The Dakota Farmer comes to US this
month greatly improved by the ad-
ditlon of a"Home Department" Pub
fishers are beginning to realize that
woman and the home must have a
placeFin their publications, in order to
meet the popular idea of what a news
paper or magazine should be.
An exchange gives some items as to
the rich women of America. Sum
ming upthe wealth of fifteen Of them
1T makes an aggregate of 1875 million
dollars. Yet, not one Of these Homen
can say how much of this property
shall be devoted to taxes or for what
purpose the taxes shall be used. The
injustice Of taxation without repre-
sentation is pslpable in their case, but
the principle is the same when woman
pays but dollar.
The National W. c. t. U. has a de-
partment of social purity cooperating
with the white cross army. Its officers

We remember reading Of certain
editor regreting that his contempo-
rery did not attend to his own bust
ness, but he consoled himself with the
thought that his contemporary had no
business of his own. The present atti-
tude of the Wconsocket News man is a
torcible reminder of this. He is poking
ais proboscis into Jerauld co unity poll
tics, and we would mildly suggest that
if hekeeps the politics straight in San
born county he will have all his mas
sive intellect can manage.
We took the liberty to state in last
weeks issue that Thin Drake had been
on the defens of 3. j.. Solomon and
now we have libel suit on our hands
of $1,000. for "malicious and false state
ments" published in the HERALD dur
ing the month of October. We made
the statement, based upon the general
opinion OF the people hereabouts, and
from statements of other attorneys in
the case, And more over the Huron,
Herald the democratic organ in Bea-
county, says that Tom Drake he's been
die in Jerauld county for three years
and has been on one or the other side of
every important case tried in Jerauld
county. Perhaps the Solomon case was
not an important one?
Election day is past and gone. Each
voter in Jerauld county has worked
and voted for the man of his choice.
Thisis every mans right, and while
perhaps harsh things have been said,
bitter accusations made, and party and
personal antagonisms allowed to go
beyond proper bounds, still the old plan
ct on which we reside continues her
daily task, and the sun smiles down on
the petty warfare Of frail humanity
The successful candidate will step into
his Office and accept its drndgery, salary
and fees with due humility and thank
fulness, and all, whether successful or
not, should be able to smile on troubles
past and thank the good fortune that
brought us to Jerauld county, Dakota.
4 few weeks ago we printed the
following item.
The HERALD will be run il the
interests OF the campaign until after
election. Ii any one wants any help let
him get to the front.
Any one with the least respect for
truth or straight forwardness could not
peryert the above into anything except
ing Just what it means. But the
Alpena Journal and True 90 Rapubll-
can true to their gossiping natures, add
to it, thus changing it's entire mean
ing. And now the Woonsocket News
lowers it's standard to float in the
same polluted atmosphere, and quo.es
