ei Chimes Have No Edge

C fding that dyspeptic gentleman,
ie weather man, we can not pass
n ,ut of the last of our winter months
ewithout comment upon the bless
ings enjoyed by the citizens of this
great state.
1t has often been said, perhaps as
jest, that we lived in the banana
belt" This may not be literally
true, except as made 50 by express
companies and refrigerator cars.
and yet perhaps no where, in this
country at least, is there a locality
blessed with the climate accorded to
South Dakota. There was a time
in the early days when we had Mark
Twain's famous New England
weather carrying weights for the
rapidity of its changes, but of late
years all that has changed. Even
the sceptical assurance from the all
wise Chicago space writer's that the
change has been only in our heads
does not alter the fact that change
has taken place. This last winter we
are just leaving is undoubtedly the
finest this country has ever seen and
yet for several years we have exper-
fenced almost as good weather as the
gods have offered us this season.
A perusal. of the daily papers
brings reports of severe storms of
snow, sleet and blizzards in almost
every northern state. The most we
have experienced has been slight
drop i'm the thermometer over night
as the tail end of one of these storms
whipped past us high in the air
without reaching the earth. Warm
southwesterly breezes have prevail
throughout much of the season.
Very little snow has fallen and shelf
er of no kind needed for stock. AS
an illustration of the mlldness of the
past three months it is necessary on
| ly to refer to the fact that the ice
men have bad great difficulty in get
ting ice of sufficient thickness to put
up for the summers use.
We leave old winter behind with
scarcely a realization of her pres
ence and enter the first of the spring
months with feeling of gladness
that South Dakotan's have a blessing
in their sunny climate unequalled in
all the northland.

Anarchists Again

Once more the bloody hand of
anarchy has shown itself in this
country. A Catholic priest, while
administer ing the sacrament in Den
yer, Colorado, last Sunday, was cru
ely shot to death by an Italian
kneeling before him at the alter.
Instead of showing regret at his aw-
full crime. the murderer loudly
boasts of his anarchy and glories in
his crime. Such is the makeup of
this peculiar class of human beings.
They come to this country by the
hundreds: they enjoy our freedom of
speech, freedom of the press and
liberty of person They hold meet
ings not allowed in any country of
Europe. They MAKE incendiary,
revolutionary speeches. They preach
their doctrines of violence and are
allowed to go in peace by the officers
of the law. Some bloody murder is
committed, some heinous outrage
perpetrated by one Of this gang of
criminals and the existence of anar-
chy is deprecated by the press and
deplored by the pulpits of the coun-
try and in few days the interest OF
| the public is transferred to some lat
er occurance. We forget the mur.
der, we forget the outrage, we for
get the lesson taught by either.
Is it not time that such men anc
women as Alexander Berkman anC
Emma Goldman be properly dealt
with? Is it not time that our mar
/ tyred president, William Mckinley
be not reyenged, but the lesson OF
his death profited by? Is itnot time
that this incestuous breed Of crimi
nails, from their most exalted leader
to the lowest, most ignorant fol
lower be driven out of our country
for ever, or placed where their hel
lish doctrines cannot injure the
society of which they form no part

THE WEEK AT
THE TABERNACLE
Meetings Drawing to a Close
Johnson Defended
BY REV. c. II. CRUDE


The attendance at all the meetings
in the Tabernacle last week increas-
ed.
On Thursday evening by actual
count, there were 40 persons pres
ent.
Mr. Johnson continues to preach
very strong sermons. The elements
of his strength lay in his simple
every day language. 1t is the lam
guage of the street and the shop.
At times he is so collouuial and pic
turesqre and slangy that it might
seem irreverent; but far removed
from this, we have never heard a
man handle the things of God more
reverently. Here is sample of
some of his shots: Some church
members haven't religion enough to
grease a gimlet, and they are as
crooked as a cork screw"
He told the men on Sunday after
noon; 1T takes manhood to be a
christian, the trouble with YOU fel-
lows is you haven't got the manhood
to become christian" This was
the burden of his message and in the
judgment of the writer it was the
most powerful Gospel address to men
that he has ever heard. This, also,
must have been the impression upon
the men for they were nightly
moved and about ID of them decided
to start in the christian life.
| At the same hour on Sunday after
moon the Presbyterian church over
flowed with a woman S meeting led
by Mrs Johnson. On Saturday
afternoon Mr. Johnson addressed a
large audience of women at the tab
ernacle searchingly on mothers, with
which women have to do.
The largest audience up to this
time gathered on Sunday evening.
Mr. Forsythe sang with great power
the Holy City and Mr. Johnson
spoke with his usual vigor. There
were about 50 decisions for the
greater part men and women,
The meetings will continue all
week and it is believed that many
decisions for the Christian Life will
be made.
A word of caution Whatever you
may hear on the street or even from
other places remember that all your
pastors and the best people of the
town are standing by these men and
and will vouch for their good names
On the % day of January 1908 RObt
/ +. Johnson was ordained a minister
of the Gospel by the Presbytry of
Minneapolis. This was done by the
action of 43 Presbyterian preachers
after searching inquiry and eight
years of successful lay service by Nh
Johnson. And Mr. Forsythe is the
only licentiate of the Presbytery of
Buffalo, body of 81 Presbyterian
ministers. When you hear ire,
sponsible and vicious street reports
just refer to the above facts. We
are glad to be able to vouch foi
these men in this way,
We will get out of the meetings
just what we put into them. If :
man curses and maligns, he'll get
only harm to himself. In this re
spect they are like an echo. and so is
the Gospel.
There are up to this time aboui
| 275 professions.
During the last days the peope
pray for and expect greater things.

WHITE PAPER FAMINE.
Wood Pulp Promises to Be Worth Its
Weight in Gold.

Milwaukee. Wis, Nov 21.-An
Evening Wisconsin special from APP
pleton, Wis, says;
Unless altogether abnormal wealth
er conditions prevail practically
throughout the United States between
now and the first of the new year, this
country within six weeks will face a
print paper famine, according to the
best judgment of the largest paper
manufacturers of Wisconsin. Condi-
tions in the paper industry, it is re-
dubious as at present and it is said
that the constantly depicting water
power streams throughout paper max
ing districts in both the east and the
west are adding daily to the threaten
ing aspect.
Several weeks ago manufacturers
were declaring that the lack of rain
would soon make wood pulp worth its
weight in gold. Today they are claim
ing that even for it's weight in gold
the wood pulp in a few weeks more
will not be obtainable.
Wood pulp mills of the Fox and
Wisconsin river valleys are at present
running at less than half capacity, and
several of them are shut down entire
1y because of lack of water. The
wood pulp mills of this state and
of the total required by paper mills of
thse two states. Wisconsin and Mime
sofa paper manufacturers are making
heavy demands on wood pulp mills in
the east and in Canada.
The Spanish River Pulp company at
Espanola, Canada, controlled by E. A
EdmOnds of Appleton, announced to-
day that its production has been cut to
one-ha1f the capacity of the plant
owing to the low water conditions in
the Spanish river.
1--WE are turning away all the way
from half dozen to fifteen telegraphic,
telephone and mail orders for print
paper every day." said the manager of
one of the largest print paper mills in
the Fox river valley today.
