Special to The Journal.
Sioux Fall, S. D., Nov. g. The first
round i'll the fight between the South
Dakota Central railroad company and
the Milwaukee railroad company, IN
volving the use by the South Dakota
Central of former right -of-way Of
the Milwaukee company, and the con-
struction of the South Dakota Central
into the heart Of the business district
of Sioux Falls, where the independent
line is desirous Of making a connec-
tion with the tracks of the Illinois Gem
trail, has resulted in victory for the
South Dakota Central.
The South Dakota Central recently
placed force Of graders at work on
right -of-way which in 1879 was
granted to the Milwaukee company, but
which it was alleged was abandoned by
the company more than twenty years
ago. The Milwaukee sought to re-
strain the South Dakota Central from
using the old right-of-way, and Judge
Garland ordered that the restraining
order previously granted be vacated.
This will lsenable the South Dakota Cen
trail to resume the work of extending
its line into the city over the disputed

the convention with much strength.
Those are Lord, Jacobson and Block.
While Lord is a good man, I do not be-
lieve his attitude will bring him the sup
port of many delegates outside his own
section, unless he adopts different tactics
and becomes aggressive. Jacobson, If he
enters the field, will have a strong fol-
lowing, but there are corporation inter-
estS In the state that will leave no stone
unturned to keep him out Of the nomina-
ton. They hate and fear him, and to
defeat him they would turn to the man
who exhibits the largest positive
strength. That man is likely to be Block,
and for that reason he looks to me at this
time to be strong possibility. AS to
whether he can beat Johnson, l would
not like to predict" -........s.
The Block men make an ingenious ar
gument to demonstrate why he would be
a strong candidate against Johnson. They
say that the German voters have never
had governor, and would be so pleased
with the recognition that they would vote
for Block almost solidly. The troubles
in the Scandinavian peninsula have
stirred up more feeling than usual, and if
a Norwegian were nominated the SWed-
ish vote would go almost solidly to john
son. The nomination of a Swedish re-
publican on the other hand, would alien
L
ton of a German would not offend any
other element.
This argument is not entirely convinc
ing. Nationality considera tions are les.
Influential than they used to- sbe. Block 5
opponents say that the German vote Is
not cohesive, and cannot be! delivered to
| any one, SO that there is no more reason
for nominating a German than a man OF
native American ancestry.
The second generation iS not very
strong on nationality sympathies and
prejudices, as rule, and the second gen.
GRAFTON is largely in evidence now, even
among our leading statesmen. Governor
Johnson was born in Minnesota, and
Julius Block in Ohio.
| Congressman Buckman was in st. Pau
on business yesterday. He did not have
much to say about the sixth district stu
alton and will not admit that his nomina-
tionais in serious danger. :.,

A Fortunate Defeat.

Republicans who put good govern !
ment above party considerations WILL
not grieve over the Ohio result. Her
rick's defeat is likely to prove most
salutary. 1t is rebuke and vote OF
no confidence in the bosses that sur
round Herrick, bosses Of both the
Hanna and Foraker factions. 1t should
shake the hold which the machine has
on the republican party Of the state,
and bring the best elements to- the front
again. There was not much to choose
between the old factions, but in the
days when they were fighting bitterly
for supremacy they were at least able
to win elections. Now that they have
made common cause, they suffer a
crushing defeat, and we have a clear
illustration of what the people of Ohio
think of bossism.
Cox seems to have been the mill
stone about Herrick g neck. Ohio could
stand for Foraker and even for Dick,
but the moral sense Of the state was
shocked at the governors open alliance
with Cincinnati g Croker, who says
sSthere's only one that divides here.'
The taint of the brewery interests was
too strong, and the temperance people
of the state went solidly for Pattison
and not only elected him, but a demo-
cratic legislature. Fortunately, no SEN
ator is to be elected by this legislature,
and there is time for the republicans Of
the state to rehabilitate themselves be-
fore Foraker's term expires in 1908.
This is the last off-year election Ohio
will sees .Pattison and the other state
officers chosen will hold for three years,
and hereafter Ohio will only vote in the
even-numbered years, as Minnesota
does, and as Iowa recently voted to do.
President Roosevelt is reported as
. president might be altogether friendly
E to Herrick personally, but down deep
he will probably rejoice at the result
which condemns Foraker and his oppo
sition to railroad-rate legislation, and
probably forecasts the elimination OF
the "bloody- senator. Secretary
7 Taft. like the president, will probably
deplore a republican defeat, but it il
the best thing that could have hap
pened Tor Che rOtund statesman s preSl
Dental ambitions. It clears the way
for him beautifully, and if new Leaders
and new ideas come into control of thu
republican party of Ohio, as they seen
sure to do after this repudiation O.
the old ones, they will be men ane
ideas of the Roosevelt and the Tat
stamp. - ~ r. $f~ 2a@
For the true welfare Of ,republicanisn
in Ohio, such a defeat is better than
dozen victories.

Russia's Calendar.

Evidence that the world does move
is shown in the report that the Rus
slams will take advantage of the fact
that they are to have new deal in
government by putting themselves in
line with the western world in the
matter Of the calendar. The Russian
empire is today using the calendar de-
visedg by Julius Cesar, while the west
ern world uses that of Pope Gregory,
promulgated in 1882. Then it required
the dropping Of ten days to correct
the calendar. Today it will require the
dropping of twelve days from the Rus
sian. calendar to make it agree with
ours.
The advantages to be gained by the
change are appreciable. Russia is a
commercial nation and has relations
with many others. Her time is reck-
oned differently from ours. Her dates
are all different and confusion occurs
in business engagements where people
fail to add or subtract the necessary
rumber of days.
One of the most interesting exercises
of the human mind has been the max.
ing of CALENDARS: The. Greeks, the
Egyptians, the Romans and the mod
erns have all had chance at it, and
have each arrived at different re-
suit. The Egyptian year, consisted OF
twelve months Of thirty days eacn
with five unallotted days at the end. Il
was a quarter Of day short, so the
beginning of the year was constantly
changing, and in 1,460 years the
beginning was where the end had been
The Egyptian was therefore called the
Ewandering year. The Greeks had {
year made up of twelve months u
thirty. and twenty-nine days alterna5
ing. This made their year nine days
short, which was made up by throw
iEg in an extra month once in eigh
years. ~.,a. -
y The Romans gave us our nomencla
ture Of months, but did not divid
their month into weeks. This we ge
from the Hebrews. The Julian calen
dar was based on a rather careful cal
culatior of the return of the sprin,
equinox. The Julian calendar, how
eyer, was found to be. long eleven min
utes, or a day in about 130 years. Pop
Gregory corrected this error, but no
1 exactly. The year still overruns a few
seconds. enough to make a year il
about $500 years, but in times Of gen
eral prosperity nobody worries abou
that. ~

years because Of the control Of her
theaters by a purely commercial trust.
The trust does not care whether a play
is moral or uplifting, or even proper,
if it pays. But New York is gradually
getting out Of the clutches Of this dol
lar combination. The public is demand
ing better service, and other men
than the members of the trust are pre-
pairing to give it. Hence, with the as
sistance of the literary and critical de-
partment Of the police force, We may
expect that the plays sent us from
New York will be of better grade.

ADJUSTMENTS
Foyer Chat.

Largely increased attendance marked
both the matinee and evening perform
ances of ''The School Girl'' at the Metro
politan yesterday. The weeks engage
ment will prove highly successful.
ON the Bishops Carriage the Chan
ming Pollock dramatization of Miriam Mi
chelsons successful book, which comes to
the Metropolitan all next week beginning
Monday evening, presents some innova-
tions. The strongest: scenes are. the at
tempted robbery in Latimer's rooms at
midnight and the big triangular scene
when Tom Dorgan and Latimer meet at
Nance's rooms and quarrel for her love,
which she gives to Latimer, when she
has been shocked by Toms brutality and
humiliated by his bargaining spirit. A
minor character and one quite unique is
that of Latimer's mother, a very ad-
vanced type of mother, withal an attrac-
tive gentewoman, who pleads with her
son to forget Nances past and have faith
in her present and future.

Securing Fame in the West.

Miss Elizabeth N. Barr, former
Putnam county girl, and who for
short time did special work on the
News, is now a student in Washburn
college, Topeka, Kansas.
Miss Barr is giving her attention
largely to literary work and is
member of the Kansas Authors club.
The Topeka Capital of a recent date
speaks of her as IA young lady of
decided literary talent, y and in the
same number gives space to the fol-
lowing poem written by her and read
at a recent meeting of the club.
Commenting on this poem the Capt.
tai states that sit indicates that To-
peka is perhaps to add another star
to the many she has contributed to
literature" The poem is entitled
''The Song of The Toilers, and is as
follows:
| love to work, because | love to see
The mellow earth turned to the
balmy air
/ love to see the field all loose and
smooth
And SOW the seeds of future har-
vest there.
love to work because / love to see
The green blades spring unhin-
dered toward the sun
The thrifty stalk embarrassed by the
tare
And watch the silk of tender ears
begun.
l love to work, because l love to see
The waving tassels and the gol-
den grain.
And know the joy of reaping my re-
And thank the Lord of Harvest for
the gain.
But o, the faith of those whom Fate
hath formed
To brave the ways the weaker dare
not go!
They drop the seeds all watered with
their tears,
But never, see the harvest that
they sow.
We hear their voices in the wilder
ness
Prepare the way, and mellow up
the sod.
They cast their portion on the latent
soil
Their dauntless trust in onc All
seeing God.
With prophet eyes they've pierced
the mist of years
With toiling hands they've mould
ed destiny
Their works arise above the COM
mon plane
Like coral islands on the pathless
