GOV. WILSON AND HIS PLUG

The sight OF Gov. Woodrow Wilson.

a plug hat" has been seized upon
by the politicians and newspaper
writers, as final evidence that he is a
factor in the presidential race. Ex.
Gov. Briggs OF his state. on seeing
Mr.. Wilson thus equipped. remarked
Immediately that Woodrow Wilson
has the germ. and unfortunately there
is no anti-toxin for it,"
The Chicago Tribune moralizes on
the subject and denies that plug

MR.. WATSON AND FREE COAL

Senator Watsons vote 70 put coal
on the free list has been more or less
enthusiastically commented upon by
extreme Democratic papers. which
point 10 Il so TO speak as an example
OF self immolation. AS a matter OF
fact Mr. Watson's vote was a
theatrical performance. which he
knew could do no harm 20 him or 20
anyone else. There Is. however. a very
definite understanding of Mr. Wat
sons attitude so far as the duty on
coal is concerned. Mr. Watson is a
large producer of coal. lie has been
for years az the head OF the Fairmont
Coal Company. "A concern which mar.
kets yearly millions OF tons Of coal IN
the west and northwest Only a
small proportion OF the coal sold by
Mr.. Watson's companics ftds its way
10 the Atlantic sea board. II can BE-
readily understood tha, the import
duty of forty five cents per ton upon
coal does not seriously effect the mar
ket for Mr.. Waison's coal. nor would
the loss Of that duty seriously iniure
him. On the other hand IT "a resulted
in the development Of greater mar.
ket in the Canadian northwest.
through the ike removal OF coal
duties by Canada. Mr. Watson's
financial interests would be vastly

IS time for these visions to fade Into
the damp and ghostly fog of which they
are composed and get down to solid
earth and facts. Pierpont has its full
share of sneak thieves; its full share of
DRINKS; some disreputable citizens;
some crooks and gamblers. It has fur
nished its full share of court cases and
sensations and will furnish more unless
the fathers and mothers of tbs town
soon wake up TO the fact that they have
duty TO perform.
Babies and children who are turned
loose upon the streets TO receive their
education and training certainly do not
have the benefit of much home infiu-
ence. 1t is harder 10 teach a small boy
to use tobacco and profanity at home
than on the street-but it can be done.
1t may be innocent pastime for girls of

of the town at night. but their proper

with the board and look after our own
children as we'll as those of our neigh
bors.

regret to the many friends of Harry

of the Day County Democrat, to hear
that he has severed his connections
with the paper, and will no longer act

ton has been accepted by the board of
directors and his successor, Hugo M.
Speier, has arrived from Minneapolis

The new editor modestly asserts that
he is young. ambitious, progressive and
democrat, and that it is his intention
to continue the paper as an advocate of
true democratic principles, and in the
best interests of the people of Day
county and South Dakota.
Being total stranger to local condi-
tons, our position is rather a difficult
one, AID we ask the forbearance and
indulgence of our patrons. Any and
all assistance rendered in the matter of
news, any information or friendly
advice will be greatly received.

What is a reputation? The whole
country is willing TO believe the worst
that can be said about South Dakota
crops and the best that can be said
about Iowa crops. There was nearly
ten and half inches Of rain at Mitchell
from April to July 10, and no point
in Iowa can show as great rainfall.
Yet If you viii ask any one in Iowa
about the two states. he will say
South Dakota has suffered from
drought, while Iowa has had rather
dry weather. II all is due to the bad
advertising given South Dakota when
Pennies settlers were driven back by
the very first dry year in the state.
They were in no condition to withstand
adversely and SO they went away tell
ing alarming stories about South
Dakota weather. The pioneers in Iowa
and Illinois AMI every other prairie
state underwent the same experience.
but that was longer ago and is for
gotten in the later prosperity Of those
states. just 50 the prosperityof South
Dakota will in time swallow Up the
unjust reputation given to the state by
the first Corners.

Harry L. Sexton arrived here the

he is again among us. For some time
past he has been editing the Day
COUNTY Democrat at Bristol, which
position ne recently resigned. Mr..
Sexton is an all around printer and
newspaper man and will be a great
help to the editor. He expects to move
his family here in few days.
In speaking to the editor of this
paper Saturday afternoon in regard to
the changes that have been taking
place and conditions that exist, Henry
S. Volkmar, former editor of the
Review and resident of this city and
county for thirty years, in regard to
the decline in the dairy business said.
Upon my return visits when / find
reverses in light crops, it causes me to
regret that after years put in to infiu-
ence them in diversified farming and
creameries, and the old settlers know
that the creameries put them on their
feet, that the prosperity caused them
to forget how to milk cows. Crop con-
ditions this year are blessing in dis
guise and win cause the farmers to get
back to dairying. With the corn crop
the next step should be to build silos
and make ensilage. =
1t will be remembered by the older
residents Of the county that Mr.. volk-
mar was very instrumental in and took
an active part in the establishing of
creameries in this county, and he has
always felt keen interest in them and
in the welfare Of the farmers. He
believes now, as he always did, that
dairying is more profitable and depend
able for the farmer than wheat raising.

They rid member of our household OF
an attack of kidney complaint after it

had failed to yield to other prepara-

for weeks by torturing pains through
the kidneys and his back was so lame

the second box had been used, every
symptom of kidney trouble had dis

In front of poor widows door.

Wrapped the street and square. noun

That was his deed;
He did it We'll
what was his creed?"
cannot tell.
Blest ''in his basket and his store, ("
In sitting down and rising up,
When more he got he gave the more.
Withholding not the crust and cup.
He took the lead
In each good task
What was his ereed?"
did not ask.
His charity was like the snow,
Soft, white and silken in its fall:
Not like the noisy winds that blow
From shivering trees and leaves pail,
For flower and weed
Dropping below.
What was his creed?"
The poor may know.
He had great faith in loayes of bread
For hungry people, young and old;
And hope inspiring words he said
To him he sheltered from the cold.
For man must feed
As well as pray,
What was his creed?"
cannot say.
In words he did not put his trust;
In faith his words were never writ;
He loved to share his cup and crust
With any one that needed il.
In time of need
A friend was he
What was his creed?"
He told not me.
He put his trust in heaven, and worked
Ever along with hand and head;
And what he gave in charity
Sweetened his sleep and daily bread.
Let US take heed,
For life is brief
Adopt his creed
And give relief.
