AMUSING MEMORY CARD GAME
Played With Two Packs of Paste
boards, With Cards to Each Player
Must Remember Prophecies.

This is a memory game and very
amusing. 1t is played with two packs
Of cards of any sort, but they must be
heap, face down, in the middle of the
table. The other pack is distributed
to the players, who lay them, face up
ward in rows. Each player should
have not more than II cards, as 1t is
hard to remember more than that.
Any one can begin by giving either
prophecy or a characteristic-thus:
who will inherit a fortune inside or
a year?" or, who will be the first in
the room to wear false teeth?" at the
same time turning up a card from the
center pile.
Whoever has the card matching
this takes it, lays it face down on top
of the card drawn from the pile, say
ing: II will be the first to wear false
teeth" or whatever the prophecy may
have been.
The next in turn gives character
istic, who has the worst temper?'
or who is the most unselfish?" turn
ing up another card from the pile
This is matched in the same way, and
the process continues around the
circle until all the cards are matched
Then the memory test comes. Every
player in turn tries to remember and
repeat all the prophecies and char
acteristics that have fallen to his OF
her share, giving them aloud as rapid
ly as possible. He is allowed for de
liberation on any one only the time
while ten is being slowly counted, OF
ten seconds by the watch. The one re
membering the most is the winner

ONE item of extravaganza charged
to the progressives is the purchase of
an oriental rug for the governors re.
ception room in the new capitol build
ing. It's true that the rug cost 81 200.
But it's worth the money to the
few stalwart leaders who are getting
81 100000 worth of noise out of it.
That is the one specific item of ex-
travagance they have been able to
mention. Of course it doesn't make
any difference to them that the rug
was bought out of the capitol build
ing fund created by sale of capitol
building lands donated to the state
and that the blamed rug never cost
the taxpayers of the state one single
penny.

SENATOR Cummins has won victory
in regard to traffic agreements which
the new railroad bill sought to legal
ize, if Washington dispatches are
correct. Cummins introduced an
amendment to the bill covering that
point. He had sufficient strength for
the amendment to make it interesting
for the regulars" and at conference
Tuesday it was decided to move to
table the Cummins amendment under
the agreement to strike from the bill
the whole traffic agreement provision
1t has been contended by Cummins
that to legalize the traffic agreement
would open the way for legalized
transportation Determinations and all
the other undesirable features which
the country has been trying to remedy

The stalwarts have only one leg to
stand on in connection with the can.
didacy of johnson for state treasurer.
They claim that Johnson never re-
ceived one cent or more of interest on
state funds. That is good enough so
far as it goes. But the fact remains
that the state funds were deposited
in banks and that Johnson failed to
collect interest and turn it into the
state treasury as he promised to do,

ONE South Dakota man who is
climbing rapidly to the front is A. G.
Johnson. Mr.. johnson in the early
days was employed for a short time
as a section hand on the @. e. n. w.
near Redfield, SO we are told. Later
he held the position of travelling agent
in this state. He was promoted to
the position of general traffic man
ager for the states of Minnesota and
South Dakota with headquarters at
Winona, position of large reponsi-
bilities. And now comes the an
nouncement that Mr.. johnson is
again promoted, this time to the posi-
tion of general passenger traffic man
ager of the whole g. & n. W., system
with headquarters in the general
offices at Chicago, the place recently
vacated by w. B. Kniskern. Every
man in South Dakota is glad of the
advancement of A. G. Johnson be.
cause he is all brains and no wind.
Every step upward has been earned
and is recognition of his ability; he
has no pull except his actual worth.

WHEN Andrew E. Lee was governor
he conducted the state for one-half
the money spent during the Elrod ad-
ministration, but no one condemns
Elrod for that, says the Canastota
Clipper. When Arthur G. Mellette
was governor be run the state for
about half that Lee spent. What
does it all meant Simply that South
Dakota is developing from an infant
into big able bodied state and its
demands are greater now than they
were. As the Aberdeen News recent
ly remarked, when young man starts
off in life with abounding hope, a
lovely wife and mess of installment
plan furniture to pay for his expenses
are naturally less than they are after
accumulating happy household of a
half dozen healthy children, a bank
account and an automobile. So it is
with South Dakota, and we cannot
help but feel that the fiscal issue
raised in this campaign is false
issue. There might be many reasons
why a voter should prefer Mr.. Elrod
to Mr.. vessey for governor but it is
an absurdity for him to do so on the
theory that Mr.. vessey has been a
party to robbing the tax payers, or
that Mr.. Elrod will return the state
to the old basis of enforced parsimony
in living. He could not 20 back if

IT appears from reports made to
the governor that during the month
of January, 1909, there was no other
interest paid to the state. In Feb
ruary $l6.75 was paid; in March $39 90
and in April $2S.03. This makes a
total of SS3.9S interest turned in on
the hundreds of thousands of dollars
which the treasurer had on hand dur
ing these months, the interest on
which should have amounted to some
thing like $3,OS7 .65. This is comput-
ing the interest at the rate of 2 per
cent per annum, because that is the
minimum rate fixed by law for inter
est on state funds deposited in banks,

We should not think that A. W..
Ewert, the insurgent candidate for
State treasurer, would have made an
affidavit that his bank bad paid no
interest to Treasurer johnson, direct
ly or indirectly" it had. Mr.. Ewert
wants to get the Office, and his polite
al interest would have been along the
line of making no such affidavit as he
did. The conclusion is inevitable that
no such payments were made.-Argus-
Leader.
v So far it has not been charged that
Mr.. johnson collected interest and
placed it in his own pocket. Where
Mr.. Johnson is lame is in the fact
that he did not collect interest and
turn it into the treasury during the
first months of his term of office as he
promised to do. That A. w. Ewert's
bank did not pay Johnson interest on
the states money is true, and it is
equally true that johnson promised
to make this bank, and all other banks
having state funds on deposit, pay
interest to the state. Johnson did not

The withdrawal of Dillon and Glass
from the congressional race seems to
give the stalwart leaders a severe pain.
They had put forth their best efforts
to divide progressive strength so as
to let in Burke and Martin. With only
two progressive candidates in the
field it looks as if Burke and Martin
would lose their jobs by big ma
jority. The rank and file of the peo-
pie the country over are progressive
and recent events have demonstrated
that the two gentlemen named are
among the undesirables.

The proposed new railroad legisla-
ton is finding a very rocky road
through congress, and at this time it
books very much as if such legislation
would fail at this session. Already
the bill is past recognition by its own
mother. 1t has been amended to
such an extent that even the congress
men do not know it except when it
bears a tag. A scrap in a state con-
vention over planks wanted in the
platform by radical elements is a
dignifed proceeding compared with
the doings of congress in connection
with the railroad bill. Some of the
amendments are idiotic and some are
vicious 1t all shows how little states
