Mr.. Ralph R. Voorhees,, of.Clin-
ton, N. j., the philanthropist who
has given to Huron College $145,
600, died on April first. Memor-
ial services were held at the college
last Thursday. Huron college
may have many benefactors in the
future, but it will never have one
whose services will be appreciated
like those of Mr.. Voorhees,, as he
has aided it in it's infancy, when
help was most needed, and two
beautiful buildings on the campus
will ever stand as monuments to
the generosity of Mr.. Voorhees, and

Basing its action upon de-
cision of an Indiana judge the an
IT, saloon league of Nebraska has
filed an application for an injunc-
tion preventing the excise board
from issuing any license for the
sale Of Intoxicating liquors on the
ground that it is unconstitutional.
The petitioners claim that the traf
fc is dangerous, is menace te
public safety, and therefore a legis.
lature has no constitutional right
to enact law authorizing traffic
in intoxicating liquors. This is
going after reform cross lots. but az
long as majority of the people
claim a constitutional right to pos
sess an appetite for the stuff they
will see that their constitution
doesn't interfere with the means O
gratifying it. These reformers ar.
getting hold Of reform at tn,
wrong end. Constitutions arr
made by the people the same al
laws and they will be adjusted tt
suit the public sentiment. Th,
thing to reform is the sentiment.

The hearing by the railroad com

The hearing by the railroad COM
missioners for the purpose of TAX
ing evidence relative to the estab-
fishing of a side track between
Scotland and Trip was held in
Odd Fellows Hall last Thursday
afternoon. Thirteen of the bust
ness men of Tripp were here to
join with the business men of this
place in opposing the movement,
and quite a number Of the farmers
from the vicinity of the proposed
town, were here to support it..
Atty's Price of Yankton and Jan
aucek of Lesterville appeared for
the petitioners and Attys, Wicks of
Scotland and Elliott Of Tyndall
for opposition. The railroad COM
missioners were represented by on-
ly one member, who with his stem
ographer, took the evidence, and it
will be submitted to the full board
at meeting at Sioux Falls, on
Thursday, April 25th. We believe
that the movement is ill advised at
this time. Our farmers are no
longer producers of large quanti-
ties of small grain to be hauled to
market, the principal crop being
corn which is consumed on the
farms and marketed in the form OF
cattle and hogs. A distance of 6
or 8 miles is not a great burden in
marketing crop of this kind.

PROCLAMATION
For Relief 81 Russian Famine

4 -ti
In this age Of Christian brother
hood, no call Of the deserving hum
cry should 60 unheard. have re-
ceived from Samuel j. Barrows,
Secretary Of the Russian Famine
Relief Committee, an appeal which
that committee is making to the
Governors Of the different states,
(which contains the following:
.sDirect information obtained by
the committee from personal wit
ness, as we'll as from the public
press and official sources, con-
firms reports rs to the vast mag
nitude Of the calamity and the

the next three months before the
new harvest can be sown and reap
ed, disease and death from slow
starvation will be the last act in
the dark tragedy.
Our country is prosperous and
generous and have often responded
to appeals to aid unfortunate suf-
ferers. If the people of the United
States can be made to fully under
stand the conditions in Russia,
they will give promptly and gener-
ously to avert the disease and death
which threatens hundreds of thou
sands of fellow beings. The Com.
mittee expresses the hope that you
will call attention to this calamity
by public proclamation so that op-
portunity may be given to the peo-
pie Of your state to aid the stricken
people of Russia
Contributions should be sent to
the Secretary, Samuel J. Barrows,
1876 East 18th Street, New York
City, and will be deposited with
and acknowledged by the Morton
Trust Company.
Let this noble charity be invok-
ed every where, in Church, Sunday
School, Fraternal and Benevolent
Organizations and individual con-
tributions, and let the aid be
pro mptly extended because delay
of too great length will make the
