COLT CANNOT
WIN NEWPORT,
Says GARDNER

Senator Rathbone Gardner aroused
considerable enthusiasm at the Democrat
ic registration rally in Columbsu hall.
Charles street, last evening. when he de-
clared:
"If Colt gets the Republican nomination
next f. i II will lose the city of Newport
to that party. There is a good crance
that We will carry Warwick. and few
votes would turn Cranston into the Demo.
cratic ranks. These would give the DEM
ocrats The control 81 the joint commit :ee
and we could elect Col. Goddard to he
United States senatorship.'
1t was the third gathering of the voters
OF the Third ward in response to invita-
tions issued by the special registration
committee to ge out every person eligi-
BILE to vote in that ward. The hall was
filled and ex-Councilman Joseph II. Gay
nor pre sided. Upon the platform were
Mayor Mccarthy, Senator Gardner, Rep
reseniative John w. Hogan, Alderman
John G. Dunn and Councilman John j.
O'Neil.
Chairman Gaynor said there was a
splendid opportunity for those who ia
vored political reform to advance civic
righteousness In this state. He said that
there are about 25oo unregistered voters In
the Third ward, and II efforts are made
these can be uregd 10 place themselves
upon the lists
Senator Gardner said: 81 believe IL Ia
the policy OF the dominant party In this
state TO make registration as difficult as
possible There was never a time In tSa
history OF Rhode Island when a large
registration would be more beneficial than
at present The Republican party Is split
wide open. / do not see how there can
be any other course for the Republicans
but TO nominate Colt controlled as the
Republican machine Is by him."
Mapor Mccarthy referred TO a report
concerning the alleged plan OF the Re-
publicans TO attempt to pack the Demo
ocratic caucuses. There are men in the
Third ward who would like to work
against Hogan's return TO the legislature.
1t is. therefore, your duty TO register,
qualify and vote" he said
Alderman Dunn pledged his support TO
whoever might be nominated by the Dem
ocratic party upon the municipal or state
ticket and Representative Hogan explain
ed the movement made by the Third
ward to get out a full registration. and
told OF the great necessities for regis
tration and naturalization.

The fact that the wide expanse OF Ex-.

flood TO disspate itself and prevent a

doubtless explains why the loss was so
small.

Birthday Dinner.

Mrs. w. II. II. Phillips gave a six
O'Clock dinner to a small party OF
friends last evening in honor of her
birthday and that Of Mrs. Frank Sher-
win, Sr. Covers were laid for ten and
a choice four course dinner was ele-
gantly served by her daughters assisted
by Miss Krete Kendall. For the past
ten years it has been the custom OF
Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Sherwin to cell
citrate their birthdays together, alter
mating between the two homes, and
for the most part the invitations to
dinner have been confined to the same
people who sat at their table for the
first time ten years ago. 1t is a pleas
ant custom and one that is much en-
joyed by those fortunate enough to be
present.

Now that the more important politi-
cal measures are disposed OF by the
Legislature, that body must neces-
sarily, and very soon, turn their at.
tention to the all important problem
OF appropriation for the different
branches OF state government. The
most important of these are the educa-
tional institutions.
1t may be generally recognized that
our penal and charitable institutions
are well cared for, but the same can
not be said about our educational
institutions.
While South Dakota boasts that she
has no bonded Indebtedness, and that
she produces ore wealth per capita
per year than any other state in the
union; yet she stands forth as a glar-
ing example OF unsoundness OF pur-
pose by neglecting to provide the
necessary means with which to pro-
perly maintain her higher institutions
OF learning. Looking over the last
session laws We find, that the total
appropriation for the maintenance OF
the seven institutions OF learning for
the year 1906 only amounts to $3.50, 500,
which is not much above forty cents
per capita. This is less by a large
amount than what is appropriated by
any other state in the Union. This is
not as it should be. 1t would not
create a hardship from the stand point
OF the tax payer w il this sum was
doubled. However that is not neces-
sary at the present time.
\ The higher educational institutions
Of each state are the laboratories from
which the future patriotic citizen must
necessarily come. And il South
Dakota desires to keep abreast OF her
sister states in the development OF her
sons and daughters, she must at once
begin a new era, by appropriating
more money at least for the two lead
ing institutions, the University and
the Agricultural college.
The Agricultural college receives an
annual income from the Federal
government Of $25, 900 per year for
educational purposes along the line OF
Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts.
It also receives about a similar sum
for experimental work along lines oil
agriculture, but these experimental
funds can not be used for educational
purposes.
These sums should at least be dupli
called by the state, in order that tn,
money thus received from the Fedora
government might be used to the hes
advantage.
II the legislature intends to main
tain I high standard OF development

universities outside of the state. AS
Stunning that it will cost each individ-
ual on the average 800 per year to
attend any school outside the state,
this will amount to $l06, 900 per year,
or more than what is now appropriated
for the general maintenance OF both
the University and the Agricultural
College combined. If these two in
situations were furnished with more
liberal appropriations, they could be
able to advertise their advantages in
the local papers Of the state, as we'll
as to send personal representatives TO
the different High schools, and thus
come in contact with the prospective
students and induce them to attend
their home institutions; hence keep
the greater part of this money now
spent on the outside, in circulation
within the state.
Besides, a person who receives his
or her training in our home i%nstitu-
tions is apt to be a little more patriotic
and have a deeper interest in the well
fare and further development Of those
institutions as we'll as the state at
large, than one whose training has
been finished outside OF the state.
Hence, no matter from what stand
point you look at this; if the members
OF the legislature have the best interest
OF the state at heart, they can show it
in no better way just now, than by
a liberal appropriation for the two
highest institutions Of learning. For
as you SOW, SO shall you also reap.
