The Register is republican. Has
been such in season and out of sea
son. But the Register is OF that in.
dependent sort that it feels free to
strike at anything that is not in the
interests of the common people. In.
dependent thought and action of the
~RoOseyeltian order, is now looked upon
by the American people as an inner
cnt right. The time was when we
supported the devil if he was on the
republican ticket-the time has come
when, like a host Of others, we have
seen the light and the iron bound
yoke of partisanship has been thrust
aside, the scale has dropped from
our eyes, and the loavcs and fishes
belong no more to- the insurgents than
to the stalwarts when they are not
feeding the multitude. The greatest
good to the greatest number" should
be the w~atchwOrd Of every republican
and the fact that he poses as a stall
Wart or insurgent should make no diff
The present high cost of
brought about by the trusts
and the present high taxes brought
about by the Vessey administration
all need drastic treatment, and if
the people view it from the same
standpoint as the Register, tn re is go
ing to be a change.

Many Of the winners in last falls
land lottery in this state are not filing
at Aberdeen, and it is likely that it
vii ~lrequire more than twenty thou
sand drawn to fiji out the ten
thousand claims. Thousands register
ed merely as a speculation, and when
they did nOt draw on of the first few
number they declined to Gle. How
ever, it is likely hat those who do
file are bona fide settlers in search
OF homes and this is the class need
ed to build up the country.

the property benefited. Thousands
of acres in Turner and Clay counties
that have been rendered almost val
ueless by the floods Of the past five
years are expected to be relieved from
this damage. The survey of the Big
Sioux Valley will be a valuable and
very material assistance to the peo-
pie interested, as the entire expense
is borne by the government, and a
comprehensive plan embracing the
whole valley will be worked out, and
blue prints with specific details and
estimates will be furnished each coun-
ty, for use in carrying out the work.

When you have a spare hour dig up
the acts of the legislature and the
constitutional amendments which are
before the people for consideration
and approval at the next election.
Some Of them will commend themselves
to you and others may not. We do
not know the real merits of the mil
itary bill and shall make a study of
it for the benefit of our readers soon.
The constitution amendments provid.
ing that all laws for the location of
new state institutions shall be sub.
mitted to the people and the other
one increasing the salary of the attor
ney general we are sure have merit
and are worthy of the support of the
people. We have frequently advised
the approval of the Bryniulson bill
empowering the governor to enforce
the law and we deem this the mos
important matter which will come be
fore the voters this year.-CantoI

The state board of charities and
corrections has selected a site for the
new tuberculosis sanitarium five miles
south of the city of Custer. The
last legislature made an a%ppropria-

the present. The sanitarium will be
used only for patients in an advanced
state Of the disease.

President Taft finds that it is no

You may be able to get out a large
city daily, filled with accounts OF
murder, scandal cases, airship flights.
etc, for about the same money that
you pay for local papers; but those
city weeklies do not advertise your
county and make property valuable.
They don't help along your schools
and churches; they don't publish
your county news; they say nothing
OF you or your town and have no in
terest in you. A good newspaper is
rs much advantage to- a town or
country as are good schools. If one
OF our farmer friends should happen
in one OF those big Offices he would
find out in two minutes that he had
no cordial welcome there such as he
would receive at a printing office at
home. Stand by your own papers,
for they always stand by you and
ever on the lookout for your interest.

We cheerfully admit that the fur

add whole lot to modern comfort,
but after all they have their draw
backs. For instance, you can't very
well pop corn in either a furnace or
base burner. 1t took those old
fashioned stoves, in which we used to
burn a two-foot length of hickory
wood, for that sort of things. When
the wood had burned down to glow

rake the Goals down in front and pro-
ced to pop corn. When we get rich
we are going to have one of these old
fashioned stoves put up in our room,

In the basement, and every now and
then We are going to start a fire in
that stove, get good bed of Goals,
and then pop a dishpan full of corn,
just as a reminder of old days. OF
