SEEKING FEDERAL AID

The latest move of the Northwest
Development League is to ask the
federal government to collect, pub
lish in different languages and dis
tribute to foreigners as soon as they
arrive on our shores, all the informa-
tion possible about the states having
vacant lands, about their products
and the opportunities awaiting a fam
lily willing to work and having only
small means.
To accomplish this the League is
backing bill introduced in the Unit
ed States Senate by Senator Brown of
Nebraska, which amends the act to
regulate the admission of aliens into
the United States and makes it obli-
gatory on the part of the General I'M
migration Commissioner to give this
information to foreigners when they
are admitted to the United States.
The League is asking Congressman
Pray of Montana to push the bill in
the house and to introduce one max
ing an appropriation to carry out the
provisions of the act.

LEADERS TO MEET IN PIERRE

Indications from all parts of South
Dakota point to large attendance of
democrats at the state conference
which has been called by "Dick"
Lyon, chairman OF the democratic
state central committee, to be hold
Wednesday of next week at Pierre.
Democrats for the last two weeks
have been meeting in county caucuses
and selecting delegates to the Pierre
conference, and all the delegates will
be chosen by the end of this week.
The question of whether the demo.
Gratis of South Dakota shall give their
indorsen ont to any particular candi-
date for the presidential nominxtion,
and whether they shall send an in.
structed delegation to the Baltimore
convention, will be discussed and
probably decided at this meeting.
1t is said the conference will be at
tended by representatives of Gov.
Woodrow and Wilson Speaker Champ
Clark.
Thus far only three persons have
been mentioned as candidates for
election as delegates from South Da.
kota to the democratic national con.
vention. They are George Z. Kirk
of Charles Mix county; w. A. Lynch
of Huron, and Jerry Ryan, of Ell
Point, former sheriff of Union coun.
ty. 1t is probably the democrats o
the Rosebud country will bring for
ward F. M. Ziebach, mayor OF Dalla,
and one of the wheelhorses Of demo
cracy of the territory and state, fo
election as one Of the delegates to tn,

GULL TO STAY IN THE RACE

LOOMS S. Gull. register of the Land
Office at Rapid City. has been an ac-
tive candidate for the republican
nomination for governor since early
last fall. 1t was stated that he would
resign his position in order that he
might make thorough canvass. But
the resignation did not take place.
This caused sundry and divers news
papers. not friendly to Mr.. Cults
candidacy, to insinuate that he knew
q good thing when he saw it and was
not going to let loose of the bird in
hand while chasing the other in the
bush.
The Rapid City Journal in Sunday 's
issue, makes the following statement
relative to Mr.. Cull's action and in.
tention:
Register Loomis S. Gull made an
other move on the political checker
board of South Dakota, when simuit-
aneously with his answer to Lieuten-
ant Governor Byrne he sent to Presi-
dent Taft his resignation as register
in the land office.
President Taft should have receiv-
ed the resignation yesterday, and it
is expected that the new appointment
will be forthcoming within a few days
1t seems conceded here that John
l.. Burke will be Mr.. CULTS succe ssor.
He was his predecessor and gave up
the position two years ago on account
of i'll health.
By this move Gull removes any
possibility of another candidate from
the Hills entering the gubernatorial
fight against him. From now on he
will meet Candidate Byrne on the
stump and it is said that he has dates
enough to fill his entire time until the
June primaries. -

THEY MOVE THE WORLD

There will be two centenary ami
versaries this year that will command
more than passing attention. Each
of the persons, whose achievements
we will commemorate marked pivot
al point in our civilization, for which
we shall ever be their grateful debtor.
One was an American and the other
. Britain. Both were writer's and re-
formers who struck fearlessly ct the
evils of their time and made the world
better for their having lived. To
Americans the name of Harriet
Beecher Stowe, author of .Uncle
Tom 8 Cabin" will stand for centnr-
les to come as one Of the moving for
ces in our native literature. While
not comparable perhaps in the ele-
gance of it's diction or rhetorical
style to the works Of some other
American authors. the inherent pow-
er of this homely story of a poor slave
had an appeal to our Imagination and
sympathy excited by no book pub
lished before or since. 1t crystalized
the abolition sentiment in the north
and gave impetus to the movement
which made inevitable the emancipa.
tion Of the black man.
While Charles Dickens. the other
writer, whose anniversary we csle-
brate, wrote more '.best sellers" than
did Mrs. Stowe, no one work Of his
commanded the worldwide attention
or caused such political upheaval as
"Uncle Toms Cabin" provoked. Yet
in his own field Dickens was as pow
erful an instrument for good and did
much to improve the condition of the
masses of the United Kingdom.

A GOOD CROP YEAR.

If the usual rule holds good the year
1912 will be a great crop year. A cold
winter, with plenty of snow, seems to
increase the fertility of the soil and ap-
pears to insure normal climatic condi-
tions throughout the crop growing
period. There's money for the central
west in the cold and snow which so
many of US grow weary of after a two
or three weeks siege. What the
storms of winter do to the air and soil
of South Dakota probabably atones a
million times over for the discomfort
and extra cost. At least there is som e
consolation in thinking SO, anyway.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.

Huron Huronite: AS the closing fun
tion of the editors of South Dakota at
Yankton last week there came feast
which was not all gastronomic. There
was some good reasoning in it.
Q. M. Day, editor of the Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader, uttered belief that the
patronage system in connection with
the state institutions should be abolish
ed-that all state institutions should be
freed from the encroachment of poll
tics.
By few of the newspapers of the
state this reform has been advocated
for many years. but the argument has
not found general favorable response.
But at Yankton the assembled editors
applauded the idea and Mr.. Day promis-
ed to support it in his newspaper.
Thus some seed was sown that
promises future vigorous growth and
incalculable benefit to the public in
stitutions of the state.
Especially have the important edu-
cational institutions been hampered in
their work and development through
the application of party had factional
requirements to all candidates for po-
sitions within them, to all persons hold
ing positions within them.
The state has been liberal in the
creation of its institutions and in their
support. Yet they have not attained
the high rank that time and generous
Expenditure should have given them.
The first test of competency has peer
the political preference of the manager
of the subordinate, and then, perhaps
his qualifications have been considered
But qualification without loyalty to th'
party in power has placed few mel
in the institutions, or in subordinate
positions.
i If the state will respond to the sug
gestions voiced by Mr.. Day at Yank
ton, twill abolish the patronage system
that has encouraged capability and will
install the merit system, the public in
stitutions will speedily attain the highe
1 plans of usefulness and will become /;
credit to the commonwealth.

PATRIOTISM OF JUDGE GULL

In the news columns of this issue viii i
be found proposition submitted by,
Judge Loomis S. Gull, republican can
didate for governor, to FrankM Byrne. &
also republican candidate for poyer-
nor. 55
No one who has even slight 90
quaintance with Judge Gull viii doubt
the sincerity and good faith Of the offer
made to Mr.. Byrae, nor will any one
question the courage and patriotism
back of the offer. 1t SO much like the
manly man we have known and admir-
ed for the past twenty years.
Judge Cull's own knowledge 81 the
situation throughout the state conyin-
ces him that he has stronger and
more positive support than either OF
the three other candidates, and this
conviction is strengthened by the as
surances of his friends and supporters
throughout the state, therefore, the
offer to Mr.. Byrne was not suggested by
any fear OF the result at the primaries.
Mr.. Byrne has been loudly proclaim.
ing over the state that If Egan should
be nominated, the candinaey of Judge
Gull would be responsible for it, and
that such result would be calamity to
the state. Now: if Mr.. Byrne is sim.
cere and has patriotism enough In his.
makeup to sacrifice his ambitions to
save the state from dire calamity,
let him accept the proposition Of Judge
Gull. He has no more claim upon the
republican nomination than has Judge
Gull, in fact, not SO much, for he has
held state office two years and has not
done anything to prove himself worthy
of promotion or continuance in office.
There are very many republicans in
the state who prefer Egan is Byrne.
they say, and very justly so, that
Byrne is weaker man than even the
present governor, hence nothing but
the weakest kind OF an administration
can be expected. We know that Egan
has ability, which If properly directed
must bring results. We are tired of
cheap governors, we want man who
can and will do hings.-Deadwood
