THINGS EDUCATIONAL
o. E. Browne, County Superintendent

The slush and water occasioned
by the melting snow has not SO SER
iously interefered with the atten-
dance in our rural schools as we had
anticipated 1t would, if we are to
Judge by the splendid attendance in
the schools visited the past week.
But it has caused considerable dis
turbance indirectly, as a very large
proportion Of the pupils, especially
the smaller ones, are barking with
colds". A little judicious warning on
the part of the teacher at this time
concerning carelessness in the mat
ter Of catching cold may prevent
sickness.
Certificates Of attendance for not
having missed any time from tardi-
ness nor absence for three months
have been issued this week to the
following persons: Julia Ford, Leon
Ford and Doris Waid, of Badger,
Miss Mooney, teacher; Jessie Black,
Of Mt. Vernon, Miss Myrtle King
teacher; Herbert Watson. of Pros
per, Miss Hoffstetter teacher, also
one library certificate to Elsie Krog-
mann same teacher.
The arrangements for DAWSON
County Institute have just been COM
pleted for the coming year. July 26
to August 6. We do not believe it
to be the best time of the year, but
was the best time left us that did
not conflict with Summer School.

which they have built up a business
of many years standing to give some
other concern an opportunity to go
ahead and manufacture the same
medicine. They would rather With
draw their business from South Da-
kota entirely than be forced to ac-
quiesce to such a law. The national
pure food law will cover all the re-
]quirements that the state needs for
the protection of it's people in the
purchase of pure drugs.

HELD OVERFLOW MEETING
A Great Sunday Night Audience More
Than Filled Baptist Church
Auditorium.

Rev. Mr.. Conant again spoke
four times at the Baptist church on
Sunday. The theme at the morning
service was this, Into Gethsemane
with Christ" Mr.. Conant gave a
careful exposition of the sorrows
and sufferings of the Christ as he
went through the agony in the Gard
en- of Gethsemane. He spoke of the
way in which Satan had tried to
block Gods plans from tie very
morning of creation and succeeded
in overcoming Adam. Then all
through the centuries Satan had
been holding sway until Christ came
and won where Adam failed but He
won at awful cost. In Getfsemane
the conflict took place and the vict-
DRY was gained, for there Christ
prayed that the Divine will might be
done, though he also prayed that
the cup might pass from Him. The
central fact in this sorrow, said Mr..
Conant, was the fear on the part of
our Lord that he would break down
utterly and die before he ever reach
ed the cross. Then it was that an
gels strengthened him so that he did
live in spite of the fact that his
agony forced the blood from it's nat
ural channels out through the pores
Of the body. Such agony for us ought
to be responded to by most loyal
service.
Mr.. Conant gave a most Impress
i've and helpful address to the Sun
day school which had a large atten-
dance.
In the afternoon at 8 o'clock a
large number gathered for the mems
meeting in the Baptist church. Mr..
Whitaker presided and after the
opening song service Mr.. Conant
spoke on the theme, us the Young
Man Safe. He pointed out the fact
that to be safe a young mar must
have on the safety suit, he must be
in an antiseptic condition, and he
must be loyal to that institution
which was divinely founded, the
church of the living God.

The supposition is that the two
cent rate for passenger fares will be
In force within a couple of weeks,
as both houses have passed bills de-
claring that the lower rate shall
prevail in this state. John Longstaff
wants to keep the record straight
on who is responsible for the two
cent rate, and declares that neither
Governor Crawford, Governor Yes
sey, Senator Kittredge are respon-
stble, but that it lies wholly with
five or six employees of the North
Western railroad living in Huron,
who, John asserts, were the main
men who pushed the candidacy of
Mr.. Crawford for governor and for
United States senator. Johns sup
position is that if Crawford had not
been elected governor the two-cent
rate would not have gotten into poll
tics. John wants to impress the
Northwestern officials that when
they are looking for the cause of
lower passenger rates that they can
come right to Huron and find the
men responsible working in the
Northwestern shops, AMI that the
road need not find fault with the
people because they have to sell
their railroad tickets cheaper.

The inebriate asylum is going to
be a bone of contention in the leg
islative session, undoubtedly. High
more claimed to have first discov-
cred the necessity of the asylum at
the present time, although it was
talked Of two years ago. but the
lieutenant governor had things
framed up before the legislative ses-
sion began, and was ready to drop
in the first bill locating it at High
more. Since then other aspiring
towns have come to the fore and are
anxious to become possessor of the
asylum in case it is given to any
town. Dell Rapids and our neigh
boring town Alexandria are addi-
ntional applicants for the place. With
the forces divided the chances are
very strong for there being no asy-
lum for the inebriates being estab-
Elished in South Dakota. And a good
many people are wondering if there
is really a need for it.

FOR JUVENILE

A correspondent at the state capt.
tai puts forth the statement that
a juvenile court bill is n of the
things the Legislature looks forward
to for a discussion shortly after the
members return from their rip
home. The correspondent makes he
following statement concerning TIL.
probabilities OF the Introduction o.
the measures:
Juvenile courts VIII come before
the legislative members as an issue
soon after they return from their
recess. a number of educators OF the
state are interesting themselves in
that and other matters. Their plan
does not so far include the creation
of a new judicial body for that pur-
pose, bat ~comprehends the placing
of duties of judicial officers in the
hands of county courts with power
to deal with juvenile %offenses. The
bill is yet merely theory, but will be
shaped up later and given to the
members to look over and pass up
on. The same forces are at work on
another proposition, which has for
its purpose a complete revision of the
educational laws of the state. In eff
feet it is for the creation of a COM
mission of five, to be composed of
three educators and two attorneys,
who are supposed to work without
pay, but to have five thousand dol
lars for expenses, such commission
to go into the matters of school af-
fairs thoroughly and to report a bill
at the next legislative session to COW
er their findings and attempt to get
school matters of the state upon a
better plane than they are supposed
to stand at the present time"

There Seems to be a difference of
opinion between Pure Food Commits
sioner Wheaton and the druggists
of the state as to the kind and ma
ture of a law should be passed with
reference to pure drugs. Wheaton
has had a bill introduced in the leg
islature which covers his ideas OF
what the law should contain and the
druggists association has also pre-
pared and caused a bill to be intro
duced along the lines they consider
are for the best interests of them
selves and the people. AS we un-
derstand the bill of the druggists
association it follows very closely to
the lines Of the national pure food
law, which of itself is sufficiently
strict as to make the drugs handed
out by the patent medicine compan-
les pure enough SO that the govern
ment has no objection to their be-
ing sold. The Wheaton bill COM
pels the medicine companies to place
their formula in plain words on the
bottle SO that its ingredients can
be readily understood. The drug
gists of the state are opposed to this,
for they see that with such condi-
lions imposed on the manufacturers
they will Withdraw their business
frompthe state. 1t is not for a me-
ment supposed that these manufaet-

and Crawford do not come into line
for this program there will be some
thing doing in the state in the flu
ture which will not be at all to
their liking. Senator Gamble ought
to be especially interested in this be-
cause his term will be the first to
expire, and because his popularity
is at a rather low ebb in the state
as it is. That Governor Vessey in
tends to treat both factions of the
party fairly is suggested by the fact
that Mr.. Richards did not include
his name in the warning, and is
further believed from the various
open hints which the new governor
has frequently given out"
1t commences to look, however,
that some of the appointments are
going to be deferred until the very
last moment-particularly in the
case of the board of regents, which
retiring member should be appoint
ed before Feb. / to avoid any COM
plications which might bring on
trouble in the future. We have not
much faith in the expression Of
humility and anxiety on the part of
Senator Crawford to bow so humbly
to the will of the people in doing
just what they want done-as set
forth in his acceptance of his elect.
ion as United States senator. The
bitter recriminations that fell from
his lips of two years ago when he
was elected governor are altogether
too fresh in the minds of the peo-
pie to whom they were given to be-
lieve that the senator is really ser
ious in what he now says. They were
high sounding phrases of noble SEN
timent sure enough, but the per-
Torrance Of them will add greater
sincerity to the expressions.

That ninety-mile ride of President
Roosevelt within the course of a day
is causing much CONSERVATION among
the desk colonies of the regular
army. President Roosevelt has insist
ed that these officials should be able
to ride horseback ninety miles in
three days, and that by SO doing they
should be able to take the saddle
at any time and get down to business.
The desk colonies grumbled at the
order of the president, saying that
1t was impossible for a man who has
not been accustomed to riding stead
lily to make such a trip horseback.
The president gave them an illustra-
ton of what a man a do. He order
ed a relay of four horses and rode
the ninety miles in seventeen hours,
allowing a certain length of time for
eating on the journey. After return
ing he resumed his official engage
ments just as If nothing had happen
ed. 1t seems that it is up to the col
onels to make a ride of ninety miles
in three days or retire. The colonies
are hoping, doubtless, that the presi-
dent will not be in too big of a hurry
to insist on the order and that they
may be excused until Judge Taft as
sumes the reins of government, for
they are inclined to believe that the
president-elect will not be so evere

The Kimball Graphic makes the
following comment on the question
of the increase of the states indeb-
ltedness, which feature was some
thing of a warm topic during the
campaign for the senatorship. The
Graphic simply takes the t~reasurer's
statement as the basis for his COM
ment on the increase of the states
Indebtedness:
During the primary campaign of
last spring the stalwarts made much
of the extravaganza of the Crawford
reform legislature of two years ago,
but the truth fell on deaf ears. The
stalwarts showed by figures as plain
as a nose on a mans face that the
ousting of the Kittredge fellows and
the substitute of Crawford and the
pie hunters hanging to his coattails
was at the expense of the tax payers
in which the Graphic quite agreed
with them at the time.
Nov here m Mr.. Crawsord's
state treasurer with his annual re-
port showing that the state indebted
ness has increased enormously, not
withstanding the heavier revenues
from increased levies and boosting
the county assessors levies out of
sight and on top of the large amount
of land acreage thrown on the tax
levy. Mr.. Cassill says that at the
close of the fiscal year, June so,
1907, there were outstanding reve-
nue. warrants to the amount of $3.50
900 and there was cash in the treas
ury, $66,936, leaving the net state in
%debtedness at that date $%1S3,936. At
the close of the fiscal year June 80,
1908, there were out revenue war
rants for s25O,00O; registered war
rants, $154,317. The cash in the
treasury at that date was s21,1S3,
leaving a net outstanding indebted
ness of s3S3,1S4, or an increase in
the debt for the year of 5000 ,O20."

Would Solve Our Difficulties.

No matter how prosperous the Eastern
Shore may become, there is one vital me-
cessity to its full development that must
be realized before it can boast of being
abreast OF the times.
This great need is quick and certain
communication with Baltimore from
every point on the Shore. and it is neces-
sary that the time consumed in travel be
reduced to a minimum.
The keystone to this rests solely upon
the electrification OF the Delmarvian Pen
insula and the construction OF trolley
system traversing its length, with nu-
merous feeders to bring produce and pass
engers to the main line, so that rapid
connection could be made with the Mon
umental City. Travellers on the Pen
insula would also be able TO make the
trip from town to town with great con-
venience and little time wasted.
There are several plans by which it is
proposed to connect the Eastern Shore
and Baltimore. One, the erection OF a
bridge across the Chesapeake Bay, has
been formulated by the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, of Baltimore.
Engineers have declared this plan feas-
ible, but it appears that the immense
cost of constructing this bridge would
operate against the scheme. especially
as the present era of financial life is run
ming along rather tight lines.

TO BUILD TRoLLEys.

This plan is naturally based on the
building of a trolley system to connect
all the principal towns OF the Peninsula,
from Eikton to Ocean City and the lower
bay-shore towns. The main line would
be run. as closely as possible, in direct
line, beginning at Elkton, where con-
nection could be made with the Pennsy-
lvania Railroad, il necessary, through
Chestertown, Centrevillc Easton, Sails
burg to Snow Hill. Short branch lines
could be arranged as follows One from
centreville. passing through Ridgely and
tapping the rich trucking section in that
vicinity, to Denton. One from New
Market to Cambridge and one from Snow
Hill to Pocomokc City and Crisfeld.
The only other necessary branch would
be line from Chestertown to the neigh
borhood of colchester, where the eastern
terminus of fast ferry system would be
located. These branches would be COM
paratively short and could be construct
ed at small cost, while the fertile territory
they would tap would more than repay
the expenditure. Mixed trains running
at 20 miles an hour would then put
traveller in Baltimore in quick time.
The plan further contemplates the
building of fast ferry boats, capable OF
twenty knots speed, to cross the Chesa-
peake Bay from near COLCHESTER to Bay
Shore Park, near North Point, where
connection would be made with the line
of the United Railways Co., and cars run
directly into Baltimore over its rails. A
large wharf and storehouse would have
to be built at either terminus of the boat

are thoroughly familiar with the Bay and
the requirements for connection with
Baltimore, have studied the problem from
all sides and have formulated plan that,
ii is believed, will not only prove the
most feasible, but will also require such
a small expenditure that the work need
not be delayed until the money market
has lost its present stringency.
