The publishers of the Press and Da-
kotan were not surprised last week when
they received the announcement from
the postmaster that the Government in.
spector had been here and told him that
If the local newspapers did not at once
comply with that regulation which says
that If papers are sent to subscribers who
are more than nine months in arrears it
shall be done at the risk of losing sec
opd-class mail privileges, and they were
likely to have the law enforced against
them. This means business for the Press
and Dakotan. 1t means that unless
those who have been our friends for
many years, and whom we consider as
absolutely good pay" send a sufficient
sum TO bring them within nine months
of this date, that we must either drop
them from the list or lose our second
class mail privileges and put one-cent
stamp ON every paper sent through the
mail.
1t is serious situation for there are a
number of our very best subscribers,
and best personal friends, whom we
would not think of urging in a matter of
this kind were it not absolutely neces-
sary because of the action which the

We have no choice in the matter. 1t

In MEMORIAM.

GEORGE w. BOND was born in New York
State, June Sd, lS4S, died at Custer,
So. Oak, April 20, 1911; being 81
years, 10 months and IL days old.
Mr.. Bond was made Master Mason
in De Ruyter Lodge No. 692, at De Ruy-
ter, N. Y. He affiliated with Custer City
Lodge No. 66, in 1884, or at the time of
its organization, being one Of the char.
ter members.
Before coming to the Hills, in 1883,
Mr.. Bond was engaged in the carpenter
trade. During his residence here he
has worked at his trade and that of farm
ing. For several years past he has been
in failing health and has been unable to
do much of any kind of work, having
made his home with his wife and two
sons, who, with one daughter, survive
him.
Sunday afternoon Rev. Powell deliv-
cred a short funeral discourse in the
Masonic Hall. The Brethren then con-
veyed the remains of their deceased
Brother to the cemetery and placed it
in the tomb, there to await the summons
of the Grand Master to the inner temple
in the Vale Beyond.

The Herd Law and the Referendul


At meeting of the Stock Growers
Association lately held at Rapid City, it
was decided to invoke the referendum
in the matter of the Herd Law passed
by the last legislature, and for that pur-
pose petitions have been gotten out. To
referend the law it will be necessary to
obtain about $500 signatures, and as
practically all of these will have to be
obtained from the counties affected by
the change, it will be necessary for those
who will be injured by the new law to
use every effort to obtain signers.
Whatever difference of opinion there
may be as to the advisability of Herd
Law for the country outside of the Hills,
there can be little room for doubt, that
within the Hills, where the lands sus-
ceptible of cultivation do not comprise
over tenth of the area which may be
profitably used for grazing, the Herd
Law would work hardship on the settlers
who wish to make their homes on the
land they occupy.
If this were a strictly farming coun-
try, and we could depend on having wet
seasons right along, the Herd Law might
be all right, but under the conditions
that have existed in the past and may
continue in the future, the few mares or
COWS that the settler has been able to
Craze outside of his fenced plow land,
have saved the homestead for many
man who otherwise would have had to
sell out for song when the dry years
struck him.

upon the subject of bear tracks and the
thoughtless jester was liable to get one
of the biggest fights on his hands that
he ever encountered, by being too in
quisitive regarding the various features
of bear hunting.
On looking at Johns moccasins after
ward one could readily perceive how
natural it was for him to have taken his
own track for that of anything but that
of human track and especially after
the snow had melted and enlarged it
somewhat. He had just made what he
was pleased to call a pair of moccasins
out of piece of ox-hide that he had
partially tanned with the hair on. The
hair side was out and when they be-
came wet, as they soon did in the damp
snow, there was no limit to their capac-
ity for stretching and there was no track
that would correspond to their peculiar
dimensions that he knew Of, unless it
was that of grizzly bear and he very
naturally supposed that it could be none
other. This was the first and last at
tempt at hunting by my partner, Johnny
Boyle, and his success was on a par
with that of most of the party in that
line.

PR0PAGATING STATE GAME.
Custer County Game Warden Suggests
Elk and Mountain Sheep.

The county game warden of Custer
county desires that portion of the fund
of the State game department which can
be used for the propagation of game in
the State be applied to securing herd
of Elk and herd of Mountain Sheep to
turn loose in the Black Hills. The Ma
tional Government is distributing Elk
whore they are desired, the cost being
about $40 head, the Government ask
ing that the States which are supplied
shall pay the expense of Grating and
shipping.
The only move up to the present
which looks toward restocking the State
with game is that for the distribution of
Chinese Pheasants, and the Black Hills
game wardens can see no reason why
larger game might not as well be secured
by the use of the surplus funds, as the
placing of game birds.-Sioux Falls

mony, to refute the charges and
affirmatiOns Of the president.
If President Thirkield can view
with complacency his action In
sending forth two young men into
the world discredited, merely on
the receipt by him of an anony-
nous letter, then the religion he
boasts Of is of a kind that is not
calculated to make men better.
1t is sad thing when the head
of an educational institution con-
siders it compatible with justice
and fairness to employ informers
to dog the footsteps of teachers
and professors, and to place reli-
ance in anonymous letters. The
unheard Of and unusually drastic
action of the head Of Howard
University we hope will not hurt
that institution, but it cannot help
but impair the usefulness of that
president in his present capacity.
The affair, the whole affair, view
ed from any angle, constitutes a
blot upon the present administra-
ton OF this institution. Let Thir-
held resign.

PRACTICE WHAT YOU
PREACH.

There has been lnaugurated IN
this city a campaign to increase
the wages Of the Government en-
plOyes. Kann & Co. and Chase's
Theater have subscribed $1,000
each to the campaign fund. There
are other big institutions that
have subscribed also. A large pub
lie meeting has been held, to
which thousands were invited and
did attend, and expressed them
selves IN favor of giving Govern
ment clerks more money.
Now, just think of it. There are
thousands of Government clerks
In this city who are receiving
from $3.50 to $4,000 per annum,
and saIesgirIs receiving only $3.50
to $40 per week. Drivers and
draymen receive from 81 to $40
per week, and the poor laboring
man from S1.50 to SL75 a day;
car conductors and mOtOrmen
from Sl.15 to - per day.
Now, why don't Kann & Co.
and Chase's Theater endeavor to
increase the wages of these en-
plOyes? Why do they want to fat
ten fat hogs? Why doesn't Kann
& Co. raise the wages of their
salesgirls and employees instead of
contributing $1,000 to the fund to
increase the wages of persons who
are not in need and who are re-
ceiving living wages? What of the
poor labOring men In the streets,
bitches, cutters and on the hill
sides, who are receiving only $1.50
per day? Why don't these patri-
Otic citizens begin their charity at
home?
A person should have living
wages, it is true, and those who
are mostly in need are those who
are doing the hardest work, and,
to large extent, have the biggest
families.

WAS PRES. THIRKIELD
SUSTAINED?

AT a meeting of trustees and
deans of Howard University Sat
urday night last the President of
the university was sustained in
the drastic action he took In dis
missing two young men. However,
the vote to sustain the president
was not an endorsement of his ac-
ton, for each and every one of the
trustees, it is reported, were of the
opinion that the action was too
drastic, and the method pursued
by the president questionable. In
fact the method he pursued
smacked of the methods In vogue
during the Spanish inquisition.
If President Thirkield can find
any comfort In the hearing Satur-
day night, and in the action of the
trustees, he must have an easily
satisfied conscience. Even the
deans were forced, in their testi-

A COLORED SERGEANT


The Bee is of the opinion that
1T would be a good act on the part
of the District Commissioners to
promote from among the many
competent cOlored officers on the
police force one to the position of
sergeant.
Certainly the acts of many de-
serve recognition by way of pro-
motion. There are colored ser
geants in many other cities in the
United States.
Among the officers from whom
Commissioner Johnston could
promote to a sergeant are Cal
houn, Lester, johnson, Jones. Pc
terson, Lotus, jackson, DR.. Car
roll and others, who have made
arrests of some of the most noted
of criminals In the annals of the
Police Department.
If Commissioner Johnston does
not know the records of these
men, let him ask the Superintend-
ent of Police. Many of the fore
going officers have arrested some
of the most notorious criminals in
this country.
Give us a colored sergeant.

THE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE.

The Bee begs leave to ask the
so-called cOlOred Democrats in
this city and throughout the cOun-
try what they think of the action
of the Democratic House of Rep
resentatives? The very first thing
the Democratic patronage COM
mittee of the House did was to
abolish $18O,OO0 in patronage.
Every colOred Republican has
been slated for dismissal, and the
only cOlored assistant stenOgra
pher to the Speaker, j. A. john
son, has been recommended for
dismissal. Now, whether the
Democratic House will confirm
the action Of the committee is a
question, but let us wait and see.
1t can be seen what the pol
icy of the Democratic party
is and will be if it gets
into power. Its policy is to
abolish as many offices as possible.
Mr.. McVeigh, the Secretary of
| the Treasury, is a Democrat, and
even under a Republican admin
istration his policy is to abolish
1.-THE offices. Just what comfort and
consolation it is to the people tC
lput the Democratic party In pow
er, The Bee doesn't know. The
Iparty's policy is to close up all the
mills, cause the poor to be made
lpOOrer by stopping the circula,
tion of money, raise the salaries
of those who are satisfied with II
and reduce the poor to want anC
starvation. If the Republican
| House had remained in power, the
lS180,00O that the Democrats viii
return to the Treasury yearly
would have been circulated among
the people. The Negroes in The
| House of Representatives wanted
a Democratic House. They have
lit, and now they must ''press
bricks for Walker" In New Yorl
the Negroes have organized &
colored Democratic club, called
the Hamilton Democratic Club
Of course, the Democratic party
in the city of New York recog
nizes the work of its party work
ers, hence the colored Democrat:
are cared for. Every colored maj
has been slated to go in the House
and probably a few so-called Ne
Igro Democrats may get spittooI

NATIONAL BAR ASSOCI-
ALTON

In every State in this country
where cOlOred lawyers may be
found there is a bar association.
Every poor person among colored
men In this country has a national
association except the lawyer. The
bar would suggest the propriety
of a national ASSOCIATION among
the colored lawyers in this coun-
try, to be held in this city some
time In August. Will the colored
lawyers throughout the country
consent to elect delegates to a ma
tional convention Of colored law
yers, to be held in this city some
time during the month of August?
The Bee believes that the city of
Washington is the best place to
hold the first convention of ma
tlOnal legal body.
If the suggestion of The Bee
meets with popular favor through
out the country, kindly send com
to this paper.

PRESIDENT THIRKIELD'S
DUTY.

Tolerance and breadth of con-
ceptiOn, supported by confidence
IN the true inner self of those un-
der him, is justly demanded of
heads of educational institutions.
There is SO much good in the
worst of us, and so much bad in
the best of u.s." that intolerance
and puritanical narrowness on the
part of the head of an educational
institution, which has the prepar-
ing of young men and women for
the battle of life, is a bane rather
than a blessing.
All the great institutions of
learning, and even the smaller
schools and colleges, now aim to
secure men for presidents who
can see on more than one side Of a
question; men who can appreciate
the fundamentals without exag-
gerating the trife varying to the
right or left. If a school or col
lege is to be controlled by discip-
inary methods and rules as Sc
we're and as vigorously enforced
as the discipline for armies in
time of war, then that school or
college so controlled Will have its
sphere encOmpassed in failure, for
the initiative and ambition will be
sacrificed.
1t is almost incOnceivable in
these days of sane tolerance and
Iiberality of thought and action,
that the head of an educational
institution would take action
which may have a tendency to dis
courage rather than encourage.
And when you inject the germ of
discouragement into youth or
young manhood you plant the
seed of spoilation.
There can be and ought to be
discipline in an educational insti-
tuition, but there should never be
persecution. There can be and
ought to be : standard of morals,
but that standard should never be
fixed by a narrow, IntOlerant big
OF. There should be punishment
of crime or Otfense, but that pun
ishment should fit the crime or of
fense, rather than make a crime
or Offense fit a punishment pre-
scribed by one whose intolerance
is akin to the intolerance of our
puritanical fOrebears, who fire.
quently decreed death when life
should have been decreed instead.
It would he well for the presi-
dent of Howard University to
open memOry's casket and take
therefrOm his young manhood
days; days when he was full of
life, of hope and spirits. Let him
turn back the pages of his life till
he comes to the page of young
manhood, and then recall that
commandment which he, as an or
dained minister, loves to instil
into others: ''Do unto others as
you would that men should dc
unto YOU" 1t is President Thir,
held's duty to improve life, not tt
make life worse. It is his duty tt
give hope, not to destroy hope.
The Washington bee., 1911-04-08

The Republican party may
have, at times, been derelict in its
duty to the colored voter, and may
have failed to give the race just
recognition; that no one denies.
But the Republican party has
never been guilty of making
wholesale dismissals of colored
employees. The Democratic party
alone holds the record, and it is
proud of its record.
