The seeding of grain in the
northwest this spring is the earli-
est known in years, and under
most favorable conditions. The
acreage has been increased over
several previous years and there is
ample moisture for some time to
come. Present conditions reflect
good crops at harvest time, as the
grain will mature ahead of the
period of unfavorable conditions,
which any locality in the north
west is apt to have at the last end
of the season.

We can't help but to coincide
with the editor of the Groton Inde-
pendent in the views he expresses
in the following: "A good dog
that will give warning against the
approach of cowans and caves
droppers during the-silent watches
of the night is quite useful, but a
fool mongrel that will howl at the
moon for hours in the dark cloudy
weather, when human beings are
trying to sleep, ought to have its
bark peeled off,"

The Review is supporting Con-
gresham Burke for denomination
because we believe he is the best
man for the place. He's just the
opposite of such men as your pro-
mise breaking statesmen, Craw-
ford and Gamble, and that's why
we like him. He doesn't promise
one thing to his supporters and do
the opposite at Washington. Con-
gressman Burke is head and shoul-
ders above any insurgent candidate
for his position, and is true
worker for South Dakota's inter
ests Mt all times.

The democrats of the county
have been called to meet at Mid
land on April 2Oth, for the pur-
pose of determining what that par
ty shall do in getting be-
fore the voters at the June pri-
maries. Up to a few years ago,
the democrats were in control in
this country, but the emigration
of settlers from republican states
have changed our political status
until a fine tooth comb is needed
to find them.

Jim Hill, the father of the back
to the farm" agitation, now pre-
diets a traffic congestion next fall.
Mr.. Hill seems to be having a
tough time of it to get things in
order. If the railroads are unable
to handle the present traffic and
everybody went to farming, as he
suggests, what sort of a situation
would we have.

the subject of liquor and the saloon,
make huge noise over a Ballin-
ger controversy or some other
trivial matter and utterly ignore
their privilege and certain duty to
unseat that evil which is destroy
ing the very vitals of our national
life. 1t is not the love for drink
that makes men vote against state
prohibition or county option-it is
business. They see the awful cal
amity of hundreds of men tenn
porarily thrown out of business;
they see the closing of breweries
and distilleries that have brought
thousands of dollars annually in
to the banks of their state, and
their hearts grow faint at the
thought of shutting off this choice
revenue.
1t is not the love for drink that
makes men vote for a saloon in
their own community where as a
result, in many cases, the open
temptation brings them to ruin
and, as is more often the case,
paves the way for their boy to a
drunkard's career. 1t is business
and business only, in disregard of
the possible and probable disaster
that may follow, that prompts men
to do these things. They forget
that there is something beyond the
mere fact of a paltry existence for
the sole purpose it may be of ac-
cumulatlng wealth, or of building
upa business reputation or of
gaining political renown. They
forget that the natural tendency
of mankind is downward and that
if We would retain the fair name
and distinction of this glorious ma
ton of ours brought into existence
by the heroic sacrifice and unex-
celled craftsmanship of many of
Americas best blood, we must be
men of stamp and men of deter
mination and ready at all times
and at whatever the cost to put our
heel upon anything and everything
that makes for poor citizenship.
1t must be accepted as an axiom
that nothing good can come from
a traffic which is inherently wrong,
and such axiom will positively ap-
ply to the liquor traffic. 1t is not
like the question of high tariff as
opposed to free trade, for either
view that one might take of these
could be backed by an argument of
merit. But with the liquor ques-
ton there is no such alternative.
Liquor is a poison, it makes men
weaklings, it Injuries health, it robs
men of their natural capacity for
labor, it causes financial disaster
and ruined homes; under it's inhu-
ence man is no more responsible
than a beast, and 1t certainly tends
to lower the standard of American
citizenship.
We who are voters in Philip owe
duty to our state and nation, to
begin right here at home at the

Auto Pushed Into River.

Mrs. Frank Helma, of Gregory
county, while returning from the fun
eral of her husband at Kimball, was
Che victim of near fatal accident An
effort was being made to place the
automobile, in which she and other
members Of the funeral party were
riding on ferry boat at Wheeler. for
passage to the Gregory county side of
the Missouri river. AS the machine
was being driven upon the ferry, the
emergency brake on the auto broke and
the machine could not be stopped until
the front wheels were hanging over
the river on the outer side of the boat.
Edward Beagle, the chauffeur, jumped
into the river, and, in an attempt to
escape injury, Mrs. Helma also jumped
but she failed to jump far enough to
clear the machine and fell under it..
The back wheels passed over her body.
In order to release the unfortunate
woman it was necessary to push the
automobile overheard into the river.
While badly injured, Mrs. Helma will
Recover.

For Lower Rates.

Fifteen members of the South
Dakota Millers club, representing the
millers of the state, met at Aberdeen
last week to discuss the questio of
freight rates. An attempt will be
made to secure for South Dakota -four
ing mills the same rates as those pre-
vailing in Iowa, which are approx
mately 80 per cent lower than those in
effect in South Dakota. The COM
mittee appointed to confer with the
railroads is composed of w. H. Stokes,
Geo. P. Sexauer, c. A. Lum and H. R.
Griffin. The meeting discussed the
present high price of wheat, which it
declared to be not due to the law of
supply and demand. Minneapolis mil
lers, the delegates declared, can obtain
relief from the high prices of the
northwest by importing southern wheat
at from 10 to Is cents bushel lower
than northern grown grain, but exist
ing freight rates in South Dakota pro-
hibit South Dakota millers from doing
this.

For Protection of Deer.

State Game Warden Bancroft has
received from the national warden in
charge of Montana request that he
join in efforts to make the Slim Butte,
Cave Hills and Short Pine forest
reserves, of the Sioux reservations, a
national game preserve for deer. All
these reservations are in Harding
county, and while not directly connected
they are near together and could be
used as one national preserve. A few
deer are left in these reserves. If
included in national game preserve,
under control of the forest rangers,
who are going over the country con-
tinually, the reserves would receive
protection which the state warden can
not give them, and the deer in that
part of the state would be given an
opportunity to increase IN number. Mr..
Bancroft is inclined to follow the sug-
gestion and do what he can along the
lines proposed.

Sioux Falls Woman Elopes.

Harry Betkley, janitor at the Min
nehaha building in Sioux Falls, claims
that his wife has eloped with John w.
w. Reeder, son of west Sioux Falls
dairyman. 1t is claimed by Berkeley
that his wife asked to make visit
with relatives at Mason City and on
Thursday he gave her the money to
make the trip. Instead eff going to
Mason City he claims that she met
young Reeder and went with him to
Canada where Reeder proposes to
take up land. Efforts will be made to
locate the runaway couple and bring
them back to Sioux Falls. Reeder is
q years old, while the woman is but 19
and has been married but short time.

Taxes Reduced.

Acting as board of review, the
state assessment board, on the show
ings made, reduced the assessment of
the Adams Express company to $1,000
reduced the assessment of the Pullman
company $40, 600; and gave the North
western railway a reduction of $22, 900
on the assessment placed against them
at Huron but declined to make any
change in the assessment at Pierre.
The state levy for the next year is four
mills; and the levy on corporate prop
erty was fixed at % mills, an increase
of three mills over last year, The four
mill levy for state general taxes will
bring the state about million and a
quarter dollars from that score.

Crushed to Death.

Ernest Droegmiller, of Wagner, a
member of the j. j. Donovan pillow
gang, met instant death in a frightful
manner near Colome last week, when
he accidentally fell from the rear of
the engine beneath the heavy breaking
plows behind. Twelve plows and the
front wheel of a heavy gas tank passed
over him, crushing out his life and
badly mangling his body. An exami-

only his name and address. He was

ire'Marsha1's Report.

The annual report of the state fire
marshal, which is in the hands of the
printer, will show the following details
of fires and losses sustained in the
state for the year. The number of
fires and losses being:
Total numbar of fires reported . $50
Total damage to buildings 1888, $40. 16
Total damage to contents. 375, 142.54
Total loss. ................ S707, 991. II
About four-fifths of this loss was
returned to the owners of the property
through payments by the fire COM
panies who were carrying risks on the
property. The principal number of
fires as shown by the report were from
few causes. The largest number
from any one cause appears to have
been charged to sparks from locomo-
tives, to which forty-nine are ascribed
carrying loss of $62,O9O,15. The
other causes given for the largest num-
Der of losses were:
Children with matches ...........4 AZ
Prairie fires IA
Kerosene. Observation-Disclosures. 10
Gas and gasoline ................34
Only seven fires were reported for
the year as distinctively incendiary, as
against eighteen for the previous year.
In the seven incendiary fires proceed
ings in criminal court were brought,
and in each prosecution conviction
was secured, resulting in three SEN
fences to the penitentiary and one to
the reform school. The report contains
many valuable suggestions in regard to
fires which if followed by the public
would largely decrease the annual fire
waste of the state.

that he had been left behind, the por-

great detective, and made to appear
before their fellow citizens in their true
characters. Even some trusted public
officials have been marked for arrest.
The offenses on which Sherlock is spec
iaiizing are peculiar to the automobile
fraternity, and the sleuth hopes that
through his efforts enough will be real
lied in fines to improve block of Main
street. Ordinary criminals are immune
for the present, but those who are
endangering the lives of their fellow
citizens by forgetting to blow horns on
their automobiles are likely to be
deprived of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happinesss-or citizens.
Later-It seems that the above is
rather exaggerated and that Sherlock
is falling down-due perhaps to age.
He is not able to get his men convicted.

morning.
