The petition to Congressman Mar
tin asking an appropriation of $3.50, 600
to build and equip a government
building in this city, is timely and
the need is pressing. The govern
ment land office business has virtual
ly outgrown it's present quarters in
the Lakota building, even though
much of the business heretofore trans
acted here has been transferred to the
newly established office at Belle
Fourche. The business of the post
office also has gone beyond the pres
ent quarters and is being handled
with difficulty by the present force.
The petition should therefore be
made as emphatic of the stu
alton as possible, so as to impress on
congress the true condition. The
erection of suitable building here is
by no means an extravaganza on the
part of the government. The people
in asking for it and Congressman Mar
tin in presenting the request, do so
with the positive assurance 1t is fully
warranted. The government now
owns property on Eighth and St. Joe
streets and the intention to build is
. foregone conclusion. Therefore the
petition is in the light Of expediting
matters, presenting the need in legit-
innate manner to be acted on by con-
gress.

Land Congress laid the foundation
for greater achievements in diverting
people from the cities to the rich,
uncultivated lands that only await
the intelligent application of labor to
brng forth boundless wealth in boun-
tlful agricultural crops. 1t exerted
an influence that no land boomer
could personify. Governors came
with maps of their commonwealth
and indicated where rich, fertile lands
could be obtained at low cost that.
when improved, would not only adj
vance in financial value, but would
enrich the owner with abundant crops.
The most effective speeches were
from disinterested promoters, who
represented no colonization syndicate,
but directed the public to cheap, fer
tile lands that await the husband
man to yield up it's treasures Of
wealth.
1.-THE welfare of the state is indis-
soluble from the welfare of it's citi=

the most home owners. There was
only friendly rivalry among the dele

rich muck lands south of Lake

Representative Martin of Deadwood,
S. D., is Of the opinion that the maxi
nun tariff provision of the Aldrich-
Payne act should either be revised or
The date Of its enforcement postponed.
Representative Martin believes that
congress blundered when it made the
maximum tariff seif-oparative. I re
law provides that the maximum tariff
shall be applied on the products Of
any country that in any way discrimi-
mates against the trade of the United
States. The maximum tariff goes in
to effect automatically, and the mini
mum rates are invoked only when the
president shall be satisfied that dis
elimination is practiced against the
United States. "The principle is a
bad one," said the South Dakota
member. "The minimum tariff should
have been made self-operative~ and
the maximum tariff provided as a
punitive measure to be invoked in
dealing with countries that do not
give us square deal"

the people have the satisfaction Of
knowing the frequent falls Of snow
were beneficial to the country. The
snowfalls were gentle, without bliz-

followed. The snow water soaked in

assisting the spring rains in furnish

discontinue of the early SHOWS and

transformed into blessing when

IHE law, With all It's techn1callt1eS,
pertaining to the sale of liquors makes
it incumbent upon the owner of
saloon to place guard at the door to
make every person of uncertain age
give the proper sign before crossing
the rubicon. This thought is in
duced by the beginning of suit
in Yankton county against Emil
Moses, a saloon keeper. The grounds
for the case are: Two boys went in
to his saloon and said: ''Do you want
to buy any bottles?" The saloon
keeper said: "No," and the boys at
once went out. The saloon man was
arrested shortly afterwards for allow
ing minors to frequent his place.
Moses has been bound over to the
circuit court. He has given notice Of
intention to fight the case. This in
stance is in keeping with efforts put
forth last spring throughout cities of
Iowa by an advocate of temperance.
The man accompanied by half breed
Indians made the rounds of the cities
visited. The Indians, dressed in citi-
zens clothes, were sent into the sa-
looms and in many instances pur-
chased whiskey according to instruc-
tions. Cases were then brought on
the charge of selling liquor to In
dams.
