Attorneys Keep One Eye
Open.

Ambitious attorneys in both the
northern and southern parts of the
state are keeping a close watch on
the progress of the bill to create
the new eleventh and twelfth judic-
ial circuits, and are ready to spring
their endorsements on Governor
Vessey as soon as they are certain
that the bill will go through the
senate, as the house has already
passed it. While the bill is yet in
the air some of them are modest
about getting endorsements sent in
but others are banking on contin-
gent endorsements to help them
get running start ahead of those
who are waiting. AS the bill car
ries an emergency" clause, there
will not be any great delay in the
selection of appointees to fill the
places. The emergency is declared
to be necessary to keep up the
business of the two new circuits
which is dragging on account Of
the fact that the new counties
which are tied to circuits which ex-
listed under old time conditions
have developed so much new bust
ness that the judges cannot any
where near keep up business COM
ing along with the increased terri
tory and population.---Pierre Cap

Congratulations From The
Vanquished.

Mobridge and Isabel papers
came out last week and admitted
that it is now dehnately decided
that the u. S. land office will come
to Timber Lake. Not only that,
they congratulate us. The Isabel
News says:
We congratulate our sister
town on her success. We are glad
to see the office come onto the
reservation as it means the saving
of much money to the homestead
ers and what money SO saved will
be spent in Isabel and other towns
here. The News has maintained
from the first that it should come
across the river and though it was
hoped that it would come to Isabel
yet we rejoice with our neighbor in
their good fortune and congratu-
late the homesteaders on the re-
suit"
The Mobridge News saws: I'VE
sure gave the other towns a lively
chase while it lasted, for a contest
wherein Mobridge takes a hand
means that there will be something
to run up against, but our city has
so much to be proud of in the way
of advantages that her people can
afford to take things philosophical
ly. We take great pleasure in ex-
tending congratulations to Timber
Lake."
We thank these worthy contem-
poraries for their congratulations.
We think both take a position
which is worthy of the highest
praise. We hasten to assure these
papers and all our readers that
Timber Lake regards the land Of
flee as a Reservation and not a
Timber Lake institution by any
means. Everything will be done
to treat the stranger within ou1
gates as Our special guest.

For The Public Good.

One hears a good deal about the
power of the press, but the fact is
that no newspaper has very much
real power over men or events in
these days unless it is known to be
standing sanely and steadfastly for
the welfare of the whole communi-
ty and nation. The day of party
organs is past. Sensational pa
pers appealing to popular passions
cannot move thoughtful men---the
men who make history. The only
kind of newspaper that really has
tremendous power in these days is
the independent. reliable, disinter-
ested journal of wide circulation,
whose columns are known to stand
always for the general good---for
public honesty and square deal,
whatever happens. An excellent
example of this sort of journalism
is the Chicago Record-Herald. 1t
has. the enormous circulation that
deservedly goes with the printing
of all news, but its power lies in
its wise. conservative, Independent
editorial policy. which is shaped
with one sole end in view---the
public good. It's news and critical
columns show the same spirit. 1t
is an ideal paper for the home.
