Was Prosperous Year for South Dakota

able and bet portions of the farms
and in every way excel the meadows
of tame hay. 1t would be folly for a
farmer to pillow upagood wild meadow
to cultivate the land to any crop. Ton
for ton wild is vastly superior to any
tame hay grown. AT present North
Dakota and South Dakota are annu-
ally making. at least 100000 tons
each of wild hay, yet in the published
tables we get credit for less than a
million tons of hay, being only for
the alfalfa, timothy, clover and millet
produced.
Serious charges have been made
against the management of the Sol
diers' home, but Col. Arthur Linn,
former commandant and at present a
commissioner of the home, denies that
abuses exist and declares that Colonel
Geddes is giving most satisfactory
administration. Some of the states
best men have been commentaries Of
the home, but no one has escaped
criticisms, and ordinarily these hava
resulted from the efforts of the officers
to suppress the use of intoxicants in
the home. Out of a very large num-
Der of worthy veterans in the home
there are always few boozers and
inevitably they make trouble. That
may not be the difficulty at this time,
but it is likely to be at the bottom of
the affair.
City government by commission is
receiving good deal of attention and
is being debated in many cities.
Sioux Falls has tried it and is won
derfully pleased with it to date.
WATERFOWL and Pierre have it under
consideration and will vote upon it
soon. The application of the principle
to small places has not been tried in
this state and the question of greatest
concern is one of compensation. The
mayor is limited to a salary of 100000,
while theoretically he is expected to
give his time to the public interest.
The false economy involved is man.
ifest. Pierre, as an example, a city of
1000 people and run at an annual out
lay of $4,000, is precluded from pay
ing salary that will command the
time of first class administrator.
Experience, however, is showing the
defects of the organic act and bit of
experimentation will determine the
legislation necessary to perfect the
method.

The Chestnut Horse.

There is an ancient tale of a band
Of Arabs being pursued by their enc
mics which sums up their theory about
horses color. Among the fleeing
band was a man with unusually keen
eyesight. and from time to time he
would describe to his leader the horses
ridden by the enemy.
What manner Of horses do they
ride?"
BLACK horses"
"Then there is no need of haste"
At the noon halt the leader again
asked. what manner Of horses do
they ride now?"
bay horses"
''Then we must ride harder
A few hours later the leader asked,
"Are they horsed again?"
'"rhey ride chestnuts."
'"Then we ride for our lives"

ItaIy's Rest Days.

Under a law which went into effect
Feb. 8. 1908, all industrial and COM
mercial concerns throughout Italy
must grant their employees weekly
rest of not less than twenty-four con,
secutive hours. 1t does not apply to
public utilities, transportation lines or
places of amusement. The general
sense of the law is that Sunday shall
be the rest day. but it is provided that
freedom from work may be given on a
day other than Sunday in the case Of

South Dakota has come through
the best of a long series of good years,
a year in which her soil produced in
crops, fruits, livestock and minerals
more than 5000, 900, 900; year in which
we carried away to markets beyond
the state borders more than S125, Co.,
600 of products; year at the close of
which we find more. than $4,000, 900
of reserve wealth piled up in the vaults
of our banks; wealth that is all our
own, for no one residing without the
state comes here to bank their money
as is the case in all states containing
large commercial cities. The produc-
tion of the soil, the products marketed
and the deposits in the banks are the
resources of but a half million people.
Indeed, the greatest disappointment
to our people is the fact that our pop
ulation does not increase at a greater
rate. 1t is rather surprising that with
so substantial evidences of prosperity,
extending over dozen years, with the
population of America increasing so
rapidly as it is, that this region with
it's almost limitless opportunities has
attracted relatively so little immigra-
tion. Much interest and curiosity is
manifested in the probable revelations
of the census next summer. We had
$4,000 in 1890, 401, 900 in 1900, ass, 200
in 1905, and in the last five years of
great prosperity the most sanguine do
not estimate thegrowth above loo, 900.
One would scarcely dream that
Jewish law dating back to King David
or earlier would particularly affect a
South Dakota census in 1910, but it
seems that tits destined to dose. For
sociological study race is more import
ant than nationality, and it was par
ticularly desired that race census be
taken in this state, where we have a
very large German population mailing
from half dozen countries, as Ger
many proper, Austria, Poland, Swift
erland, Holland and especially Russia.
or the latter there are about as
many Russian Germans as of those
coming from Germany. In the time
of Peter the Great special opportuni-
ties were offered to German farmers
to induce them to settle in the Crime
an region to teach the natives the arts
of agriculture, and thousands availed
themselves of the special privileges,
which among other things exempted
them from military duty. When the
father of the present car forgot about
this exemption and forced the Ger
mans into the army great numbers of
them immigrated to America, and
South Dakota became the home of
$4,000 of them, and with their Ameri-
can born children they now number
more than 10000. They lost none of
their German characteristics by their
sojourn in Russia.
We have here likewise Austrians,
Poles and Russians of Slav stock,
Russians of Cossack stock, and Swiss
of Italian lineage; SO that it will be
seen that any significant study of
these foreigners and their influence
upon our affairs must be racial rather
than by national classiications; but
when the bill for the purpose came
up in congress it was strongly opposed
by the Hebrews who adhere to the old
law, and their influence was sufficient
to defeat it.

Comparative figures of the yields of

do North Dakota and South Dakota a
real injustice. In both of these states
wild hay is one of the best and most
profitable crops, but the government
statisticians refuse to take account of
it. By the federal census of 1900 South
Dakota made 2, 045, 900 tons of wild hay
and North Dakota almost as much.

ALL-STATE TEAM
WILL Be PICKED

Shortly after the Thanksgiving
game is played, Denver sport-writers
viii pick an all-state eleven from the
high schools OF the state as well as
from the colleges. Because Grand
Junction has seldom sent team to
the eastern slope, where these ex-
perts might see them in action, local
pig-skin stars have so far failed of
place on any of the all-state teams.
But this year the Tigers will play
the best bunch of the EASTERN -slopers
in Denver some time early in Decem-
ber. and The Daily Sentinel INDUCES
in the prediction that that game will
be the means of placing a Western
Slope man on the Colorado football
map. Weston DeLong, son of Senator
Horace T. DeLong OF this city, will,
in the writer's opinion, lead any full
back in Colorado High School circles
for that position on a picked team.
DeLong has all the qualifications
of a star. He possesses speed, good
generalship. strength and superb
muscle control. His kicking is fea-
ture of every game in which he has
played. and his bulldog determine
tion has put the team on its feet
again and again when they were dis
heartened at Intellectual attacks or
heavy odds in the opposing eleven.
Budelier at center and McCary at
half-back are strong candidates for
all-state honors, but the bright par
ticular star of Western Slope football
men is DeLong. He has all the re-
quisites of the perfect full-back. and
there is great future for him when
he goes into varsity work, for there
is no question but that he will shine
as brilliantly in undergraduate COM
pany in a few years as he now does
in high school.
