terror, the interior decorations and
paintings, and the general utility
Of the building are such as to leave
very little to be desired. The
furniture throughout is massive
and can not but strike the approval
of the visitor. In a word, no state
has ever been able to build such a
building for the sum of money ex-
pended for our capitol building.
More than that, it has been
constructed without ever so much
as a suggestion of graft on the part
of anyone. That is something in
these days.

and the business interests of the
country breathe easier. For nearly
seven months congress has been in
session and since its opening hour
until it's adjournment one business
interest after another has become
alarmed, and paused in it's course
awaiting action of congress or it's
adjournment, SO that it might know
where it was at. The largest in
terest to suffer was of course the
railroad interests. During the
present congress one hundred
twenty-five bills have been intro
duced which effect railroads ex-
tensively, besides the ''administra-
ton railroad bill. Most of these
bills were merely handicaps on
railroad business without Offering
single advantage to the country
and introduced by members who
felt that they might gain standing
with their constituency by strik-
ing at the railroads. In view of
this hostility to railroads manifest
ed in congress, it is not strange
that the management stop plann-
ing improvements and cease max
ing extensions. South Dakota has
along with other western states
suffered by this anti railroad craze.
just how much further it will con,
tinue no one can tell, but it is safe
to say that it will not stop until
aspiring politicians and cheap dem
agogic statesman fail to find the
subject one upon which they car
ride into Office.

A Sermon For The Discouraged

This is the season of the year
when the knocker is abroad in the
land west of the Missouri river.
He takes advantage of the wal m
weather and the dry hot winds and
paints picture calculated to dis
courage the timid settlers. One
listening to his story would be
quite sure that no other spot on
the face of the earth is quite so
dry as Stanley county, South Da-
kota. He says nothing of North
Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska,
part of Iowa, and much of our
own state east of the river. Nor
does he tell you that much of the
situation that seems to alarm him
so much is due to the methods of
farming in vogue with some of our
farmers, rather than the inherent
climatic conditions of the country.
The truth about the matter is
that we are pioneers, and our
country is bound to remain a pio-
neer agricultural country for
several years yet to come. Much
of our farming is done in a hap
heard and unscientific manner.
For part of this we are to blame;
for much of it We are not. As we
have remarked before, farming
means something more than turn
ing over the raw prairie sod, plant
ing the grain, and leaving the field
to the various fortunes of sun, rain
and wind. OF course, the sod
must be subdued but after that it
must be farmed, and farmed scien-
tifically, too, in order to conserve
moisture and incourage plant
growth.
Many of our trials come, how
ever, from no fault of our own. The
country is so new and we are such
strangers to its conditions that it
is wonder that we accomplish
anything. Western South Dakota
is not Iowa, Illinois. Minnesota, or
even the eastern part of our own
state. Our problems here are very
different from what most of us
have encountered before coming
here. In many parts of Illinois
and Iowa the problems are likely
TO be problems Of drainage rather
than those of moisture conservation
and The farmer who has spent
much Of his life with . tile spade
struggling to get rid Of his sur
plus moisture is likely to be some
What taken back when he gets up
against tie problem Of keeping

The New Capitol Building Dedicated

Inc New Capitol Building Dedicated
The new capitol building at
Pierre was dedicated last Thursday
afternoon. The Odd Fellows of
the state had charge of the cere-
monies, which were carried out in
\ most impressive manner. They
marched to the building escorted
by the Fourth Regiment Band of
Watertown and q company of
Pierre militia. Joining with men,
bers of the Rebekah lodge, the
exercises we're held within the cor
ridor of the main floor. The halls
and overlooking balconies were
packed with spectators, and it is

The Conservation Congress

Those who fathered the conser-
walton congress scheme at Pierre
last week, must have been well
satisfied over the large crowds that
were in attendance. Delegates
we're in attendance from every
county in the state, and besides
these hundreds of people from near
by counties were attracted to the
meeting.
A long and interesting program,
covering the three days of the
congress, was carried out substan-
TALLY as published. There were
probably fifty people who con-
tributed addresses and papers to
the program, and these participants
included some of the leading pro-
fessional, business men, and politi-
clans of the state, as we'll as speak
ers from Colorado, Minnesota,
Iowa, North Dakota, Illinois,
and Washington, d. G. The
meeting concerned itself in a gen
eral way with cons ,rvation of the
states resources, but the topics
discussed covered a wide range.
Governor Vessey, Senator Craw-
ford, Judge Whiting, President
Gault of the state university at
Vermillion, and Ex-Governors
Elrod, Herried, and Lee presided
over various sessions of the con-
gress, and delivered addresses as
presi3ing officers,
The congress adopted a set of
resolutions endorsing the conser-
vation policy of the federal govern
ment and rejected a resolution,
offered by Black Hills delegates,
favoring system of state control
OF natural resources as opposed to
the present control by the general
government. The Black Hills
people claim to have had a taste of
conservation in connection with the
Black Hills Forest reserve that has
soured them on the whole policy of
conservation as now being carried
forward by the present administra-
ton. The discussion, though limit
ed, was brisk on this phase of the
resolutions. The vote forced on
the minority report offered by the
Black Hills delegates, though not
sufficient to adopt the report,
showed a strong sentiment in its
favor. The indications are that
something has been stirred up over
conservation in this state.
Among the notable speakers may
be mentioned Governor Eberhart
of Minnesota. The governor spoke
Thursday evening to an audience
that packed the auditorium, and
was one of the few speakers that
succeeded in making himself heard
throughout the hall. He is hap
py speaker, not averse to joke
when one is needed to enliven the
thread of his discourse or to drive
home point in his argument. lie
spoke in a general way of farm
conditions, their improvement, and
the problem of the farmer boy and
girl drifting cityward. On the
whole, he made the most significant
contribution to discussions of the
congress.
We believe that the congress was
much larger success than might
be supposed from a mere superb
cisl view. The delegates and visi-
tors took home a good many things
to think about, and the good ac-
complished is not likely to be over
estimated.
Pierre, as usual, did itself proud
10 entertaining it's guests and look
ing after their welfare. We hope
that annual congresses will be held
at the capital city Of the state.
This is . good start. Next time it
vii! be possible to do even better
still.

ing here, some experience with
somewhat drouthy conditions.
We will learn to know our land
and it's problems in time; and when
nature once comes to have fami-
liar look to US, we will go forth to
grapple with the problems of agri-
culture joyously and with conf
dence in our strength. We will
not only learn much about con-
servation of moisture, but we will
learn much about the crops and
their adaptation to the conditions
that we find here. The Siberian
alfalfas, durum wheat, hardy ryes
and barleys, fruits crossed with
our wild varieties, and other plants
adapted to dry conditions will do
much to furnish solution for the
difficulties we are facing.
We must never lose sight of the
fact that we are pioneer people
facing conditions somewhat sterner
than those o, dinarily met with in
a pioneer agricultural country. In
the states of the Mississippi valley,
the settler found rainfall, climate,
soil, and other conditions favoring
his agricultural operations. He
had simply to subdue the native
sod. Yet we have already made
more progress in five years than
the settlers of Illinois made in
twenty years. Let us realize,
though, that our progress from
this stage on is likely to be less
rapid, and let us get our wind now
for steady and burdensome pull.
In the end we will win great
victory and be privileged to look
upon land marked for the pros
perity and happiness of the people
who dwell therein.
In the meantime we will have
the kickers and the knockers with
us. They are a part of the adyers'
conditions that characterize thi!
new country. Tough prairie sod
exhorbitant railroad rates, scanty
rainfall, potato bugs, and knock
ers-these are the things we ar
up against.
Some of the knockers will g
back east, because it is too ho
here in the summer or too cold il
the winter; others, because it is too
dry, and still others because i,
rains too much and the gumbo is
too sticky. We can we'll afford to
lose them. They ought not to
have come here in the first place.
Western South Dakota is no place
for them. They are not the stuff
of which nation builders are made,
and the sooner they get back to
the beaten track the better it will
be for them and for us. Their
place is in some little eastern town
where the gossips sit round thu
country store and spit at the stove
They will find vacant place il
the circle left by them fourteen
months before, and through th'
long winter evenings will tell tn
crowd, while they toast their shins
what a hell of a place South Da
kOta is.
The real empire builder will sta,
right here. They will grappl'
|, with the difficulties of pioneer lif'
joyously, like ''the strong mar
who goes forth to run a race.
Undaunted by obstacles in thei
path and never for one momen
discouraged at seeming defeats
they will 60 on with the work YET
hardly commenced and in the end
live to recall ''hot winds" and dry
years. merely as a memory o1
pioneer days, as ague is a memory
of pioneer days in Illinois.

There was much objection on the
part of some of the delegates at the
6Veption congress held 1t Pierre
las. week to The general manner
in which the program was planned
and carried out. Delegates were
appointed from all over the state
and the affair was called a congress
- convention. The delegates
ware. however, given noA0pportu-
r;tv TO contribute to the program
or take part in discussion of the
various papers read. On the whole,
y,ure was less than fifteen min
ute's discussion, we believe, during
the three days upon the floor of
the meeting. The program was
contributed in the main by college
professors and university presi-
dents. Though there were excep-
tions to the rule, many of the
papers were read in dry as dust
fashion and contained little of in
terest to the farmers and business
men present. On two different
occasions, rows were almost start
ed by delegates who wished to
discuss various conversation topics.
We believe that there was much
justice in the kick made by the
delegates. An affair of this kind
should be open to the fullest and
fairest discussion. Every paper
should be discussed, if there is a
delegate in the hall who has any
thing he wishes to offer in connec-
ton with the subject It is all
right to have the college professor

SOUTHERN PREsBYTERIANS.

The fifteenth annual meeting o. the
general assembly Of the Southern Pres.
byterian Church begin at Lewisturg,
W. Vs., today. The assembly will be
10 session ten days
A. some time during the meeting o

tive OF the semi-centennial Of the orgsui-
zation Of the body.
One OF the important subjects to come
up will be 10 the report Of committee
Of which Rev. Dr.. E. @. Gordon, Of
Lexington, Mo, Is chairman. This
committee is composed of some OF the
ablest men Ia the church aud has been at
work for several years revising the cita.
ton OF texts from the Scriptures which
are used to prove the doctrines of the
confession Of faith and the cate
chisms.
Another matter Of this same general
character is sconnected With what is popu-
Isrly known as "the elect Infant clsuss"
10 the confession of faith. This clluse
states the belief Of the church that In.
fsnts dying In infantcy are saved. Bat
the form OF expression u,ed In tuch that
some outside the church have misunder-
stood and misinterpreted 1t, and so have
misrepreseuted the views Of the Presby-
terian Church. The question under
consideration is as whether any change
shall be made Ia the wording OF the
clause.
There Is no differences of opinion as
to the doctrine taught on this subjs sct
BY the confession Of faith.
Another committee, Of which the
present moderator OF the assembly,
Rev. DR.. W. E. BoegS, of Atlanta. ID
chairman, Is 10 make rtp1rt on polyg'
amy and divorce. The sucject OF polyg-
amy sometimes comes up In connec'
tion with the foreign mission work 10
hesthern countries where the practice
is common.
The membership which this assembly
represents covers all the sonlheFu and
southwestern states, reaching from
Maryland to Texas and from Missouri
to Florida. 1t is composed o, IA synods
