Admiral Sampson, of Uncle Sans
Navy, has touched an unpopular
chord in the American harp of public
opinion, Willingly or unwittingiy.
No difference how, the result is the
same, Wig: A whirlwind of ridicule
and abuse for himself. In substance,
he did not want to see brave and
skilled gunners in the American navy
raised to the rank OF commissioned
officers as vacancies occurred be-
cause they weren't properly schooled
in social etiquette or social graces.
The admiral made a serious mis-
take. A level headed, brave Am ,ri-
can citizen is as good as any man
on earth, fnlly qualified to meet re-
representatives. OF any other nation
on earth. The innate American
freedom, patriotism and democratic
simplicity of our people rebel at
snobbish aristocracy. Lincoln was
a rail splitter, Grant was tanner,
Garfield a mule driver on a canal.
Few men have reached the heighth
to which they attained, and yet this
country's history is filed with exam.
Piles OF men and women who have
climed up the ladder OF enduring
fame from the lower walks OF life.
What man makes of himself--his
real manly worth, whether he IS en-
cased in homespun or broadcloth, is
what the American people tax their
That off to. No social cast or polish,
or foppishness will ever stir the
heart and brain OF u true American.
Simpsons remarks are unfortunate
for him, but are fortunate in being

Illustrates Americanism. A gunner,
an engine swipe, coal beaver, ii he
has it in him, may occupy th, high
est position in the gift OF the Aineri-
can pc ople.

1t is noticed by perusal of the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader that Sen.
ator Franklin Pettigrew, of Sioux
Falls, Aiinnehaha County, South
Dak., L. S. A., has retired from the
United states Senate. Confidsnti IL
ly, we have often wondered what
caused this long, bitter struggle.
Did the mighty Senator and poiiti-
cal boss once try to crush the life
and hope out of two struggling
young newspaper men who had the
nerve to seek living in Sioux Fails
without bending the knee fawning
to the then reigning monarch? Ii
so, it was the crowning folly OF Pet
tigrew's lie, for while he worked or
slept the newspaper went on in its
irresistible course OF destruction.
What power in the newspaper A
man of wonderful energy and force,
yet withal, who can say that the
Senator would have climbed to the
height he did-without Jolly. brainv
old Cal and his Press? Orwho may
say that he would not have retained
his eminence-if let alone by I Iomlin-
son & Day and their .irgus-Leader ?

Legislative.

The educational bill has passed
both houses. The law repeals all
existing measures on that subject
and is therefore complete. Every
phase of the educational question in
this state is determined by this
measure and hereafter it will only
be necessary to acquaint oneself
with this one law in order to become
acquainted with the school laws OF
South Dakota.
The supreme court decision that
Gov. Herreid could not GUST the

suit in a new law to vacate these

partisan sense, but because the

NEW YORK REAL ESTATE AGENT ON
 THEIR CHARACTERISTICS.

Peculiar Line. Which, According to
 His Experience, People of Different
 Nationaiities Take In Causing
 Trouble to the Owners.
 The first questita put by the renting agent was, "WhnI nationality, please2" and the woman in the blue hat replied byasking. Why do you want to knowr-
 "l meant ko offense," said the agent. Il only thought that by finding out your nationality I could refer you at once to certain buildings on my list which would be apt to please you" The woman in the blue hat had half notion to get angry.
 ''I don't see what my nationality has to do with finding a suitable fiat" she said
 'It has a good deal to do with It." said the agent. "Now, can see straight of that you are an American. born and bred. This Is delicate ques- ton that you have plunged me into, but since am in 1t mean to founder around a little while longer and tell you few facts pertaining to the mari:s and demerits of different nationalities considered In the light of iathouse tenants.
 First of all, want to speak from the standpoint of prompt payment. If my success in business dep@aded upon each tenant paying his lent exactly when 1t was due, would try to All all my houses with Scotchmen. Never have l lost penny on a Scot, and sell dom have I had to walt.
 ''I am not making the rash assertion that 1t is impossible for a Scotchman to be dishonest while everybody else is trying his best to cheat me out of my very eyeteeth. The point I wish to make Is that personally I have never suffered loss at the hands of Scot But they give trouble in other ways They are fearfuliy quarrelsome and raise so many rows with the other ten- ants through the dumb walter shaft that it keeps the janitor busy straight ening out domestic snarls. In all my buildings where Scotchmen reside select janitor with view to his even disposition and diplomatic gifts. 1t | doesn't matter so much about his abil- | ity for scrubbing and keeping the fur mace going. Utllitarian accomplish ments are a secondary consideration so long as he Is endowed with the blessed | qualities of peacemaker.

He doesn't bother his neighbors and he doesn't bother me unless the provocation Is extreme. As rule, he Is good pay too. The only fault l have to find with him Is his fondness for moving. A lease Is a dead letter in his eye, and he has no more compunction about moving with out a days notice than he has about going to bed when he Is sleepy" 1 The woman in the blue hat asked what were the chief characteristics of | Americans as tenants.
 Their supreme selfshness," said the agent. "They have not a spark of consideration for landlord. They want the earth. They never get through asking for improvements. They are not content to get the walls tinted and the woodwork painted and the plumbing fixed once or twice year. They want new decorations every month, and all tho trimmings must be first class too.

nm ana Kindness to the executioncf- while yet they pushed the spear and hammered the spikes and howlvd the Dlasphemies. All the stories Of the John Towards and the Florence Night ,ngales and the Grace Darlings and the Ida Lewises pale before this transcend ent example of him whose birth and life and death are the greatest story that the world ever heard and the theme of the mightiest hosanna that heaven ever lifted. Yea, the very kind ness that allowed both hands to be nailed to the horizontal timber of the cross with that cruel thump, thump, now stretches down from the skies those same hands filled with balm for all our wounds. forgiveness for all our crimes, rescue for all our serfdoms!
 And, while we take this matchless kindness from God. may 1t be found that we have uttered our last bitter word, written our last cutting para graph, done our last retaliatory action, felt our last revengeful heart throb. And 1t would not be bad epitaph for any of us If, by the grace of God, from this time forth we lived such benefi- cent lives that the tombstone's chisel could appropriately cut upon the plain slab that marks our grave a suggestion rom the text, He showed us no little kindness" But not until the last child of God has got ashore from the earthly storms that drove him on the rocks like Mediterranean Euroclydons, not until all the thrones of heaven are mounted and all the conquerors crowned and all the harps and trumpets and organs of heaven are thrummed or blown or sounded and the ransomed of all climes and ages are in full chorus under the jubilant swing of angelic baton and we shall for thousands of years have seen the river from under the throne rolling into the sea of glass mingled with fire" and this world we now inhabit shall be so far in the past that only stretch of celestial memory can recall that it ever existed at all, not until then will we understand what Nehemiah calls the great kindness" and David calls "the marvellous kindness" and which Isaiah calls the everlasting kindness" of Godv

reaIy so much proht In catering to them as to other nationallties, for the simple reason that have to pay out nearly all my income in trying to keep up the building in the style they de- mand. On the other hand, the people who ask for the least are the Italians and the French. They take most any old thing I feel like giving them, the French meekly providing their own decorations and the Italians going without.
 "I like German tenants pretty well, too, but they are terribly hard on flats. never could understand how they manage to inflict so much damage on walls and floors. Judging by the looks of an apartment just vacated by a large German family, one would think that their star piece of furniture was a batterlng ram.
 "The czar's former subjects also have an abnormally developed bump of de. structiveness, although they run to glass Instead of clustering. have one house down town that Is occupied by ten Russian families, and if they were not compelled to repair their own dam ages 1t would keep me poor putting In new windows and buying new gas globes.
