Does any one think that South
Dakota will not improve in years
to come as it has in years paste
The people of the north part Of the
state are now clamoring for the
opening of the Cheyenne reserva-
ton and the prospect of opening a
good sized area of the Rosebud is
now certain. People are going to
settle in this country. The Black
Hillsis developing faster than any
other given portion of the state.
The center of population in this
state is now in Beadle county. Is
it going to recede and 90 back to-
wards Iowa! Hardly. Pierre is
now seventy miles nearer the CEN
ter of population of the state than
it was when the permanent capital
was located at Pierre. Every
year brings it nearer. There is
just as much country west of
Pierre in South Dakota, as there
is east of it. South Dakota is q
great state.

500 Elected

The above is the news that the
New Voice brings this week of the
spring elections in Pennsylvania.
1t gives force to the latest evolu-
ton of the Prohibition question.
In that state the purity has de-
clared in their state platform that
their object is no longer to stop
the drinking by absolute prohi-
bition and constitutional amend
ments to that effect, but that their
object is the repeal of all liquor
license and tax laws.
This makes the logic of the stu
alton to be, first, that the saloon is
the source and fountain head of all
political corruption and, second,
that no citizen ought to give his
vote to a party which believes in
maintaining the saloon.
Other political questions there
are, but the greatest menace to our
free institutions is the saloon.
''Three cheers and a tiger" for
our brave Pennsylvania comrades!

Hon. Coe l. Crawford sends us a
copy Of his Huron speech announc-
ing himself as q candidate for
governor, with a lengthy circular
further defining his views. The
position of Mr.. Crawford is not
quite up to Prohibition principles.
In his speech he says:
ssThere is no issue between my
self and the [Rep.] party organiza-
tion."
The Republican state organiza-
tion is popularity supposed to be
organized in the interest of the
corporations which Mr. Crawford
|denOunces.
This is a hasty comment, and
may perhaps be an injustice to Mr.
Crawford.
We have not seen any state

question. But he cannot very

The Crystal Call gives us. an extended
account Of the saving OF Washingtop's
home at Mount Vernon by the Mt. Yer
non Ladies' Aid Association. The ac-
count goes on 10 tell how they secured
contributions from all over the United
States and that thousands of the school
tchildren added their pennies to the sum
until the grounds were purchased. About
a year ago one of these same school
children, somewhat older grown, paid a
quarter for admission to these sacred
grounds and for that week there had
been an attendance of from 1900 to
70, 900 people every day, and each paid
the same price for admission. OF course
that was special occasion, it being at
the G. A. R. encampment, but there are
many such occasions each year'in Wash
ington, and at all times many sight-seers,
so the annual revenue of the association
must be quite fgure-and the thing a
pretty good speculation-considering the
fact that it was purchased by patriotic
contribution.

nation. Probably no other man possess.
ed the individual strength as politician
and statesman welded by the dead sem

credit for honesty of purpose and fine

but the men who worked for him and
who helped him gain his riches, were his
best friends, because he was friend to
them. AS party leader he will be more
missed than any other. In the most re-
