Senator Aldrich, chairman Of the
senate finance committee, who has
been fighting the free alcohol bill in
the interest of the Standard Oil Co.,
says that "while free alcohol might
be all right for the manufacturers l
DON'T SEE HOW CONGRESS COULD
AFFORD TO GIVE THIS COMMODITY TO
THE FARMERS FOR LIGHT, FUEL AND
POWER" How will the general public
feel about such a statement against
them. Every home has a gasoline
stove, a large proportion Of the small
manufacturers have gasoline engines
and it looks as though Mr.. Aldrich
would find he had proved a hornets
nest in this instance. The people
will be more sanguine than ever that
U. S. senators should be elected by
direct vote.

Carl Schurz

Since our boyhood days, prior to and
even when he went to the extreme in
the G%reenback campaign with Horace
Greeley, the writer has held Carl
Schurz in the highest esteem, because
of his outspoken and straightforward
dealings with public affairs. The
Minneapolis Journal so fully expresses
our sentiments regarding this honored
American citizen who passed from
this life on Monday that we quote the
following: Zone Of the busiest lives
of modern times has just ebbed out in
the last illness of Carl Schurz. None
of the adopted sons of America has
shown more capacity to grasp the
fundamentals of our political institu-
tons and none has contributed more
to their growth along healthy lines
than he. Coming to America a politi-
cal fugitive, who had lost his standing
in his native land through his devo-
ton to liberty, he plunged into the
politics of this country when the
slavery debate was coming to a head.
He began his political activities as a
German speaker, but soon began to
speak in English and was quickly
recognized as one of the most forceful
political orators in the country.
President Lincoln appointed him
minister to'Spain, but he resigned to
enter the army, in which he rose to
the rank of major general. After the
war he removed to Missouri, where he
became the publisher of a German
newspaper and where he was chosen
to the senate of the United States

Hobbies and Geometry.
A. F. Ninman.


Hobbies was not yet fifteen when he
went to Oxford. He did not much
rare for logic, yet he learned 1t and
thought himself a good disputant
There is no reason to think he learned
anything else at oxford save a strong
dislike of academic institutions and
methods. He turned from the Official
studies to amuse himself with geogra.
ply and voyages. AS to mathematics,
there was no official recognition OF
them at all while Hobbies was at the
university, so there is nothing improb.
able in the statement that Hobbies had
never opened a copy Of Euclid until he
was neal middle age. The story is best
told IN Aubrey's W words:
"He was forty years old when he
looked on geometry, which happened
accidentally. Being in a gentleman's
library, 'Euclid's Elements lay open
and it was the f~orty-seventh PROPOSE.
ton Lib. I, so he read the PROPOSE
ton. BY George says he, this is i'm
possible" So he READ the demonstra'
ton Of it, which referred him back to
another, which he also read, 'et sic dein'
ceps,' that at last he was demonstra.
lively convinced Of that truth. This
made him in love with geometry"

To The BROoKINGS REGISTER:-
Would you permit me to answer
many of your readers through your
paper how the conditions are down
here in Oklahoma? AS l have only
been over a small part of the territory,
| will only answer for this locality.

boundary of Canadian Co., two miles
from Union City. Ell Reno is the

Farmers plowed and harvested every
month in the winter. Oats was sowed
in February. AS the spring was late,
corn planting started on Oh before
April End; generally it is finished by
that date. 1t is a sight for a person
from the north to see fruit trees start
ing to blossom by March LIST.
Everything that is planted here makes
a quick start. Lettuce and radishes
are large enough now for the table.
Potatoes will soon follow. Potatoes
that were left in the ground last fall
are now about a foot tall. Wheat is
two feet tall. We have the prospects
OF a large fruit crop this year. This

The Need for Clean Men

If one were to 60 to the President OF
the United States and ask him to name
the country's greatest need he would
reply in his quick, conclusive way,
"Clean men," He knows. Smart
men there are by thousands; rich men
abound more than in any other age OF
the world; able men are found in every
State and township, but even from a
population of eighty millions the chief
executive has difficulty in finding the
man of exceptional character for a post
which requires a square and aawless
morality. 1t is to his credit that he
misses no opportunity to preach clean
manhood. But neither presidents nor
preachers nor teachers can do the work
of fathers except in their own families.
We do not mean to underestimate the
marvellous influence of the mother. In
most lands men who reach success
give their mothers the credit. "All
that / am l owe to my mother" said
Lincoln. "It was you who taught me
to write so. You really did, dear
mother" said the Grabbed Carlyle.
We get our moral qualities from our
mothers, our mental from our fathers,
say the psychologists, and as we look
back we find this maternal affection
the loveliest thing on earth. But isn't
there a conviction down deep in our
souls that we should have done much
better il our fathers had taken time
and trouble to share our condolences
in the years that counted mcst?-From
THE DELINEATOR for June.

He parted with the Grant administra-
ton and Joined the liberals in the ill
starred campaign to make Horace
Greeley president Of the United States.
Mr.. Schurz was one Of the few men
who survived that unfortunate politi-
cal experiment Of trying to fuse repub-
licans and democrats SO soon after the
war. He returned to the fold and
became secretary Of the interior under
President Hayes. Before he held this
Office he had imbibed the principles
OF civil service reform and in his
administration attempted to put some
OF them into practice. 1t should be
noted also that he was a pioneer in
the movement for the preservation OF
the forests on the public lands. That
they have not been preserved vas not
because the interior department did
not give early enough warning OF the
fate that congress by its legislation
was inviting"

Health is like any Inheritance; you
can spend the interest in work and
play, but you mustn't break into the
principal. Once you do and it's only a
matter Of time before you've got to
place the remnants in the hands Of a
doctor as receiver, and receivers are
mighty partial to fees and mighty
slow to let go. But If you don't work
with him to get the business back on
a sound basis there's no such thing as
any further voluntary proceedings,
and the remnants become remains.
It's Il mighty simple thing, though,
to keep in good condition, because
about everything that makes for poor
health has to get into you right under
your nose. Yet a fellow II load up
with pie and buckwheats for break
fast and go around wondering about
his stomach ache as If it were a put
up job that had been played on him
when he wasn't looking; or he'll go
through his dinner picking each
course in q different brand of alcohol
and sob out on the buffers shoulder
that the booze isn't as pure as 1t used
to be when he was a boy; or he'll come
home at midnight singing The Old
Oaken Bucket" and act generally as
if all the water in the world were in
the well on the old homestead and the
mortgage on that had been foreclosed;
or from 8 p. u to 3 &. X. he'll sit In a

smoke and dark blue cuss words, and
next day, when his heart beats fou>
and skips two and he has that queer
hopping sensation in the knees, he'll
complain bitterly to the other clerks
that this combining office work is kill
ing him.
Knight add that | don't like the effects
of drinking any more than the. after
effects, and for this reason you should
never hire men who drink during busi-
ness hours. When a fellow adds up or
whisky he's apt to see too many fly
ures, and when he subtracts OIL beer
he's apt to see too few.
OF course, with all the care in the
world, a fellows likely to catch things.
but there's no sense in sending out in
vitations to a lot of miscellaneous mi
crobes and pretending when they call
that it's a surprise party. Bad health
hates a man who is friendly with its
enemies-hard work, plain food and
pure air. More men die from worry
Than from overwork; more stuff them
selves to death than die of starvation:
more break their necks falling down
the cellar stairs thar climbing noun
tains. If the human animal reposed
less confidence in his stomach and
more in his legs the streets would be
full Of healthy men walking down to
business. Remember that a man al
ways rides to his grave; he never
walks there.

How TO Treat the Turkeycock Man.

It's only a mighty big man that
doesn't care whether the people whom
he meets believe that he's big, but the
smaller a fellow is the bigger he wants
to appear. He hasn't anything Of his
own in his head that's Of any special
Importance, so Just to prove that he's a
trusted employee and in the confidence
of the boss he gives away everything
he knows about the business, and, as
that isn't much, he lies a little to swell
1t up. It's a mighty curious thing how
some men will lie a little to impress
people who are laughing at them, will
drink a little in order to sit around
with people who want to get away
from them and will even steal a little
to 'go into society" with people who
sheer at them.
The most important animal in the
world is a turkeycock. You let him
get among the chickens on the manure
pile behind the barn, with his wings
held down stiff, his tail feathers stuck
up starchy, his wishbone poked out
perky and gobbling for room to show
his fancy steps, and he's a mighty i'm
pressiye fowl. But a small boy with
a rock and a good aim can make him
run a mile. When you see a fellow
swelling up and telling his firms BE-
crets. holler "Cash"' and you'll STAN

American is almost exclusively de-

National Figure

Congressman Martin now gives out
that he is a national figure and that it
is not good for him to discuss state
issues in this campaign. Martin is
evidently an admirer Of caste, a builder
up of an aristocracy. A national fig
ure, forsooth! That is probably the
reason he declined to step down from
his lofty position and discuss state
issues with Crawford and Hall at
Brookings recently. "This meeting
was advertised for me and / decline to
divide it with an insurgent." This
national figure said that, referring to
Coe 1 Crawford, a South Dakotan.
When this congressman, elected to his
position by the votes OF the common
people of South Dakota, haughtily
declines to discuss their local issues
with their spokesman, standing on his
dignity as a national character, on
what lowly plane has he placed the
farmers, the business men, the laborers
of this commonwealth? All, they are
the vassels of the machine in the
estimation of this self constituted
national character. 1t is they whom
the grand dukes are expected to herd
to the ballot box in the voting precincts
of the state. How do you like it?
Have you ever heard President
Roosevelt say that he in a national
figure, far removed from the common
people? In very truth he is a national
figure, and more. His influence ex-
tends to the remotest corner of the
world wherever civilization and semi
civilization is known. But out here
in progressive South Dakota we have
developed not only a car to rule over
our political destines, but among US
has grown up a national figure who,
like the poor laborer's college-bred
son has forgotten the mother who
nurtured him into life, says to the
me who voted him into his high
Office, l am a national figure; it would
be bad form for me from my lofty
station to discuss your lowly state
issues Madison Leader.

The Name Of China.

We speak Of China and the Chinese,
little thinking that the natives of the
Flowery Kingdom never hear those
terms until after leaving the place Of
their birth or coming in contact with
some traveller. They have many names
by which they designate themselves
and the land which they inhabit, but
Chinese and China are not among the
number The most ancient name Of
China is Tienhai, which signifies ''be-
meath the sky" Since the present rul-
ing house took control Of the empire in
1850 the name Of Tatsingkwoh has been
applied to the kingdom as a whole and
Chungkwoh to that portion known to
American readers as the Middle King
dom.

There is an overwhelming sentiment
in this county, at least, favoring the
enactment of a primary election law
which will place in the hands Of
every voter an opportunity to vote
direct at the primaries for the person
he wishes to have elected to state or
county Office and in this way also the
voter will be able to select representa-
tives in the legislature. This will
effectually wipe out machine politics
and give every voter a chance to have
his vote count. This paper advocates
the introduction OF the primary voting
system and believes the people are in
accord with US.

The claim made by the Aberdeen

of the Kittredge element is, namely
that an attempt will be made to steal

their purpose to overthrow boss rule.

Again we call the attention Of the
voters to the fact that a strong pressure
should be brought to bear upon the
next session of legislature to have an
amendment submitted to the voters
changing the state regent law making
it obligatory that a regent shall reside
in the city where a state educational
institution is located and thus be able
to keep in touch with the institution
over which he has supervision. The
idea that any man can look after the
interests of a school and only visit it
once in two or three months and then
for only a few hours in preposterous.
