BURTT ON STATE SCHOOLS.

Regents Report is Now in the Hands
of the State Printer.
Aberdeen, Oct. 22.-The Aber-
deem News has the following to say
of Judge Burt and his views on
the educational status of South Da-
kota:
In the report of Judge A. w. Burt,
regent Of education for the year end
ing June 80, 1908, which has just
gone into the hands of the state
printer, he pays the following elo-
quent and just tribute to the edu-
cational institutions of the state OF
South Dakota:
There is nothing more certain
than the fact that the grand state
of South Dakota is growing by leaps
and bounds. Her wealth is increas-
ing by many millions every year. Her
business relations are expanding.
Her farms are producing the bread
and meat that feed the world. Her
population of bright pushing men and
women is increasing. Her boys and
girls are coming TO the front by
thousands and demanding that they
be accorded opportunities to be good,
thrifty, intelligent American citizens,
alike an honor to the state and ma
ton. They appeal to us for higher
education. for refined and happy
homes and for the enrolling and ele-
walton of every branch of labor and
every line of business found within
her borders. Large sums of money
are asked for. Every dollar appor-
tionad for our educational ,insWt
| buttons is far better than money
at interest and returns to the state
an increase one hundred fold.
South Dakota is rich and her in
fluence is powerful and she is able
to have what she wants. Her boys
and girls oncoming in ever increas-
Ing numbers. must be educated and
trained more highly than their faith
ers and mothers. The mighty rush
of discovery and invention and intel
lectual progress the world over
warns us that If the youth of this
state are to successfully cope with
the strenuous affairs of this life in the
years to come, they must be educat-
ed and equipped for the work. Pol
1ticians may go up and down the
country asserting that extravaganza
IN expenditure has been sanctioned
and allowed, but beg to state that
every school that has been establish
ed by this state, every appliance and
apparatus in he various schools there
or are so much assets and property of
the commonwealth, bringing back
as the fruition OF this expenditure,
trained, educated, refined, happy,
progressive, pushing, God fearing
people, an honor to their state, their
nation, and their Cod"

The gold standard has "slain" no
one, nor did it write the future
IN blood" nor did it destroy our
homes nor forcclose the farm mort
gage, nor did 1t close the dis
trict school; on the contrary, It has
proved the sound and solid foundation
OF widespread prosperity, leading to In
divldual progress and happiness, aided
In paying Off the farm mortgage and
expanding the countrys educational fa-

1t has brought such prosperity to
our country as was never known before.

President Roosevelt, instead Of rep
resenting the spirit Of war;" stands
before the world the greatest ex-
emplar Of international peace in his
generation. History will in full
season award him the titles he
has Justly won, and the greatest OF
these will be "The Peacemaker," In

him In 1904. Under President Roosa-

taken its place In the front rank Of

continuing these policies.

GOVERNMENT MUST OWN RAILWAYS
The Answer in 1908.

The broad meaning Of Candidate
Bryans remarks on this subject is
that railway regulation by statute
law is impossible, and that "gov-
ernment ownership" is the only
remedy for transportation abuses
The enactment Of the Federal Rate Law
has totally disproved the claims Of
Candidate Bryan and wildly displayed

Answer this for yourself Do you
know of any spot in the United States
where the spirit of~1776 is dead and
forgotten and the Fourth Of July a
meaningless date on the calendar?
On the other hand the humblest citi-.

permcating the entire body polite.

Southern Hills Mining Ncws.


Hiram l.. Burch is we'll satisfied
with the showing made in his recent
work on his mining ground near
Mystic. He has been sinking shaft
on porphyry which at the surface
showed strong naturalization. His
object in sinking was to get a suni-
cient face to obtain ar average of
the gold values containei and his re-
cent assays have gone rs high as So
and $40 in gold to the ton.
He intends to continue his develop
ment at this point as he has reason
to believe that there is Urge body
Of high grade ore in tI vicinity He
expects to encounter 1t avg against
the porphyry dyke and is the opin-
ION that the latter gets richness
from the adjacent ore

being obtained at the s abby mill
at Rockford. They arc setting an
extraction OF 95 per GER the val
ues on the plates and is is un-
doubtedly the largest sa: %, made in
I any exclusively amalga srion plant
in the Black Hills. The .;.ilings car
ry away practically nothing Of value,
their assay value being but few
cents.
This large saving is attributed to
the installation OF Mr.. Bakers idea
in the method OF reducing ore. His

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 22.-From terri
torial days the southeastern counties
of the state have held a large part
Of the legislative strength in both
houses on account of population. If
the next census Of the state confirms
the figures as shown on basis of
school population, which are furth-
er backed BY the returns of the state
census of 1905, as compared with the
census returns of 1900, there will be
shifting Of representatives in the near
future.
AS the constitution limits the
membership of the house to 1876, and
that of the senate to As as a maxi
mum membership, the newer sec
lions of the state to get their share
Of representation based upon pop,
lation must make inroads upon the
older counties.
The next apportlonment under the
constitution will be at the session of
1911, following the census of 1910.
From that time on there will be sew

ment is made to change the condl-
tions to give the newer sections what
they are entitled to.

yached from the Pacific fleet last Jul
y and has since spent most of the
ime in South Bend, Ind, his native
lty, awaiting the 62nd birthday
which sounds the knell for all naval
.eIoes. Admiral Dayton owns a fine

Admiral Dayton was born in South
