SUNSHINE.

Dakota sunshine does not differ
materially from that of other locali-
ties, or, at least, we do not think so,
because it. comes from the same fac
tory where, it is believed uniform
quality is maintained. But, when
delivered, owing to location, the alb
sence of manufacturing centers, and
perhaps other causes, Dakota sun
shine has a quality Of it's own. We
are not concerned, however, so much
with comparing our variety with that
elsewhere as we are to compare it's
presence and it's absence.
Sunshine takes the shine off of a
good many things, but it puts on far
more than it takes off. 1t paints the
landscape in royal hues, transforms
the misshapen oddities of nature into
it's chief glories; transmits ice fields
into limpid streams; prints it's kisses
on the cheeks of varied fruits and
forces the right amount of sugar and
acid through their flesh. But more
than these, and thousand other good
offices, sunshine puts brightness in
the eye and asong in the heart. When
there's sunshine men forget their sor-
rows and troubles. When it's absent
men pine and mode, and succeed by
an effort. Dakota sunshine, how we
love it,

The new enactments which will I'M
doubleday be demanded of the legis-
lature, which conyeneS January H.
1903, are an immigration department
and a Two cent passenger rate.
Regardless Of the extensive adyer-
tlslng which the state has received
the past season through the opening
OF Iripp county to settlement it will
be borne in mind that this advertising
was only sectional and temporary
and there will be another concerted
attempt made to establish the Off ce
of immigration commissioner and en-
dow it with fund to work with.
The only progress made was to
make the secretary of the board of
agriculture land commissioner with
out salary or fund to eXpend for ad-
vertisng purposes
There is little being said about a
two-cent passenger rate bill, but it is
expected that it will be among the
early bills introduced at the coming
session, and as both the former pro
gresSives and stalwarts are publicly
committed to such a measure, it will
hardly meet with active opposition.
