New York's Foreign Element.

Communion with The crowds of New
York, especially on holiday occasions
when nultitudes assemble, is strongly sug-
gestive of the foreign character of a
metropolitan population. BY tens of
thousands the alien element is in evil
dence. In some parts of the city large
areas are almost exclusively peopled with
this imported factor, representing every
country in Europe and in large measure
unfamiliar with the English language.
There are. indeed, neighborhoods in New
York where English is understood only
by the children. who are learning it in
the public schools. these serving as in
terpreters for their elders. who make no
effort to aoquaint themselves with the
tongue of their adopted country. They
either trade among themselves or, il en-
gagged IN unskilled labor. work under
leaders Of their own race who translate
for them ali necessary communications.
In foreign cities 1t Is common to see
warning signs and directions printed in
TWO or three languages. for the accommo-
dalton of tourists. If this practice were
10 obtain in New York 1t would be neces-
sary TO reproduce every placard in at
least half dozen tongues in order 10
reach the intelligence of the majority
of many Of the East Side crowds. The
authorities however. have not undertaken
to translate their notices, preferring to
put the burden Of effort upon the public.
This is certainly a fairly effective means
Of encouraging the study of the English
language, but 1t unquestionably at times
makes for police court work.

LAND SALES BRING IN
NEARLY MILLION DOLLARS

Pierre, S. D., April 2O.-The state
land department has completed its
sales of state school lands for this
year. While the acreage sold was not
so large as last year, the average price
was far above that OF any other year
in which sales have been made.
The sales reached 19,007 acres,
bringing a total OF $9SS,052 to the
fund, OF which % per cent must be
paid in cash. Many of the purchasers
paid the full amount, and the perma-
nent fund will be in shape to supply
demands for many Of the loansp pend
ing.
BY counties the sales were: Dawson,
1900 acres at an average of $54.30;
Hanson, 1856 acres, average $56.64;
Hutchinson. 2,193 acres, at an average
of $54.S8; Codington, 3,193 acres, aver
age 1854; Deuel., 1853 acres, average
$27.34; Hamlin. ALSO acres, average
$54.93; Day, 1,49S acres, average
$3.50; Brown. 1853 acres, average
$56.38, making the general average for
the state, $52.03.
Most of this land was purchased by
owners of adjacent tracts and was not
speculative buying. Some of the tracts
went above 500 an acre. At such
prices the school fund Of the state will
run into many millions more than the
founders of the state ever reamed OF
when they placed the minimum selling
price at $40 an acre, with doubts in
the minds of many of them whether
much of ii would ever sell at that
price.

and Gross. KempKer poiled 312. Walker
1862, and Gross, the socialist, AZ. The
aggregate vote, 512, was the largest
ever cast at a city election. Gilbertson
was elected to the commission to sue
ceed C. I'll. Barrett. with 267 votes, to
226 for Palm. e. c. Barton was re-
elected TO the school board without OPP
position.
The fight was largely directed against
the local machine which has attempted
to run Vermillion politically for sew
eral years, and the insurgent element
was victorious. The reelection of
Barton to the school board without
n opposition practically vindicated
that body in it's dismissal of Principal
Best, who was summarily discharged
recently with two weeks notice, and
who has since attempted to exercise
the recall on the school board. The
license question was not brought into
vote. Both Kempker and Walker stood
on a platform OF strict enforcement of
the LIQUOR law.
