CARNEGIE LIBRARY.
Prospects for Handsome LII
brary Building for
Mjlhank

At a meeting of the city council last
night large deleg ration of citizens
came before the council and supported
the petition of the ladies of the library
association in request for an addi.
tional appropriation of 84O0 for the
maintenance of public library, pro.
vided suitable building IS erected.
Much enthusiasm and q unanimous
sentiment was expressed in favor Of
the project.
Mrs. w. B. Saunders, president OF
the library association, has for some
time been in correspondence with An
drew Carnegie in respect to securing a
public library building for the city,
and it was necessary to secure the u.s.
ual pledge Of the city authorities to
properly maintain the same. After
the unanimous desire of those present
had been given, Mayor Bouck and the
members of the council gave their ap-
proval to the project and expressed
their Willingness to make the appro-
priation and to donate the lot on
which the present library building is
loca ated for the site. This will be a
fine thing for the city, and we sincere
~ hope the project may be carried
through to successful end.

E@ MILBANK S. D., FRIDAY, APRIL I, 1906

The Review last week after a long
! continued silence gets upon the fence
and straddles both sides of the mayor
ality question. The paper says tha at it
| believes the people are competent to
decide the question, and that Mr..
Roberts is very fine gentleman and
"a good business man, all of which we
subscribe to, but the fact remains that
, the men who have had charge of the
Important business enterprise in
which the city has embarked, and who
are acquainted with the details of that
business, have conducted it thus far
and are familiar with the contracts and
work are OF necessity more competent
to carry 1t to successful issue than
would any new set of men totally
unacqu tainted with what has been
done in the half completed task on
hand. 1t is not a question of Mr..
Roberts or Mr.. Bouck or any other
man being a good fellow or popular
citizen, but it is question of good
business policy. Can the tax payers
and property owners of Milbank
afford to make leap in the dark and
put into the hands of new set OF men
the business of finishing up the work
OF installing the water system and
sewerage which they entrusted to the
present Officers-while the work is vet
but half completed.
In justice to the present officers, who
it is generally conceded have labored
faithfully and untiringly, and who
have done good work for the city, it
should not be done.
In justice to the taxpayers and prop
erty owners of the city, whose money
is being put into this enterprise, it
should not be done.
by common consent the good busi-
ness sense of the people of Milbank
should demand that the present city
council carry forward the work that
they have inaugurated, and then be
held responsible for it's satisfactory
completion. Anything less than this
would be foolish childs play with the
business interests of the city.
The editor of the Review may think
lightly of the matter, as it will not
bother him when out in the genial
climate of the Pacific coast. but to
those of " who expect to live and die
In Milbank, and who have what little
we possess of worldly store bound
up in the prosperity of the city, it
may not be a matter of so little impor-
tance.

A elarlna Inconsistency.

Is 1t is one of the glazing inconsister.
ccs of the United States government
that those to whom God has intrust.
ed the highest ideals. the noblest and
quickest perceptions of right and
wrong, are deprived of the right to
bring these influences to bear upon
the Nations welfare. The govern.
ment is supposed to represent the
wishes of those governed, yet over
one.half the American citizens are
denied anyway of making their SEN
tlments known In regard to matters
of the government. Men talk OF wo-
mans sphere-and the uplifting and
refining influence of the home, yet

Every hand should be free to do
It's best work. The hand of woman
is held by the actual People gener-
ally believe that the actual conditions
are the only possible, not the ideal.
This is not true; the ideal is just as
possible as the actual, but it is hard
for the hand Of woman to break away
from the grasp of the actual and take
hold of the hand of the ideal. The
dead, cold hand of antiquity also Is
handicap to woman's progress.
It does not trouble me so much that
there is the eternal injustice of wo.

y. NEW, YORK, Jan. 20 1T was the
first time i had boxed with President
Roosevelt since he was governor
said Mike Donovan, the old time
boxer, when he returned yesterday
from Washington, where he boxed
with the President for an hour every
afternoon for four days. III any ON one
tells you he's an easy mark, don't be.
lieve It. We boxed every afternoon
from five thirty until nearly half past
six in his study. The President wore
pair Of riding trousers, a slight un.
iershirtt and pair OF canvass shoes.
"'Don't mind hitting me, he said
right at the start OFF. I want you to
hit me as often as You can, and don't
mind how hard, either We started
oil in good fashion, and every time
we hit each other he laughed good
naturally. It was not any tapping,
will tell you. They were good, hon.
est blows, Of the sort that you would
not run into knowingly. We had
seven ounce gloves. He is a fighter
and knows how to give and take
blows. He doesn't try to knock a
man out, but he does like to know
that he has hit him.
He kept me busy, and I was not
running into any Of his blows either
Don't get the idea that I was there
TO teach him, not by any means. He
is a veteran boxer and can hold his
own with the best of them in the
clubs. | know few men who box reg
uiarly in the athletic clubs who can
worst him.
Every day while we boxed some
one came in and watched. His boy
Theodore was always there with his
two cousins, football players, and
several times men came in to talk
with him on business while he was
boxing.
