ted to a vote of the people in 1908,
before it goes into effect. The
Tribune cries aloud that such is
the natural fruit of anarchism as
typifed in the direct legislation
program, and that South Dakota
is to be disgraced for year
longer because of this radical
folly.
Don't take it to heart, so, Mr..
Tribune. 1t may not be true; and,
if true, if may not hurt the people
who are close to it as bad as it
seems to hurt you. 1t is entirely
possible that the modified divorce
law will be the better for little
revising itself-we don't know, and
possibly you don't. And anyway
the evils you mention are the evils
not of too much direct legislation
but of too little With referendum
in complete working order, the
vote could be had within sixty
days, a deal less than the time it
takes to test the constitutionality
of an act in the courts. And we
dom suppose that even the Tri-
bune wants to abolish the courts.

REPRESENTATIVE VINCENT ap-
pears to be headed straight for
the gubernatorial chair in 1908.
His stand for decency and against
gangism is sure to make him an in
vincible factor in the interest of
the people.-Pueblo Sunday OPin-
ion.
Mr.. Vincent is available for any
office where honesty and courage
of conviction is a prerequisite.
But we imagine he will have to
go some to secure a nomination
from his party. If we had the
space we should print some ex-
tracts from the pen of w. L.
Blair, present chief clerk of the
house, that would show how the
party Leadership views the
actions of a decent man. Decency
is not wanted in the present re-
publican party.

THE esteemed Delta Indepen-
dent takes up the Billy Sunday ed
itorial in our issue of couple of
weeks ago, and has gone to much
trouble to prove that Mr.. Sunday
works for love and not for gain.
We are at a loss to see what their
testimony is worth. The minis
terial alliance OF Grand Junction
evidently approved of Mr.. Bunt-
ine's statements to the effect that
it was want of sufficient financial
emolument that kept the Rever
end gentleman in the east, and if
SO, they should not jump on those
who repeat his charges. Personally
we know nothing about Mr.. Sun
day, nor have we the slightest de-
sire to improve our knowledge in
this respect. When he and his
associate ministers fall out we re-
port the occurrence the same as
divorce suit or a piece of news of
any other sort. True we did offer
a little gratuitous advice. We sug-
gested that the ministerial alliance
appeal to the courts on their con-
tract, if they had one. 1t turns
out that they have made com
promise. That is far better way.
Litigation is expensive. By saw
ing their money they may be able
to more thoroughly advertise the
attraction. Indeed, it occurs to
US that possibly the talk about a
busted contract was for advertis-
ing purposes, and if so it was a
very shrewd piece of diplomacy.
We thank Bro. Duffield for set
ting US right. The Grand Junction
ministerial alliance ought to thank
him also for calling their attention
directly to our article. Usually
we charge fee for legal advice
of that sort, but out of our regard
for the ministerial profession we
offered that particular opinion
without hope of reward.

SCHOOL COLUMN.

Mr.. Robert Underwood of the
United States Forest Reserve Ser
vice, gave a most interesting and
helpful address before the high
school on Tuesday morning of
this week.
Mrs. Charles Underwood is sup
plying in Miss Keeneys room
during the absence of the regular
teacher this week.
The following pupils from other
places entered school this week /;
Mabel and Fred Hanks, of Kano-
RADIO, Ks, Alber. Kline. from
Pennsylvania, Valea and Valloid
Meek. of lola, Colo, Fern and
Anna Garvin, from the Dry
Gulch school and Harold Biltz,
of South Dakota.
This week closes six months of
the school year. If the atten-
dance and interest thus far mani
tested is maintained during the
remaining three months, this will
be splendid year for the Paonia
schools.
When the report cards for this
month are issued on Monday
evening they will contain in ad-
dition to the monthly grades the
results of the mid year examina-
tions. Pupils whose grades in
subject are 70 or above and whose
monthly grades average fair are
doing passing work. Anything
below this is unsatisfactory and
should receive attention. Occa-
sionally a child fails from sheer
laZiness, but it more often hap
pens that the failure is due to one
or more of the following causes
insufficient preparation work in
the work of the proceeding grades;
outside interests that occupy the
thought of the pupil continually,
irregular and insufficient atten-
dance, i'll health and physical de-
fects such as deafness, defective
eyesight and lack of will power.
This last is the most serious de-
feet of all. A determined will
can override all obstacles and
win an education in spite OF the
greatest disadvantages. Our
greatest and most difficult task is
to train the will to act habitually
from right motives.

"FEARFUL AND WONDERFUL"

A Washington dispatch printed
in the Wall Street Journal quotes
Comptroller of the Currency
Ridgeley as saying that, while the
Aldrich bill increases the amount
of national bank notes that may
be retired any one month from
s3,OOO,00O to S9,00O,000, it is
ne necessary that the consent of the
comptroller and the approval of
the secretary of the treasury be
obtained before the maximum
amount may be retired during
any one month. In the same
issue of the Wall Street Journal
and in a Washington dispatch we
find this:
"Secretary Cortleyou has ad-
vised the comptroller of the cur
rency that he will approve the
applications for retirement up to
S9,000,000 for the month of March
1t will doubtless be the policy of
the department to approve appli-
cations for subsequent months,
unless some important reason
should arise for limiting them"
In the same issue of the Wall
Street Journal we find an editorial
showing that the banks of the
United States on January 26 held
a smaller percentage of cash to
deposits than at the correspond
ing periods IN the proceeding four
years.
How fearfully and wonderfully
made is the logic of our great
fnanciers. Money is scarce and
the people must have more of it!
Therefore we must have the asset
currency law permitting bankers
to issue money on wind! Money
is scarce and the people must
have more of it! Therefore the
customs receipts aggregating
S3OO,OO0,O00 per year must be
loaned to the banks without in
terest in order that they may cir
culate it among the people
Money is so scarce and the de-
mand for it so great that on an
uary 26 the banks held less per
centage of cash to deposits than
at the corresponding periods in
the proceeding four years. Yet
in the face of all of these solemn
declarations the republican con-
gress, at the behest of the hnan-
cial kings, increases from S3,000.-
600 to S9,000.O00 the amount of
bank notes which the bankers
may retire during any one month
and within twenty-four hours
after this bill becomes a law the
new secretary of the treasury an
nounces that he has app. owed the
applications for retirement up to
the 100000 limit for the month
of March.
And we are told by the Wall
Street Journal, at will doubtless
be the policy of the department
to approve applications tor sub
sequent months unless some i'm
portant reason should arise for
limiting them" Is it possible
that in the light of all these facts
the republican who has hardened
to the "let well enough alone"
plea will refuse to open his eyes.

British Justice.

British Justice is usually regarded
as both sure and swift, and much has
been printed to show how much hard
er is the way Of the transgressor in
England than In the United States,
and how much more certain he is to
be punished. A recent communica-
ton to the London Times by Sir
Ralph Littler, veteran magistrate,
puts decidedly different aspect upon
the matter. The writer, complaining
Of the wholly inadequate sentences
which are often imposed, mentions the
case of one man who boasted that he
had committed the offense of house
breaking no less than 20 times. He
had been in prison four times in one
year, yet his longest sentence was ten
months. The London police report 733
persons in the metropolitan district
who are habitual criminals. In the
same district, out of 512 cases of
burglary, there were only 224 appre.
tensions, and in the cases of shop.
breaking the number Of arrests was
less than one in four. These facts
certainly do not indicate any marked
superiority in the administration OF
Justice.
