INEQUALITY TO EXIST.

1.-THE purpose of the American to-
day is not only to elevate, but to
eliminate poverty. / believe in pub
lis spirit, and ] admire the Ameri-
cans for endeavoring to relieve suf-
fering. Suffering, however, cannot
be eliminated. AS long as the social
relations exist between human beings
there will be poverty in the world. .
This comment was made by Cardi-
nal Gibbons, in discussion of pres
ent day problems.
"God intended inequality among
mankind, and this inequality we will
always have, continued the cardinal.
"Christ's disciples were not men of
potent political influence or high
social positions; they were without
any prestige at all in the sight Of
men. But they were commanded by
Christ to preach the gospel, to heal
the broken hearts, to feed the hungry
and clothe the naked.
"The religion, of Christ is a practi-
cal religion, and bears a relation to
social beings Men were created for
society, and no man is sufficient by
himself. There should be the same
harmonious relations between mem
bers of the social body, whether rich
or poor, as between mem bers o. the
physiccl body.
II care not how rich man is. l
care not whether he be Croesus, a
John Jacob Astor, John D. Rookie
Teller or Vanderbilt, what will his
wealth avail him if he has no friend
to help him, no servant to minister
to his wants, no one to give him
solace in his sorrow? If they have
nc friend, say, their wealth will
avail them nothing
'"The rich as well as the poor de-
clare am not my brothers keeper
This is the language of selfshness
and misery. That man must be
miserable that says Il am not my
brothers. Keeper He is an iceberg
and is curse to himself"

Those who are working to secure a
fund to assist the state in making a
showing at the lands congress in Chi
cagO next month are encouraged over
the start which has been made in the
way Of securing donations from the
different counties. To add to the in
itial donation Of $50 from Faux coun-
ty. Hand county has remitted $e5;
Hughes county S75. Butte and Ly-
man counties have both promised
good donations to the fund, and it is
believed by the committee in charge
Of the work that they will secure
funds enough for good showing. AS
prac tically every northwest state
will be represented lat this meeting,
the people Of South Dakota will need
donate liberally to give the state a
proper showing, so long as the legis-
lature refused to do anything in that
line.

The extreme anxiety of some OF

The extreme anxiety of some Of
the newspapers to condemn the Okla
homa bank law in understood by
many readers as indicting that the
newspapers are "sore" because the
depositors got their money when a
bank failed in that state recently.
Possibly the plan is not a good one
but anyhow the depositorstgot their
money. Therefore it would be we'll
to not be SO extreme in condemnation
as to be unfair. The recent failure
Of q little bank down in one Of the
southwestern counties of our own
state caused one suicide and one case
of insanity OF depositor over his
loss. How many cases there were of
near-suicide and near-insanity no
body knows. But one saving feature
of the recent rather large bank failure
in Oklahoma was that nobody COM
mitted suicide or went crazy over it.

A man went in the sea to swim,
To have a briny lark,
But there was meal for him
BY some voracious shark.
And now his wife won't touch dish
At dinner if it's labeled "fish.

All through the jungle fearful,
And where they met, X marks the

But the hippo is more cheerful.

that an organization OF this kind did
exist in our midst. The jury after
fully and patiently investigating the
facts reach tae conclusion that these
deiend,ants did combine and con-
splre together for this purpose, and
the court cannot say that this t9ncln-
sion is erroneous.
OF course, no such society or COM
binatlon can be tolerated in our CON-
munity. ALI suca organizations must be
stamped out promptly. 1t is tae chief
duty of government to give Protec-
tion to the lives, liberties and proper
ty Of its citizens. Such combinations
would very soon destroy and over
throw organized government, and en-
throne in its place a cruel, and law
less band OF robbers and murderers.
Such condition Of affairs is too horri-
bic to contemplate even for moment.
The frst effort (so far as known to
organize a society of this kind in Ma
rlon county, has been promptly met.
the verdict Of this jury will be notice
to lawless men that in Marion county
the officers OF the court, and the
jurors of the county have the courage
and patriotism to give ample protec-
ton to all ner citizens and all persons
residing or soiournlng here, and that
lawlessness will be suppressed and
the law-breakers punished at all haz-
ards.
will enter judgment on this verdict
with deep regret,-regret that can
not convince myself that the finding
Of the jury is erroneous-regrct to
know that such an organization could
have existed in this community, and
that this court must enter these facts
upon its records.
