One of he most encouraging
features Of the better farming
movement which has gained such
Il fo0tnold III this progressive state
is the attitude Of the farmers upon
the subj ct. In too many profess
sions the workers seem to feel that
they know it all, that no il can
give them any information, that
the last word has been said rs to
how THEN work may be done and
the results that may be had. The
very great majority OF South Da
kCta farmers, however, r suifi
GENTLY brOadminded to know thai
in no line Of human endeayOr has
perfection been reached. That
science is constantly opening up
new methods and new possibilities
in every field of endeavor and that
the man who makes good in any
line is the man whose mind is open
to new facts and who is willing to
hear the other fellow and to adopt
whatever he sees will Ge useful and
helpful to him in his work.

Word comes from the money
marts and centers of industry that
hard times aren't knocking at the
door this year. In years gone by
a presidential election was apt to
disturb business conditions, but
the railroads this year are going
right on building extensions, the
building operations in all sections
OF the country are large in volume,
prices maintain a high level, crop
prospects are good, and everybody
is satisfied with present conditions
and optimistic regarding the future
indicating the American people
are not taking their politics so
seriously this year as in times past.

A Dakota Idea.

Charter Oak (Ia.) Times: In Da-
kota we found a new road law.
one conceived the idea that
if the road funds of the county
were all in n hand, where they
could be used as desired, then
something might be done. The
new law was pushed through the
legislature, c~ancelling the road
supervisors and putting everything
into the hands of the county board.
One bit of road we saw had cost
$4,000 a mile, and yet it was cheap
because it amounted to something.
1t was a permanent highway that
needed very few, if any, repairs
for a hundred years. That is the
way the roads of Iowa should be
handled. There is no sense in
spending all our money for repair
ing the roads we have. Let us
put some into a road that will stay.

In holding the state banking
law unconstitutional, Judge Will
lam Ct. Rice, of the circuit court,
put yer the prosecution OF the
indicted directors and officers of
the suspended Meade County Bank
at Sturgis until the supreme court
shall have passed upon the legality
of the measure. The bank closed
its doors the first of the year and
was taken in charge by State Bank
Examiner Wingfield, who is now
e%ndeavoring to strengthen out its
tangled affairs. Crop failures and
some bad loans were declared re-
sponsible for the banks condition
and in June the Meade county
grand jury returned six indict-
ments, charging the defendants
with receiving and asserting to the
reception of deposits, having had
knowledge that the bank was in.
solvent, and also for having per-
mitted and allowed the sharehol-
ders of the bank at one time to
borrow more than fifty per cent of
the capital stock.

The Cheap Operator Again.

Marshalltown Uowa) Times Re-
publican: The disastrous and
bloody wreck last Sunday which
occurred on the Burlington near
Chicago seems to have been caused
by a woman Opeator's misundtr-
standing of orders telephoned her.
From her own story she seems to
have been careless in the beginning
and to have been badly ratified when
she realized that a wreck was i'm
minent.
1t is likely that when the facts
are given out, if they are ever Civ
in out, that the woman operator
will be found to have very little
knowledge of railroading and is
simply a telephone operator. The
fact is that nine out of ten death
traps in which passengers are in
volved are set by the inefficiency
or carelessness of employees. 1t is
also true hal back of these ineffi-
cient employees is the anxiety to
cut down operating expenses.
The saving which results from
the employment of cheap and in
competent workers and involves
the lives of travellers is beyond ar
gument and excuse. OF late there
has been effort on the part of the
transportation companies toward
greater safety but it does not APP
pear to have been extended far
enough into the matter of efficien-
cy and competence of tower opera
tors. 1t is true that certain acct
dents befall which it seems no hui
man foresight could have avertaG
but these are mainly due to me.
chanical defects or breakages anC
these may be minimized by careful.
and competent inspection.
The cheap operator has cos
many lives. No person should, be
placed in so responsible a position
who is untitled by temperament ant
special training to guard the pub
lie safety.

The man who complains of hav-
ing a hard time getting some

Keep Your Credit Good.

All business is founded upon
confidence.
If a bank loses the confidence of
the people; if a department store
forfeits the esteem of its patrons;
if Il newspaper abuses a trust of
its readers; if an employer wrecks
the faith of his helpers, old Chro-
nos sharpens up his sickle and
whistles for the receiver.
The bank may be solvent, the de-
partment store may be well equip
ped, and the newspaper may be run
by an Apostle--but when conf
dence fees out then the sheriff
comes in.
The man whose word is as good
as his bond has an asset more val
liable than money. Many a man
can borrow a hundred dollars on
the security of ten callOus spots on
the inside on his hands. and none
on his conscience, Yet there are
big property owners in their wife's
name who can't negotiate the loan
of a toothpick this side of the Can
adam boundary line.
To have and deserve the conf
dence of friends and business ac-
Quaintaces is worth a Missouri
farm in any market and that is
going some.

Alfalfa should be cut when
about one-tenth in bloom. IL the
hay is to be used for horses the
cutting can be delayed two or three
days. Horses prefer a hay hat is
more matured, cattle and sheep
prefer the hay that is cut a little
before maturity. Some farmers
determine the time to cut alfalfa
by the new shoots. The shoots
appear, however, at the same as
the blossoms. Either method is
good.

T. R. ON LINCOLN.
He Had "a Prophetic Imagination"
 Says Roosevelt.

The following extracts are from the address delivered by Theodore Roose- welt at the laying of the cornerstone of Lincoln Memorial hal, at Lincola's vile, Ky, on Feb. F, 1909:
 Lincoln saw ipto the future with the. prophetic imagination usually vouchsafed only to the poet and the seer. He had in him all the lift to- ward greatness of the visionary with out any of the s'onary's fanatirisms Or egotism, without any of the vision ary's narrow jealousy of the practical tical fash 'on for, the realization of an ideal. He had the practical mans hard common sense and willingness to adapt means to ends; but there was in him none of that morbid growth of mind and soul which hlinds so many practical men to the higher things of life.
 "No more practical man ever lived than this honey backwoods ideaiist i; but he had nothing in common with those practical men whose conscionces are warped until they fail to distfn- guish hetween good and evil, fail to shrewdness, whether in the world of business or of politics, only serve to make their possessor a more nO~touS, more evil member of the commun- trol'ed by fine and high moral sense"
 "He. did not hate the man from whom he differed. Weakness was as foreign as wickedness to his strong, gentle nature; but his courage was of a qua ity so high that it needed no bolstering of dark passion. He saw clearly that the same hieh qualities, the same courage and willingness for self-sa crifice and devotion to the right as it was given them to see the right belonged both to the men of the North and to the men of the South.
 sAs the years roii by and as all of us, wherever we dwell, grow to feel an equal pride in the valor and self devotion alike of the men wFo wore the blue and the men who wore the gray, so this whole nation will grow to feel a peculiar sense of pride in the mightiest of the mighty men who mastered the mighty days. the lover of his country and of al' mankind, the man whose blood was shed for the union of his people and for the free- dom of a race-Abraham Lincoln."s
