.D.S.C.STUDENT
WINS HIGH HONOR
RUSSELL JENSEN WINS "TAFT
CUP" AT NATIONAL DAIRY
EXPOSITION
CUP IS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT
Mr.. Jensen Receives Emblem from
Hands of Mr.. Taft on Monday A
Fine Victory for College

The State college was highly hon
ored the past week, when Russell Jen-
sen of the dairy department carried
off the Taft Cup" at the National
Dairy show at Chicago, the most
coveted prize Of the show. This cup,
a beautiful emblem of silver, was
given by President Taft to the agri-
cultural college student standing high
est in stock judging, and the presi-
dent personally presented it to MI.
Jensen at the show on Monday, Mr..
Taft being there on his return from
his western trip.
Mr.. Jensen scored 1871 points out
of a possible 1000, and carried of
the prize from hundred other stu
dents representing eleven Of the great
agricultural colleges of the country.
He also secured a $500 scholarship
offered by the Blue Valley Creamery
company. The State college team
consisting Of Messrs. Jensen, Erdman
and Pier secured third place among
the eleven colleges.
Mr.. Jensen is a senior and has
specialized in agriculture during his
college course. He is also prominent
in athletics and other student activi-
ties, being center on the football team.
His home is at Mitchell.
The big victory at Chicago has
caused general rejoicing among the
friends Of the college here, and that
includes every man, oma and child
in Brookings. 1t was a splendid tri-
butte to the quality Of instruction I'M
parted to it's students by the college
and reflects particular credit upon
Profs. C. Larsen and J. w. Wilson.
1t will GO more to give tie institu-
ton prestige in it's own state thar
any other event that has happened
in years, and should demonstrate to
the young people Of So tn Dakota that
they need not go out Of the state to
secure the best in the way OF an edu'
cation.
Prof. Larsen and the members OF
the team are expected home tomor'
row night and the students should
and probably will. give them the big
gest kind of a reception. The have
brought the name and fame of the
State college before the people of the
entire country and nothing is too good
for them.

CAN'T RE E.

Chairman Underwood Of the Ways
and Means Committee, is still busy
denouncing the vetoes Of President
Taft, and in a single breath declared
that Schedule X is ~indefensible, and
that the wool bill of which he is the
author. was the panacea for most ma
tional ills. 1t is strange what a diner
ence of opinion exists over some OF
these matters, and President TAFT
cannot see a thing in the same light
as Mr.. Underwood. The President
declares that the Tariff Board is 60
ing to be able to present real scien-
tifc tariff data, and he is asserting IN
his speeches throughout the country
that with this aid Congress can maxi
the best tariff laws in history II they
will do their work thoroughly anc
conscientiously.

o DOING WELL.

The report Of the Brookings public
schools for the month ending October
9th shows a total enrolment OF 721.
There are 359 boys and 1862 girls en-
rolled. The average daily attendance
for the month was 692. There were
420 neither absent nor tardy. The
enrolment and attendance in the high
school this month Is a record breaker.
The principals report shows that there
are "a boys and 118 girls enrolled,
making a total enrolment OF 202 with
an average daily attendance Of 199. 85
or 80 per cent. There were 151 high
school students neither absent nor
tardy. The enthusiasm the students
have for their work emphasizes the
fact that these young people are will
ling to sacrifice a little time and
energy to do something that is worth
while and that a high school educa-
ton Is valued more than ever before.
While each new-coming year has
brought a larger attendance to enjoy
the liberal advantages made by the
Board of Education yet there are some
who are not taking advantage of these
excellent opportunities.
The social side OF high school life
Is made an important factor in the
organization Of the school. The high
school orchestra, the girls chorus,
boys glee club and the literary or
CARNATIONS are no longer a dream but
have became a reality and their in
fluence is noticablv felt in the gen.
erous enthusiasm Win which the stu
dents cooperate with one another for
common ends. The magazine club Is
another factor in the school that adds
to the general culture OF the students.
Music under the direction of Miss
Ostroot is popular throughout the en-
tire school. The bright happy faces
and vociferous tunes speak loudly Of
the influence of this art. The children
are taught songs, rousing martial
songs, sweet and tender songs, music
that the emotions, that stir
the soul.
Manual arts are taught in some
form in al. the grades. The boys and
girls are interested alike in the work,
while there is a variety OF work In
different grades. The work shows a
developing appreciation OF the value
Of hand work in education.
Manual training classes in the 7th
and 9Th grades and n section In
the high school are provided for.
There is great interest in this work.
Boys are so absorbed in the delight
Of making everything. that their en-
tire attention and energy Is given to
the work they have in hand and the
Toy and satisfaction they get from
their work is distinctly depicted in
their attitude toward their school
work In general.

the records for these things and his
demonstration and his department are
worth much more than it is possible
to estimate to the state at large.
Prof. N. E. Hansen is a big man
in his position as the head of the de-
partment Of horticulture. The small
details he encounters number the mil
lions. In much of the work he Is do
ing and has done he does not get hold
of the public pulse in that direct man.
ner as is the las of the other de-
partments which have been mention
ed. The fruit grower sees it at a
glance. Lovers of flowers would be
carried away in their joy could they
complishing. Some Of these days he
is going to give South Dakota a rose
that will make South Dakota~famous.
It is a wonderful study to get into the
secrets of plant life and to discover
what thrives in this climate and as
certain why it is that other varieties
do not live. The professor is also an
enthusiast on the subject Of alfalfa.
This is another new subject in this
as we'll as in many other of the states.
| have heard some call it a fad. A
man who knows nothing at all about
alfalfa is safe if he declares it to be
a great crop to raise. He would come
pretty close to being safe should he
assert that it is the greatest of all
crops for South Dakota farmers to
raise. To talk against it is unwise,
to say the least.
There are too many professors and
too many departments to undertake
to tell about them in a newspaper
article.
No one can remain long in the
company of Robert L.. Slagle, the presi-
dent Of that institution, without be-
ing impressed with his fitness for the
position. He is the general in the
field, his eyes are everywhere and
his devotion to the great work Of the
South Dakota Agricultural college
stands out clear and strong.
The state has done well for this
college considering that South Dakota
is but a young state. But 1T does seem
that no mistake would be made to
provide room enough and equipment
sufficient to keep this school we'll to
the front. There should be erected
a building large enough that all the
students may gather into n room. 1t
is a crime to see a SPLENDID library
crowded into rooms so small that
books are piled on the floor and
stacked up in the corners so that no
system of ~indexing and filing can be
maintained. Practically there are no
tables or chairs in this library room.
If there is to be any such thing as a
pet, this school would come nearer
having a right to be so claimed and
considered. South Dakota is an ag-
ricultural state and her future must
very largely rest on agriculture as a
foundation. The development of those
branches Of education which make to
the advantage of the citizenship is a
first consideration. More practical
things are to be learned for every
boy and every girl at this school than
can be said of any other institution
in the state.

a secondary matter of concern in the
nations capital this week. Item num-
Der one in the public mind has been
the great national game Of base ball,
and now that the Athletics have won
the pennant, statesmen and journal
lists a again find time perhaps to
pursue subjects like the tariff, uni
versal peace, progressiveism, etc.
Americas greatest trust, the United
States Steel Corporation, has been
attacked by the government, and like
the other big offenders will have to
obey the provisions of the Sherman
ANTITRUST law. The biggest fish that
ever got together in a single net are
in the mesh this time, including An
drew Carnage, j. Pierpont Morgan,
John ID. Rockefeller, Charles M.
Schwab, and a dozen other great
the Supreme Court in regard to trusts
greatly alarmed the heads OF the
Steel corporation, and it Is the gener-
al opinion that a speady adjustment of
the present litigation and reorganiza-
ton will be effected. The great Nor
gan has skillfully arranged a graceful
retreat for himself and his associates.
The United States government is
one of the greatest employers of Ia
Dor in the world, and 1t has been
ascertained that more than a half
million people, or to be more exact
513,S54, draw regular pay from
Uncle Sam. In addition 70 this num-
her are 1000 clerks not included,
WHO are paid personally by fourth
class postmasters. The number OF
federal employees protected by the
civil service Is 222,27S.,
There are two full grown o~rganiza-
tons of Progressive Republicans in
Washington, each doing a fiourishing
! head OF what Is known as the Ma
tional Progressive Republican League,
and headquarters are maintained from
which literature is sent out. How
ever the more active institution is
that devoted to promoting the can
didacy Of Senator La Toilette, where
a very large office force Is employed
in promoting a movement throughout
the country estimated in Washington
newspapers as costing three thou
sand dollars a week. The puzzle Is:
Where is the money coming from?
The question Of who will be pilot
of the Republican party through the
next campaign Is constantly being
discussed in the Capital, and every
indication is that Charles d. Hilles
is the general choice Of leaders OF
the party, and will be selected pro.
viding President Taft is willing to
part with his assistance as private
secretary, which Is rather doubtful in
view Of the fact he has become al
most invaluable in the dispatch OF
regular affairs at the White House.
Within the past week a number o.
Representatives and Senators have re
turned to Washington, and have re
opened their Offices on Capitol Hill
The proper attention required by De
partmental work cannot be secured In
a good many cases except by per.
sonal attention, and matters Of this
kind are what are responsible for the
early return OF members, who will
likely remain until the opening o.
Congress now that they are here.
