or has the right to insist that his water
supply be not decreased, and the indus
try as whole, the foundation stone Of
our national prosperity. commands and

possible for the Government to afford
Irrigation for the arid West can not be
successful unless the headwaters Of all
streams are kept under ample forest
cover.
Reserves are for use not for ornament.
They are not private forest parks, but
are open TO all persons without distinc-
tion. Free transit across them is always
allowed. Pleasure or health seekers and
hunting parties are privileged to enter
them at all times and enjoy their re-
sources to the fullest legal extent. The
most important injunction laid on them
is that the greatest care must be taken
to extinguish all camp fires, since FIRE is
the worst scourge of the forest, and of all
its enemies the most dreaded.
The temporary withdrawal of lands
pending careful inspection to deter
mine their suitability for permanent
reserves affects seriously no private
right other than that of entry as settler
upon some claim. No entry can be
made after such temporary withdrawal.
If lands settled upon are finally included
in the permanent boundaries, the rights
of the owners are as has been set forth.
If such lands are excluded from the
boundaries, their status has not been af.
fected, except as it is improved by being
so near a forest that will now be pro-
tected and managed for the general vel
fare. The whole theory of reserve prac.
tice is, special injury or advantage to
none, but the greatest good to the great
est number.

The Good old way.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe is
like Are, the sooner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it.
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to give

such as would be administered by their
grandmothers, backed by Boschee's Ger
man Syrup, which was always literally
used in connection with the home treat
ment of colds and is still in greater house
hold favor than any known remedy. But
even without the application of the old
fashioned aids German Syrup will cure
severe cold in quick time. 1t will cure
colds in children or grown people. 1t

The Primary System.

Undoubtedly an effort will be made
this winter to pass a primary election
law similar to the one adopted in Wis.
consin. The Argus Leader believes that
the legislature will do we'll to make
haste slowly. Before such a law is
adopted in South Dakota it will be we'll
TO demonstrate that the present system
is unfair in theory or operation, that
its nominations do not fairly represent
the will of the voters, that it tends to
give the party managers power to thwart
the will of the rank and file. Secondly
the legislature should satisfy itself that
the proposed law will apply an efficient
remedy aud without introducing other
evils as great or greater. Thirdly the
actual operation Of the proposed law in
other states should be thoroughly test
ed. South Dakota should not change
her electoral system until, it is clearly
shown that the change is for the better.
When that is shown all fair minded
people will favor it. And they are in
the great majority. 1t is no argument
in favor Of measure to say that certain
men or classes are. opposed to it. Even
a hated and unpopular machine might
oppose a measure from praiseworthy
methods The fact that most Of the Of
ficials and recognized leaders of the re-
publican party in this state oppose the
adoption of the law does not even
raise a presumption that such a law
would benefit the people at large or
would assist the political aspirations of
those who advocate it.
The reiterated cry that the law should
be passed because 'the machine" doesn't
want it is altogether illogical and in the
Argus-Leader's Judgment does not bring
it vote. If the law is a necessity to
good government it sponsors should be
able to show it. If they can demonstrate
these three points we haYe no doubt
that the legislature will pass the bill.
But if advocates confne themselves
merely to denouncing 'the machine" to
personal vituperation, We believe
their shrift will be short, and should
be.
And yet doubtless primary bill
should be passed. There are certain
evils in the presentsystem which should
be eliminated. The Argus-Leader be-
lieves it would work for fair caucuses if
those of all parties we're called for the
same night, if the da;e were specified in
the statute, if not one were allowed to
vote in a caucus who had not voted the
party ticket at the last preceding
election, if the vote were required to be
by ballot and the polls held open for say
one hour.
These reforms would prevent any
danger of packing caucuses, of holding
them without due notice or of having
the nominations of one party controlled
by the voters of another. This would
remove all the evils of which We have
heard complaint.
But in our judgment the system of
direct nominations has not yet been
shown to be advantageous. Until it is
we believe that the members of the leg
islature will do well to refuse to foist it
it upon us-Argus Leader.
