THE WORLDS NEW ART CENTRE.

ITA NGLAND, like France and Italy, is worried over the steady
Ill leakage of its art treasures to the United States, and
both Premier Asquith and former Premier Balfour have
thought it worth while TO devote public utterances to the subject.
Even the National Gallery cannot add works of great value TO
its collection, for the British government allows ii only $4,000
a year for this purpose, which would not secure one frstclass
work of art against the bidding of the omniyorous American
plutocrat. Mr. Bafour is frankly pessimistic and sees no rem
edy. And there is none. America has the artistic hunger and
the money, and New York is bound to be the art centre of the
world. j. T. Morgan alone can take care of that.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The question of choice of a eader
for the Republican party as tne
nominee for President is, or COURSE
today the foremost question within
tbat marty. That William HoWaro
taft or Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
one or the other, will be selected at
tha convention opening in Chicago
Tuesday, June IS, there is naioiS "
doubt.
I wish briefly to give a Few reasoi'
whv I think it expedient that the re
nublican party select as It's stanuaio-
bearer Theodore Roosevelt: !.
First-Beeause he is the only one 81

T.ft will be defeated IL on the re

onnosing candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket may be.
Second-His record: Men may taiA

towns propose TO use every means to protect themselves, and
even the women, with an indignant sense of the Governors act,
are organizing for the defense. The State Board of Health, if
it performs a bounden duty, will veto the Imhoff system plan and
compel all the municipalities tributary to the Passaic sewer to
yod themselves OF their sewage by that innocuous means, in
ktead OF invading their %neighbors' territory to establish dam
aging nuisances. The only reason that can be urged for such a
course is the saving of money, a pitiful excuse for "A public

THE CANAL BILL IN PROPER SHAPE.

eTa o recognize a continuous United States coast line between
our Atlantic and Pacific ports by way of the Panama
Canal and to prevent transcontinental railroad control of
the domestic canal traffic are the principles of the canal bill as
reported to the Senate from committee yesterday. The policy of
making American coast-wise shipping tollfree is that of the
original House bill, and that of barring railroad monopoly was
added by the Senate. The bill in its present shape should be
sent TO the President without change.

But these repeated tragedies, shocking as they are, cannot be

PANIC STARTED BY A NEWSPAPER.

TaESTIFYING in the government suit TO dissolve the steel
trust, Oakley Thorne, president of the Trust Company
of America, said that the run in 1907, which, but for the
aid of the Morgan interests, would have wrecked the company,
was started by a false story in the New York Times questioning
it's stability. Such is the power of the press for evil when care,
lessness or malice or private interest is allowed to color its
statements.

" That they have not shot

stoned many, and a score OF cops
have felt their clubs, stones, ano III
some cases, knives,
The new story that the boy who
was shot was demonstrating WIN the

More About Branch Brook Rowdies'
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
In last evenings edition of Inc
Star Mr.. II. e. r. complains about
the rowdyism in Branch Brook PARK
| concur with Mr.. H. e. r. l think
something should be done to elm
mate this evil. Last Sunday evening
while walking through the park with
a adv friend the place appeared to
be oyerrun with rowdies, and the Lam
a they used was hardly mt for a
mans ear. They appeared to be
worse at the southern end of h park,
The reason Mr.. H. e. r.. never sees
any police at the park is that they
are busy holding hands with some
girl in q shady nook. They are fully
as bad If not worse than rowdies,
This is a matter the park commission
should take hold of. The park is there
for the enjoyment of the public at
large. especially for the women and
children during the day. The COM
mission should see that there are
s~ufrcient police to protect decent peo-
pie from insulting remarks from a
crowd OF dirty rowdies. F. A. ].

The Methodist Work

Mr.. Editor:-We bring you a few
items in connection with our work. Our
observation is that there is a general
improvement in interest and attend
ance upon church services.
There are many encouraging signs
scattered along the way, with once in
a while a d~iscordant note that sends a
pang through the pastors heart, but
that is what we are for, to endure all
things, hope all things, bear all things
good naturally. We must get used to
taking occasionally a bitter draught
and smiling over it.
The way our Epworth League is TAX
ing up the Young peoples work is
certainly gratifying to us older ones;
there is a large attendance and con-
stantly increasing interest. Once In a
while some new recruits are found who
come to our assistance and greatly
encourage our hearts and strengthen
our society.
Now that we are engaged in special
revival work, we trust our people will
loyalty rally to our assistance. In
union there is strength, while in divis-
ion there is weakness.
District Superintendent Hardness
made us a flying visit some time ago,
but bad roads and inclement weather
mace it impossible for many to meet
him and listen to his earnest and
uplifting m
We have had the usual share of work
upon our hands and have been called to
several weddings of late which show
that the people are beginning to love
one another.
The great educational convention
soon to onven here is arousing con
siderable interest and we trust that
everything may be done to constrain
our prospective guests to always have
a glad hand for Webster and her hos.
pitable people. May we ever live to help
somebody and as a certain poet has

Rooms and Board Wanted

On the 3rd, 4th and 5th of April the
Northern Educational Association OF
South Dakota will hold it's regular
annual meeting here in Webster, al
which meeting a large number are
expected to be present. If the attend
ance is as large as it generally is, il
will be impossible for the hotels and
restaurants to furnish them with rooms
and meals. In view of this fact the
Commercial club appointed the under
signed committee to ask the residents
of Webster to throw open their homes
and help care for the strangers that
will be with US at that time.
All persons that will be able to fur
nish either board or rooms will confer
a favor on the committee by notifying
either member of the committee by
phone or otherwise.
The Commercial club adopted the
following uniform charges for rooms:
not to exceed one dollar for a double
bed per night, regardless of whether
the same is occupied by n or two.
Citizens will please notify the com
mittee at their earliest convenience.

College For Webster

The opportunity to select public
officers will soon present itself again,
and the all-important duty in connec-
ton with this matter is to consider
carefully the character and qualifica-
tons of the candidates for the several
offices. The question arises: care
these men who can and will accomplish
some good or will they simply fill the
places and draw their salaries? Have
these parties wrought worthily for
themselves? If they have been fail
ures in their private life it is useless to
expect them to be of any service to the
public.
The most important question of the
present is the education of the young.
Our system of schools such as now in
use, is a great abundance of its kind,
but the most of the instruction is not
practical. What use or benefit is there
in studying and wasting valuable time
on subjects that never come up in prac-
teal life, and contribute nothing to the
daily needs of man? Our public schools
are essentially preparatory to the
higher schools, but when the fact
remains that onlv three per cent of the
pupils avail themselves of the higher
education, what shall the remaining
ninety-seven per cen do who stand
ready at the threshold of life's struggle
to enter upon the fight for existence?
What are they qualified for? Solicita-
tons to immigrate hither and thither
in search of the ''Eldorades" where
every desirable opportunity is promised
to such as will accept, have not much
charm for me. l believe more firmly
in each one making an honest effort to
bring about the greatest possible
reforms and to make the improvements
which shall render the greatest COM
fort and convenience to people in the
sphere of usefulness where they are
residing than to seek elsewhere for
happiness. Neither do | advocate
soliciting positions and Offices. AS a
general rule, the results are crumbs
of charity" My belief is implicit that
one ought to acquire his own independ-
ent position. The struggle for exist
ance at present as regerds both old
and young surely is a peculiar one.
Much book-knowledge has been held
out as a sure stepping-stone to greater
ease in earning a living, and many have
reaped literally along that line, but
multitudes are now seeking for easy
positions with big salaries without find
ing them. There is nothing in this
world that ~elevates and ennobles men
and women like honesty and industry
The foundation of this is the home and
practical schools.
Our greatest present need is a prac-
teal agricultural school. If South
Dakota shall continue to be a good
country, it will be necessary for US t.
keep pace with the times and adjust
our methods in harmony with the laws
of nature, and this must bring about a
new departure in future farming; but
how shall this be done when the old
men continue in the ''old rut" and the
young learn of the old? We have paid
taxes these many years for the benefit
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1912-03-21

of others, and supported other sta e
institutions and the time is now ripe
when it is our turn to get some benefit
in this portion of the state, and We
ought to elect such men to the legisia-
ture as are both capable of carrying
out our wishes and will execute as well
and for US to impress OF their minds
the Importance and need of securing
for us an agricultural college in this
part of the state as profitable farming
and progress is the foundation for our
existence and the maintenance of the
several branches of business.

The Word Umbrella.

The English word umbrella is very
like the Latin. coming through the
Italian '~'ombbrella." or little shade"
The French, German. Spanish and 9th
ers give 1t a distinctive name, such as
~''parapluie." ''regenschirm'' and para
guas." Umbrella" and 'parasop' are
etymologically precisely the same
thing, but custom has given them the
distinctions that we understand today.
