THE "PUZZlE KING" is
DEAD, BUT HIS SON
RULES IN HIS STEAD

Sam Lloyd, Jr, has been chosen puz-
zle editor of the Woman's Home Com
panion in place of his father. Sam
Lloyd the elder. The son inherits his
fathers genius for puzzle-making, and
possesses remarkable originality. Sam
Lloyd the elder was known all over
the world as the puzzle King" He
was a clever artist, an inventor. a
writer, a renowned chess-player and
a profound mathematician. Among
his most famous puzzles are the eff
zen Puzzle" Pigs in Clover" "How
Old is Ann and "The Disappearing
Chinaman," of which last it is said
that more than n billion copies were
sold. At the time of his death Mr..
Lloyd was seventy years old.

Thus it can be seen by any who
desire TO know the truth that anarch-
ism and socialism are the direct OPP
posites of each other and that no one
can thruthfully associate one with the
"No-law." The word Socialism"
means Society" A further defini-
ton or anarchy means that an indi-
vidual may create what he is a mind
to and receive from the public store
house what he needs. Socialism re-
quires a man to create before he can
receive. and, if he will not work
Neither shall he eat"
/ trust that our public men in this
city will be big enough to learn what
socialism is before they attempt to
teach it. And, ! also trust, they will
go to socialism and not TO its enemies
TO learn what it is. They would not
go into the saloon to learn about the
church; neither should they go to
capitalism TO learn about socialism.

empt a homestead, a quarter section
within the city of Sioux Falls. A
Maine lad and graduate Of Bowdoin,
1855, he came to South Dakota, i'm
mediately after having been admitted
to the bar in Portland, on August 27,
1857; not as a lawyer however but as
bull whacker" for the little party of
ten who constituted the first white
settlers in Dakota. But ten days
later his energies had secured his pro-
motion to manager and financial
agent for the company engineering
the settlement, The Western Town
Company. His labor in the services
OF the company seems to have been
unremitting. The experience was not
exactly a holiday pastime. They were
nearly frightened from their purpose
by the appearance of a party of In
dams. 1t must be remembered that
the Spirit Lake Massacre had oc-
cured a few months earlier. One in
cident is worth recording in the words
of the chief sufferer:
con the first day of February, 1858,
Messrs. Brookings and Kinsey started
out to secure for the Western Town
Company the site whereon the city
of Yankton now stands. On reaching
Split Rock river, twelve miles below
the Falls, as then travelled, they found
the water very high: but as they were
on horseback, they succeeded in eros
sing the stream, getting somewhat
wet in the operation. Changing part
of their clothing. they pushed on, at
night reaching Rock River, fifty miles
from the Falls, where they camped.
That night a Dakota blizzard set in
and in the morning it was found i'm.
possible to cross Rock River, as the
water was fifteen feet deep, and it
was raining heavily; so it became
necessary to retrace their steps, to
do which they were compelled to face
a fierce. cold, and binding wind. So
cold and piercing was the wind, that
1t was impossible to face it on horse
back: consequently they were obliged
dismount, and, putting their horses !
ahead, ran to keep from freezing. At
seven o'clock in the evening. Split !
Rock River was reached. The ford
was frozen over, but not enough to
bear the weight Of the horses; and
1t was found necessary to break a ford
through the ice, in doing which MI.
fell through into .hc liver, !

ANARCHY VS.. SOCIALISM

1t is, indeed, discouraging to advo-
Gates of reform and better govern
ment to heal some of our leading men
and educators confounding socialism
and anarchy and teaching they are
n and The same. How long must
We wait for our teachers to learn the
subject matter first before they begin
to teach it? In one of our churches
last Sunday the preacher appealed
to the patriotism of the Old Soldiers
and the Sons of Veterans to put down
"Anarchism and socialism in so far
as it Is a~nnarchistic" in this coun.
try. Webster defines anarchism as
follows: "Anarchism says all govern
ment is evil and each individual Is a
law unto himself. 1t stands for re.
sistance to all present forms of gov.
eminent and social order" In defin.
Ing socialism Webster refers to the
fact that anarchy and socialism are
often confounding and then says: $50
ciaiism, however. advocates a power
full central government; anarchy CD
poses all government as evil"

and possibly the circus. All of which
have successfully passed and as far
as our knowledge extends creditably
to themselves and with great pleasure
and satisfaction to those able to at
tend. Although if we had things our
way, presumably many would prefer
that circus day would not come on
Decoration day.

WANTED--A LIBRARY.
e. II stoddart, Auditor

What can a library supply that a
community needs 70 attain its highest
possibilities?
As a man thinks so he is. His
thinking is. influenced by his reading.
so as a nation reads so ii is. A man
who reads is a better voter, a better
citizen than the one who does not.
AS a practical problem it coucerus
every taxpayer to see that the boys
and girls of a community develop a
taste for the best in literature and
art and music. 1--WE cannot rise any
higher than we think" 1t behoves the
citizens of Brooklngs to make the best
possible citizens of her boys and girls
TO see that their leisure hours and
leisure reading are spent in the most
profitable way. eff We are going to
read for entertainment, let us read the
best-for the sake of the community"
Some may think that a library is
simply a store-house of the classics
and standard literature and nothing
more-but 1t is this and Is, or should
be. something more-it Is the duty of
the library and of every voting citi-
zen to keep in touch with the great
social movements of the day.
Someone has remarked that "in the
smaller towns the ministers and
church members are not taking an
active part in sociological investiga-
tons and work"-many humanitarian
movements. eminently christian in
character are not being carried on by
the churches. This in part Is due to
the fact that the ministers and mem
bers Of the church have no oppor-
tunity OF keeping informed on recent
sociological movements-and back of
this a town Ia to blame for not hav-
ing a public library. There is a great
deal of sociological material that may
be obtained free OF charge from the
government, library commissions,
municipal organizations. etc. With

CHAMBERLAIN A GOOD WITNESS

A dispatch from Washington to the
Sioux City Journal says:
There has long been a lack of sym
patty between the western farmers
and the lumber men, but it had been
fairly well concealed until they beth
appeared before the financial commit
tee in opposition to reciprocity. Mon
day it came out, and the committee
had its illusion that all sorts and con-
ditions were tremendously working
against the bill suddenly shattered.
1t came about through the reappeaI-
ance before the committee of A. E.
Chamberlain, Of Brookings, S. d., who
had been speaking for the western
farmers. He departed from the farm
ers' side TO say a word for the free
lumber. Senator Hepburn, Of Idaho,
who had a delegation of lumbermen
in the waiting to testify, took
him 10 task at once.
Then understand you to stand
for free lumber?'
Yes"
do you expect the lumber people
to support you in your opposition to
free wheat"
Il am not here to do any political
work"
DO you expect these people to give
you a very hearty support?"
Il am not here TO trim my sails. l
am here TO state what I believe to
be the effect Of this bill. If we would
quit playing politics."
Il hear lots of that in the news
papers" interrupted Mr.. Hepburn. 81
listened with a good deal of
interest to your remarks about the
necessity of protecting the farmers in
to wheat. Now you have
in to show why the duty on
is unjust"
mo, not necessarily. I have fin
Ished my proposition"
you will be followed by the rep
resentatives Of the lumber interests of
the real northwest and want them to
understand your position in regard to
their interests so that they may make
up their minds in regard to yours"
Lets explain" responded Mr..
Chamberlain. 81 saw with my own
eyes and held with my own hands in
South Dakota when | was buying
there five years ago a little
book which said from whom a man
should buy his lumber. The trust or
provided for that, and 1
do not see any excuse for the govern
ment protecting an industry that robs
people in that way. l was in a
small town in Montana last week
where they are retailing lumber at $12
and We have to pay $22."
"Who stands between you and that
mill that prevents you getting lumber
any c~heaper?"
THE railroad company with its
the wholesaler and the re-
taller, and we cannot get away from
It."
