BASE BALL TEAM

Last Saturday number of
base ball promoters got together
at the City Hall and decided that
Sisseton needed a ball team.
Hugh Batterberry was chosen
manager and Mike Mead Trea-
surer and Secretary.
A good ball team is a valuable
asset to the upbuilding of any
town and it is to be hoped that
the citizens of our city will not
be behind other towns in this
matter, but will see fit to SUBJ
scribe literally toward a neces-
sary fund to start things moving
along in the right direction.
Maurice Kivley and Pat Rear
don are busily at work now get
ting the base ball diamond in
shape and it is claimed that it is
to be the finest in this neck of
the woods, and the base ball fans
will soon be having hard fought
battles cheered by an enthusias-
tic crowd of onlookers.

Just a year elapsed from the

there is as much speculation as
ever as to the present population
of the places. Manifestly the

est cities in the state as credited

BALLINGER PAYS TRIBUTE
TO THE WESTERN LAWYERS

Richard A. Ballinger, who recently
resigned as secretary of the interior
after stormy administration, was
the guest of honor at a banquet given
by the Spokane Bar association recent
ly. The meeting was the most repre-
sentative of the legal profession ever
held in that city. In responding to the
ovation rendered him, Mr.. Ballinger
paid tribute to the western men as
a whole, and to western lawyers in
particular. He said in part: "The
mea of our profession are too prone
to look on the material side, and yet
at tie begnring Of this republic The
lawyers shaped its policies, and in the
annals of constructive craftsmanship
the great lawyers sacrificed time,
means and energy for the permanency
protection and advancement of the re
public. Many of the great lawyers of
today are in the pay of the great com,
mercial organizations of the country
and are incapable of helping then
communities and nation to proceed
along safe sane and stable lines
There cam be no stability Of govern
ment unless its immutable and funda
mental principles are supported by
the people.

COUNTY FATHERS
in REGULAR SESSION

The board of county commissioners
met in regular monthly session yester-
day morning, with Chairman Havi-
land, Commissioners Stoker and Brad
shaw present.
Although at 6 O'Clock yesterday
morning Chairman Haviland had his
left foot badly injured by being run
over by heavily loaded stage coach,
against the advice of his physician he
was present, considering the county s
business of more Importance than his
personal comfort.
While the board held session
last evening, little or no business has
been transacted thus far aside from
the consideration of bills. IT is
thought, however, that the board will
be able to conclude it's labors and ad-
journ this evening.

DESERVED TRIBUTE
TO THE PHYSICIAN

Newspapers frequently criticize
seemed to some that recently the pro-
fession was getting rather more than
its share of such criticism. There has
never been any question, however, as
to the appreciation of the physician as
an individual, as shown by the recent
editorial in the Washington Herald:
s'Of all the servants of mankind,
physician is apt to be the most abused.
We criticize him and pigeonhole his
bills, but at the first twinge we are
iangling his bell in alarm. The physi-
clan is the man who must be ready al
ways. Neither minute hand nor hour
hand describes time when he is not
on duty. If he gets a whole night g
rest, it is because the community hap
pens to be free from aches and pains.
He is the slave of telephone, night bell,
door-b bell and offiee-bell
'After a hard days work, another
man goes to bed with the sense Of
having earned his rest; but the prob
abilities are that the physician will
be asked to respond to some one IS beck
and call. He is altogether a special
kind of person. His illusions are few.
His inside information is enormous If
now and then he wears superior
smile, forgive him. He has probably
just heard some renark which he
knows to be hypocritical. again, his
jokes are likely to be a bit technical,
and his view of life materialistic. But
if he has brand of idealism, you can
put your trust in it, for he has learned
it in hard school. He has faced the
worst and can still believe the best.
If he has religion, it will be worth
while, for he has wrested it out of the
actual battles of good and evil in a
life seen at close range.
"The lawyer we take into our
confidence occasionally; the clergy.
man we admit to parlor and dining
room; but the doctor goes into bed
rooms unannounced If what he sees
there surprises him, he does not let it
be known. In the healing of bodies he
has opportunities for healing souls
which could never come to a priest
He is the lay father eonfessor, regard
less of creed. He always fits in. He
is a safe man on committees; he can
turn his hand to any public business,
and, if left alone, discharges it credit
ably. He knows more psychology in
five minutes than the philosopher in a
week, yet he is the least emotional of
men.
"When the lawyer is in tears be-
fore jury, and the parson is pathetic
from his pulpit the doctor is keeping
his nerve. The peculiar thing about
him is that while fighting his grim and
silent battle with death, without the
applause of crowd, often without
pay, and sometimes without gratitude,
he seems superior to all these consid-
erations. He is responding to higher
sort of noblesse oblige which is almost
unintelligible to the average man.
Somewhere, either in this world or the
next, he will reap his deserved re-
ward.'

TEDDY" RECEIVES
POPULAR OVATION

Attorney L. G Campbell returned
from Reno this morning, where he
went the latter part of the week to
attend to business matters, staying
over to meet Col. Roosevelt yesterday.
Reno was filed with a tremendous
crowd, estimated to be larger than the
one last Fourth of July. While the en-
tire state was well represented, the
nearby towns of Verdi, Carson City,
Virginia City and Fallon were present
en- masse. A number of people were
there from Humboldt county, Father
Enright occupying a seat on the plat
form at the courthouse exercises. From
the moment of Col. Roosevelt Is arrival
continual ovation. In the morning he
spoke to large audience at the state
university and in the afternoon ad-
dressed another lareg gathering at the
courthouse. After completing his talk
at the latter place the multitude re-
mained standing in their places in an
expectant attitude, evidently wishing
to hear more. Senator Flanagan arose,
and with a wave of the hand shouted,
$50 home.'' With uplifted hand the
Colonel stayed his auditors, remarking:
81 wish to congratulate you on your
great barbecue. 1t was the finest I
perior manner of eating, and that is
from the back end of chuck wagon. =
Colonel Roosevelt left Reno for San
Francisco at midnight, in his private
car attached to Southern Pacific No 9.
