DECEMBER SCHOOL MONEY
Dawson County Gets a Good Lift to
Help in the Conduct of City
and County Schools.

Land Commissioner Eastman has
just made the December apportion-
ment Of the interest and income fluid
for the various schools of the state.
Under this apportionment Lawson
county will receive 81, ,263.06, as the
second distribution Of the school
money of the year. The June appor-
tionment amounted to $270, ,923. IS, or
a rate per capita of 1854 for every
school child in the state. The De.
cember apportionment amounted in
total for the state to $40, 1868. 04, or 81
cents per capita.
The total amount Of money received
for Dawson county for the year will
be SIS, 1921 and this sum goes lone
way to help bear the expenses Of the
city and county schools. This is tht
largest sum ever received by tht
county.
This school money is great bene
fit to the schools Of the state ant
makes it easier on the people wh'
pay the school taxes.

There Will be Something Doing.

Vermillion Republican: Keep your
eye on Mitchell-in case of a resub-
mission of capital location.
The admonition Of our Vermillion
namesake is a good one indeed. In
the matter Of selecting a city for 2
candidate against Pierre, Mitchell
people are not alone in the hope that
this city will be selected by the leg
islature. If it is there is mighty
good chance for the capital to be
transferred to the domain Of the
center of popuiation-the place where
the capital ought to he located.
Mitchell's chances are improving
every day that work is being done
in her interest, and there are few
days when the people here are idle
on that proposition. The city is
making it's fight strictly on its mer-
it's and on that basis it expects tx
win out.

Death of a Little Girl.

Edith, the little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Gus. Bergquist, died Sat-
urday at 7 O'Clock a. M, aged years.
The little girl had just recovered
from an attack Of scarlet fever when
pneumonia set in, which caused her
death. She was d bright little
child and her death will be a sad
blow to the parents.
Funeral services were held over the
remains of Edith, the little daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gus. Bergquist, at
their home on east Hanson street,
Sunday afternoon. There was large
number of friends present and some
handsome floral offerings were ar
ranged around the casket. The SER
vices were conducted by Rev. O.
Klavior, pastor of the Norwegian
| Lutheran church, the music being
furnished by the Misses McConkey.
The remains were laid to rest in
Graceland cemetery. The friends
of the family will extend their sincere
sympathy in the hour of their
bereavement.

BETTER TIME TO CHICAGO
The Milwaukee Road Said to be Con-
templating a Change in Its
Trains to Chicago.

There has been more or less rail-
road talk about the changes in the
running Of the passenger trains over
the Milwaukee road on it's line to
Chicago. The Sioux City Journal
gives some currency to the report by
publishing a rumor of the contem-
plated changes out OF that city for
Chicago, which is to take place
shortly after the tirst of the new year.
The Journal says that it is the in
tention OF the road to cut down the
running time OF the passenger trains
between that point and Chicago, and
to equip the train with the finest
coaches in the service Of the road,
and that the running time will be
the fastest between the Missouri
river and Chicago. Much larger
engines are to be employed in hand
ling the passenger traffic in orde
make greater speed. The Journal
states that if the present program is
carried out that the Chicago train
Will leave Sioux City at 7 o'clock
instead of $40, the present leaving
time.
doubtless this change will cause
some changes in the time tables for
this part of the state. The train
which leaves Mitchell at II :O5 for
Sioux City and Chicago, reaches the
former place at lis, and it is hardly
likely that the road would require
Its passengers to lay at Sioux City
nearly three hours to take the
Chicago train. Under those circum-
stances it is thought that change
will be made in the departure of
trains from this city, and farther
north, to make closer connections.

1t Won't he Needed.

Armour Herald: John Longstaff
has donated million dollars for cap
ital buildings at Huron. John told
us very privately when on the edit
orial excursion last summer away out
on Lake Superior he would make the
donation, but our advice to him was
to let the state erect the buildings
and use his million in securing votes
among the legislative members when
he reached Pierre for capital re-
moval bill. But the-''member from
Beadle was to honest to act on sc
wise a suggestion.

1t is Often the Case.

Armour Herald: Personally, Bro.
Downey Of the Mitchell Republican,
is pretty good fellow, but his ad-
vice given to the South Dakota Press
association would carry more weight
with it if he would become member
of the association and attend few OF
the meetings. The same is perhaps
true of few others who have OBJ
iected to the midwinter meeting be-

fquently by unconcealed timidity.
Under his nominal leadership the
Democratic party in the popular
branch of Congress has degenera-
ted into feeble opposition. 1t is
due largely to Mr.. Richardson's
demonstrated incapacity that the
Democrats have thus far been un-,
able to make united, concerted
and consolidated effort to resist
the repelling policy of the Repu-
blican party. The truth OF the
matter is that Mr.. Richardson has
been outgeneraled at every point
by the Republican leaders He
has been no match for Mr.. Payne
of New York or Mr.. Dalzell of
Pennsylvania, or Mr.. Grosvenor OF
Ohio, or for any other of the par
liamentary leaders in the House.
In voting yesterday with the
Republicans to wrest millions OF
| dollars from the farmers and plan
ters of the United States and to
hand it over to the Sugar Trust,
Mr.. Richardson has forfeited the
confidence, the sympathy and the
support of Democrats throughout
the nation. A nominal opponent
! of trusts, he has demonstrated
that be is actually the trusts
stanchest friend. Ostensibly the
peoples protector" he has pro-
ven that he is really the peoples
most 'insidious enemy. An alleg-
ed champion of tariff reform" he
! is stealing the livery of free trade
to serve the Sugar Trust in. His
voice and his vote will hereafter
deceive nobody. 1t is we'll that
Democrats should know who are

chardson's vote applies, in modi-
fed form Of course, to the votes of
Mr.. Swanson of Virginia and Mr..
Mcclellan of New York, who also
,, yesterday voted with the Republi-
cans on this Payne bin. Mr.
