Good Crop For 1906.

The sales especially Of binding
Irvine have been enormous this
year. The aggregate sales Of
Irvine in South Dakotallast'year
broke the record for all previous
seasons. The Irvine sold in
South Dakota during 1905, and
which was used in securing the
big crop Of that year, was suffi-
Gent, if placed end to end and
tied together in one continuous
line, to reach thirty times
around the earth.
That magnificent record will
be dwarfed by the new record
in Irvine sales made in South
Dakota this year. Owing to the
abundant rainfall in the state
this year, the stalks Of the grain
are much heavier than usual
and with the uniformly good
crops in the state at large has
caused an unprecedented de-
mand for Irvine.
More pounds per acre than
last year will necessarily be used
and the aggregate sales for tho
season will be anywhere from
u, 600, 600 to 100000 pounds
greater than the aggregate sales
Of Irvine in the states last year.
Thousands of. acres Of new
land III the state this year pro-
duced crops for the first time,
and this had a bearing on the
greatly increased sales oftwine.
The weather has been ideal
this season. Recently there
have been tinerains at such in
tervals that crops received the
greatest possible benefit, being
given moisture just at the right
time. Warm, clear days have
followed, putting the finishing
touches on a crop winch cannot
be excelled in any other state in
the union.
An unusual feature Of most
of the rain storms has been the
absence Of wind, thunder and
lightning, which ordinarily ac-
0nrnnanios anch storms
The crop Of timothy hay that
is being put up in South Dakota
this year is exceptionally fine
and the yield is large. Last year
South Dakota produced hay to
the value Of $l2, 900, 600. There
is no doubt that the value Of this
years hay crop in the state will
greatly exceed that Of last year.

JUVENILE LAWS.

Kansas City Star: The action Of a
convention Of sheriffs in Des Moines
last week In condemning the juvenile
laws in force in different states brings
up again the old problem of the dispo.
sition of boy offenders. The Iowa gath.
ering represented sixteen states, and
it was the almost unanimous opinion
Of the one hundred officers in attend
ance that the leniency that character
ICES all enlightened legislation dealing
with novices In crime does more harm
than good. Leniency, 1t was asserted
by one speaker, who voiced the senti-
ments OF the convention, gives the real
ly bad boy an extra license in wrong
doing and fails to recall the lad who
has just started upon the downward
path.
The opinions OF men whose business
1t is 70 deal with lawbreakers must
bear weight, of course, when 1t comes
to questions of criminology. The gen
eral public, however, will be slow to
accept the theory of the sheriffs that
in giving the first offender another
chance" an injury has been done to
either the culprit or to society. Too
many officers intrusted with the en-
forcement Of the law come in time to
be like Inspector Jayert, the Nemesis

RATHBUN ON PASSES.

Marion Register: The Sioux City
Journal says there is no doubt the
people OF Iowa are well pleased with
their antf-pass law" Where did it get
its information? Did the Journal ever
hear Of a man refusing pass and step
up to the ticket Office window and buy
his pasteboard unless he was out for
an Office and making a grand stand
play as an incident thereto? Can it
name a prominent citizen Of Iowa now
talking loud and long against passes
who ever refused one prior to 1905?
Does 1t entertain suspicion that one
of them has used passes when travel
Ing whenever he could get one? We
do not believe that member of the
general assembly who voted for the
law ever refused a pass prior thereto
unless it was the exception that proved
the rule and we don't believe that
single member will be better man,
more upright citizen in the future than
he was before he voted for the meas
ure. Personally we do not care a con-
tinental about 1t, but knowing men as
we do, and knowing the anti-pass ad-
vocates as we do 1t Is amusing to
either read or listen to what they say.
There never was a day from the time
they became prominent in public af-
fairs until within a year or two If they
had been searched the goods would
not have been found on their persons.
Be honest-tell the truth.

OF Jean Vatican. In their eyes the
wrong done the state has not been
righted until the extreme penalty of
the law has been imposed They lose
sight of the fact that essence of pun
ishment Is not to inflict suffering. but
to reform, "once a criminal, always a
criminal has become an axiom with
them.
These officers readily admit that the
effect is bad of housing boys convicted
of minor offenses with habitual Offend
ers and that boy once associated
with such criminals is almost assured
ly hopeless case. In spite of this
fact, however, 100 officers, gathered
from sixteen states, could find room for
arguments against modern juvenile
laws. Their line of reasoning is hard
to understand. Little is lost il prison
term Is waived in the case of a boy
who Is undeserving, while the gain to
society If one offender be reclaimed is
not only moral and ethical but can be
measured in dollars and cents.

DoBsoN's PREDICTION.

Hon. George Dobson, former secre-
tary Of state, who was factor in car
rying the state of Missouri for Roose-
welt two years ago, says that the knell
OF Governor Folk is being sounded,
and predicts his downfall When Dob
son came back to Iowa and said that
Missouri would go republican in 1904
his prediction was ridiculed. When he
says that the end of the reign of Folk
is near, there are many who will be I'M
able to believe it, knowing of his for
mer popularity.
But while the reformer has his pur-
pose and his mission, he also has his
day. It is not the fault of the real re-
former that 1t is So 1t Is the fault Of
the bogus one. 1t is the fault of the
reformer who reforms because reform
ing is popular. The first of a class Of
reformers is hailed with delight. The
people like to see the man with the
courage to go against the customs and
practices and change them, when the
change is for the right Then along
comes the class that rides on the other
fellows pass, as it WERE Instead Of
walking into the hearts of the people
by the straight and narrow path they
climb over the fence and the people
are astounded when they see all who
are within the enclosure that was
meant for the reformers alone. The
voters then take an invoice Of what
has been accomplished by the bogus
reformer, overlooking the work Of the
real one. They find that promises
have been made that have not been
kept. They find that what others have
constructed has been torn down and
nothing builded in its place. They rise
up in their might and say, There is
none good" and that is the end Of the
reformer for a while.
But Governor Folk has been differ
ent kind of reformcr than some. He
says that the laws should be enforced,
and he enforced them. 1t so happened
that he went about enforcing laws that
were not intended for that purpose. If
he had talked more about the trusts
and the railroads and not hit the peo-
pie OF st. Louis, Kansas City and ST.
Joseph so hard with their own laws
his popularity would not have been on
the wane so soon. The people do not
want to be hit themselves, they want
to see the corporations hit.

an ideal place as will be found by the
board of control
For years the place has been sort
OF resort for campers in the summer,
which Is something Of an indication Of
the kind of place it is. 1t is a con-
siderable distance from everything
and everybody that might be objection
able to it, OF that it might be objec-
tionable to. On the other hand that is
one Of the disadvantages, the distance
from railroad facilities.
Some of the localities that have had
reason to believe the board Of control
would locate the hospital near them
have set UP cry. but it is probable
that they are unduly alarmed. Tuber-
culosis hospitals are not new any
more. and people have become accus-
toned to them in other places One
under private control is located no
farther away than Ottawa, ILL.,, and
the only thing ever heard about it is
the good results being accomplished
there. When the state first began To-
eating its hospitals for insane. there
were many objections raised to their
presence, but if one was to be built
now there would be plenty of cities
bidding for it.

HISTORY BRINGS HOPE.

In speaking to Philadelphia con-
gregation DR.. John Balloon Shaw Of
Chicago halted from the rush into the
future and took glance at the past
and drew his comparison. Muck rak-
ing, grating and other problems of
public questions under discussion to-
day NFe viewed in the following man
ner:
There is nothing new about the So
cial evil, and there has not been for
5000 years. The degradation of the
modern high society is being talked
about a great deal. All that has been
said about Newport life undoubtedly is
true. The adultery, drunkenness, polite
gambling, and bestiality of these peo-
pie is enough to make one shudder
with something like premonition of the
approaching judgment. 1t is confessed
ly as bad as it could be. You say it Is
a development Of modern life, but if
you say that you are ignorant of his
tory. Look at old Corinth and Thebes.
Those people were idle, rich, and
spending money in debauchery and, in
later years, in sentimental regrets.
They had no serious object in life and
regarded the complications of love
affair as more interesting than the rise
or fall of a kingdom. What could bet
ter describe the Newport set than thai?
Is muck raking modern thing?
Yes, if the days of Jefferson and Ad-
ans and Washington are modern.
Who has ever suffered more at the
hands of the purveyor Of public scan
dial than the father of his country? And
SO is graft and plumber. Nothing in
the palmy days Of Tammany's graft
can compare with the stealing Of the
good old Romans"
Muck raking is modern II the days
of Jefferson and Adams and Washing
ton are modern. History tells us that.
THE good men do lives after them"
but a generation or two finds the evil
forgotten. All eyes are on the present
and future It is often well to forget
the past, but not always It is too oft
en- misrepresented. Sometimes his
tory has to be called up to prove, some
men liars. s.
To hear some men talk one would
be led to think that all of sudden the
Americans had become viciously cor
rupt. AS men go up and down the
country preaching this sentiment we
set excited, We want to turn the ras-
calls OUT right away. Then when we

Do you ever in the midst of the

you disobey the laws of nature-you
live an artificial life.

Life out Of doors-there is where you
find the renewal forces.
There is no life in town there is
death in it,
Aou pSiohS W AdIulc, UuL you are
always playing truant. You are part
of the air, the soil and the swinging
worlds. All these obey the laws of ma
ture-you do not. Is it strange you
should lose your harmony-your bal
ance.
How, can you expect to renew the
electric forces that are in you when
your bare foot never touches the soil
from which these forces come?
Get out into the open.
Man was made to live out doors. He
chooses slow suicide by shutting him
self up in a house. He was made to face
the press of the vitalizing winds, the
soothing touch of rain. He was made
to restore his life by contact with the
elemental forces. He turns away from
them in his reflnements and becomes
the slave of a discordant, enervating
artificial mode Of living.
Get out into the open.
II only for one hour each day. get
into the free spaces where the touch
of the primal things puts a thrill
through you. Feel the shine of the
sun in its life-giving warmth, the air
that is wine, the soil that is electric.
Get out of the stifle of the town. Get
out Of your lassitude, self-inficted.
Get out where there is real life, Listen
to the lure Of the Wild
Get out into the open.
You are one OF the prodigal sons who
is cheating himself out of his inheri-
