Greater Prosperity In 1903.

The keen observers of the business
outlook see no signs of hard times
James R. Keene predicts that the
prosperity of 1903 will be equal to
that of any of the three preceding
years. He bases his predictions on
the crops of the season, especially on
the corn crop, which is now being
moved in large volume, and on the
market for manufactured products.
Russell Sage is equally confident.
Business" he says, lis good every
where, manufacturers are making
money, the farmer has had a prosper
Gus season and can market his prod
,ucts at increased prices, the manufac-
turer is finding ready market for
his goods and the railroads are show
ing constant increases in their earn
ings. The country is growing greater
every year, and it will take no step
backward in 1903"
The banks are in sound condition,
and the want of currency will no
doubt disappear when the vast
amounts of dividends and interest are
scattered among the people. The bust
ness Of the country has become very
great, and more and more currency is
needed to handle it. Barring this
trouble and the lacks OF cars and mo-
tive power on the railroads, not a
sign appears anywhere indicating bust
ness retrogression in the new year.

Probably no symphony orchestra will

Army canteen,

Opponents of the army 'canteen are
fond of calling attention to the fact that
our warships have for some years man.
aged to get along fairly well without
any such institution and of asking why
the army officers cannot control their
men as well as their brethren In the
navy" remarked an old soldier.
THE people who do this utterly ignore.
Of course, the wide difference between
conditions ahoat and conditions ashore,
and their argument has no weight what
ever with those who have even a little
knowledge of the nature of that differ
ence. 1t behooves all who think that the
navy has lost nothing under the work
ings of the law which stopped the sale
of all intoxicants on government reser-
vatiens to read with care the statements
of naval officers on which was based the
dcr artments recent decision 60 send no
more warships to the Puget sound navy
yard until the local authorities at Bre-
merton, the town In which 1t is situated,
take steps to protect the Jackies on shore
leave from the very perils that have
proved so disastrous to the private SOL
diers.
I'm response to the inquiries of AS
sistant Secretary Darling. Rear Admiral
Yates Sterling instituted a careful In
vestigation at Bremerton, and reported
that since the abolition of the canteen
in the navy yard reservation there had
been a remarkable increase in the num-
Der of low dives In its neighborhood, and
TO their existence he attributed a part Of
the excuses in which the men had in
duiged. Lieut.. B. p. Hull, who COM
mands -the marine barracks at the yard,
expressed the opinion that nothing would
do so much to remedy the existing abuses
at Bremerton as the re-establishment OF
the post canteen, with an amusement
hall and gymnasium. With the law as it
is, all the department could do was to
boycott the yard, so far as possible, until
the town authorities realize that 1t Ia
their interest to suppress the dives. That
is an inconvenient and humiliating ex-
pediene. and the anti-canteeners ought to
mediate upon it thoughtfuliy."

Crawford tor Governor.

On Friday evening last. before
a packed opera house in Huron,
Hon. Coe /. Crawford an
nounced himself as a candidate
for the republican nomination
for Governor. This was ex-
pected by those conversant with
state politics. Allfall MIR Craw-
ford has been solicited by his
friends to become a candidate.
He finally consented and took
this method of announcing him
self, after having notified the
c. & N. w. Ry. that he would
resign as the Co. attorney for
South Dakota.
Mr.. Crawford is a clean, able
man, popular with all classes,
a brilliant speaker, and a sue
cessful attorney. He has served
in the legislature and
in the attorney generals Office;
he is a good mixer, a hard cam
paigner, and always a party
worker. His nomination and
election would be pleasure TO
many friends in Hand County,
where he has spoken and
practiced law for the last twenty
years. Mr. Crawford's selection
as Governor would be a credit to
his party and to the state.
