Gov. Vessey has, on recommends
tion of the state pardon board, grant
ed a pardon to Louis Montgomery,
sent from Harding county on charge
of aTsou.
Every county fair that has been
held in the state so far has been a
big success. This is controversy
proof that South Dakota is highly
prospering.
Geese have already appeared. few
llocks having recently been seeing fly.
ing in this vicinity. There has also
been a small supply Of cranes to en-
tice the nimrods.
Another trouble with this good
government OF ours is that high oifi-
cials are nearly all from the aristro-
cratic classes and many of them have
lost the common mans point of view.
1t appearsto be universally conced-
ed now that the latest attempt to re-
vive the hoopskirt has also failed, 1t
does seem that things are not going
this year altogether as the steel trade
would have them.
The September auto record showed
2as new eaGs purchased in the state,
bringing the total registration num-
Der up to II, ,104. The October record
starts off we'll, and if kept up will
equal September.
The attention of subscribers is
again called to the postal regulation
that requires neWsppa nerss to eat cut Off c e
all subscribers that are in arrears.
The subscription must be paid
promptly under this ruling.
Congress will convene in Decem-
ber for the long session. 1t will be
as long as the men can afford to stay.
Some time must be devoted to the
campaign at short range, for the men
have duty to themselves and fami-
lies, as we'll as to the country.
One OF the great railway systems
has declared against the hobble skirt
and the high heel, which may be all
right. But let us give credit where
it is due. 1t required the introduce
ton OF the hobble skirt to call popu-
lar attention to the high street car
step nuisance.
Labor organizations all over the
country are commencing to create
funds for caring for their unemploy-
ed, as many men are being thrown
out Of work and it is essential that
none within the organizations shall
suffer. TO date the railroad service
seems to be the hardest hit by de-

The New Jersey democratic state
convention did not endorse Woodrow
Wilson for president, because the
latter insisted it would not be proper
under peculiar New Jersey state
law. But the delegates, as indiyidu
ais, will doubtless not be restrained
from letting their preference be
known.
The little lad who delighted thous-
ands OF people at the recent state fair
fell with his aeroplane at Pacific
coast festival and was crushed to
death. To the people who saw him
at Huron nothing has brought home
in SO vivid degree as this the uncer-

Over that portion of the west that
is afflicted by the widespread rail-
road strike, federal authorities are
preparing to institute contempt pro-
ceedings against strikers that dis
obey the sweeping injunctions that
have emerged from the federal courts.
The country is likely to be given an

When three or four comets with
heads several million miles in dame
ter and tails several million miles in
length can be seen shooting through
space at distance of several million
miles from one another, it really

and Nj. Ely to make an ascent in
