BOYS AND 60NS Combination Which Many Lives Every Year Costs Sioux Faffs Press: It is worthy of note and reflection that the two bays who lost their lives so tragically in the explosion of powder and dynamite houses near Sioux Falls last week, car ried a guu. It is true that it will never 1» known what caused the explosion. Some think the boys had crawled under one of the houses and struck a match that ignited powder that had sifted through the floor. The most commonly held explanation, however, is that tbe gun was discharged in some such way as to reach the explosives. It is fair lv supposable that if the boys had not carried a title, they would oe alive to day. So nth Dakota has no law against the sale of fire arms to boys. Other states have. But in South Dakota any hard ware merchant may hand a revolver or a shot-gun over the counter to a boy of twelve. Of course tbe value of a law agaisnt this practice is problematical. It is not strictly enforced in any state. At oest it does no more than to put tbe responsibility on the parents. For if a father or mother wishes to bny a gun and present it to a boy, there is'no law to prevent the piactice. Bat it would be well to have a law against selling to the children. It is worth while taking precautions even to save an occasional life. he boy who meets death fiom a fire arm is the victim of his immaturity. Older persons are shot as a result of carelessness, it is true. But it also is a fact that caution grows with the passing years. Any man experienced in the bandilug of guns knows more of the possibilities of injury from theiu than a child to whom the weapon is a toy. His curiosity itself is fraught with danger. Guns are not made to play with. They should be taken ser iously, even if they are carried for no more necessary purpose than the shoot ing Of rabbits or ducks. BIG BUTTE Cupid Discouraged County Large for Transaction of Business too Pierre, Oct. 9.—The advocates of division of Butte county are setting forth their particular leasons why the •:ounty shouli be divided, and among tnem is one that tne 8ize of the county discourages matrimony. That when a marriage license is required by any of the residents of tbe northern part of the county they are compelled to co to Belle Fouiche, over 100 miles away, at an expense of time and money which would equal flOO. and very few go. Another of their strong arguments is the heavy expense of court officials and witnesses in the way of mileage, when some of them must travel fully 150 miles to reach the county seat. That this additional expense would alone pay the running expenses of a new and smaller county. Yet another proposi tion is that the school conditions are such that even if a county superinten dent caret! to look after local school matters it would Lie impossible to get over the ground within the time which the weather and length of the school year would permit. That while there has been a heavy settlement in t.h« northern part of the county the past year, some of the scoool districts are yet larger than eastern counties. Cave Hill district, coveiing 972 square miles, and Seirn district, 792 square miles. That with such conditions it is impos sible to ariange for the education of the children of the settler.
