VITAL STATISTICS.

On the first Of July, the new law
relating to the collection and placing
on record of vital statistics goes into
effect. Before that time, every phy.
sician, midwife, sexton, justice OF the
peace and pastor in the state should
secure from the county clerk the nee.
essary blanks on which the law re-
quires that reports shall be made.
1t is worth calling attention to the
fact that heavy penalties are provid-
ed for the violation of this law, and
that those who seek to plead ignor-
ance will not because Of this escape
the penalty.
In common with many other states,
South Dakota has always been very
negligent in the keeping of records,
A marriage record has long been re-
quired, but in many counties this law
has not been enforced. In other
words, pastors have failed to make
the proper return to the clerk, and
the clerks have not seen to it that
the record was completed. No regis
try of births and deaths was required.
This is young state Of small popu
lation and so far the imperfect re-
cords have not been source of
much annoyance. Were the slipshod
policy of the past pursued, however,
the time would come when serious
embarrassment would result. Every
marriage, every birth and every
death must hereafter be officially re-
corded so that one hundred years
from now the records can be appeal
ed to to settle questions of inheri
tance and other property rights. The
matter is one of high Importance,
and not merely bit of red tape, as
some think it; and furthermore the
law must be, and will be enforced to
the letter.
The clerk of the courts in each
county is equipped with the necessa-
ry blanks, and those charged with
responsibility in the matter should
see to it that they are supplied with
out delay.

The railroad rate question is a
tempest in teapot upon which pol
iticians may successfully get Office.
The people will get no benefit from
this rate commission as prominent
railroad official recently remarked to
us, "The more restrictive laws that
are passed in regard to railroads, the
more necessary it will be for the
railroads to own the officials whose
duty il will be to enforce them, and
the railroads have been pretty success
full in getting what they want from
all parties" That is just what's the
matter. The people will get no re-
lief from unjust rates unless they
own the roads or at least build few
transcontinental lines TO com pete

ocrat.
There is one simple and effective
remedy Put the primary system of
nominations in force aud thereby do
away with machine rule in the state
conventions. The people are honest
enough and intelligent enough to
conduct their own affairs. When
the railroads want to own the officials
they never go to the people direct,
but to machine politicians who lay
the plans and make the nominations
long before the farce of state con
vention is held.

FAME FOR SOUTH DAKoTAN.

Prof. j. M. Aldrich of the Univer-
sity of Idaho has published book
on North American Diptera (two
winged fies) which is creating quite
stir among scientific men who ap-
preciate the magnitude of the work,
says the Brookings Press. The book
contains $50 pages, and is the result
of fifteen years labor by Prof AL
drich. The volume mentions 1897
species OF flies, and embraces every
variety known in North America
from the Isthmus of Panama north.
1t has the distinction of being the
largest catalog ever published on any
insect. The book is published by the
Smithsonian Institute, which sends
l,l00 copies to libraries on its ex-
change list, including many foreign
institutions, the remainder OF
the books being placed on the mark
es. K iscensidered q distinction in
the scientific world to have book
published by the institution and Prof
Aldrich was especially honored
since there was no hesitancy in &C
cepting his work.
Prof. Aldrich is graduate of the
South Dakota agricultural college,
and held the chair Of entomology at
that institution prior to going to Mes
COW, Idaho, to accept the position
which he has now held for more than
a dozen years. He has many friends
among our citizens and the alumni
Of the college who will be gratified
to hear Of his success.

A MINISTER in Indiana is being criti-
scised by his congregation because he
fuses an automobile in his pastoral
4rk. Since it is not question of
soundness of doctrine, it seems al
most an impertinance for members
to meddle with ministers private
afTairs. But then then it it will will be recalled
that ministers were criticised for
using the bicycle. And ministers
criticise other people for the way
they do things, too.

The Investigation at Chicago
shows that the strike from beginning
to end, has been case of "dog eat
dog" Certain employers paid S3O,.
Ap000 to the labor leaders to bring
on the strike. Great chunks of sym
pathy have been wasted on the busi-
ness interests suffering from the
strike. The employers aud labor
leaders ought to go to the pen, every
one concerned in the affair.

GRAIN RATES REDUCED.
Kansas Railroad Commissioners 5 Per
Cent Transit Privilege.

Tokeka, Dec. 16.-After a brief con
sultation the railroad commissioners
rendered a decision in the grain rate
case, ordering a 5 per cent reduction
on all freight rates in the state, effec
tive January Is.
This is equivalent to per cent
reduction in the gross receipts of the
Kansas roads, as grain shipments
make up about 40 per cent of their
gross tonnage. The reduction affects
rates on wheat, corn. oats, barley and
rye.
Commissioner Wheatley favored a
Is per cent reduction, but Chairman
Robinson claimed this was too radical
and the members finally agreed upon
per cent The railroads now
threaten to take out the milling in
transit rate. This has been con
strued by the courts as privilege
which the roads cannot be compelled
to give, but which they have given OF
their own accord in the past.

Is Disease q Crime :?

The writer asserted, In substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain It Is, that much OF the sickness
and suffering OF mankind Is due to the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But to say that all sickness should be

wrong.

cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,

and burdens, and suffers from weak

Decline of Matrimony.

DR.. Printing of Berlin writing in the

clares that it is not true that the pro-
portion of old maids and bachelors is
increasing in European countries.
One is perpetually told by writer's,
especially those representing the ad-
vanced women movement. that mar
riage is decreasing and that unmar-
ried persons are relatively increasing.
AS a matter of fact. this is only the
case.>in Sweden, France and Ireland.
In Germany the number of bachelors
steadily decreases, and only in certain
limited aceas can any increase of old
maids be certified.
