THE bill introduced by Sena-
tor Kenyon Of Iowa to prohibit
the shipment of liquor into "dry"
territory should pass. Until some
such measure becomes law "pro-
hibition" is worse than a farce,
and even under such a law prohi-
bition would continue as a farce
unless the government looked af-
ter the enforcement of the law
far better than the laws of the
state of Minnesota regulating the
saloon are looked after in any To-
cality in which we have ever been.
When the liquor industry and the
saloon is placed under government
control, as it is in Canada, and
when the laws governing such
traffic are adhered to as they are
in Canada, there will be an alb
sence of drunkenness and dissipa-
ton in this country which will do
more toward the cause of prohi-
bition than all the work of those
engaged in the warfare against
liquor could accomplish in ages.

DON'T GIVE A RAP
FOR YOUR ENEMIES

without: making enemies, says
Herbert Kaufman.
You can't hold a strong posi-
ton without strong opposition.
You won't seem right to any if
you don't seem wrong to many.
Viewpoints are not uniform.
Standards of morals and ethics,
means of livelihood, sources Of
happiness and prosperity vary
with individual habits Of mind
and life.
Men aren't ants. Humans
aren't born with standardizing
impulses and predestined ways of
working.
All minds, like thumb prints,
are original and unique.
There are a thousand grades
and types Of proficiency and INTEL
lect, untold variations of intelli-
gence. There isn't single soul
with whom you entirely agree on
every subject.
Even if you tried, it's impossi-
Die for you to accept every issue
and regard every situation in the
same light of reason as a fellow
creature.
SO how can you hope, even un-
der the most favorable auspices,
to have everybody like you or do
like you.
You must think for youself,
must respond to your own intui-
lions, you must reason your own
way ahead.
Your career can only be guided
by your own observations and con-
victions.
The greater your force of char
acter the more you will force 9TH
ers to demonstrate their differing
characteristics.
1t you are upright and just and
sane and clean and honorable it
isn't a matter of your own voli-
ton to gain the endorsement of
warped and cratic and mean and
criminal and brutal men.
You must stub your advancing
feet against jealousy and bigotry
and rascality. And the more de-
cldedly your progress the more
vehemently you will conflict with
those who dislike you:
You can't attain without pain
you can't secure your rights with.
out hundreds Of others thinking
you have interfered with their
rights. -
A useful ife'cannot be entirely
peaceful and care-free.
You must do your duty as you
see it.
Every earnest man in every
generation has paid the price OF
individuality.
You can't dodge.
The greater you are the greater
the penalty Of your progress. The
farther you 60 the wider you
range, the more you increase the
points of variance with which
you must reckon, and therefore,
you multiply your battles against
misconception and envy and ma
lice and SANDER.
You can't avoid or evade your
allotted destiny; you can only hold
down your share of trouble by
holding back.
In every sphere men gibe and
sneer; even the peace Of the ditch
digger is threatened by the unem-
ployed laborer who covets his lob.
So long as you aspire, others
will conspire; so long as you try,
others will vie.
You'll have hostility to face in
every place and at every pace.
Go straight on to your goal.
So long as your conscience ism t
ashamed to acknowledge you as a
friend, don't you give rap about
your enemies.

CHAIRMAN STANLEY of +

CHAIRMAN STANLEY, Of the
steel trust' investigating com
mittee, on Wednesday gave an
ultimatum to the trust magnates
that should bring the desired re-
suits. After stating that the com
mittee has been subjected to a
scientific and tantalizing system
Of delay' he says he has been uni
formly courteous to the steel trust
officials but they in turn have
either delayed the game or refus-
ed an examination of records by
the committee experts with the
result that he has decided the
committee issue supoenas for
what is wanted and says he twill
get it or know the reason why.'
mo man, woman or child
should live in any place where it
is impossible to possess an individ
ual plot OF ground. A garden is
one of the natural and inalienable
rights Of every human being. l
firmly believe that the way to
solve the pure food problem, the
congestion problem, the child
problem, the labor problem-not
to mention few others-is simply
to get back to the land,' asserts
DR.. Harvey W. Wiley. In line with
the idea promulgated by the Vir-
ginia Commercial Club of every
citizen having a garden spot the
coming season. Keep it in mind,
and be one of the many who will
profit thereby.

D. S. WALDO HONORED.

Tuesday afternoon, Past Grand
David Hale of Centennial Lodge No.
10 |. O. O. f. of this city, walked in.
to the Office of Mr.. Waldo, manager
OF the local telephone company, and
without ceremony pinned a Fifty
Year Veteran Odd Fellow Gold Jewel
on Mr.. Waldo's coat and as quietly
walked away. Mr.. Waldo was so sur
prised when he found out that Mr..
Hale had actually left something, at
first, thinking that David was play
ing upon him a joke. Monday night
the Odd Fellows held a meeting and
requested Mr.. Waldo to be there, but
other matters prevented, and the
lodge ceremonial of presentation was
spoiled, so Mr.. Hale did the mex best
thing.
The Jewel is about the size of a sill
YER dollar and beautifully enameled
and divided into sections, and in the
center in bold relief are the figures 80,
denoting that Mr.. Waldo had been a
member of the order for 80 years,
while, in fact he has been a member
since 1857, fffty-tive years next spring.
The back of this beautiful veteran
badge is handsomely engraved and
reads: I'D. S. Waldo, n. 6. Initiated
1857. Presented by Centennial Lodge
No. 10, Canton, S. D."
Few Odd Fellows in the state can
wear a so year veteran jewel and few
Odd Fellows in the state al match
his record for active and successful
lodge work. He enjoys lodge work TO-
day as much as any of the younger
men and Is always ready to 60 any.
where ito help the boys out" in de-
gree work or installations, in fact, we
believe he will yet wear a IS year vet
eran jewel.
Mr.. Waldo is Worry Of this honor
both as an Odd Fellow and as a citi-
zen. No Odd Fellow in the state is
better or more favorably known, and
no man in Canton and Lincoln coup
ty has more friends. The honor was
well bestowed and the LEADER con-
graduates Mr.. Waldo over his promi.
nence in the great benevolent organ
ization and for the high esteem en-
tertained for him him by his breth.
