The action of the Sioux Falls mob
this week in demanding the life of a
negro who had attempted the life of a
member Of the police force, and which
did not dispense until the members had
been convinced the negro was dead by
seeing his dead body, is conclusive evil
dence that human nature is very much
the same no matter what section Of the
country you are innorth, south, east
or west-and when a negro kills or
attempts to kill white person, imme-
date vengeance is sought to be wreaked
upon him without the formality of a
trial. We are thankful that the negro
was shot by an officer after his gun had
snapped in an effort to shoot the officer,
thereby saving the fair name of our
state from lynching bee which was
almos. certain to have been enacted.

This is the kind Of year that proves
diversified farming is the proper stunt
for South Dakota and all other farming
countries. 1t has also been proven this
year that the farmers who have
MANFRED their ground, rotated their
crops and applied the lessons given
them gratituously at the farmers insti-
tutes are the ones who are the most
successful. Scientific farming will
receive great boost this year when

better yields. To insure the proper
depth the seed should be planted with
drill instead of broadcasting, though
first class results are reported from the
latter method of seeding. Many grow
ers ask the question: "Is it good prac-
tice to drill between the corn rows?'
If the land has been carefully titled pro-
fitable yields might accrue. 1t is a bet
ter practice, however, to remove the
stalks, disc the field and seed in the
usual manner. If land is to be set to
wheat which is now growing corn and
the corn fails to mature early one
horse drill can be used.
SPRING PRECAUTION.
In sections of the state where the
soil is subject to heaving or packing,
spring culture may be necessary. If the
soil is compact, narrowing will prove
helpful in conserving moisture and at
the same time the damage done to the
small plants will be slight. Nebraska
found an increase of five and one-tenth
bushels per acre from rolling.
To summarize briefly, the following
facts should be noted in connection
with growing winter wheat in South
Dakota;
/. A good rich soil.
2. A well prepared seed bed.
3. A variety adapted to the locality.
A. Seed well cleaned and graded.
5. Sow early in the season-August
Is to September 5.
6. Proper spring treatment.

We have always in the past looked
upon William Jennings Bryan as one Of
the greatest men who ever was mem.
Der of the democratic party, but the
wall he put up after his defeat at the
Nebraska democratic state convention
last week compels us to revise our opin.
ion. A truly great man is one who can
take defeat and not trump up some
silly and unreasonable excuse therefor.
After the Peerless Leaders, defeat
last week, he gave out an interview ir
which he stated that the majority in the
state convention was due to the infiu-
ence of the whiskey trust and the
brewers association, and that the COM
bined efforts of the two defeated county
option. Such statement was unworthy
of Mr.. Bryan. There is in Nebraska,
the same as in all other states, an hon
est difference of opinion as to the mer-
its and dement's of county option, and
when the delegates to the democratic
state convention of Nebraska, after due
deliberation and by an overwhelming
majority decided against the PROPOSE.
ton, Mr.. Bryan should have been man
enough to take his medicine. Many
men in the democratic party in the past
have been compelled to swallow many
ideas originated by Mr.. Bryan and
approved by the majority of the party
when they believed that such ideas
were not for the best interest of the
party nor for the country; but for har-
mony they took their medicine. The
democratic and republican parties OF
Minnesota and Iowa both refused to
endorse county option. The people of
South Dakota two years ago this fall by
a decisive vote refused to place such a
law upon the statute books, and we
believe they will do so again this year.
The great majority of people are Just
when matter is properly explained to
them. The cities and towns of every
state in the union are taxed for their
own improvements and police protec-
ton and the residents of these munich
palities are better fitted than any 9TH
ers to know how to best govern the
liquor traffic within their borders. 1t is
not justice for ''wet" community to
have the right to vote as to whether
saloons should be placed in dry
town, nor vice versa. The wall sent up
by Mr.. Bryan is intended to create a
prejudice and comes with very bad
grace as an indictment-wh wholly unwar-
ranted and without the least foundation
in fact-against party which has
delighted TO give him the highest hon
ors in the past. Again we say it is
unworthy of him and he owes his party
and the people an apology.

The power plant at Kilbourn con-
trolled by the Southern Wisconsin
Power company, now supplies all the
power and lighting for the city of Wa
tertown with the exception of small
portions of the city which for a time
will be supplied from the steam plant
in First street, but which eventually
will be supplied direct from Kilbourn.
The cutover on the west side was
made Sunday and finished Sunday af-
ternoon.
The power is now supplied to the
entire west side of the river with the
exception of that portion lying south
of West Milwaukee street, which will
remain on the steam plant for awhile
On the east side Kilbourn power is
supplied to all portions of the city
with the exception of First, Second
and ThirI streets and Western avenue
and south of that street.
1t is to be hoped that the poor con-
ditions which prevailed during the
summer and fall while the substation
and new dam were being constructed
will be things of the past and that
the lighting and power received from
the Kilbourn station will be all that
has been claimed for it.

have been exceedingly busy the past

Ninety locomotives were turned out

more than half mile.
Freight cars to the number OF 69,29S
