 In q special exhibit with it's report the grand jury declares that Sheriff C. NJ. Philpot is not entitled to dis count on scrip. Sheriff Philpot ap- peared before the Arand jury and explained the matter, assuring that body that he was taking only what the law allowed him, and urged the grand jury to indict him if it found that he had violated the law in any sense.
 In discharging the jurors, Judge Grace declared that he did not agree with them in their conclusions that it was best to license gambling hous- es and bawdy houses. He said it was the duty of every officer to stop violations of the law and that, if the grand jury secured sufficient evidence that they had knowledge of the violations, and did not do their duty they should have indicted them for malfeasance in office. eff you couldn't indict them he said, you ought to have indicted the operators of gambling houses and resorts. You have done what you thought best, and want to offer no criticism. but I am merely differing with you on this, subject" Judge Grace comp1l- mented the jurors for their good work and thanked them for their faithful performances.

professional base ball is. Il would not

that l made good and was one of the
best of them in my day. Base ball
is the one sport in this country upon
which the gamblers have not been able
to get their crooked claws. There
isn't the same disgrace attached to
professional base ball player that at
tends to other professional athletes.
The gamblers tried for thirty years to
get control but the men behind the
game stood firm and true. Base ball
has stood the test. 1t is a pure clean,
wholesome game. And there is no

CHARGES BUT TWO CENTS.

The Missouri River & Northwestern
commonly known as the Crouch Line,
is in all probability the only road in
South Dakota that is today selling
tickets to passengers at the rate of
two cents per mile and it will CON
tinue to do SO pending the hearing
of the validity OF the new law The
road is under the control of Attorney
C. o. Bailey Of Sioux Falls, receiver,
and he wired J. l.. Soule, superinten-
dent, that he had no money with which
to fight the new law, consequently the
new rate should be used.
After the new rate law was signed
by Governor Vessey practically all the
railroads secured injunctions from
Judge Garland of the federal court at
Sioux Falls, enjoining the state rail.
road commission, the state attorney
general and the various states attor-
neys from commencing any prosecu-
ticns for failure to comply with the
provisions Of the law until the validity
is tested. The Crouch Line, not hav-
ing gone into court and secured an
injunction must obey the law or suf-
fer prosecutions.
The Crouch line is purely a noun
famous road, with heavy grades and
heretofore charged five cents mile.
No one believes that the road can
haul passengers at two cents a mile,
without loss, and at once it is seen
that at least in this one instance the
new rate will work a hardship. The
road has never had very heavy
passenger business and now with the
reduction in the rate the receipts from
that source will be reduced to a mini
mum.-Rapid City Journal.

GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION
The Question Of Adopting It is Being
Agitated in Brookings.

Since the law of 1907 was enacted

which has proved so successful in
Galveston and Des Moines, several
towns in this state have been moving
in that direction. Sioux Falls will
organize under the law this spring
Without any reflection on our present
city officials, if there is any better
system of conducting our municipal
affairs we ought to by all means adopt
it With as much capital as we have
invested in different city enterprises
it is becoming a matter of supreme
Importance that We should have the
most efficient administration of affairs
that 1t is possible to have. 1t is pure
ly business proposition and IL a
commission Of five men, selected at
large from the city, can conduct the
city's business more efficiently than
at present. it is our duty to change
to the better plan. There is no harm
In agitating the question at least and
there may be a move made looking
to the adoption Of the new plan in
the near future. Let us study up and
see IL we want it, So"

tribute sufficient funds for such a
building the effort would be well re-

Rev. Hugh Robinson has kindly con.
tributed the following excellent article
relative to the progress being made
toward Y. M. c. A. building for
BroOkings and some of the advantages
the city viii derive by it's possession:
After many hindrances from storms
and drifts, w. M. Parsons of Mime
apolis, general Y. NJ. c. A. secretary
for the Northwest, met on Tuesday
of this week with the committee ap.
pointed at the meeting in the taber-
nacle. The ground was gone over
carefully, all the pros and cons were
thoroughly discussed, and the cam
paign for Y. NJ. c. A. building and
organization may be said to have
begun. Mr. Parsons will be in Brook
ings later on.
The Y. NJ. c. A. is a workable COM
bination Of the club, athletic, educa-
tional and religious concerns Of the
community, and is one OF the most
effective and far-reaching agencies
that the world knows Of in the i'm
provement and uplifting of men. That
this Is being recognized is evidenced
by the fact that in 1908 eighty-one
buildings, costing $l0,O00,000, were
dedicated to association work.
Here in Brookings there might be
combined with the Y. NJ c. A. all
the interests of the community. We
have talked public library. The IL
brary could be housed in the Y. M.
c. A. building. We havt agitated the
commercial club idea. Why not COM
bine it with this project? In fact, all

commercial efforts could be included.
Every thing that makes for the physi-
cal, social, intellectual and spiritual
uplift of the whole community might

We have met here to celebrate the
hundreth anniversary of the birth of
the greatest of Americans; of one of
the two or three greatest men of the
nineteenth century; of one of the
greatest men in the worlds history.
This rail splitter, this boy who passed
his ungainly youth in the dire poverty
of the poorest of the frontier folk,
whose rise was by weary and painful
labor, lived to lead his people through
the burning flames of struggle, from
which the nation emerged, purified as
by fire, born anew to loftier life.
After long years of iron effort, and
of failure that came more often than
victory, he at last arose to- the leader
ship of the republic, at the moment
when that leadership had become the
stupendous world-task of the time.
He grew to know greatness, but
never ease. Success came to him,
but never happiness, save that which
springs from doing we'll a painful and
a vital task. Power was his, but not
pleasure. The burrows deepened on
his brow, but his steel thews never
faltered as he bore for a burden the
destinies of his people. His great and
tender heart shrank from giving pain;
and the task allotted to him was to
pour out like water the life blood of
Young men, and to feel in his every
fiber the sorrow of the women.
Disaster saddened but never dis
mayed him. AS the red years of war
went by they found him ever doing his
duty in the present, ever facing the
future with a fearless front, high of
heart and dauntless of soul. Unbrok-
en- bv hatred, unshaken by scorn, he
worked and suffered for the people.
Triumph was his at the last; and
barely had he tasted it before MUIR
der found him, and the kindly, patient,
fearless eyes were closed forever.
AS the years roll by, and as all of
us, wherever we dwell, grow to feel
an equal pride in the yalor and SELF
devotion, alike of the men who wore
the blue and the men who wore the
gray, so this whole nation will grow
to feel peculiar sense Of pride in the
man whose blood was shed for the
union of his people and for the free
dom of a race; the lover of his coun-
try and all mankind; the mightiest OF
the mighty men who mastered the
mighty days, Abraham Lincoln

in the game and while in town await
ing a chance to play. The boys prov

University of Washington has can
'celled its game with W hitWorth col
lege, of Tacoma This is the team
which plays in Pullman on Nov EN- Der
16, and which held W Washington to
a tie, to 0, last year and defeat
ed University of Oregon and Whit
man college. Whitworth claims the
University is afraid TO meet its
team, and this is generally believed.
Whitman and Idaho both play Uni
versity of Washington this year If
w. S. C.. can defeat both of these
teams, and they are both expected
to defeat Washington, it will give us
the honor of defeating them without
having to play. Washington has be-
come thoroughly detested by sports
men because of its unsportsmanlike
conduct in the past.
Idaho and Whitman meet at Mos
COW next Saturday, October 23, for
a game at Moscaw. A great many
Pullmanites will attend the game
which is expected to be a good one.
Moscow would have hard work to get
enough people to attend its games to
pay expenses if Pullman were not SO
near and it's people such good pa
irons of football.

weather, and the rooters We're liberal
with their cheers, giving the visitor
credit for every good play and when
