We call attention to an article ap-
pearing in ourcolumns this afternoon
IN which the writer makes am earnest
appeal TO the young men Of this CITY
TO turn out and help Il. = Chew Camn.
Sons of Confederate Veterans. No
pecuniary assistance is asked or ex-
pected, but it is perfectly natural
and proper that those Interested in
this camp should look to the sons OF
veterans here. and there are numbers
OF them, TO encourage and aid the
organization by becoming members.
and by lending their aid 80 its Oh
lects and purposes. These purposes
are too well-knOwn to need review
here, but suffice it TO say that no
where else in the South is it more ap-
proprlate or proper to keep in -four
fishing condition such camp. We
sincerely and earnestly trust thar
the article referred to will touch a re-
sponsive chord in the hearts OF those
sons OF gallant fathers who still
make fredericksburg their home.
and we look for the installation a
new life and new energy into r. :.
Chew Camp.

While the discussion Of race sui
eide" goes on in the older sections Of
the country, South Dakota is pointing
with considerable and pardonable pride
TO its high birth rate and longevity.
AZ all events. this rich and prosperous
young commonwealth is not Worrying
about depopulation.
Without counting immigration. its
population is increasing faster than al
most anywhere else in the country.
and an abundant tide OF immigra ton,
both from other states and from Eu-
rope, is coming in at the same time.
The chief difficulty seems to he in
keeping enough schools open to ac-
commodate all the children ambitious
for an education. Ii is said that even
II there were schoolhouses enough to
go around the teachers are almost Ger
tain TO get married very PROMPTLY.
and the instruction comes to an end.
Cndeniably South Dakota is n bless
ell land where many are born and
few die, and there is room as well as
provender for all The birth rate is mt
at BIS to the thousand population.
while of that number of people only

year. In fact, the commonwealth livcs
up so closely to one OF President
Roosevelts favorite ideas that he
should feel especially keen delight in
visiting South Dakota on his present
