before us
III is not capitalism that takes the
laborer by the throat" he continued,
but monopoly. Our railroad and light

government control If the complex

many spend their time in the saloons,
the children in the streets. while the

MONEY IN CORNERSTONES.
The Survival of an Older and More
Tragic Custom.

he practice OF putting money under
the foundation stone of new building
is the shadow of an older tragic GUS
tom. The money stands theoretically
for the ransom of the human being
who by ancient superstition should
have been buried in its place. Other
wise, it was held. the building would
not stand firm and endure
There was a time when this particu-
lar kind of human sacrifice had a
vogue extending to most parts of the
world. Even in England skeletons
have been found imbedded in the bases
of castle walls. and there is record of
one German fortress at the building of
which a child was bought from its
mother with hard cash and walled in
to the donjon tower. the unnatural
mother. according to the story, looking

ings are still used in some parts of

THE ESKIMO DOG.

shelter Bed.
The Eskimo dog from his birth to his
death. which in many instances is Il
violent one. never knows the luxury of
shelter or q bed. He spends his exist
ence outdoors and appears to be far
more comfortable in winter than in
summer The pups when hardly able
to toddle instinctively show an ambi-
ton to run With sleighs Ghey never
bark and join With their treble squeals
the enthusiastic chorus of howls with
which the Eskimo dog invariab bly,
greets the first fall of snow. The ambi-
ton of the young dogs is soon taken
advantage Of by the Eskinos.
The little fellows are hitched to sleds
in company with full grown dogs. and
to prevent them from being run over
they are tied by the neck to the tow
line. so that when the run starts oat
they are compelled to keen i:p or Ge

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.
How 1t Is Upheld by the Teaching
and Training II tnions.

In one sense liz, l.-hqi' unions believe
earnestly in the uiSnity Of labor and
IL another SENSE they do not.
They believe that no matter how
mental the work uo matter how dead
ennG, how monotouous or even how
filthy. the man Who performs it faith
fuly is deserving ii the praise and
Che thanks Of thr community and is
not paid in full Waoa lie receives his
t'aecS.
The unton!>;, tets t.iat i is not tAe
work itself. but - spirit III which th"
work is accepted and performed, thdt
ennobles the worker.
The unionist does not believe that
man was put upon this earth for no
better purpose than ceaseleSsly to push
a wire through little hole or endless
ly repeat the same simple, uniform
operation.
He believes. on the contrary, that
man should be as far as possible re
lleyed from work partaking of the
character of drudgery, but that such
work as is necessary should be per-
formed unhesitatinsly, uneomplaining-
ly and conSeientiously
The principal element which gives to
labor its dignity and ennobling quality
is its voluntary character. There is
nothing ennobling about the task of
the slave crouching beneath the lash.
There is nothing ennobling in the
work of the serf bowed down by the
weight Of centuries
There Is little of the dignity of labor
in the forced labor of the convict or of
the man toilins under the padrone sys-
TEN.
The greater the initiative and the
more complete the independence Of the
worker the greater the pleasure in his
work and the more educating and en-
nobling it becomes.
We cannot do without suborlnation;
we cannot carry on our great indus
tries without the subiection of the in
dvidual workman to the will which di-
rects the whole machinery.
When. however. the wage earners
have fixed upon fair and reasona BILE
working rules work becomes a pleas
ure and what was formerly q stern
duty becomes the JOY of achievement

The Chinese Question Looming Up

The Chinese Question Looming Up.
According to the following dispatch
from Washington there is strong possi-
bility that the American labor move
ment will soon have on its hands an
other fight on the question of the ad-
mission Of cody labor to the country:
'It transpires. despite the efforts Of
the administration to keep the grave
fact longer secret, that last December
the Imperial Chinese government for
mally denounced the existing treaty
With the United States and so the con
vention will expire by limitation Dec
{. This will be speedily followed by a
! new treaty, and that convention will
act as q repeal of the present exclusion
act in every respect wherein treaty
and statute may clash
while much reticence is Observed
as to the lines upon which the new
convention is being framed there is
reason to believe that it Will be more
liberal in the treatment of Chinese
wishing to enter the United States.
when they are not actually of the cody
class. than the existing treaty. There
may also be made provision for the en-
try of Chinese laborers into the Hana-
ma canal strip, though that is not GER
tain. An attempt has been made to
avail of this opportunity to make more
extensive use of Chinese labor in the
Philippines.

Ernest II. Crosby tells Of a factory
he inspected in America where the
manufacture Of cheap socks was car
ried on The manager showed him
400 machines that did the entire work
of making sock without the aid Of
human hand. The machines run TWEEN
ty-four hours in a day. and only fifty
boys are needed for all shifts. Five
thousand dozen of socks are made
daily. Under the old method this work
would have required $4,000 men.

THE ROSEBUD OPENING.
Facts in Regard to the Opening and
Advice as to Procedure.

Col. Hughes East, formerly re-
gister of the U. S. land office at
1ankton, and who participated
officially in the opening of the
lands in Oklahoma three years
ago, prepared the following art
icle in regard to the opening of
the Rosebud reservation for the
Yankton Press, Dakotian-Gazette:
The lands, embracing about b.
400 claims or quarter sections,
will be disposed of under the gen
eral provisions of the Homestead
laws, and any citizen of the Uni
ted States or territories who is 21
years of age, or head OF a family
under II Except married wcmen),
and who never had the benefit Of
homestead, and does not own
over 100 acres of land in his or
her own right. has a right to par
ticipate in the opening.
HOW TO PROCEED
Under the law opening these
lands to entry and in obedience to
the presidents's proclamation,
any citizen desiring to participate
in the drawing shall register at
Yankton, Chamberlain, Bonesteel
or Fairfax on July 5th to % inclu-
sive, where government officers
will be ii attendance with the Off
cial blanks. All persons regis
tered will be given a certificate
of registration, where upon they
can if desirable, return ito their
homes to await the drawing:
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1904-06-02


which will occur at Chamberlain,
beginning on the 28th of July.
AS the drawing proceeds each
person drawn will be given a
number, in the order in which
his name was drawn, and he will
be notified by card, of his number
and when he should appear at the
land Office to make his filing, and
in addition the result of the draw
ing by order of the president, will
be given to the press as it occurs.
So it will be observed that it is not
essential that one should do more
than simply register and then
await the notice of his good for
tune. When one registers he can
direct where his drawing card
shall be mailed. The cost of re-
Clustering is only Is cents and
that goes to the local officer who
makes out the necessary papers
and attaches his official seal. The
government charges nothing for
registration.
FItING AND THE COST.
Each entryman who has drawn
lucky number will be called at
Bonesteel, the filing place, in the
order dawn, to-wit; Nos. / to
100, August 8; 1O1 to 200, Au-
gust g; POI to 800, August 10,
and so on until the lands are alb
sorbed. Persons filing within
the first three months after the
opening will be required to pay
S4 per acre as follows: ST per acre
when fling is made; Is cents per
acre within two years; 75c within
years; 75c within four years and
75c within i've years, and IN addl-
ton s14 land office fees at time
of entry 1t will be noted from the
above that the cash cost will be
$3.50, plus S14, or S174.

The tract of land to be opened
to settlement lies nearly west Of
Yankton, just north of Nebraska.

SOLDIERS RIGHT TO REGISTER BY
AGENT
While any citizen in order to
register must appear in person, a
soldier or sailor of the civil or
Spanish wars can register thru
an agent and save the expense of
travel. He can, on application
here, procure the proper blanks
and also the name of a citizen
to insert, who will register for
him, but no citizen eau register
for more than one soldier.

Lands in Yan1Ston and adjoining
counties are now worth $50 to 500
per acre and it is fair to assume
that when these Rosebud lands
are improved and brought into
cultivation they will prove equally
valuable, and some of it is now
worth $50 to $40 per acre.
WHERE TO REGISTER.
Out of the entire number of
people who are expected to regis
ter, it is believed that more than
one-half will register in Yankton.
Why this belief? In the first
place it is more than twice as
large as all the other three places
put together. 1t has greater ac-
commodations for taking care of
crowd. It has three great rail-
ways, while either of the other
points has but one: The Great
Northern from the lakes, Duluth
and the Twin Cities terminates
here; the Northwestern from Chi
cago and all it's eastern connec-
tions comes to Yankton: the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road
comes directly through from Chi
cago and extends on toward the
northwest and branches from this
point west to Geddes and Platte,
Within twelve to fifteen miles of
the center of the reservation as it
touches the Missouri river.
