A spirit of criticism of the acts
of the South Dakota legislature
.pervades those newspapers of the
state hat arrayed themselves last
last summer against the independ-

they are devoting considerable
space to Il speciality that bears the
earmarks of a preconcerted plan
of attack.
Through these newspapers and
the discourse of individuals, the.
Legislative is being depicted us an
organization devoted to the crea-
ton of extravaganza measures that
have no place on the statutes Of
II level-headed commonwealth.
Ridlcule is being employed upon
which to build prejudice and pre-
JUDGE has done more against just
self government than all other
causes.

lative and administrative policy

II EACH AGRICULTURE.
by AZ. g. SA. TT EkL ZEE.

Whenever a new subject is proposed
for the schools we instinctiyely say:
The course is too full already; the
s teacher has more than shecan do now;
! we must stop somewhere; etc. The
proposition that agriculture should now
be taught in our public schools is open
to the above contention plus the addi-
tional one that 1t seems to call for a de-
gree Of technical information that the
teacher does not possess and is now
likely to acquire.
However, the demand is widespread
and insistent. 1t will persist where it
has arisen and 1t will spread where it
has not yet been felt. forit rests upon
sound reasons. II is up not from any
propaganda; not because any one man
sorf class .ofsmen have urged it; but it
has arisen in the most natural manner
possible as the inevitable corollary Of a
system Of free public schools among
democratic people. Becauseit has ris.
en- naturally 1T must rest upon sound
and natural basis, all OF which is reason
enough for.saying that it will persist,
and that ere many years of agriculture
will be generally taught in our public
schools. No man with his ear to the
ground can avoid this conclusion, and
the teacher WHO'S wise will give early
and sober heed to this most significant
educational movement.
Itswould take many columns to full
" set forth all the reasons for the move
ment, but it may be helpful to some
teachers to consider even briefly some
of the more prominent ones, from
which IT will be readil seen that is
evolution and not revolution that is in
the air; for educational standards are
not fixed but must move forward with
: the development of a people. We are
about to take a long step ahead in edu-
cational matters.

"Be A Booster. !"

The following poem written by DR..
Homer Clark Bennett of Lima, O.
"Do you know there's lots opeople
Setting round in every town,
Growlin' like broody chicken,
knockln' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind o'cattle,
Cause they amt no use on earth.
You just be a booster rooster,
Crow an boost for all you're worth.
"It your town needs boostin', booster,
Don't hold back an wait to see
1t some other fellers willin,
Sail right in, this countrys free:
No ones got mortgage on it,
Its just yours as much as his.
Ifyour town is shy on boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
eff things don't just seem to suit you,
An the world seems kinder wrong !,
What's the matter with a boostin,
Just to help the thing along;
Cause If things should stop a goin,
We'd be in a sorry plight.
You just keep that horn a blown,
Boost 'er up with all your might.
sLf you see some Teller tryin'
For to make some project go,
You can boost it up trihe,
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not a goin' to knock it,
Just because it amt your Shout
But you're goin' to boost little,
Cause he's got the best thing out
elf you know some feller's failin's,
just forget 'em, cause you know
That same fellers got some good
points.
Them's the ones you want to show;
Cast your loaves out on the waters
They'll come back s a sayin' true,
Mebbe they will come back 'buUtered,
When some Teller boosts for yon."

Petition viii Not Hold.

The last session of a hearing on n peti-
ton to have eX-Alderman E S. Watkins
of Rutland declared bankrupt was held
before Judge ]. L. Martin in the United
states district cour1 Saturday morning.
The petition was brought by credi-
tors of the late George c. McClov
OF Rutland to recover the amounts
que them on the ground that Wat
klns was at one time in partnership with
McCloy. Judge Martin did not give n
FORMAL verdict but indicated that the pc
titon would not hold He gave the pc
tltloners two weeks in which to ask for a
statement of the facts from him If they
wished to bring the case before the
United States circuit court of appeals
II they do not ask for statement within
the two weeks the petition will be consi-
dered as dismissed
The history of the case is peculiar and
involves some fine points in the bank
ruptcY laws. In May, 1905, Mr.. McCloy
started in the liquor business and Dor
rowed $1,000 from Mr.. Watkins. Later
Mr.. Watkins loaned him $500 1t was mn
derstood at the time that they were to
be In partnership. though this was to be
Kept secret and Mr.. Watkins was to take
no active part in the business. In July.
1906, Mr. Watkins asked for n settle
ment and after some legal passages be-
tween them Mr.. Watkins received $4,000
as nus share of the profits. besides the
$500 loaned, Mr.. Watkins claims that
the partnership was dissolved MAY l.
1906 after one year Mr. McCloy died
last fall and the creditors seek payment
from Mr.. Watkins for bills which were
largely contracted since May, 1906 Mr..

bills are largely for liquor furnished by
Wholesale houses. The petitioners were
represented by Joseph Jones and Thomas
