The election which was held last
Tuesday in South Dakota towns
and cities, was as usual. very holly
contested in many places on &C
count of the license question.
Taking the early reports we are led
to believe that little real change
has been made by either the tenn
perance or license forces. A few
towns will be wet that were dry
last year and others have gone
from the wet to the dry column.
In many places the vote was very
close, going either dry or wet by
two or three votes and in a couple
of towns a tie vote was cast. A
tie vote however is victory for
the drys, as license is permission
which can only be granted by a
majority vote in its favor. i

A REFUGE FOR "LAME DUCKS"

Under the above heading, the
Minneapolis Journal recently said
editorially that Senator Cummins
bill to compel a report from the
monetary commission by Deem
Der a next and to end its service
on the following dav, may be ac-
cepted by the present congress, not
because of dissatisfaction with the
purpose of the commission, but be-
cause its methods have been so
leisurely and its expense SO sub
stantial.
Another objection to the COM
mission is that it has become such
a refuge for lame ducks" that con-
gress is becoming sensitive to the
criticism of the public on this point.
The congressional members re-
Geive no salary, but as they drop
out of congress they are continued
on the commission and put on the
payroll at the same salaries they
have been receiving as members of
congress. OF the eighteen men,
bers there are now ten OF this
character. They cost the treasury
seventy-fve thousand dollars a
year. The commission employs
an army of investigators, experts
and high-browed professors who
busy themselves preparing mono
graphs. The commission has spent
two hundred thousand dollars, and
has accumulated quite a library on
financial topics, but until Chairman
Aldrich produced his central re-
serve plan, nobody could point to
anything the members of the COM
mission had done.
"Of course, this would be cheap
enough if out of the commission
work there was to come sound
reform OF Our monetary system.
That reform is much needed. But
after all. the commission ought to
be able to complete its labors by
next December"

According to dispatch from
Wakpala in the Minneapolis Jour
nal, the new Indian agent for the
Standing Rock reservation, Mr..
Hamilton, has informed the Indi-
ans who have applied to him for
the right to sell their lands or for
an increase in the government al
lowances, to go home, pillow their
fields and make good generally be-
fore they will be allowed to sell
more lands or get their allowances
increased. AS a general thing the
Indians on both of these reserva-
tons have been thrifty and from
now on, with the example before
them of the white settlers success
fully engaging in actual farming
operations will no doubt follow his
methods and gradually approach
his success as agriculturists.

ANIMALS CAN AND DO REASON
Abundant Proof Is Seen In Incident
In Which Cow and Steer Are
Involved.

As proof that animals can and do
reason the following incident is re-
lated by close observer: A COW and
a steer-the latter two years old
were the only occupants Of the barn.
yard where the occurrence took
place. A batting Of hay was put out
to them, the COW taking possession.
The steer wished to share it, but the
COW was selfish and bent on taking
the whole Of it. AS often as the
steer would maneuver around to get
a bite she would drive him off with
her sharp horns. The steer was so
persistent, however, that the old COW
got angry and made a vicious charge
at the steer, Furnishing him severely,
although he was her own offspring.
The steer felt badly hurt, not only
in body, but evidently in mind as
we'll. He started down the lane
toward the pasture, where the rest
of the cattle were grazing, believing
vengeance at every step in Ian
guage which was unmistakable, and
which the mother well understood,
as she ceased eating and listened in
tently. When the noise died away
she resumed her ration, but with
evident apprehension. Presently
the steer was seen returning, bring
ing with him a companion larger
and stronger than himself AS they
approached, the rumbling of rage
and revenge could be again heard.
which grew louder as they came
nearer. The COW took in the situa-
ton at once, and was now terror
stricken. AS her assailants rushed
into the yard she lodged them and
rushed out at life-and-death speed,
and away toward the rest of the
stock in the field, with her pursuers
close in her track.
OPEN AIR LIBRARY FOR HoeoEs.
William Wheeler Fippen, justice
of the peace of Penryn, CAL, has es-
tablished a library for hoboes in a
grove of trees near his place. 1t is
believed that his hobo library is the
only one of it's kind in the United
States. Books, magazines and daily
newspapers are supplied.
In addition to having shelves sus-
pended from the limbs of the trees
and cases standing against the large
trunks of the oaks and pines, Ftp
pen has placed long table in the
grove, supplied with two benches
and several armchairs for the read
ers. Fippen has few hoboes to deal
with in his court, because they all
know him and respect him.

Word from lady friend of ours
is to the effect that hats this year
will be considerably smaller"
than last season. While not posi-
lively stated as fact we were en-
couraged to hope that this season,
when a fellow goes to church, if he
don't get too far back, he may
with reasonable amount of duck
ing, stretching and leanings to the
right and then to the left, catch an
occasional though fleeing glimpse
Of the preacher. For all Of this

If the length of petition counts
for anything Representative Hedge
sen, of North Dakota, ought to be
counted on by the opposition to
the reciprocity agreement when the
measure comes up for a vote, for
he received one from his home dis
trict the other day that measured a
little over sixty feet. Not only
would the unusual length of the
document have a tendency to make
one in his position sit up and take
notice, but it is adorned with some
$500 names of people back home,
mostly farmers, who vote every
two years for a congressman.

The Christmas Munsey Is another
notable number OF the magazine that
has been in the forefront of monthly
publications for neariy-a quarter OF a
century.
The leading article. "The New WASH
ington." by Isaac F. Marcosson, tells
how the Nations Capital is undergoing
a process of rebuilding that will make
1t within a few years the most mag
nificent city of the world. There is an
excellent literary contribution. "Thack-

who fell for the most obvious frauds,
