The Finance Committee appoint

vide the wherewith to transport free
the brave boys of the 1st So. Oak.
Vol. Regt. from San Francisco has
notified l.. G.. Ochsenreiter, the
member representing this section of
the state that Day County's share of
the proposed fund was fixed at$1Ouo.
In addition to raising this amount
Mr.. q. is required to look after
Grant, Roberts and Marshall Co.'S
whose respective apportionments
were fixed at $500. $500. and $500
The committee has decided that the
most practical and feasible plan of
raising the money. in view of the
fact that the Governor does not see
fit to call a special session of the
legislature, Is for the business men
of the state to raise the money
through the banks by a system of
guaranteed, notes made payable
March LIST 1901 with interest at 6 per
cent. 1t has been further suggest
ed that the county commissioners
appropriate from the county funds
the necessary amount. In both
cases, reimbursement is confidently
expected to follow from the next
Legislature. As an additional source
of reyenue souvenir buttons are to
be placed on sale throughout the
state at 81. each. The total expense
of transportation is estimated at $50,
900. Mr.. Ochsenreiter called a
meeting of the business men, but the
response was SO slim that he is very
doubtful if the amount assigned Day

The editor of a populist paper at At
lanta, w. II. Emerson enlisted in the
Fifty first Iowa and went TO the Philip
pines. From the firing lines he wrote
letters bone describing the situation and
incidentally praising the administration
and announcing bis intention to stand by
it. 4 populist friend in Cass county sew
erely criticised his expressions and asked
him six questions, covering the positions
of the antiexpansionists, closing by init
matt ng tina: he had turned traitor to his
former convictions. The questions were
for warded and Emerson answered each
one fully closing with the sentiment: 81

are ~overshadowed by the great question
of whether we are TO inaugurate a state
of chaos and disorder or are to maintain
a government of peace and order, and

body is busy and the time of RAISING
the money (Sept 10.) is so limited
that the matter cannot be thorough
~ agltated and action taken. Still
1t will never do for Day Co. to fall
behind its sister counties in the mat
ter OF doing honor to the RETURNING
heroes. The Reporter firmly believes
it the duty of Gov. Lee to
the Legislature in special session to
appropriate the needed amount, but
there appears little hope of his so
dong. Now as there appears a
doubt of raising the mount by pri-
vate subscription WI are in favor of
the County Commissioners appropri.
atlng say 5000 and 1t should be an
easy matter to dispose of 500 souv-
enir buttons. The county can as
easily afford to advance money to
the state as can private individuals
and we do not think any question of
the legality of the proceeding will
be raised. AT all events a general
disposition should be exerted in the
matter to assist Mr.. o. that Day Co.
may retain its well-earned record
for public enterprise and get there
a~tiveness.

DooIey's Philosophy.
Pierre Free Press

The philosophy that abounds in high
class wit and humor is Of more value
than All the ethical work OF Spencer or
the sneculations of sage or dreamer since
the race was born. Wit p%unctures with
its needle point the bubble OF theory,
sarcasm with Damascus blade cuts
through the skin Of arrogant ignorance
and to the heart of hypocrisy. Learned
disouisitions and lengthy arguments Of
ten lend dignity to the bubbles OF 5
uists, while an epigram ora laugh shows
their absurdity. Pope boosted that he
was proud ~ Shakespeare fools were
philosophers and the wisest men are the
men that laugh. Cervantes made chiv-
airy ridiculous. Petroleum V. Nasty
laid bare the injustice of slavery and the
sonhistries of the democratic party: and
now in Mr.. Dooley the new Irish writer,
we have a humorist who a show the
ridiculous pretensions OF the Populists
in a few words. We quote:

INSPIRATION.
.yoIutionist theories on the subject
Some p~uzzling questions.

Some puzzling questions.
The usually accepted theory OF
inspiration is that in ancient times a
certain class of men were moved to
speak by a supernatural power
words that were absolutely true.
The original source of the idea is
not known, but sufficient data may
be obtained to prove that the theory
as at present held is an outgrowth
of opinions that have been in process
of development for many thousand
years. The idea is not exclusively
Chris tian or Jewish but a mixture
of both with pagan theories. Plato
md other philosophers ascribed the
warmth of love, the frenzy of battle,
the gifts of prediction, to the power
of the god possessing the inspired,
who was a passive instrument in his
hands.
The pagan writers seemed to en-
phasize the psychological state of the
inspired while the Christian and Jew
ish writers paid more atten,
ton to the speech or written produc-
duction of the one possessed or CON
trolled by the spirit, yet the latter
affirmed hal the one under control
was not in their normal condition of
mind or body.
For instance the prophet Ezra was
given a cup full of a liquor that re-
sembled fire and Immediately his
mouth was "opened" and shut no
more for forty days and forty nights
while he was debating to his amanu-
g nsis all that had been done in the
world since the beginning till that
time, about 600 b. G. "For the
Jewish law record was burnt sand
all depended upon the memory of
the prophet to restore the lost record.
Origin maintained that the memory
of the inspired never foiled them.
Peter could not have been inspired
when as Luke affirms here "member-
ed the word of the Lord, how he had
said unto him, Before the cock crow,
etc. for this occurred before the "de
cent of cloven tongues"
Must we conclude that such
near of obtaining information is
perfectly reliable.
Why should we be forced to be.
lieve that there ever was a time
whel certain individuals were so
filled with enthusiasm or ecstacy
that they were for the time being
Gods, or possessed with unlimited
powers of mind. 1t is comparative
ly easy to assert that the consequen
ces will be dire if one does not be-
lieve the record of the inspired
writer, who records it as a historical
fact that at one time, a man was two
years older than his father, but for
one who places reason, before faith,
the story is regarded as doubtful.
Is one fortunate, or the reverse, who

Two plans are proposed for securing
funds to bring the boys home. Let citi.

when the legislature meets, or call a

pirate the money. The governor and

funds TO send the boys out; With the

appear equally as safe TO advance the
