Would Change Tax system.

Mr.. Gull discussed at considerable
length the matter of taxes, and tho
method of leyying the same. He
said that there are hundreds of tax
assessors in the state, each one en-
ploying his own method of assessing
tayable property. He showed that
his was an injustice to property
owners, because each property owner
lid not always get the same treat
ment that the others received. The
advice given the assessors by county
commissioners was not always fol-
lowed by the assessors, and
times unjust discrimination was
shown in the assessment of proper
~. He thou"ht there should be a
uniform method of assessment, and
offered the suggestion of the assess
ment being operated from the state
capital. This would do away with
he assessment being made by a man
living in the same community. Mr..
Gull favored the adoption of a state
vide system of roadways in order
hat cross country roads could be
Quilt up and maintained; the rails
sing Of the minimum price of state
lands to fifty dollars per acre;
avoiding as far as possible any leg
islation which necessarily hampers
legitimate business enterprises, and
to this end a discontinuance of the
incessant legislation against rail
roads, necessitating the expenditure
of large sums of money TO procure
legal talent to uphold the laws, and
provide Il pie counter for the APP
pointment of officials.
Mr.. Cults address was received
without much demonstration on the
part of the audience, but they gave
him close attention as he presented
the subject matter of his platform.

Washington Springs. S. D.-Sey-
eral propositions for the ~reorgan'za-
ton and %reopening OF the Iiender-
son State bank of this place, which
was closed some weeks ago through
inability to realize on loans overdue,
have been considered by the officials
of the state banking department dur
ing the past week or ten days but
have resulted unsuccessfully, and un-
less arrangements can at once be
made for the reorganization of the
bank a receiver will be appointed. If
it is necessary, some such action will
be taken early this Week.
A statement issued by the state
bank department as to the condition
of the affairs of .he bank show that
the assets amount to $%S6,600.O2, con-
sisting of oyer $4,000 in loans and
discounts about $4,000 in warrants
and ~overdrafts, close to $4,000 in
cash and the balance in banking

The Church a New Creation.
1t was difficult for the Savior's hear
ers to get a proper focus upon His
teachings. They could understand John
the Baptists preaching of repentance
and reformation: but when Jesus de
clared. "The Law and the Prophets
We're until John. and since then the
Kingdom of Heaven is preached" this
was so radical Il proposition as to be
difficult for the masses to grasp. What
could be higher than the Law and the
Prophets?
Sympathetically we must concedc
that it was difficult for the Jews to
understand that before the blessing
could come to natural Israel. another.
spiritual Israel, must be selected. BY
way of emphasizing this thought, our
Lord gave two parabolical illustra-
tons. saying, No man sewS a piece of
unshrunken cloth upon an old gar
ment, because the shrinking of the
new cloth would pull away the old
and increase the difficulty. Likewise.
no one would think of putting new
wine whicn had not vet finished its
fermentation into old wincskins. whose
elasticity had been exhausted. for the
old w%ineskins would be burst by the
fermentation of the new wine.
So the Gospel teaching is not a patch
upon the Jewish Law. but is a new
proposition. And the new wine of the
Gospel Dispensation must he put into
new wineskins that will be able to
stand the stress of the fermentation
sure to ome Thus our Lord did not
attempt to engraft His teachings upon
the Jews. but called ont of Judaism q
special class. which the Scriptures de.
note as New Creatures in Christ"
1t is to these that the new wine of
the Gospel Message is committed. and
these are to experience the fermenea.
ton incidental to the preparation for
the MISUNDERSTANDING and testings.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
IN COMPLIMENT TO JUDGE
HANEY.

HANEY.
Under the auspices Of the bar of
Mitchell and under the direction OF
a committee composed of T. j..
Spangler, chairman, e. lG. Wagner
and VIM. Herbert, a delightful BAN
Quet was given last evening to the
bar Of the Fourth judicial circuit in
honor of Judge Dick Haney of the
South Dakota supreme court.
The feature of the evening was an
exceptionally able address by Judge
Haney upon the administration of
Justice" The speaker showed in
his remarks that high concept of
the duties of his position which has
distinguished his service upon the
bench and has enabled him to create
q record singularly free from criti-
cism. He was visibly affected by
the sincere tributes paid him during
the evening by attorneys OF the
Fourth circuit, men with whom he
has associated for much oil a life
time and indeed these expressions
Of appreciation Of his ability and of
his character and of his relations to
the bar were enough to be esteemed
by any one.
None should dispute that the pro-
fessiOn of law is a high calling. 1t
is perhaps peculiarly susceptible Of
abuse and that renders 1t possible
for dishonest men to engage in it.
But that does not alter the fact
that in no profession may higher
Ideals be maintained than in the
law And, despite the criticisms
that have been made frequently of
the bar and OF the courts, 1t is UNI
doubtedly true that as a whole, the
legal profession is moving to a high
er plane. Lawyers, far more than
any other class, fill the legislative,
and important executive offices of
the country. to say nothing of their
monopoly OF the bench. Aud il
should not be forgotten that much Of
the agitation for better government
and more effective Jurisprudence,
has come from mens who are them
selves identified with the legal pro-
fession.
So far as The Republican is con
cerned, 1t has not yet so far despair
ed of the patriotism and ability Of
the bar of the country as to CON
clude that the time has come to
make the people themselves the re-
viewing power above all the courts.
AS a matter Of self-interest, the law
yers should have enough concern
about their profession and about the
courts upon which their profession
depends, to act upon any criticisms
that are really warranted. Above
all else, the courts must be above
suspicion. 1t is false dignity for
them to resent suggestions that
would in fact better judicial prac-
tice. 1t is their duty to confer up
on the law that majesty which it
must have if the people are to abide
by the law. 1t is their peculiar
function as a distinct branch of gov
ernmental service, not so much to
question the will of the public as ex-
pressed through the legislative
branch, as to enhance it and almost
sanctify it by demonstrating to all
people, of whatever estate, that it
must be respected.

Because of our Lords talents the Phar

claims of the Pharisees as hypocritical,

About that time Il fasting season was
observed by the Pharisees. and also by
those who had accepted the teachings
of John the Baptist; but Jesus had
said nothing to His disciples about
fasting. Now the question arose, Why
was this? The Savior's explanation
was that while He was With them it
should properly be considered Il time
of rejoicing and feasting rather than a
time of fasting and sorrow, They
would have plenty of opportunity to
weep and fast after He had gone and
while waiting for His return.

rather a voluntary sacrifice of present
