FREEDOM OF ENGLISH SPEECH

English spelling may be as cumber-
some and perverse as its reformers
delight to describe it, but in one re-
spect at least our speech is girt and
ready to enter the race of world Ian
guages. We refer to it's freedom
from the complications of grammatical
gender. Hitherto we had some vague
notion that continental people We're
endowed with a sure and subtle sense
for the eternal masculine and the eter-
nal neuter, as we'll as for the eternal
feminine. We imagined every French
man and every German something of
an Adam in a linguistic paradise; We
had to learn our lie and la, u der,
die and das by ardent application, but
We supposed We had only to show a
thing to the Frenchman and German
to see what he would call it. 1t is,
therefore, very distressing to learn
that Paris does not know the gender
Of omnibus" and that discussion
RACES over the choice between lie
Nord Sud" and ia Nord Sud" as the
name of the new terminal. Doubtless
the Academy will settle the matter in
the end, but it is a bitter disillusion-
ment to realize that we have to do
here merely with the old squabble be-
tween vulgar fashion and the DEGREES

HOW TO INCREASE POPULATION

The average gain in population iii
the United States during the past ten
years was 20 per cent. Missouri did
not maintain this average, while Kan
sas exceeded it by a small margin.
The question of vital Importance is
not the number of people a state may
have. The degree of enjoyment in
life for those who live in the state
is the important thing. The fact is
that neither Kansas nor Missouri made
the increase in population they should
have made from 1900 to 1910, and
the reason is that in neither state has
there been the provision made for
the comfort of it's residents that there
should have been. Besides the fact
that the people of both states are
richer by reason of ten years OF good
crops and high prices, there has been
no such gain made in respect to com
Portable living as would attract the at
tentiOn of the h~omeseekers of the
country.
The country roads, generally speak
ing, are just as bad now as they were
ten years ago. There has been little

tunity and if he really can make good
on the job he can name his W salary.
If Brandeis should really succeed in
saving the railroads some millions
each year. the recent increase in rates
would be unnecessary, in fact the
roads could afford to make considera-
able of a cut and still make money.
Mr. .Brandeis may succeed in his laud-
able ambition, and here's hoping he
does, but we have our doubts.
The Brandeis incident, says the
Aberdeen News, is but one of many in
which some good man is quite sure he
can do the other fellows work much
better than he can perform it himself.
There is scarcely a minister of the COS
pei who is not confident that he could
edit his home newspaper much better
than the man who is on the job. There
is scarcely a newspaper man who
isn't sure that if he turned his hand
to ii he could turn out two better
sermons a week than his favorite min
lister manages to do. Perhaps every
regular patron of a restaurant has at
some time longed to get out in the
kitchen and show the cook how to get
up a really appetizing meal-and every
man knows he could improve upon his
Wife's millinery if she would follow
his ideas, rather than those of the
milliner down the street.
/, And so it goes. A man may be
rather a poor stick at his own work,
but he is dead sure he could do the
other fellows task in exactly the

SOUTH DAKOTA CENSUS.

Yesterday afternoon the census
bureau at Washington. gave out the
returns Of South Dakota by counties.
The population of the state is 5S3,SS8,
an increase of 1S2,3lS or 454 per cent
over l01, no in 1900. The increase
from 1890 to 1900 was 72.762, or 22l
per cent.
The population of BrOOkings county
is 14,17S, an increase OF l,6l7 over ten
years ago. This is a very satisfactory
increase. but of course il Is not as
large as some Of the counties in the
western part of the state, but il com
pares fayorlbly with the increases
shown by the eastern and southern
counties. Some of the counties in the
south part of the state have actually
decreased in population, while in
others the increase is very small.
M|inuehaha continues TO be the largest
county In the state, and Brown, where
Aberdeen is located, is second with an
increase of owe 10000 in the last
ter years.
Following is the population by

STATE TREASURY'S CONDITION.

The report of the condition of the
state treasury, as shown by the state
ment for November 80, indicates a
total of $317,401 in all funds, but of
this the general fund has but 81, 623.
But the call of taxes for December
will soon begin to come in, and chat
fund will be largely increased before
the first of the year. The income fund
for the schools of the state contains
$12S,S90, but this will be sent out to
the schools about the middle of this
month, and will not be idle long. The
Irvine plant fund carries $5S,0S5. The
game fund does not show any great
increase on account of the game
licenses of this year, having but Sill
637 at the present time, but as the
county treasurers W II lik' ly remit the
game fund this month at the time of
remittances of other moneys, that
fund is likely to go to $4,000 by the
first of the year.

conditions that go to make rural life
more inviting to young men and
young women have undergone no

DOING.

There will be something out of the
ordinary doing at the NJ. f. church
neXt Thursday evening, the 18th.
While the men have always been well
satisfied with the church suppers
served by the ladies', they have always
treasured a sneakin' idea that they
could do a little bit better, and next
Thursday evening will be their chance
to prove it. They will have to go
some to make good, and they are now
busy preparing to go. On the same
evening the ladies of the church will
have a special sale of aprons, bags,
towels and other useful articles; also
a nice line of home baking in the
parlor of the church, There will also
be a display of Chinese drawn work.
