Speech and Hands.

A professor who has made a study of
children says he has discovered why
the majority of the people are right
handed, Infants use both hands until
they begin to speak. The motor speech
function controls the right side of the
body, and the first right handed mo-
tions are expressive motions, tending
to help out speech AS speech grows so
does right handedness

Lieutenant Colonel Frank D. Eager,
OF the First Nebraska regiment, ex-
pressed himself in these words con.
oernfng the conduct of the war in the
Philippines by Gen. Otis: "There has
been too much fault-fnding with
Major General Otis. He is an honest,
able and conscientious man. He has
acted in way he considered best to
end the rebellion. He may not be a
Grant or Sherman, but, in my opin-
ion, he is entitled to great credit for
what he has accomplished, especially
with the means at his command"

From Saturdays DAILY THE REPUBLICAN
With this issue The REPUBLICAN
is sixteen years old-quite a mature age
for daily paper in this part OF the
western country. And THE REPUBLI-
CAN has never been in more healthy
condition than it is at present. With
the very encouraging appreciation in
the way OF strong circulation amor e
its home people and an equally strong
endorsement by the business men OF
Mitchell and outside firms as evidenced
by the crowded condition of our sdyer-
tising columus-THE REPUBLICAN
aims to improve and keep abreast with
the times.
The eeREPuBLICAN appreciates the
liberal patronage it receives at the
hands of the people OF Mitchell and it
will strive in every way to retain the
good favor which it enjoys. THE RE
PUBLICAN starts on its seventeenth
year with good prospects,
The weekly edition of. The REPUB-
LICAN, known as THE MITCHELL CAP
1TAL, Is enjoying the same degree OF
prosperity. Its mission is to serve the
people in the country and that it is
accomplishing this Is made evident by
the very large increase in circulation
that has come to it in the past year.

A sort of a civil service rule has
been adopted in the public schools OF
Omaha in reference to teachers which
is briefly explained In this paragraph
found in the Minneapolis Tribune:
A letter from one of the teachers in
the Omaha schools informs US that the
board OF education Of that city, by an
unanimous vote, has passed resolution
providing that teachers and principals
having served successfully for tive
years in the city schools shall be placed
upon a permanent list, from which
they shall only be removed for cause
and upon due hearing. This places
the Omaha schools upon progressive
basis, takes the teachers out of the
hands OF the politicians and rewards
merit.

THE NEW POSTAL CARDS.
They May Be of Any Color, and Have
Printing on Both Sides.

Printing on Both sides.
Rochester Herald: Postmaster James
S. Graham has received ruling of the
department at Washington that is OF
great importance to the whole business
world. 1t bears the signature Of Post
master General Charles Emory Smith,
and will go into effect at once. Under
this ruling of the postmaster general
private postal cards may hereafter be OF
any color. Up to the present time
.here have been restrictions as to color,
but now the cards may be red, white Or
blue, or in fact all of these colors COM
bined, or even like the famous prison
black flag or the historical red flag OF
the pirates. Another great privilege
accorded by this order is that these
cards may now bear printed or written
matter on both sides, provided the mat
ter on the front, or addressed side of
the card, does not interfere with a dis
| tinct address to the person to whom it
is forwarded. OF course it must be
distinctly understood that these rul-
ings refer only to private postal cards,
those used principally by manufact-
urers and business houses. The regu-
lar government postal cards will be is-
sued and sold the same as before.
| The act of congress approved May
| 10. 1898, authorized the transmission in
the mails of private cards bearing
written messages at the postage rate OF
a cent apiece, of the same form, size,
quality and weight as stamped postal
cards. BY the order just issued these
remain the same. The weight is six
pounds and three ounces to thousand
cards, and the size is not to exceed
three and one-quarter by five and one
half inches. They must still bear the
words ''Private mailing card, authoriz
ed by act of congress May 19, 1898, al
SO on the upper right hand corner O
the address side an oblong diagram
with the words: "place the postage
stamp here" and on the lower lef
hand corner: ''This side for address
only" Engravings and advertisement
may be printed on the front if they dt
not interfere with a perfectly distinc
address. The messages on the card
may be. either in writing or in print
and on the message side may also ap
pear advertisements, illustrations o.
other matter, printed either in black o.

The Sioux Falls Press thinks the re-
publican papers feel hurt because it
"exposed their trickery," and that
THE REPUBLICAN ''appears to be most
injured bd the way it hutters." and the
Press adds:
1t is true that falsehood is never
proved by simple assertion and The
REPUBLICAN ought to apply the rule
to itself. II it knows of anything the
Press has said that is false it should Of
fer proof OF !ts falsity and not content
itself with insinuations. The Press
has on more than one occasion apollo
gized for misstatements which have
crept into its columns and it stands
ready to do 30 at any time when it has
erred. But not one OF the republican
newspapers has apologized for the
falsehood about those Manila letters.
The opportunity is particularly ripe
for the Press to apologize if it really
feels like it. Several weeks ago the
Press published letter presumed to
have been written by Mrs. Jetfery, OF
Davis, to her son in Manila, member
of the South Dakota volunteer regi-
ment, asking him to come home, that
his father had died in March, that the
farm WAS about to be sold for taxes, and
that he had been offered position in
az elevator at $50 month. That this
letter is apparently an absolute forgery
is shown by Mr.. Davis, living at
Davis, who stated in letter to the
Argus.Leader that the father and
mother of this boy have been dead for
fifteen years and that the boy had
never been offered the elevator posi-
ton. What WAS the object in publish
ing the Mrs. Jetfery letter? Up to the
present time The REPUBLICAN has
not noticed the Press retracting the
ialsehood and evident forgery which 1t
gave to the public as being true.
When the Press apologies for this
piece OF work it may question the alleg-
ed dishonesty OF other newspapers.

A Town Fighting for Its Existence.

A novel Injunction application has
just been denied by Circuit Judge
Gaffy, says a Pierre dispatch. In a
fight for prestige between the two
towns OF Miller and St. Lawreuce, on
the Northwestern road in Hand county,
Miller was victor and SO many build
ings were bought and moved from St.
Lawrence to Miller tina. the former
town is about wiped out. To prevent
any further removals an injunction was
sought on the ground that the value oi
the oblig ations incurred by ST. Law.
renee were being impaired by this re.
ducing of taxable property. The cour,
held this not to be good grounds for
action and denied the relief asked.

Philadelphia North American: AS
ide from the general emollient effect
Of the pesce conference at The Hague
upon the thought and feeling OF the
world-which effect may be deep or
shallow, lasting or transient, but in any
case good-the gathering has been
serviceable in giving the United States
timely opportunity to reaffirm the
vitality OF the Monroe doctrine.
There has been disposition abroad,
as we'll as in some quarters at home,
to argue that because the war with
Spain carried US away from our own
side OF the world into the Philippines,
We can no longer consistently insis,
upon the exclusion Of colonizing Europe
from this hemisphere. This logic is
not sound, but even If 1t were, the fact
is worth restraining with emphasis
that striving after consistency is 40,
the chief object for which nations
exist. Moreover, we have as much
right to be in Asia as either England
Russia or Germany has.

to be respected hereafter for the came
reason that 1t has been respected here
tofore-because the United States hai

Spain having drawn mankind's atten
