1t is quite often the case that
colleges 10 this state desire their
advantages set forth to attract STU
dents to their halls. And it is not
infrequent that the newspapers are
called upon to urge the young people
Of the state to attend their horoe in
stitutions in preference to going out
o. the state to secure an education.
This has been done generally by the
newspapers in a cordial manner. At
the same time the colleges ought to
take into consideration the fact that
there are newspapers in tie state
which are doing a general printing
business, capable OF turning out as
high a class OF work that any college
really needs and in fact can compete
with many Of the eastern Offices.
JNSt now the Yankton and Huron
colleges are sending out their annual
catalogues, which bear the imprint
of an eastern printing house. IL
must strike the newspapers as being
rather peculiar that a college ex-
pecting support from the state and
looking for favors from papers should
send their printing down east, and
at the same time ask the papers to
say a kindly word for them. The
editors have done it, for they are too
generous and broadc.inded to do
otherwise, but these two colleges
referred TO ought in the future take
into consideration the fact that
South Dakota has some good print
ing offices and that they eau do any
class of work That any college in tbs
state desires. If the managers of
these colleges don't know whether
they can or not. just try the news
papers and see if they are able to DO
it before sending it away.

Down in Kansas the state railway
commission have taken up the
cudgel in behalf of am uniformed
public on the %lateness of railroad
The old bulletin board is to
be brought out and on it is to be
scheduled the lateness of all trains
Or whether they ale on time. When
a train is thirty minutes late it
must be so written on the board
and 1T has got to be the truth, with
just a little allowance, for some
unforeseen difficulty over which the
train dispatcher may not have con
troll. The commission is going to
make the railroads live up to the
bulletin board, too, for it has iu-
posed a penalty whereby should the
train be later than scheduled some
body is going tc suffer. The people
will appreciate the action. Here is
a chance for the South Dakota
commission to make an impression
on the people Of the state and on
the railroads which are habitually
running anywhere from thirty min.
utes to an hour behind time. Not
n day but pretty regularly does
this happen up through this section
OF the country.

Frank G. Curtis, living down in
Milwaukee, has invented a new
battery, which. it is claimed, will
be the ean Of putting the Stand
ard Oil Co. to the wall in attempt
ing.to compete with it as a light
and fuel proposition. Ii is said that
his invention is to be exploited by
a company with a capital OF SIS, OO0,-
600, which has been put up by such
men as Marvin Huphitl, president
of the Northwestern railway, Presi-
dent Underwood, of the Erie railway
and the Pullman Palace Car Co. A
year ago railroad men made tests OF
the invention on their lines. The
battery is composed of a new alloy
for electrodes and a new solution
which devalopes the current desired
up to a high degree OF voltage. These
batteries will be made for inStalla-
ton In houses and will cost about
5000 to equip a residence, and the
solution at 8 cents "a cell, will last
quite a lone time 1t will be a great
blessing when some new heat and
light liPe this is introduced to clip
tie claws of the Standard.

In commenting on the assessment
of the railroad property Of the state
made by the state board of equaliza-
tion, the Bookings Press brings out
the fact that something else was
raised at the same time, which is a
matter OF some Importance to the
farmers of the state when their prop
ertY was brought up. The Press
says:
The state board of equalization,
composed. of the gentlemen who got
into office on the a~nti-railroad cry,
have finished assessing the railroads
of the state, and their action looks
at first glance as though they had
done something. They raised the
railroad assessment from last years
million dollars, which is quite a
raise. for a fact. But the farmers
OF South Dakota will remember
that at a previous session this
same board raised the farm lands of
the state some thirty four millions
dollars, and the farmers will con-
tinue to pay mole than their proper
tionate share OF The taxes, taking
the campaign Cry for granted that
they have Teen doing so In the past.
The farmers will also notice that
they will pay the largest state tax
next fall that they have ever paid
In spite Of the fact that the state
was turned over to Mr.. Crawford
without a dollar of bonded debt.

The evidences Of peace in the tele-
graphers' strike is fast receding from
view. Since President Small, Of
teIee raphers' union, arrived in Chi
caeo, a different phase has appeared
On the situation. 1t is now declared
that Small has called all the COM
mercial operators from their desks
where contracts have not been made.
Such al order calling out all the
commercial operators will have the
effect Of paralyzing the public busi-
ness and people will be put to a great
inconvenience. Here is where the
public is the most interested party
and where, also, 1T gets the least
consideration from either side OF the

The Yankton Press and Dakotan
gives the real reason for toe insur-
gents purchase Of the Sioux Falls
Press. They have discovered that
it was a money making proposition
and they wanted to get a piece OF
the good money that is going to
waste in Sioux Falls. We regret
sincerely that we made the wrong
deduction in the situation when we
attributed the purchase to the desire
of tie wing to have an Official organ
In the political circles Of the state.
1t was quite a labored effort for the
Press and Dakotan to bring forth
this reason, but it is one that the
paper desires to have understood as
the real motive for the purchase of
the paper. Well, if the Yankton
paper is content for the public to
accept it's statement as the truth al
right, but we doubt very much if
the proposition will he accepted.
When the new management takes
hold of the paper we will be able
then to judge how much business
and how.much politics there is in
the move.

GETTING READY
FOR BIC GAMES
Local Baseballers Will Beqin
Practise Matches Very
Soon.

The trustees Of the Baseball League
in a meeting assured Jess Woods that
there would be nothing done with the
league grounds that in any way would
interfere with the proposition of the
big series with the Coast league bows.
Everything that the trustees can do to
further the interests of these big games
will be done. As soon as the local
team starts to practise there will be
exhibition games Of bah played every
Saturday An admission will be charg-
ed to these games and part Of the
money will go to defray the expense
of the Coast team and the balance will
be given to the boys that participate
in the games.
There are many Inquiries coming in
from the other islands and the people
there want to be assured that they can
secure seats. There will be excursion
rates from all points on the other is
lands and it is expected that great
many people will come over to see the
action. 1t will be one chance in a life
time to see big Ieaguers.
The players will be called upon to
turn out to practise on the first of
the month. This will give them two
months in which to get into shape. In
asmuch as they have just finished their
league season all that they need will
be the team work and the practise

be elected by the players who turn
out to practise. The committee in
charge of the team will meet in a few
days and figure on the best method of
picking the team.
: There has been report circulated
that Barney JOY would pitch for the
Coast team. This is a mistake as Bar
ney will be in the box for the locals.
Joy is dead anxious to get on his own
grounds and pitch against the big fell
lows and how he will work here to
beat them! Barney will be very
anxious to show the fans here how
he has improved and will pitch his
best to bring victory to the Hawaiian
team The big fellow will certainly
get helping hand when he walks in
to the box on the first day. This series
of games would never come off if Joy
did not pitch for the home team,
The season tickets have all been
printed and they will be put on sale
at Gunst -Eakin's cigar store after the
team starts to practise. Absolutely no
tickets will be sold before the sale
starts at the cigar store. Every one
will be treated alike in the ticket ar
,angement and the first who buy will |

Nuu guilty of assault and battery on
Wong Sing at naipahu April 10, 1907.
The trial had been going on all day.
