WORK OF IMMIGRATION BUREAU

An outline OF what his bureau is
doing for South Dakota was given by
John D.. Deets, chief Of the states
immigration department this week.
Commissioner Deets reports that
there is an influx of settlers into the
region between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills in western South Da-
kota, and that homestead entries in
the northwestern part Of the state are
increasing rapidly in number. The
better farming movement and Incl
dentally the back-to-the-farm move
ment is being aided by the state devel,
opment league, which has divided the
state into districts so the movement
can be pushed to the greatest degree
possible.
Two expert farmers now are an
ployed in the state to show what can
be done by modern scientific farming
methods-one by the commercial club
at Aberdeen and the other by the
Sioux Falls commercial club. Much
good is expected to result from these
experimental farms. The state also
has established experimental or de-
monstration farms at several points
in the state which are under the direc-
ton OF the State College.
The state immigration department
has succeeded in enlisting the aid Of
the United States government in an
experimental irrigation farm near
Fort Pierre, Stanley county. The de-
partment also has been sending out
literature which is designed to attract
summer tourists to the Black Hills,
which 1t is generally acknowledged Is
one of the most picturesque spots on
the American continent.
The department in July will issue a
book, giving typical views of scenes in
South Dakota and facts about the vari-
Gus resources of the state and the OPP
portunities that the state offers to
landseekers and others who are look
ing for new homes. The department
also is doing a valuable work in en-
couraging every county in the state
to have an exhibit at the state fair
at Huron in September, and farmers
are being urged by the department to
preserve their largest and best ex
hibits of this years products and send
them to the state fair.

South Dakota has just gone through
the process of graduating several
hundred young people from the col
leges of the state, UNCONVENTIONAL and
secular, and several thousand others
from the various high schools. The
state has every eas to feel proud
of the boys and girls it has turntd out
to face life's problems and fight life's
battles, and it is a source of gratifica-
ton to thoughtful South Dakotans
that SO many colleges and universe.
ties have sprung up in the state. The
small college may not secure the pat
ronage and attain the prestige the big
university enjoys, but it enables
many a young man or young woman
to acquire a collegiate education who
could not afford to go far away from
home to attend the more famed insti-
tutions.-Aberdeen News.

political effects of far greater import
than appears at first sight. In us
essentials. the campaign Of Mr.. Cur
tiss was based on a sweeping lndlct-
ment Of the local press as organized
graft, dead TO all public duty, and in
imical to the general welfare OF the
state. The indictment was a sweep
ing one, and a victory for CurtisS
would have been a full conviction by
a supposedly fair and enlightened
jury. The Independent in its feeble
way, made all the protest in its power.
We confess to having been somewhat
benumbed by the audacity and un-
fairness of the onslaught. Now that
the contest is over, we regard the re-
suit as a double victory for the press.
I'm the light of the trend of the general
vote we believe that had Curtiss left
the newspapers alone and gone into
the campaign with his tremendous
energy on national issues, he would
have been an easy winner. The time
was ripe. The conditions were all
favorable to his campaign. Burke,
sick and unable to take a hand, no
complete organization and not a
single stalwart meeting held in the
district, while men of national repute
were here to augment the hard cam
paign which Mr.. Curtiss put up-all
these things were in Mr.. Curtiss'
favor. While he may have been sin
cere and honest in his attack on the
press and in the many personal Trades
with which he assailed different local
publishers, we believe that was the
one thing which beat him out of the
nomination.-Groton Independent.

tain of woman protectiveness and leaps into mans domain she will then re-cnter the elevator called Time, and by her own hand send herself back to her former position and when she steps forward and says. the ballot Is mine. office is mine. V she then attempts to deprive man of his world work, deprives herself of that pro tectiveness that her nature requires, eff terminates mans position, in other words thwarts the purpose of her sex.
 Social conditions are not what they should be, all admit needed reforms. This cry that the psychological moment is here, has become a veritabe habit; "all the living hold together, and all yield to the same tremendous push" he cry Of the hour should have for its motto the Golden Rule and then this woman wall that is sweeping the country would not be attempted This woman cry is for better social conditions for the spinner and the burden bearer, and yet every day life is demonstrating more and more clear ly that this ideal cannot pe realized. Every day life shows that the woman who calls most loudly for the ballot in order that the spinner and the burden bearer may be protected IS the factor which brings about such conditions, the luxury of the age in which woman deals lavishly holds the spinner and the bur den bearer as a necessity, and the cast ing of the ballot will not overcome this condition Alas for the vanity of her hopes! Equal suffrage presents no end which seems attainable, presents no be- ginning which seems feasible; it will take long years of deliberate and positive proof to show that this. the most stupendous task woman has ever undertaken, can be accomplished, and should equal suffrage be given her, she will then, having gained her purpose cast the ballot according to the vote cast by the man who gives her that protection her woman nature re- quires and, after all, equal suffrage will mean:
 She is of so free, so kind so apt. so blessed a disposition. she holds it vice in her goodness not to do more than she Is requested
 So, the ballot that lis too fine a thing to let men control, and yet too vicious as it now stands to let continue will be two instead of one, numerically, and when the count is made. If there has been a difference between husband and wife, the vote is killed, and if there has been no difference, the ballot will be cast as she Is requested
