Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1910-06-24

IT is not often that congressman
or senator, who has voted in favor of
a bill, will go into a conference be.
tween the two branches of our nation
al legislature and there try to have
eliminated such features as they were
unable to defeat in their own BODY.
But that unusual spectacle was wit
messed the other day when Aldrich
and Elkins tried to defeat the senate
provision for the suspension of in
creased railroad rates. 1t simply
illustrates how far these men will 90

and rob the people.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1910-06-24

Our laws governing municipal cleo
tons should be amended. The need
OF change in the laws that will pre-
vent voting by transients is urgent.
We would suggest to the legislative
nominees of this county that, if they
go to the Legislature, they give this
matter their personal attention. The
law, if possible, should be amenned
so as to require a residence of six
months within the city or town, and
also to require that voter coming in
to a city or town should be required
to register with the auditor or clerk
six months before he shall be entitled
to vote at an election in such munich
pality. Just because a transient
happens to be located in a city or
town for ten days prior to an election
it does not give him a moral right to
vote or management of that munich
pality's affairs. We suffer too much
from such voting. 1t should be stop.
ped, and the only way to stop it is to
impose such requirements with which
transients cannot comply. Then,
again, the penalty for violation of
laws governing snch elections should
be made a penitentiary offence, with
the burden of the proof upon the
voter. Make the law extreme. 1t
will impose no hardship upon the
man who has legal and moral right
to such vote, and at the same time
will remedy a big nuisance and in
Justice.

WELL, the railroad measure has
passed congress, but if President Taft
and Attorney General Wickersham
can recognize in the finished product
the child of their fancy as outlined
In the original bill of theirs, they can
do better than most men. Every
good feature of the bill is the result
OF the untring efforts of the progress
slve senators. About the only
red eming feature in the original bill
was the idea of court of commerce.
and that was enlarged and improved
upon until the president could not
identify it as his own. The people
will get more from this measure than
they had reason to expect at one time.

some individual. He may fairly expect
TO pay something. You do not 20 into
the grocery and ask the proprietor to
hand out ten pounds Of sugar for Eoth-
ing, even though the grocer may be
personal friend, and even though the
gift might not be large one. If the
beneficiary Of advertising does not pay
for it, the proprietor has to settle the
bill. Nevertheless many people cannot
seem to learn that newspaper pays its
expenses. by renting space, and that it
is just as much entitled to collect rent
for every week that space is occu pied as
you are for the house you rent to ten
ant. Most newspapers expect to treat
religious and phllanthropic enterprises
literally, yet in spite Of this many Of
these enterprises expect the newspapers
to give some space rent free. while they
send their job printing to some other
shop. The place for them to look for
support is the place they patronize.
We therefore cannot understand why
we are repeatedly besought to give away
our goods by people who would never
think Of begging cream from the milk
man or coffee from the grocer. r.-Irs Cole,

SUCCESSFUL
LAND SALE
Lands Without Water Rights Sold
for Coed Prices State
Realizes $50, 900.

What is regarded as one OF the most
successful state land sales ever CONDUCT
ed in Idaho was held at Caldwell Mon
day when thirty-one 4O-acre tracts we're
sold at an average price of s45 per acre.
The lowest figure was $l7 per acre,
ard the record price was fl25 per acre,
which was paid for land on the Payetie
heights. A number Of tracts under tie
Deer Flat reservoir were sold at $50 per
acre and some on the Roswell bench
sold for $40 per acre.
None of these lands include water
rights ot any description, and when it is
understood that water rights must be
bought in addition to the land il is evI-
dent that some one regards land in
southwestern Idaho to be attractive.
The state receipts as a result OF the

Make Free Use of Printers Ink.

This from an exchange is a point
Tor business men to consider:
Make free use of printers ink. Talk
to the world about your business
the line OF goods you carry; their
style, Deculiarities and adaptabili-
ties. In purchasing, do so with care,
remembering that goods we'll bought
are half sold Make careful selec-
tions, buy cheap, and make the sell
ing price reasonable. Tell the peo-
pie what you will do, and do as you
advertise every time Send out your
messages every week. The people
look for it and are disappointed
if they see it not; and it is often the
case after your long silence, the con-
stant appeals of others have caught
the eye and drawn thitherward many
a good customer you once had, who
is now a patron of him who neglect
ed not to tell where to 90 to get what
he wanted at reasonable rates. This
is as it will be, and as it should be.
in this busy age. People take and
read the paper for a purpose, and
one is to find out where they can get
what they want without spending
a day hunting over town to find it.
The merchant who apprises them Of
this fact, in a judicious way. will be
the one that catches the trade, builds
up a lucrative business, and makes
his calling a success.

Mr.. Beach's position as an American

spirited plot and romance. The maga-
zine is uncommonly varied in the type Of
its articles. Lincoln Steffens continues
his study OF organized business and the
virtual monarchy under which it has
fallen. William Hard writes of Love
Deferred" in his series on THE Women
of Tomorrow, making it most human

talk on Frans Halls portrait, by Sir
Caspar Purdon Clarke, and the usual
departments, straight Talk" 'Under

A Valuable Bulletin on Scupper-
nong Grapes.

The North Carolina Experim iment
Station has just issued a very impor-
tant Bulletin on "Self-Sterility of the
Scuppernong and other Muscadine
Grapes" The results reported in
this Bulletin show conclusively that
these grapes are self-sterile, that is,
will not produce normal fruit unless
fertilized by pollen from male grape
vines. These results were obtained
by (D covering the branches during
the blooming season, (2) a study OF
the terminating flower of the pollen,
(3) microscopic study of the dry
pollen, a. examination of the struc-
ture of the flowers, and (5) the in
f1uence of male pollen on the crop.
The second part of the Bulletin dis
cusses the application of these re-
suits. 1t deals with the kinds of
male vines te>pfant, where to plant
them for best results, and the num-
ber of such vines required in a vine
yard. 1t also discusses the influence
which weather and pruning have on
the yield. One of the most valuable
subjects treated is that dealing with
the growing of these grapes from
seeds.
This Bulletin is No. 209 and is for
free distribution to residents of North
Carolina. 1t can be had by writing
to Director c. B. Williams, Expert
ment Station, West Raleigh, n. &.

"The best advertiser and the best

poorest advertiser is usually the one
who finds himself in a court of bank

That is what the Hon. charles W.

tising Clubs of America in his ad-

1t is a golden text, the wise conclu-
sion of a very successful business
man, a man who keeps his wits about
him, who does not Jump at his iudg-

men as they are, reasoning from OBJ

most successful men are those who
"pOssess the faculty of bringing their
