SOCIALISM I'M THE COLLEGES.

ID RESIDENT ELIOT Of Harvard Univer-
4 sity, remarks that it is not true that the
universities and colleges of the country arc be-
coming "hot beds Of Socialism as has been as
serted Undoubtedly the view of the Harvard
president is correct The mere fact that mum
Der of students form a club for the purpose OF
studying Socialism does not mean that all those
students are to become converts 10 the doctrine.
Socialism gains what strength it possesses
from the fact that il holds that all the evils OF
civilization are the results of capitalism, and as
there are many evils in civilization and always
have been. the Socialists can make out strong
case in attack.
1t is, however when they seek to apply the
remedy-and they are not all clear upon the rem
edy, except vague sort of suggested co-opera-
tive commonwealth, that they run up against
many obstacles. Socialism assumes an ideal man,
one that does not exist, and If does not take
sufficient count of selhshness that plays so prom-
nent part in human nature. II all men were
good and right and true Socialism might do The
Socialists may claim that capitalism is response
bic for the ills of men. but we think that consd-
cradle natural depravity always has existed III

BRYAN AND rHE CONSERVATIVES.

q OLONEL BRYAN seems TO be reconcled
- to the loss of large part of the radical
vote that supported him during his previous cam
a vigorous fight against Bryan With Debs as
their nominee the Socialists are waging war on
both the old parties but they will secure most OF
their acccssions from the former Democratic and
Populistc followers OF Bryan
TO counteract these certain losses. the Demo
Gratis have been HFing TO enlist the hearty sup
port OF the old line Democrats. but while many
OF these may return to the fold others will not
vote for Mr.. Bryan
It is reported in New York that former Senator
Hill will take the stump for the Democratic can
didate. and there are many indications that some
of those reactionaries and conservatives in the
Democratic party who have been hidden Tor
some time arc coming to light They are swal-
lowing BRYAN, and al the same time boosting the
reactonary State tickets that have been noni-
mated in the Eastern States by those who are not
in sympathy with the Bryan idea.
An illustration Of ibis is in Delaware, where
the old element is running the Democratic cam
paign and supporting the State ticket while It IS
touching lightly ON MIR. Bryan. The national
candidate is receiving no support from the
mouthpiccc of the reactionarios and hints have
been given that Mr.. John G. GRAY should not talk
too much during the campaign. The objection to
Mr. GRAY. who is one of the most energetic cam
naigners in the party is because MIR. Gray is re-
garded as very close 10 Mr. BRYAN and naturally
would say good words for the Nebraskan. Those
who-eriticisc Mr. GRAY want Mr.. Bryan concealed
for the campaign

UNITED STATES AND THE BALKINs.

IT HE United States has no particular interest
in the military and political movements in
the Balkans. which threaten, if carried to their
logical consummaton, to change the map OF that
section of Europe.
Our interests, commercial and otherwise, with
Bulgaria. which has declared its independence
and with Bosnia and herzegovina, which Austria
proposes formally TO annex very small. The
and imports between the United States and Bul-
gara are less than half million dollars yearly.
From Bosnia and Herzegovina large amount Of
sheep and goat skins come to this country The
interests at stake are largely European and for
this reason the State Department which has not
vet been officially advised of the developments, is
not seriously interested.
If Bulgaria succeeds in obtaining her inde-
pendence, official notification to that effect doubt
less will be received from the authorities there,
and formal recognition OF the new government
will be given by the State Department, il this is
accorded by the European powers.
Now that the summer season is finished. the
Board Of Trade is again becoming very active,
and the movement to.form a Peninsula trade or
ganization is taking shape. President Maclean
has appointed committee of energetic men, who
may be expected TO bring the different towns and
cities OF the Peninsula into closer relationship
Recently several towns have formed associations
and the agit9tion for federation of these organ-
zstions is bearing fruit The city Of Wilmington
and the towns Of the Peninsula will be mutually
benefited by the movement

alton was made for the game as
they did not decide to 90 until
late Friday. The boys are sched-
uled for a game with Quinn At tho
Cottonwood celebration Saturday.
They are practicing for this game
and promise to return with 4 differ
ent story than the one they had to
tell of the game with the county

message informing him of the
death of his little twelve year old
son. The boy was playing with
several companions, and seeing q
low hanging wire sprang up and
seized it for a swing. He was
killed instantly by the heavy

fortunate boy is we'll known by q

pie who reside in this locality, and
was acquainted in a business way
with some of the people of the
town.

Bad River Valley

Did you ever look from a car

stretch of country lying between
Philip and Fort Pierre, and reflect
upon the fact that the Bad river
valley presents one of the most
attractive bits of Gods great out

~ winding ~ any you ever saw,
and the willows that fringe it's
banks are ~ green Is the heavy
cloak of pines spread along a
mountain side. Beyond the green
trees your eye rests with sort of
tranquil wonder on the undulatinR,
never ending sweep of brown
prairie. You find yourself trying
to imagine what lies beyond, JUS,
- you looked out to sea whom a
youngster, and wondered where
tho ships went to when they dis.
appeared from sight over the
hill."

ours is beginning to look almost
like back East" in tho signs o1
agricultural activity tshows along
it, course. Patches of corn and
small grain fash into sight here
and there - the train rushes along,
Close cut hay bottoms and Ions
stacks of hay are in evidence
everywhere. More than oil thit
ranches and farms, with recen,
improvements, speak of the grow
ing prosperity of the valley.

Stanley County Democracy Comes
Alive

The democratic candidates for
county office mot in Fort Pierre
last week and took the initial steps
in forming county organization.
Under the primary law the candi-
dates select the chairman of the
county central committee, and the
meeting of the hopeful was held

Murphy of Fort Pierre was select
ed for the position.
The new chairman will select q
secretary of the committee; it will
be moved, seconded and carried
that the organization buy another
bushel of Bryan buttons and the
campaign will be on. From that
time on there will be no monkey
business, and the game will be
played for keeps.
Besides the candidates in attend
ance from the eastern part of the
county, Anderson Michael of this
place and Dan Bierwagon of Hard
ingrove, were present at the meet

Clawsoa Escapes aad IS Recap.
tuned

Last Thursday night George
Clawson, who had just been
sentenced to ten years in the state
penitentiary by Judge Boucher,
escaped from the county Jail at
Fort Pierre. He managed to re-
move = bolt from the door and
simply walked away when no one
was looking. Word was 1t once
sent throughout the county and to
various police authorities in the
state to keep q lookout for the
prisoner. Early Sunday morning
he was captured near the head of
Frozenrnan creek, about ten miles
from Hayes. A homesteader in
that locality saw Clawson and held
him up with a shot gun. When
the sheriff arrived he was still
standing guard over his prisoner.
Clawson was taken back to Fort
Pierre and is now at Sioux Falls,
serving his sentence.
Clawson, during the eight
months since he was first arrested,
has gained something of a reputa-
ton Is = jail breaker. He broke
out OF the Philip calaboose and
was later captured in Michigan at
his old home. After being lodged
in Jail at Fort Pierre he broke the
paddock of his cell door, but was
unable to get farther in his at
tempt to gain liberty. This last
escape added to the ones we have
mentioned, establishes q pretty
good record for one prisoner, The
likelihood is that he will be up
against = pretty stiff proposition
during his sojourn At the Stone
House on the Hill.

to be found in there, but we had
fairly good water right by our
camp and up in the hills We found
innumerable springs. Some
authors whose writings l have read,
state that the Bad Lands are full
of rattle-snakes but we saw only
one which l killed with q few taps
on the head with the snapper end
of the buggy whip, and he was
out on the level basin and not in
the Bad Lands proper at all. All
sorts of stories have been told of
bears abounding in these lands.
This is probably true as the Bad
Lands and the Black Hills are but
foothills of the Rockies, but it has
been eleven years since a bear was
seen in these regions, though
wolves are trapped here every
winter and they are the big timber
kind that it is best to keep away
from, too. We camped our last
night on the banks of the Bad
river, about fifteen miles from
home and here the mosquitoes
nearly ate us up.
We all laugh At the Bad Lands
but let me impress one fact upon
you, the man who named the Bad
Lands was in a fit of the blues and
l fairly believe if some one would
start summer hotel up there, lay
out roads and provide Transports
tion and then boost the thing a
little, the now so-called Bad Lands
would become a garden spot of the
world.
