Mobridge will be given an oppor.
tunity to hear the noted violinist.l

are for the Norwegian Lutheran
church pew fund.
Admission 35c and 25c.

AFTER ELECTION ?

The interest in our town elect
IN has been intense. Citizens have
felt keenly their power at the ballot
box. AS is usual in politics, opin.
ions have widely differed; party
lines and moral lines were not
identical. Good seed was sown i'll
the same field with seed Of another
kind. No public meetings were
held, neither party made open
declaration from platform or press
Of the principles for which it stood.
Everyone admitted that the ques-
ton at issue was not the saloon
question. 1t was not q fight for or
against q dry town. There were
strong and sincere convictions on
the part of several, however, that
there must be a more stringent en-
f0rrement Of law this coming year,
and that this must be the especial
task Of the new town board.
The problems of a new Western
town are not Of easy solution.
The best way to appreciate this is
to attempt the task. Nobody can
make the world over according
to his own pattern. For the pro
lection of the public as well as for
he safeguarding of majors n strict
legislation of the saloon and SINH
lar institutions, experience has
clearly proved, is of vital import
ance. Our present system OF sa-
loon legislation seems to throw the
responsibility not on the license
holders, where it belongs, but on
the public. The tidal wave of pro,
hibition finds its real explanation
here. Notwithstanding the impor-
lance of proper laws there is some.
thing of even greater Importance,
and without which legislation is in
vain, public sentiment. Legislation
plus the right kind of pubic senti'
ment equals proper law enforce.
ment. Often gross violations
are known by nearly everybody
and loudly deplored by many, yet
NO one has sufficient moral cour-
age to make complaint to the
proper authorities. During this
campaign there has been consider
able talk along this line. Let it be
hoped that the good work thus be.
gun may not prove to be what the
boys call hot air.. Every citizen
should consider himself q member
of the greater town board. Why

privileges which our state gives to
the licensed saloon, it is not only

Earnestly hoped each side having
had q fair show at the polls, all

No matter viii h party has won
it is up to each new town official
to prove his efficiency for his high
calling as q servant OF the town
aud of this great country which
lhas ever stood for the highest
ideals.
In a new town like Mobridge the
saloon. the gambling hall, and the
house of prostitution are leading
social centerS. Young men of good
homes and steady habits come here
to work. At the close of the days
work Some form Of recreation
is necessary. At the old hOmt
were always healthful forms of d.
version with family and friends of
| similar tastes. In u frontier town,
many such lives are wrecked. If
a true history Of Mobridge were
written, would it not include more
than a half dozen such tragedies
within q year? Are the victims
the only ones responsible?
To sOunt2ract the immoral influ-
ences; the course of popular" enter,
| tainments, given here this winter,
through the stirring enterprise OF
Mobridge women, was most excel
lent. The town should plan early
for another good course for next
season. There should also be adj
vantages, such as the Young Mems
| Christian Association affords; a
public reading and game. room,
and a gymnasium with bathroom
Many married men are boarding
here. separated from their families,
because of the scarcity of dwellings,
and the consequent highness of liv-
ing expenses. Every possible in
ducement should be held out to
bring these families to Mobridge.
The appeal to true manhood is
not an appeal to selfishness; it is an
appeal to brotherhood. When self
interest and brotherhood conflict,
then comes the test of true man
hood, the recognition of the bond
Of human brotherhood, which was
the great lesson taught and lived
by Him who is our Elder Brother,
even Jesus Christ.

The plan proposed by-CoI. T. G..
Orr for a park at the site Of the
monument marking that weIl
known hallowed spot is a good
one and should be taken up with
vigor, The work on this could
easily be accomplished early in the
spring and as the trees are already
there a very pretty park could be
procured with little cost. As it
stands at the plesent we have no
suitable place to hold Fourth of
July celebrations and other public
gatherings and by the time cur up
town park becomes well enough
developed the city will. no doubt
be large enough to demand a park
in the outskirts. 1t may seem odd
just now to be talking of these
things, but it also seemed odd two
years ago to think Of the promise
ing city we lhave today There is
no better policy than to look to
future needs and the News believes
that we do need this park. If we
wait q few wears in this matter the
grounds viii no doubt cost us O.
great many times more than it viii
now. We caa afford it, In fact
we cannot afford to miss this
opportunity.
