
attracting the attention Of the coun-
try. The action Of the state supreme
court yesterday, holding that Senator
Hiram w. johnson cannot file in the
republican minority column. the ma
jority' column being occupied by
President Coolidge's name, rel~ gated
the senator to the republican inde-
pendent column Senator Johnson ac-
cepted the decision, and his friends
that it will not initiate against his
chances in the primaries.
Another development yesterday was
the formal announcement by William
G. McAdoo of his presidential candi-
dacy This was done through his ac-
ceptance Of the platform recently
adopted by the democrats In their
state-proposal convention. Mr.. Nc
Adoo's friends said this was what he
was waiting for before formally an
nouncing his candidacy-an invitation
to run.
Then President Coolidge's friends
filed his assurance that he would
qualify If nominated in the primaries
and II elected. Still another incident
of the day was the acceptance by
James w. Gerard Of New York of his
nomination by the democratic state
proposal convention for the vice presi-
dency on the democratic ticket.
So. all in all, 1t was a busy day in
republican and democratic politics in
South Dakota.

SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL

1t seems to be a practice amons
some auto drivers when they reach
the top of Kennebec hill, just as they
get outside the corporation, to for
get that there is still a speed limit
and rush out the ricge past the san
atorium and back again seemingly
Just as fast as the machine will trav-
ell. They are openly violating the
law, but that is not ali. The driver
and occupants of the auto are taking
their lives into their own hands; but
still much worse there are small
children living along this ridge who
play in the road, or are using it.
Their lives are in ,ne most danger.
Not only when they are in the road,
but even when on their own premis-
es are they likely to be made victims
since a very minor car accident, at
the speed many machines have been
known TO travel, would throw an au-
to off the road and perhaps into a
yard or along the roau sue WHERE
children are playing. Then again
another reason for careful, quiet
driving, is that the sanatorium is
filled with sick people, and the noise
these machines make-perhaps with
the cut-out open, is mighty hard or
them, and causes them needless suf
fering.
1t is very fortunate indeed that ne
accidents have yet occurred on this
stretch of road, and let us hope that
some action will be taken at once tC
stop such reckless driving, before
perhaps some innocent child or Other
person is killed or manned for life.

One day we went over to the of
flee OF Thomas Cook & Son, who are
perhaps the worlds leading tourist
agents supplying tickets on practic-

Their commodious building the main
office here, is at No. 2, Place de la

Madelaine (Magdalene) is just oppo-
site. 1t is a large structure. plain
