omaha, Ark.

Did it ever occur to you that a
ms life is full of crosses and temp
ions? He comes into this world
-hout his consent and goes out
ainst his will; and the trip be-
cen the two is exceedingly rocky.
E rule of contraries is one of the
lures OF the trip, When he is lit
the big girls kiss him; and when
IS grown the little girls kiss him.
e is poor he is a bad manager; if
is rich he is dishonest. If he
is credit, he can't get it; if he is
sperous, every one wants to do
: a favor. If he is in politics, it's
4pie; if he is out of politics, you
Il find a place for him and he is
= good to his country. If he
tsn't give to charity, he is a
Sgy cuss; if he does its for show.
fe is actively religious, he is a
ocrite; ifhe takes no interest in
zion, he is a hardened sinner, If
ives affection, he is a soft speci-
ifhe cares for no one, he is
Nblooded. If he dies young,
'tf was a great future before him;
lives to an old age, he has miss
S calling. The road is rocky,
nan loves TO travel; and after
here is a good deal of satisfac.

Our slow train days are ending
Moonshine, blind tiger too,

The old Arkansaw TO the new.
Over thar is seldom spoken
Over here we're bringing hi

Heap o. times a passel is broken
From old Arkansaw by the new.
We're raising our ideals his her
And placing them to stay
Where prejudice cannot aspire,
Nor passion burn them away.
We're glad the war is over
The Blue and Gray at rest,
And have struck hands together
On the fields of the ever blessed.
We. love those dear old soldiers
That faced to face in the fight
Their children shoulder to shoulder
Have married and settled 1t right.
Now it is corn and cotton,
The church, the bar and school
Those troubles all forgotten,
Now raising and breaking mules.
Our resources myriads in numbers,
We're placing now on the roll
Of pages figure incumbered
To read their value in gold.
Our apple wrote the first chapter
OF properties story in blue,
And more of the tale we'll capture
With old Arkansaw in the new.
Thousands of cattle grazing
Upon one thousand of hills,
A caliope clarion raising
From thousands of busy mills.
The untold treasures lying
Beneath the Ozark hills,
Will send the scale up flying
To millions of dollar bills.
Our lumber resources boundless
And grow as fast as we clear,
Depletion talk is groundless,
We're good for a thousand years.
Timber to fencing put out
Would corral a lot of the states,
And to shut out any kind Of doubt,

And guided with marble halls,
And with just pride relate,

The van as we'll as scout,

Yes, we know our hills are stony,
Some are hard to go

More able to hoe the row.
But thankful that our treasures

And take them by their measure
At their makers will.

CONFERENCE ENDORSED
Semi AND OFFICIALS

At the annual conference of the
Congregational churches of South Da.
kota at Chamberlain last week, E. L..
Sem spoke on THE Layman's Duty
in Civic Affairs. The conference
passed the following resolution among
others:
"The Congregational conference of
South Dakota recognizes that there
is great need of consecrated laymen
who will make sacrifices in advancing
the work of civic reforms. A most
signal victory has been won the past
year against the entrenched historic
vice resorts of Dealwood mainly
through the efforts Of E. L. Sem and
his newspaper, which brings cheer to
the hearts of all sengaged in such
warfare. This conference, of which
Mr. Sem has been an active member
for twenty years, congratulates him
and the moral and Christian people of
Deadwood and the state on the sue
cess of his efforts and expresses to
Mr. Sem the fullest confidence in his
moral and Christian charac Ter, and in
the purity and sincerity of his mo-
tives.
I'VE congratulate Governor r. S..
Vessey and the Attorney General of
the state for their quick and very de-
cided action in enforcing law where
it was manifest that the civic authori-
ties of Deadwood wee recreant of
their sworn duty. Because of this sig
ness, the friend of law and order
throughout the state may tittingly
thank God and take courage"

JUSTICE HARLAN
FILES OPINION
HE SEES MUCH MISCHIEF FOR
FUTURE BUSINESS IN
THE DECISION

Washington, May 20. Associate
Justice Harlan today filed in the
supreme court his formal dissenting
opinion in the Standard Oil case.
Harlan brands as mischievous the
modification made by the court in the
defense of the lower court, permitting
subsidiary corporations of the Stan
dard Oil, after dissolution of combina-
ton, to make normal and lawful
agreement" among themselves.
Chief Justice White had character
lied this modification as minor mat
te""
In connection with what he terms a
"Mischievous modification Justice
Harlan says, "The subsidiary compa-
MES are in effect informed unwisely,
l think-that although the New Jer.
sey corporation, being an illegal com
bination, must not go out of existence,
they may join in agreement to re.
strain commerce among the states, if
such restraint be not undue"
"This court, many years ago, upon
the fullest consideration, interpreted
the antitrust act, as prohibiting and
making illegal not only every con
tract or combination, in whatever
form, which was in restraint of inter
state commerce, without regard to it,
reasonableness or unreasonableness
but all monopolies or attempt to .
nopolize, any part, OF such trade OF
commerce"
"The disposition in the case under
consideration, according to the views
of the defendants, will, it is claimed
quiet and give rest to the business Of
the country. On the contrary, have
, a strong conviction it will throw the
business of the country into confusion
and invite widely-extended and har
raising litigation, the injurious effect!
of which will be felt for many years
to come"

THE c,sTERN AND WELL

When I am as dry as fish up a
tree, then I to the hydrant repair,
and fill myself up, without ticket or
fee, with the water that's eddying
there. I drink all want-half a
gallon or more, and then I lie down
on my couch; when l rise in the
morning my head isn't sore, and l
don't wear a dark brindle crouch,
I've carried an ice water jag by the
week; it never impelled me to strife;
it never induced me for trouble to
seek, or throw chairs and things at
my wife. 1t has never cost me a
job that I priced, or tangled me up
with the cops; claim of this sort
ISN'T oft advertised by the gent who is
fond of Red Drops. I've tanked up on
water again and again and never was
jawed by the boss for having mouth
like the nest of a hen, and breath
that would melt brass joss. We
carried package of that sort of
drink, I've gone on we'll watered
bust, and no one would give the con-
temptuous wink, or step from the
path in disgust. I know that it isn't
a popular drink, because it won't
poison or drug; some fellows are par
tial to violet ink; or lightning that's
kept in a jug. But waters the Ii
uuor of which I will brag, it's virtues
and merits III tell; so hey for the
uplifting ice-water jag! And hey for
the cistern and we'll!

THE NET WEIGHT LAW
(BuIietjn No. 18A

The Net Weight Law, known as the
Curtiss Bill (also as Senate Bill No.
40, imposes the following require
ment:
l. Each and every package of food
must be stamped to show the true net
weight, measure or numerical count.
2. 1t must bear the name of the man
ufacturer or wholesaler, together with
the address of the same.
g.. The true grade, or class, of the
product must be given.
4. All goods in the hands of retail
ers and wholesalers within the state
on July 1, 1911, are exempt and do
not come within the terms of the law
According to the opinion of the Attor-
ney General, this provision does not
apply to goods outside of the state.
The Department will allow varia-
lions on account of small unavoidable
errors in weighing if the error is
found to be as often above as below
the stated weight, and will also take
into consideration the shrinkage due
to climatic conditions in case or pack
ages put up under normal cond1u ms
from normal stock.
Pending the establishing of stan
dards by the State Food and Drug
Commissioned, we would respectfully
request wholesale firms doing businss
in South Dakota to comply as nearly
as possible with that part of the law
requiring the true class or grade of
the product to be plainly marked upon
the container.
1t is expected that system of
standards can be perfected and an
nounced by March LIST, 1912.
Dealers should always protect them
selves by obtaining written guaran-
ty from jobbers with whom they deal.

SQUATTERS

kOTA HOMESTEADS ALLEGED
TO HAVE BEEN ILLEGAL,
LY ACQUIRED

Washington, May 26.-Hundreds of
South Dakota are to be deprived OF
their homesteads alleged to have been
Illegally acquired. This announce
ment was made by the Interior De-
partment yesterday. Arrangements
have been made to start the legal ma
chinery of the department with a view
in the near future of opening up the
land to legal entry.
AS result of the activities of the
reclamation service in the Belle
Fourche valley several new towns
have come into existence. One of
these, the government town of Newell
named for the dill ector of the recla
nation service, has had a phenome.
nal growth and has attracted a large
number Of SPECTATORS
Many of these spectators are said
to have made no effort to comply with
the law and erected buildings on the
town lots
In some instances these sites are
held by the original squatters, but in
Snumerous cases the spectators have
sold their holdings to innocent pur
chasers.
The department now intends tc
hold a second sale of public lots al
public auction in the near future.
Much of the land it is proposed tc
sell is that illegally occupied by squat
tiers and the victims of the squatters
Election proceedings will be insti
tuted against the trespassers in orde1
that bona fde purchasers may 81

1t is regarded as probable that end
less litigation will result from this de
cision of the department, but thu
government intends to get possession
of the land and settle the matter il
the courts afterward.

The federal guaranty stamped upon
each package will give no protection
whatever to dealer IN South Dakota,
or any other state. 1t is only in
tended to apply to goods in interstate
commerce. The legend, "Guaranteed
Under the Food and Drugs Act of
June 80, 1906, is misleading many
dealers and consumers, as it seems
to convey the idea that the govern
ment, in some sort of way, is behind
the product and guarantees the same.
But many of the worst frauds we have
found bear the above legend, and it is
not necessarily a guaranty of purity
in any manner whatever.
The Commissioner will enforce this
law it'll prosecutions if necessary.
Therefore, dealers should not accept
any goods after July LIST, which are
not labelled to show the true net

less such goods are purchased from
one of our own wholesale houses
within the state. Our own South Da-
kota wholesale houses will on the LIST
of July, no doubt, have in stock a
considerable quantity Of goods not la
beled according to our Net Weight
law, and, under the terms of the law,
these goods will be exempt and deal
ers need have no fear in handling the
same.
Special attention is called to the
fact that boxes of berries must be la
beled to show the true measure after
July LIST, 1911.
The following is the text of the law,
which is simply an amendment to the
third paragraph of Section of our
general food law, passed two years

A WORD TO COLLEGE LADS
Riis Tells Them What They Need If
They Enter Journalism


Jacob A. Riis, the author, is after
the demon of cynicism as it turks in
the lairs of journalism. He has writ
ten an article in the Yale News of
New Haven, Conn, warning college
lads that aspire to write in the end
less nook" of newspaper work that
old, fish-eyed cynicism will surely get
'em if they don't watch out.
"The Newspaper profession today
needs young men that will put the
moral above the material, writes
Riis. ut needs young men with
nerve who will drag from it's edito-
rial seat the devil of sneering Gym
icism that has done more to debauch
and degrade our people than even the
yellow sensationalism of the press
and who rather than be drafted into
it service for $50 week will get
along on SIS and stay honest.
There is need for college men i1r
journalism if they will bring their
ideals to it and refuse to part with
them at the cashiers desk, for in
newspaper counting rooms nowadays
they reckon mostly with convictions
that are convertible into cash on de-
mand, and the way to the editorial
room lies directly through the count
ing room. American Press.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE IN 1912

Leslie's Weekly: Under the new
gress. nine of the new electoral votes
those which are gained by Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma
and TeXas-will be carried by the
democratic candidate in 1912, whoever
he may be. Twenty-three of the new
votes-those of California, Idaho, Iii
nois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota, North Dakota, Oregon, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington and West
Virginia-will undoubtedly be won by
the republicans. States which will
have ten new electoral votes-Colo-
RADIO, Montana, New York and New
Jersey-may be placed in the doubt
full column. Under normal condi-
tons these are all republican states,
but the conditions were not normal in
the congressional campaign year of
1910 and may not be in 1912. 1t
would appear, however, as if two
thirds of the forty-two additional
electoral votes would be won by the
republicans next year. Taft had
majority of 159 in the electoral col
lege of 1908, which ought to leave a
safe margin for the republicans in
1912, even if they should in that year
lose several of the states which he
carried three years ago. That the re
publicans will lose some states which
they carried in 1908 is likely, but if
reasonable degree of intelligence and
public spirit is shown by them be-
tween now and voting day next year,
there is fair prospect that they will
hold the presidency and regain the
house.

A stock company is being orr
ganized at Montague for the pur-
pose Of drilling for artesian wat
er. The stockholders of the
company are the farmers of the
Montague and Eightmile neigh
borhoods. A drilling machine,
with which it is possible to go
down 1900 feet has been secured
and it is probable that T. Womel-
dorf of this city will be engaged
to handle the machine. There
are several artesian wells at
Castle Rock, almost directly ac-
ross the river from the Montague
country, also one on Butter Creek.
and the residents of Montague
confidently expectto strike artes-
ian at less than the depth of 1000
feet. Operations will start on
the Asher Montague place and
several other wells will be sunk.
The primary object of securing
artesian water is for irrigation
purposes. Although the soil in
that section of the county is of
the best. the late dry years have
discouraged the farmers, espec-
tally the homesteaders and new
settlers. but It's hoped that with
the advent of artesian water the
land may be made highly product
