4 The report Of the tax commissio on
Dis in the hands Of Gov. Van SAINT,
and ready for the consideration of
the legislature whenever that body
Esha7l be called together, which will
|plobably be in four or five weeks.
THE report and tax bill together
make about eight or nine newspa-
srcr pages Of fine type. The report
Eof the commission is largely. ex-
Eplanatory Of the. bill, and the ac-
Count Of the commissions work.
While some Of the city papers will will
publish the report il full, it is mani ,i:l
festly too long for country papers u &
handle, for that reason it would By
aSgood idea for the state authorities
toshave it printed in supplement
form, and send it out to the news
papers of the state to circulate and
toget it before the people in it en-
tirety. There are probably none
but what would be glad to do this
SOFAS to get the matter thoroughly
before the public. Through such a
scheme the people generally would
haye.a chance to become familiar
with it, where otherwise they would
know nothing about it, further
than what little they may be able to
pick up about it from comments up
on this. or that feature by the paper,
This is matter the governor should
take. note of at, orce and bring it
abput within the next ten days if
possible so the people may have
time to see it. 49,.

women to have the right to pro-
pose? That is one of the offshoots OF
the main question Of equal rights.
1t seems strange that in the Discus
sion fuller recognition has not been
given to the fact that women not
only have the right to propose al
ready, but that they often exercise
that right. Of course they don't
put on the melo-dramatic pose @and
fall on one knee and clasp theil
hands and roll up their eyes and
repeat the carefully prepared speech.
If that is the kind Of Il right which
it is proposed to give them the dis
cussion might as well end before it
begins, for they are not so great
fools in love matters as, the men,
and they wouldn't exercise such a
right..if they had it. They don't
need, neither do they use, any such
course, red handed, big-footed way
of proposing, but the woman who is
in love with a man needs to give to
her heart no voice III order to make
him understand, unless he is a
stupid, and in that case it is better
for her to set her heart to thump-
ing TO somebody ebe
As a rule the popping of the
question is much like the popping
of corn which is preceded by the
stirring of the fire, the Smelling Of
the kernel and Replacing them in
the pepper, and when one sees these
preparations going on it doesn't take
a genius to guess what is going to
happen. Long before the young
man kneels at the feet of the fair
and long before the question
and answer find voice, the inter1o-
cation point begins to shape itself in
caramels and flowers, boat rides
and nights at the theater, and the
question begins to be the answered,
and love begins to- speaks through
the eyes long before it does through
the lips. He isn't always the one
who does all the asking nor the one
who AWAY does all the answering.
Love isn't a monologue. What is
called the proposal is the crudest and
coarsest part of lovemakng, and hence
it should be left to the awkward
fellow, as more in lis line, rather
than have the grace and modesty OF
lowered too such clumsy
work

lessness in dress is an exceedingly
common cause Of pneumonia. Dry

two scholarships in Hampton Institute as a
memorial to the faithful colored servant of
George Washington. who did excellent service
for his country a courier during the revo-

Woman sWorld
CLUBS AND CHARITIES
A STUDY OF SOCIAL CUSTOMS

A1rs. w. II. Coad's Paper ON "Modern
Barba risma."
At the meeting last week of the South Da-
kota Federation of Womens Clubs, Mrs. W.
T. Coad read one Of the brightest papers Of
the convention Modern Barbarisms," a
study of social customs that she thought
might be changed for the better. She found
the hatiliments Of several foreign nations
more graceful and beautiful than the Ameri-
can male costume Of stiff shirts and creased
trousers. Even the Indian has evolved a cos
tune much better suited to his condition In
the buckskin hunting shirt, leggings and moe
casins. and the Intelligent frontiersman has
paid him the compliment OF adopting It. The
ease, comfort and grace OF the ktmono was
contrasted with the sweeping skirts to which
American women cling. The speaker said:
Tho complex civilization In which we live
fastens upon us many customs and duties un-
known to primitive existence, which are Of
ten irksome and trying to the spirit, making
the conventional lives we are Obliged to lead
seem at times not worth the living. Among
the objectionable impediments to sustained

require one to accept invitations when she

perfect in ventilation. The Indian, unlike US,
from generations of training is exact and
systematic in his habits, never bungling or

Referring TO the belief that Americans enjoy
the best form OF government on EARTH Mrs.
Coad declared that it equally true that
municipal government in the great cities Is
the worst ever known in civilized country.

OF our great city lawgivers are the heroes OF
the low dives and foul barrooms who do a
thriving business in selling their votes to the
highest bidder. Our city officials are creatures
of these city fathers from the slums and are
worthy of their paternity. Occasionally, the
better class of citizens have a spasm OF indig-
nation and rise to throw off their chains and
overthrow these harpies, who only laugh and
bide their time, which they know will soon
como again.
