DR.. Mead Appointed.

Sioux Falls Is. ID Press.
The appointment of DR.. Mead to the
superintendency of the insane hospital
was expected. He wanted the position.
To head off all competitors he had Sc
cured the Endorsement of nearly every
Republican physician in the state before
the meeting Of the legislative committee
had made its report, the physicians who
had indorsed Dr. Mead were not inter
ested enough to withdraw their indorse-
ment. So he goes back to that most re-
sponsible position.
The finding by the committee that DR.
Mead had private account" giving
details of now he handled thousands Of
dollars of state money, which he refused
to permit them to examine, should have
placed a permanent bar to him as a
candidate for office.
But even worse than that was his care
lessness when the fire occurred at the
hospital causing the death of seven III
mates. The inmates were all locked in
the building, and there was no watchman.
None had been provided for. All this
occurred under Mead's former misman'
agement. 1t is not denied by DR.. Mead or
his friends.
In the face of this record, the board Of
charities and corrections gave him COM
mission and he will resume management.
This was done at the dictation of Gov.
Herreid.

THE GA1NsBoRouGH PORTRAIT.

Whatever thesreaI facts of the theft
and subsequent. return ef the famous
Gainsbrough eportrait Of the Duchess
of Devonshffe may be the world
OF art and art lovers VIII re-
joice in itsn restoration. There are
few English paintings sc notable as
this. Its mysterious disappearance lent
an air of mystery TO it and aroused
degree of popular interest in the work
which would not perhaps have prevailed
had it not been stolen. Its recovery at this
time, and the fact that the reputed thief
succeeds in securing the reward attached
to it's recovery has but little significance.
The crime involved In It's disappearance
has been merely compromised by time.
and. after an ordinary lifetime the sur
vivors Of those who conceived and ac-
complished the theft are in a position to
reap the fruits Of their daring achieve
ment. 1~@ t
There is enough known Of the original
portrait to make those who are familiar
with it's various reproductions to wish
that if it. does pass into private owner
ship the world will not be denied access
to it entirely. The fact that most of
the grandest works of sart, ancient and
modern, are. from time to time placed at
the disposal of the masses. is one of the
most gratifying circumstances that can
be pointed to in connection with the edu-
cation of thesmasses in the higher stand
ards of artistic and esthetic tastes. -
It Is little less than an inspiration
which induced even the most arbitrary
rulers of modern times to take steps to
place at the public disposal the grandest
masterpieces of the world which they
acquired as the result Of military con-.
quest. Indeed there is no other direc-
tfon in which such men as the first Ma
poleon have secured to themselves the
gratitude Of THE. masses in anything
like the same measure as in the liberal
ity which they displayed In securing to
public owRershing SO many grand works
of the chisel and pencil.
The recovery OF the Gainsbrough por-
trait will be generally welcomed all the
more sincerely ifGthere is any prospect
that it may be placed from time to time
at the disposal Of 4he general public for
their examinatioft.91 e

WHAT A RAILROAD CAN DO.

The movement for good roads was
started in the United States as a con-
certed undertaking some years ago. It
Is a regrettable circumstance that not
withstanding the tireless efforts put for
ward by many citizens and organiza-
tions having no other purpose an:mating
them than the general good, the move
ment must be said to have made little or
no headway up to the present.
1t is true that in certain states and
headway. made, and the necessary con-
dition Of public feeling aroused but
even in the Oldest settled and most pro-
gressive localities the movement is at a.
standstill. Nor has the laudable eff
forts of the postoffice department toward
establishing free rural delivery had any
substantial effect on the situation The
farming population of the entire country
must be written down as utterly indff-
ferent. if not hostile, notwithstanding
that the movement is one the success of
terial gains to them.
The little progress thus far made does
rot mean that the movement is or is not
likely to be failure. It simply means
that more practical efforts must be put
forward than have as yet been made
| available The plan of action thus far
pursued is very plainly not the most ef-
fective. The gain to the people by good
roads is altogether too plain to justify
, the belief that there is anything like
settled hostility to the movement. It is
pleasant to be able to note new de-
parture just taken in the effort to bring
home the practicability and necessity of
good roads TO the minds of the farm
ers. The active agent in the matter is
the Illinois Central railroad That COR
! poration has interested itself actively in
the good roads movement It proposes
] to demonstrate to the farmers along its
line the wisdom of seriously improving
series of object lessons the art of road
building.
The plan of operations decided on by

known as the Central illinois Good Roads
association, has train loaded with all
| the necessary material for road-building.
| including machinery adequate to build
any sort of road from e-macadam to the
ordinary dirt road. A series of good
road conventions will be held at certain
| points along the line Of the road, and
| Prof. w. r. Hoag, under the direction
of the road will attend these conventions

the East, as a result Of bold declara-
tion made by Rev B. NJ Adams, of
Bethal, Conn, to the effect that there
was a marked falling off in the young

of dancing and card playing. The reason
given is that young ladies who do not

heterodox opinion was expressed in a

of the church as to dancing and card

things are regarded as the best catcfss

We are in the Philippines to stay; that
goes without further proof. The con-
quest of the Philippines may be ''crim-
inal aggression and all that, but it is
no worse than the conquest of New Mex
leo and California; and that was the
work of tho Democratic party. 1t will be
well for Democrats to act in accord with
these facts. Some Of the recent express
sions of sympathy with Aguinaldo were
not wisely considered. The insurrection
must be put down as soon as possible
Peace must be established. The thing
for Democrats to insist en-, is that self
government in internal affairs be estab-
lished in the Philippines as soon as pos
sible. This may be the plan of the ad-
ministration, but, as yet, there is moth
ing to indicate 1t. If congress had adopt
ed definite resolution to this effect, it
would have removed the only plausible
reason that can be urged in behalf Of
the insurgents, and the failure of con-
gress to do so was, no doubt, a most
serious blunder 1t is, however, safe to
say that the American people will event
ually insist upon giving the Filipinos the
same rights and liberties which they
themselves enjoy.
