HIGH SCHOOL MEETS DEFEAT.

Brookings' only hope for state
football championship went glimmer-
ing Thanksgiving day, when the high
school team was defeated by the
Mitchell team at Mitchell. The score
was IL to G. Two sixty yard runs,
one the result of a fumbled punt and
the other from blocked kick, gave
Mitchell her two touchdowns. There
was no such fluke about the Brook
ings touchdown, they carried the ball
straight down the field for ninety
Yards by series of terrific line
pllnges and short end runs. The
Brookings line played a great game,
but the team was handicapped by a
light, inexperienced back field. Had
the team remained intact all season
there is no question but what they
would have been state champions.
We get the following account of the
game from the Mitchell Republican: {:
''On the tossup Brookings chose the
east goal and kicked off to Mitchell.
The locals at once started series of
line bucks and short end runs
which carried them at once into their
opponents territory. On Brookings'
i0yard line Mitchell lost the ball
on downs and after futile attempt
at line smash the visitors punted
the ball we'll up near the opposite
goal. On account of a tumble Brook
ings recovered the ball and punted
again. This time the ball was blocked
and Vassar securing the ball made a
sixty yard run placing the ball within
three yards Of the Brookings goal
Dickson carried the ball over for a
touchdown and Belts kicked goal
After the first touchdown Brookings
displayed her football ability and with
a series OF terrific Off tackle plays
and line bucks speedily carried the
ball down the field and over the line
for touchdown. The attempt at goa

Kick was successful. At this period
of the game the Mitchell line seemed
weak and allowed the visitors to pene-
trate it almost at will. The strong
defense of the back field was ali that
saved Brookings from scoring again
at this time. Had the line not rallied
in the second half the result would
have been disastrous to Mitchell The
half ended with the score D to 6.
AT the beginning of the second half
both teams were determined to score.
Mitchell seeming to have the advan-
tag in advancing the ball Punting

Storer had the lead on his opponent.
Mitchell's ends seemed to have the

the game, neither team being able to
score again. Mitchell came very near
scoring on one occasion by carrying
the ball to Brookings' 5-yard line when
they were held for downs. At no time
in this half was the Mitchell goal in
any great danger The game ended
with the ball in Brookings territory.
THE contest throughout was very

able to- hold the ball. This was prob

field throughout the entire game.

SEASON CLOSES.

Tht Thanksgiving day game at HUI.
ron closed the season for the college
football team. The past season is the
poorest one the s. d. s. c. has ex.
perienced in stIeral years, but condi-
tions over which nc one had control
were in the main responsible. The
team was taught good football, they
showed that in the North Dakota and
st. Thomas games and that they did
not play it in the other contests was not
the fault of Coach Saunderson. Cough.
lin was injured in the Fargo contest
and failed to recover his usual form
in the remaining games. This not
only weakened play mechanically but
also had it's effect on the spirit of the
team. This was we'll illustrated in
the Yankton game, when after Cough
lin was injured and taken out in the
second half, Yankton made seventeen
of her twenty-one points. The injury
to- Charlie Johnson, the fullback. at
Fargo was a bad blow to the team.
1t kept him out of the game the rest
of the season and Coach Saunderson
was unable to find satisfactory sub
stitute. The arrangement of the sche-
dule was another disadvantage, and
we hope to see 1t remedied another
year. The games with the state col.
leges. which we were particularly de-
sirous of winning, were the last on
the schedule. end when they were
reached the team was all broken up
by the injuries received in the hard
st. Thomas and North Dakota games.

ELECTION EXPENSES.

We were looking over the county
commissioners proceedings last week
and figured up part Of the cost to
the county for the November election,
sS925O was paid to the judges of the
election, $500 for return of ballot
boxes and s62 for rent on election
day. Besides this there was the print
ing of the ballots, notices Of election
and numerous other smaller expenses
which brings the total up to quite a
little sum. But then, we guess it was
worth every cent of it.

A WORTHY ENTERPRISE.

o. A. Brictson, manufacturer of the
Brictson auto tire tread, informs us
that his business during the past
season has been very satisfactory, in
fact he has had more orders than he
has been able to take care Of, but
during the coming year he will be in
shape to handle and expects to have
ten times the volume of business en-
joyed this year. During the winter he
will devote all of his time to adver'
tising his tire tread and will have an
exhibit at all of the auto shows, in
cluding the big show in New York
City in January.
This enterprise means much to
Brookings in a business way, employ
ing as it will a large number Of men
in the very near future, and we hope
to see it succeed beyond Mr.. Brict
sons fondest expectations.

PROTECTION MUST STAND.

Andrew Carnegie's phenomenal sue
cess as manufacturer of steel is
the best of proof that he is a master
in all that pertains to that industry,
including tariff operations. He has
fed and fattened to an outlandish de-
gree on tariff benefits. He undoubted-
ly feels deep personal interest in
the welfare of a country that contains
SO many institutions bearing his name,
and it is reasonable to suppose that
he is interested, also, in the welfare of
the great corporation whose bonds, to
an extent of $3O0,OOO,OOO, constitute
his chief shield against the encroach-
ments of poverty.
When Mr.. Carnegie suggests, there
fore that the tariff OH steel products
should be removed, and that the law
should be framed to tax imports con-
sumed wholly by the rich, it is nat
ural that some of the countrymen
should exclaim: The laird is unco'
guild" They remember, perhaps, tes-
timony and interviews in former years
in which Mr.. Carnegie expressed diff
ferent views. He does not need pro.
lection now, and he can afford to
advocate tariff for revenue only;
but it was not always thus.
There are industries in the United
States which must be protected, if
they would thrive and give employment
to American labor. The development
of home industries by securing to them
the home market is a settled policy,
which the people have approved as
late as November 3. 1t is still the
desire of the people to promote the
production in the United States of all
articles that can be produced here,
in order that this country may not
be dependent upon the outside world
or use. Prosperity has come from
the enforcement of this policy and
the home market has grown to be
worth more than all the rest of the
world.
! The newly elected president points
out hat times are getting better, and
he counsels against violent actions of
any kind. Steadfastness, and not a
headlOng rush, is the wise course to
pursue. There is no need of radical
tariff legislation, and still less of ex.
pertinent. Those who think that pros
perity would be fastened by a whole
sale reduction in the tariff are likely
to forget that business would suffer
during the process of adjustment to
changed conditions. The country
needs rest, and rot agitation; a breath
ing spell and not quick changes. The
recovery of good times Is a slow and
laborious process, in which Legislators
can accomplish the most good by keep
ing their hands off. Tariff revision is
under way, and the job must be com
pleted; but the readjustment of in
equalities, rather than the adoption Of
new and radical departures in ole
schedules. should be the rule. Certain
ly there should be no move toward
the abandonment of protection. The
people have made no such demand
but, on the contrary, they have ISSUED
a mandate that the protective policy
shall remain in effect.-Washingto

PRIMARY LAW
To STAND
With But Very Few Amend
mentS
CRAWFORD AND vtSStY FAVOR LAM
And Legislators Appear to be
of Same Mind

The state primary election law will
not be extensively revised by the legis-
lature which will meet at Pierre In
January. From Governor Crawford's
personal views it can be predicted
that he will not suggest any material
modification of the law and Governor
elect Vessey is understood to be in
agreement with him.
Governor Crawford has taken the
position that the law is the product of
careful and conscientious work and it
is not his opinion that 1t can be great
ly improved. 1t will be necessary to
repair one portion of the law which
was punctured by the supreme court.
That decision declared demonstrations
al the provision requiring fees from
candidates and it further made void
the authority given county COMMITTEES
| to select delegates to the quadrennial
conventions naming delegates to
national conventions, If there should
be no contest.
1t cannot be said now just what pro-
vision will be made for the selection
of delegates to the quadrennial nation
al conventions. 1t is desired to fix the
law in such way that when there Is
no contest over the nominations for
the presidency, the state will not be
put to the expense Of a primary to
select the delegates, and yet 1t is de-
sired to leave it in the hands of the
voters to decide when there Is a con-
test.
In comm onting upon an often heard
suggestion that the law should require
an alphabetical arrangement of candi-
dates, instead of leaving it to the
county auditors to give the advantage
of arrangement on the ticket to their
friends or faction, Governor Crawford
recently said:
Il do not take much stock in the
argument that it is great advantage
to appear first on the ticket. / am
convinced that the people do a great
deal more intelligent voting than they
are given credit for. In our primary
last year, Attorney General Clark ap
peared second in nearly every county
of the state and yet he received.
think, the largest majority given any
candidate. Finnerud and Thorson, can
; didates for national committeeman
were both Scandinavians and Finne
rud's name came first, yet Thorson had
one of the largest majorities."
Some have proposed that the law be
amended to- allow the grouping of can
didates under one caption, but this
has not found general favor It is
considered that it would be a constant
invitation to factionalism in parties
and would suggest prearranged un.
derstanding as TO the makeup Of the
groups. This would encourage a re.
turn to the days when tickets were
made up behind locked doors and
therefore is denounced by many as
not in keeping with the spirit of the

Deserved to Succeed.

A late matrimonial engagement is
said to be the outcome of a daring
piece OF repartee on the part OF a
young woman who has enjoyed the
reputation of being not only wit, but
beauty and belle as well. Although
quite young, she was known to have
declined the honor of matrimonial al
lance with several so-called catches,
and it began at last to be rumored
that he mind and heart were set on
one of her admirers who had not as
yet the temerity to come to the point.
However that may be, the young
man in question was her partner in an
assembly, and during the intermission
for supper was seated with her in a
sequestered nook, far from the mad
ding crowd. Apropos of something
that had been said, he asked her
laughingly if the report was true that
she had refused all the eligible men
in her set. She blushed wildly for
moment, then suddenly raised her
head, looked him full in the face, and
said, pointedly:-
Eyes, it is true-present company
excepted
1t is, perhaps, needless to state that
they remained in the "sequestered
nook" sometime. Rumor also has it
that the above conversation was over
heard by one Of the discarded suitors,
who forthwith gave it away
