MEETING PROVED
GREAT SUCCESS
First Conservation Congress1ot
South Dakota.

Pierre, S. D., July 4.-The first
South Dakota Conservation and Devel-
opment congress has proven itself
success far beyond the hopes of those
who started the movement and stood
sponsor for the call. 1t has been
shown that the people of the state are
awake to the advantages which may
accrue from this new awakening of
the people over the whole country for
taking care" of what we have. @~~
( Those who attended got their pri-
mary lessons in what may be accom-
plished along many lines in this state.
They expect to take more extended
course of study in the future meetings
of the congress, which are certain to
find as interested attendants many of
the hundreds who came to help start
the movement on its way in South
Dakota.
The selection of the men who are
authorized by the congress to make
the movement permanent one, and
to proceed at their full option as to
place and time of the next meeting
and make all the arrangements for
the same, is a guarantee that the work
will be pushed along. g.
Governor Vessey at the close of the
meeting announced this committee, it
being composed of H. H. Cable, Lin
coin; Isaac Lincoln, Brown; H. r.
Dennis, Minnehaha; M. P. Beebe, Ed.
munds; w. H. Stokes, Codington; A.
G. Granger, Stanley; Professor F. L.
Cook, Lawrence; c. H. Tucker,
Charles Mix; J. w. Campbell, Beadle.
This committee is authorized to
meet and organize by selection of it's
own officers and to take the necessary
steps to make the congress one of the
permanent institutions Of the state .

for governor. who in the short time
he has been chief executive Of the
commonwealth, so we'll satisfied the
people of the state that he was
nominated by reclamation. For
lieutenant governor the candidate
is young man of good ability, and
who is honest, frank and outspoken.
but who is broad in his views, genial
in TEMPERAMENT, and who stands for
square deal for all the people.
The candidates for treasurer and
clerk of the supreme court are young
men, born in Minnesota, and who
have made good. The Republicans
of Minnesota failed to elect their
last two candidates for governor
because they could not hold the
votes of the young men. The ticket
this year should especially appeal to
young Republicans-and it certainly
will command the confidence of all.

"HURTiNG BUSINESS"

Not long ago a man in Illinois
wrote to newspaper, protesting
against an agitation concerning GER

the muddy roads of Illinois" There
was recently a mild outbreak of
smallpox in a New England city,
and earnest efforts were made to
suppress the facts for fear that
publicity would injure the COM
mercial interests of the community.
One of the reasons why Montreal
gave up its practise of erecting a
beautiful ice palace each winter
was the argument that it hurt
Canadian business to have the i'm
preston of severe winters 60 aboard.
When the gift of one million
dollars was made for the purpose
of fighting the hookworm, a few
people in the Sonth resentedit on
the ground that the crusade would
injure the good name and the bust.

country. @-:.'
Similar instances might be
multiplied. The cry of Don't hurt

who fearssagitation aof,any kind, by
politicians who have an instructive
horror of publicity, and by we'll
meaning people who honestly be-
alieve that business is affected by
various external and wholly foreign
influences. As for the last class, it
is safe assertion that their fears
are usually groundless. 49,. .

Unless the Interstate commerce

that the rate between Chicago and st.

why LIQUOR TREATMENT
SHOULD BE TAKEN
1t Does Away With the Longing for
Liquor and REQUIRES No Effort

It Does Away With the Longing for
Liquor and Requires No Effort
If those who were confirmed liquor or
drug users could only be made to realize
that the treatment in the various Neal
Institutes throughout the country would
enable them to quit for good without any
effort it would certainly be a godsend to
many men and women, to say nothing of
their families. In the Neal treatment no
hypodermics are used and in three days
time the patient leaves the institute for
ever free from the abnormal craving, the
qualification of which has caused more
misery and degradation in the world than
all other agencies combined. After the
first day the craving disappears entirely
and at the end Of three days the patient
goes forth a new and free man. The Neal
institute in Omaha, Neb., at 1905 South
Tenth street, takes the most desperate
cases and changes them from dissipated
wrecks into strong men and women
capable of occupying a place in the world
which will reflect credit both upon them
selves and their families.
The Institute in This city has been taxed
to its full capacity during recent months,
and to take care Of it's increasing number
of patients, a branch Neal Institute has
been established at Grand Island, Neb.,

recognized as one of the leading ply
