Ray l.. Dillman, the former well
known college student and orator,
sends us a copy Of his paper, teh Dew
ey county Advocate published at Tim
Der Lake. one of the new towns on
the newly opened Standing Rock res
ervation. While the Advocate is less
than a month old it looks to be a pref

to promote the growth and prosper

learn that there is a merry county

Timber Lake is one of the contes-

winning out.
An Arkansas paper tells a story Of
a mar who was caught in the woods
during a storm. He didn't want to
get wet and the only dry place he
could find was a hollow log in which
he managed to crawl. The rain lasted
a couple of hours, when the fellow
decided he had better go home. He
tried to eXtricate himself from the log,
but the soft wood had swelled and he
couldn't bulge. There alone in the
desolate woods, many miles from
human habitation, he thought of all
the meannes he had done, the poor

The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader is en-
tirely right in saying that it would
only make the initiative and referen-
DUN system worse, as it stands, to
publish only the titles Of the laws.
The only cure is to raise the percen-
tage of voters required to secure re-
ference OF a law. This would make
sure hat no law was referred with
out a real demand for it. If it should
be stipulated that % per cent OF the
voters must ask for a vote on a law
before t Is granted, a single man
could not send a measure to the bal
lot, as was done the past year, and
on the other hand no law really OBJ
noxious to the public could gain &C
cess TO the states code.-Mitchell Re

man lay for hours thinking when all
at once it dawned upon him that he
had his home paper for three years
without paying a cent for it and 1t
made him feel so small that he
crawled out of the log through a knot
hole.
Advertising is talking. A business
man cannot very well stand at the
door Of his place of business and tell
the passerG by Of the goods he has
for sale, and their prices. Even II III
a measure he could do it the result
would not, for various reasons, be
very satisfactory. But through the
medium of his local paper he can
reach the whole community in the
most effective way under the most
favorable circumstances. OF all the
varied forms OF advertisements ex-
p%erience has conclusively proved that
there is none that brings such good
returns as generous, attractive adj
yertising in the columns Of the press.
II is read in the quiet home and dis
cussed BY the whole family, and the
result to the merchant is increased
sales and charging business.-Lake

TO e A MILLION.

What "A Million for tuberculosis
from Red Cross Seals will do in the
checking of consumption, is explained
in a bulletin issued by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
Counting every available bed for
consumptives in the United States,
even those in almshouses, penal insti-
tutions, and hospitals for the insane,
there are at the present time accom-
modations for hardly 10000 tubercu-
losis patients. This is just about one
bed for every ten INDECENT consump-
tives, and If all tuberculous in the
country are counted, both rich and
poor, hardly n for every twenty-five
or thirty. If sufficient hospital ac-
commodations are provided only for
those who are too poor to pay the full
price for their treatment, fully 275, 900
more beds in special institutions for
tuberculosis would be needed at once.
The immense outlay necessary to pro-
vide and maintain so many beds in
hospitals, makes it imperative, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis declares,
that such institutions be erected from
public money, either municipal, county
or state. In order to get %appropria-
tons for public hospitals for tubercu-
losis, agitation is necessary, and in
order to create a campaign of agita-
ton, organization is demanded. But
in order that an organization may
carry on an effective campaign, funds
are needed.
These funds it is proposed to secure
in a s many communities as possible
from the sale of Red Cross Seals.
Thus the National Association says
if a million dollars is realized from
the sale of Red Cross Seals, millions
more will be added to it from the pub
lie treasures. Last year %, 1000 900
stamps were sold. 1t is aimed this
year to sell four times as many.

Politics is a mans game. The
average woman is no more capable of
playing it successfully than she is
OF playing football successfully. This
was demonstrated yesterday at the
meeting of the South Dakota State
Federation Of Women's clubs, when
the woman suffrage advocates forced
the convention to commit itself on
woman suffrage-only to find that the
majority of the votes cast were in OPP
position to suffrage. If men had been
running the convention they would
have polled the delegates first, and
upon finding a majority would vote
against the resolution it would never
have been presented for considera-
tion. Such a procedure would have
left the suffragists In a much better
position.-Aberdeen News.

An Aberdeen mans suggestion that
each automobile owner in Brown
county be assessed ten dollars a year
for road work looks like a good one,
for that or any other county. We do
not think any automobilist would OBJ
ject to paying ten dollars If the tax
would result in good roads and he
would find a pretty good investment
when figuring up his repair bills at
the end of the year.
