Judge Ben Lindsey, the man who
has shown many a boy the right
path to travel, spoke to the Christ
ian Endeayorers at Atlantic City the
other day. Among other things he
said:
"The most dangerous citizen in
any city lis the man who affects in
difference and considers himself
above politics, and no war can more
surely accomplish the ruin of ma
ton than such citizen.
'The people of the present age
spend too much time figuring out
how they are to enter the next king
dom than in finding the key to the
earthly kingdom"
Some of the pillars of the pres
ent day churches are the same hypo-
critics in spirits as those of the early
periods. Christ in facing the multi.
tudc in the market place was only
protesting the formation of the first
trust and granting of corrupt fran
chise.''

Neighbors having made complaint
of the actions of John Ables, whom
they feared was out of his head,
Officer Simmonds went to his resi-
dence over the former w. B. Walker
harness shop on South Front street
this morning and took him in charge.
The officer found it necessary to
break in the door, as Ables had it
double locked and refused to open
it. Ables had a revolver in a bu-
reau drawer. He is said to keep
talking about his wife, from whom
he is separated, and his actions have
been queer.
Ables was examined as to his san.
ity in the probate court this after
noon.
The court decided that Ables was
insane and he was committed to. the
hospital at st. Peter
John stated that he was no more
insane than those who were examin-
ing him.
Ables claimed that he belonged to
Nicollet county; also that people
were plotting against him.

There were 654 deaths on the farm

In spite of the fact that state
sanatoria and hospitals for tubercu-
losis have been established in thirty
one states, and ia municipal or
county hospitals in twenty-six states,
vastly more public provision is need
ed to stamp out consumption, says
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis in a bulletin recently issued.
Every state east of the Mississippi
river except Vermont, South Caro-
lima, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida,
Mississippi, and Illinois have pro-
vided state sanatoria. In Vermont,
private sanatorium is partially
used as state institution, and in
Florida, an indefinite provision for
such a hospital has been made.
The states west of the Mississippi
river which have established state
sanatoria are, Minnesota, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Ne
braska, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana, and Oregon. There are
thirty-nine sanatoria provided by
these states, Connecticut having
three, Massachusetts four, Pennsyl-
vania three, and Texas two. New
York state leads in municipal and
county hospitals for tuberculosis,
having thirty-four, while Ohio, the
second on the list has seventeen
and Massachusetts the third, has
nil In frrn t-ctv tnt
which are the only ones having any
municipal or county care for tuber-
culosis, there are III hospitals, in
Guiding special pavilions and aims
houses.
Hardly more than one-tenth Of the
cities of 10000 population and over,
make any local provision for tuber-
culosis cases, and not One-twentieth
Of the less popuious districts make
such provision. In addition to the
state, municipal, and county hos
pital at Las AnimaS, Colo, and in
vides for certain selected classes in
the United States Army hospital at
Fort Bayard, n. NJ, the United States
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service Sanatorium at FIT. Stanton,
N. NJ, the United States Navy hos
pital at Las Annimas, Colo, and in
five special hospitals for Indians on
different reservations in the west.
Apart from these institutions, and
few special pavilions at prisons
hospitals for the insane, and some
other public institutions, a grand
total of hardly 200, the institutional
care of the consumptive is left to
private philanthropy. With 100000
deaths from consumption every year
and more than that number of liv
ing cases, too poor to pay for theil
care in private institutions, the ma
tional association says that unless
the cities, counties and states rea
lie their duty and provide adequate
local hospital accommodations TO
these consumptives, the disease Cal
never be stamped out.

1t may surprise some people to learn
that great majority of the newspapers
of South Dakota are in favor of recipro-
city with Canada. The reason is not far
to seek. Nearly all of our newspapers
have been demanding revision of the
tariff downward and most of them gave
support to the last republican state plat
form which made such demand. Hence
when the question arises in concrete
form, they give downward revision hear
ty support, even when it happens to
touch some South Dakota products. The
plain fact is that the tariff can not al
ways be reduced on what the other man
produces, and retained on what we pro-
duce. Tariff revision is a matter of give
and take and must always be such, and
the consistent advocate of tariff reduc-
ton must sometime take bit of medi-
cine himself.-Argus-L Leader

ITO be Continued
Foresters War on Animals.

Uncle Sam has turned his forest rang

huntsmen. Orders have been received
by Smith Riley, district forester, to ex-
terminate all wild animals of preda-
tory nature, such as the coyote, wildcat,
wolf, mountain lion, lynx and even the
bear.
Within the last year 724 wild animals
have been killed, the largest number of
one kind being coyotes, of which 6l3
were slain. While the rangers shoot
many of the beasts, the poisoning m eth
cd is also used. Pellets of sugar and
strychnine are placed on the ground and
are readily eaten by the animals.
The large loss of domestic animals
through the depredations of beasts of
prey has resulted in the order to exter-
inmate the rowing animals, and the news
will be welcomed by the rancher and
