A LESSON IN PATRIOTISM.

AT a farewell banquet given to
John Mitchell on the eve of his
departure for Europe things were
said and done that went far to illus
trate the solidarity of interest that
must exist between employer and
employe in any progress that is last
ing, or any prosperity that is real.
That solidarity is based on loyalty
to America, on fealty in citizenship.
Mr.. Mitchell said that when he could
not be a loyal American citizen and
at the same time belong to a trade
union he should choose American
citizenship. That should be key
note in all relations. When any
combination in restraint of trade or
for unrighteous purpose is proposed
it's relation to loyal American citi-
zenship ought to be the question
that should test membership. Such
a test runs to the whole question of
patriotism, in which is wrapped the
welfare Of the country. When any
people are more welded to their
personal or class interests than to
the interests of the commonwealth,
then patriotism is at a discount, and
what Is everybody's concern becomes
nobody's concern. - Indianapolis
News.

ease is SO rapidly carrying of the
susceptible that there will be no vic
Tins a generation hence. Such the
cries are merely speculative guess
work. What we know is that sana-
toria and regulation have in Ger
many and England saved thousands
of lives that would otherwise have
been sacrificed. That is the practl-
cal fact and, taken in connection
with that other flaming truth that
tuberculosis is responsible for a sew
enth of all deaths and claims more
victims than any other disease, it
points to the need of a more general
adoption of more ration methods OF
protection and a more general war
this destroyer.-St. Paul Pioneer

THE SOUTH

The South Dakotan is a fair man
He likes a square deal and stands
by his contract. When Pierre won
the capital after two hard fights the
state implicitly contracted to make
that town the permanent capital. As
a guarantee of good faith the state
accepted from the people of Pierre
valuable lands and buildings as free
gifts. The people of Pierre had a
right to rely upon it and have vested
rights under it. To remove the cap
ital without the consent of the peo-
pie of Pierre is a violation of con-
tract. 1t is a proposition in bad
faith. The South Dakotan is not a
contract breaker. The South Dako-
tan is a fair an.-C Canton News.

girls. Between modern notions OF
female independence and self-suf-
iciency, and the correlative decline
of male tenderness and chivalry,
women are losing their immemorial
birthright of protection against
bestial lust. Ovcr-confident parents
are too careless of their children.
Liberty-loving girls are too thought
less for themselves. Men are losing
sight Of the primal duty of shield
ing all women as tenderly as their
own. The whole standards Of society
are growing perilously loose.
What are young women doing in
lonely streets after 10 o'clock at
night? What is the home care of
school girls who can be lured to fol
low strange menY The women now
are brave in innocent love of liberty
their grandmothers would have
Stunned as pestilence. The girls
are exposed to the worst fate by
the innocence of their years and the
loss of the constant guardianship
that alone can shield it. The par
ents are infected by general decay
of the conventional safeguards built
up by race experience for protection
of women and girls.
More is at stake in this matter
than female innocence, a if that
we're not enough. The foundations
of law and order are at stake. Moral
anarchy breeds social anarchy.
Nothing breaks down the safeguards
of law against the human passion of
revenge like continued outrage upon
women. If it is the duty of the law
to check the storm of human passion
by furnishing these outrages, it is
the duty of the community to keep
it from temptation bytaking thought
to prevent them.-Minneapolis Tri-
bune.

PROPHETS OF EVIL.

In a letter to the editor of the
Madison Leader, Z. w. Caldwell
who is nov in charge of the Pierre
capital campaign. in writing of the
early days in the Dakotas, says;
ave remember the time when the
Sioux valley looked upon the jim
valley much as Mitchell now pre-,
tends to look upon the country west
of the Missouri. Our experience
has led us to know that it won't take
many years to record here such
progress as the eastern half of the
state has e up to this time"
And hat is one trouble with the
Mitchell campaign. The advocates
of that city for the capital are using
the same arguments that have done
duty against various portions of
South Dakota, or the state as a whole,
ever since early territorial days. At
first the people living in other por-
tions of the United States pronounced
the whole Territory of Dakota as
unfit for farming purposes. Posi-
bly,, they admitted, portions of it
might make excellent grazing lands,
but as a whole it was more fitted for
the use of the red mar and the buff
falo han for a home for the white
man. Then a few adventurous indi-
viduals ventured across the borders
of Dakota and after experimenting
cautiously in the southeastern part
of the territory, found the soil to be
rich and the climate such that as
good crops could be raised there as
anywhere else in the United States.
But these pioneers assured those
who came later that the only good
farming lands in the state was in the
Sioux valley. Later other venture
some pioneers settled in the James
River valley and found it to be
as productive as the valley
Of the Sioux. Since then the home
'teaders have been pushing north
ward and westward, ever encounter
ng the same objections and ever dis
the wisdom of the prophets
If evil, until today there are few
Who r SO lacking in foresight and
state pride as to deride any Sec
ion OF the state, except the Mitchell
and their action is die
'ated by selfish purposes solely

following fashion: "The editor has

ton to deliver an Grafton at Clare

he was obliged to pass up on account
of a surgical operation he recently
underwent. At that time Pierre

A PLEA FOR CARE OF GIRLS

The universal sympathy for the
victims of unspeakable outrages
upon women is too deep for words.
The general newspaper and police
conspiracy Of silence as to details is
worthy Of all praise. If the law does
its work, there will be no need for
discussion. If it does not, the SEN
sational loving public will have some
thing more exciting to talk about
before long. Yet something remains
70 be said for protection Of women
and girls still unscathed. Tender
ness for the few innocent who have
suffered need not exclude thought
fulness' Tor the many innocent who
may suffer. Share in the grief of
the stricken parents need not exclude
warning to many more parents to
shield their dearest from like fate.
The law win do its part 10 punish
and deter, or the public viii know
the reason why. But the public has
- work 70 do to prevent that for
which there i no remedy and no
adequate punishment. Like most

were against all competitors. On
every other score be was unobjec-
tionable. And the boss rule nomi-
mated him, not becauseit loved him,
or could control him, but because he
was the only man who could save it
from defeat. Any other of "the
field against Crawford" would have
pleased the boss better, but the logic
of events forced the choice-Elrod,
or Crawford. 1t is not quite a pin
head" brain that could grasp the
situation and force his enemies to
come to him.

PUBLICITY AND EPIDEMICS.

1t would seem that the criminal
folly of attempts to suppress knowl-
edge of the presence in a community
of epidemics of any kind had been
sufficiently demonstrated by this
time for health officers to have
learned the Importance of frankness.
The most conspicuous recent Illus
tration of the futility of attempts to
hide the truth was afforded by the
efforts of the state health authorities
in California a year OF two ago to
suppress the fact that the bubonic
plague had found its way into San
Francisco. The natural result of
the endeavor to enforce a policy of
silence was to assist in the spead of
the disease and to create a situation
that caused half of the newspapers
in the country to advertise the fact
that the plague was in California.
Another illustration was in Ithica,
N. Y, where instead of letting it be
known that typhoid was alarmingly
prevalent and increasing rapidly,
the health authorities tried to keep
it out of the papers. The conse-
quence was that very few took the
necessary precautionary measures
and one of the worst epidemics of
recent times got under full Roadway.
Yet even these two severe lessons
we're evidently lost on the president
of the Indianapolis board of health,
who has been in the habit of giving
out only enough of the facts to
arouse no suspicious. In one case
in the present epidemic of typhoid
he was found to have reported
recently only five cases in a week
when the returns showed one humid
red cases. As the indianapolis
Journal justly says: "It is only
when people know that a disease has
become epidemic that they have real
cause to be alarmed that they will
take measures to protect themselves.
Fright will not create typhoid fever,
but it may lead to such a general
attention to the drinking water as
to check the spread of the malady."
Moreover, experience has shown
that il is cheaper for the business
community to have a little local
publicity at first and a few cases,
than no publicity at first, a heavy
epidemic and the facts advertised
from one end Of the country to the
other. Suppression of news of
incipient epidemics by health auth
critics amounts to manslaughter and
has not even the poor excuse Of
being "good for business. "-St. Paul
Pioneer Press.
