THE OTHER SIDE.

The position of the Historical So
ciety in South Dakota is not without
precedent. A similar system has OBJ
tanned in Wisconsin for half CEN
fury and Minnesota has an arrange
ment very like it. And let 1t be said
that in both these states the scheme
seems to work satisfactorily. Its
friends contend that Its greatest virtue
lies in the elimination of politics
from the office.
The supporters of Mr.. Robinson call
attention to the excellent results
achieved by the South Dakota society
in comparison with what Is being ac-
complished in Iowa or Minnesota.
where much greater appropriations
are provided yearly, and those for his
torical work only. They point with
pride to the enormous collection of the
books and relics and the reference IL
brary, the value of which Is said to
run into six figures. With the excep-
ton of the congressional library at
Washington, South Dakota, has the
largest Sioux Indian library in exist
ence. In the collection of vital sta
tistics this state is the only one in
the west which has won recognition
from the bureau of commerce and la
Dor by getting comparison in the fed
eral census. This has all been a.
complished by the society and brought
to it's present standard within few
years.
It would be difficult to conceive OF
any other at the historians desk than
Doane Robinson. He has been iden-
titled with the state and its develop
ment for a great many years and
should there come to he any change
from the present plan, he would un-
questionably remain In office at the
solicitation Of the governor.

of her five-year-old boy, George. and still

boy.
Mrs. Melber sat bolt upright when
Kirk was called to the stand He was
the second witness of the day. Kirk
stated that although Mrs. MeIber had
never told him the truth about the child
herself, he had been informed for several
months before the crime that she was
the boys mother. and the fact made no
difference in his rSlatiOns with her.
As to his first conversation with Mrs.
Melber regarding the child. Kirk, on
CrOss-examinatiOn, cOntradicted fatty his
testimony given in the direct examination.
making a complete retraCtiOn on the point
as to who had broached the subject.
In the afternoon the presentation of the
case to the jury was ended and five wit
nesses called by the people were heard.
The court room was filled long before
the trial began. There were more women
present than ever and they followed the
proceedings with close attention. During
the statement to the jury of what the
State expects to prove there were many
moist eyes in the court room.
