For Enlarged Homesteads,

A Pierre item says that the resolu-
tion introduced in the house by DIR.
Bentley, memorializing congress to
provide for enlarged homsteads upon
certain lands in this state is but ano-
ther step in the agitation which has
been carried on along like lines for
years. There are certain sections of
the state, although they are few, which
contain considerable amounts of rough
land which is devoid of timber, and
upon which it is contended that fam.
lily cannot be properly maintained.
This reference is mainly to the gumbo
hills which are to be found in some
parts of the country west of the Mis-.
souri,. Consequently the resolution
asks congress to authorize the secre.
tary of the interior to have these lands
examined and classified, and allow
homestead entry to the extent of 64O
acres upon such lands.

CONDITION OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
Secretary's Report For The Year End
ing December 81, 1908.

ing DeCemDef 81, lSV6.
The library association is incorpo
rated and has Il membership of 1S5.
Seven officers are elected at the an
nual meeting aud these officers con
stitute board of directors who hold
meetings the first Monday in each
month.
During the year there have been
eight regular board meetings with an
average attendance of five. At these
meetings all business pertaining to the
library is transacted, all bills paid and
the book committee instructed to pur-
chase new books.
We have in the library at the pres
ent time one thousand, five hundred
and ten books (1,5lo), not including
TIE encyclopedia, two hundred and
sixteen books (2l6), and the Encyclo-
pedia Americana, which contains six.
teen volumes, being purchased the
past year.
An average of forty-fve people visit
the library per day, making total of
i6.425 for the year, and about twenty
books go out each day, or 1900 during
the year On the table can be found
twelve of the leading magazines, eight
daily and four weekly papers.
Some idea of the amount of money
it takes to support this library as it is
at the present time can be obtained
from the fact that from January II,
1903, to January l, 1909, the secretary
has written warrants to the amonnt of
eight hundred and forty-seven dollars
and fifteen cents (ss471 15). OF this,
two hundred and thirty-three dollars
and seventy cents (s233.7O) has been
expended for books, and three hum
dred dollars for librarian service, and
the balance for papers, magazines,
rent, fuel and other incidentals.
About three hundred and twenty five
dollars Of this was raised by enter.
tainments aud dinners; the balance by
subscriptions, memberships aud dues.
There has been decided increase in
the patronage aud also in the interest
taken in the library in the past year
and think but voice the sentiment
of all in saying am glad it has come
to stay.
MRS. GRACE GILLESPIE.

Lincoln's Birthday Proclamation.

To THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH DAKOTA
On the 18th day of February, 1909,
one hundred years ago, was born the
Worlds Greatest Commoner, Abra-
ham Lincoln. In state, national and
social history his name and the story
Of his great and simple life is familiar
t. all. Today there is no parsonage In
the whole of American history more
exalted than Lincoln.
deem it fitting that the citizens of
the State of South Dakota should join
in the memorable observance of the
One Hundredth Anniversary of the
birth of this great man. The North
and the South, as unit, honor his
memory and revere the rugged grand
eur of his personality. All forget the
bitterness and hate engendered dur
ing the stirring days of the early Cos,
in the admiration of Mr.. Lincoln. His
name aud the great work which he ac-
complished for the nation and the
cause of liberty for the people, are fa-
miliar to the world. 1t is n great priv
ilege to offer tribute to his memory.
The world will esteem it a measure OF
devotion to his principles.
I trust that the citizens of South
Dakota will join in making this occa-
sion an incentive to patriotism in our
schools aud all public and social ga
therings; thus evinciny the aamira-
ton which free and liherty-loving
people feel for this great benefector
who used the power entrusted to him
for the benefit of those whose condi-
ton appealed to his sense of justice.
To him we are indebted for our ma
tional freedom and united nation.
Therefore, l urge the schools of the
state and all municipal, civic, social
and religious organizations to observe
the day with appropriate exercises.

seal of State, at Pierre, this 22nd day

new GRAFT FOUND.
New York Is SwindIed in the Disposal
of Garbage.

New York. March 5.-Following
close on the recent disclosures of
graft in connection with the removal
of snow, another alleged scandal has
been uncovered in the street cleaning
department After an investigation
by District Attorney Jerome, which
lasted until an early hour this morn
ing, Ralph Viccaro, an inspector for
the street cleaning department whose
duty has been to superintend the
dumping of ashes and refuse into the
river, was placed under arrest other
arrests will follow, it is said, and Com
missioner Edwards, the former
princeton football star, says that the
present investigation will surpass the
recent snow graft cases in magnitude
1t is alleged that the city has been
swindled by fraudulent reports of
garbage unloaded at the Canal street
dump. Commissioner Edwards says
that in this way the city has lost
thousands of dollars monthly
Viccaro is specifically charged with
grand larceny in the second degree.
As an employe of the city he received
a salary of $1,000 a year. 1t is said
that Mr. Edwards learned of the al
legged graft through a college friend.
and the commissioner declared that
at one dump alone the excess charge
paid by the city has amounted to
$1,000 a month.

reference to the settlement:
Proposals looking to an adjustment

Mutual Life Insurance company and
certain of it's former officers and 9TH
ers have been under negotiation for
several months. They were referred by
the board of trustees some time ago to
committee which carefully examined
the situation and decided that in view
of all the conditions and circumstances
it would be wise to settle the contTo-
versy on the terms proposed. This de-
ciSion of the committee was approved
by Joseph H. Choate, the company's
special counsel in the litigation, and by
James McKeen, general counsel of the
company, and was duly reported to the
board and approved.
1.-THE result of the settlement is that
all of the claims in dispute by and
against the company have been settled
and released and the company has re-
ceived the equivalent in value of the

municipal lodging house at Twelfth
street. 1 found a dark, badly lighted

room was small and badly heated by
stoves The bathing facilities were
poor. L slept that night on a hard
cot in an i'll ventilated dormitory. At

consisted of a stew of carrots, turnips
and a few pieces of meat, a cup of

Afterward we were put to work on

Browns criticism of the Chicago
lodging house is that it is badly To-

wire netting on the windows gives it
the appearance of being a prison. He
spoke of the lodging house conditions

HIS FIRST EDITORIAL.
Roosevelt Deals With Journalism in
the Outlook.

New York, March 5.-The first editorial
article from the pen of ex-President The
odore Roosevelt, which appears in the
March issue Of The Outlook. deals with
Journalism 1t says in part:
EVERY owner, editor or reporter of a
real value to the community. We have
many newspapers, big and little, of this
kind But we also have many that are
emphatically not of this kind.
During the last few years it has be-
come evident that certain newspapers are
controlled by men who have gained wealth
in evil fashion, who desire to stlfle honest
in the purchas ed mendacfty of those who
edit and write for such papers"
'DThe apostles of that hideous yellow
journalism which he defines as the cult OF
the mendacious, the sensational and the
In conclusion he refers to another type
of temptation which has much fasclnatlon
for men of cultivation, and which is quite
as fatal to their usefulness as yellow
journalism"
"A newspaper which avoids vulgar SEN
sationalism, which appeals to people OF
do fbe anu prave harm and be within it's
own rather narrow limit, an element of
serious mischief For it may habitually
and consistently practice a mahgn anu
slanderous untruthfulnesS which though
more refined is immoral as sensation
"a cultivated man of good intelligence
who has acquired the .Rnack of saying
bitter things, but who lacks the robust
ness to feel at ease among men of action,
is apt, if his nature has anything of mean
ness or untruthfulness, to sit in clustered
aloofness and to endeavor by an unceasing
output of Islander to bolster up his own
uneasy desire to be considered superior
Now, a paper edited by men of this
stamp does not have much popular in
fluence but it may exert real influence
for evil by the way in which it teaches
young men of good education that decent
and upright men are as properly the sub
jects for foul attack as the most debased
corruptionist; that efficiency and wicked
ness are interchangeable. and that the cor
rect attitude to adopt in facing the prob
lens of our time is one of sneering- and
supercilious untruthfulness.
