When Prohibition VIII Take Effect

A number Of our exchanges, particu.
larry on the prohibition side of the
fence, are becoming exercised, now that
the fight for the constitutional provision
is won, as to when the liquor traffic can
be finally abolished.
Unless called together in special SEES
son by the governor, the legislature Of
South Dakota will not meet before jan
uary. 1t will take at a reasonable esti-
mate a month for a law prohibiting the
sale of intoxicants TO be framed, pass
the legislature, and receive the governors
signature. Then, unless it has been
enacted by a t%wo-thirds majority, il can
not become operative before the first
of May.
The question arises, will the saloons
remain open until that ~time-seven
months from the adoption ofthe amend
ment? In our opinion they will not. The
license now granted expire on Jan. lst,
and there is legal question whether
the county officials will have the power
ever if they so desire, to enc them.
In face of the public sentiment in favor
of prohibition, and the justice of the
situation the commissioners will surely
not wish to regrant them. All dealers
therefore who sell liquor after January

all territorial laws remain in force until
they are superseded by special enact.

The Two Ways

OF the memories that are the legacy
of the summers holiday, to a very large
class of worthy workers, one there is
which holds d sting, and which has no
rood raison d'etre. 1t is the remem-
brance of the unwillingness which char
acterised the granting of the well earned
holiday. 1t Is the memory Of the grudg-
ingness which accompanied the permit
to leave the treadmill of fifty weeks for
the needed r~estfulness of fourteen days.
The trait which finds manifestation in
this sort of thing is not confined to the
counting room or the office, but pereades
the home circle, yet in the former 1t is
most frequently met with. Rare, in
deed, is the employer that, when the
day of emancipation for a faithful clerk
draws near, sends that seryitor forth
with a lighter heart because of the kindly
expressions which formed a part Of the
''good-by."
On the contrary, the average employer
regards the taking of a holiday by the
mar or oma in his service with a dis
favor that tinges his parting words and
invests his permission with a throw-a-
dog-a- bone attribute. The fact that the
toiler at the desk may be sadly in need
of q holiday; that his close attention to
his duties has impaired the excellence OF
his work. il IGNORED by the man whose
Is possible. This man bears only in his
narrow mind that he will lose, for q
fortnight, the services of a valuable as.
sistant; that the substitute is not sc
familiar with the ways of the office OF
the store, and that, thereby, he, the EN-.
cogs of his Office machinery may no,
operate 30 smoothly. So he invests his
parting words with more than q trace OF
his feeling of resentment, and the dawn
Of his clerks vacation is bereft Of sun
shine. And it would be 80 easy to add
this missing quality! To say, heartily
and sincerely, Have a good time, Mr..
Toyler; you deserve it, and | hope you'll
come back refreshed in mind and body"
At the home this narrow spirit of
grudgingness prevails to too great an
extent. The wife needs a rest from
household cares, and she gets it. But
with il she gets a reminder of her liege
lords unwillingness to make the sacri-
fees needed, from his own comforts.
She, too, misses the kindly words which
would sweeten all her holiday at the sea-
side or at the mountain resort: Ger
tainly, dear, go and have a good time.
You need it and must have it," The
milk Of human kindness is too often
absent from the parting words that put
a period to work and usher in the brief
season of rest for those that need and
merit such a rest.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

The arguments that have been put
forward against an increase Of the duty
on tin plate have largely been based
upon the fact that no tin is produced in
this country, and the assumption that
none is likely to be produced here. 1t
is therefore contended that being with
out the raw material, this country could
not proftably make the tin plate even
under any protection accorded by the
government. OF course such an argu-
ment is fallacious, since the tin plate
manufacturer of Great Britain, from
whom we now derive all our supply of
tin plates import the larger part of the
tin they require in making them. Were
we never to produce tin within our own
borders, there would be no difficulty in
our importing the tin as Great Britain
now does for manufacture Of tin plates.
But We are not at all sure that we pos.
sess no supply of good tin ore. On the
contrary, II is more thar probable that
the tin deposits already discovered
here will prove on development superior
TO those of foreign countries, even as the
larger part Of our deposits Of iron have
proven to be as rich, and more extern
sive than those of any other country.
Assays of the tin ore found in the Black
Hills of South Dakota have been shown
to be far richer in metallic tin than
that Of Cornwall, England. Two
companies are now actively prepring to
fully develop these deposits. Tin ore
has also ..been found in several
other parts of this country, The
Virginia Tin Mining and Manufacturing
company was organized several years
ago to mine and smeIt the ore found in
Rockbridge county. But with no tin
plate works in this country requiring a
supply of the metal, their was little en-
couragment for the company to proceed,
and nothing was done. Stimulated,
however, by the renewed interest now
taken in the establishment of tin plate
works in this country, and having faith
in the richness of the Virginia tin ore
lands of Rockbridge county, have erect
ed a small smelling furnace at Irish
creek, in that county, and expect to be
producing metallic tin before the close
Of this month. The furnace which
these gentlemen have built, under the
firm name of Cambell & Henley, il
thirty feet high and forty-two inches in
diameter, lined with fire brick. They
have also erected a six stamp mill, an
elevator, and an ore washer. Water
furnishes the power for running the ma.
chenery. The tin ore property belong.

acres, on which thirteen veins have
already been opened. The operations oil
