Aberdeen citizens are getting very
cute IN their patriotism. They are now
appropriating to themselves The idea
suggested by the Sioux Falls people
some time ago in regard to getting the
First South Dakota regiment home to
the state in a body and thus giving them
areception, that it be done by sending
the adjutant general of the state or the
governor out to San Francisco and en-
rolling the boys az the South Dakota
Notional Guard aud thus bring them
home at the expense of the state. The
suggestion is accompanied by the naive
remark: "Some slight legal technically
might be violated by this procedure, but
II the governor would act, there is not a
man in South Dakota who would take
the matter into court or raise the ques.
ton Of ~illegality."
Aberdeen is always resourcesful and
not over scrupulous whore there is m
thing in sight for Aberdeen. But as
this is patriotism We are in for it to.
