TO MUCH BOMBARDING.

Half of the people who are com
planning that the legislature enacts
too many laws and creates too many
burdens of expense for the taxpayers
to foot, are in some organized force
asking that other measures and other
burdens of expense be put on the peo-
pie.
The legislature is bombarded from
every quarter. There are the associa-
tions Of doctors, teachers, lawyers
and laborers; the associations of
county supervisors, auditors and SO on
through the official list. Then there
are the organized corporation inter
ests of railroads, telegraphs, distil-
lery, brewery, on down to the rural
telephone all demanding no abrldge-
ment of their rights as seen throug h
their corporation eyes. All of these
are on the side of self interest with
some good to the public in some in
stance,
But the bombardment does not end
There is always and must be the or
ganized forces looking to the mora |
upllft of the people. This comin ing
winter these advocates will appear in
the form Of the state marshal clubs,
the Anti-Saloon league and other or
CARNATIONS,
The legislator thus bombarded needs
not the cursings Of the people 50
much as he needs their sympathy He
must do his duty as he sees it in the
light of right and broad citizenship.

THE LINCOLN CENTENARY.

The state Of Illinois is making ar
rangements for the fitting celebration
CT the teeth anniversary OF the birth
OF her greatest citizen, Abraham Lin
coin. 1t is fitting and just that Hi
nois should honor her illustrious son.
But Lincoln did not belong to Illi-
nois alone. He belonged to the ma
ton. He belonged in wider sense
to the whole world. And Iowa has a
strong claim, an abiding interest in
him. She repeatedly welcomed him
as a guest, and when he called upon
the loyal sons of the north to rally to
the defense of the union, she sent
him 5000 Of her boys, and she sent
them gladly, willingly, and she would
have sent more if there had been
many left who were able to bear arms. !.
She hung on his words; she studied
his message as no presidential mes
sages have been read and studied
since; she gloried in his victories.
and mourned with him in the hours
when the future seemed dark indeed:
and she has honored his memory and
sought to carry on the work and to
perpetuate the ideas and the princip-
les to which he was devoted.
The whole state should observe the
day. And especially in the schools
ought the 18th of February to be
given up to a patriotic program.
which should be coupled with or
should end with half holiday. For
tbs young folks value the lessons
taught them at the school, and they
value no less the holiday which tenn
porarily releases from those lessons.
And if some Of the youthhave naught
else to help them remember and to
revere the greatest of our presidents,
it will be because they We're granted
a half holiday on his account, III his
name, as it were.

that this can be done by adopting
better methods. In country villages

editor Join with the leading farmers
OF the section i'll indorsing the pro-
gresslve plans Of the demonstration
work; farmers agree to follow in
structlons, and demonstration plots
OF one or more acres are located so as
to place Il sample of the best farming
in each neighborhood of county or
district. The necessary work on the
plot must be done by the farmer and
not by a government agent, because
the whole object lesson is thereby
brought closer to the people.
This is truly national work, and
Wherever put in operation with suf-
ticient intensity to influence public
OPINION these results have rapidly
followed; Increased yield per acre,
the purchase of more and better
horses or mules, great increase in the
use OF better implements, general in
terest in seed selection and the use of
best seed, home and school improve
ments, more months of schooling,
better highways, increase of a healthy
social life in the country, intense in
terest in agriculture. y
The country life commission, now
III Washington to prepare its report
for the president, has ascertained that
the greatest demand among the farm
ers OF the country is for better rural
schools and better highways. Such
improvements, it is urged, will go a
long way toward uplifting country

TWO MORE JUDGES
Two Additional Judges Required on
The Supreme Bench.

Early in the session of the legis-
lature a bill will be introduced in the
house with a prospect for adoption,
providing for an increase in the mem
bership of the supreme court from
three to five. Inasmuch as news
papers OF all shades of political be-
lief have approved the proposed in
crease in the court, it is considered
certain that some bill to this effect
and making the required new district
ing of the state. will be approved.
In the bill already prepared the fol-
lowing division of the state is made:
First District--The counties Of
Butte, Harding, Meade, Lawrence,
Pennington, Custer, Fall River, Per
kins, Washington and Shannon.
Second District Minnehaha, Moo
dy, Lake, McCook, Miner, Hanson,
Sanborn, Dawson, Aurora, Jerauld,
Brule, Buffalo and Lyman.
Third District -Brookings, Deuel.,
Hamlin, klngsbury, Clark, Beadle,
Sphinx, Hand, Hyde, Hughes, Snlly,
Stanley and Armstrong.
Fourth District Grant, Codington,
Roberts, Day, Marshall, Brown, Nc
Pherson, Edmunds, Faulk, Potter,
Walworth, Campbell, Boreman, Dew
ey and Schnasse.
Fifth District Union, Lincoln.
Clay, Turner, Yankton, Hutchinson,
Bon Homme, Douglas, Charles Mix,
Gregory, Tripp, Meyer, Lugeenbeel,
and Washabaugh.
1t will be noticed this division
makes district of the territory lying
west of the county division line that
runs north and south through the en-
tire state, just west of Lyman and
Stanley counties. The remainder of
tile state is divided into four districts,
running east and west, paralleling
each other and practically equal in
territory. 1t is argued in support Of
this division that it will tend to re-
move the Missouri river as a dividing
line in state politics. The three pres
ent members of the supreme court,
| by this division, would remain in
their own districts. Corson in the
first, Haney in the second and Whit
| ing in the third. If adopted, the plan
would require selection of new
Judge from the extreme southern end
Of the state and one from the north
ern. 1t is proposed to allow the
governor to appoint until the next
general election, 1910, from which
time the terms Of the new members
| would begin, to prevent the election
Of an entire court at one term.

BETTER TIMES.

The times are getting better. There
are higher and higher things demand
ed of men every day and men are
meeting the expectations demanded
of them. The business standards Of
the world are better than they were
10, so, 100 years ago.
Time was when Il man could do al
most anything if he had social stand
ing and prestige, but he cannot do it.
now. Even a man 35 years old can
remember the large bankers colony
in Canada and Old Mexico, but today y
the only colony Of bankers that is
ever heard OF or talked about is i iIn LII
LeayenWorth and Atlanta.
The stricter accountability to which
the young men of the present day are.
being held has made them better and
more manly. Weakness is not good
ness, but it is easier to be good in a
day which demands goodness than in
social status which is loose in It's
morals.

Knapp Outlines His Plans.

OF the plans for this farm demon
stration work Special Agent S. a.
Knapp, who is III charge of it, says:
"The aim Of the farmers co-opera-
tive demonstration work is to place a
practical object lesson before the
farm masses, illustrating the best
and most profitable methods of pro-
ducing the standard farm crops and
to secure such active participation in
the demonstration as to prove that
the average farmer can produce bet
ter results.
'"This work also shows that there
is no necessity for the general deteri-
oration of farms and the too commo
poverty of the rural masses. When
these facts have been demonstrated
the first step in the improvement of
rural conditions has been taken.
THE campaign for the ensuing
year are planned in September, and
active work commences in October by
calling meetings in every district to
be worked at which is shown the
great advantage to all the people of

Southern Farmer Back Mum bcr.

These statistics demonstrating the
success Of the middle western farm ers
are being cited to the farmers of til e
south by the farmers co-operativ Q
demonstration workers of the agri-
culture department to inspire them to
more effective methods. For instance,
it is pointed out to the Alabama farm
laborer who owns Oh an average only
three-fifths of a mule and earns only
5 9S a year from the fif-
teen acres he works that the Iowa
farm lahorer has four horses and
earns an average of S6l1.ll a year
from the eighty acres he tills.
This farmers cooperative demon
stration work under the direction Of
the department of agriculture already
is putting into practice some Of the
plans for Improvement of farm con-
ditions, especially in the south, that
the presidents country life commits
sion probably will propose. AS or
ganized under the bureau Of plant
industry the farmers demonstration
working forces consist of one direc-
tor with assistants, ten state agents
and 1888 district and local agents.

OND IN THE PRODUCTION
OF CEREALS.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 25. Sta
tistics prepared by the department of
agriculture show that the farmers of
Iowa and the Dakotas are the most
prosperous in the entire country.
North Dakota leads in the ANIMAL in
come of each farm worker with a
total OF SI55.62, owing to the musu-
ally large farms of that state. Iowa
is second with an annual income of
S6ll.ll for each farm worker, and
South Dakota a close third with
S605. 90. Nebraska farm workers earn
an annual income of S554.7S each.
The average number of acres worked
by one man in North Dakota is 1874 !,
in South Dakota 1886, in Nebraska 0S
acres, and in Iowa only SO acres
Thus, considering the number of
acres worked, the Iowa farms are
the most productive in the United
States
The average value of buildings on
each Iowa farm is Ss1S.S7, which is
the highest mark for farm improve
ments Of any state in the union except
the older eastern commonwealths
South Dakota buildings average S412.-

Proof Of a Gentleman.

Kansas city Journal: 'sMajor IN
man told me this story said one of
the army officers old friends recently.
HE thought 1T was very funny, and it
was. Inman said that Kansas man
named Chisholm, ranchman and cat
tIeman OF much means, travelled a
great deal over the old Santa Fe trail
by stage coach in those early days.
He had big government beef con-
tract-for either the army or the
Indians, forgot now which; but, at
any rate, he had to go in person to
conclude the business. He had to go
to Arizona to one of the agencies. Re-
turning, he was smart enough to send
his money on ahead and it got back
to his ranch safely enough. He had
about $1,000 in bills on his person. In
another pocket he had SO bill. AS
he was getting back into Kansas the
stage was held UP, evidently by a
party OF robbers, who had been watch
Ing Chisholm and expecting him to re-
turn with a wad OF money in payment
for his cattle. Chisholm slipped the
ST 900 roll down his pants leg. The
hold-up men butConed him first He
invited them to search him, saying
that he had little money on his clothes.
They found his watch and ring, and
located the So bin. The $1,000 roll
down in his pants leg was overlooked.
That's eli / have said Chisholm.
He was talking to the man who had
taken hts So bin. I was going to use
that to buy grub with until I got
home
s'Youre D blanlred cheap, mean
cuss, snorted the bandit. Fact Of the
matter Ii that man mean enough to
travel with only 81 in his pocket ought
to starve and thirst to death. But I'm
going to give you dollar back, and
I'm going to let YOU know. blank you,
that you are dealing with = gentle
man
And the hold-up man fshed out q
