The department has been taking up
many sound municipal loans the past
year, but out of the total amount
loaned for that period more than half
a million dollars was on farm property
that class of loans always taking up
a larger part of the fund than all
others combined. The sum Of $5S,65O
was loaned to school districts, $37 ,45O
to municipalities and $4,000 to coun-
ties for last year
Faull1 county took the required cash
from the school fund for the erection
Of its new court house; municipal
loans were made in the counties of
Codington, DAILY, Grant, Gregory, Ham
lin, Hyde and Moody, and school dis
trict bonds, running from 5000 in
Stanley to S11,600 in Hamlin county,
were made during the year.
For the first time in the history of
the state every county now holds in
vestments of the permanent school
fund. Stanley never asked for any of
the fund previous to the past year, but
in organizing it's school districts it is
finding place for the cash. At no
time within the past year has the
permanent fund been allowed to accu-
mulate, and it has all been kept busy
drawing the income which helps re-
duce local taxation in the school dis
tricts of the state
1t is the hope of Commissioner Bach
that he can bring this fund for dis
tribution up to half million dollars
for this, his last year in the Office.

you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gem
erative organs in woman is SO close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blnes,
sleeplessness and nervous irritabiiity
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected. SO
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal
region and between the shoulders;
loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia; q
tendency to cry at the least provoca-
tion-all these point to nervous pros
tration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 1903 Flatbush
Avenue, BROOKLYN, N. Y, writes:
"I cannot express the wonderful relief /

hams Vegetable Compound. 1 suffered for
long time with nervous prostration, back

Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.

Will not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of it's virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick, weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as
,, other women.

Road Building as a Business.

No one denies that to build a good
house requires the services of a GOOD
architect. The same is true Of roaC4
building. To build a good road, re-
quires the services of a man skilled in
the work, and skill is never acquired
by merely reading a theory, it must be
obtained by actual experience. A col
tege training in road building may not
be necessary TO make a good road
builder, but such an education equips
him with a knowledge which Don
or later will more than pay for the ex-
ira time spent in it's requirements

branch by itself, and it is rapidly be-
coming recognized as such. Today
there is a greater demand for The

Popular Election of Senators.

Representative John Sharp Will
liams leader of the democrats in the
lower house of congress, has issued a
signed statement advocating the cleo
ton Of United States senators by pop
ular vote. Mr.. Williams, who is him.
self soon to become a senatorial AN
didate, says there are two ways in
which a constitutional amendment
may be submitted to the people. One
is when two-thirds of each house
agree to it, and the other is by three
fourths of the states voting for the
amendment in a convention called for
the purpose. The first method. he
says will never be adopted owing to
the opposition of the senate, and as
TOR the latter, Mr.. Williams says:
The public is as good a judge as l."
1t is somewhat surprising to see 50
tevel-headed a statesman as Mr.. Will
iams in favor of such an innovation,
but b doubt which he throws upon
its realization in a way ~compensates
for the disappointment i%nvolved.--

KANSAS AWAKENING.

Kansas has at last awakened to the
Importance of the necessity OF =epa-
rating the children of the two races
in the public schools. When Kansas
realizes the fact that there should
not be social equality in the matter
of education Of the children of the
two races we may have some hope for
the balance of the country. 1t is a
surprise to learn that the two lead
ing cities in that state have taken
steps to have ~senarate schools for the
two races in the future. Following the
example Of Kansas City. Wichita. the
next largest city in the state. has
just taken action on the question aid
will yote g bond issue for the DIR
pose Of building school houses. in
which the children of the two races
will be separately educated. This is
a remarkable piece of news. OF all
in the union Kansas is the last
which we thought would take :his
step. We had no idea that the people
of Kansas knew that there was any
difference between a Caucasian and a
negro; much less did we think that
they would admit to the world
that there was any difference If they
had learned such to be the fact.

White and Colored Gonvicts.

The Board of Charities seems to
have parked up the wrong tree when
they reported to the governor that in
many counties the white and negro
convicts were sleeping together. Most
Of the counties that have reported
on the matter admit that they sleep
in the sane tent or house, but that
there is a division of the two races
although in some cases it is only an
imaginary line. AS to their working
together there seems to be no occas-
ion for an uproar for many men work
beside negroes in trades and as labor
ers and the ~convicts are not sent to
the road for pleasure. The point we
wish to make is that convicts should
not expect to be treated like guests,
and should not complain of little things
like this when honorable men are do
ing the same thing. Let them wor

ROOSEVELT'S TENDER FEELINGS.

We r told that the senate is get
ting tired of the Moroccan question.
1t would be more accurate, perhaps,
to say that the senate is getting tired
of bucking against the nan in the
White house. Mr.. Roosevelt, it seems,
is in fact the dictator Of the Ameri-
can republic. The people are sup
posed to rule, but they don't, by a
long shot. The senate used to be one
of the chief bulwarks of the people
against Entertainments of the execu,
tive. The senate stood for states
rights and the sovereignty of the
states forming the federal union. The
senator's represented the states. They
stood against Capitalization of power.
So long as the individual states were
represented in the upper branch Of
the federal congress it was felt that
there could be no great outrage done
individual independence of the states,
But it seems that of late the senate
has been the creature of the presi-
dent. 1t seems to know nothing be-
yond the bidding Of the president. He
tramples upon the rights and preroga-
tives of that body as we'll as upon the
constitutional rights of the people
which that body is supposed to guard,
and not a word is said in protest. The
president ignores the senate in mat
ters which the constitution says it
has equal powers with himself. He
acts Independently Of hat body in
cases where the constitution says he
a act only by and with it's advice
and consent, and when a feeble voice
is raised in protest against the arbi-
trary and unconstitutional action of
the president it is hushed by the
declaration Of some White house Off
cial that it would be notifying to
the president to have the senate re-
fuse to ratify anything that he had
done. When ever before did the con-
stitution and the laws of the country
to give way because of fear of
hurting the feelings of the president
if his violation of the same vas call
ed to the attention of the country by
those whose sworn duty is to see that
such is not done? 1t is a pretty cone
to pass when the whole country has
to stand aside and allow the presi-
dent to violate the laws and the con
stitution of the country and his oath
of Office because of fear that the pres.
feelings will be hurt should
public attention be called too rudely
to the fact that he had committed acts
which in the ease of some other pres
idents might have been made the basis
of action for impeachment. A man
whose feelings are so tender has no
business taking part in politics.

he was tired of the sound of his own
voice, even If he did not know that the
public was tired of it. There may be
some excuse for his not being aware
of the latter fact, but we should think
