THE WAR is OVER.

The war between the ''wets" and
the "drys" of this state eliminated i'm
several hotly contested engagements
at the various points last Tuesday
HonOrs We're about equally divided,
SO far as the victories and defeats are
concerned. We are greatly disap-
pointed over the result in Mitchell,
where We hoped last years rout of
rum would this year be supplemented
by still more decisive defeat If not
total destruction of the saloon power
in that (otherwise) grand, good town.
Both sides put up spectacular battle
front. with strategy and tactics never
before displayed in any South Dakota
city Even the "wets" were impelled
to come out in the open and hold a
mass meeting the day preceding elec-
tion. at which Hon. H. c. Preston
lent his powerful pair of lungs, trum-.
pet-toned voice and silvery oratoricai
eloquence in aid of the cause whose
triumph means gain for the saloon
but loss for the home. e.-yerm!llion

NEW PRINCIPAL
OFHlGH SCHOOL
|RALPH l.. PATTY ELECTED BY
SCHOOL BOARD.
HAS HAD MUCH EXPERIENCE
IN TEACHING AND SHOULD BE
A VALUABLE MAN.

The city. school board has elected
Ralph l.. Patty of Redfield, Iowa, as
principal of the high school for the
coming year, succeeding Prof r. b.
Leland, who resigned. The board has
been in correspondence with Mr.. Patty
for some time and yesterday morning
he wired his acceptance of the posi-
ton.
Mr.. Patty is twenty-four years old
and his home is at Redfield, Iowa,
where he graduated rom the high
school He attended the State Teach
ers college at Cedar Falls, Iowa, for
four years, graduating in 1905. and
afterwards took post graduate work
at the same institution. Following
this he took special work at the Iowa
State college at Ames. After leav-
ing Ames he accepted position as
.teacher at Winterset. Iowa, which has
high school of 115 pupils, and in
his second year there was appointed
principal Hearing of his valuable
work the school board at Ames offered
him a position in the high school
which has 302 pupils, and asked the
board at Winterset to release him
While regretting to lose his services
the Winterset board would not stand
in the way of Mr.. Patty's advancement
in his profession and they granted the
request. Since that time Mr.. Patty
has taught in the Ames school and
that his work is appreciated is shown
by his reelection this spring. The
Winterset board also elected him prin
cipal in the hope that he would re
turn there.
Superintendent Brown met Mr.. Pat
ty three years ago and thought so wei
of him then that he seriously cOnsid
cred offering him a position here, but
at that time he was without expert
ence. Since that time he has more
than made good at Winterset and
Ames.
TO our way of thinking one Of the
| best recommendations Mr.. Patty has
| is that he is a good all-around athlete
AS no paid coach is retained here i
is absolutely necessary that the prin
cipal be a man who understands phySi
cal training and the coaching Of athle
tic teams, and from the record of Mr.
Patty he should prove an EXCEPTIONAL!
good man in this line. During his fou
years course he was a member of tn,
! football basket ball, track and bas,
! ball teams, and while at Ames III
took special work in gymnastics ant
! physical training
The school board and Superinten
dent Brown are of the opinion tina
in Mr.. Patty they have the right MAJ
! for the position, and everything in
dicates that they are right in thei

es it is wo. III more to the city than
anything else it possesses.
At the present time we have no out.
standing warrants. we are beginning
to take up our bonds, our didigerent
plants are in excellent shape and We
are getting as good if not better ser
vice than any other city in the state
from similar plants, so if there evel
was a time when municipal ownership
looked feasible, when the future of our
plants and the success of the city and
its enterprises looked encouraging, it
is right now
1t is always easy to criticise, but
criticism should not be made without
due investigation.
The condition of streets and cross
ings, due largely to the installation
of our water and sewer systems, has
led many to criticise. but now with
these fully established, with the city
approaches the best they have ever
been it looks as though these evils
would be corrected. The population
Of the city might be doubled without
costing the city much for additional
service, while the earnings would be
nearly doubled.
SO with the bright prospects We
have for the future let us give wcrd
Of praise to the outgoing city admin
istration and a boost for the new.
Give them our best support help
where and when we can, for The city
officials are doing their best with
practically no recompense. Say good
word for the city and its enterprises
when possible, and under existing
conditions it is possible, in fact be
that valuable person to every com
munity-be a booster.

TRACK MEET SATURDAY.

The first and only track meet of the
season to be held at Brookings will
be pulled off at the college athletic
park next Saturday afternoon between
lege of Sioux City. The meet is sure
to be close and exciting and without
doubt there will be a big turnout of
the enthusiasts. The college team
was defeated by Morningside by a
close score last year, and next Satur-
day they will make a desperate effort
to- get revenge.
The Morningside team is in charge
of Jack Hollister, the old Brookings
trainer. and nothing would please him
better than to bring up his team and
wallop his old charges. The Sioux
City team is reported to be unusually
strong this year and Brookings will
have to go their best to get the money
The Brookings team is in fairly
good shape, although the weather has
not been favorable for outdoor work
this spring. The squad has been
strengthened by some good new mat
erial and with all the old men back
in training Coach Saunderson should
round out a good team. Jimmie Lock
hart is showing up well in the sprints
and broad jump, Johnson is doing well
in the weights. and Coughlin is the
same old reliable point winner. Per-
ley has added strength to the team
in the high jump and hurdles. and
Huntimer will take care of the long
distances. The other candidates are
showing up well and altogether the
prospects look promising.

PRESIDENT TAFT TO SPEAK
IN MORMON TEMPLE SUNDAY
Difficulty Which Had Arisen Has Been
Adjusted.

Provo, Utah. Sept. 24-The dificul-
ty which had arisen during the last
two days over the proposal to have
President Taft attend an organ re-
cital in the Mormon tabernacle on
Saturday and to make an address
there on Sunday morning, was finally
adjusted today at a conference be-
tween the president and Senator Reed
Smoot en- route to this city. There
had arisen an informal protest from
the Protestant ministers of Salt Lake
City and President Taft had wired
yesterday asking that his Sunday
morning be left free so that he might
attend church in an unofficial capac-
ity wherever he might elect.
1t was agreed today that the presi-
dent would speak in the Tabernacle
at an earlier hour than previously
scheduled; that he would review a liv-
ing flag of school children Immediate
ly after, and at eleven o'clock attend
services in his own church, the Uni
tartan. The church which the presi-
dent will attend is said 10 be the
smallest in Utah. III
