After An interesting ii rather one

comprehensive and, in the main, weil-
considered Hepburn railroad bill WIKI

outcome was, Of course, fore-shadoW ed

upon the measure, and the discussion
therefore excited less attention than
that which preceded the adoption, last
year, OF the Esch Townsend bill, whose
educational value should not be for

With due respect for the ability aud
independence OF Messrs. McCalla and Lit
tie field, whose speeches in opposition
tothe the Hepburn measure were vig-
orOus and earnest, 1t cannot be said
that their criticisms revealed serious
detects therein. 1t is not true that it
confers on the commission the power
to initiate rates, or that it goes farsbe-
yond The Presidents explicit recon.

bill shows that the constitutional OBJ
jectiOns to its predecessors especially
those based on the danger OF mixture
Of governmental functions had been
taken into due consideration. 1t also
shows that the intention was TO deal
with The evils OF the present wholly
unsatisfactory condition and insure
actual relief, instead of empty orders"
and vain, barren inquiries and find

STATE HIGH SCHOOL CONTESTS AT
YANkTON.

AT Yankton, May III and IL next. nm
der the auspices of Yankton college,
win occur the fourth annual stale con-
tests in athletics and defamation.
The purpose OF this meet" is outlined
in the program AS follows: The pnr-
pose OF Offering these contests Is to
promote pure athletic sports, to en-
courage public speaking, to give an OPP
portnnity to the high school students
OF the state to become better acquaint-
ed and to make possible the organiza-
ton OF high school athletics.
YaDkton is we'll equipped for such q
contest, having an excellent gymna-
stun and athletic park, good track
andlroomy grand sta6d, and, further
more, is easily reached by railroad. A
rate of fare and a third is guaranteed
on all railroads, and entertainment
may be secured at any of the hotels, in
private families, or boarding houses, at
a great reductiont With such induce
ments as the above, it would seem
that Elk Point should have large rep
resentation both in the athletic and
Ia the orato-ical contests. Tyndall, a
town OF the same or less population than
our own city. took the lead in the
totals the first year, bearing on 81
points. and standing second the next
year with q points. No citizen would
cOncede that the boys OF Tyndall are
in any way superior to our own high
school boys, yet Elk Point has never
been represented at these contests.
Any bona fide student In South Dako-
ia high school is eligible. Why can
not our boys go into training immedi-
ately, and enter for some If not all of
these events? Loyalty TO ones tows
might come under the definition OF
and in what better way
could patriotism be inculcated than by
taking part in this contest? AS there
are no charges for entries, which close
one week before the first day of the
contests, we see no ground for not
seizing this opportunity
The girls are not debarred from TAX
ing place on the program at this
time, for we notice that five of the six
prizes awarded for defamation have
been given to the girls OF the various
high schools. With the talent we have
in our midst, entering this Contest
would necessisate preliminary CON
test, for ''only one student from The
same school may compete in the con
test In defamation.
Teachers aud pupils, GO into This
with the same enthusiasm which won
the Victory at basket bali over Yer
and bring home as many gold
and silver medals, Dennauts and BAN
ners as possible. and the boys and girls
OF larger growth will be glad TO join 10
