The Liquor Traffic.

j. Frank Hanly, governor of lndi-
ana: Personally, ! have seen so much
of the evils Of the traffic in the last
four years, so much Of its economic
waste, so much of it's physical ruin,
SO much Of it's mental blight, SO much
OF it's tears and heartache, that l
have come to regard the business as
one that must be held and controlled
by strong and effective laws. I bear
no malice toward those engaged In the
business, but / hate the traffic. l hate
its every phase. / hate 1t for its toll
GRANGE. I hate it for its arrogance.
T hate it for It's hypocrisy. l hate 1T
for it's can't and craft and false pre-
lenses. I hate 1t for it's commercial
ism. ] hate it for its greed and ava
rice. / hate it for its sordid love Of
gain at any price. l hate 1T for It's
domination in politics. | hate it for
its corrupting influence in civic affairs.
I hate 1t for It's incessant effort to de-
bauch the suffrage OF the country; for
the towards it makes Of public men.
I hate it for its utter disregard Of
law. / hate it for It's ruthless tramp
ling Of the solemn compacts OF state
constitutions. ] hate 1t for the load
It straps to labor's back; for the pal
sled hands it gives to toll; for it's
wounds to genius; for the tragedies
OF its might-have-beeAs. I hate it
for the human wrecks 1t has caused.
I hate 1t for the almshouses it peo-
pies; for the prisons it fills; for the in
sanity 1t begets; for its countless
graves in potter's fields. l'hate it for
the mental ruin it imposes upon it's
victum; for its spiritual blight; for
it's moral degradation. l hate it for
the crimes 1t has committed. | hate
it for the homes it has destroyed. l
hate it for the hearts it has broken.
1 hate it for the malice it has planted
in the hearts of men; for its poison,
for is bitterness, for the dead sea
fruit with which it starves their
souls.
/ hate it for the grief it auses
womanhood-the scalding tears, the
hopes deferred, the strangled aspira-
tions, its burden Of want and are
hate 1t for the heartless cruelty to
the aged, the infirm and the helpless;
for the shadow it throws upon the
lives Of children; for its monstrous in
Justice to blameless little ones.
1 hate 1t as virtue hates vice, as
truth hates error, as righteousness
hates sin, as justice hates wrong, as
liberty hates tyranny, as freedom
hates oppression.
hate 1t as Abraham Lincoln hat
ed slavery. And as he sometimes saw
in prophetic vision the end Of slavery
and the coming OF the time when the
sun should shine and the rain should
fall upon no slave In all the republic,
SO / sometimes seem to see the end of
this unholy traffic; the coming OF the
time when, IL It, does not wholly eas
to be, it shall find 10 safe habitation
anywhere beneath Old Glory's stain
less stars.

COLD PLUNGE SAVES LIFE.

While striving to rescue the hat of
woman friend, Amos Schook, well
known resident OF Lyman county,
nearly lost his life.
Desiring to make a visit to Ameri-
can island, Schook and two women
friends decided to make their way
over the railroad bridge, which is
composed Of trestle work. They had
proceeded only short distance when
they heard the rumble of an ap-
preaching train. Realizing that time
was not to be lost Schook hurried the
two women to the outer edge of the
bridge and ordered them to seat
themselves on the extreme outer ends
of the ties. He seated himself beside
them. The train, upon rushing by
them, formed suction which drew
the hat from the head OF one OF the
women.
Schook partially arose and grabbed
for the hat which was floating nearly
against the rapidly moving train. The
next instant he was struck violent
blow on the head by the step of one
of the cars. He was made unconscious
and was knocked on the bridge into
the river. The cold water speedily
revived him and his overcoat and
heavy clothing kept him afloat until
he could make his way to shore
When he reached shore he was near
ly exhausted, but his cold plunge had
saved his life.

PLAN ANTI-DIvoRcE WAR.

Bishop Hare and other ciergymen
Will Work for Favorable Vote on Law
A number of ministers and others
interested in the presentation of the
referendum divorce law at the fall
election, met at Huron. The discus
sion was quite animated and COM
mittee was named to summarize and
prepare facts for publication and dis
tribution throughout the state. These
are to be sent to the secretary OF the
committee, DIR. w. Fl. Thrall OF Huron,
The opinion prevailed that If the
people Of the state were made ac-
uuainted with the facts as they ex-
list concerning the present divorce
matters in South Dakota, there would
he no doubt as to the result at the ap-
preaching election.
Bishop Hare of Sioux Falls stated
that ninety-nine out of every one hum
dred who came to Sioux Falls from
other states, for the purpose OF pro-
curing divorces, leave the state as
soon as the decree is issued. 1t was
his opinion also that the people. If
rightly informed of the facts, would
unite in removing the stigma OF al
yorce that now attaches to the name
of South Dakota.

HOMESTEAD FILINGS IN BUTTE.

Most Filings OF Last Month In Rapid
City and Belle Fourche Districts.
The filing records of the three land
Offices at Pierre, Chamberlain and
Rapid City, covering the country in
South Dakota, west of the Missouri
river show that for March 1,016 home
being in the Rapid City district, COW
ering the Butte county country. This
took up q total of 10000 acres of
government land for the month. For
the same time probably $4,000 acres
more were taken through the desert
land, and decaratory provisions of
the land laws.
For the same month final titles
were taken by claimants in the same
districts to Ala tracts through cash
entries and final homesteads, the
greatest number of cash entries being
in the Chamberlain land district Sc
curing title to over $4,000 acres of
land or more than three townships.
Evidences of the class of people
which are going into the western part
of South Dakota at the present time
is shown in the cars of emigrant
goods which are going out. The
March record at this city reached
near the five hundred mark. and
Chamberlain and Rapid City both had
their share, while many more went
out over the northern line of the Mil
waukee to locate in northern Butte
county. All of these cars mean ac-
tual settlers, and an examination Of
the cars as they go through show that
nearly every one contains a number
of milk cows and several crates OF
chickens Another evidence of what
class of people are going now was
shown by the count on each coach on
the passenger train west from here
last evening. After the passengers
had settled themselves, count of the
car showed twenty paid fares, and
twenty-eight children too young to
pay fare, and most of the paid fares
were the mothers of the young
broods, the fathers having gone out
with the emigrant cars, and prepared
for the coming of their families. This
means actual settlers. and not merely
speculative movement to get cheap
lands, then leave them.

In and About the State
NEW LAW TO BREW TROUBLE.
Hiring Of Teachers for New Term
Will BE ain Air"

Hiring Of Teachers for New Term
Will Be ain Air."
According to decision Of Attorney
General Pyle. rendered under form
Or change in school laws of the state
and the provisions of the school law
Of last winter, there in material for a
great deal OF trouble In the matter of
selection Of teachers In this state for
the next school year.
Under the old system. with two
members of the board of education Sc
lected from each ward in a city, half
tho membership changed each year,
and the board was continuous Under
those conditions it has become the
custom Of the boards to select their
teachers early in the year, on the
grounds that the teachers desired to
know as early as possible what they
might expect for the next year, and
On the further ground that the old
board was in better position to
know which of the old teaching force
they desired to retain, than would
new members.
Under the provisions of section 179
Of the new law, the old boards are
wiped out, and board of five mem
oers to be selected at large takes their
place. This provision leaves no con.
tinuing board, and provides an en-
sirely new organization for the con-
troll of the schools. The date of cleo
ton is also changed from that of the
regular city election to the third
Tuesday in June.
In this selection of complete new
board is where the trouble is likely
TO show up. Old boards over the state
are following the usual custom. and
making selections of the teaching
force for tho next school year. which
will be entirely outside of their juris-
diction. and an inquiry to Attorney
General Clark In regard to their
rights brings reference to an opin-
lon by Attorney General Pyle, in 1899,
In which he holds "Ths school year
begins July of each year, the board
had the right to control and manage
the schools would be prevented from
employing such teachers. According
ly it has been held that the school
board, acting in good faith, can make
I contract for the services of teach
Or where the term commences during
the life of the board hiring such teach
ers, but cannot make contract for
the teaching of term which begins
during the term of their successors"
This construction would leave the
teaching force in towns in the air un-
til after the new board assumes con-
troll; practically would annul any con-
tracts made by present boards. and in
case where the present board had Sc
iected a teacher not satisfactory to
the incoming board, 1t will open the
way to serious tangles.

In treating all open sores, or ulcers,
bois carbuncles and other swellings, it
is important that DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery be taken persistently

the cause of the trouble. 1t is in the
blood that the great battle of health has

are simply the scarlet flowers of disease,
with roots running down into the blood.
These roots must be eradicated or the
disease will break out afresh. "Golden
Medical Discovery" cleanses the blood
of all foul and poisonous accumulations,
pushes out the dead and waste matter,
and thus purifes the entire life current.
