We heard one of our young men
making sport of religion in front of
our Office the other day. His NOUS
tache had just began to sprout and
and judging from his talk his mental
faculties were not as well developed
as his morstache. During our brief
stay upon earth we have seen many
just such young men cold in death.
We have seen the atheist at rest in
his casket, but before being consign-
ed 10 their resting place they have
all been carried through the doors of
a church and had prayers said over
them. This young man could scott
at religion in his strength and beau
ty of health. but il the dark angel
should get after him he would in
|stinctively regret what he SAID and
look into the future with fear and
trembling. When one stands before
the open door OF eternity his desire
to scott at religion vaiiishes. We ad-
nit there are bad men in the church.
but even these black sheep in the
flock might be blacker if they were
outside. No young man or old one
either. should condemn the noble eff
forts. the army of CHI istian men and
women are making towards lettering
the condition of things. and whether
we attend church or not but few of
us would desire to live in commu-
nifty where there was no church.
Young man, in the future, if you
must scott at religion, please get
little further from our Office if you do
not want to see your name in print.

The Needs Of the Young.

Your children are apt to think
that what you do is right. They have
no ideal of truth or righteousness
but yourself. Things which you do,
knowing at the time to be wrong,
they take to be right. They reason
this way: Father always does right
Father did this. Therefore this is
right" That is good logic but bad
premises. No one ever gets over
having had bad example set him.
Your conduct MOI than your teach
ing makes impressions. Your laugh.
your frown, your dress, your walk,
your greetings. your goodbys. your
comings, your goings, your habits at
the table, the tones OF your voice are
making an impression which will last
a million years after you are dead
and the sun will be extinguished and
the mountains will crumble, and the
world will die. and eternity will roll
on in perpetual cycles, but there will
be no diminuition of the force of
your conduct upon the young eyes
that saw it or the Young ears that
heard it.

Plan of South Dakota
Temperance Forces
Movement on Foot to Put Statewide
Bill on Referendum Ballot in
Two Years.

PIERRE, ). D., Nov. 17.-(special)-
Quincy Lee Morrow of Bookings one of
the leaders of the temperance movement
for South Dakota, while in this city last
night declared that the recent defeat OF
the county local option proposition by a
larger vote than that with which II was
defeated two years ago. does not mean any
halt in the work in South Dakota and that
they will come to the Legislative session OF
1911 with an initiative law calling for state
wide prohibition for the state. His position
on this is that there are many voters in
the state who will vote for statewide pro-
hibiton who would not vote for county
local option on the ground that in the con-
troll of liquor. II il is allowed to be sold
at all in the state, the home rule idea for
cities and towns should prevail. But while
they take such a position on county option
they are willing to vote To Danish the.
demon Of rum" from the state in its en-
tirety and would willingly vote TO that
end. In such position, Air. Morrow APP
pears to have the support of most Of the
temperance workers of the state. At tn,
same time there is a conservative element
among the temperance advocates who be-
heve that it would be wise politics to let
the matter lie quiet over one election, as
the continual pushing Of the question after
the people have voted IT down twice would
only mean defeat another time, while with
a wait they believe success might be at
tanned But the radicals appear to be in
control and the question will be before the
voters at the next election, only in another
form.

"Style and inexpensive seldom go to-

Unfortunately for short women, style is
the first requisite. They cannot indulge in
all the fluffiness that their slender sisters
use For to bring out their best points the
cut must be good. This is imperative.
Then the design must be chosen with care

You must choose dark colors. What these
