And rejoice if he goes to a feast,
But if he turns to poor, scanty

For without him the dainties are

and they have picked out all the
best. The hills that are lett are
fine for ranchers.
n The first town on leaving Chey-

hustling and enterprising and the
stoies are up to date Eagle Butte
is sure promising little burg. 1t
has fine country around it. and
The vacant land is nearly all taken
within radius Of ten miles.
Leaving Eagle Butte you come
to a town called Lantry. Last
Saturday the road was laying steel
amile from there. 1t has an ex-
celent country around it and no
doubt will make good. The next
town, Du Pree, has SO far been
Unfortunate about getting rail
road, but it has made wonderful
progress, considering the hardships
in getting their lumber and freight.
The town is built in rich country,
there are good business, men and
several wealthy ranchers who will
be a help to the place. The rail.
road is billed to be there soon and
nd doubt their will be big i2flux
of people next spring.
In going from DuPree across
conntry 80 miles, you pass through
y fine undulatins country, dotted
with homesteads as lar as 10 miles

TROLLEY CAR PASSES.

Among the provisions of the new
public utilities law which has just gone
into effect in New Jersey, city railway
and interurban trolley car companies
are prohibited from giving passes to
any person not regular employee. And
there should be similar mandates of
law in all of the other states which do
not have them, and this comprises the
great majority of the commemorative
in the Union.
In the dispatches telling about this
New Jersey statute, it is stated that
this prohibition of trolley car passes
will be a serious blow to many mu-
nicipal officeholders and politicians
who have been able to ride on the
trolley cars of the state for years with
out paying any fare. That is the very
excellent and controlling reason why
there should be a change in this re-
spect
One of the chief reasons advanced
for abolishing the promiscuous distri-
button of passes on steam railroads,
which is now nationwide as to inter-
state traffic and which also prevails
in most of the states. was that through
such passes the railroads placed pub
lie officials under obligations to them.
There was the further good reason
that the giving of passes to office
holders, politicians and friends and ac-
quaintances of the railroads, was an

unfair discrimination against the trav-
cling public which was compelled to
pay its fare.
If these reasons were sufficient, as
they were without doubt, for the PRO-
hibition of the issuance Of steam rail-
road passes to any but employees of the
companies, they are just as sufficient
for like action in respect to passes on
the city and interurban railroad lines.
The steam railroads. or most of them
at any rate. are glad that passes have
been abolished. The same would prob
ably be true of most of the city rail-
ways, although they do not seem to
be disposed to eradicate this evil of
their own accord. "a & sss
1t is the opinion of some people that
the present anti-raiiroad pass law in
Kansas is of sufficient scope to apply
to street railway passes. If 1t is it
ought to be enforced. 1t is isn't, 1t
ought to be made to be-

VICE IN AMERICA.

"All that have seen and heard con-
corning the vice of great American
cities, alcoholism, gambling, immoral
lty, seems to me to be neither more
nor less than I have seen in all the
great cities of Europe" writes Gug-
lielmo Ferrero, the Italian historian, in
the July Atlantic. ct have noticed
these sad features of modern civiliza-
ton, but they are no more hideous in
America than elsewhere. 1 shall never
forget the evening which 1 spent with
an agreeable and clever journalist who
took me to see the horrors of New
York. For several hours we went
about to restaurants, bars, and places
of amusement. / saw and noted with
great attention what was pointed out
to me, but could not help, at last,
coming to the conclusion that some
day, if 1 were to take my guide on a
similar tour around one of the great
capitals of Europe, 1 could show him
much more! Taking the Catholic coun-
tries of Europe as the basis of COM
parisen, the only difference that could
perceive was that in America the fam
lily tie is weaker. Divorce is too easy
by far; the women are too emanci-
pated; the children too independent of
parental control. In this respect it has
seemed to me that America has reach
ed a limit beyond which really danger
Gus social disorder lies.'' ---

A coMMoNsENsE COURT.

A Kansas statute defining embezzle-
ment was printed with the word "es-
tate" for state" 1t provided punish
ment for any "estate, county or city,
officer who should misappropriate the
money intrusted to his care. A lower
court held that as the word estate"
was not in the statute it was not a
crime in Kansas for a state officer to
embezzle funds. But the supreme
court of the state reverses that ruling.
It holds that the clear intent was to
prohibit and penalize dishonesty by
state, county and city officers, and that
the printing of the letter 'e'' before
the word state was simply an incon-
sequential error of the printer.
All hail the supreme court of Kan
sasi This court does not believe that
the illiteracy of typesetter or clerk
should prevail over the manifest NOR
atty and common sense of great
people. This court actually does not
offer a premium to the ignorance or
dishonesty of printshop or a prose-
cutting attorneys office. In some sister
states all an attorney for defendant
has to do is to get some stenographer
or copyist to leave out of statute or
an indictment such a word as the
and the highest courts in those COM
monwealths will hold that the trial has
been fatally defective. Not so with
