Bonding Local Lodge Officers.

John Powers of this city, agent for
the United States Fidelity and
Guarantee Company of Baltimore,
has lust secured a schedule bond for
the Order of Home Guardians. bond
ding the offices of secretary and
treasurer in their local lodges. The
popularity of a schedule bond is that
1t bends the Office. not the man in it,,
SO that it is continuous. in spite of
change Of officers. Besides the an
nual premium on this bond, addi-
tional premium will be paid as new
lodges are added to the list. This
class Of bond is used by nearly all the
fraternal orders, and insures the
members against loss by %defalcation
of officers.
This is a safe plan adopted by the
Home Guardians, for it relieves the
local officers from imposing upon
their friends in signing their bonds
and it creates a safety for the indi-
yidual members Of the order. This
is only another evidence of the care

making its insurance good beyond

by its members beyond all question.

that the state capital is sort of a
real estae commodity-that it must
be left at Pierre in order to act as a
louestone to ATTRACT settlers thither.
Well, the capital has been there for
fourteen years and the development
has been almighty slow = in fact
there has been non at all. If there
was anything in a possible success of
agriculture on the reservation it
would have been apparent long be-
fore this. The range has been there
for years and if the people wanted
any of 1T they would have gone there
without much solicitation on the
part OF the boomers. If the country
out there is worth anything at all
the people will move there without
the capital at Pierre, and to attract
the people to the reservation simply
because the capital is adjacent and
then have a succession of crop fail
ures would be the worst thing that
could happen to the state, for in
stead OF n portion being blamed
for crop shortage the whole state
would receive the black eye.

President Roosevelt took occasion
to send a letter of personal thanks
to Postmaster General Payne for the
success which had come to his efforts
IN prosecuting and convicting the
men who were engaged in defraud-
ing the government. A pertinent
sentence in the presidents letter is
as follows: 1.-The success of the
prosecutions of these cases, as COM
pared with previous experiences in
prosecuting government officials who
have been guilty Of malfeasance or
%misfeasance, is as noteworthy as it
is gratifying, and must be a source
of encouragement to all men who be-
lieve in decency and honesty in pub
lie life.n An official of the govern
ment of today who violates the law
can now expect to be- dealt with
summarily with President Roosevelt
at the helm.

Postoffice Box Rent.

/ have been advised by the post

necessary for patrons who have rent
ed boxes to keep them locked here

their letters taken out. The postal
department is responsible for all

Since the burning of the state cap
tiol building at Madison, Wis, can
didates are s%pringing up in various
parts of the state wanting the cap
ital located elsewhere. This will be
quite a shock to the Pierre adher-
ents in this state to think that an
old settled state like Wisconsin would
dream Of moving the state capital.
By removing the capital from Mad
ison would it be a reflection on that
part Of the state and lead the people
to believe thai the land was no good?
