Tt may be said that Judge Over field is sWayed in his opinion by the very evident desire of the people that the barrOom license shall in clude the privilege of retailing in small bottles" said the Times in an editorial criticising Judge Overfield's s decision ill the liquor case. and it then goes on 10 say that it is doubtful. however if such motives will have any influence upon the court of appeals" to which the case must undoubtedly be carried"
 Such criticism is absolutely un- Warrante ed under the circumstances. and can be actuated solely by the chasrin engendered because the opinion rendered clashes with the nharisaical doctrines in regard to the same matter enunciatcd from lime tD time in the Times

THE STEVENS "REMINISCENCES

MT. Stevens this week brings to an end his series of personal recollections of old time Canaan and Oanaanites. These articles have been running in The News for something over six months and have covered practically all sections of the town. They have been full of interest ing reminiscence and valuable histori- cal and biographical data that will be indispensable to the future histOrican of Canaan. MT. Stevens has devoted much time and laborious effort to research, in- terviewing and writing, to compile the great amount of matter that has been given to The News readers, conveying information of persons and places in old time Canaan, which it would be difficult if not impossible, to obtain ten years hence, or after the old natives of MT
 Stevens generation shall have passed on
 Through the medium of these reminis
 cences the readers, in this section, have been enabled to learn more about the antecedents of the present generation of native Canaanites than they ever knew before, and MT. Stevens, who performed the arduous work as a labor of love and

The Kind That's Needed

A multitude of boys and girls are to- day attending the schools of our land who never will, or can, enter any higher course. According to the census of 1910 there were nearly twenty million boys and girls attending the public schools of our land, and not two per cent. of that number will never graduate from our seminaries and colleges in any one year. Then how necessary it is that the con- mon school system of our country should be made better How necessary it is that every person connected with the maintenance or support of our public schools should be man or woman thor oughly equipped for bhe service, and should give to it their best thought
 The world today is seeking men and women who are honest and upright. It will not make them honest to be educat- ed It will not make them upright to be intellectual. The training they re- ceive must come from persons them selves who know what honesty and up rightness means. and who will by pre- cept, as we'll as example, instiu this idea thoroughly into the minds and hearts of their pupils. This is the work of our public schools, to train childhood and youth so as to make good citizens.

so+t Drink That Dyes Stockings.


 A chemist ot the food and drug de- partment of the Indiana State Board of Health recently conducted 8 very interesting experiment with bottle of so-caHed summer soft drink,'' such as is sold at soda fountains and in ice cream and confectionery stores. Sus- pecting that the beautiful strawberry color of the drink came from coal tar dye rather than from the fruit, the chemist poured portion of the contents tents of the bottle into @ bowl and soaked a white stocking ill the solu- tion for a few minutes, the stocking came out bright pink, so thoroughly dyed that repeated washings failed to dislodge the color. Hundreds. perhaps thousands, of Indiana adults and children had been drinking this dye stuff before the laboratory test deter mined it's dangerous character, and no doubt many of them had which ascribed to other causes. The amount of sickness due to dangerously adulerated food and drink is incalculable; that it must be enormous is proved by the frequent discovery of the use of such poisonous material as the pink dye four in the Indiana strawberry" drink. The particularly regrettable thing about it is that the law does not provide severe enough penalties for the interruptions manufacturers of the stnff.-Springfield Union.

THE SPEED PERIL

It is neither difficult nor disagreeable to concur with the Hartford Oourant in this proposition
 "Why not make the automobile serve the purposes of temperance? Our Con- necticut secretary of state refused the other day to issue a license to a man 'on account of his tendency to overstep the lines of moderation at times in the use of intoxicating liquors,' A clear head is required to run an automobile safely, and it seems to us that this refusal should serve as a binding precedent in regard to all men who for one reason or another do not know when they have had enough. John Barleycorn and an automobile together are too much"
 It would doubtless be difficult task to separate them. nevertheless, but with the application of rigid rules and stipu- lations in the office of the secretary of state and the adoption of the rule of mo respect to persons" it should be practi- cable to minimize the mixture and re- duce the number and hazard of joy rides and jag rides. But however binding the rules and however rigid the require ments, the secretary of state can pre- scribe no restriction that will check the passion for speeding that takes posses sion of the most prudent driver the in- stant he sees clear stretch, of straight temptation-and he won't try.

FAILURE.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Do you think your life failure
 Just because you did not win? Don't you know renewed endeavor
 Is of failure nearest kinf If success crowned your first effort, And you reached the longed for goal, It might satisfy your longing,
 And then backward you would roll. Failure often proves blessing;
 Gives the impetus to plan Better than our former dreaming,
 And develops the true man. So whenever you meet failure,
 Look it squarely in the face; With renewed determination,
 Strive to reach higher place.

There is no gainsaying the force of 'Kicker's' kick against the existing condition of the pike east of the East Canaan schoolhouse where asuriking contrast is presented as between roads and roads. The News admits it's lack of qualification for speaking with authority on the subject of roads. town-wise, state wise or otherwise, excepting as to condition. The complex and intricate processes involved in the modern method of road building and repair, in the towns, are beyond the mere and ordinary chronicler of local events who lands aloof and views with awe, if not ith alarm, the sequence of negotia- s, treaties, concessions, contracts. .lations and agreements, with fcations that reach out into the

None Of the old-timsrs in South Da-
kota were stampeded by the hot dry
weather in June and July, because they
knew from experience the recuperative
power of South Dakota soil, and the
average dependability of our crops. But
many of the tenderfeet did some foolish
things. In the middle of July one Of
them sold his grain crop for $50 and left
the State. A young man bought it and
threshed out III bushels of wheat from
it. In the southern part of Hughes
county, an Iowa tenant turned over his
crop to the owner of the land for the
rental and went back to Iowa. The
owner of the land has since refused
81, 700 for the crop so abandoned and
the tenant went back to State which
did not have an inch of rain from the
first of June to the first of September,
while in this portion of South Dakota
the rainfall in that period has been q
foot and half. 1t still stands true that
the rolling stone gathers no moss

Back From Scotland,

Mrs. William Allan and daughter, oil
Hermosa, have returned from Scotland,
where they went four months ago, and
enjoyed their trip very much. They
were at Edinburg during the visit Of the
King and Queen. Mrs. Allan says she
found everything much changed from
what it was when she left there to come
to America, but she thinks it is for the
better as everyone seems prosperous.
She especially enjoyed the profusion
of flowers, especially the hedges oi
fuchias which surround the yards. Co.
ing over she did not suffer in the least
with seasickness, but had touch of il
coming back. They passed between two
icebergs, each one as large as the city oi
Hermosa. On their return voyage they
visited in New York City for three days
and then went to James Burbank's al
Interlaken, N. Y. They also visited De
Burbank and family, only 60 miles from
there, at Andover. Both were former
Hermosa residents, have nice homes
and are getting along well.-Rapid City
Journal.
