EDUCATE PUBLIC sENTIME

"s#MEEE guYgM
There is much OF truth in the following
from the Sioux City Times that the ed
itor OF this column reproducesit. While
we find right here in Rapid City that the
prohibition law is not enforced, the
reason need not to be looked for long to
be found. Public sentiment Is not with
the prohibition law, but instead of Civ
ing up the law, let public sentiment be
educated to a higher standard OF moral
regard for humanity:
Gone Of the visitors to last years
Corn Palace was a bright and capable,
although not widely known, southern
journalist. He kept his eyes and ears
open, noting everything OF interest, and
making nat1ral comparisons between
Sioux City and that city where he lived.
Noting that a great many saloons
were running in Sioux City, he said: L
thought this was a prohibition state.'
We'll, SO 1t isl was the reply, but it is
not enforced in Sioux City. Public sen
timent does not run that way. They
can't stop it,
Can't stop it! Of course they can stop
it. The officers OF the law can stop it if
they want to. IT. were elected mayor
OF Sioux City l would stop the running
saloons in Sioux City within a week.
And ! would not only close them up,
but keep them closed. How? Easily
enough. On the day 1 assumed the
duties OF the office / would call my chef
OF police and all his men before me and
would say to them: Liquor selling
must be stopped in Sioux City. Arrest
every man on each and every one Of
your beats who is engaged in the illegal
traffic. Close his place, and keep it
closed. This IS my first and final warn.
ing. After three days if I learn ofliquo1
selling on the beat OF any officer, that
officer will be looking for a job That
would settle it. No matter what a
policeman's personal wishes may be, he
would do anything to keep his job.
am not a prohibitionist and cannot be,
but ! want to see all laws enforced
That IS the only proper and safe way
In his terse and characteristic way
this southern newspaper man stated
whole volumes OF truth. The way TIC
resume is to resume. The way to en-.
force Prohibition is to enforce it. Nc
intelligent person who knows anything
about governmental processes, vii!
doubt that the southern man was right
when he said that every saloon in Sioux
City might be closed and kept closed, i
the mayor only desired to do SO.
II the process is so easy, her why is il
not enforced?
Why does not Mayor Palmer enforce
the law?
Because the people do not want hin
to enforce it. He WAS not elected fol
that purpose. The people of Sioux City
OF any other city,in these parts will no
elect a mayor whom they know will en-
force prohibition.
This explains the whole matter. TIL
sentiment OF the people OF Iowa, in cite
at least, is not for prohibition. 1t i

TOBACCO DOES INJrRE THEM.

AS the work broadens and influences
which have been threwn out from
time to time by the temperance forces
and those who have the highest good
OF the community at heart, the secular
press is h;eirg made to see the trend
OF the times as will be seen by the
following editorial from the Sioux
City Times: cat last we have it by
apparent scientific demonstration that
students who do not use tobacco are
superior to those that do. DR.. Seaver
is the professor OF athletics at Yale
and also the college physician. For
eight years he has kept record OF the
smokers and non-smokers among the
students. The result is rather surpris-
Ing.
AS teacher Of athletics DR.. Seaver
finds from his statistics that the tobac-
co using students are inferior in physical
vigor to the non-smokers. They have
less chest and lung power, less bodily
weight and less muscular and nervous
force. The non-smokers are on the
average taller than the smokers. DR..
| Seaver is so certain OF the evil effects Of
the tobacco habit on students physical
ly that he has useG all his force to break
it. AS a result seventy per cent, OF the
senior class are non-smokers, not a man
who is trying for the rowing crew and
none OF the leading athletes OF the uni
versity smoke.
So much for the physical effects of
smoking. In the intellectual field the
professor finds that only five percent, OF
the students that have received the
higher junior appointments have been
smokers, and OF those receiving honors
OF any kind very few have been smok'
ers. In connection with these facts it
is worth while to remember that Shake
speare and Bacon wrote before smok.

But you live, you live, and for one last time

Mine again. for a moment, no MORE,
For swiftly my life is flying;
All your |. We cannot hold me here,

If we together were going,

Can bliss be mine, if you are not there
Mid that throng of thin, cold shadowa,

IT'S SO easy iife's knot to sever;
One pang. and it is over. Come,
Let us fling OFF the whole world foreverl

And our life, and our love. and our death
Shall be long remembered in story.

And the world will be our mourner.
There is nothing in life to regret,
We have plucked all its myrtles and roses,
We have seen, we have done, what no others

Let 1t come! Bt us welcome its coming,
Since it loses life's tedious tether.
Fate frowns on us both; let us go, dear love,
Let us die as we lived, together.

COMPARATIVELY LITTLE LEFT,
Sad straits ca which ''OId Hutch" Has
Been Brought.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The fact that Il.
T. Hutchinson, tho veteran board Of
trade man, familiarly known as "Old
Hutch" had suddenly Withdrawn from
speculation has been a matter of com
ment among brokers for weeks, but
IL was not until to-day that the cause
of his retirement became known. Mr..
Hutchlnson's family Is dissatisfied with
his peculiar trades, and his son, Charles
l.. Hutchinson, after consultation with
his attorney and close personal friends,
had talk with his father and
told him that, unless he closed up his
deals quietly and gave up all speculative
business, the matter would be taken into
the courts and u conseryatOr applied for
Hutchinson, sr., was very angry for q
time, but tiuHffy consented TO thu terms
and at once eyened up his trades and
closed the books. IL Is rumOred that
Hutchinson has lost about $4,000, 900
within twenty years. In 1870 he was
reported TO have fortune Of SEQ, 900, 600.
Ten years ago, his son says, this had
dwindled 10 $40, 0OO, 900, and now there Is
but 81, 900, 900 left II was TO save this
from following the rest of his money
that the family insisted upon his retire
ment
II Is said that Mr.. HutchinsOn's treat
ment OF his wife In money matters also
had something to do with the threat OF
putting q conseryat0r In charge OF the
property. AS the story goes Mrs.
Hutchinson, when abroad about year
ago needed some funds and made a draft
| on her husband for 81, 900. Mr.. Hutch
inson, however, refused to hohor the
draft and declined to make an eX,
planation. The matter was overlooked
and Mrs. Hutchinson, when on visit IN
/ the east for few weeks, again
drew on him for money. This draft ht
also refused, so IL h said, and 1t was paid
by his son. When Mrs. Hutchinson re-
turned home she notified her husband
that she did not propose to stand tina
kind OF treatment, and that II he did no
honor her calls for money she wOulS
take the matter into the courts.
| Hutchinson has been the biggest anC
boldest speculator on the board OF tradt
ever known until within the last three
months, when he was displaced by Mr.
Partridge, who now enjoys the reputa
ton of being the boss high roller.
