BOOSTS FOR
BIG RACE MEET
Commercial Club Meets And
IndOrSeS New School
House
Special Business Meeting Brings
Out Big Attendance Mon
day Evening

A special meeting of the CONNER
cial Club was called at the rooms
Monday evening to take up several
questions of vital Importance to the
city. A large number of the men,
bers we're present and took part in
the discussions as they came up.
Chief among the topics for con-
sideration was the question of the
new school house, which was to be
voted upon the next day. After a
number of speeches on the subject,
and thorough discussion of it, the
club was unanimous in indorsing
the new building. and a committee
was appointed to see that as large a
vote as possible was brought out.
Another important question that
came before the club was the rac
meet for next summer. Messrs
Collins, Corcoran, and Erichsen,
representing the horse interests,
presented the proposition of secur-
ing the meet at Miller on and dur
ing the week of July 4th, to be
combined with that celebration.
Their plan was to get the club
to stand back of a guarantee for
two big stake races, CT $500 apiece,
one pacing and one trotting race.
This would make a total guarantee
OF $500, the club to make up the
deficit, if there should happen to be
any. The proposition was very fav-
orally received by the club, and they
authorized the horsemen to attend
the meeting of the Corn Belt Circuit
at Pipestone. Mimi this week and
secure those dates If possible. This
will insure a rousing big celebration
at Miller next summer.
+ The other business 10 conae before
the club was the proposition of Sc.
curing a cigar factory for Miller.
This question was referred to the
committee on Manufacturing, which
consists of G.. X. Beals, II. Jay
Cooke. and r. II. Andrews. They
are to look the matter up and make
a report TO the club at another
meeting.

The Passion PLAY

The little village of Oberammer-
gau in Germany is in the lmelight
again for the first time IN a decade.
The Passion Play is to be presented
there again this coming summer and
will attract many thousands of visi-
tors from all over the world. There
are about fourteen hundred people
in this little town and I'VE seven
hundred of them take active part in
the performance of the Passion Play.
These people are said to live the
auietest kind Of a life, and to spend
the ten years between each perfor-
nance in preparation. They try to
live the part which thew take in the
PLAY. and the atmosphere surround
ing them and their village is like q
benediction.
The Passion Play is sacred to ODER,
ammergau. The custom is nearly as
old as the town itself, and is handed
down fremone generation TO aneth'
err. The Play is the Story of the
Life of Christ, ..as is taken from the
-Bibbtte, and a=esanted-exe ter

Learning vs.. Charity

and towns to the old and physically
impaired should be abolished, be-
cause the recipients of such charity
have ceased to be useful to the world
and considerations o. economy re-
quire that the money should be de-
voted to saving younger and more
hopeful cases"
Thus writes a Harvard physiology
professor, who must have been
thirsting for the scarchlight of pub.
llcity. His theory Of building fol
the future might be alright, taker
in a strictly cold blooded, business
like sense, but it will not bear the
test of humanity.
Life, itself, either for this Oh
future generations, would not ht
worth while if purchased at such /;
price. "The quality of mercy is no
strained" and when it is put on
business basis of that sort, it ceases
to be mercy or charity. Charity, il
the true sense of the term, canno
be measured ny economic principles
and a civilization based upon such
theory would fell into oblivion mucl
sooner than did the civilization o
ancient Greece and Rome. Man

MEAT BOYCOTT
GROWS RAPIDLY
Movement Not To Eat Meat Till
Prices. Arc Lower

The crusade against the high prices
of meat has become almost national
within the past week. 1t is especial
~ strong i'm the large cities. where
the prices are practically prohibitive
to the working classes. but it is also
a subject of acute interest to the
country at large. 1t has been dem
onstrated that man can live and
thrive without eating a morsel of
meat, and if the consumers will
stick to their boycott for a few
weeks. meat will become a drug on
the market and the prices are sure
to come down.
Following are the terms of the
pledge which the crusaders are
adopting.
We. as wage e%arners, are willing
to assist the state and municipalities
in probing into the high cost Of meat
which is almost prohibitive.
This agitation can best become eff
fective by refraIning from eating
meat for a period of 80 DAYS. If thi.
does not bring the price within the
means of poor people, then we vii
refrain from eating meat for 81

NEW SCHOOL
ASSURED FACT
Election For Issuing Bonds
Carries By Big
Majority
Women Turn Out i'm Force
To Express Their
Minds

The new school building is now a
certainty. The election Tuesday
afternoon on the question of issuing
bonds resulted in a big majority in
favor of the proposition. The total
vote cast was 1888, out of that num-
Der 3O2 voting for. and sc against,
issuing the bonds, On the question
as to whether the school board
should have the privilege of dispos-
ing of the old buildings as they see
best, there were 297 votes for and 76
against. Out Of the total vote cast,
125 were women.
These figures tell the story them
selves, and it is a decisive one. The
people of Miller are united on the
proposition of wanting a new school
house, and do not believe in allow
ing personal interests to obscure
their better judgement. The over
whelming majority is very crafty
ing, and speaks well for the advan-
cement of all such meritorious en-
terprises in the future Of Miller.
The unanimous backing of the Com
mercial Club was undoubtedly a
a strong feature in the result of the
election.
The school beard report that they
have made no definite plans a yet
IN regard to the building, but will
Immediately take up the matter of
specifications, contracts, etc. The
work will be rushed through the
summer and the new building com
plpted by next fall.

GREAT FUTURE
AS FRUIT STATE
HOrticuIturistS Tell of Progress In
Breeding Hardy Fruits

Yankton, Jan. 22-The South Da-
kOta Horticuiturists are in session IN
this city today. A leading feature
was Prof. N. f, llanScn's cOntrihu,
ton Progress IN Breeding Hardy
F~uits." This title at once pro-
claims that Prof. Hansen was on his
own ground, and in Il field that has
made his name known all over the
United States. Prof. Hansen told
of great triumphs as though they
were hardly worth the mention, vet
many short sentences spelled wealth
untold for future South Dakotans.
As an illustration Prof. Hansen
said, Il believe Cab say that within
ten years we will have a pear as
hardy as the Siberian crab apple"
Prof. Hansen said he also had big
hopes of raspberries, blackberries
and other fruits, and also that soon
he would have a beautiful native
rose that would never suffer from
winter-cold.

when Doctors Disagree

The question as to whether the
women of South Dakota, Oregon and
Washington want the ballot is to be
voted upon in these three states next
November, and the campaign is
waxing hotter and hotter, It is
under the erection of the National
Woman's Suffrage Association, and
they are flooding these states with
their literature. One Of the English
leaders said recently that the great
est drawback to the cause IN America
is the amused indifference with
which our men treat the subject,
that actual opposition would be cas-
Ter to combat.
AID this is apparently the at
titude of the voters of South
Dakota, they consider it all rs a
huge joke. They are perhaps not
absolutely and directly opposed to
Suffrage, but they consider that the
vast majority Of women do not
want the BALLOT And the leaders
of the cause recognize this fact also,
but their claim is that this vast ma,
iority of women do not know what
is best for themselves, and that it is
their duty to enlighten them.
The leader Of the National Associa,
ton. Anna B. Shaw, has been DIES.
