We Do Progress

Ten years ago a resident of
Sioux City invested in an automo-
bile, the first to make its appear
ance within the confines of that
city. 1t was much more of a
curiosity at that time than any one
of the great numbsr of power
driven vehicles to be seen in the
monster automobile show that is
being held in Sioux City this week.
Yes, an automobile was very
much of a curiosity in any part of
the country ten years ago. Ten
years before that, in 1891, a
bicycle was new thing, on which
no one but the most venturesome
was willing TO take a chance. And
ten years hence airships will be as
commonly used for purposes of
pleasure and travel as autos are
today, or bicycles were ten years
ago. DO you believe that9 We
do.

Senator LaFollette has declared
against reciprocity with Canada,
as outlined in the treaty now before
the senate. Well, didn't the gentle
man from Wisconsin demand a
high tax on lumber under the
Payne tariff lawl Bob's home
state counts the lumber industry
as its long suit, the lumber mag
mates control the elections and Bob
has ambitions, which can only be
satisfied by the help of his wealthy
neighbors. Reciprocity with
Canada would hit the lumber lords
rather hard-hence the senator's S
stand. 1t sounds nice to denounce
this and that evil, but man shows
his calibre in what he does. Emer-
son is credited with saying, hat
you are Tor do) speaks so loud that
l cannot hear what you say" The
butter on LaFollette's bread is
thick and he is not blind or with
out the sense of taste, either.

The supreme court of the United
States has decided, after five years
of careful deliberation, that news
papers cannot trade advertising
space to the railroad companies
and take their pay in mileage books.
This action leads the Yankton
Herald to remark: Such a deci-
sion at this time is as heartless as
kicking a man who has already
been beaten into insensibility.
The newspapers have been paying
cash for transportation ever since
the law was passed prohibiting
such exchange and it is unkind to
now remind them of all the scenery
they have missed on that account" :"

Those farmers will surely fail
who pin their faith solely upon
increased rainfall as the country is
settled up, or who intend to follow
methods adapted to regions of
greater precipitation, or who have
no special intentions of any sort,
but are just staying! The margin
of weather conditions in favor OF
the careless and improvident is
very narrow where it rains less
than 20 inches; but the fellow who
works intelligently and consistent
ly, who carefully prepares his land
a long time ahead of planting time
so as to store up all the water, and
who grows crops we'll suited to
drouth conditions, is going to come
out in the lead. The man who
milks his cows and slops his pigs
and tends his garden will not fail.
The good farmer will attain a
greater measure of prosperity than
ever comes to the ordinary worker
in cities. The shiftless man will
always be thriftless, in country or
town

That Postal Deficit

In Canada the charge for carry
ing periodicals, including maga-
zines with heavy advertising Sec
lions, is four pounds for one cent,
one-fourth the charge in the states.
The Canadian postofiice department
is run at profit, ours is handled
at loss-and the Washington guy
with the brass collar says the low
rates at which the big magazines
are carried is responsible for the
deficit.
But anyone at all conversant
with the subject can tell the par
ticular item that causes the deficit,
for which the magazines are made
the goat. The government pays
the railroads Eve times as mach
for carrying the mails . given
distance Is do the express compan-
les If that doesn't entirely &C.

At a meeting of the state press
boysat Pierre in January
Governor Vessey said to them:
"You have been expected to adver-
tise the state. You have not been
paid for it. You have borne the
expense of all the advertising and
you have been liberal with it, and
the state owes you great deal. y
Then our friend, the governor,
gives his approval to each one of
many knocks the present legisla-
ture hands the newspaper boys.
But those fine words will go a long
ways with the members of the
fraternity.

The following from the Sioux
Falls journal is rather pessimistic
but still has considerable truth in
its lines:
Who is going to do the skilled
labor requiring the use of hands
and muscles, twenty years from
now9 Who will shoe the horses,
put the plastering on walls, mould
the sand for casting in foundries,
cut the paving blocks and stones
for buildings, lay the stone and
brick in walls, and perform other
functions requiring not only skill
but Drawn and sinew. America
isn't producing any more trades
men. True. an occasional young
man is encountered who has ambi-
ton to master one of the trades
here enumerated, and machinery
will go a long ways towards supply
ing some of the shortage of help.
But there will always be a demand
for mechanics in the trades abound
ing in hard labor and the young
men are passing up those trades by
reason of the labor. There will be
men in abundance to lay out the
lines, to figure the mechanical de-
tails, to keep the time and carry
the water. But somebody will be
required to put into execution what
the technical engineer has figured
out and that is where the future
will be up against it. Young men
cannot even be interested in learn
ing the trades not so strenuous.

No matter how deftly they can
roll a cigarette, or how many balls
they can pocket in q pool game or
how smoothly they can deal cards
from the bottom or middle of a
pack, they have no desire to be, q
jeweler, a printer, a marble cutter,
a baker, or candlestick maker.
They will accept a foremanship or
management of any great enter
prise. They would be willing to
go to Europe and buy goods for
our great mercantile establish
ments, but would not enter = rug
factory and learn the details Of
manufacture of rugs to make them
fitted as buyers of rugs. They
would not work in a mailing plant
and become expert in barley that
they might later be competent
buyers of that product of the soil.
They would accept the manage
ment of a great publication enter
prise but would not accept more
humble position for a series of
years in order to fit themselves for
such trust. They would take
charge of a horse shoeing establish
ment but under no circumstances
learn the trade that they might be
qualified to handle such a position
intellegently. The men who are
doing the trades of today are get
ting along in years and there are
no young fellows following in their
footsteps although there is a tre-
mendous demand for them. 1t
looks as if several trades would go
out of existence when the present
followers go to their respective re-
wards. Perhaps the future will
"let George do it,"

part east of the river, and south of
the line on the south of the coun-

of the state east of the river and
north of that line.
But the bill contains a provision
that until the state shall be given
three congressman that nomina-
tions and elections for congression-

same as prevails at the present
time.
House Bill 39s which was intro
duced by the elections committee
attempts to provide a means to
prevent members of one party TAX
ing part in the primaries of an
other party. 1t requires the elec-
tion officials at the primaries to be
provided with a party primary en-
rollment book, which shall be wide
enough to allow the names of all
parties to be written across the
same, rs: Republican, democrat,
prohibition, social, independent.
Under the heading of each party,

persons does hereby declare that
he is a member of the party
and Intends to vote for the nomi-
nees of such party at the following
November election. The members

Senate bill No. 265, introduced
by Senator Boylan, for the pur-
pose of placing the appointment
of the secretary of the Historical
society with the governor, thereby
putting the department under state
supervision, from the Golfers Of
which it draws its annual income,
amounting to about $1,000, failed
to pass the senate. The outcome
of the attempt to right the admin
istration of the Historical society
may be attributed to a softening
of the heart for the state historian.
He is reported to have said that he
would not have the Office if put
under the will of the administra-
tion, thereby making it a political
job.

Bonesteel, S. d., Feb. 28.-Pinned
to a sewing machine by the needle
having been d iven completely
through his finger, and compelled to
wait for the arrival Of assistance from
a neighboring house before he could
be released, was the experience of the
little son Of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Sebeste. The mother was temporar-
lily absent from home. While another
child set the machine in motion the
little boy attempted to sew. The
needle was driven through one of his
fingers, clogging the machine.

We subsidize the railroads by

on Thursday killed the Richards
primary bill. Mr.. Richards ap-
peared in the office of the secretary
of state and fled a petition contain
ing over 5000 signatures reques-
ing the legislature to submit the
bill to a vote of the people at the
next election. The filing of the
petitions follows the procedure
required by our statutes in initia-
ting a law.
The fight on the Office of the
state engineer has eliminated in a
resolution instructing the attorney
general to bring suit against
Samuel H. Lea, the state engineer
and his bondsmen to recover the
salary paid to him as superinten-
dent of construction of the state
capitol building, amounting to
$4,655, which he received in addi-
tion to bis salary as state engineer
of $4,000 a year. This action can
be brought under a provision of
the state laws to the effect that no
person can draw two salaries from
the state.
The bill to make the herd law
apply to all parts of the state, in
troduced in the senate by Wyman,
of Yankton, passed that depart
ment of the legislature Thursday,
the vote standing 33 to 5.
1t is safe bet that Representa-
tive Issenhuth will not again offer
a motion at a night session that the
clerk read bills for two hours and
no other business be transacted.
He did that Thursday night of last
week and the speaker called him
to the chair and the members left
one by one for home, giving the
clerk and Mr. Issenhuth full
possession of the house chamber.
The house passed joint resolu-
tion Friday memorializing congress
to outlaw" all express companies,
and to COMPEL railroads to carry
packages direct, without acting
through a separate company.
The senate passed the headlight
bill which came up from the house.
1t is subject to the referendum
where it will no doubt go for the
second time by action of the rail-
roads.
The apportionment committee
presented bill on congressional
apportlonment for the state. Up
to the present there is more or less
uncertainty as to whether the state
will be entitled to two or three
congressman after they have finally
ground out their congressional
apportionment act. AS the legisla-
ture of this state adjourns one day
before congress does, and the
chances are against knowing what
will be done until too late to act
here, the bill will provide for three

We frequently get inquiries
from former residents who have

how the development of the coun-
try is coming on. To such we
always have the same answer:-
the development would probably
have been more rapid if you had
stayed and done your share in the
work of making this into typical
farming country. However those
of us who are left, are reasonably
successful and the work of develop
ment is going on. Then we give
them a hint that they can in part
redeem themselves by selling out
to somebody with push and energy
enough to come out here and do
their own share of this great
pioneering. Davenport News.
