Roberts Visits Yankton

One afternoon and evening of the
time allotted for the press meeting
was devoted to a visit to the hospital
and a thorough inspection was made of
that institution. Few people in South
Dakota realize what a wonderful insti-
tuticn the state has at Yankton, all
brought about by the excellent work of
DR.. Mead. A more complete set of
buildings cannot be found any where in
the United States and they have all
been built upon plans made by DIR,
Mead and under his personal super
vision. The new women's building,
which cost a trife over $50, 900, could
not have been built under contract for
double that amount. DR.. Mead has
saved the state more than his salary
would amount to if he stayed there
during the remaining years of his life.
Eight hundred patients are cared for
and it is done in a manner which
reflects credit upon the management.
The afternoon spent at the hospital
was very much appreciated by the
visiting editors and it is safe to say
that no matter who is elected at the
head of the state organization that he
better not try to change the manage
ment at Yankton. Pierre Dakotan.

brated on the occasion of the opening
of the dams of the Khalig canal, there
by causing the flooding Of the land for
cultivation purposes. The ceremony
takes place In August, when the Nile
reaches its highest level, and is really
q thanksgiving service. According to
tradition, the old time Egyptians had a
custom Of casting q young virgin gayly
dressed into the. river as a sacrifice to
the gods. but at the present time the
offering takes the more humane form
OF a dummy. A procession of deco

The swastika.

The origin and history Of the curious
charm known as the swastika have
been exclusively described by DR.. t.
Carr, an English antiquarian. He
claims that the origin of the swastika
dates back to pre-Christlan days. In
vestigation has led him to believe that
it was originally the symbol Of polar
star worship and that 1t was the most
ancient and widely distributed symbol
that had ever existed. 1t has been
found In Chaldea, among the ruins of
the earlier cities Of Troy, in Egypt, on
the prehistoric relics Of Greece, on Hit
tite remains, on prehistoric American
Indian mounds, In South America, on
Buddhist remains In India, on Roman
affairs, on Runic crosses in Great Brit
ain, in Coptic churches Of the tenth
century and on English brasses Of the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
1t Is still used in India, Tibet, China,
Korea and Japan as a sign of long life,
good wishes and good fortune; it Is
also used by the Lapps and the Firms.

PURLICITY

The Congregational Record for January
4th carries in full the speech Senator
Crawford delivered at Miller, S. d., on
October 20, 1911, in opposition to the
so called Richards primary bill The
Speech was repeated in the United
States Senate. 1t crept into the Record
By senatorial courtesy, after Senator
Crawford had created a brief introduc-
ton for it by referring to the proposals
to adopt presidential primaries now
pending in the senate. Having thus
demonstrated the alleged pertainency
of the Miller speech to national issues,
the South Dakota senator did not ask
his colleagues to listen to it. All he
asked was UNANIMOUS consent to give
the document circulation through the
medium of the Congregational Record.
Senatorial courtesy preventing any
objection to this proposal, the speech
sever pages of Invent into the Rec
ord. Any senator who undertook to
read it must have discovered that it
related to a purely local issue in South
Dakota, that it represented an attack
upon a primary plan which has been
proposed nowhere else in the United
States except in South Dakota, and
that it probably cannot be read with
understanding anywhere outside Of
South Dakota.
Senator Crawford's action IN loading
the Congressional Record with the full
text of his Reply to Richards is
being most severely criticised in South
Dakota. The senator's critics say that
his only object in inducing Uncle
Sam to print the speech in his official
organ was to secure free of charge, for
free d~itribution through the mails of
South Dakota a campaign document
to aid his candidacy for denomination.
In view of the circumstances it will be
difficult for the senators friends to
refute this criticism.
Assuming that the South Dakota
criticism is based on fact Senator
Crawford will not have to apologize to
the senate for usingits publicity bureau
to distribute what amounts to a pri-
vate campaign document. Such a
course is by no means unprecedented in
either house of congress. Other poll
ticians have done the same thing, and
have not been called to account for it.
1t is, nevertheless, "old work" and it
does not harmonic at all with the high
ideals of a progressive age. 1t is
doubtful if many of the senator's pro-
gressive supporters in South Dakota
would care to defend a policy which in
effect makes the taxpayers of the
United States unwittingly contributors
to the Crawford campaign fund.-The
