Will Make It Lively.

State Chairman J. M. Green called
the republican executive committee to
meet at Chamberlain last Friday to
arrange the state campaign, which
is to open the second week in Septem-
ber. Those who responded to the
call were Hon. J. H. Baldwi of Hand
county, Hon. E. A. Mckinney OF
Sioux Falls. Mr.. Whiting OF Deuel.
county, Judge Woodruff OF Jerauld
county, j. w. Bradbury OF Day coun-
ty and c. E. Deland OF Hughes county.
In conversation with these gentlemen
the reporter learned that they each
regarded the outlook for republican
success in their respective counties as
very bright. Many OF those who left
the party two years since to join
"Gideon's band" are to-day satisfied
the were mistaken in following the
lead of the self constituted modern
"Knights of the Golden Circle"
Chairman Green says the campaign
will move with vigor from the start.
He expects to secure several promi-
nent men from other states tor one or
two speeches each. Among them are
Governor Mckinley and Tom Reed.
His arrangements are such that an
educational campaign in earnest will
be persued, and at least IA. 900 re.
publican speeches will be made in
South Dakota.

Against Third Party Prohibition.

MITCHELL, Aug. 29.-Special: Rev.
VIM. Fielder, president Of the State
Enforcement league. spoke in
this town last night on "The Bright
Side OF prohibition" to a large au.
dience, which included several OF the
men who were recently enjoined for
violating the prohibition law. Mr..
Fielder's remarks were non.political
and in conversation with your cor
respondent to-day said he had been
wrongfully accused by certain papers
in the state with favoring third
party prohibition movement. He
said that all the connection he has
had with such a movement was to
discourage it in every possible way,
as he did not consider it expedient.
He believes that it will weaken the
cause of prohibition, and he Is devot'
ing his efforts toward securing a leg
islature which shall defeat resubmis-
sion.

Home Merchants the Safest.

Brookings merchants always have
and always will furnish honest goods
at honest prices. The REGISTER has
often times warned people against
making purchases from "fakirs" but
it seems as though some people like
to be humbugged. We do not believe
that there is merchant in the city
who is even making a reasonable in.
tersst on his investment. When you
want to buy q bill OF goods come to
Brookings and submit the same to
our merchants, see the goods and say
you have the cash to pay for them
and you will find that you will get the
very best grade ofgoods for less money
than you would have to pay for snide
goods sold by parties who only ex-
pect TO get one 'swipe" at you and
then pull out for new and "greener"
fields.

Is Not q State Issue.

Brother Hopkins, of the Henry In-
dependent and who is well known as
one OF the stalwart prohibition edi-
tors of the state, gives his friends the
following good advise: "1'he so-called
prohibitionists have called q state
mass convention, to meet at Aberdeen
September 14th, for the purpose OF
placing in nomination O. tull state
ticket. The scheme does not come
from the great body OF stalwart pro.
hibitionists who shouldered the bur-
den of battle, and gave to this proud
young state it's present law, but from
few self constituted leaders and
three or four professional agitators
who are out of a job. A scheme OF this
character will not be in the remotest
sense representative Of the great mass
of prohibitionists in the state. Pro.
hibition is in no sense a state issue
because 1T is state law. The election
OF state officers cannot affect the law.
The only power on earth which can
disturb the law as it now stands is
the legislature. Here is where the
fight must and will come. that is, in
the legislative districts, but the idea
OF running q state ticket is sheer non
sense. II our ultra one.idea friends
have any surplus energy or means to
work of, let them be expended IN the
legislative districts. where the real
fight must be waged. The real pro-
hibitionists of the state should call
off this farce and sit on it,"

Democratic County Convention.

DemOcratlc county CONVENTION.
The Democratic county convention
held at the court house in this city
last Saturday was not just such a
harmonious affair as one might ex-
pect. 1t reminded this reporter of
the once famous foreign cat fight. The
convention started out all right and
elected delegates to the state conven-
tion as follows: Chas. Keith, Thos.
Smith, j. V. Walker. N. j. Shouweiler,
Jas. Farrell, A. Colleton.
Then followed the report OF the
committee on platform and resolu.
tions." The report was very brief
and yet the secretary had to swallow
with struggle three or four times
when reading the same. Here is the
platform and resolutions.
We denounce the Mckinley tariff
bill as the most Outrageous measure of
taxation ever proposed in American
congress. 1t will increase the taxes
upon the necessaries OF life and reduce
the taxes upon the luxuries. It will
make life harder for every farmer and
wage Garner in order that the profit
OF the monopolist and trusts may be
swelled. We the Democrats of Brook
ings county in convention assemble
to hereby denounce taxation of the
masses for all special classes.
After the adopting the report Chair
man Alexander of Elkton, who is
holding the Office OF county Judge
through the wisdom (?) Of the inde-
pendent party, and who was in an
alcoholic preserved condition, braced
up and asked the "further ay.ay
pleasure Of the 'vention."
A motion was supported to place
in nomination complete county
ticket and here came the fun. 1t was
plain to TN observer that this rank
and file of the democratic party pres
ent wished to place q ticket in the
field but two members who are hold
ing Office under the independent ad.
ministration had the scheme we'll
worked and argued against the
measure. Chairman Alexander called
Thos. Smith of Volga to the chair and
stepped into the arena He said: Mr..
Chairman ay.ay-a.y.ay want to say
ay-ay that ay.ay-ay have worked ay-
ay with the democratic party for
years ay-ay; have always been ay-
ay- democrat ay-ay- always will ay-
ay-ay be, but don't think ay.ay- it
best to make any ay-ay nominations
at this time." He aged SO long that
he really freely would be a better word)
didn't know where he commenced or
what he was on the floor for. A
motion was made to adjourn the
convention to Sept. 25, 1.-THE same
day the independents will hold their
convention). The true blue demo-
Gratis accused the demoindependents
of trying to shove the party into the
independent fold and wanted them to
understand they could not do SO.
Finally motion was made to ad-
journ and that motion carried. So
that, while the demoindependents
STAYED off the nomination of q county
ticket, they did not win their case.
The county central committee will no
doubt call another convention and
O. county ticket.

verslJy. In furtherance Of its aim it
has the advantages that proceed from
years, history and alumni These can
not be bought for cash; and in the case
Of the Columbian they are of such
a sort, as of themselves create an
enviable endowment. The roots of
the Columbian lay hold upon nc
vered strata of the rational history.
In common with Yale, Harvard and
Princeton. the college owes its origin
90 the zeal Of a denomination FOR an

suggestion of Rev. Luther Rice a re-
turned missionary from India. to pro
vide a college in the city of Washington

laying special emphasis on its national
position and relations.
At the first commencement exercises
of the college, held on December Is, 1924,
the president of the United States, the
secretaries of state, of war and of the
navy, leading members of both houses
of congress, and Gen. Lafayette were

law school was organized and Hon.
William Crouch, LII. D., chief justice of
the circuit court of the United States,
was appointed one of the professors.
Trouble. however, soon arose resulting
from differences of opinion among the
trustees as to the relative Importance of
the theological and classical depart
ments. Then came financial difficult
ties, resulting from the heavy cost of
construction and equipment of build
ings and the insufficiency of tuition
fees to meet the regular expenses.
Forty years of arduous effort under
honored presidents failed to bring
the success so confidently antici-
pated in the outset. Yet, in spite
of disadvantages and discouragements,
the institution maintained its place and
grew in popular esteem. In 1871 James
c. yelling, LID, was chosen to the
presidency. That he had the fortitude
and ability necessary to the task he I'M
dertook is shown in the advance made
by the institution under his administrar
ton. In 1878 the college received from
congress a formal university charter,
under which it now has its college, med
ical school, school of dentistry, school
of law and school of science-compris-
ing, collectively, larger number of
students than any other institution in
Washington. In 1879 all the depart
ments were removed to the present
building, in the very heart of Washing
ton, and in immediate contiguity to the
bureaus of the government. This build
ing was erected at a moderate cost.

But it is well adapted to its uses, and its

and scientific deposits of the nation

the department of law. In the
neighborhood of six hundred stu
dents are enrolled this year in
this department alone. They come
from all parts of the United States, at

ty. Among the eminent jurists that
compose it are: James c. yelling,

ton will make it appear that this is no
idle vaticination. Washington is des-
tined, beyond peradventure. to remain
the capital of the nation. Her location
is central to Europe and the Pacific,
median of Maine and Florida She,
alone, enjoys the autonomy indispensa-
BILE to a seat of federal legislation. She
is the herald of the country's traditions,
the custodian of its archives, the source
of its jurisprudence, the mistress of its
social world. Hers is the homage that
{ is given to fame and the security that
ksprings from prestige. When Prof. John
p.Eyndan delivered his lectures at Wash
ington few years ago he remarked to
DIR. yelling that he knew of no city in
Europe which could gather congrega-
ton of scientific workers and original
investigators so large as that which
he then met in THE Philosoph-
zeal society" But this society, the
Oldest of its kind in Washington, is but
one of the scientific bodies that surround
it. There we have the Anthropological
society, the Biological society, the
Chemical society, the Botanical society,
the mathematical section of the Phil
osophical society, the National Geo
graphical society, and others, compris-
ing body of 600 learned men, mainly
connected with the various departments
of scientific work under the patronage
of the national government. The pa
ternity of university work would seem
to have been assumed by the govern
ment itself in grouping together these
savants, the foremost in the country,
if not in the world, in their specialties,
and by employing them in such insti-
buttons as the Smithsonian, the Ma
tional museum, the geographical sur
vey, the bureau of ethnology, the pat
ent Office, the Army Medical museum,
geological survey, the Naval museum of
hygiene, the weather bureau. the coast
survey, the bureau of photography, the
national observatory, the agricultural
department, the botanical garden, the
department of education. etc. Wash
ington, moreover, contains an educa-
tional plant that for extent and variety
would be difficult to duplicate, even in
the old world. There every branch of
human knowledge has literary or OBJ
jectlve deposit. In addition to the con-
gressional library, each department
and bureau of the government has it's
ample and appropriate collection. The
Smithsonian institute contributes more
than 250, 600 titles to the alcoves of the
library of congress. In law the same
library embraces $4,000 volumes, cover
ing the Jurisprudence of the civilized
world. In all more than a million vol
umes selected by experts in the various
departments of knowledge, are Washing
toms literary induceIaent to the student.
When to this is added the free instruc-
ton offered by the Corcoran gallery of
art, with its million dollars of free en-
dowment, the privileges of the national
museum, with twenty-five scientific de-
partments, and of the seven centers of
chemical instruction and investigation,

Universities as distinct from colleges,
it is needless to say, embrace not only
the higher humanities, but provide in
struction in the several departments Of
literature, law, medicine and divinity.
Until quite recently the only institu-
tions at the national capital that offered
these courses were Georgetown univer-
sity, under the control of the Jesuit
order, and the Columbian university.
Now, however, Washington is the cen
tripetal point of the energetic move
ment for higher education, and viii,
no doubt, become the great center
of university life. A moments refiec-
