An occasional bank failure since
election lends some people to exclaim
that M~chinley's election is not doing
all that was expected of it. But it is.
and more too. Where there is only am
occasional failure now, they would

Bryan been elected. 1t is net sur

revival in industrial affairs might tide
them over this time of depression.

IMPORTANTTO THE WEST.

The recent decision made by the
United States supreme court affirming
the constitutionality of the Wright IT.
rigation law. may provo of much i'm
portance to this entire western
try. 1t would at least seem to be
worthy of notice by this portion of
South Dakota. \ writer in the Inter
Ocean in commenting upon the impor-
lance of the decision. says "thatthe law
IA passed by the California legislature
about ten years ago. 1t was the out
come of Il contest that had been waged
with much bitterness. through IL long
term of years, between the large land
owners and the small farmers. and was
intended to overcome the opposition of
the former to the efforts of the small
farmers to introduce irrigation. and in
cidentally the truck and fruit farm
system, industries which have now be-
come firmly established in all parts of
the state.
The decision as now rendered recog-
nizes in a broad way the authority of Il
state legislature to exercise its discre-
ton as to what shall constitute public
USE. Ii follows the dictate of common
sense, rather than Il too close construc-
ton of the language of the constitu-
ton. 1t is from the court of last re-
sort and must be considered as final.
The general tenor of the law is to
authorize the organization of NUM-
cipal corporations, of agricultural dis
%tricts. as defined in Il petition having
the signatures of not less than fifty
freeholders. 1t empowers such cor
porations to exercise the right of emf
nent domain. confers the taxing power
upon the voters of the district, and
authorizes, under restrictions, the is
suance of bonds to provide for the con-
struction and operation of the neces-
sary irrigation works. 1t provides for
a board of directors representing sub
districts, to be elected annually, which
administer the affairs of the corpora
ton"

There can be no doubt. from all the
reports received iii the daily press. but
that industrial affairs are greatly inn
proving in the east. This part of the
west can not expect to derive so quick
a benefit of this revival as localities
nearer the industrial center. but it will
reach here after awhile just as it al
ways has reached out all overthe coun-
try. When the mills are running and
men arc employed in the east it keeps
the west %hurrying to supply them with
meat. bread-stuii and vegetables. Don't
expect too much III too short Il time.

eLuNDERs OF
\ Well known Orator Points Out Some
Humorous Instances.


Mr.. Joseph Malins, himself a we'll
known public speaker, gives The Woln-
ans Signal some amusing instances of
the humors of public speaking. 1t is,
he thinks, Il lack of tiuoncy that causes
the speaker so often to blunder. Mr..
Malins has listend to a temperance ora
dor deploriag the fact that u friend re-
sorts TO "tl.e frequent use of the daily
glass" lie heard 81 notable lady speaker
speak of sluln children drought into
the world with no more iaea of home
comfort than the children of negroes i'll
Africa"
One speaker said, 81 rise emphatic.
ally aud another said, 81 stand pros.
trate with astouishment.' Yet another
fcclinely told his audience that it was
''not the platform speaker, but tho
house to house visitation and the utter
Mnce Of the silent word by the caller
which did tie most good" The state
ments that ';he previous speakers sug-
g~estions were very suggestive'' and that
another speakers remarks We're "mis-
calculated to mislemd'' MIR. Malins also
mentions.
Then there is the speaker who always
misplaces his chs and who prays ''tllat
we might be brought to the halter"
There WAS "a flight of fancy when the
speaker asked, Suppose if a modern
balloon dropped upon RI un%inl,abited
island, what would the natives say"
Tho scientific lecturer said of his COM
ing experiment that call depends upon
the present condition of the body about
to be created" A town councillor spoke
of "the rivers and streams that abut
OIL the borough boundaries" Among
MI. Malin's other examples is the speak
err who began with saying, "The proper
study of mankind i'll general is the-the
study of mankind in general" where
upon III urchin in the audience cried
out, "You're a-goin in at the same hole
you came out at"
No less embarrassed was the old gen.
tleman, who, stumbling through an
after dinner speech, said, "I-I have
no more to say, and so-and so-INl
make q few more remarks" The build
er frankly declared he was "more fitted
for the scaffold than the platform"
Sometimes the chairman errs in well
coming the speaker. A chairman was
heard to welcome u speaker as one t.who
is always with us, and we wish he
would come oftener." Kind was the an
nouncement that "there will be two
more opportunities to hear the lecturer
once more" 1t was when the meeting
ended that the chairman asked the au-
dience to ''close by singing just one
verse of the doxology."

According to Il Pierre special to the
Sioux City Journal Bryan has carried
South Dakota by lbs plurality. The
vote of each county is given. and while
not official. the figures are taken from
the returns sent to Pierre from the va
rious counties. We observe that an
error is made in the report of the vote
in Fall River county. They give Nc.
Kinley 522 votes, whereas lie received
532, making an errorof 10 votes against
Mckinley. This alone would reduce
the plurality to lis. If similar errors
we're made on many counties it would
give Mckinley the state.

Bone Castings.

Mistake is made by many 'home
dressmakers'' i'll putting on bone cas-
ings drawn very tightly. They should
be left lousc-even wrinkled-as the
bones when inserted will bring them to
their proper ;rclling shape on the in
side. Whalebone soaked i'll warm water
al hour before using render them more
pliable. Belt ribbon should never be
sewed to the underarm seams Bent
hooks should be chosen for fastenings,
setting OH first u hook and then an eye,
and so OH alternately down the bodice,
and it will never unlock of itself.
Waist Innings are cut an inch longer than
the outside to allow for the stretching
of the outside material. The extra
length is taken up gradually in the
seams.

The article in the STAR last week
suggestingthe repealo law permitting
the payment of taxes in warrants, has
been quite generally commended. We
believe it is the only solution for max
ing our warrants worth a%nywheres near
par. We believe it will he best to per
NIT parties to whom warrants are origi-
nally issued to use them in payment of
taxes. but stop at that and prevent if
possible the general brokerage bust
ness in county warrants. This should
be m of the first measures introduced
by our legislators.

There has been sometalk in the east
ern part of the state about .'c%olonizing''
votes in the Hills. We do not belieye
anything of the kind was done. There
possibly were some illegal votes cast
there nearly always are at every cleo
tion-and while the vote of Lawrence
county vas larger than ever before. we
do not believe there was any "coloniz
ing" done. Lawrence county has in
creased in population since the pre-.
vious election. The charge of general
illegality in the Black Hills counties is
unjust to this portion of the state.

OH the fact that it was ut one time

within its wallis Lord Henry Bontinck
first introduced the blue peter, or

playing u higher card before Il lower
