MOVE MAIL BOXES

Maintenance crews and local pa
trolmen engaged in snow removal
on trunk highways. have instruc-
lions to use reasonable precautlon
to avoid striking mail boxes, &C
cording to a statement from the
State Highway department. When
boxes are in such a position that
they are likely to be struck by
snow plows, owners are advised to
move them, and if it happens that
a box is struck, the owner is adj
vised where to place it SO that it
will not happen again. The main
tenance men, who are often rush
ed by snow blowing operations, are
not expected to replace broken
posts.
In many cases box on a swing
ing arm will overcome the Difficult
ty. Placing the post back from the
road may cause some inconven-
fence but this will be slight COM
pared ito having snow bound

South Dakota Governor
Vetoes Death Penalty Bill
Violates Tenets of the Ten Com
mandments, the States Chief
Executive Declares

Pierre, S. D., 14-Governor
Bulow has vetoed the capital
punishment bill and returned it to
Speaker Ray Williamson of the
house with the objection that it
violates one of the great COM
mandments.
The governors message to the
house was:
81 return herewith house bill
16, unapproved by me for the rea-
son that it violates the tenets of
one of the great commandments
upon which our civilization is
founded. "Thou Shalt Not Kill, "
should govern the authority of
organized society as well as the
individuals of society.
"Six thousand years of civili-
cation has reached a higher plane
than the approval of legalized muir
der. We ought not to make it law
full for the state to commit an act
which everyone recognizes as un-
lawful for the individuals Ito COM
nit. We must not permit the
state to deliberately terminate a
human life which it can by no
possibility restore. Guided by that
conscience with which my Creator
has endowed me, in giving me that
life which I possess, / am abso-
lutely certain that my duty is in
vetoing this measure"
The legislature of 1916 repealed
the death penalty laws of South
Dakota after they had been in
force for so years. Legislatures
since then have repeatedly at
tempted to restore the law to the
statute books and this session has
been the first in which the bill
has passed both houses. TIL

speeded up to pass them. One Of
the men disappeared, but to his
amazement the other did not move.
His car was in rut and his fend-
er struck the man. That is all
he knew about the affair until he
heard that the body Of Jacob Coop
err, a farmer, had been found on the
street of Gainesville. Mr.. Lee
went back to Charlesville Sunday
and attended the inquest. The ev-
idence showed that Cooper had
been in Herman county on a
drinking party and had gone to
Gainesville instead of home and
had had trouble with his car. Some
one tried to take him home as he
was too much under the influence
of liquor to drive. Mr. !.
Lee was exonerated from all blame
in the matter by the Traverse coun-
ey officials and the coroner's jury
inpanelled at the inquest.

Last week the writer read in one
of the exchanges coming to The
Herald that Roy Kidwell, paper
salesman, who very nearly sue
cumbed to freezing recently, found
it necessary to amputate two fin
gers from his right hand. Imagine

called at the office with all of his
fingers in tact and in good con-
dition. We were pleased to hear
that the report was an error.
The Chatfeld Democrat tells of
a hen that "clucked its last cluck, !"

For the first eight years of life this
faithful hen was strong in egg
production, doing her share toward

The County Board of Renville
county has had writ of manda-

jury service. The board adopted
a resolution at it's January meet
ing excluding women from jury
service. The average man never
wants to serve on jury so why
raise such fuss. Let the ladies do
it, they are as capable as men.
Over in Little Falls three me-

past year two have been killed in
Grant county and three in Otter
tail county. The animal was
killed by Kraus Bros, after chase
that started at nine o'clock in the
morning and continued until $50
in the afternoon. The lynx was dis
covered in swamp, and the chase
was taken up with grey hounds.
Apparently the animal was corner
ed several times, but each time
made its escape. The lynx turned
upon the dogs in fight but the dogs
refused to tackle him. Finally a
high powered rifle did the work.
"A white Holland Turkey Tom
was sold at the Grand Forks Tur-
key Show for $1,000 recently, af-
tering being declared the grand
champion of the show. The bird
was raised by F. G. Dolls & Son,
of Rosewood, in Pennington Coun-
ty, and won third prize at the
same show in the young tom class
in 1925. 1t was again exhibited
last year in THE yearling class and
won second place. 1t was then sold
to Blair Chapman of Brinsmade,
N. D., who this year sold the bird
to Mrs. C.. H. Folz of Drayton,
N. D., for $1,000. At that price
this famous variety of birds
would lose it's popularity around
Thanksgiving Day.
The editor of the Rush City Post
has been criticized by a subscrib-
er in an unsigned letter for not
publishing all the news. In an
swering the editor says that she is
not 100 per cent perfect in that
respect, but that she endeavors to
do the best at all times, and treat
everyone fairly; that she reserves
the right to judge for herself the
value of all news printed in that
paper. Furthermore she states that
many people are too reserved
about giving the news to the pa
per. Newspaper people are not
mind readers, and do not publish
idle gossip or rumors, and items
sent in should be signed to show
authenticity. A newspaper can be
sued for libel and must govern
it's printed statements according
ly. Needless trouble is one thing
newspaper man tries to avoid.
The little town of Bertha will be
on the baseball map this year with

said that they have hired Milton
Foreman, catcher of the Kansas

hitter and is of the big league
type. With this man on the re-
ceiving end Bertha will have col
ored battery and one of the
strongest in the state. To aid
Donaldson on THE pitching staff,
they have signed a pitcher from
Belle PLANE, who won eleven
games last year in fast company.
"Petey" Briere, Earl Plummer and
other semi-professionals, will make

professor Of religious education OF

pressed his views on the problem of
morality and the younger generation
in the annual baccalealreate adj
dress before the senior class of the
University of Illinois this afternoon.
1T would be poor Interpretation
of life to use the theory of moral
progress as an excuse for moral
carelessness," he said.
Morality is not following rules,
but approaching social relationships.
Many people think that if we could
teach the Ten commandments to
our children we should solve our
moral problems. But they might
not be any better for being able to
recite the decalog.
1.-THE first question would ask
about one of the commandments is:
What does it mean?' Thou Shalt
Not Steal seems clear enough, but
what is stealing? Is 1t stealing if
you do less than a days work for a
days pay? Is it stealing if you
form trust and force up prices?
Is it stealing If Mexico tries to get
back the land that her politicians
gave away for nothing?
Perhaps We need some new def
nitions Of honesty. Legal precedent
may not settle real moralities."
