REALTY VALUES BOUND TO RAISE

What will the homeseeker do and
where shall he turn when ali the pub
nc domain between the great Lakes
and the Pacific is taken up and Uncle
sam S land Offices have gone ont of
business? In Canada the Hudson Bay
companys great 1000, 900 acres have
been absorbed, and of the 5000, ,OOO-
acre grant to the Canadian Pacific in
1881 not more than 5000, 900 acres are
now remaining, and $4,000 purchasers
taking $50 acres each would absorb
every remaining acre of the grant.
The land question is one which must
press more and more upon the public
mind, the crowding and insistent
throngs will seek in vain for the de-
sired vehicle for their activities
When the time comes that the coun-
Try realizes that the land Office has
taken down it's shingle there will be
such advance in prices that the pre-
sent phenomenal land values in. the
central notably in Illinois
Will appear small in comparison.
When will it be? In fifteen, twenty
or twenty-five years hence? Who
knows? But the time is coming. 1t
is written on the wall. The economic
students already realize the fact.

AN OUTSIDE VIEW
Restraining Order Has the Right Of Way
Until March l..

Dubuque Times: A conflict of jur.
isdiction has arisen in South Dakota
where. though the validity of the . ~
cent fare law is still under considera-
tlon IN the courts, the iegis ature
adopted two cent fare law. The
attorney general at once procured q
mandamus from the supreme court
requiring the railroad agents to sell
appear BEFORE the court March , to
show cause why they had not done so.
The railway companies on the other
hand procured from Judge Garland Of
the federal court a restraining order
effective until March /, when the ap
plication for temporary injunction
will he heard.
1t may be that this injunction will
not be issued in view of the decision
of the supreme court of the United
States in the Virginia case in which
an injunction restraining the state
railway commissioners from enforc-
ing the two cent rate was dissolved
on the ground that the railway
companies should have exhausted
their remedies in the state courts be-
fore appealing to the federal tribunal.
A two cent fare law for South Da-
kota may look good in politics, but
it is bad business. The state has only
one-fourth of Iowa's population and
its ability to show the two cent rate
compensatory is extremely doubtful.
Even if it could make such showing
South Dakota needs some other things
more than it needs the two cent fare.
1t needs more railroads, better SER
vice, more development and the exhi-
bition of spirit that will tend to at
tract capital for these purposes.

An important resolution was adopt-
ed, authorizing the executive commit
tee OF the association to bring test

the legislature has the power to take
from the publishers the right of pri-

tend that the privilege of exchange
between the publisher and the rail-
road cannot he abridged by iegisia
tive action. The present legislature
could have cured this injustice. but
there is no prospect that it will have
the courage to do so, and hence the
publishers have decided to bring a
test case to secure determination Of
the matter. The association also
went on record against the pending
Dill requiring railroad companies to
publish their time tables at legal
rates, and declined to enter protest
against the repeal of the present law
requiring the publication of insurance
statements. In general, the news
paper publishers put themselves OH

that hereafter they intend to stand
by each other in the protection OF

PRACTICAL. EDUCATION

Prof j. S. Shoup: The Sioux City
journal III a long and we'll written
editorial says, amongst other things ::
Ihere has been a good deal of talk
OF the need of more practical educa-
ton. = The verbal phrase ''has BEEN
reaches back Il long ways. 1t was
old when the Oldest member of The
journal staff was young. 1t has been
perpetually on the calendar ever since
II Will continue to be there as long as
there are new educators to come be-
fore the people, and that will be al
ways. The word practical is a good
word; it sounds well and every man
tor woman) who sounds it poses as a
former. Each one uses it in the same
as some other one has used it years
ago.
There is always something impiac-
tical being taught and something
practical untaught. Today the thing
we need, according to the prevalent
idea, is agriculture. 1t was not long
ago that it was a knowledge of the
trades, not long before it that it was
music, esthetic, culture. Teach the
chich a love of the good, the true and
the beautiful, was published in the
educational journals and reproduced
in other papers. At another time it
was the scientific effects of narcotics
and stimulants. The spelling book
was denonnced-the grammar was
anatllematized-Latin and Greek were
inherited evils.
And now some of our educators say:
The schools have made no improve
ment in the last thirty years So
they will say thirty years hence, but
the school is the reflex of civilization:
no matter what is in the course of
study the things essential to be learn
ed to place the child in symmetry
with himself and in harmony with his
kind will be taught in spite of all that
legislators may do Or may not do.
