II used 20 be a pretty fairly safe
guess that the Democracy. left to it's
own devices. would make political
blundere enough TO furnish campaign
argument for the election OF Republi-
can candidates. In other words, the
Democracy could be trusted to do the
wrong thing at the right time. But
somehow or other the party is using
uncommon good sense about many
,S:ngs in congress Just now. and its
leaders are holding together with a
concert Of good will and united opin-
ion that does not suggest the old-time
Democracy at all. We may have to
win the election Of 1912 on our own
merits, after all.-Vermillion Republi-
can.

etc, they had a corn toast" and
doubtless their appetites were equal
to the fun they had, which we dare
say was considerable.
Miss Jessie Cole entertained at a
six o'clock dinner Friday in com
pliment t Miss Ethel Wakefield of
Lake Benton. Twelve young ladies
were present. This was a very pleas
ant function.
Gladys Callahan was pleasantly sur
prised by a party of nineteen of her
girl friends Friday afternoon in an
tlcipation of her tenth birthday which
will be Friday. They were daintily
served at a long table on the lawn.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. c. Neill entertained
a few friends at six o'clock dinner
last evening.

II is probable that no newspaper In
the state is today more free of en-
tangling political alliances than is
the Argus-Leader. This newspaper
has no political debts to pay, which
have not been paid long since. 1t is
out OF debt, and is financially indie
pendent. A controlling interest in
the paper is owned by the editor, and

II there is hard times in the state
II isn't apparent in Brookings. The
construction OF the 800, 900 court
house, the $4,000 city hall and the
new addition at the college besides
the private improvements going up
on every street, provide enough and
more labor for all of our citizens, as
well as a large crowd of strangers.
Other towns in the state are com
planning OF the poor crops. but not
Brookings. There is not a vacant
house in the city at the present time,
although a large number of new ones
were constructed this year.

While we are preparing for the
state fair We must not forget our
own county fair. For several years
We have had the best county fair in
the state. and 1t should be better
than ever this year. Several of the
county fairs have decided TO lay off
a year on account Of the poor crops,
but not B~rookings. Our fair will be
bigger and better than ever, for we
have the goods TO make II that way.

Another evidence of the value OF the
Commercial Club 10 the city was the
reception rendered 10 Mr.. Brictson
Monday evening. This is a duty that
the people of Bookings owed to Mr..
Brictson. but without a Commercial
club the affair would probably have
never been held. at least il would not
have been the large success that it was
under their direction.

HOW ABOUT IT. Mr.. M1LVAINE

The South Dakota state board OF
agriculture is urging the newspapers
10 insist upon South Dakotans al
tending the South Dakota state fair.
rather than some attraction outside
the state and is asking the CONNER.
cial clubs OF the state TO lend their
encouragement and support 10 the
state fair. The argument is that
South Dakotans should support their
home fair. and spend their money in
the state rather than outside. Ac.
compauying the requests for boost
ing, are long articles telling OF the
many attraction offered at the state
fair. which the newspapers are asked
TO publish free OF charge.
The newspapers, almost without eX-
ception, have complied willingly with
the requests for publicity and have
not only printed the boosting arti-
Giles sent them by Secretary Nell
vaine of the board but have urged
their readers, editorially. 20 see the
South Dakota state fair in prefer
ence 10 outside institutions. and 10
help make the exhibits worthy OF the
great agricultural and stock raising
state South Dakota has become, by
sending the best specimens of their
herds and fiocks and fields 10 Huron
for exhibition. The newspapers of
South Dakota are loyal TO the state;
they recognize the state fair as a
worthy institution. which should be
literally supported.
But when it comes TO reciprocity,
where do the papers find Mr.. Nell
vaine, who is so liberal with his re-
quests for free notices? The News
is informed that the fans which are
being distributed advertising the
South Dakota state fair bear the i'm
print Of an Iowa printing firm, al
though there are a half dozen South
Dakota printing firms that could have
supplied the advertising novelty. 1t
knows that in years past, and pre-
sumably this year, Mr.. McIlvaine, as
secretary of the board, has been in
the habit of sending large orders for
printed matter to concerns outside
the state, although there were any
number of firms inside the state that
could have executed the work just as
well and at reasonable prices.
How about it, Mr.. McIlvaine? How
large a proportion of the eXpendi-
lures of the state fair board for print
ed matter has been spent with South
Dakota printing houses this year
and of the amount so spent in South
Dakota, how large a proportion has
been expended with printing houses
that also print newspapers. COM
pared with the amount spent with
exclusive job printing establishments
that are in no shape to give the state
fair free publicity?
The newspapers of South Dakota
are willing and enthusiastic boosters
for the state fair, as they are for
every good thing in South Dakota,
but isn't it time people who are in
positions like that occupied by Mr..
McIlvaine recognize the fact that
without the newspaper publicity so
freely sought and so freely given the
money expended with outside con-
Germs or with exclusive job printing
establishments would have but little
effect in attracting crowds and en-
abling the state fair to pay expenses?
How about it, Mr.. McIlvaine? There
are occasions when reciprocity is a
most excellent thing. Why not tote
fair" with the newspapers?-Aber-
deem News.
