After the passage of the pure food
bill by congress there is little need
for us mortals to eat anything inn
pure. 1t was a great thing accom-
plished when the oil was adopted,
and 1T was aided In it's passage by
the action already taken by several
states, among which South Dakota
was one. There is a possibility that
these pure foods will come higher
than the adulterated articles, but
anyway a person will have the salts
faction Of knowing that they are
getting what they pay for. a great
many people prefer the a%dnlterated
foods, and they will have the same
opportunity Of buying just what they
want, so that both elements will be
satisfied. We doubt if the pure food
law will affect the sale very much
Of the a~dulterated and unadulterated
articles.

Some fifteen or eighteen years ago
a railroad project was started and agi-
tated to some extent for building a
line from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico, which had the backing OF a
farmer element. but after some
work was accomplished in congress
the subject was dropped. 1t has just
been revived in South Dakota by the
Incorporation OF a company at Pierre
known as the Canadian Southern
railroad and the American Construc-
ton company, which is capitalized
for $4,000, 600 for the former COM
pany and $50, 600, 600 for the latter.
Now that the company has been re-
yived there is much speculation as
TO what will result FROM it.

1T will cost the saloon keepers in
Chicago something to run their bust

great fight has been on to raise the
license OF the saloon from $500 to
$1,000, the object being two fold
one vas to create a larger fund
With which to employ additional po-
lice, and the second was to close out
hundreds of the low d%oggeries in the
disreputable part uf the city, where
crime finds it's home. Undtr the

THINGS EDUCATIONAL.
BY Z. j. QUIGLEN
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

A circular letter from the patriot
lc instructor of the e.. A. r.. las at
his request, been sent to each Of our
teachers. Our school law requires
the teaching of patriotism and this
circular will aid the teacher in this
work. Nearly all our schools own a
good hag aud the directions for it's
use in our manual should be followed.
Section 1858 OF the school law.
Moral instruction intended to i'm
press upon the mind of pupils tile
Importance of truthfulness. temper
ance, purity, public spirit, patriotism
and respect for honest labor, obed-
ience to parents, and due Difference
for old age, shall be given by every
teacher in the public service in the
state. Teachers should obey this law
and strive by preoept and example
to make it effective.
No pains should be spared in in
shilling into the hearts Of our chill
dren the love or country. With all
it's faults, this country offers super
Tor advantages for securing life,
liberty and the pursuit of h%aplness.n
Nowhere else in the wide world can
be ound so great encouragement for
youth. In time of war the patriot
gives his life, if need be, to save his
country. LIN time OF peace he sup
ports those public measures winch
strengthen the government, aud sees
to it that his own personal life exem-
.plihes the highest citizenship. The
free public school can be sustained il
it produces good citizens, if it fails
In this it is unjust and %ineXcusabl
and powerful as our nation is
the millennium is not yet upon us We
are Struggling upward through
threatening evil, towards a purer life
with d we'll grounded hope Of ulti-
mate success. The public school
reaches more Of u youth than all
other means combined. 1t follows
then that the character and influence
of the teacher and all school exer-
cises should be active agents in
building up the highest citizenship
possible.

this feature he said.
