posed of delegates from every con

There was a splendid array of
presidential candidates before the st.
Louis convention, supported by loyal
friends and ardent admirers. An IN
usually large number of men were
placed in nomination for the greatly
coveted honor. You were chosen
with such enthusiasm as foretells sue
cess. Having, on the only ballot re-
ceived the two-thirds majority indis-
pensable by democratic usage, your
nomination was made unanimous with
the heartiest approval of your illustri-
Gus competitors. Absolute acQuiescence
in the decisions of the majority, the
vital principle of republics has ever
been a cardinal tenet of democracy; and
the signs of the times indicate that you
will be supported at the polls by the
democratic hosts with the same unan-
unity with which you were nominated.
1.-The most marked characteristics OF
the bulk of the American people are
reverence for the constitution and
obedience to law. Your long and
conspicuous career as a jurist in one
of the highest courts in the world
the period which you have spent in
studying and expounding constitutions
and statutes-causes your country
men to believe that into the exalted
executive office to which they are
about to call you, you will carry that
profound respect for the constitution
and the law which with you has be
come a confirmed mental habit and
upon which depends the perpetuity of
our system of government-the best
ever devised by the wit of mana
made us the most puissant nation on
the whole face of the earth. To pre-
serve it in its integrity and its full
vigor is the high mission of the demo-
cratic party whose head you have now
become. Into your hands the democ-
abiding faith in your courage, your
integrity, your honor, your capacity
and your patriotism, believing that
under your leadership we will achieve
signal victory, that your administra
ton will be such a fortunate, such a
happy era in our annals as to mark the
beginning of long period of demo-
cratic ascendency, and that you will
so discharge your duties as to. rank in
history as one of the greatest and best
beloved of American presidents"

Former superintendent Pleads
for More Attention to
School Matters

10 the Public
| 1t may not be presumptious nor out
OF order for me to place before you q
few thoughts bearing on the educa-
tlonal question in Milbank. Some
things can be said with better effect
now than they could if the admins
tratlon OF last year were to continue,
for no one can now say that my sug-
gestions have any personal element
| in them.
Milbank is splendid, busy we'll
meaning little city, it intends to be
and DO the right thing, in the right
time and way, but as every man has
his own livlihood to manage and
watch, public affairs are too often
allowed to take care of themselves.
Mllbank, is nevertheless behind the
times, in some directions. She is also
directions. She is behind in that she
is attempting to educate 400 school
children under conditions and with an
.. equipment that makes even good work
impossible. At least three of the
school rooms should be condemned
from the standpoints of ventilation.
light, and play ground. 1t may not
| cost the health of more than one child
to live in the atmosphere of these
rooms: it may not cost more than one
pair OF eyes to study six hours day
for nine months year in bad light;
1t may not cost more than one manned
| or killed child to have three grades
playing in the streets; but if that child
happens to be yours or mine we would
think certainly that the city had paid
| fearful price for its economy. It
may not cause more than one boy or
girl in the high school to miss his or
her real calling that the instruction
is given with very inferior equipment,
but if that boy or girl were yours,
you would pay fearful price to save
the city little money in equipment.
The fact that the fuel bill last year
alone was $75S, is an evidence that to
continue the use of the present build
ings is false economy. To my per-
sonal knowledge, no fuel was wasted,
and every economy was practiced to
make ends meet.
An adequate school building, with
heat, light and pure air, is essential,
and should be the watchword for next
year, by every man woman and child.
Some say it cannot be done now. It
can be, however, if the will is right.
If the teachers push this piece of pro-
gress, do not think their motive is
simply to have fine place for them
selves, for the motive will spring from
the positive aesds, of yoar children.
Another lame spot is the fact that
parents do not make much effort to
see their children at work in school.
Aid the teacher next year by your
frequent presence at school.
You have an excellent corps of
tRQOh0rS Make fhnir offnrtc off ooti
by little practical encouragement,
which can only be given between the
hours of 8 q. m. and p. m. at the
school house and in person.
Personally, l am leaving much in
Milbank that shall miss. My stay
of five years, two of which were in
school, were very pleasant and profit
able, and have an ambition to have
the city away in the lead.
Respectfully
M. M. RAMER.

D. McGlachlin in Aberdeen News:
"Black rust is caused by the sun
shining hot on wheat which has been
wet with dew and on which the wind
has not blown to dry it. The effect
of the hot sun is to cause an enormous
number of minute checks or splits in
the outer surface of the stalk.
Through these minute appearances
the sap oozes out instead of being
drawn up into the head to fill the
wheat kernels. The stalk is weakened
and the head dries up, the sap which
has exuded drying dark colored and
forming what is known as the black
rust"

ell is purely vegetable pill that

tiful structure absolutely free of

it, while the Pierre people will
