TO PROTECT THE FISH.

Fearing that the general lack of
rain over the state during the past
year has caused the water in the shall
lower lakes of the state to reach a
stage so low that fish will be suf-
located this winter, State Game War
den Bancroft has notified all county
wardens in the state to open airholes
in such lakes and keep them omen I'M
til the danger is past. Because of
low water many lakes will freeze near
ly to the bottom, leaving insufficient
water for the fish to get air unless the
open spots are maintained. The state
warden has also advised that spear
ing Of pickerel in all shallow lakes be
permitted in order that the fish may
be saved for consumption before they
are 'froze out"

FARMER SECURES CHAMBERLAIN,

A. +. Chamberlain of BrookingS, SUI
pe~rintendent of the farmers institute
in South Dakota, has accepted a po-
sition with the Dakota Farmer as as
sociate editor, having charge of the
greater part of the South Dakota ar
~ticles, and the next number of the
Farmer in January will include sew
eral contributions from his pen. This
a been pending for the last two
years, but was only settled this morn
ing by a letter from Mr.. Chamberlain,
telling that the board of regents were
willing for him to accept this posi-
ton.
This will in no way interfere with
the work which Mr.. Chamberlain puts
in on the farmers institutes of the
state, the present standing of which is
largely due to his efforts. With NJ.
F., Greeley as editor, and Thomas
Shaw and Mr.. Chamberlain as asso-
ciate editors, the staff will be an ex-
~ceptiOnally strong one.
1t was found necessary to secure a
strong man for the South Dakota in
terests, as the magazine was tending
strongly toward North Dakota and
Montana interests in some directions.
Mr.. Chamberlain has been a frequent
and valuable contributor to the maya
zine, and is a valuable addition.
Mr.. Chamberlain came to South Da,
kota from his birthplace in Canada
in 1886, settling first at Redfield, later
serving in various capacities in the
state, as states attorney, ETC., until
he became superintendent in his pres
ent capacity, where he has remained,
one of the foremost agricultural edu-
cational forces in the state.-Aber-

BEGIN TUESDAY
VALUABLE INSTRUCTION ALONG
PRACTICAL LINES.
MANY EXPECTED TO ATTEND
COURSE. IN HOME ECONOMICS Of
FERED FOR YOUNG WOMEN.

On January 8 the special short
courses in agriculture, home economics
and engineering, offered by the South
Dakota State College, will commence.
The courses offered this year will con-
sist of the following subjects: Soils,
stock judging, grain buying, forage and
fodder plants, dairy, poultry, home
economics and steam engineering.
For this year there is to be several
instructors added, specialists in their
respective lines who, together with the
regular faculty, will provide the young
people who are taking advantage of
this splendid opportunity, with the
best instruction possible.
The aim of the these courses is to
~acquaint the young people, as well as
the old, with some of the most up-tO-
date methods in their respective lines.
The students of the short courses will
obtain some knowledge of the prin-
ciples underlying successful work and
with this as a beginning their inter
est IS aroused and they become desir-
Gus of learning more about their work.
The start once made can not bat in
crease the knowledge of our farmer
and through him We can look for better
and more permanent agriculture.
The courses are given at a time
when the farmers can most convenient
ly leave home. He can attend and
take a vacation and at the same time
receive the benefit Of the special ar
rangment at the college. The social
advantages and recreation which may
be derived by a few weeks from reg
ular work are of no small Importance.
Here some of the best farmers Of the
state will meet and through inter
change of ideas much is to be gained.
Discussions of the different methods
and phases in the work are also of
considerable interest.
These courses in the past have been
very successful, a large number of
young people always attend. The
courses are not, however, restricted
to young people; both old and young
attend.
The training and instruction re-
ceived in these courses is of practical
value and immediate benefit is derived
therefrom. Through the addition of
new equipment the college is now in
a position to give excellent instruction
and those who attend can assure them
selves that their time will be profitably
spent.

ETERNAL VIGILANCE THE PRICE
OF LIBERTY.

A short time before election an ar
ticle appeared in the columns Of the
daily press from the pen Of Adjt. Gen.
Ehglesby, which was written to in
fluence voters in the interest Of the
military law that was then pending
before the people of this state for their
approval or veto.
Shortly after and just prior to cleo
ton another article from the same
source appeared in the columns of
Public Opinion.
No one questions Mr.. E~nglesby's right
to write articles in favor of any law
or other proposition of a public nature
and most people will commend him
for thus giving expression to his views
which, no doubt, were arrived at af-
ter mature deliberation. This should
be a free country and to give express
sion to ones opinion on public mat
tiers is a privilege that should be en-
cOuraged.
We have no fault to find with Mr..
E~nglesby's argument favoring the law,
although we do not agree with him.
But We do find fault with him and
object to the hint, strongly conveyed
in the article in Public Opinion, that
the smallest minority would disregard
the will of the large majority.
Mr.. Englesby admitted that the bill
was very likely to be defeated and
he intimated very strongly that an
other bill along the same lines and n
that would be as drastic would be in
troduced in the next legislature and,
probably, passed without being sub
mitted to the people for their approval
or veto. Since the election l have
heard a rumOr on the street that
seemed to eminate from a member
elect of the next legislature that an
other and similar bill would not only
I've introduced but would be passed and
with an emergency clause, too"
1t would hardly seem possible that
any man would even think of introduc-
ing another bill for a similar military
law after the decisive veto, seven to
one, that the people gave the last
bill. But, it is just such acts as that,
where the few, when they have the
power, disregard the rights and wishes
Of the many, that called forth from the
big-hearted statesman that memorable
expression, Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty"
When will the American people get
wise enough to do away with the sys-
TENS that require Eternal vigilance"
on their part to maintain their FIBER
ties? Always for fair play and ma
jority rule.
