The Des Moines Capital believes
there is very deep feeling in the
state of Iowa against the city of Des
Moines 1t believes that this is
wrong and not only does injury to Des
Moines, which it holds is no more sell
fish than any other community in
Iowa, but that 1t does injury to the
whole state. zone thing that Iowa
cities should bear in mind,' says the
Capital, lis that there is too much
quarreling at home; too much unjust
criticism Of each other, and not
enough thinking or effort to settle big
problems and to fight against the real
enemy-the competition Of other cities
and other states. California and Can
ada in an agricultural sense are our
enemies The manufacturing centers
of the east in an Industrial sense are
our enemies. There must be a new
public spirit in this state, moro
friendly estimate of every other man.,
If Iowa is to progress or even main
tain it's own"
If, as the Capital says, there is too
much selfishness and too much jeal-
ousy in Iowa towns. the Des Moines
papers should do their share to create
better feeling, by occasionally saying
something good about the other towns
in the state.

a WONDERFUL COUNTRY.

The New York World INDUCES in q
clever bit Of irony in answer to a
speaker at "a recent meeting held to
uplift and denature the comic supple
ment who said he had found that
editors do not really know what the
people want" This, says the World
requires no proof. The newer stand
ards OF reform and criticism have
shown that nobody in this country
knows anything about the matters that
he is paid to know about. The World
continues:
The current literature of progress
has sconclusively demonstrated that
railroad managers know little or
nothing about managing railroads;
that doctors know nothing about doc
toring; that writer's cannot write; that
educators cannot educate; that farmers
are Ignorant Of farming; that legis-
lators have never grasped the first
principles Of legislation; that bricklay-
ers cannot lay brick; that judges do
not and cannot administer Justice;
that administrators are mostly desti-
tute, OF administrative skill; that
theatrical managers know little about
the stage: that women cannot keep
house; that publishers are scarcely
more than half-witted in their selec-
Of books to- publish; that lawyers
no longer know law; that architects
cannot design buildings; that fathers
and mothers are unfit to bring up
children, and that somebody else
knows more about everything than
everybody wise.
Wa arc a wonderful people. the,
World adds. and this is a wonderful
country. Think of all the advance
ment we have made. in. spite Of the
fact that every American citizen seems
to be engaged in an occupation for
which he has neither talent nor
capacity.

A RUBBAGE BURNER.

The Waterloo Reporter makes an
excellent suggestion. It Is that Iowa
cities should adopt the rubbage burner
and receptacle for. ashes used in some
Of the western cities. The small bee
hived shaped structures that appear in
the back yards of the city residences
in Denver and Colorado Springs arouse
the curiosity of the visitor. They are
used not only for the purpose Of burn
ing rubbish and dry garbage, but for
the care of ashes. The high winds
make it dangerous to burn these
things in the open, and ashes scattered
around loose in yards are not toler-
ated.
This idea the Reporter believes to
be an excellent one, and the Courier
heartily concurs. These outside rub
bish furnaces can be made neatly and
at small expense Of concrete or brick,
will keep the yard clean and provide
q safe place for the burning of all &C.
foundations of paper, dead grass, etc.
1t removes the danger of the open bon
fire, and permits satisfactory method
Of cleaning up premises and keeping
them clean.
& These ASH pits or ruDDlsn furnaces
are built usually at the alley line, a
small door at the bottom on the alley
side permitting the shoveling out Of
the ashes when the pits are full. This
door also serves to furnish draft for
the burning Of rubbish. II q few o.
tumwa people would introduce this
system of caring for rubbish and ashes
it is certain their neighbors would
soon follow suit, and this would pave
the way for general. introduction OF
this back yard improvement in ~
tumWa.

SAFETY IN THE MINES.

DR.. Joseph A. Holmes, head Of the
United States bureau of mines, has
outlined some measures designed for
preventing a REPETITION Of mine &C
cidents such as recently occurred in
Pennsylvania and Alabama. DR..
Holmes declares that the mine fires
such as those at Cherry, ILL.,, in 1909,
with It's 262 lives lost, and at the Pan
coast colliery at Throop, which cost
seyenty-three lives could easily have
been extinguished If promptly attended
to. DR.. Holmes advises that the
shafts, stables and engine room, when
under ground, should be OF fireproof
construction. II combustible materials
must be stored in the mines, there
should be ample water supply, together
with fire fighting apparatus.
He believes that only such explo-
shyes should be used in mines as are
least likely to ignite after gas or dust.
He favors a system Of electric firing
tb be used at time when all the
miners are out Of the mine. Another
precautionary measure he favors is
restricting the amount Of explosives
KEPT In mines. He would limit the
Quantity to the amount needed for
ohe day's work. He would not permit
the powder and the detanators or caps
I'd be carried into the mine together,
nbr would he have them kept in the
{. line over night, as dampness might
hange their quality. He adds that
lie safest plan to prevent dust ex-
losion is to wet the coal dust through
bt the whole mine, but If this is i'm
facticable a thorough wetting of any
hrt in bituminous coal mine les.
Lns the danger of explosion. He sug-
lists that satisfactory manner of
bling this Is to turn the exhaust steam
lom the mine power plant into the
+ line along with the air current. This.
lethod he declares is effective with
1t being costly.

EIGHT O'CLOCK CLOSING.

During the recess of the state legis-
lature speculation is rife as to the
probable fate Of the daylight saloon
measure, which. is n Of the most i'm
portant matters now before the legis-
lature, says a Sioux Falls dispatch.
The easu is patterned somewhat
all saloons in the state be closed at s
O'Clock each evening during the week.
Although an emergency clause has
been attached to the measure in the
house, il by no means is certain that
even II it passes the emergency
clause win be retained. In some quar-
tiers II Is fully believed it will be inn
possible TO secure the votes in the
house necessary to pass the measure
with the emergency clause attached.
The object of having the emergency
clause attached is to prevent the law
being held up and submitted to the
voters under the referendum amend
ment to the state constitution.
Whether or not the measure a pass
the state senate with or without an
emergency clause is a matter of dis.
pute.
In view of the introduction of such
a measure in the legislature, specu.
lation also is rife rs to whether or not
the temperance forces of the state
will concentrate their efforts IN this
measure, and be satisfied to go no fur.
Their, or whether they will, ever if the
measure is adopted by the legislature,
at the next election submit a prohibi'
ton law to the voters Of the state, as
1t has been strongly intimated will be
the case.
At the past two general elections
county option laws submitted by the
temperance forces were defeated by
large majorities, the majority against
such a proposed law at the election
last November being much larger than
two years before. indicating that the
majority of the voters of South Da'
kota are satisfied with The high license
system, and with the present state
liquor license law, which Is one Of the
most stringent Of its kind in the Unit
ed States.
Many thousands Of voters who have
no use for the saloons because they
are total ab~stainers are opposed to
county option or prohibition. and IA

EARLY RESIDENT DIES.

Mrs. Philip Lawrence, mother of
Aubrey Lawrence, a former prominent
attorney of this city, and herself an
early resident OF Brookings, passed
away at the family home at Huron
last Friday morning, after an illness
extending over eight months. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence were pioneer residents
Of %Brookings, coming here in the early
eighties, and they were among the
founders OF the VI. +. church, the first
church organization in the city. In
later years Mrs. Lawrence was a fire.
Quent visitor at the home of her son,
and had many friends here who will
learn of her death with deep regret.
Monday the remains were taken to
Mineral Point, Wis, for burial.
From the Huronite we get the fol
lowing facts of her life:
Mrs. Lawrence was born on August
%, 1S41, at Patterson, n. j., and at the
time of her death was 60 years and
about 4 months of age. She moved
early in life to Mineral Point, Wis,
which was also Mr.. Lawrence's home,
and here her girlhood was spent. Mr..
and Mrs. Lawrence moved to South
Dakota t~hirty-one years ago, this state
having been their home continuously
during that period. They have lived
in Bookings, Arlington, DeSmet and
Huron, the time of their residence in
the last named town having been nine
years.
During her early womanhood she
was a very successful teacher in the
public schools of Mineral Point, and at
the time of her marriage identified
herself with the Methodist Episcopal
church Of that city, which has been
her church even since then. She was
interested in the w. r. c.. in this state
and at one time was department sec
ertary of the order. She was also a
DioluliSlL IdSIGIh quar- WOIhtI anu
attended every grand chapter as long
as her health permitted. She was ever
deeply interested in her church and
the ladies' aid society, and a consist
ent Christian woman.
"Her life has been one long, beauti-
full experience. Her last days, and
particularly her last hours, were full
of Christian hope and of a comfort
which signified reliance in God and a
readiness to die. Her presence in her
home, in her church and in the com
munity itself will be more missed
than Is easily said and many warm
friends will extend to Mr.. Lawrence
at this time their deepest and most
heartfelt sympathy and condolences.
Mrs. Lawrence is survived by her
husband, Philip Lawrence, a Vol and
daughter. Mr.. and Mrs. Aubrey Law

Editor Sem Of the Deadwood Tele-
gram is engaged In a warm battle

and although he has suffered the loss
Of the greater part OF his advertising
patronage, he is making a winning fight.
Some time ago the Telegram insisted
that the saloons, dance halls and
gambling rooms conform with the clos

rctaliated by organizing a boycott on
all business places that advertised in
the paper. This had its effect on the
weakened business men, but not on
Mr.. Sem, and he now proposes to

decency the Telegram will have the

Brookings, S. d.
Dear Editor:-I thought | woul
write you of our trip through the
Black Hills to Lead. The first import
ant city we reached in nearing the
Hills was Rapid City, the Gate City
of the Black Hills" 1t is a beautiful
city of five or six thousand inhabit-
ants.
Leaving Rapid City, we follow the
foot hills past Black Hawk, Piedmont,
Tilford and Sturgis. Near Sturgis is
Fort Meade, which is a regimental
post of twelve troops of cavalry. A
few miles further along the foot hills
brings us to Whitewood, a beautiful
little village located or a plateau
which is sheltered on the west by
pine covered hills, making a pictur-
esque little village. Here the c. &
NV. railway branches off to Lead
City. After the engine is coaled and
watered, it is enforced by another
engine and the double header starts
off climbing the mountain sides for a
few miles, and then enters a long
tunnel through the mountain, coming
out on Whitewood Gulch or Red Greek.
The water in this creek is colOred
from the tailings from the many stamp
mills located nea Lead City.
Continuing up this romantic gulch
a few miles we arrived at Deadwood.
To our surprise We found instead, as
we supposed, a tough western town, a
beautiful city of some eight thousand
refined, intelligent and progressive
people, with large brick and stone
buildings, one of which is a govern
ment building costing a good many
thousand dollars, the best of schools
and many churches, and the Sisters
est. Joseph hospital, the best in the
middle west; large stocks Of goods and
fine store buildings, Commercial club
composed of brilliant business men.
This is the county seat of Lawrence
county, having a beautiful modern
ter for the northern hills, having
many daily trains to different parts of
the Hills. This is also the commercial
confer of the Hills.
Continuing up the gulch we came to
Blacktail Station. The next two miles
gave us much picturesque and beauti-
full scenery as we wound around the
mountain side overlooking the deep
canOns below where are located the
smelters and large reduction works
which reduces the ore from many
mines. Suddenly we came out of a
deep cut overlooking one of the great
Homestake cyanide plants. In a few
moments we went by three of the
mammoth stamp mills and owe the
Homestake mine proper, the largest
gold mine in the world. Just as the
whistle blew we passed over a viaduct
directly above one railroad and below
another, making a tier of three deep
and then we came into the beautiful
c.. G NV. depot at Lead. Alighting
from the train we went to u hotel,
where the host and hostess, assisted
by the Boosters club, soon made us
feel at home.
Lead is a beautiful city of II 900
inhabitants, situated in a valley be-
tween the mountains, being the sec,
