AGAINST NEW SCHOOL LAW

1t is possible there will be fight
over the proposed new school law.
Antagonism to it is apparent in many
parts of the state. and at present the
prospect Of the enactment does not
seem bright. The people have not
been sufficiently educated to it's merits
to create any great demand for it, and
it would require some time to bring
this about. The change proposed is
somewhat radical, and it is not pro-
bable that it will be brought about at
once. If the promoters cf the meas
had attempted less it may be that
their chances would have been better
ed for accomplishing more. No doubt
the emminent educators who framed
the bill are qualified to advise upon
educational matters, but the legisla-
ture will be slow to endorse ANYTHING
that looks like an overturning of the
present school system.

THE NEW YEAR

Hyde County News: Another year
is past and gone, it's record and it's
general progress have passed into
history, the world is done with it and
has handed it over for perusal to
coming generations. The events of
1911 are hidden behind an impene-
trable curtain, which will be revealed
to us as time passes. Things will go
on about the same. There will be
much that is startling, sadness and
sorrow will prevail; with some there
will be pleasure and enjoyment;
crimes will be committed and disaster
will overtake many, and when least
| expected. The question: "Is life
worth living?" is still debatable, but
it really cannot be answered only in
individual ways. With some it would
be answered without hesitation in
the negative with others the dignity
of appreciation, to one who revels in
the beauty and grandeur of nature,
who sees the glory of an unseen
power, in the green grass, in the
rugged outlines of the woodland, in
the starry heavens, and in the oppor-
tunities or doing good in the world
which he loves. Yes, they will go on
the same in the new year, and it is to
be hoped that the world will grow
better in the coming year, at any rate
we can il we will each one of us do
our share to make it SO. in spite of
the prevailing sellishness which is
ever in the way.

TO CLOSE SALOONS AT 8

The strongest sentiment is for com

VETERAN INDIAN DEAD

AT his home on the Lower Brule
reservation occurred the death of
Elisha Quilt, one of the oldest and
most highly respected Sioux Indians,
who during the past fifty or sixty
years had become prominent in the
affairs of his tribe. He was All In
dian of great influence among his
tribe, and by his advice the Lower
Brule Indians in early days became
true friends of the whites and have so
remained. Quilt, together with three
other Sioux, were the leaders in sign
ing treaty with the United States
government by which several hundred
thousand acres of the Lower Brule
reservation was surrendered and
opened to settlsment.

DOES TIE DIVISION HOLD?

Boys, there's blood on the moon,
the patriotic bunch of Sterling county
boosters at Milesville and vicinity
have been busy since the election
upon the vote in Stanley county upon
county division and they announce
this week that the opinion of three of
our best lawyers in the state, Judge
Gaffy, of Pierre, James Brown. of
Chamberlain, and Joe Kirby, of
Sioux Falls, is to the effect that the
majority vote which Sterling and
Jackson counties polled at the last
election stands. A petition is now
on the way to the governor asking
him to declare the election legal and
calling for a date to hold election in
the two counties for county officers.
The Republican looks to see the
whole business go up in smoke, but
in the meantime it will give the
enthusiastic ones a chance to spend
their money.--Cottonwood Repub

LET'S SOUND THE PRAISES

One of the principal recommends
tions made by Governor Vessey in his
message to the legislature was to pro-
vide the ways and means for advertis-
ing the resources of the state and
thereby inducing immigration. This
work South Dakota has heretofore
neglected. Financial considerations
have poured cold water on all efforts
to get the legislature to attend to this
important part of state development.
The 1910 census shows good growth
in ten years past, but the record made
by North Dakota indicates what
might have been done in this state had
there been well directed effortt to tell
the world about the wonderful ad-
vantages and opportunities to be
found here. South Dakota needs more
publicity, and better publicity. 1t
should be represented in the news
columns everywhere not with tales of
billiards., drouths, rattlesnakes, and
divorces, but with truthful stories of
the great wealth produced and the
achievements Of it's thrifty people.
The legislature could make no inyest-
ment that would show such returns as
a fund set aside to start a campaign
of nationwide publicity to be kept up
vigorously and daily for the next ten
years.

TOO MUCH REALISM

Atchison Globe: Heard by wom-

very sick patient who should have
gone to warmer climate to recover,
but was too poor. So the doctor had
sun painted on the ceiling of the
patients room, and hoped to induce
him to believe the sun was real, and
cure him by suggestion. The patient
seemed to be doing fine, and the doc
tor was delighted with his case. Sud-
denly one day the patient dropped
dead. The doctor was heartbroken;
thought his scheme had failed. 1t
had not; the patient died of sun

NEED NEW REFoRMAToRY

Judge Mccoy of the supreme court
Of this state believes there should be
a reformatory for the purpose of Civ
ing a criminal convicted of his first
otfense chance to become good
citizen. The judge knows from ex-
perience and observation while on the
bench that many people who are sent
to prison are made worse thereby,
while few are made better. Isolated
for time where criminal will be
ander good influences might well be
expected to do good in great many
cases. The success of the municipal
courts for juveniles such as Ben Lind
say has made famous should suggest
that the saving of the criminal rather
than his punishment and degration
should be the chief end sought.

The governor of New York state is
paid salary Of $4,000, and the re-
tiring governor says it is not enough
to enable the governor to meet the
social and other demands upon the
chief executive. 1t is understood
that Governor Hughes ran behind
badly during his incumbency. Gov.
Dix, keying his message to the text
of economy in state expenditure all
around, is prevented from saying
anything about the need of higher
salary for himself. Perhaps he is
willing to draw on his own purse to
support the dignity of his official
pusition. Perhaps, however, he is
willing to set an example in the way
of economy by limiting the social
functions of his office to the measure
of the salary.

eligible, is not a bad one. 1t is sup
posed to be law of the Medes and

vent the adoption of measure simp-
ly because it is new. Otherwise, the
