BOYS WILL SOON Be BUSY
:, IN POLITICS FOR THEMSELVES

The boys Of Hammond will soon be
in politics for themselves. They are
going to hold q convention in Ham
mond in the near future and Will nom
mate two sets of officers.
Later on there will be a Boyville
election. and then mayor and common
council Of Hammond's Boyvine viii be
selected Already the delegates TO these
conventions are being selected, and in a
number of the schools in the city these
delegates are already picked.
The city is to be divided into wards
and each of these wards Will have a
representative in the Boyville council
1t is possible that each Of the schools
in the city win constitute a ward.
To give an idea Of the work that Mr..
Hahn is carrying on in this city, he
quotes one boy as saying, I am anx-
ious to see Boyville start for I am in
the wrong kind Of a gang. They are
all the playmates l have, SO I win have
to stay with them until something else
comes along so that 1 can get away
from them without making them sore
at me"
Mr.. Hahn says that this from a boy
makes him want to do something foi

of the work that Mr.. Hahn is under
taking in Hammond, and in the opinion
of many of the business men Of the
city, it will have a great deal TO do
with raising the moral standard Of
Hammond boys.
There are many Hammond boys who
know their associates are not of the
best, and they want TO get out of the
gang into which they have been thrown.

forces are appealing to the heads of
certain manufacturing plants in the
city to send out the order that their
men must vote for Becker. The manu-
facturers in most cases have seen the
handwriting on the wall.
Schaafs prospects seem so good that
they are refusing to take any action
at all. for fear that he will be elected
and they will be embarrassed in the
next four years of his administration.
Heaven and earth is being raised to Sc
cure an order from the heads Of the
various plants in the city that Schaaf
shall not be permitted to talk to the
men. This has failed utterly, and
Schaaf has access to plants where it is
known that the local officials are hos
tile to his election. Nowhere has he
been refused admission.

faces. They are making a last and

in favor of Becker and to stem the
tide against them, but these efforts
are weak
The hundreds of people in Hammond
who have been wronged by the Beck
er administration with heavy assess
ments or by absolute neglect, as in the
case Of the north and east sides, are
Schaafs best campaigners. Becker's
promises to them that he will do bet
ter in the future are falling on deaf
ear
They know that he is so tied up with
the interests that he could not do bet

er is said to have promised every po-
litical favor that he has to give to a
half dozen different people. Any

Becker and his crowd are resorting To

A WORTHY CAUSE.

We are glad to bring to the atten-
tion of our readers the needs of the
Childrens Home at Sioux Falls. This
is an institution that has every right
to our help and is especially worthy
of every assistance given it. We
would be glad if some one in our city
would take the matter up. Money eS-
pecially is needed, but the Home will
gladly accept vegetables and other
necessaries of life. Miss Nellie Sch
losser, a talented reader and imper-
senator of Sioux Falls, is giving en-
tertainments for the benefit of the
Home. Why would it not do to bring
her to Brookings? Her services cost
nothing and the entire proceeds can
go to the home. We wish some good
person or society in Brookings would
take this matter up.
The past year has been a busy one
for the Home, more than 200 children
having been cared for, and the society
finds itself taxed to the uttermost.
More help is needed and improve
ments of a substantial nature are nec-
essary, and the only way the Home has
to meet these requirements is from the
contributions of a generous public
We do not believe there is more wor-
thy cause in the state, and it surely
would be better to assist those in
need at home, our neighbors than to
send our money away to foreign mis-
sions If some society will take up
the matter of securing Miss Schlosser
for an entertainment here the Regis
ter will do all in it's power to help.

rise to the talk of another transconti-

In Wyoming to the Pacific coast
An issue of $25,OOO,O0O was made
In 1907 and sold to the stockholders
for the same purpose and that amount
was expended on the western half of
the system Construction of feeders
in Nebraska and Wyoming has pro-
ceeded rapidly for the last year, and
the line now reaches Lander, Wyom.
ing. in the western part of that state.
The Northwestern reaches the coast
over the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Line, both Hartman properties.
The Northwestern tracks westward
parallel those Of the Union Pacific.
The company has made several sur
veys to the coast, and it was reported
several years ago that a new line
would be built through southern Ida
no and Washington to Portland. Lat.
er it was rumored that conference
between Hartman, Hill and Morgan
led to abandonment of the plan.
There has always been an impress
sion among railroad men that the
Northwestern and Northern Pacific
eventually will be united in one sys,
TEN, and it is thought the bankruptcy
of the Great Western was the only
thing which prevented the consum-
nation Of that plan. Morgan, who
controls large share of the Northern
Pacific stock, has absolute control of
the Great Western.
The invasion of the coast territory
by the Northwestern will affect both
the Hill and the Hartman lines. That
the company can finance the costruc
tion without difficulty is conceded
and it is believed that the announce.
ment of the stock issue will be the
beginning of momentous changes in
the railroad map of the west
