The governor entered the theater
3 shortly after eight O'Clock. and his
appearance was the signal for enthus-
iastie cheering. Men howled, and
women waved their handkerehiefs,
while the band played Dixie" AS
the chief executive walked on the
stage a great cheer gathered new
force and rolled out over the building
when il was seen that he was pre-
coded by K T. McCOnnico. the bril-
liant young criminal lawyer, who was
an ancient follower OF Senator Car
mack in the late primary.
Mr.. McConnico presided as master
Of ceremonies. and introduced the gov
.ernor in one of his Enthusiastically
eloquent speeches. the dominant note
of which was party harmony and the
duty of democrats to stand by the
nominee. He said he believed in par
ty organization, and that he would
not be true to himself and the teach
ings of his southern ancestors if he
voted anything but the democratic
ticket. Mr. McConnico was repeated
ly interrupted with cheers.
When the governor arose to speak
he was given an ovation. A large
number of Vanderbilt students in the
''vande rbilt box" in the gallery emit |
ted college yen for him, and the
"sizz-boom" brought down the house
as it died away. The governor began
his speech by thanking Mr.. McCon-
nico for the complimentary reference
he had made to him, and then
launched into his set speech.
1t was strong, effective, graceful
and Enthusiastically eloquent. Al
though he suffered somewhat from
in his voice, the governor
was easily heard to the farthest corn
ers of the building. The deliverance
was in the governors usually bold,
aggressive style. He defended him

states affairs in vigorous language, as

time at Mrs. Murphy's home in Cali

Mr.. Murphy believes that the Klon-

time become the greatest gold produc-

ods of mining have been introduced
by large capitalists who now own all

people there do not suffer any more
from the cold than we do here
in South Dakota. While the thermo-
meter gets lower there, the air is
dry and there is no wind In that
country, at this season of the year,
the sun rises at nine o'clock in the

nearly every other state ID. l.. p.
Lamb, one of the oil inspectors on duty
In this state, says there is little doubt
but what South Dakota has the
best oil laws OF any state in the
union. He further stated that within
the past sixty days he had received
letters from sixteen different states
asking for copies of the South Dakota
oil laws, and in each instance the re-
quest was coupled with the statement
that the writer of the letter had been
informed that the laws of South Da-
kota governing the selling of oil were
the best known. Mr.. Lamb stated that
during the year just closing he had
been compelled to reject less than $50
barrels of oil out of the many thou
sands or barrels he had inspected dur
ing that time. So far as he is aware,
the law could be improved in one par
ticular, by being amended to the eX-
tent of prohibiting the distribution of
oil in the state by any company which
did not have a warehouse at some
point in the c'.tr. Such an amend
ment would affect the smaller compan-

WHICH HALF?

Half the folks in the church should
be turned oct" Thus spoke a good
sister in the seat in front of us at
meeting the other night. Perhaps, but
who is to say which half is to be
fired, and who is to do the firing =:
Would you make everyone who does
not think and act just as you walk
the planks? Should the vain and
naughty and proud be included IL
the excluded half? Must the dancers
and card players go overheard? Should
the liars and gossipers and scandal
mongers herd on the outside with the
hypocrites and tax-dodgers and back
biters? Would you kick out the gay
and the giddy with the soured OLD
crank or crankess who thinks 1t Is
a sin to be happy? Who is to say
which half? Who is to separate the
sheep from the goats? Here Is one
who thinks dancing the excluding sin
another blacklists every lying old gos
sip; still another draws the line at
boozing; while others have this, that
or the other test of fellowship. We
wonder II the church doesn't need
a little more charity, little OF the
milk of human kindness and Christian
forbearance just about as bad as II
needs to turn one-half or the other
of itself out? May It not be true after
all that "There is so much OF bad
in the best Of US. and 80 much ol
good In the worst OF US, that 1t hardly
behooves any of US, to talk about the
rest Of us."-Centralia, No., Courier

YOURS FOR BUSINESS.

That Brookings keeps right to the
front as a trading center is amply
evidenced by the Registers advertis-
ing columns. The progressive mer-
chants here are regular users of this
department of the paper and their
announcements show the same push
and enterprise that are found in larg-
er places. New goods no sooner ap-
pear in the largest markets than they
are put on the lists of our home deal
ers. There is no waiting for one seas
on to pass before the novelties Of the
coming one are displayed to the local
shoppers; every effort is being made
to anticipate your wants and be fully
prepared in quantity, in quality and

tage.
The steady increase in the volume
of trade here shows that home mer-
chants not only can meet all competi
ton, but can in many ways make 1t
well worth your while to deal with
them and those who want to do bust
ness with You on this basis are using

TOWNS INTERESTED.

The question OF location of the fed.
eral land office for the recently ceded
portions of Standing Rock and Chey-
enne reservations, west of the Missouri
river, is just now of absorbing interest
of the various towns in South Dakota
Aberdeen interests are said to be seek
ing to have the major portion of the
ceded lands included in the Aberdeen
land district, while Lennon, In the
northeastern part of Butte county di-
rectly e@st of which lies the ceded
lands. is said to harbor an ambition
to be named as the filing point for
this new region. There is also a dis
position among the interested persons
to have the lands apportiOned to the
various land districts.
However, La Beau, the present ter
minus of the Minneapolis e st. Louis
railroad, directly west of which lies
the reservation in question, Is pinning
its faith to it's accessibility as the most
convenient point for proposed new
land Office. LIE Beau's aspirations, on
account of its central position, are said
to be supported by persons high H. au-
thority. It Is practically a foregone
conc nclusion-indeed, It is all but an
openly announced purpose of the roads
officials-that the Minneapolis z st.
Louis road will extend across the res
ervation country from La Beau through
Butte county, probably tapping the ir-
rigated region In the vicinity OF Belle
Fourche. on its way to the coast.
This projected line will extend
through the very heart Of the nearly
3, ,00O, 900 acre tract about TO be ope0ed
TO settlement.

CENTRAL WEST

SOUTH DAKOTA SHOWS UP WELL
Possibilities of This Section
SurpdSSeS Belief

Statistics prepared at Washington
shows that the farmers of Iowa,
and the DakOtas are the most pros
porous in the entire country. North
Dakota leads in the annual income
OF each farm worker with a total of
S755.62, owing to the unusually large
farms CT that state. Iowa is second
with an annual income of $611.11 for
each farm worker and South Dakota
close third with $605.69 The
Nebraska farm workers earn an an.
nual income of $554.78 each. The
average number of acres worked by
one man in North Dakota is 1874, in
South Dakota 1876, in Nebraska SO
acres and in Iowa so acres. Thus,
considering the number of acres work
ed the Iowa farms are the most
productive In the United States.
The average value of buildings on
the highest mark for farm improve
the older eastern commonwealths.
South Dakota buildings average
$4l2.O3 for each farm, North Dakota
$426 and Nebraska $5S6.01. Value of

lows: Iowa, $196.55; South Dakota,
$2O3.l4; North Dakota, $238.S4; Me-
braska, $164.11.
North and South Dakota lead in the
average number of horses to each
farm laborer, averaging six each,
while Iowa has four and Nebraska
five. Iowa outranks all except the
eastern states in number of mich
cows and value of poultry on each
farm, averaging seven each of the
former, and poultry worth $30.50.
South Dakota farms have an average
Of six milch cows each, North Dakota
four and Nebraska five. The value
EOf poultry on each farm in these
states averages as follows: South
Dakota, $40; North Dakota, $13; Me-
braska, $21.SO.
In percentage of farms worked by
tenants in each state Illinois is at the
head of the middle western states with
a percentage of 1913. Iowa has ten
ant percentage of 34.9; South Dakota,
I2lS; Nebraska, 30.5 and North Dako-
Ia only S5.
| These statistics demonstrating the
success of the middle western farmers
are being cited to the farmers of the
! south by the farmers cooperative
demonstration workers of the agricul-
ture department to inspire them to
more effective methods. For. instance.
! it is pointed out to- the Alabama farm
laborer who owns on an average only
three-fifths of a mule and earns only
$148.9S year from the fifteen acres
he works that the Iowa farm laborer
has four horses and earns an average
! of $611.11 a year from the eighty
acres he tills.
| This farmers cooperative demon.
stration work under the direction of
the department of agriculture already
is putting into practice some OF the
plans for Improvement of farm condi-
tiOns, especially in the south, that the
presidents country life commission
probably will propose. AS organized
under the bureau of plant industry
the farmers demonstration working
forces consist of one director with as
sistants, ten state agents and 188 dis
trict and local agents. The focal
agents are required to be practical
farmers and erceive thorough instruc-
tion in their duties from the state and
district agents.
