HER MOMENT OF COMPLETE JOY.
When Grandmother Reads First Let
ter from Her Grsndchild.

You may talk about great state pa
pers, of presidents m essages, of royal
exchanges of salutations, and all that
sort Of thing, but when you want to
strike chord that beats in harmony
with the human heart, just see that
grandmother reading that first letter
from her grandchild. All time and
space, and things created and uncre-
ated, are concreted into the bliss Of
the moment, when the dear woman
drinks in the meaning of those awk.
ward, hesitating, incongruous lines,
which with all their crudities, still
seem stately and dignified under the
emotion of a first great effort.
There is nothing like it. Shake
speare never matched 1t. Dante reads
like an almanac by the side of 1t. 1t
is revelation that makes St. Johns
seem insipid and pale. The good wom-
an reads 1t over and over and thinks
away back when she was little girl,
and when the child's mother was lit
tie girl, and then of this little boy, just
starting to open path into the mys-
terry of life; and she reads another
passage of the sweet, laundering let
ter, which closes with the very for-1
mality Of affection-"Your loving \
friend"-and then her thoughts rush
out of the window into the gray skies,
but after while they come back,
bringing her the assurance from some
where, that of all the blessings of life,
one of the sweetest has come to her
that of getting the first epistle from
her first grandchild.-Columbus (O.)

DFFIClAL COUNTY and CITY PAPER
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

The good roads movement in the
Arkansas Valley seems to be backed
by very strong sentiment, and there
is manifested determiu nation TO act.
At the good roads conference ut
Hutchinson last Monday the counties
from Reno to the Colorado line, al
most double row of them we're
Represented, and good number Of
the delegates were from the farming
communities. The representatives
from the various counties reported
that at home there was strong seI-
timent for road building. Edwards
county, it is reported, has much Of
the work done on a splendid road
from the east to the west border, and
it is to be completed next summer, SO
that counties on each side may at
tach to it their similar roads. Other
counties reported their readiness to
act. Farms in western Kansas are
becoming more valuable. In the old
days, when it was nothing but cat
tie country, the prevailing idea was
10 have each ranch as far from town,
and as far from other ranches as pos
sible. From now on the effort will
be to shorten distances. A farm now
half a days drive from market, may
be brought within an hour ol two
hour drive, by good road. To all
purposes this is equal TO moving the
mans farm that number Of miles
closer to the market, and it brings
with it the raise in value of the land
TO what it would be closer to town.
When the distance to market is
shortened, it not only represents a
money value to the owner Of the place
but the convenience afforded adds to
his comfort, pleasure aud happiness.
Good roads cut down the long dis
tances, and make every piece Of land
In the territory in which they
are built more valuable. II 10
an age when 1t is generally
recognized that ti.Ee Is money. The
long stretch Uf contemplated rond
shrough the Arkansas Valley MS a
long rosd will Of course be. some
thing to be proud Of, but after ulI
that is not the main idea ut ,he
movement. The man beuefit will be
to the lucal community ia lhe shorter
hanls 10 market; il The connecting
roads from moth aud south which
will connect the entire county with
The nearest town. While the chief
interest in all # this rVad building
islocal, local investment that will
pay big returns to the community,
the further idea, which is a good one,
10 contemplated to connect these
roads from one county to another,
20 that there will be asplendid long
distance highway that will bring
travel our way across the state. And
the New Santa Fe Trail, when COM
pleted, will be the best known high
WY in Kansas, and the lorg distance
feature will add still more to the val
ne OF the county roads and to the
land lying along the route. The
New Santa Fe Trails very happy
idea in connection with the good
xoad building the different counties
are taking up.

Medicine In the Sea.

The sea, according to certain scient.
lists, can furnish not only nourishment,
but medicine. A distinguished French
practitioner prescribes the drinking of
sea water as a cure for diabetes, the
water being aeratod in order to re.
move its impurities and, to some ex-
tent, its nalsaous favor. It has also
been admin tered with success in
cases of bronchitis and pleurisy. Ex.
periments carried out on consumptive
patients show that subcutaneous in
jections Of sea water are beneficial, at
all events in the early stages of tuber-
culosis. Bread made with sea water
is said by those who have tried it to
be most appetizing and nourishing.

They would not think of going to the

re often but the reflected ones of

The Congressman

President Taft recently called
attention to a fact that westerners
would do we'll to heed, and that is
that the casts predominance in
national legislation is due to the
fact that the eastern states send
their representatives to congress
term after term, until they grad
uate from the "new comers'' class
into the class of seasoned legisla-
tors-the fellows who have the
big committeeships and who really
control legislation. South Dakota
now has two representatives in
the lower house who are the peers
in ability of any two persons on
the floor of the house.
They have served long enough
so their abilities and their exper-
ienco are gaining them recognition.
Representative Burke is head of the
committee on Indian affairs, a most
important committee. Represen-
tative Martin is serving on some
good committees. To defeat those
strong men for reelection in favor
of any two of the four insurgent
candidates Schrader.
Glass or Dillon-would be a mis-
take similar in character to that
which the voters made in 1906
when they retired Martin and
Burke for q term in favor of Par
ker and Hall. South Dakota can
not afford to repeat that serious
error.-Aberdeen News.

Referendum in Effect

The supreme court unanimously
joined in denying the petition of
John F. Schrader praying for a
writ of mandamus to place his
name upon the primary ticket as a
congres sional candidate from a
district instead of from the state
at large. The opinion of the court
has not yet been filed but it mani
festly must be based upon the
definition of the word legislature,
as the meaning of that word is
modified by our initiative and ref
erendum constitutional provision.
In effect the opinion must hold
that the word Legislature in South
Dakota means not only the elected
body of law makers but the
sovereign people in their right te
|approve all laws. It is the lrsi

South Dakota

In this busy world of progress,
excuses and explanations are mat
ters that fail to appeal to any in
terest whether engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits, mercantile, manu-
featuring, professional or other
wise.
What counts in this world to-
day is results, not explanations;
and in leading up to this article
upon our great state, permit me to
mention what some of these re-
suits are, their cause, reason and
conclusion. Our people are con-
tented and enjoy the distinction of
being the happiest and healthiest
people in the world. The founda-
ton and bulwark of our country is
the farm. Our people engaged
in agricultural pursuits have en-
joyed a period of years of the
most successful crops ever before
known, bountiful in returns, and
above all, these products have
commanded the highest price, and
for which in return our merchants,
our professional men and people
engaged in all pursuits have prof.
tied. Our banks have large de.
posits, money is plentiful and
therefore times are good. With
these conditions it is no wonder
that people in the east look with
amazcment upon the stories of the
rapid increase of wealth of the
state. 1t seems more like dream
to them than . reality, and it is nc
wonder that among the people o1
the east the slogan Back to the
Farm is most thoroughly appre.
ciated and respected when the
wonderful results are actually
demonstrated.

Objection Sustained

The News must acknowledge
that, to q certlin extent, the objec-
ton of the Press Sioux Falls) to
stalwart methods is we'll taken.
The stalwart newspapers suffer
from one handicap which does not
trouble the insurgent newspapers.
They have no boss to tell them:
Print this. Omit that. Dodge
that stalwart charge. Lie about
extravaganza in Elrod's admins
tration. Poohbooh charges of ex-
travagance under Vessey. When
the stalwarts print-the figures, in
sist the tax on each dollar isn't any
larger than before. If the people
want to referendum any of my
laws, call 'em irresponsible.
Above all-don't pay any attention
to letters l wrote year ago, or
six months ago. Remember it's
only the stuff I've sent out since
early in February that counts"
If the stalwart newspapers were
fixed out with a dictator like Dick
Richards, their utterances would
ell agree, at least. But they
might not be any more convincing
than are the campaign arguments
of the insurgents. Aberdeen

and promises to purify politics
forthwith. If there is any one, by
the way, in the whole length and
breadth of the state, that needs a
governor" it is Richards; if left
without that regulator it's ten tc
one he will get beyond control, and
the machinery to which he is
attached will run riot.
Richards would have US believe
the ''spoils system" needs doctor
ing, and that the best way to treat
it is to give the people the oppor-
tunity to nominate every Office
holder. in the state. He would
have tie power of appointp ent
wrested from the chief executive,
just as the power of control of the
nations congr ,ss has been taken
from Uncle Jocannon.
Those who know tell US that
this scheme, which would give us
the ''long ballot" is a fine and
dandy brick with a fake gold leaf
covering. We believe it will
reason out just that way.
A good man as governor. with
the power of appointment of all
state officials, would be better than
the present system, and infinitely
more 80 than Richards proposal.
The Galveston plan of city govern
ment is a plea for the shorter bal
lot. That plan, wherever tried,
has lessened the governing boards
one-third or thereabouts in the
number of men, and immeasurably
improved city politics and pros
poets.
If one man had to campaign
alone for the Office of governor,
without the support and dust-rais-
ing efforts of lot of other fellows
on the same ticket for every office
down to dog-catcher, he would be
careful what he promised
before getting into Office, and al
careful what he did after
getting into office. Besides that,
the voters would have chance to
consider the capabilities of the two
or more candidates for governor
on there own merits, without any
befogging issues or personal
friendships for other fellows lower
down on the same ticket, as it is
now.
Thank you, Dick, your sugges-
ton has too thin lining. Be-
sides, we are going to vote for
Sam Elrod and a bunch of good,
clean, honest men who support
his ideas for a return of the state
to a safe, sane and thrifty admin

StaIwart Candidate for Repre-
sentative

Petitions were circulated locally
the first of the week nominating
G. L. Mellette, of Fort Pierre, as
a candidate for representative
from the 9th legislative district,
comprising Stanley county, subject
to the wish of the republican
voters at the June primaries.
Mr.. Mellette became candidate
only at the solicitation of many
friends. He is at the head of a
chain of banks in this country,
and his duties demand so much of
his time that he has stated he will
not make a personal canvass, but
that his nomination must be
secured through the efforts of his
friends.
He is a man who has been en-
inently successful in business lines,
and the voters can rest assured
that he will prove as successful as
a legislator. Stanley county is in
position to be a leader in the
states congress, and there is none
better qualified than he to repre-
sent US therein. We need a man
at Pierre next winter who is con-
servative, forcible and clean, one
who can distinguish the tares

Mellette is that man.
