A Pierre correspondent predicts
that the anti pass bill to be introd-
uced in the legislature this winter
will not be pushed until the close
of the session, and Will be passed
without an emergency clause. Isn't
this a mean reflection upon our
new legislative body2 Surely il
they believe that a pass is a moral
evil that should be abolished they
would not think of delaying the
enactment of such law in order
that they may use them during the
session, nor would they corrupt
their friends by securing passes for
them to Pierre during the session.
A moral evil is just as grave before
it is made illegal by law as after,
and why not pass the anti-pass as
soon as it can come to pass?

A company has been organized
with a capital stock Of 100000, of
which $25, 1000 is to be paid up capt.
tai, for the purpose of establishing
large seed housel at Mitchell.
The stock holders are from Mitchell,
Highmore, Aberdeen and Brook
ings. While the distributing point
will be at Mitchell and many of the
seeds will be grown on farm to be
purchased near that place, in order
to have supply of seeds suitable
for all sections of the state, seed
farms will be esta blished in various
places throughout the state. Prof.
Wheeler, at present connected with
the Agricultural College as botanist,
has been selected as manager of
the house, and will superintend the
production of the seeds at the vari-
GUS stations. He will move to
Mitchell March lst to take charge
of the work, but of course the sup
ply of seed to be placed on the
market this season will necessarily
be very limited.

Machine newspapers are begin
ming to remark that "Crawford's
majority, was only half Of Elrod's
majority" Such was the intention
of the machine from the beginning
of the campaign and the causes it
helped produce is not a legitimate
basis for the boast.-Madison Lead
er.
Perhaps the Leader is right, and
perhaps it isn't, but it is safe to
predict that if the charges and
counter charges are continued by
factional organs the majority of.the
next republican governor will not
be half what Mr.. Crawford's was.
1t is not strange that the majority
for Mr.. Crawford was less than that
for Elrod, as the total vote in some
counties was not half what it was
when Mr.. Elrod was elected. Lo-
CO! &C! conditions seem to have deter
mined the cutting. In this county
while Mr.. Crawford got nearly the
full republican vote, the republican
candidate for senator was defeated.
In Tyndall Crawford was defeated
by six votes, and Stephens was de-
feated by 81 votes, and some of the
leading Crawford supporters were
working openly on election day a

The rural mail carries report that
roads leading into Tyndall are in
the worst condition they have been
for years. If these wet years con-
tinue, the county commissioners
will have to figure on a better drain
age system than is now in vogue
on Bon Homme county roads =
Tyndall Tribune.
The suggestion that the Tribune
makes in regard to drainage is
we'll to the point, but the reform
has already been inaugurated. At
the suggestion Of the ommissioners
the various road supervisors met
last spring and plans for working
the roads with primary view to
securing proper drainage were pre-
sented, and discussed. AS a result
we are informed that the work all
over the county during the past
year has been done along those
lines. Some striking examples
may be seen aronnd Scotland, and
we understand that the same is true
of other parts of the county. The
same board of commissioners will
be in authority the coming two
years and in that length of time we
shall expect to see some marked
improvements in our highways, al
though it is a work of years and
not of days and weeks.

The November term Of circuit

The November term of circuit
court in Minnehaha county conven-
ed this week. The trial Of civil
cases will probably consume all Of
this week, and next week it is ex-
pected that the trial Of Mrs. Moses
kaufman on the charge Of murder
ing her domestic, Miss Polreis will
be called. The citizens of Parkston
where tfe unfortunate girl lived
have lost none OF their interest in
this case and they are determined
that justice shall be done regardless
of cost. They employed three at
Ftorneys TO assist the states attorney
of Minnehaha county in prosecut-
ing the case, and they seem to he
confident that the evidence THAT
is secured will be sufficient to
convict the accused. Mrs. Kauf-
man has been spending the SUM
mer at q sanitarium in Wisconsin
and her husband declares that she
will be on hand for the trial. It
was reported that the young man
who worked at the Kaufman home
at the time the girl died and who
was the star witness at the inquest,
had disappeared, but the prosecu-
tion has kept in touch with him,
and he is now said to be- working
near Alpena where he can be found
when needed.

Thanksgiving Proclamation i

Thanksgiving Proclamation
The people, the,plain people, of
this state have greatkreason to be
thankful for the many and bounti-
full blessings which they enjos,,i
during the pnst year.
In all probability the state Has
never been freer from sickness mud
disease, and OF all our blessings
none suIpasses that Of good healtii-
Another greut blessing which our
people have enjoyed is that thes
have had all the work they could
possibly do. The reward has been
of the fullest measure and the re-
suit is that our homes, the hulnbl-
est as we'll as the richest, are pro.
vided with all the .necessaries and
of the comforts of life. There is u
something about the completeness
of the South Dakota home, that
strong as the word is, does not fully
convey an adequate idea ofthe COM
fort and hospitality found therein.
Doubtless there are exceptions, and
where they exist it is my earnest
wish that friends and neighbors
come to the rescue to the end that
all may enjoy Thanksgiving Day..
Toward the unfortunate one let our
motto be, "It is more blessed to
give than to receive"
The multitude of blessings which
we are enjoying this year ought to
make us better givers to worthy,
deserving persons and causes aud
aid us in being better and trler
citizens.
TO him who sends the rain on
the just aud unjust, let us give
thanks Iii our hearts, iu our acts,
in our homes, in the schools, (on
Wednesday afternoon) and III the
churches throughoutathe common
wealth, In ~ word, let us reinem-
Der that the year just closing has
been the fattest in the history oi
the state, especially 50 for the farm
er and all those who toll, and it oc-
ours to me that we ought to be the
best and most truly thankful people
in all this great and good round
world. / believe we are.
Therefore, agreeable to tho Pres
ident's proclamation, I, Samuel
81. Elrod, Governor of the State of
South Dakota, do hereby designate
Thursday, the 29th day of Noyem-
ber, 1906, Thanksgiving Day.
Done at the Capitol in the City
Of Pierre, this Fourteenth Day of
November, in the year of our Lord

Hon. Joseph Choate, counsel for

of rebating or granting lower rates
is not looked upon as criminal
offense." The Hon. Joseph is a

THE CARPENTERS SQUARE.
History of Its Invention and Manu-.


Carpenters who use the common
steel square, a very necessary adj
junct to their trade, perhaps give lit
tie thought to how, when and where
this article was first produced. While
there are millions of squares manu-
featured and used annually, all over
the world, when the nineteenth cen
fury was born there was not one in ex-
istence.
One dull, rainy day, Siler Howes, a
poor Vermont blacksmith, who lived in
South SALISBURY, was called upon by
a peddler of tinware to shoe a horse.
These peddlers travelled up and down
the country calling at every farm
house, buying everything in the way of
barter. This one had a number Of
worn out steel avs that he had picked
up at various places. Howes bargain
ed for them, shoeing the peddler's
horse and receiving the saws in pay
ment, and each thought he had an ex-
cellent trade.
The blacksmith's idea was to polish
and weld two saws together, at right
angles thus making a rule or measure
superior to anything then in use. After
a few attempts he succeeded in making
a square,, mdIheu IL Oil lulO lnShCo anu
fractions of inches and found that 1t
answered every purpose that he in
tended it for.
In the course of a few weeks during
his spare hours he made a number of
these squares, which he sent out by
peddlers, who found every carpenter
anxious to buy one. Soon he had or
ders coming in faster than he could
supply the demand. One of his steel
squares would sell for IS. or Sc.
which was five times as much as it
cost him.
He applied for and obtained a patent
on his invention so that no one else
could deprive him of the profit it gave
him. 1t was just after the war OF 1872,
and money was scarce and difficult to
get. 4 But he worked early and late,
and as he earned money he bought
iron. and hired men to help him. In
a few years he was able to erect a
large factory and put in machinery for
the making of squares, which by this
time had found their way all over the
country and had made their inventor
famous.
Such was the small beginning Of a

THE GREW ZEBRA.
PRESENTED TO THE PRESIDENT BY THE PRINCE or ABYSSINlA

ed to the United States by Ras Max
oman, prince and governor of Harrar,
Abyssinia. Upon arrival in this coun-
try the zebra was taken to Washing
ton in a steam-heated express car, and
was placed in the Government ante
lope house adjoining the cage occupied
by Dan, the first Grevy zebra to reach
the United States. The new arrival is
a young animal and is we'll and stock
lily built.
Ras Makonen, some years ago set the
whole of Europe in a fright, and start
ed tongues a-wagging over the BLACK
peril, by defeating and wholly destroy
ing the Italian army of Gen. Albertoni,
sent against Abyssinia by the Italian
Government, which had at that time
great schemes of colonization on hand.
Ras Makonen is a great friend and ad-
mirer of Consul General Skinner, by
whom he sent the zebra.
The experiments which the Bureau
Of animal industry will soon conduct
with the aid of this zebra may stand
forth as among the most important or
modern times. Certain English inves-
tigators along with Baron Parana,
a Brazilian planter, have already de
monstrated that the hybrid offspring

men of that splendid city nothing i'm
pressed me so much as the pride they
take in relating the achievements of
some of the bright men who have
come down from the North, to join
hands with the old native stock in de-
veloping the country.
They told me of one remarkable
man who came from New York in
1876, and proceeded to make himself a
leader in several different lines of
work, all of which are related to the
prosperity of the whole region rather
than to that of an individual or of a
single community. The story is well
worth telling, because it shows that
human are quite as import
ant as the material advantages which
are usually grouped under the head of
natural resources, such as climate,
soil, timber and minerals. A country
may be richly endowed with the lat
ter, but it must find the genius to use
them in the best way before 1t can be
a great country. This fact is fully

Bourke Cochran, of New York, who

ment making the term of Office OF a
member of the House four years, in
stead of two years, as at present, be-

of the House over the Senate, If the

power lodged in it by the Constftu-
ton.
Discussing the subject recently, Mr..
Cochran said:
There is but one change, one
amendment, that, in my Judgment,
could possibly increase the conse-
quence or capacity of the House to de-
fend itself, and that will be simply the
question of the term of a member. l

placed in the position that just as
soon as a member takes his seat in

his duties he is at once thrust in the
throes of a contest for reelection.
