New Men to Pilot Party

Washington, March I6.--The prac-

lican congressional campaign com.
mittee Is causing much %uneasiness
among those republican members OF
the house who have been renominated

for this c exist. In the first
place. the men who have been at the
head Of the committee for eight years
through four congressional cam.
paigns-may naturally be supposed ia
know their business better than those
who are without practical experience
The second reason Is that the retire
ment Of Chairman Babcock will mean
also the retirement Of Representative
| Overstreet Of Indiana, who has served
rs secretary Of the committee for the
past eight years. The leaders OF the
party, from President Roosevelt down
give these two men credit for wise
and effective management of the con
gressional campaign for the past eigh'
years. When they took hold they ad
opted entirely new methods and fol

The Central and Southern Black

are a great many well-developed mines
in both Pennington and Custer coun-
ties, but for some reason in the past
they have not been steady producers.
During the year there have been more
mines in operation and doing some
thing than in any previous year. At
Rockford. the Golden West and the
James Cochran mills were in opera
tion during thesummer season and
both mines produced heavily. At

extensively next season.

has been raised by the Keystone-Holy

company is excavating for large mill

0unaestlons Of State superintendent
Meet With Favor.

State Superintendent Of Instruction
Ramer is highly encouraged over the
reception of his plans for moral train
ing in the state schools by the State
Educational association at Brookings
at the recent session. In his annual
address as president of the associa-
ton Prof. Ramer advanced the fol-
lowing proposition: That moral STAN
ina is not assured by intellectual
power, and that the present day child
Is in great danger of becoming moral
ly insensible; that every institution of
learning must look after the moral
training of it's students; that the aver
age person is moral only in conse-
quence OF religious sentiment; that
Christianity is the only religion that
ever exercised a restraining influence
on the morals Of it's adherents; that
the Bible is the basis of Christianity
and therefore it's authority-not nee
essarily the book itself-must be rec.
ognized in institutions of learning;
failure to plan for effective moral and
ethical training is sure to lead to the
death Of high ideals and finally to the
destruction Of American institutions
that the United States is Christian
nation and failure to recognize the
authority of the nations great basal
book is unamerican and unpatriotic.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Sioux Falls Selected for Place Of Meet.
ing and June the Date.

Nearly every county in the state
was represented at a meeting held
at Sioux Falls last week by the Re.
publican state central committee for
the purpose of arranging for this
years campaign. The meeting was
presided over by Frank Crane, chair
man of the state committee.
Before the routine work of the meet
ing was taken up, Chairman Crane re-
ferred to charges made by his politi
cal opponents and circulated in part
of the press of the state during the
past year or more, to the effect that
the campaign books for the campaign
ditiOn. The chairman asked that the
,atter be investigated. After some
iscussion the matter was referred to
the executive committee of the state
central committee. with instructions
to examine the books as to receipts
and disbursements during the last
campaign and make a report at the
Republican state convention next
June.
An effort to have Thomas ThorsOn
of Lincoln county and Paul butcher
of Brookings added to the executive
committee for the purposes of the in
vestigation resulted unsuccessfully.
The two men are counted as oppo-
nents of Chairman Crane.
Sioux Falls was, by a unanimous
h1 hn1 n O.
the next state convention. The date,
June 5, is fixed by law. The apportlon-
ment of delegates to the convention
also is fixed by law, each county be-
ing entitled to one delegate for every
"fty votes or major fraction thereof

nominee for governor, in 1904. This
entities the various counties to the
following number Of delegates:
