Last Sprinq-and Now.

Last spring, when the willows were in
bloom along the banks of the beautiful,
winding Otter river as it ripples its way
toward the fine stone arched bridge of
which Middlebury is so proud, lady
from distant shore waXed eloquent
over the natural prettiness of the scene
shown from the bridge. She was a
much-travelled lady she had seen other
lands, with all their beauties; her taste
was good, her Judgment excellent. She
thought and she said that the view from
tina: bridge was superior to almost any
thing she had ever seen.
Well, that was last spring. Our fair
tourist is not here now. 1t is well that
this is so; for her artistic emotions would
be shocked by the disillusionment of the
dream. The willow branches are there,
but they rattle gauntly in the breeze,
like Trim spectres, and the garbage be-
meath the trees stands forth revealed
the old cans, the heaps of waste paper,
the broken piping, the Shiny ooze of
accumulated disorder-are all in sight.
They were all there before, but kindly
nature with its green and yellow decora-
ton of the bygone spring and summer
time had covered them up. Perhaps
some day, when dreams come true, ma
ture may be assisted, and this ugliness
removed. Let us hope 80.

Over Recent Campaign

Hot Springs. Va. Nov 1l.-Presi-

Frank II. Hitchcock had II long talk yes
terday over the many phases Of the last
campaign. 1t was the first opportunity
for such an extended and cordial eX
change of views. and at its conclusion
both Taft and Hitchcock expressed
their pleasure in the interview.
1--WE chucked each other under the
chin and enjoyed many things in the
campaign that were decidedly serious
before" said Taft. He added that
Hitchcock had told him many inter-
esting things that he had not known
respecting the prediction work, and
Hitchcock said that he had the pleasure
of informing Taft that the campaign
had been conducted, so far as he was
concerned, without the giving of single
promise or pledge which would bind
Taft as pre- Sidcnt. either in exchange
for personal service in the campaign
or for contributions To the Republican
cause.
Mr.. Taft was told about the camS1ian
fund. which Hitchcock is to make pub
lie in detail in few days. Hitchcock
said that this fund was smaller in its
aggregate than any similar fund since
the record Of such funds had been kept
and that it was collected from every

THE COUNTY OPTION
Will Garry With 1t Much Election Elk
pense, If Nothing More.

The Legislature of South Dakota
at it's iao1 session provided for the
submission to the electors of South
Dakota the proposed law relating to
County Option in the matter of the
sale OF intoxicating liquors. The
proposed measure is chapter lT9 of
the Laws of 1907. 1t provides in sub
stance that each year the question
whether Intoxicating liquors shall be
sold must be submitted to the voters
as the law at present requires: and
contains a further provision, how
ever, that at any regular general cleo
ton, meaning the biennial election
held in November every other year,
the question as to whether intoXicat-
ing liquors shall be sold in county
may be voted upon providing that a
petition asking that such question be
submitted and signed by not less
than ten per cent # the qualified
electors OF each county be filed with
the county auditor at least sixty days
before each election. If, at the gem
eral election following, a majority of
votes cast upon the question be
against the sale Of Intoxicating liquor
in the county, then no permits for the
sale OF liquor anywhere in the coun-
ty. nor i'll any township, town or city
in said county, from and after the lst
day of July succeeding said election,
shall be issued. But if a majority
shall be in favor of the granting of
said permits, then the question shall
be submitted as now provided in each
township, town or city where Il IL
cense may be desired, and if the ma
]Orlty be in favor of the granting of
licenses, such permits may he granted.
However, at the next general election
the question must again be submitted
to the electors Of the county and
vote in favor Of the issuing of permits
had, otherwise it will be unlawful to
issue permits anywhere in the coun-
ty. The proposed law also provides
that at any time before the general
election in 1910 the question may be
submitted at a special election pro-
vided the necessary petition signed
by at least twenty per cent of the
qualified electors of the county shall
be filed with the county auditor. The
general law goes into effect immedi-
ately upon it's being favorably voted
upon and the result determined by
the official count.

RIGHTS CANNOT BE ABRIDGED.

The committee of union and pro-
gress, which organized and carried
out the recent successful revolution
in Turkey on the part of the Young
Turks, has issued a proclamation in
which it is set forth that the commit
tee regards the declaration of Bull
garian Independence and the inten-
tion Of Austria Hungary to annex the
occupied province of Bosnia and Fl er-
ZegOvina as a violation of the rights
Of Turkey. 1t therefore solemnly pro-
tests in the name of humanity against
the unfavorable attitude of Austria
Hungary and Bulgaria toward a peo-
pie which is progressing in the direc-
tiOn of liberty. In conclusion the
committee appeals to Europe against
'these attempts on the most sacred
rights of the nation.

LAND HUNGRY.

Two OF the strongest instincts of
human nature collect the crowds now
headed for the South Dakota land
drawing. Land hunger, like the gold
lust that drew Columbus across the
sea, keeps a million men securing the
west, the southwest and the north
west indefatigably in search of a rich
mine of fertility to call their own.
This hunger now turns them toward
the Trlpp county opening. 1t is rein
forced by the element of chance in
volved. Instead of betting two to one
on Bryan one can stake the price Of a
railroad ticket to Dallas on the land
drawing. How long" the chance is
cannot be known till the number of
ticket buyers is known. If former
openings are a fair guide the chances
for getting farm worth much more
than the 81 900 cash the government
will charge for it will be about one in
hundred. If the expenses of the
trip are $50, that means the gift value
of the prize must be $4,000 to make
the chance al even one.

FREE ADVERTISING
Indian Reservations Are Boosting South
Dakota Into Greater Prominence.

Sioux Falls Press: South Dakota
could afford to pay handsomely for
the advertising the state is getting
from the opening of Tripp county
lands
Advertisements are always worth
paying for.
II they are not paid for, then some
thing has been given for nothing.
South Dakota is not giving cent
for the advertising coming from the
registration for Tripp county lands,
and so it may be said that the state
has obtained great bargain.
Many of those taking part in the
land lottery are going to Chamberlain
to file the necessary papers. Most
OF those iourneying to Chamberlain
from the east cross the state from
Canton. Yesterday, for example, the
regular passenger train on this line
ran III two sections going each way.
All these people go through typical
South Dakota farm lands. From the
car windows they see generous farm
houses that follow only prosperity,
displays of corn hanging heavy on the
stalks and the story of bountiful
harvest in small grains told by stacks
dotting stubble fields.
Regulations are not easily changed.
People are prone to keep Impressions,
once they get them. They are likely
to be some years behind. Doubtless
there are many in states beyond the
Mississippi who still believe that
South Dakota is a part of the great
American desert, who imagine that
the farmers spend their days fighting
grass-hoppers or watching their crops
shrivel in hot winds.
But some scores of thousands are
now coming into the state aud they
cannot refuse to see that South Da-
kota is lavish with all her people, that
the soil is grateful to the plow and
generous to the husbandman.
Meanwhile the railroad companies
hauling the people are making money,
the people whp come are enjoying a
pleasant and informative outing and
the business men ofhalf dozen towns
are doing rushing business in eata-
bles. The advertising is thrown in.
1t is time for South Dakota to admit
that it is not a bad thing to have a
few Indian reservations,

OPINION DISBARS EGAN
The Supreme Court Disrobes George w.
Egan, Able Lawyer.

In the proceedings to disbar George
w. Egan, the republican nominee for
states attorney of Minnehaha county.
The opinion was written by Justice
Corson, and Justice Fuller. on ac-
count OF illness, took no part in the
proceedings, the hearing being before
Justices Corson and Haney. After
reviewing the fact of the conditional
admission of Egan last November
and the testimony which has been
generally spread over the state in the
different hearings in the case in re-
gard to the actions of Egan in the
Julia Ann O'Grady case, on which the
dlsbarment proceedings were based,
the court sums up in the following:
The conduct of the accused in this
case not only shows his uniitness to
be u member of this court, but shows
that his perceptions of the duties and
responsibilities of All attorney are
such as to render him All undesirable
associate of the members of a highly
honorable profession and dangerous
for clients who may ask his assistance
as an attorney.
While we cannot overlook the fact
that striking the name Of the accused
from the roll and revoking his liceuse
may result i'll serious consequences
to himself and family, we cannot be
unmindful of tie duty we owe to our
selves, the courts of the state, the
members of the bar and community
IN general. Such conduct as has been
shown in this case reflects not only
upon the attorney himself, but ser
lously reflects upon the court and the
members Of the bar. All the consid
Grafton that could be advanced in
favor Of the accused were ably pre-
sented by eminent counsel, but we
have failed to discover any extenu-
atlng circumstances attending this
remarkable transaction. To permit
the accused to longer remain an Off
WA
privileges accorded to an attorney
would be to lower the standard of
professional conduct and encourage
the younger members of the bar to
pursue course that cannot be recog-
nlzed Ill this court 1t has been the
aim OF this court to elevate the char
acter both morally and intellectually
of the members Of the bar and to re-
tain the accused longer as a member
of the bar would be doing an injustice
to ourselves, to the profession and to
the community. Unpleasant there
fore as is the duty, we must perform
it and strike from the roll of this
court the name of the accused and
cancel the license heretofore issued

SOUNDING ITS PRAISES
Farm Deposit. Create the Larger Share
of Money in Banks.

Huron Huronite South Dakota is
said to be the most properous state in
the union today. A statement which
is undoubtedly true. The develop
ment in this state has so far been
largely agricultural, manufacturing
has hardly been begun within the
boundaries of the state. For the past
ten years our soil has produced
abundantly, prices have been exceed
ingly high for every product of the
soil. Lands have steadily increased
in values and the owners of them
have become independently well off,
Every banker in the tie has large
number of farmer depositors, in fact
farm deposits today create the large
share of the money in South Dakota
banks. Under such conditions it is no
wonder that the story Of our prosper
ity has gone abroad and those who
once scoffed at South Dakota now lift
their voice in our praise.
