The true solution of the marriage
and divorce question lies with the
homes more than with the legisla.
lures. It is more a matter for edu.
cation and training than of legislation
The girl whose early education has
been gained on the street, whose
selfishness has been gratified at the
expense of her parents and whose
preparation for marriage has lacked
an acquaintance with the common
duties of the homekeeper is standing
candidate for the divorce court. The
young man who has grown up with
out responsibility who has wasted
his youth and pawned his manhood to
idle and absolute habits is another
The ministers who are asking the
state to prevent divorce and repress
marriage have their responsibility in
these cases, many of whom have been
of their flock and under their spiritual
supervision. The parents are mostly
responsible for the negligence and
mistaken kindness that units children
for the duties of life. Good fathers
usually train good husbands and good
mothers usually produce good wives.
Like prohibition, hesquestion Of mar
rage and divorce seems to rest more
upon the early training Of the indi-
vidual than with the law. Educate
not legislate, is the motto for the re-
former.

Digit School Begins.

The prison night school began
its fall session last Monday.
There are 161 pupils enrolled,
which is about the same as last
year. The school begins this
year with every promise of success,
and if the pupils display a will
ingness to learn, they will find a
hearty cooperation on the part of
the superintendent and teachers.
The opening night was devoted
principally to organizing the
classes, the distribution of books,
and the assigning of new teachers
to their duties.
There are the same number of
classes as heretofore and the cur
riculum is the same. The disci-
pline of the school is in charge Of
acting Deputy Warden Colllgan,
and Assistant Deputy Warden
Backland and a force of guards.

Twenty-o ne members of the
Pierian Circle responded to roll
call at the meeting of that body
last Sunday. After the disposition
of the routine business Of the day,
which included the circles APP
proval of two applications for men,
bership, the Critic requested that
he be excused from duty owing to
having had wreck wherein his
occular equipment had suffered
humiliation. The request was
granted, but the President, after
casting about in vain for critic
pro tenn, was forced to resort to
the services of Ye Secretary, who,
of course, was not supposed to be
allowed the privilege of refusing
to act.
The program was then proceeded
with, which consisted of, besides an
excellent piano solo, four papers,
the titles of which are as follow:
"The Land ofthe Southern Cross. ="
Capital and Labor" American
Travel to Europe" and "A Plea
for Sane Spelling" The last of
these was by far the best paper
read before the circle in many
months, and was highly appreciated
by all present.
At the next meeting, Sept. 3Oth,
the reports and election of officers
and the debating of the question,
Resolved, That Stenography
should not be classed with the
more lucrative vocations accessi-
bic to the average person'' will
be the principal features and full
attendance is expected.

THERE'S a heap of human nature
i In the best of us, guess,
Tho its cropping out occasions
Very often much distress,
For the brilliant and the foolish
Labor underneath its spell,
Which explains the genial CRATER
And some other things as well.
When gentleman who wouldn't
For the world his honor sell,
And bunch of easy money
Comes around to wish him well.
He is something of a wonder
If he doesn't compromise,
Pocketing the roll and saying
That it's just about his size
Yes, the dollars invitation
Soon as it is understood,
Is accepted, for the money
Unto most of US looks good,
And we never stop to wonder
If it may be tainted stuff.
But we shove it in our pocket
And look innocent enough.
1t is not that we are wicked.
That we reach out for the graft
AS drowning sailor reaches
For lifeboat or a raft;
1t is just the human nature
That is getting in its work
On the drummer and the statesman.
On the grocer and his clerk.

Economy.

In reading the biographies of
those who have helped to advance
our country to the exalted rank of
one of the leaders of the worlds
progressive nations, one notices
that there is strong similarity in
their early struggles with dame
fortune. This similarity is indi-
Gated in the manner in which they
practiced economy in order to en-
bark in business for themselves.
The great men of the past, and
those of the present, inva riably say
that they owed their success to the
''nest egg" which they accumu-
lated by laying bya small portion
of their wages.
The young man who can rightly
value the Importance of being
economical IN his expenditures
will, later on in life, become one of
the hierophants of the business
world-a Cecil Rhodes, Alfred
Belt, or Russell Sage. The small
change which many young men
squander Unfortunately for
pleasures that are feeting, should,
if carefully husbanded, become the
means of starting them in any bus
mess their talent may direct. But
if they are prodigal in their taste
and recklessly let their dimes and
quarters slip thru their fingers,
they will be in the unfortunate
condition in which Colonel Sell
lers found himself. He, it will be
remembered, had many brilliant
schemes in which there were mil
lions to be made, but he lacked
capital to exploit his ventures.
For young man there is no
greater handicap he can acquire
than that of living recklessly.
Stinginess, however, is as much
to be avoided as expensive habits.
A man can afford to be economical,
but he can not afford to be good
fellow to everybody. By practic-
ing system of economy he is
gradually lifting himself from the
hard drudgery of life to a position
of comparative independence. We
are all trying to escape becoming
a drudge. Few of us seek drudg-
cry from choice-most of US. how
ever, are driven to it by necessity.
Economy is one of the sterling
virtues that cannot be dispensed
with If we wish to round out sue
cessful career. 1t helps to make
life pleasant-not miserable; it
helps to bring the butcher, the
grocerman, and the baker to your
door each day-not poverty and
want; it helps one to attain his
ambition-not to bemoan his lost
opportunities; and, in short, econ
omy helps to pay your debts,
build comfortable home, and to
make you one of the solid men of
the community.
To refer to a man as being Geo.
nomical, is a high compliment; for
it is equivalent to saying that he
is honest. Economy is part of
every well-ordered business. The
young man who is saving his small
change is good man to trust in an
Office; for he will not be extrava-
CANT with the stationery, careless
in handling the books and
furniture, nor will he make az
many mistakes as the man who
has acquired expensive habits and
who is out half the night with
convivial friends.
We should never designate men
who are practicing economy as
skinfllnts or misers. They are
wiser than we imagine. When

The Treasury Department is
perfecting plans for the coinage Of
one hundred ounces of silver into
coin of the realm. It is estimated
that the government will more
than double its money in the ven-
ture. This is a new ''get-rich-

Uncle Sam are barred This
hardly seems equitable. What is

There has been a remarkable in
crease in railway earnings. The

returns for the first six months Of

per cent in gross earnings over
those of the corresponding months

These enlarged profits have precip-~
itated a reduction in passenger
rates, and in our state an inquiry
is being conducted as to the ad--
visibility of reducing freight rates
on grain, lumber and fuel.
October 18th is the date set for
the final substitution of electricity
for steam on the lines of the New

that many of us will live to see the
total elimination of steam as a mo-
tive agent on all our railways. A
company is now in process of in
cubation which plans to build an
all electric line from New York to
Chicago. 1t is already partially
financed and when completed, COM
petition will force all the remain
ing lines to adopt electricity as g.
motive power.
1t is said there is great influx

silk dress, white slippers and a.
bouquet of flowers, he says, and in
about half an hour look into the
Car again, and if she has gone to-
sleep on his shoulder, your guess
was correct. Seriously, however,
South Dakota is land of potential
possibilities, and the young man
with his new responsibilities can
not be blamed for seeking a home
where all are starting on the same
footing and where chances for sue
cess are better than in an older
