A PROPER IDEA.

Now that the election IS over and it
is we'll known who are elected as men,
bers of our state legislature, a little
thought upon their work in the session
is, in our judgement, pertinent. The
following communication is to the
point and will or should meet the APP
proval of all members elect, especially
those at this end of the state:
To the Editor of the Times:-
Members elect of the legislature from
thisportion ofthe country ought to visit
the three state institutions located IN
the Black Hills and look them over
carefully. so as to be able to act in
telligently towards them in the next
legislature. First, is thel Spearfish
Normal, located in Lawrence county.
We are all very proud of this school
and we want it to be treated justly, but
in order to do this there must be a
correct understanding of the true con-
ditions and needs of this school.
Second, the school Of mines in Pen
nington county is more often spoken
against than any other state insti-
tuition, many believing it to be un-
necessary. For this reason every mem
Der should become familiar with it's
workings aud purposes, and what is
needed if anything, to make it more
useful. This is an imperative neces.
sity. The soldiers home in Fall River
county, should be carefully studied in
its workings, etc. Here is a very
valuable property e.of the state which
needs looking after and improving.
Then. to. soldiers homes are n new
philanthropy and their management
is being developed by experience, and
changes will need to be made in the
statute to make it possible to coform to
to it. This is the only philanthropy
that the United States shares with the
state. The auditor recently published
q statement that S1S.O00 would be re-
ceived by the state during these two
years. For members of the legislature
to leave to the members of the county
in which the institution is located to
represent it is q serious mistake, be-
cause there are those who accuse the
most impartial of s%elstihness. So again
l say. let our members ofthe legislature
drop III and see for themselves all of
our Black Hills institutions,
L. E. CLouGH.
In the above communication the
ground upon these subjects is but
partially covered and commends itself
as worthy of full attention, hence if
the suggestions contained therein are
acted upon, and the sixteen members
from the Hills know from examination
and personal observation the actual
needs of such institutions, they will
be prepared to act justly to both the
institutions and the state. It would
not, in u Judgment, be a difficult
matter for members to meet in some
central place this city, if deemed the
most central and a%ccessable) to discuss
such matters as are liable to come up
during the winter session, which will
interest this part Of the state especi-
ally.-Deadwood Times.

Quite a sensation has been stirred up
in financial circles over the collapse of
the land and loan firm of Pierce, Wright
& Co., of Yankton. It seems that they
have been doing a wonderfully prolific
business in the way of selling fraudu-
lent securities to eastern and foreign
capitalists, and have floated nearly a
million dollars worth of the paper.

DEACON sHANNoN's PHILOSOPHY

An honest man may begin with Moth
ing. Do business honestly and faith
fully, but always with a little profit,
and make himself independent, to his
own glory and the good of the COM
munity. This is all right.
~
If a rich man does business without
the usual profit, he gets poor, if you
keep him at it long enough. And it
very seldom does any community good
to have its rich grow poor. Profitable
business is the best business for the
individual and for the community, no
matter who does it.
~
If a pauper begins business on moth
ing and does it without a profit, the
more business he has the more pauper
he becomes. The more it costs the
community to furnish courts to settle
his affairs, and finally to furnish him
a living. For everybody who lives has
his living, and it always costs somebody
something.-Huron Huronite.

This arises out Of the fact that the State

the Arapahoe county assessment Is almost

THE decision of Judge Caldwell
touching the rights of employees of the
Union Pacific railroad is justly regard
ed as wide-reaching in its effects, if
sustained by the higher courts. "There
would be, )" says the judge, ''no equity
in reducing the wages Of the men be-
low what is reasonable and just. The
necessity Of economy in administering
a receivership is recognized, but the
employees must be paid fair wages
though no dividends are paid on the
stock and NO interest on the bonds. y
Judge Caldwell also fully recognizes
the right Of the employees to organize
for mutual defense. On this point he
says: 'It is lawful for the stockhold- :
ers and officers of a corporation to as
sociate and confer together for the
purpose Of reducing the wages Of its
employees or tho devising of some other
means to make the investments profit
able. 1t is equally lawful for organ
ICED labor to associate, consult aud
confer with view to maintain or in
crease wages. Both act from The
prompting Of enlightened selfshness
and the action Of both is lawful when
no illegal or criminal means are used
Or threatened"
