IFS commercial advantages has not yet been
learned.
The falacy still reigns that so long as money
is kept moving it makes little difference how
you spend it. OF the hundreds of thousands of
citizens who have contributed to- the millions Of
dollars spent last year for excessive comforts
and pure luXuries few seem to realize that they
have been tying UP wealth in forms that yield
no income and cannot be converted into cash
save at Il loss They do not see that money
thus spent is diverted from useful enterprises.
They are blind TO the fact that the larger the
proportion of their earnings that they spend in
luXuries the smaller will be their margin of nego-
table wealth in the days of tight money and
industrial depression. Human nature is not
going TO fOrswear all fun, nor is it called upon
to do so. But temperance in all things is text
on which million sermons might prOftably be
preached just now

BILLBoARDS AS NrLsANCEs.

California reports an inspiring advance in
the campaign against offensive posters bill
boards and advertising hoardings in the judicial
decision that such objects are nuisances. sub
iect to ,batement by the police authorities under
the common law. 1t was argued that anything
needlessly offensive to- the senses was nuisance
soap factory or a pigsty would not be toll
Grated in close proximity to residences, because
of the vile odors which would outrage the sense
of smell. 4 stone crusher or Il boiler factory
would be similarly forbidden, because of the
outrage upon the sense of hearing. But the
eyes are as precious as the nose or ears and
the sense of sight, the most useful and valuable
of all the senses. is as much entitled to pro-
lection against outrage as any other. So it was
contended. and it was decided by the judge,
that posters or billboards which grossly offended
the eye were for that reason nuisances and
might be suppressed as such
That decision seems TO be eminently logical
and reasonable If upheld and generally acted
upon it will certainly prove effective. The en-
forcement of the common law against public
nuisances by the police powers Of a municipality
is usually summary proceeding. There are, of
course, other grounds upon which billbOards
and hoardings might properly be dealt with.
Some of those objects are inimical to good
morals Some are distractions to the high

trespass upon light and air. Any of these
grounds should be sufficient TO insure the re.

THE OTTBOLND.

Every year, with the coming of the stInging
winds that presage winter the piers of Ho-
boken and Manhattan swarm with thousands
OF ,aborers hurryng back TO their European
homes. there to stay until Out-of-doOr work in
America is again made possible by the advent
of spring This November the eastward rush
has attained unprecedented proportions; it is
reported that italians and Croatians are sleep
ing in woodsheds and cellars and backyards
over I'm HOboken, the cheap lodging houses hav-
ing long ago been packed to their very caves
with the fastening throngs of translents. All
exact estimates of the number of the outbound
are untristworthy thus far, inasmuch as nobody
knows how much longer the exodus will con
tinue Even If no unusual industrial depression
sets in. the emigrant record will still be bro
ken Thus far there is nothing which can be
safely taken TO indicate that the recent unsettled
financial condition has had anything TO do with
the increase in the number of emigrants. The
vast majority Of the people now packing the
steerage of nearly every Europe bound steamer

folk are notoriously averse to zero weather and

of them returning to sunny Sicily and the

simpler and more speedy is their condemnation
and demolition the ground that they are
common nuisances.
AS for those which are not properly to be
prescribed ms nuisances, they might still be kept
within bounds on any of these other grounds
which might be found appropriate and, failing
that they could and should be made objects of
taxation, on the principle which we recently
reported as having been established with sue
cess in some New Jersey municipalities There
are thus plenty of ways in which TO get rid of
Objectionable billboards, just as there are to
get rid of the nufsances of smut smoke of
stenches and of unnecessary noises. All that is
necessary is recognition of the reasonable and
elementary principle that the sense of sight is
equally entitled with the other senses to pro-
lection against needless affront.

DRIVE OVER The ROUTE
Started to Drive Over the
Route of the Proposed Electric
Railroad Line.

When the railroad meeting was
held in Brookings last week a COM
mittee was appointed consisting of
r. f. Kerr, of Brookings, G. b. Ken
needy, of Madison, and ID. b. Miller,
of this city, which has an important
duty to perform in connection with
the proposed electric railroad be-
tween Mitchell and Marshall, Mimi.
The gentlemen met in Mitchell Tues
day and in the afternoon they started
to make the trip, which will include
a drive to Marshall Mimi. The party
started that afternoon in a carriage
and the gentlemen will make a very
careful inspection of the route which
it is proposed to follow. They will
have a heart to heart talk with the
farmers along the right of way and
ascertain just how bad they want the
road and what concessions they are
willing to make to have it a sure
go. On this trip the gentlemen will
have an opportunity to gather a great
deal of important information which
will be of much benefit in the future.
They expect to be away ten days at
least in covering the territory for
they desire to look into the condi-
lions as close as possible.
l.. l.. Ness, the new industrial COM
missioner for Mitchell, accompanied
the party on the trip and he will
have an opportunity to get in touch
at once with the project that w:;1
mean much to Mitchell and every
town along the proposed route if it
is successful in being built. The gen
tlemen behind the movement feel
very much enthused over the propo-
sition and they believe that they can
interest the people along the route.

MOVE FOR LOWER RATE
Commissioner Ness Will Make Move
for Lower Freight Rates to
Mitchell.

Sioux City Tribune: While Sioux
Falls is attempting to force the Mil
waukee and ST. Paul and Omaha road
and other lines to grant that city
the same rates as Missouri river
point, the Commercial club of Mitch
ell, S. D., is soon to come forward
with a demand on the railroads to
give that city the same rates enjoyed
by Sioux Falls. Mitchell will ask for
a rate based on 104 per cent of the
rate to Sioux City and ether Missouri
river cities.
l.. L. Ness, former secretary of the
Sioux City Commercial club, will
leave tonight for Mitchell, where he
will become the commissioner of the
Mitchell club. Mr.. Ness is former
clerk in railroad offices and compiled
the rate book publisched by Sioux
City %jobbers. 1t is understood his
first work in Mitchell will be to
check the railroad rates to that piont
and that the club will ask for a rate
equal to 104 per cent of the Missouri
river rate, and which has been es-
tablished by the interstate commerce
commission as the just and fair rate
to which Sioux Falls is entitled.
Should the Mitchell Commercial
club secure such concessions on rail-
road rates, it is the prediction that
the new and growing South Dakota
town would put Sioux Falls and Sioux
City "both to the bad" as a distrib-
uting center.

Commissioner Ness Arrives.

L. l.. Ness, the new industrial COM
missioner for Mitchell, arrived in the
city Monday evening, he being due
here on the 25th. At the Widmannthis
morning a great many business men
called on Mr.. Ness and made his ac-
qu%aintance and many of them spoke
of the pleasing impression that he
made on them. Mr.. Ness is a young
man, but he has had a number of
years experience in the line of work
tnat he will be called on to do for
Mitchell. He said that his impressions
of Mitchell have always been of a
pleasing character and that he felt
he had a splendid field to work in,
and one that would bring good re-
suits. He felt that he would have the
assistance of the business district
at his back and with a strong line
of hustlers, for which Mitchell has
such a good reputation, there was no
reason, he said, why the things de-
sired could not be secured.
Mr.. Ness left this afternoon with
the railroad inspection committee for
the trip over the proposed right of
way to Marshall; Mimi. He expects
to leave the committee at some point
on the road and return to Sioux City
and in a couple of weeks viii come to
Mitchell to take off his coat and get
to work in earnest. Mr.. Ness has
ONE business matters in Sioux City
which at the present time need his
personal attention.
