TOBACCO "LIp" AT NORMAL.
Principal Says No User of Weed Shall
Be Student.

Be Student.
If students Of the state normal
school at Spearish wish to smoke in
the school year they will have to re-
sort to corn silk or cubebs.
Such is the dictum of the principal,
F. L. Cook, who has just issued to the
parents a lengthy ruling on the to-
bacco evil, in which he decries the in
creasing appetite manifested by the
scholars and declares that he will eff
f~ectually stamp 1t out at nee Hence
forth, he says, no scholar will be adj
mitted to the school, no matter what
other qualifications he possesses. IL he
Is known to be a user of tobacco in
any form, and particularly Is this
aimed at cigarette iends.
Prof. Cook says the old theory of
tobacco stunting the growth is all we'll
enough, but he has found that no
smoker eve makes a good student,
and 1t Is the mind he Is seeking to
cultivate first. He asks the parents
to cooperate with him in enforcing
this anti-tobacco rule, and says plain.
ly that no student who smokes is
wanted at the school. no matter If the
rule cuts down the attendance to only
ten scholars.
He lays the blame for the smoking
largely on the heads of the families,
who permit their boys too much laxity
In their pleasures.

Next to the person who never wants
to be alone and can't amuse herself for
a moment, the deadliest guest in the
world Is the unresponsive individual
who receives every new plan with a
saccharine early-martyr smile that
drives you to the verge of distraction
with trying to guess whether she is
enjoying herself or not. It is CHASTITY,
and every summer I seem to have one
Of that kind, says a writer in Ainslee's.
Then there is the sort, too, who
knows exactly what she wants to do,
and does not hesitate to propose It. A
second cousin OF Georges came 10 US
for three weeks last spring. She In
nounced boldly the first day OF her
stay that there was nothing she really
enjoyed like going to the theater.
Well, to so from Summerbrooke, you
know, you have to dine at q painful

Rapid City EntertaIns One thousand
Visitors.

More than 1000 visitors took ad.
vantage Of the low rates to participate
In the railroad jubilee of three days
which has just ended at Rapid City.
It marked the entrance Of the North
Western and Milwaukee railroads to
the Black Hills from across the state.
Mayor Emrick oficially welcomed W
cry one on the first day with a neat
speech. Each days program included
a balloon ascension, and each evening
there was a display Of electric light
Ing, including the illuminated "wel-
come" arch, such as Rapid City has
never seen before.
The second day, with It's picnic OF
the Black Hills pioneers, was the big
day. The feature Of this was the
civic parade in which soldiers, In
dams, bands, over fifty of the pioneers
and floats of all descriptions took part.
There were more than 1000 persons
In line, but the first settlers OF the
Black Hills were the objects Of atten-
ton, and all along the line were
cheered to the echo. In honor Of the
old timers Rapid City had erected a
triumphal arch. In the afternoon the
crowd assembled on the court house
square, where they listened to excel
lent congratulatory speeches from
Senator Gamble of Yankton, Attorney
Thomas e. Harvey Of Lead, himself
a pioneer and the first attorney in
the Black Hills, and others.
The evening feature was the pre-
sentation of a fireworks display, "The
Battle Of Wounded Knee" an appro-
pirate reminder for the old trail
blazers of the scenes OF the early days
In the Black Hills.
Mrs. j. A. Jones, in attempting to
cross the street. during the celebration
Of the railway jubilee, was struck in
the head and knocked down by a bug
gy tongue. She remained uncon
scious several hours, and little hope
is entertained of her recovery. A
number of minor accidents occurred.
Several children have broken arms.
Two young women, Miss Mccain and
Miss Buchanan, were injured by their
horses falling on them. One Indian is
suffering from a broken limb.

KISSING DAYS.
Observance Of Ancient Custom by an
English Fishing Town.

English Fishing Town.
Yesterday, says a late issue Of the
London Evening Standard, was kiss
ing day" at Hungerford, a quiet COM
munity on the western borders OF
Berkshire, renowned for its trout fish,
cry and it's faithful adherence to the
ancient customs Of Hocktide, which
have been observed since the days Of
John Gaunt, duke Of Lancaster, who
granted the rights and privileges to
the commoners.
At daybreak the town crier, arrayed
in a new livery, took his stand on the
town hall balcony and blew his lusty
blasts on the historic horn, which is
the symbol Of Hungerfordian liberty.
Then the "tuttimen" went forth bear
ing slaves garlanded with flowers and
made a perambulation Of the town,
kissing every lady whom they met and
demanding a penny from every male
householder.
The sun thus obtained served to
purchase oranges for scrambling
among the crowd Of children who fol-
lowed in their footsteps. The ladies
took the kissing in good part. and the
males paid UP smilingly.
Meanwhile the Hocktide jury was
transacting more serious business in
the town hall, electing a constable,
who is both a coroner and a mayor,
also appointing keepers Of the keys
of the common Golfer, bailiff, por-
treeve and other ancient officers
whose duties are rather obscure.

ELEVATOR PAYS DIVIDEND.
Farmers Profit In Several Ways by Co.
Operative Enterprise.

One of the most successful elevators
conducted by farmers in South Dakota
is the elevator Of the Farmers Eleva-
tor company at Bryant. The annual
meeting Of the stockholders OF the
company has Just been held and re-
ports made at the meeting show the
company to be in excellent financial
condition. Owing to the thriving con.
dition of the treasury it was decided
to declare a dividend Of 81 per share.
Ten per cent of the net profits OF the
company are held as a reserve for
emergencies. There are about 200
shareholders in the company, and they
received the dividend of % per cent
on their investment, in addition to re-
ceiving a better price for their grain
than was the case before the farmers
elevator commenced business.

Republican Protection.

When the salaries of members Of
Congress were raised 30 per cent by the
last Congress, it was claimed that this
increase was necessary because the
cost Of living had advanced in the same
proportion. This Republican argument
for the increase is an acknowledgement
that protecting the trusts with high
tariff rates has vastly advance in
prices had not been anything like what
the Democrats claimed was for politi-
cal effect only. The Republican
majority in Congress refused to revise
the tariff to relieve the people from
the exactiOns> of the tariff protected
trusts, but tley did not stand pat on
their own incomes. Protecting the
trusts is quite a different proposition
from protecting the people.

Calm Down.

Free advice when not requested is
rarely acceptable, and even the expen-
sive counsel of lawyers and doctors is
often neglected. DR.. James D. Day.
Chancellor of Syracuse University, in
late issue of Leslie's Weekly gives
his version of the cause of the panic
and incidentally tenders his advice to
President Roosevelt 1--WE are over
loaded, p" says DR.. Day, until about
every form of business is outlawed.
We have so many laws and so many
smiling commissions, so many special
and assistant prosecuting attorneys
barking on the scent that the business
man today cannot tell from one day to
another whose law ne is violating. If
President Roosevelt wants my sugges-
ton for remedy of evils | would say
to him: Calm down. Study Washing
toms farewell address, as caution
against the misuse Of the constitution ::
study Lincoln's mighty faith and
superb patience and his charity for all :;
study McKinley's philosophical, practi-
cal sound sense and give the p eople a
rest. The evils are to be corrected by
the force of public sentiment acting
sanely and calmly and they will vanish
away into regions whence come all dis
turbing ghosts. -
Jumping JeOsOphatl How can the
President "calm down." with Harri-
man telling tales out of school and the
ghost of the strumpet of corruption
stalking in naked horror through the
land. With all the Tennis Court Cabi-
net rushing to the White House, at all
hours, with tidings of plots and con-
SpiratorS and hair raising tales of the
double dealing and grating of this one
and that one of the Republican poil1-
clans, how can the President hold down
the lid on such pandora box of politi-
cal evils? Calm down. Why it is a
wonder the roof of the White House is
in place and it probably would not be
if the whole truth Of Republican cor
ruption and depravity was exposed to
a patient people.
It's all very we'll for DR.. Day, from
his easy chair, with the Rocket Her
millions behind him and the trust
checks in front of him, to advise the
| President IN calm down Ha evident

A Fair Comparison.

The fact that Mr.. Hartman. the
most influential and corrupt railroad
magnate, was consulted by the Presi-
dent about his recommendation to
Congress on railroad rate legislation is
the more important question than the
raising of corruption fund by the cor
poration magnates. 1t is about analo-
gous to d Prohibition convention call
ing in the most influential saloonkeeper
to advise the committee on resolutions
what to put in the platform. No won
der the railroad rate bill is Ineffective.

Business Conditions.

Is our boosted prosperity based on
sound business, or is it bOistered UP
and at the mercy of the protected in
terests and the corporations? There
are many indications of tgrn in the
business tide and that even the tariff
protected trusts are feeling it and are
refusing TO raise the wages OF their
wrokmen to keep pace with the in
creased cost OF living. The railroad
managers are postponing indefinitely
ali track construction and other i'm
proyements not in course Of completion
or absolutely necessary. WOrkmen
are being discharged, says a dispatch
from Chicago, land wages Of laborers
who last year were receiving from
$3.50 to S2.25 a day, are now accepting
from $1.25 to $l.50. Track layers or
steel gangs get from $1.4O to SLIGO a
day or about 30 cents less than last
year. The same dispatch informs US
that Italian, Greek, Austrian and
Belgium Iaborers are now far in excess
of the demand for them" for, Of
course. the poorest laborer is the first
dismissed and employers take their
pick Of those wanting work.
If this shutting down process con-
tinues to any great extent there will
be period Of great suffering next
winter in the greater cities. Tor the in
pour OF immigrants still shows no sign
of slackenIng. This congestion Of
laborers in the cities may be in d
measure paliiated by large crops and
the offer Of good wages by the farmers
to gather them. But raw labor does
not understand the using OF machinery,
or handling horses and who cannot
speak or understand English, are not
acceptable, so the relief must come by
the more intelligent labor seeking the
farms and fields and thus lessening the
strain on those who remain in the
cities. 1t Is astonishing how soon a
small surplus of labor reduces wages
and causes misery in place Of prospect
ty, when the prosperity depends upon
the hot bed system of protecting indus
trial corporations By the tariff; and
public service corporations by nonopo-
ly.
The fact is the Wal Street element,
which controls all the corporations,
have sickenea to death the goose that
has been laying the golden eggs, by
feeding her ens stocks and bonds in
much greater amount than could be
digested. Even:the gold AID currency
initiation has not been sufficient to keep
pace with this bogus prosperity ard a
period of fasting is necessary to allow
the goose to recuperate. This must be
accompanied by similar period OF de-
clining prices, for with reduced wages,
| consumers cannot buy so freely, until
there is an evening up between wages
and prices.
The moral the public. who will be the
chief sufferers, should take to heart. is
that tariff protection to trusts and cor
porations will not produce lasting pres
perity, for it is eventually disastrous
to take from the many for the benefit
of the few. And that is what the Re
publican system of sO-called protection
I accompiisheS.
