Americans Love Their Newspapers.
From, tba Rostop Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
From away out at Calgary. in the north
west territories Of Canada. into which we
are informed that Americans from our
northwest are pouring in one continuous
stream, comes an admission-a newspaper
admisson-which will be read with inter-
est and pleasure by the friends these Amer
lean settlers have left behind them under
the Stars and Stripes in Nebraska, Iowa
and Minnesota. The admission comes in
the form of a complaint from the Calgary
Herald that "in Calgary and other western
Canadian cities the newspapers OF Chicago,
New York and Minneapolis are found in
greater numbers than those Of Eastern
Canada"-that is than the newspapers OF
Toronto. Ottawa. Montreal, Halifax and st.
John.
This preference for American newspapers
may be disappointing and a little dtscour-
aging to the Calgary Herald. But Is II
not natural? The Americans who are In
northwest Canada are there because land
is cheap; and because they consider that IN
their particular lines Of enterprise-mostly
farming and stock-raising-there are more
than in the states from which
they have emigrated. Back of ALL too,
there is the inherent love OF the Anglo
Saxon for movement and change; for push
ing into new and untred fields, and meet
ing new experiences. These Americans on
the other side Of the boundary line, in the
northwest will undoubtedly make good sub

same qualities as the men who settled our
own western states. and these qualities will
come into play whether they are under the
British or American flag. and will help to
build up the new country on good lines and
on an enduring basis. 1t Is however, no
dispara cement to these newcomers in the
Canadian northwest to say that they still
cherish the institutions of the country
which they left; and among these institu-
tions-and especially among those which
can be practically cherished and carried
along-is that great institution. the Ameri-
can newspaper.

Use of Collective Nouns.

From the London Chronicle.
Is a crowd, q body OF men, a corporation.
singular or plural? In many newspaper Of
fees there is a custom of the house that
erjoins the singular or else the plural verb
70 the noun OF multitude. No such rule can
apply universally, we think and from bis
letter to the Times on Fiscal Policy" Mr..
Arthur Elliot. NJ p. for Durham. seems to
agree with US. For he writes: The govern
ment have proposed scheme
and Immediately afterward THE govern
ment, its own sole authority
Now, Mr.. Elliot, though he may not have
thought about the matter may be quite
right in both cases.
There is no cast-iron grammatical rule,
but only common sense. And the French.
with their beautiful logic, have reached the
expression of that common sense. IL you
speak of the crowd, the corporation, as a
unit, 1t Is singular. Thus the crowd be-
&C mes unmanageable" (for each individual
could be easily dealt With. But this for
tuitous collection of bewildered gentlemen
cannot make their own convictions into q
coherent policy would be correct II those
gentlemen were regarded az individuals
with divergent views. And perhaps. Mr..
Arthur Elliot meant somsthinG q IL hind.

Them they were simply distasteful to him.
and he found 1t difficult to conceal his
aversion.
Naturally she adored them. Her pet was
a toy French poodle, equipped in the most
approved and foolish fashion. He was
called Spot by his mistress on account Of
his little black nose. which poked out
through his otherwise snowy body.
In addition to dogs she also loved Shake

tation rose to her tongue.
One Saturday evening he called as usual.
He endured the pup with as good q grace

said:

Babies Mixed ON Bargain Day.

From the Boston Herald.
It was bargain day on 9th avenue, New
York, and twenty baby carriages, all prop
erly checked. were ranged up in front OF a
department store while the mothers were
inside buying things they didn't need. Sud
denly a baby at one end of the line stood
up, toppled over against the next carriage.
and in a moment all the carriages went
over like ninepins. sending the kids sprawl
ing about the sidewalk. It took a long
time to identify them, for an attendant had
put them back Unfortunately, and they
were not checked like their perambula tors
This thrilling incident shows that the only
sure way to avoid similar catastrophies
would be to brand each child with num-
Der and hang corresponding number
round the mothers neck, like a bath room
key.

Street Crime Problem In Paris.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
There is nothing western or even AmeH-
can about the hold-up industry. 1t has
been cultivated assiduously even In bril-
liant gay Paris. and it Is quite interesting
to note the many similarities between the
situation in the French capital in that re-
spect and the present state Of things In tho
great city of western America. In Paris
the hold-ups, pickpockets and street GRIM
inals generally are called Apaches-a clever
journalist having applied that designation
to them and the public having perpetuated
it-and the Apache problem" Is claiming
a good deal Of the attention Of the police.
the city fathers and the press. The boule-
wards the heart of Paris" are no longer
what they used to be, owing to the ubiquity
and the merchants Of the most famous
streets have presented a strong petition TO
the council asking for more efficient police
protection.

country goes about its holidays SO system

Korea's Future,

From the Journal Of the Society Of Arts.
The constant growth Of the trade Of
Korea is somewhat remarkable in view Of
the unfavorable internal conditions Of the
country. and is to be explained only by a
consideration of the comparatively large
and but partially developed resources Of
the country. 1t Is safe to assume that at
the conclusion OF the present hostilities
greater development awaits her. and fur

Modern Excursionists.
rom the Railway Times.


A striking Indication of the change which
has been brought about by improved facili-
ties for modern excursion traffic Is the fact
that these trains are patronized by class
of people who a few years ago would have
secuted the idea of cheap travel. Today
the people who avail themselves Of excur-
sions are such as tend to raise the tone
of a resort rather than to deteriorate 1t. -

NOTIFYING OF DATES
Other Towns i'll State Notified o
the Dates of MitcheIl's Corn
Palace for 1905.

President Gale proposes to see that
other towns do not get hold of the
same dates Of Mitchell's corr palace
for this year and has directed in
formation along this line to the Sec
Rotary OF public enterprises of this
character at Sioux Falls, Huron, Alb
erdeen, Yankton and Sioux City.
Mitchell's dates for the corr palace

On Moneys and Credits.

Vermillion Republican: The ques-
tion Of the assessing OF moneys and
credits, which for some time has
been an absorbing question with as
sessment officials and boards. has re-
ceived a decision in Judge Smiths
court in the first circuit. Some time
ago the county commissioners of Clay
county attempted to assess a large
number OF mortgages that were on
record in this county. The list was
a large one and contained many
mortgages of several thousand dollars
each. Those affected resisted pay
ment and Joined issues in the case,
and to make a test Of the matter G..
T. Salmer OF this city took an appeal
from the action Of the county COM
missioners to the circuit court at the
fall term. The case was heard by
Judge Smith in this city on Deem
Der 30, last. Attorneys .Tilton ..and
Dillon handled the case for the COM
missione1s and Dean Thomas Sterl-
ing appeared for Mr.. Salmer. The
arguments over, Judge Smith took
the matter under Amusement, and
last Saturday rendered his decision
which is a victory for the mortgages.
The argument advanced by Dean
Sterling was to the effect that under
the law as it now exists the com-
missioners have no power to levy as
sessments on moneys and credits
where the assessor or town board has
returned no assessment on same. The
old law gave the commissioners the
power, hut it was rescinded in 1903,
or, rather, amended in a way to make
the town board or assessor respons
IDLE for the assessments. In his de.
cisiOn, Judge Smith practically de-
clares the law as amended by the leg
islature of 1903 unconstitutional, in
that it contains more subjects than

BISHOPS VISIT TO MITCHELL
Hare, of Episcopal Diocese,
Paid His Annual Visit to
Mitchell Monday.

Monday evening services we're held
at the Episcopal church, in which
Bishop Hare paid his annual visit to
the church, Rev. Chas. Fl. Powell,
the former priest-in-charge, took his
farewell, and Rev. E. w. Green, the
newly appointed president of the con-
|%gregation, was also present. There
was a fair attendance Of the mem
bers and friends of the church to
listen to the interesting exercises
of the evening.
Bishop Hare delivered one Of his
interesting talks, his theme being the
explanation Of the baptism of the
church and which explains the way
in which the Christian should walk.
The discourse was interesting and
was characteristic OF the venerable
bishop.
At the close OF his sermon he took
occasion to refer to the departure
of Rev. Chas. Fl. Powell, who has
been in charge of the church for
neatly two years, who leaves for
Colusa, CAL, to take up the same
kind Of work. He regretted his
departure very much, but wis he'd
him, with the members Of the con-
gregation, God-speed and Success in
his new home. The bishop also took
the opportunity to announce that
Rev. e. w. Green, who has been
sent here as an assistant to the
pastor of the church to oficiate at
Wocnsocket and Chamberlain, would
hereafter supply the Mitchell church
also, devoting three services each
month here. Mr.. Green has but re-
Gently entered the Episcopal work,
coming from the Dutch Reformed
church, and for the present his title
will be president OF the congregation.
At the end OF SIX months he will be
given the rites Of the church.
a collection was taken up which
is to apply on the bishops salary for
tie coming year. For the past 81
years not a church in South Dakota
has eve contributed to the bishops
salary, it having all been paid by the
board in the east. Last year the
bishop talked the matter over with
the churches in the state and they
agreed to make up $500 OF his salary,
which relieves the mission board Of
that much. In closing his talk for
the evening the bishop touched in
cidentally upon local matters to urge
the members Of the church to re-
spond more to the demands Of the
church and put it on a higher basis.
He felt that there was a splendid
opportunity to increase the men,
bership and make the church grow.
Two persons were confirmed at a
private service held Tuesday norm
ing. owing to the absence of one of
the parties.

ATTACKING THE SELF TRUST

st. Lotus Giobe-Democrat: At
Iorney General Moody's strong pre-
Sentaton OF the governments case
against the beef trust shows that
President Roosevelt is just as earnest
in his warfare against the combines
in 1905, after his election, as he was
in 1903 and 1904, previous to his NOM
ination. The only effect which his
election will have on him on this
issue will be to make him more ar
dent in his determination to bring
all the combines under proper gov
ernmental surveillance or to abolish
them altogether. This purpose is
made plain by the vigorous attack
which the attorney general is max
ing before the supreme court on the
beef trust.
Swift s. Co., which is the party d.
rectly assaulted by the governments
war on the beef combine, is a power
full corporation. 1t represents humid
reds Of millions Of dollars in this
suit, because all the packers in the
pool are standing : behind Swift.
But that combine is no stronger
financially or socially than the
Northern Securities company was
and Northern Securities went down
before the governments assault.
The same thing will take place in
the beef trust. In the warfare thus
far against that combine the govern
ment has shown it's determination
and the potency of Its cause, and
victory for it may be predicted in the
supreme court With the greatest con-
fidence.
Most Of the trusts were against
Roosevelt and the republican party
during the recent canvass. In the
overthrow Of the Northern Securities
company they read the fate of their
W combines just as soon as the
government could prepare its case.
j. j. Hill predicted many sorts Of
dire things and made many kinds of
threats because of the smashing Of
his Northern Securities pool. He
spent much money in the effort to
defeat the president in the conven-
tion and at the polls. His i'll fortune
in both projects soured him for the
time, but he has been compelled to
accept the situation. Swift & Co.
will have a like fate. The best le-
gal skill that money can buy is on
the side of the beef combine, but the
law and public opinion are on the
side of the government. The coming
victory for the government in its at
tack on the big pool managed by
Swift & Co. will be another tribute
to the courage and Intelligence OF
President Roosevelt, and furnish one
more reason why the country should
felicitate itself on the magnificent
triumph of the republican party at
the polls in 1904.
