The obstinate optimist didn't say q
single word yesterday afternoon until
the car on which he had been ridinS
had crawled all the way from Trum.
bulaye. to Sixth-st. Then he hap.
pened TO catch the eye OF his next
door neighbor who was hanging TO the

tons sway.
The neighbor grinned and wanted
10 know II the optimist still retained
vestige OF hope.
tNawi" The optimist's reply was
categorical. 'I've been seem so
many hopeful things about 'em Of late
that wouldn't give up. But from to-
day on, I'm on 'em. Wouldn't they
make you sick? II Wild Bill can't
even hold 'em to less than seven runs
In three innings and with pretty good
support, too, they're through; that 8
all. I know he didn't have anything
but, when pitcher starts a game for
us. he's got to stay in until that game
Is surely lost, no matter how little he
may have. As II turned out. Willett
couldn't fool 'em any worse than Bill
did, 90 I guess IL didn't make any diff
ference at that. But our pitchers are
surely gone. It's shame a club that
can show 'em all the way In fielding,
batting and base-running has got TO be
beat out for the lack OF a couple OF
real, winning pitchers"
F-Ain't there no chance at all for the
Tigers in your estimation"
well, the Athletics might get
caught. in a train wreck that would
kill dozen or so OF 'em, or else they
might all get the smallpox and have
20 go to the pest house. That's how
much chance I give the Tigers now.

went ahead with a series of short,

M EmoRiAL DAYT

Robert G. Ingersoii, in an address in
New York, Memorial day, 1882: "This
day is sacred to the great heroic host
who kept this flag above our heads -sa-
cred to the living and the dead sacred
to the SCARED and maimed-sacred to
the wives who gave their husbands, to
the mothers who gave their sons. Here
in this peaceful land of ours here
where the sun shines, where flowers
grow, where children play, millions of
armed men battled for the right and
breasted on thousand fields the iron
storms of war. These brave, these in
comparable men, founded the first re-
public. They fulfilled the prophecies
they brought to pass the dreams, they
realized the hopes, that all the great
and good and wise and just have made
and had since man was man. But what
of those who fell? There is no language
to express the debt we owe, the love
we bear, to all all the dead who died
for US. Words are but barren sounds
We can but stand beside their graves
and in the hush and silence feel what

THINKS EGAN WILL WIN

Highmore Herald: Recently pc
tition from some of the admirers of
Geo. W. Egan was sent to him at
Sioux Falls from Yankton county
asking him to open his campaign for
the governorship at Yankton on the
afternoon of June 8, at which time a
gala day program has been arranged,
and it is expected that large crowd
will be in attendance. Mr.. Egan has
accepted the invitation of the petit
tioners and will open his campaign
on that date. 1t may be little early
to start the bail to rolling, but there
has already been much talk OF differ
ent candidates in all parts of the
state and from all accounts the field
will be pretty full for that office. In
remembrance of the whirl wind cam
paign made by Mr.. Egan last year we
predict that those vino have decided
to enter the race against Mr.. Egan
will know they have been in the race
before the finish and we would not be
at all surprised if he received the
nomination.

IMMIGRATION LAW a co

The failure of the attempt to refer
the law creating the state department.
Of immigration, means that within
the next thirty days the immigration
board created by the law, will be
called upon to select a commissioner,
the board for this purpose being COM
posed of the governor, secretary Of
of state and state land commission
er. While there are number of ag-
pirants over the state who would not
object to acting as commissioner.
those apparently in the lead are I. a..
Webb of Deadwood, Everett White
of Faith, and George Van Camp Of
Highmore. The selection will prob
ably be made before the first of July
when the law creating the depart
ment goes into effect. Just what SAL
ary will be paid the commissioners lie
left to the discretion Of the board.
but as the department is only grant
ed $500 for the first year ofits exist
ence, and $40, 900 for the second year,
the salary will have to be based
somewhat on the amount at the dis
posal of the board.

FAITH IN ELLIOTT

Sioux City Tribune: The Tribune
can appreciate the feelings and the
attitude of men like r.. O. Richards,
who is opposing the appointment of
j. ID. Elliott to the federal district
judgeship made vacant by the pro-
motion of Judge Garland. But while
it can do this, it cannot agree with
them that the Elliott appointment
should not be confirmed by the senate.
Mr.. Elliott is a thorough South Da-
kotan. His integrity has never been
assailed. He is man of unusual
ability and force of character and it
is hardly conceivable that he would
not be a just and upright Judge; that
be would not hear patiently, every
investigation as to truth and Justice.
He is not only good lawyer, but a
man of affairs, man of conside rab BILE
means acquired by his own exertion
in perfectly legitimate ways. He is
therefore by enlightenment as we'll as
self interest necessarily the friend of
law and order, the champion of jus :
tice. The Tribune believes that his
career upon the bench will verify all
the reasonable expectations of his
friends and that all South Dakotans
VIII have cause to feel pride in his
course.

A NATIONAL PRIMARY LAW.

Washington, June 1.--At the request
of r. 0. Richards .of Huron, president
of the South Dakota primary organiza-
ton, Representative Anderson of Min
nesota has introduced bill for the reg
ulation of national political parties pro
cedure for the purpose of national
party primary enactment and to for
ward the principle of popular form of
government.
The bill provides that it shall be In
cumbent upon all party members, elect
ed as executives or to either body of
congress upon any one majority princi-
pie, to cooperate and enact such pro-
posal of principle into law whenever a
sufficient number of representatives
from the several states, having aee!ar-
ed for such principle, constitute a ma
jority for that particular principle, and
that for such purpose the representa-
tives, as party members, shall be re-
lieved from all obligation of party con-
gressional caucuses and party national
convention platforms. n
The bill further declares that all par
ty Endorsements of candidates for ap-
pointive federal positions shall be gov
erned by the party regulations in each
state where such candidates reside, or
under such party primary laws as the
respective states have or may adopt.

K. s. Vessey of South Dakota, the

CATION Congress at the boards fifth

Room, Hotel LaSalle, sung song Of
big things in the Swinge Cat common

terest on the part of his hearers that
became astonished before the western

fifty men of high attainment in Chi
cago and Illinois civic, professional,
commercial and financial circles, with
the information that South Dakota,
as a state, has for the last thirteen
years produced more new wealth
than any other state in the Union and
that its people have more wealth per
capita than the people of any other
state.
There never has been a time in
the history of South Dakota when
the future of the state appeared more
promising than it appears to me right
now. With our resources rapidly de-
veloping my state soon will be award
ed its proper place in the American
list of states-a center seat in the
first row of these states richest in
prosperity, most comfortable in state
wealth and happiest in its view Of the
future
In South Dakota we have irriga-
ton, one of the best of the government s
projects, though we are not wholly de-
pendent upon this manner of develop
ment, as many others of our state are.
Of South Dakota farming possibilities
| feel that | could give you NO more for
cible illustration than the fact that in
the western portion Of, .,p,lEa state the
farmers produce alfalfa which yields
from five to ten bushels .ofs seed per
acre. This seed, a more important fact
still, terminates possibly thirty per
cent higher than does what s,said to be
the best alfalfa seed possible in other
states. These are some Of the oppor-
tunities the. state has locked in her
treasure box for your pioneers who have
the key.
Although our wealth is founded on
agriculture with the farmer for our
states backbone, we have various other
attractive possibilities. For instance.
it may surprise most of you to learn
chat in South Dakota there are to be
found the most promising gold mine
possibilities. Eastern money is Begin
ming to pour into these developments.
Then. too, are our medicinal water
springs. We have spring health resorts
in South Dakota that are not surpassed
by the famous springs of Arkansas and
year by year our resorts will gain in
reputation until, have no doubt, the
day will arrive when Chicagoan, max
ing mention Of the fact that he is to
take run out to the springs to brace
up bit will be referring to the South
Dakota springs rather than to those of
Arkansas or Indiana, while the person
to whom the remarks are addressed will
so understand with neither of them
mentioning it.
The governor, who arrived in Chiago
this morning, expects to visit here
several days.
