WANT A NEW GALLERY.
The Old Place on Pine Street Better for
Exhibition Purposes

There is going to be poor exhibition
this year at the Hopkins Academy of Art,
for the reason that artists will either re-
fuse to contribute pictures or send in a
flyer" to keep their name up.
Many of the artists said yesterday they
will take no interest in the spring exhibit
ton, because it Injuries their regulations.
Without exception they were delighted to
read in THE CALL that the truth was pub
icly told about the grand hall of Hopkins
mansion and that San Francisco artists
had risen as unit to protest against 1t as
a gallery for exhibition of their paintings.
For the sake. of art, they say, much more
should be done by the Art Association.

CROWDING OUT CITY AGENTS
The Compact of Insurance Companies

An. American Manager Says 1t Is a
Scheme of British Companies to

The insurance company managers have
sedulously guarded every secret of their

Benefit.

and secure for themselves all the local

who represents different companies. ''But
agents find consolation in believing that
the Board of Underwriters cannot hold
together very long. In the meantime /
suppose we must get along as best we can. -
Altogether fifteen agencies are affected by
a rule adopted at the Monterey meeting,

are George II. Foster, Louis Hagan e. Co.,

for paying expenses, rent, ETC., though it is
not half enough to pay salaries of clerks
Ii the compact insists on maintaining this
rule no alternative is left for agents but to
retire.
The main opposition of non-union COM

which says:

LOUIS BoNAPARTE's BROTHER

Morny was the son of Hortense, Queen

Ambassador of France in London; man

edifice should last.
To this man De Morny owed that stateli-
ness of manner of the grand old seigneur
stamp while from his mother he doubtless
inherited that Southern charm, that indie
scribable softness of enchantment which is
peculiarly the possession of the races of the
South. De Morny's position had been per
fectly regularized through his legal adon-
ton by an old nobleman of that name and
his mother had left him fortune of some
f15OO year, while he was adopted by his
grandmother, Nine. Flahaut de Souza q

his connection with the Jewish Progress, the
editorial chair OF which he has occupied for
eighteen months The reason assigned for his

There is not single argument why
Colonel Shafter should not be selected: AS
ranking colonel in the whole army, with a
record second to none of the regimestal
officers now in service, he deserves it, and
with the undisputed reputation as dis
ciplinarian he should have it, and that's
all there is about it.

The people OF South Dakota Will have
a chance 10 vote again on the adoption
OF prohibitory constitutional amend
ment. In 1889 that state sdopted con-
stilution and came into the union. The
constitution contained prohlbitory
clause which was voted on separately,
and was adopted, the vote being 4O.234
for prohibition and 345l0 against it. The
state has had about six years of proh-
bitlon, and in response to demand of
portion of the people the question is to be
again submitted.
Without any regard to the question
whether prohibition is a solution OF the
liquor question, six years experiment
is not long enough to test its merit or eff
cacy in any state. The success of the pro-
hibitory laws depends in great measure
on public sentiment, and this sentiment,
to settle itself, requires longer period
than six years in state passing from low
license to prohibition.
Public sentiment is largely a matter Of
education, and requires years to change
prejudice or ignorance to a just or fair
appreciation Of state policy when the
change was 30 great and so sudden as it
was in South Dakota in 1889. In
states where prohibition Of the liquor
traffic has been in force for many years.
as in Vermont, public opinion is prac:i-
cally unanimous for its retention. Yer
mont has had prohibition for forty.slx
years, and the present generation has
grown to regard the selling of liquor as
they do any other crime with similar
punishment, and the opposition to 1t is

where it is in States like Vermont and

Oak ota holds high rank. With pop
ulation not far from double that OF
North Dakota it has a public school en-
rollment nearly three times as large, and
nearly double the number Of churches,
while the proportion of criminals and
paupers is much less. The population
OF the two states is much alike, the ma

Hold The Water.

The unusual drouth of last season has
set many people to thinking about the
matter and studying if there is not some
means by which like misfortune m ay
be avoided or at least modified to a certain
extent One of our farmer subscribers
with whom We were talking last week on
the subject suggested that considerable
moisture could be retained in the land
by damming the creeks at convenient
places in different townships, and thus
holding the early spring waters from
flowing off in flood, providing for an
outflow at certain height in the dam.
There sc ems to be little doubt but that
the suggestion is an important one, and
that ii followed out it would have good
effect in promoting heavy dews and light
showers. The gentleman suggested
that these dams could be built at the
roadways and used instead of bridges,
thus serving double purpose. In line
with this idea are the remarks OF Prot.
Shepard at a meeting recently held at
Huron to discuss the question, OF which
the Huronite said:
"Prof JAS. H. Shepard, OF tie State
Agricultural college and Experiment
station, spoke At some length relative to
/ the benefits 10 be derived from the con-
slrLction OF dams and reservoirs tor hold
/ ing surface water, and advocated sys-
tenn for such work that shall bo both
general and practical. Ditchlng along
roadsldes, and cutting waterways tc
drain low places, should be discouraged
He gave instances where water from
large areas had been drained off, and
where large bodies Of water once existed
the land is now cultivated TO crop. He
thought steps should be taken to pre-
vent draining into rivers, and the water
thus helped out Of the state should be
retained in it and utilized for maturing
crops The annual rainfall is sufficient
for crops. but it is not we'll distributed
and when most needed is most difficult
construction OF dams and reservoirs to
hold the surface water, he regarded as a
wise and practical move-one that would
meet the approval Of the farming com
munity and benefit the whole state. Nc
surer or quicker means Of protection
against damage from hot winds can be
had than the one under consideration.
Prof. shepard also suggested that many
farmers had let their corn stalks remain
In their fields, broken and tramplad
down by cattle, and such fields are to-
day covered with from IL TO l6 inches OF
snow, while those without the means oi
holding snow were entirely free from
the white covering and would therefore
be practically without moisture at seed
time"
