stand why the defeated stalwart is
now whooping 'er up for the republi-
can ticket. Why, because every man
on the ticket is q republican, and be-
cause we all have vivid recollections
of the last democratic administration.

Close to the Ton.

In the August Dacotah Magazine,
Walter Edward Harris, of Washing
ton, ID. c., quotes some figures of
which every loyal South Dakotan
should be proud. They are all about
South Dakota children and schools
and money, and as he gets them
from the national bureau of edu-
cation, their corrections cannot be
questioned. From them the follow
ing facts are evolved:
Line up the forty-six states accord
ing to the amount OF money expend-
ed for educational purposes, based
upon the taxable property Of each,
and South Dakota is found fifth from
the top. The state OF Washington
heads the list by expending for her
public schools 1876 on each 800 OF
true valuation of all her taxable pro-
perty. Utah follows with "a cents;
Massachusetts,, 1872 cents; Colorado,
80 cents; South Dakota taking fifth
place with 1873 cents. Isn't that
climbing some?
South Dakota's annual expendi-
ture for her public schools is s2,512,-
8l8. She has more than 1lO, 900 child
rem enrolled with an average yearly
attendance Of lO4 days each. Mr..
Harris says South Dakota schools are
frequently discussed at the National
Bureau of Education and the system
Is much admired for its effectiveness. =

The provisions of the primary law
tangled In Stanley county with the
provisions of the general law in the
matter ofcounty commissioners. The
primary required the nomination Of
such officers by the primary in June,
and the general law required re-
apportionment OF the commissioner

meeting of the commissioners. The
result Is that one Of the candidates
nominated is left In q district of q
different number, than that in which
lie was nominated, and even worse
for him within the boundaries Of a
district in which q hold over member

MUCH MOISTURE.
Plenty of Rain and Some Floods
Promised for June.

The weather for June is predict
ed by Peter r. Smith as follows:
The storm wave of the last of
May will disappear before June I,
leaving in its passage several days
of fair, cool weather. About the
4th in western parts the tempera-
ture will grow warmer, cloudiness
will increase, and about the 5th or
9th conditions will be matured for
storm wave which will move east,
widening and also growing strong
er as it advances. Many sections
will be visited by much rain, high
winds; electric displays, and hail
will materialize in many places.
A cool wave will follow the dis
tured period on the 9th or 10th.
Local rains will develop about
the 18th, 18th and 18th. In addi-
ton to other disturbing factors the
moon fulls on the 18th, which will
add force to the disturbance. At
the close Of these rains a change
to cooler weather for day or two
will prevail.
On the 10Th, 18th and 18th rains
will be on transit daily, attended
by much thunder and lightning.
The atmosphere about this period
of June is as a general rule charg-
ed with moisture, producing in
many localities what is commonly
called June floods.
Local rains will be on passage
on the 2Ist, 22d, 23rd, and cath.
Within this period of disturbance
we may reasonably expect much
electrical activity.
The last period of disturbance
will be central about the 28th or
29th of the month, which will con-
tinue into July.

HARMFUL FLIES WITH US AGAIE.
Prudent HOusekeepers Make Careful
Preparations TO Exclude Them.

The harmful unnecessary pest,
the house fly, makes its annual
advent, and housekeepers are busy
making preparations to exclude it
from their homes.
Medical science, which has done
SO much to eradicate germs and
eliminate contagion, is still batfled
by the fly, the greatest known
breeder of disease and distributor
of germs.
Though biologists have studi-
ed the habits of the fly, discover
ed why 1t can walk on on its head,
counted the exact number of hairs
on its legs and ascertained that il
Is stupid, Cannibal insect OF the
deleterious type, they have failed
to find any means of exterminating
it.
Housekeepers must still be both
cred and menaced by millions of
flies, which have an equal liking
for the sugar bowl and garbage
pail, and enter the house carrying
filth from stables, markets and
disease-intected places.
The old exterminatorys will be
used again this summer-screenes,
fly-traps, sticky paper and poison
all disagreeable expedients
which do not seem to diminish
the nuisance.
These play no useful part in ma
lures economy, and to all intents
and purposes their invention has
added to the aggravation, annoy
ance and disease.
The cold, damp spring has post
poned the flies appearance but in
dications are that they will be as
numerous this summer as ever.

AUTO TAX TO MAINTAIN ROADS
Former Governor Brown Advocates
That Assessment be Imposed.

Anent the movement for good
roads in Maryland, and the trips
being made by the Commission for
conferences with the people in diff
ferent localities, former Governor
Frank Brown declared Monday
that good roads were something
that Maryland, or any other State,
would be unable to maintain unless
heavy tax was imposed on auto
mobiles.
Zone of the biggest problems
that confronts this country" said
former Governor Brown, Hs the
maintenance of good roads. So
destructive are automobiles that
an international congress has been
called to meet in Paris in October,
when the matter will be consider
ed.
Here at home an annual tax of
SIPS ought to be levied against
automobiles, S. of which should
be paid to each of the 25 counties
and $40 to Baltimore Oily. | am
told, and believe it is correct,
that automobiles have now to pay
S. for a license that entities them
to a perpetual franchise. This is
ridiculous.
These automobiles are known
to be the greatest menace in exist
ence to good roads and license of
SIPS would, | believe, be a very
moderate one under the circum-
stances.
when the Legislature meets
this should be one of the first
problems taken up, for it is use
less for the State to spend mil
lions in building roads that will
be torn to pieces almost as soon as
they are put down.
Abroad highways that have
stood the wear and tear of CEN
turtles of travel are literally torn
to pieces by the big automobiles.

pay for the damage they do by

$50 GOLD PIECES QUOTED AT SIS
Unusually Fat Eagle and Absence of
lotto Put Premium on Coin.

Twenty-dollar gold pieces of the
original issue without the motto,
''In God We Trust" are now be-
ing quoted in Pittsburg as high as
SIS apiece.
Speculation in all such gold
coins, of the $50 and $40 denomi-
nation, seems to have become gen
eral since Congress decided to re-
store the motto. Collectors have
practically been besieging the
banks lately to get these coins,
and it Is stated that but few are in
circulstion.
The original issue of the motto
less $50 gold pieces was of such an
unusual character, the eagle being
so fat that the coins could not be
stacked, that an almost immediate
effort was make to get them back
following the corrections of the
dies. The coins put out afterward
stack all right. but now that the
motto is to be restored it is believ-
ed that all such gold pieces will
eventually be withdrawn from cir
Culation.
At the Mellon National, the
Fl. It National, the Union Nation
al and the Pittsburgh Trust Com
pany banks yesterday it was stat
ed that practically all of the origi-
nal $40 gold pieces without the
motto have been grabbed up by
collectors and spectators. When
premium was first put on this
coin a young Pittsburgh bank en-
Ploye got hold of quite a bunch
of the $50 pieces ane took them to
New York, selling them on the
curb there for from $40 to $50.

hundred dollars in this way.

time. Indeed at the present rapid
rate OF growth of the New Jersey
metropolis the date of the made
quacy of the supply to the demand
is within measurable distance. 1t
IS therefore proposed to purchase
the remainder of the PequannOck
Valley at once, while it can be Sc
sured at a reasonable price, instead
of waiting until need of it is i'm
peratively urgent and the price of
land has risen several fold. That
is sound policy. When it is known
that a thing must be done it is
wisdom to do it whenever it can
be done to the best advantage.
There are those who believe that
t would have been cheaper in
dollars and cents for New York to
acquire many years ago a much
greater extent of land in the Croton
Valley than to wait until the last
moment and then spend vast sums
on high priced land to protect its
water supply from contamination.
The forestry feature of the case,
moreover, is one which should
command wide attention at this
time, when the conservation of our
resources 0 woods and waters is
being SO seriously considered and
is seen to be of SO great and urgent
importance. In addition to secur-
ing sufficient land for its water
supply and for protecting the same
from pollution, moreover, New
ark plan is to utilize the water
shed as a forest preserve, by retain
ing the present forest growth and
by planting thousands of young
trees on the now treeless expanses.
In this way it will actually in
crease the available supply of
water by preventing loss through
evaporation, and it is believed that
by an intelligent system OF cutting
and culture it can derive a certain
revenue from the land from wood
as we'll as water. That is an ex-
ample which other cities owning
extensive watersheds might pro-
ftably emulate, instead Of doing
as our own water surveyors did
few years ago, when they started
to convert the Croton region into
a treeless Sahara.

WATERSHEDS FOR FORESTS.

The recent proposal of the city
OF Newark concerning the enlarge
ment and improvement of its
watersheds in the PequadnoCk
Valley contained some suggestions
worthy of consideration by all
other communities which control
their own water supplies, and also
by all who are interested in the
preservation and increase of forest
growths. They will doubtless APP
peal with peculiar force to Jersey
City, which has Just Won tedious
and costly lawsuit which had been
entaiied upon it through its adop-
ton years ago of plan of water
supply actly opposite to that of
Newark. Newark acquires own
ership of its water sources, with a
considerable extent of land, and of
course has ever.since had them un-
der its own control. Jersey City,
on the contrary, depended upon a
contractor to provide it with water.
The result has been unsatisfactory
to Jersey City, especially in the
matter of keeping the water free
from contamination, and the NUM-
cipality has been compelled to con-
duct legal proceedings to insure
the purity of its supply. 1t has
won its suit, but there is no GER
tainty that it will not at some
future time be compelled to renew
its appeal to the courts.
Newark, free from such troubles,
realizes that its present watershed
is not sufficient to supply it for all

Cigar Business Booming.

The wallOping that has been
recently administered to old King
Alcohol in the South and middle
West is going to be a good thing
for the cigar and tobacco bust
ness, said travelling salesman
just in from a long trip. You
would naturally think that wiping
out so many saloons would have a
very serious effect on the cigar
business, but it is we'll known that
selling cigars is a secondary con-
sideration in those places.
I'm every town that l have Wis
tied Since it went dry at the April
election l have found that for
every saloon that closed a retail
cigar store opened, and the store
quickly became the successors of
the saloon as the social centre of
the villages and small cities.
The men who congregate there
are smoking better cigars than
they got in the saloons and are
smoking more OF them. The
wholesale dealer, who is the best
judge would rather have the trade
of one retail cigar store than two
saloons any day."
