County Fair Gets State Money.

An item has appeared in a num-
ber of the northeastern Iowa papers
to the effect that the state had re-
fused to pay the usual 5000 approp-
ration for county fairs to Winnie
shiek and one or two other counties,
the charge Deing made that gambling
was permitted on the grounds. 1t is
true that objections were filed by To-
cal parties against the money being
paid to the fair association of this
county, on the ground that baby
racks, cane racks, etc. were permit
ed on the grounds and that these
were gambling devices, but after
thorough investigation the state offic-
:als decided that there was no inten-
tional violation of the law on the
part of the officers, in fact all kinds
of gambling have been prahibited
for years, and so the money was
paid over to the fair officers.

MARSH GETS POsTOFFICE.
Present Postmaster Recommended
by Congressman Haugen for
Reappointment.

Announcement has been made
through the Congressional Record
of day or two ago of the reap
pointment of j. j. Marsh for post
master at Decorah to succeed him
self.
The matter has been hanging fire
for a year and three months, his
term having expired in November,
1907. Four other citizens of De-
corah had offered their services to
their country through the medium of
the postoffice, Messrs. X. 1. Haugen,
j. j. Hopperstad, H. Engbretson and
Your humble Servant, but for some
time it has been evident that Mr..
Marsh would be reappointed.
We congratulate Mr.. Marsh upon
his good fortune. He has made a
good postmaster, and doubtless will
continue to do so.

Congressman have various ways of
getting back at the president in re-
venge for the discourteous insinua-
ton that they were determined to
be exempt from the espionage of the
government detectives. 1t will be
remembered that shortly before the
convening of this session Of Con-
gress, the president issued an order
disseminating the service of marines
On warships. This order was very
unwelcome 10 the marines and their
friends In congress and inasmuch
as it is now everything to disoblige
Roosevelt" there is movement in
Congress to reinstate the marine
service. If the question were left to
the most competent officers of the
navy. Congress would doubtless find
the president sustained in his posi-
tion. The admiral of the Atlantic
fleet has cabled that the efficiency of
the service has been improved since
the marines were taken from the
ships. The Pacific fleet admiral
cables in substance the same infor-
nation. The captains of battleships
and cruisers have expressed them
selves as of the same mind. These
officers. all in active service and cog
infant of the actual conditions, are
such witnesses as would be accepted
by any judicial body and their testi-
mony is corroborated by Admiral
Dewey, Rear Admiral Evans, Cen
vers and Piilsbury and many other
officers of wide sea-going experience.
On the other hand the opinion that
the marines should be reinstated in
their old duties is shared by some
officers of the navy and many of the
Marine Corps. 1t is generally agreed
that the character of seamen. or
blue jackets" as they are called. is
now higher than ever before. The
time is past when marines were nee
essary to keep turbulent Jackies in
subsection. afioat or ashore. During
the now famous world cruise, the
behavior Of the American seamen
has been beyond criticism. The
squads of policemen sent ashore to
prevent disorder were made up of
sailors, not marines, and they had
little or no occasion to interfere
with the action of their comrades.
Reports from the fleet state that the
sailors have made as good police
record as the marines have made on
other occasions. 1t remains to be
seen what action Congress will take
in the case.

Change Name of Road.

In few months the Chicago, Mil

no more and in the place of the
above title on the property of the
company, there will be the name
Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget
Sound. The name is to be changed
to give recognition to the northwest
states and coast country which the
new extension penetrates. For several
weeks the paint shops of the COM
pany have been rushed with orders
to change the name on the rolling
stock. Locomotives, coaches and
freight cars are being sent out with
the new name of the road painted
on them in bright colors.

Z. III. Hartman says that college
boys often forget arithmetic, lose the
power of making a simple statement,
and write scrawling hand and thus
may be inferior to many high school
boys for railroad work. The trou-

they exaggerate the glory of de-
gree. A college diploma never yet

OLMsTEADs in SOUTH DAKOTA.
Former Decorah Pastor Writes In
teresting Letter of Much In
terest to Local Readers.

Brookings, S. d., Jan. %, 1909.
Editor Green:-
Nearly five months have elapsed
since our leaving Decorah and / have
thought perhaps a letter might be
of interest to some of your readers.
The thing of Importance here just
now, and the topic of conversation
upon the streets is the revival that
is in progress. 1t is of the type of
the ''Bulgin' revival of Decorah
some Years ago, and that ought to be
sufficient to condemn it, Everybody
that amounts to anything is being
converted. Say, Harry, if you have
any influence l wish you would use
it in securing law whereby pro-
fessional revivalists should be hang
ed.
Well, the weather out here has
been rather stiff some of the time
this month. We had it "a degrees
below zero one day and 26 another.
At the present writing 1t is thaw-
ing. Sleighing is good and there is
probably eight or ten inches of snow.
We are rather enjoying Brookings,
though we miss the hills and wales of
old Winneshiek, together with her
woods, to say nothing of the good
folk thereabOuts. | do not expect
to live in a prettier little city than
Decorah, beautifully tucked in
among the hills. Surely that scenery
has been kind to me and has woven
itself into my being in WOW +h"t
draws me like as a magnet. In
month from now l should be up
climbing the hills about Ben Jewell's,
looking for the great-horned owls
nest, they beginning to nest about
the middle of February.
This country is developing rapidly
and lands are improving greatly.
Prices range from $35 to SIS per
acre. Crops were very good here,
but prices excellent. Some crops of
corn went 40 bushels per acre, oats
were light, barley fair crop.
This is the seat of the South Da-
kota Agricultural College, and tha
equipment is good for comparative
ly new state and college. About 700
students are enrolled. The college
is progressive and up-to-date. With
the college influence it makes good
home town; population. 1000.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Riley and
Mrs. Harry Riley are here, Walter
having charge of the Laird Norton
Lumber yard. 1t was good to have
Mrs. Severson look in on us one day
early in the fall. Should any of the
Decorah people come this way, do
not pass us by. You are always more
than welcome.
My work takes me over the state
somewhat, it being that of field
agent for the American Unitarian
Association. Recently l visited Alb
erdeen and WatertOwn, speaking in
both cities. They are two busy
towns.
Now, that we are past the middle
of January we are lookink forward
to spring little more hopefully,
even though we know we'll that
| nOr'wester may catch us any day
and blow us nearly out of existence.
We all join in wishing well all the
good friends of Decorah

THE GREAT AMERICAN PLAY.
paid in Full" Another Magnificent
Production, Coming to the Grand
Tomorrow Night.

paid in Full" a virile, forceful,
vital play of contemporaneous Am
erican life. by Eugene Walter, is an
nounced for presentation here by the
Wagenhals and Kemper Company on
tomorrow Thursday night at the
Grand Opera House.
Paid in Full" is in four acts and
Mr.. Walter treats great proposition
in our American life with a candor
and a strength which marks him as
one of the truly great writer's of the
American stage. He has taken for
his subject the greatest class of Am
erican people and he has builded his
arguments on the command "Thou
Shalt Not Steal" and his absolute
frankness of treatment stamps him
indelibly with the mark of real
genious. His story concerns the for
tunes of Joseph Brooks, his wife,
Captain Williams, who is president
of the Latin American Steamship
Company, and mutual friend, Jimsy
Smith. Brooks is an egotist, self
centered, selfish and grasping. He
believes the world owes him a living
and because it is not presented to
him in equal proportions with that
given more favored individuals, ne
sulks, then steals. His wife has
borne him long and patiently, even
marry him and when finally he be-
gins to steal, he covers his source of
income with the explanation that
Captain Williams has advanced his
salary and as bonus for conscient-
ious work has given him six months
back pay, at the new scale. They
live in a manner befitting their new
income, and as might be expected the
announcement is one tragic with the
inevitable. There are new turns and
twists to this play that have not
been seen before in play writing and
Mr.. Walter is to be congratulated
that the Wagenhals and Kempe
Company have given him the inter
preting cast they have. 1t is a safe
assumption that this play is going to
prove one of the strongest that local
play goers have enjoyed in many sea-
sons. To quote one western writer,
"It is the play of the age" 1t is
still running in New York and has
ii it's credit six months run at the
Grand Opera House, Chicago.

The president did a somewhat re-
markable riding stunt last week.
He rode ninety-eight miles in seven
teen hours, thus demonstrating, as
was doubtless his purpose, that the
officers of the army and navy whom
he is requiring to ride ninety miles
in three days, will not be under the
imposition of a severe or impossible
task. 1t will be remembered, how
ever, that the president is in train
ing. He has ridden practically every
day for seven years, to say nothing
of other severe and regular exercise.
1t is very difficult case with the
stout and soft "bon vivants" of the
club rooms who get into carriages,
motors or street cars to ride three
squares. However, the test is intend
ed for Just such effeminate unfit
ness. The intervals of peace-fortu-
nately long in this country-are cal
culated to reduce officers both in the
army and navy to state of unfit
loaferdOm. quite inconsistent with
even the minor horrors of war.

The gracious friendliness of Mr..
Taft's wooing of the South is very
like the graceful courtesy that has
always made Southern life so charm
ing. The wonderful affection that
Mr.. Taft excited among the Philip
mos, at a time when there was a
great deal of i'll feeling toward our
people. gives promise that his warm
hearted personality can even win the
more hostile element of Southerners.
The swish of the Big Stick has laid
low many noxious weeds during the
past four years, and now the sun
shine of the Taft smile promises a
more useful crop in their place.
