STATE SOLDIERS HOME. Hot Springs.

fine n and we'll adapted to all the needs
of its occupants. The Home has been a
credit to the state from its first inception
and less friction has been noted than in
any other state institution.
Col. Arthur Linn has been the com
mandant in charge since July 1. 1897.
Many" Improvements in the surroundings
have been made since that time, both in
ternal and about the grounds. The roads
leading to the Home have been made very
satisfactory. indeed, the driveway in front
of the building being enlarged in a way to
add greatly to its appearance. Flowers
and vines in profusion and the wide veran-
cas-, afford a pleasant. cool resort for the
members who seem to be enjoying these
latter days of a useful life. in a peaceful.
comfortable way-a condition which seems
to permeate the Home. 1t seems SO har-
monious and restful that ever the casual
visitor is impressed by it, and nodoubt the
veterans often feel ''it is good to be here. +"
The Home is is visited by all the tourists
and invalids that come to the Springs for
it is one of the most attractive spots here.
An attendant is always ready to show the
the sight-seer about and the universal YER
dict is one of universal praise for the
beautifully clean room. the orderly appear
ance everywhere. the tidy look of the vet
Grams and the systematic and carefully
preserved discipline of the Home.
Colonel Linn seems eminently fitted for
the position of c~ommandant. Mrs. Linn

THE The people of this
Mn-,oNn, part of the state met
with something of a
SAtNt ANtOM disappointment in

the failure of the conference commit
tee to agree on the matter OF the
Northern Branch of the National Sol
diers' Home, but with the native en-
ergy and push which belongs to the
state they at once rallied aud the ques-
ton will be again submitted as soon
as possible. In a letterreceived in Bot
Springs this week Senator Pettigrew
writes that the matter of National Sol
diers' Home at Hot Springs was not
settled till the last day of the fiscal
year. Not till the last moment did
Senator Allison yield the poiut. He
stood by the appropriation faithfully
and only gave up when he found that
to hold the position longer je%opardized
the appropriation for the sundry civil
bill. Senator Pettigrew writes that
he will introduce another billthis COM
ing winter with the same object and
expects it to succeed. The thanks of
state and Hot Springs particularly, are
due all who SO ably and faithfully
stood by the measure regardless of
party.

Hon. Edwin Van else of Deadwood is a
prominent candidate for the republican
nomination for congress from the Black
Hills. He is we'll known throughout the
state and if he wins out in Lawrence
county will make a very strong candidate
in the coming convention. If the Black
Hills unite upon MIR. Van Cise his nominal

Mr.. Van Cise is intensely loyal to repub-
lican doctrines. He is an able lawyer and
has been unusually successful in his prac.
tice. He is a close student of the times
and conditions and is we'll posted on all
the vital issues of the day. The Blacl
Hills should have a representative in con

When the Greeks went against Troy
they bore no visible ensign; they raj
lied again and again for ten long years
in struggles rendered famous by poet
and painter. No floating banner nus
tered the hosts from the hills and vales

had been interpreted to generation

When the Roman mother sent her

In the flag of Great Britain we see

The above article caught the eye of the
alert reporter for this edition of the STAR
and we felt that while it was a statement
of fact it did not do full justice to the SUBJ
ject, as it could be done by a resident of
Hot Springs who is in close touch with all
her interests in which the Soldiers Home
takes a prominent place. The location of
the Soldiers Home at Hot Springs was a
most fortunate measure for the ex-soldiers
of the state. Our representatives legislated
more wisely than they knew'in the selec-
ton. Climate and water had both been
tried and were known to be good, but ex-
p~erience has proven that their curative
properties surpass even the knowledge and
expectation of the %originators of the meas
ure. Because of their wonderful power
and combined advantages. the fame OF
which has gone abroad in the land, fire..
quent applications are received at the
Home for the admission of invalid veter.
ans all over the union. Hence the great
need of a National Sanitarium here, a
measure which has recently been defeated
during the stress of war, but which will nc
doubt be again presented and carry in the
near future. The advantages here cannot
be duplicated in the United States.

honor of a unanimous nomination from
the three conventions representing the
united opinion of nearly twelve hundred
representative men from every county in
the state. is indeed a mark of confidence
and esteem which any man in the nation
might be proud of. But better yet, Gov
ernor Lee has earned this high testimonial
from all the ~people-not alone his party
friends. He represents the people-not
the corporations-and every interest of the
tax payer has been faithfully guarded in
his wise. business-like administration. He
made a determined and successful fight for
economy in state affa irs from the day he
assumed the office of governor. and made
a record with reference to the state funds
which no other governor is likely to dis
regard. He demanded that the state cash
be produced at Pierre, because the law
says the governor shall see the cash before
approving the treasurer's bond. Governor
Lee saw the cash and counted it. This
buslness-like procedure would lave saved
Taylor and the state.
When Governor Lee was nominated two
years ago he was a comparative stranger
to most of the people of the state. but af-
ter his administration had stood the test
OF time and treachery from inside and out
side his party. the people are prompt to
recognize his honesty of purpose. his econ
omy in public affairs and a fearless dis
charge of duty. These elements combine
what the people expect and demand from
their executive. and it is gratifying to the
people of the state. without regard to pol
itics, that South Dakota today is of the
best governed states in the Union-best
governed because free from corruption and
intrigue.
Governor Lee was born in Bergen, Nor
way in 1s47. and arrived in Dane county,
Wisconsin, with his parents in 1851. He
attended school until 1862, when he was
offered the position of clerk in a store at
McGregor, Iowa. which he accepted and
filled with credit for five years. At the
end of his McGregor career he returned to
Madison. Wisconsin, where he had been
offered a more important position which he
filled until 1860, when he decided to en-
gage in business for himself, and started
for Vermillion. Dakota Territory, where
he arrived in the fall of 1869. He formed
a partnership with his young friend. Mi.
Prentis, and that partnership exists today.
The firm of Lee & Prentis is one of the
best known in the state and transacts an
immense business. The governor is rec
ognized as one of the clearest-headed bus
mess men in the state. and no doubt much
of his success rs executive of the state is
due to the splendid business methods en-
ploysd in his commercial enterprises. He
has demonstrated that it is more business
and less politics that is needed at Pierre.
He has watched and guarded every de.
parsment over which the governor is the
legal Guardian and the people of this state
are satisfied that Governor Lee has per-
formed his responsible duties we'll and hon.
estly. He is again before the people for
reelection. and it is not assuming much to
say that he will be reelected by q good
majority.

elected by large majorities over the bal
ance of his ticket. He is now being
strongly urged as a candidate for state
treasurer on the republican ticket. and the
in dications are that he will be the nomi-
nee, which would be equivalent to his
election.
He possesses especial qualifications for
this position and would bring to the office
a knowledge of the essential details for its
conduct that would at once mark him as a
model state treasurer.
Of. unimpeachable record, a capable,
thorough business man with a marked ca
pability for detail. the party will choose
wisely and we'll in presenting his name to
the voters of South Dakota as their choice
for state treasurer,
Leading all other names on the list of
candidates for the nomination of governor
on the republican ticket. comes that of
Kirk G. Phillips of Deadwood. No man
in the party has a better official record.
His service to the state as treasurer has
been without blemish and has placed him
before the people as deserving furthet rec
ognition for his exceptionally satisfactory
administration of that office. If Mr.. Phil
lips carries his own county he will no
doubt have the unanimous support of the
Black Hills
He has many warm friends all over the
state who recognize his ability and inteA-
rity, and should he receive the nomination
his election is a ~foregone conclusion.
