Turn OF the Business Tide

The Boston news bureau q thoroughly
well informed financial agency, highly
esteemed in Wall street, announces en-
phatically that a turn in the business
tide of the country, which has been
ebbing 80 long, has at last certainly
come, in the face Of the political situa-
tion.
1t feels that no detrimental tariff leg
isla,ion can be passed over Taft IS veto,
that Roosevelt has no real chance for
the nomination against Taft, and the
latter once nominated the business in
terests of the Nation will have to see
that he is elected, unless conserv ative
like Harmon, is put up against him, in
which case business will he safe which
ever way the result may turn.
This view, widely held, eliminates the
political obstacle to business revival,
while all other conditions are favorable.
The crop outlook was never better at
this season. Plenty of moisture frozen
in the soil makes general crop failure
most unlikely.
Industrial activity began to revive at
the East several months ago. Later it
began in the South. Now it is setting in
in the West, which was last to feel the
effects of the 1907 panic, and is last to
show recovery.
This steadily increasing recuperation
of languid industries cannot possibly be
spasmodic squirt. 1t has come to stay.

When the new Commercial Club oi
Iroquois met one day this week to COM
plete its organization, very unusual
incident happened. The pastors of the
Methodist and Congregational churches
were present, and after joining the Club,
each pastor in behalf of his church,
presented the Club with package con-
tanning 500 in crisp new bills with the
compliments of their respective church
organizations. The business men were
taken aback, and after extending a
unanimous vote of thanks accepted an
invitation to attend church in body at
some future time when the sermon will
deal with questions affecting the best
moral welfare of Iroquois. This is a
unique movement in the way of town
building. The Iroquois Commercial
Club is evidently headed toward sue,

FOUR YEAR LIMIT.

Full four years and no more is the al
loted time to South Dakota Office holders
under the Constitution, as construed by
the department of the attorney general.
The question comes up from MinGehaha
county, where the present holder of the
Office of Register of Deeds was appointed
to serve part Of term by appoint
nent, and then was elected, and it was
asked if he was eligible to a Second
elective term" 1t appears that the off,
Ger in question served one year and four
months 10y appointment, and is holding
two years by election and his rights as a
possible candidate in the next campaign
are at issue. 1t is held that there is
nothing to prevent his becoming a CAN
didate or qualifying if elected, but at the
end Of eight months the Office will be-
come vacant by constitutional limitation,
and that any official act attempted to be
performed by such individual from and
after that time will he void and without
legal standing. This is based on the
constitutional provision which makes th g
Limitation four years, and does not in
any way mention 'terms" of office.

THE HYGIENIST.

A new order of health magazine, pub
lished in Denver, which seeks to place
the public in touch with the why's and
wherefores of health and ill-health and
to tell them how to. avoid the forms of
ills suffered by the present generation.
The day has passed when the people
are satisfied to remain in ignorance OF
the cause of impaired health and it has
begun to dawn on them that the body
is subject to certain definite physical
laws, which when continuously violat.
ed, bring about a punishment as GER
tain, or even more certain, than will a
continued infraction of the laws of any
municipality.
The Hygienist is the follower of no
school and its only fad is common
sense" 1t shows when people may get
we'll under any or every sort of treat
ment providing such treatment does not
obstruct sufficiently the working of the
simple laws of the greatest Of all physi-
clans, Mature" and it makes plain,
these laws, for the guidance of its read
ers.
The wonderful growth in one year Of
the circulation of this advocate of sim
pie, clean living is conclusive proof of it's
popularity among thinking people.
The editor of the Hygienist is DR.. R.
R. Daniels, of Denver, the well-known
specialist in dietetics and hygiene,
whose successful work along the lines
advocated, makes him recognized au.
thority on the subject of which he writes.
The publisher is Myron G. Brownell,
formerly the Manager Of the Mining

ANEWsPAPER OF QUALITY.

There is no question as to the leading
newspaper in this section of the North
West. 1t is the Sioux City Journal. 1t

satisfy any reader. There is nothing
yellow about The Journal. Its news can
be relied upon. Especial attention is
given to the market page containing the
gossip and prices of grain, stocks and
produce, including the Elgin butter and
cream market. This feature alone
makes The Journal invaluable to farm
ers and stockmen.

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

Seven presidential headquarters in the
National capital are busy night and day
supplying publicity for their respective
candidates. Even aspirants for the
highest Office in the gift of the people
find that it pays to advertise.
OF course it does. There is no way
to reach the people except through the
newspapers, and the typewriters in the
various offices are working overtime
supplying material to impress the public
mind.
And the publicity which these candi.
dates openly seek is the helpful agent
needed by every merchant who hat
goods to sell. Washington Herald.

handle drugs, medicines or poisons, in
this State, under the provisions of exist

of country stores to handle Paris Green,

nation of noxious bugs damaging farm
crops, and many of them also handle
patent medicines. But with such a
ruling the country store cannot carry
such lines unless registered pharma-
cist is employed,

ARGYLE AGATES.
BY BOOSTER.

Argyle, March 20, 1912.
Still it SHOWS every other day.
The sick have pretty much all re-
covered.
Mrs. F. X. Barnes spent Sunday with
her sister, Mrs. Cooper, of Mayo.
Bertha, the daughter of D. w. Robin
son, has been unable to attend school
for about week.
S. W. Bond was attending the teach
ers examination at Custer the last three
days Of last week.
l.. q. Lockwood, missionary for the
American Sunday School Union, visited
both Sunday Schools, giving an address
to each.
No school at the Page school house
the last half of last week. The teacher,
Mrs. Barnes, was attending the examin-
alton at Custer.
Mckinley Shirley met painful acci.
dent Thursday. While playing he fell
from a work bench and sprained his
ankle so badly that he is unable to
walk.
We wonder why the Burlington rail.
road company, who cannot help but
realize the need of homesteaders, refuse
to employ them as section men in place
of importing foreigners, upon their sys-
tenn. Today there are thousands of good
resident American citizens who are al
most begging for chance to labor for
the beggarly pittance they offer in lieu
of wages. Men who are willing to pay
transport charges on all things sent into
the country for them; men whose inter
ests should be the railroads interests,
because they are developing the re.
sources of country upon which the rail.
road depends for their business. II
seems that a simple economic sense oi
justice would dictate policy of reel.
procity with the citizens of any commu.
nifty through which their system runs.

Will BRYAN
ACCEPT A
CABINET SEAT
MAY have EYES ON 1916
If So Would Prefer to Stay
Clear Of Office

Washington, Nov. 13.-The prema-
ture cabinet makers, who always make
it point to decide just who'll make
up a new presidents official family
before he himself has had time to de-
eide, have named William Jennings
Bryan secretary of state under the
Wilson administration.
In taking this important step they
have not consulted Mr., Bryan, neither
have they conferred with Mr.. Wilson.
They have evolved the appointment
out of their inner consciousness.
1t is likely, however, before March
next Messrs. Wilson and Bryan win
both have something to say about the
matter. Mr. Wilson no doubt feels
very grateful to the Commoner for all
that the latter has done to land him in
the white house. But he knows very
we'll that Mr. Bryan in fighting for
Wilson's election was not working for
political preferement Bryan made his
great fight for Wilson because he be-
lieved the New Jersey governor to be
better fitted than any other candidate
for the presidency.
Governor Wilson is not at all likely
to be swayed by a sense of gratitude
in making cabinet selections. If he be-
| lieves Mr. Bryan to be the ablest dem
ocrat in the country for the job he will
ask him to become secretary of state;
otherwise, the Nebraskan will not be
asked.
Even should Mr.. Wilson invite Bry-
an to a seat in the cabinet, it would
not necessarily follow that the Com
moner would accept it. Mr.. Bryan
still has his eye on the white house
He would like to be the Democratic
standard bearer in 1916 Were he a
member of the cabinet, could he ask
for the nomination in 1916 if Mr.. Will
son felt that he would like another
term?
If it turns out that the political
dopsters are right and Mr.. Bryan re-
ally does become secretary of state he
will have immediate charge of foreign
affairs. He has travelled in many lands
He understands pretty thoroughly con-
ditions abroad. Among other things
he would strive for international peace
ent administration policy of dollar
diplomacy"

TEN MILLION
STAMPS WERE
COLLECTED
ON A VERY FOOLISH THEORY
Vast Mass is Sold to Get Rid
Of Them

New York, Nov 13.-In ten thousand
packages of one thousand each Mrs.
Charles H. Parkhurst wife of the Rev.
Dr. Parkhurst of the Madison Square
Presbyterian church sold to Joseph f.
Negreen ten million United States and
foreign stamps recently at a
price-sorry philatelists-that was not
diyulged. The bundles represented a
collection of thirty years and the
stamps date from 1869, although ma
jority of them are of the Columbia EX-
position issue of 1928.
The sale of the stamps disclosed the
story of Mrs. Parkhurst's efforts to
have a Chinese boy educated at an
American institution.
According to Dr. Parkhursts secre-
tary, it was advertised years ago that
for million cancelled stamps free tu-
itiOn would be given a Chinese boy or
girl Mrs. Parkhurst, attracted by the
proposition, with other women began
to collect cancelled stamps, but after
they reached the desired million mark
they could find no institution that
would exchange them for anybody $
tuition, so Mrs Parkhurst had the col
lection for herself.
The collecting habit had her by that
time and she continued to save until a
few years ago. The stamps We're safe
in the cellar of the former Parkhurst
home at No. 1873 East Thirty-fifth St,
and gave no trouble until the Park,
bursts, because of Mrs, Parkhursts
health, moved to the Ansonia, whel,
the collection was found to be very
much in the way and DR.. Parkhurst
ordered his secretary to dispose OF
them.
/ Looking at his purchase from a sta
tisticians viewpoint, Negreen discover
ed that if the ten millions were placed
in row they would reach from New
York to Pittsburg, or about five hun
dred miles, long measure.
Giving each stamp a two cent value
they at one time represented some
100000, and if one person started tc
lick them and put them on envelopes
it would take him-well figure it Out
for yourself. Negreen hasn't figured
just what he is going to do with the
stamps, but feels that they will b>
worth something if only as paper.
