faith throughout.
For ten years Dakota Territory was
the football of politics, the haven of
the c~arpetbagger. The conflicting am.
billions of adventures stood in the
way of her hope, but DISTINGUISHED and
dispised, the homebuilders of South
Dakota resolved that they would re-
main out of the Union indefinitely rath-
er than impose upon their children the
inequality of statehood without divi-
sion. Their courage and patience pre-
vailed and the prize was won with all
the stipulations for freedom which they
had battled for.

Geo. p. S%eXauer, proprietor Of the
Brookings roller mills, this week re-
ceived a report from the Howard
Wheat and Flour Testing laboratory of
Minneapolis, on his Perfection flour.
The report covered tests Of samples
from twenty-five of the best mills in
he northwest and showed Perfection
topped the highest grade flour in the
lot. To attain such a result the
Brookings mill must not only have
TO buy the best wheat, but it has
to be scientifically milled, and the re-
suit is a high compliment indeed for
Mr.. Sexauer. At the present time the
mill has more business than they can
attend to and it's output is booked
weeks ahead.

SCHOOL BOARD
NAMES TEACHERS
PRESENT CORPS ELECTED FOR
NEXT YEAR.
ATHLETICS IS DISCUSSED
AND PLANS MADE FOR IMPROVE
MENTS AT PUBLIC SCHOOL.

The city school board met on Fri
day evening and reelected the entire
teaching corps of the city schools for
another year. The past years work
at the schools has been a very satisfac-
tory one and the board felt that it
could do no better than to retain the
present efficient force of teachers. OF
course, some of the teachers may not
accept the positions offered, but it is
hoped and expected that the great ma
jority will return another year.
The corps is as follows: c. F..
Brown. superintendent: Ralph l.. Pat
ty principal; Frances Hicks, Gussie b.
Hebron, F. Mildred Clark, Mary c..
Young, Marie o. Acomb, Isadore Pres
colt, Esther PIERCE, Ella M. Drew.

cora j. Hurlburt.
Spring athletics were discussed at
some length and Principal Patty stated
that he had plans under way for the
best schedule that the track team has
ever had. Three good meets will be
arranged, which will give the boys
plenty of competition and will keep
them in training throughout the sea-
son. They will participate in the regu-
lar state high school meet to be held
under the auspices of the State college
and dual meets will be arranged with
Huron high school and with the fresh
men and sophmores classes at the
college. 1t is probable that the meet
with Huron will take place in this
city. The outlook for a good track
team is excellent, as there Is some
good material in the squad and we may
expect to see the boys make a very
creditable showing.
The board also discussed a number
of improvements to be made at the
school building. Fire escapes will be
installed, in response to the demands
of the people and which are also re-
quired by state law, and the fire
drills will be resumed. The board is
contemplating the construction OF
closets within the building, which will
remove the present u~nsanitary and un.
slightly closets from the grounds.
Several improvements in the course
of study are contemplated, including
manuel training and a business course.

SHOULD GET INTO THE FIELD.

r. o. Richards, chairman of the re-
publican primary organization, gave
it as his suggestion, in an official state
ment. that all progressive re-
publican candidates, who have not al
'eady announced themselves, for state
and federal Offices, should, in justice
to the progressive republican organi-
cation, make their announcement at
once in order for the organization to
treat everybody fairly"
Then after the tentative
ments, all progressive candidates and
the state and executive committees
will be invited to meet at Huron to de-
eide by majority vote who shall re-
ceive the support of the regular pro-
gressive organization. The stalwarts
having suppressed all but one candi-
date for each office, the progressives
will try to arrive at an amicable ar
rangement between the candidates, of
possible, whereby only one candidate
will file for each office.
Majority rule being the principle
underlying our form of government,
the plan suggested would seem the
only fair way to give each progressive
candidate an equal show to have his
appeal for support fairly considered
by the regular progressive organiza-
ton and to have the final result mutu-
ally agreed to by the progressive can
didates in order to present a solid
front with only one candidate for each
place. This for the purpose that no
ones ambition, should be foreclosed
upon, even by the majority, without a
hearing.
MI. Richards also suggests that the
county organizations encourage the
strongest candidates and pursue the
same course, as far as possible, In re-
gard to county and legislative candi-
dates, and asks that the candidates
for the legislature be pledged to the
progressive platform adopted at Hur-
on February "a. 1910.
Thursday, March 10. Ii the day set
for the candidates and the state com
mittee to meet ct Huron.

RIVER MEETING AT PIERRE.

The committees in charge of the
work Of promotion of the state meet
ing of deep waterways which will be
held in Pierre on the 30th and 3lst of
this month has been busy since their
selection, and are receiving a great
deal of encouragement. c. +. Deland,
for the occasion has received assur-
ances from the Omaha commercial
club, that they will have representa-
tives at the meeting. The officers of
the Mississippi Valley Transportation
company, with headquarters at St.
Louis have notified Mr.. DeLand of
their intention to be represented. Com
mercial clubs at Kansas City, Sioux
City and other river towns say they
will be represented, and a representa-
tive of the National Rivers and Har-
bors congress will be in attendance.
All show that the movement for river
navigation is no more a mere local one,
but one which is receiving the atten-
ton of the whole of the Mississippi
valley water shed, and has for it's aim
a general development Of the water
transportation facilities in the graf
central valley of the country.
Besides the encouragement from the
cities and towns along the streams are
a number Of letters from towns away
from the rivers where the interest is
apparently growing, and that there will
be a good general attendance from the
state generally at the meeting. There
is an apparent general growing feeling
over the state that by the proper de-
velopment of the freight carrying capa-
bilities of the Missouri, which cuts the
state practically in the center, that
every town in the state will secure a
benefit on freight rates, which Is one
Of the objects of greatest interest to
the northwest at the present time.
Besides the lone question Of naviga-
ton other matters closely connected
with movement of freight by water are
being investigated, and will be discus
sed among the possibilities Of benefits
from river navigation. One Of these
Is the proper handling OF the Ignite

COMMISSIONERS
ARE DEFEATED
JUDGE GARLAND DECIDES IN
FAVOR OF
THE EXPRESS COMPANIES
AND THAT RAILROAD COMMtSS,
TONER'S EXCEED AUTHORITY.

Judge Garland of the federal
court, rendered a decision last
Thursday which is a complete
victory for the express cCms
panies doing business in South Dakota.
He holds in substance that the act of
the legislature did not give the board
OF railroad commissioners authority
to make the schedule Of rates com
planned Of by the express companies,
which vas a general reduction Of 20
per cen from the rates in effect Jan
uary l, 1909.
Judge Carland's decision fully re.
views the act of the last legislature
providing for the reduction Of express
and concludes as follows:
The words such schedule refer to
the rates established by the action,
and the power given is only to change,
modify and establish a rate in such
schedule that has been found to be
unjust or too high or discriminatory.
1t seems clear that the legislature for
fear it might in some cases do an in
justice by making a horizontal reduc.
ton in rates by sections 5 and 6 OF
chapter 159 intended to provide a
remedy to the express company OF
any person interested to complain in
particular instances of the injustice oil
a rate which would be created by the
provisions of section 4. AS the court
is of the opinion for the reasons here
in stated that the board of railroad
commissioners had no authority tC
make a schedule of rates complained
of, it is not necessary to determine
whether chapter 159 is valid legisla
ton or not"
Chapter 159 is the act Of the legis
lature regarding the reduction Of ex
press rates. Judge Carland's decision
which was rendered on demurrers fileC
by the railroad commission, virtual!
throws the case out of court, as Their,
Is nothing further to fight about.

MEN
IN MOVEMENT
THE lAYMEN'S MISSIONARY So
GETTY
WILL MEET AT MITCHELL
MARCH 20, 80 AND 81 AND A BIG
CROWD is EXPECTED.

The laymens' Missionary Movement,
the state convention of which is to be
held in Mitchell, March 20, 80, 81, has
drawn many able and prominent men
of this country to it's support, and who
have given it t. cir cordial assistance
and endorsement. One of the great
state conventions held in connection
with this movement was at Washing
ton, ID. c., and it was remarkable from
the fact that so many men prominent
in the eye of the public participated in
the proceedings. President Taft had
just returned from his trip across the
country and made the chief address at
the opening meeting of the convention.
There nus be something of All i'm
ortant nature in this missionary move
ment of the business men of the coun-
try when the ~sympathies of the presi-
dent are aroused. President Taft
spoke particularly of the work of the
missionaries in the PHILIPPINE islands
and told of the great good being done
by the missionaries, of their trials and
tribulations, of the terrible hardships
they endure, of the awful homesick-
ness that seizes one in the Orient.
He condemned those who speak i'll of
the missionaries. In concluding, he
declared: Il am here not SO much to
talk as by my presence to express the
deep sympathy l have in this move
ment that you, | hope, are so sue
cessfully inaugurating."
This great Washington meeting was
presided over by Clifford Pinchot, un-
til recently chief of the forestry SER
vice, and this one paragraph from his
opening address indicates how the
great forester appreciates the work
that is to be done:
This Laymen's Missionary Move.
ment is the concrete eXemplification
of the idea that We must use intelli.
gently farsightedly, unitedly, every
spiritual force we have now, or that
can be developed for the one great
central purpose of spreading the
Kingdom of Christ all ver this world.
This is church unity iE it's practical
aspect. This is the best example that
! has eve been given of the fact that
all Christian people march together
under one single banner, the banner
of Christ"

DEATH OF r. RYERSON.

r. Ryerson passed away at his home
in this city on Monday, after an i'll
ness extending over several months.
The funeral was held yesterday after
w. A. Black of the NJ. E. church.
Reinerth Ryerson was born in Nor.
way, Europe, on the third of June
1S49. About the time that Mr.. Ryer.
son reached his majority he came to
America. In 1870 he took up his resi-
dence in Chicago. He was living in
that city at the time of the great fire.
He spent severe years in Illinois and
formed attachments in that state such
as one might have for his own native
land. He experienced peculiar pleas
ure in visiting his DAUGHTERS after they
took up their residence among the
scenes of those days. He has been
none the less loyal, of course, to the
place of his residence during the last
years of life.
In 1877 Mr.. Ryerson was married to
Mrs. Ryerson, who survives him, in
Dixon, Illinois. He was an affection
ate husband, and was peculiarly happy
in his domestic relations. Two daugh.
tiers, Miss Helen l.. Ryerson NJ. D., and
Miss Grace Inga Ryerson, both of
Chicago, constitute the family. Both
of the daughters, together with their
mother, have been present to minister
to their fathers comfort in his last
days. He expressed his keen satisfac.
ton in having, at the end, the family
circle around him complete.
Mr.. Ryerson came to Brookings in
1886, since which time this city has
been his home. He will long be re-
membered among us, as a true friend,
an honest man of business, an accom-
modating neighbor, an upright, indus,
trious citizen, a kind, indulgent father,
Christian, a lover of all hat was pure
The Luthern faith was the religion
in which Mr.. Ryerson was reared
When he married he united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, of which
he has been a quiet, useful, and con.
sistent member. He was accustomed
to narrate a little incident which oc-
Cured at the time of his embarkment
for America. His minister, being very
fond of the youth, came down to the
landing to see him off. After the fare
wells had been spoken, and the small
boat was carrying the passengers out
ID the ship, the minister, pointing to
Heaven called "Reinerth, remember
the Man up there" Mr.. Ryerson never
forgot, nor disregarded that good coun-
sci. He loved his Bible, and was up
cid by its unfailing consultations. The
last chapter that he read was the
story OF Lazarus whom Jesus raised
from death. Though his strength was
at low ebb, and the tide of life was al
most out, his interest was such that
he presevered until he had read the en-
tire chapter, and in it he found sub
s~tantial comfort.
Being of a quiet and difident dis.
position, Mr.. Ryerson did not assume
leadership among men, nor vigorously
assert himself in public affairs, wheth-
er Of church or state. None the less.
his memory leaves with the world the
sweet fragrance of purity and honor.
To those who knew him we'll, his mod
est life vas a convincing testimony to
the power and sufficiency of the Gospel
of Christ. -"
