Sensible Adylce.

The election is over. There are some
who are disappointed because they lost
out. There are others who are happy
because they were victorious. But, in
the long run we believe the former are
the more to be congratulated. 1t is all
right to take an active part in politics in
the interests of good government and
good citizenship, but for personal ambi-
ton, ''cut it out" Our advice to every
young man is, "stay out of politics." Be
good citizens; get a business of your
own; if you can't do that work for some
one who has good business. Remem-
bsr that honest labor and having a hap
by home and family is better than hold
ing an Office that is always sappoint.
ment to you. No, boys, don't 60 into
politics; fyou do you'll be sorry. This
is straight. Take our advice and you'll
never run for office. If you should lose
well, that ain't 30 bad--for you might
quit then. But if you win it's all off.
That is, your peace and happiness is all
of. You don't even own yourself any
more. You've sold yourself to the pub
lie. You're everybody's servant. You
can't enjoy the joys of private life like
you could if you had lost. Running for
Office looks good, but if you win the
fruit turns to gall and ashes, as the poet
says. So, If you know when you are
we'll of, stay out of polhics.-Mitchell

Alaska-Yukon.raoific Exposition.

Former residents of South Dakota in
Seattle have started an active campaign
to secure an appropriation from the leg
isature for their home state for partici-
patton in the Alaska ukon-Pa Ex-
position in 1909. In the event that the
legislature fails to provide funds for the
erection of a building the members of
the South Dakota society will maintain
headquarters on the grounds
In the South Dakota home will be a
register giving the names and addresses
of former residents ofthe state who now
reside in Washington. This will be an
alphabetical list and will show the coun-
ty In which the former residents of
South OAK ota lived while in their native
state.
The South Dakota society is active in
the work Of exploiting the Exposition
and letters with mention of the fair to-
gether with post cards showing photo
graphs of completed buildings will be
sent to friends, relatives and acquain-
tances in every locality in the state to
encourage attendance at the Seattle ex-
hibiton in 1909. The Exposition will
open completed in every detail June
lst and will continue open until Octo-
Der 10th.

A Noble Gift.

Through the generosity of Mrs Mary
Walker, of Ledora, Iowa, mother of DR..
F. Z. Walker, and aided by the public
spirited doctor himself, Hot Springs
is to have another institution
for the disabled. The institution
will be named "The Mary Walker Home
for Crippled and Deformed Children"
and the name expresses the purpose of
the founders. Mrs. Walker will endow
the home which is to bear her name
with an annual income sufficient to meet
present requirements of the home. The
plan will be to provide home and hos
pital for crippled and deformed children
under the age of l6 years, who, by rea-
son of lack of fands would otherwise not
receive proper treatment, and to pro
vide proper education and industrial
training for such patients. The home
will be under the management of a
board of trustees comprised of seven per-
sons selected by Mrs. Mary Walker, who
will incorporate under the laws of South
Dakota. =
DIR. Walker will donate his profess
sional services to the patients of the in
stitution and will practically have charge
of it.
1t is expected that temporarily ar
rangements will be made with the Bene-
dictine Sisters for taking care of the pa
tients, but the institution will, within a
few months perfect plans for suitable
buildings. Many of the details Of the
plans OF the promoters are yet to be
worked and some of the we'll defined
plans We are not permitted to publish at
present.
The people of Hot Springs will not
fail in gratitude to Mrs. Mary Walker,
who is the first person to endow Hot
Springs institution. Her name is des-
tined to be gratefully remembered not
only by our people but by many afflict.
ed who will owe to her an obligation
greater than halflife itself.-Hot Springs

Other states will have to sit up and
take notice of South Dakota now if they
have not done SO before. The report Of
Doane Robinson, secretary Of the state
historical department, shows the state
has produced $lS5, 434, 430 in material
wealth during the past year. This is an
increase Of $25, ,202, 900 over the preced-
ing year, and is larger per capita pro-
duction than any other state can show.
And the thousands of new settlers of the
past year have not had an opportunity
to produce much, but the coming year
will forge ahead marvellously. Watch
South Dakota grow.

Report Of State Auditor.

Having received copy of the annual
report of the State Auditor, We copy
therefrom the following paragraphs:
The report shows that during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1908, there
were warrants issued to the amount of
81, los, ,54.29, payable from the stat Q
general fund. and charged against the
appropriations made by the legislature.
There were also paid out Of this furd
S29, ,547.06, interest on registered and
revenue warrants, making the total cost
Of maintaining the state government for
the year just closed 81, l35, ,0Sl.35.
The total receipts from all sources
during the year, not including $25O, 900,
amount raised by the issuance OF reve-
nue. warrants, which was used to take
up warrants of like amount, but inciud-
ing &66, $50. 70, ,a9eash oB--hand July 4 >
1907, amounting to 1888, ,l4l.2s. THIS
shows that the disbursements exceeded
the receipts by $l5l ,94O.O7. This is
largely due to the special appropriations
made by the last legislature for the
erection of new buildings aud additions
to our state institutions, which seemed
absolutely necessary at the time, but
which should certainly obviate the ne
cessity for further appropriations in this
line at the next session of the legisla-
ture.
Besides the Indebtedness created dur
ing the fiscal year, there are $3.50, 900 of
revenue warrants outstanding, bringing
the total Indebtedness OF the state over
$500, 600. These facts should make it
evident that strict economy in the man
agsment of state affairs is necessary.
Great care should be taken that the ap.
priations do not exceed the states rev.
enue.

National Forests in the West.

| 1uc iuotitutlOu OI Six uiStrlCL OLuCeb IT
the West by the United States Forest
Service, big piece of work which has
just been completed, involves q com.
plete change in the machinery of this
branch of the government as regards the
handling of National Forests. AS re-
suit of the reorganization, the Forest
Service force at the headquarters in this
city has been reduced to the general ad-
ministrative officers and to those who
are conducting the investigative work of
the Service outside of the National For
ests.
The six districts which have the same
boundaries as the old inspection dis
tricts will be in charge of six district
foresters With headquarters in Denver,
Colo; Ogden, Utah; Albuquerque, N.
Mex. Missoula, Mont. Ban Francisco,
CAL, and Portland, Oregon. For nearly
year preparation for the District Or
ganization has been going quietly but
steadily forward. This has thrown an
additional burden upon force already
excessively busy, but the work has been
accomplished and accomplished on time.
The transition has been particularly re-
markable because it involved no materi-
al delay in the transaction of National
Forest business while the change was
going on.
"The Forest Service, said Clifford Pin
chot, United States Forester, is putting
large part of its work into the field,
where it belongs. The organization on
December lst, of the National Forests
into six districts, each in charge of To-
cal force under District Forester, is
something We have been working to-
wards for long time. That we have
not done it sooner, is because We did
not have sufficient number of trained
men to equip the Districts.
"The District organization will mean
a much freer use of the National For
ests by the people, because there will
not be the delay inevitable 80 long as
National Forest business is handled
from Washington. 1t is also going to
mean that there will always be officers
with the power to make decisions, near
the ground, who can look into the facts
for themselves, wherever necessary,
without having to decide them at long
range. ] believe every man who uses
the National Forests will realize these
things inside Of six months.
1t is probable that there have never
been new government offices started
with their procedure 30 fully and def
nitely outlined al that for the six dis
trict Offices of the Forest Service in the |
West. II has been possible to start all
the offices well equipped with men with |
both the training and experience to take |
up the work. A large proportion of
them are men who have formerly been |
Ia charge of National Forests and who |
have been promoted to higher positions |
as the direct result of their efficiency.
Ali the district officers are familiar with |
conditions; many ofthem were |
born in the West and lived there before |
and after they entered the Government |
forest work.
