CFrom Our Washington Correspondent)
The house post office appropriation
bill brought out some great big ques-
tons in relation to the responsibility
of the government to the people. and
the discussion covered extremely
broad principles extending all the way
from proposals for good roads to the
price that should be allowed mail mes
sengers for their lunches. In refer
ence to the latter subject OF mans eX-
istence, Representative Focht of Penn
sylvania, resisted allowing fifteen
cents to railway mail clerks for
lunches. The Pennsylvania remark
ed that this amount might "go a long
way in the light-lunch business, but
men who worked as laboriously and
faithfully as these men do" needed
something more substantial than
could be bought for so niggardly a
price.

the course of a strong speech, told his

HAS GIVEN SATISFACTION

No one ever connected With South
Dakota public service from United
States senator to any ordinary APP
pointiye Office under the state admin
istration has given more universal
satisfaction to all classes of citizens
irrespective Of party than Congress
man Chas. II. Burke. Mr.. Burke has
been one of the few men out Of near
" 400 in each session of congress
who has always remained on the job
and always been present when any
eas of Importance has been up
for vote or final disposition. 1t is a
noteworthy fact that Mr.. Burke has
frequently sacrificed his own inter
est politically and personally to at
tend to the public business OF the ma
ton and South Dakota in particular.
The fact that we have such n repre-
sentative in congress has made it a
prominent feature in South Dakota
political annals. There eve was a
public servant but what some one
would oppose and ct this time there
are a couple of individuals running
for congressman in opposition to Mr..
Burke for the nomination in June,
but it is undoubtedly a fact that Mr..
Burke will continue to show an in
creased popularity when the votes are
counted in June.

Without fear of contradiction we
say that Gertrude S.edman has proven
the best superintendent of schools
that Bookings county has had in
twenty-seven years. She has been
faithful to her trust in every sense of
the term, ever laboring for the up
building of the many schools and the
cause of education in general. She
has visited more schools and oftener
than any of her predecessors and has
won the respect and good will of the
teachers in that she has graciously
and cheerfully helped them in their
often unappreciated tasks. Miss Sted'
man is on for reelection and her sup
port will be unanimous in the primar'
les and at the polls in November

ACTING GOVERNOR
 BOOSTS HOME COUNTY

Little Rock, Dec. 6.-Acting Cover nor w, c. Rogers is doing as much to boost Howard and Pike counties and all southeast Arkansas, during his va cation in the governors office, as he is in directing the destinies of the great state. When he is not talking enthus- iastically with visitors of the Arkan- sas diamond fields, he is preaching the value of diversified farming as prac- ticed in that section of the state, and winding up with a whole lot of praise for the peach orchards of the Nash vile vicinity.
 According to the acting governor, the orchards which are looked after by Bert Johnson, between Highland and Nashville, netted the owners last season only 90 per cent on their in- vestment Had it not been that S1OO,- 900 worth of fruit was lost on account of inability to get pickers, Acting Governor Rogers states the company would have made over 100 per cent on their investment.
 In addition to the wonderful profit on the fruit shipped out, the company canned over 4,OOO,O0O cans of peaches which were too ripe to ship. The profit on this fruit will be enormous, as only the cost of canning can be
 onsdered, as had the fruit not been canned it would have been an abso- lute loss and would have routed under the trees.
