HEARST ON BRYAN.

Chicago Examiner: Mr.. William j.
Bryan of Nebraska has been in the
east for a fortnight. He left Washing
ton Sunday night for the South with
the statement that he would remain
in the South all winter.
While in the East Mr.. Bryan man
aged to project himself, as usual, into
the political limelight, and, as he has
Invariably done for the las, four
years, to project himself as a
shadow of discord and division in the
ranks of the democratic party, to
which he Processes allegiance.
1t is scarcely two weeks since
Woodrow Wilson was elected to the
democratic party as president of the
Onited States. The democratic party
has three times tried and failed to
elect Mr.. Bryan as president.
This is Mr.. Bryan's first visit to the
East since the election, and the re-
suit of this first visit has been TO fill
the democratic atmosphere. just now
so wholesome and hopeful, with sug-
gestions of division and wrangle and
conflicting ambitions
Whatever M. Bryan has openly
said or not said, he has conferred
freely with his friends, and it is from
these frlends, who always echo his
sentiments, that the gossip and COM
ment came that will raise a shadow
upon the Wilson administration be-
fore it has begun to live.
That is like Bryan to the letter.
The newspapers are quoting Bry-
ans friends as talking it put that
Bryan has always been and always
will be the real leader of the demo-
cratic party.
This information will doubtless
come with healing and with cheer to
Governor Wilson when he reads it in
the Bermudas.
Also, it is exploited with a positive
ness of statement which suggests au-
thority that Mr.. Bryan has been Of
fered and has declined the portfolio
of State in the Wilson cabinet. That
he is not willing to put himself under
obligations to President Wilson,; that
he believes Wilson to be a theorist,
inimical to the politicians and, there
fore, not likely to be a success as
president; that he prefers to hold
himself rather as a critic. friendly to
the Wilson regime if it suits him, but
critical-in the same beautiful way,
perhaps, that he was critical to
Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood
in congress. Further whispers come
on the eve of the Bryan southwark
fitting that Mr.. Bryan was allowed
to ride rough shod over the Baltimore
convention because of the hint. some
whence distributed, that if he was
tn warted he would join the progress

under Wilson does not go to suit the
real leader of the party the real
leader will do to the democratic

MAKING

Pierre, S. D.-S. A. Wood, of this
city has been II looking after The
situation on his irrigated farm tract
near Capa, in which be is interested
with his brother, j.. b. Wood. He re
ports a lot of attention being given
to the matter OF irrigation in tina
vicinity. Beside the Wood tract.
which has 81 acres under ditch
Charles Swanson is ready to irrigatc
% acres; John Jaitz, 30 acres; Louis
Streeb 25 acres. and George Sheldon
30 acres. These total 1871 acres which
have the bitches completed and ready
for the placing of water on the land.
and most of them are taking advant-
age OF the fine fail weather to tho
roughly soak the land under ditch
before the winter freeze comes. They
are pumping from Bad river and
keeping the water flowing in their
bitches. While these plans are only
beginning TO develop, the ultimate ex-
tent of the combined tracts being 500
acres, the men who are starting the
work are enthusiastic, as all of them
tried out practical irrigation to a
small extent the past summer. The
land is principally being seeded to
alfalfa, but considerable corn was
raised for putting away in the silos
prepared on the farm. The work OF
irrigation along the Bad river valley
is being pushed to such an extent that
the whole OF that valley will show as
IL of the garden spots of the state
within a few years, instead of the UNI
promising outlook which has prevail
ed for ears.

SHOWER FOR BRIDE.

OF honor at a china shower given by
Miss Media Evans at her home S21
Fourth avenue west Wednesday ev-
ening. About sixteen young ladies
We're present. The evening was spent
in a delightful manner with music

The prizes We're awarded to Miss
Laura Kielmyr and Mrs. Leonard
Wick. The gifts We're presented to
Miss Herman by little Ruth Evans
and in the undoing of the various
packages there was much amusement.
The rooms We're prettily decorated
with hearts and cupids and red and
white carnations. The hostess served
a dainty course luncheon at the close
of the evening.

THE SINGLE s1x-YEAR TERM.

Newspapers and public men are
devoting quite a little attention to the
suggestion that the president of the
United States be elected for a term of
six years and be denied a second
term. This was proposed in the demo-
cratic national platform, but, SO far
as The Republican recalls, was not
Endorsed by Governor Wilson In any
Of his speeches. At a dinner In New
York last Saturday, President Taft
committed himself to the change.
and. as the Chicago Record-Herald
points out, the statement cannot be
called a+political one, in view of the
presidents prospective retirement
from the political field. A number of
the prominent newspapers have de-
clared for the change, while others
r undecided or hostile toward the
idea.
The advocates of the single term
hold the opinion that it would add to
the independence of the president
and also insure his devotion to the
interests of the whole public. This
certainly would be true providing the
right man were elected. But what
II he should happen to be the wrong
sort! Would his administration not
be more defiant of public sentiment
when a second term is not avail
able?
While'it is true that our presidents

AS pointed out by Mr.. Hitchcock,
the trouble with the states colleges
and universities is found in the
amount Of duplication In their work.
versity and the school of mines there
are a number of courses offered in
more than one school. The four nor
mails are entirely too many for the
state, especially when it is consider
ed that Iowa has only one normal.
This has caused the various uormals
to attempt TO enlarge upon their
courses and bring about still more
duplication. The towns in which these
schools are located are ready at all
times to support any scheme for en-
81 vi litii otOIt. Nv
local members of the legislature are
representing, not the interests OF
the state, but the desire of their To-
larger. Thus the various institution
counties get together in the legisla-
ture and session after session prac-
tice a game of grab upon the state.
For, by combining their forces they
obtain a block of votes powerful
enough in most cases to carry the
day.
Mr.. Hitchcock would do away with
this evil by providing a fixed tax for
the states educational institutions,
and allowing the regents to apportion
the money in such a way as to de-
velop the very best at the least ex-
pense. AS it is now the future of
these schools often becomes a mere
political whim. Under the plan sug-
gested by Regent Hitchcock, the
money used in their support would
Je III of the reach both of politicians
md of greedy local interests. By all
ean the system should be changed
in some way.
Further, Regent Hitchcock would
eliminate the Implications in the state
of mines, so that each would have it's
own field exclusively. Then each
could specialize most successfully up
on its own departments and the three
would be co-ordinated into one really
great university, Notwithstanding sec
tons OF it would be located in differ
ent towns.
Not only is Regent Hitchcock right
but he is so entirely right that The
Republican is willing to risk the pre-
diction that never, never, will the
states schools become either as eff
cient as they should be, or as eco
nomically administered as they
should be, until the evils that Mr..
Hitchcock is attacking are abolish
ed.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
GIVE THANKS.

1t is not necessarily tru that an
ungrateful man is the meanest man,
but We may be very sur that the
meanest man is ungrateful. 1t is quite
an Indispensable attribute to any one
who desires to represent all that is
undesirable.
Perhaps there is no more con-
temptible sin than that of ingrati-
tude. An ungrateful man is worse
than n who refuses to recognize his
promissory note, or violates his word
in a business transaction. Fol in a
case of that kind the one who suffers
has been actuated by a desire for gain.
But our gratitude is due those who
have given to us without receiving
in return. Therefore to refuse to
acknowledge the debt Is about the
depth of dishonor.
1t is a difficult matter for any of
us to enumerate all those to whom
we W our gratitude. For there are
many, very many, people in the world
who will and do do for us out of h
goodness of their hearts. The acco u.
.,4
mediation given us by a lmerchaut.
the solicitation for our interests ay
an employee, the kindness of a neigh
Dor. the Fellowship OF our frienas, the
devotion Of our 'children's instruct
ors, the service ind se%lf-sacrifice of
parents, the unfailing, eyer-present
Love of the Father, all are bestowed
upon us without compensation or
thought of it. Indeed there is occas-
ion enough for at least one day OF
Thanksgiving in each year.
Not only is it pur duty to feel ana
express gratitude, but 1t in turn pays
US rich reward for 10 doing. For lno
law of love is such that, If We cease
10 give, we cease to receive. Is II
not true that among our friends az.
acQuaintances We esteem most OF d..
those who are ready with a kind ACT,
a CHEEKY word? And, is 1t not true
that our friendship and esteem for
all such constitute the richest sort of
q return for his investment In BROTH
erly love? If that is true with him,
then 1t will also be true with us. Lo..
ing most We will be loved the most.
Expressing the most Of gratitude, We
will find ourselves presently winning
the gratitude Of others.
The ledger of life is never really
balanced. Our debts must far exceed
our credits, however earnestly we
may strive. For whatever else we may
repay, we will not any of us say that
We have in any degree whatever earn
ed the gift of life itself. Nor can we
say that the care that notes the
sparrow's fall'is the product of any
thing less than Infinite Love.
