Henry Rostron of the steamer Car
pathia, which rescued all those saved
from the Titanic, expressed the above
views in as interview. He was speak
ing of his plans for the education of
his three small sons. When it was
suggested that he was a great hero
the captain shrugged his shoulders.
and said:
"A hero-no; but my men were he
roes-my crew, my passengers, my Of
ficers were heroes, and what l did was
only through that splendid spirit that
swept like a flash from the heavens
through the Carpathia when the
word came that the Titanic was
wrecked. l was only an instrument
in the hands of an impelling fate"
When Captain Rostron entered the
box to the left of the stage accom-
panied by several officers of the Car
pathia a great cheer went over the
house. Men and women stood and
applauded the captain.
Captain Rosuon went to Philadel-
phia and took luncheon in the Widen
er home at Elkins Park as the guest
of Mrs. George B. Widener, who was
herself rescued by the Carpathia, but
whose husband went down with the
Titanic. After the luncheon Captain
Rostron returned to New York.

A BoUNT1FUL YIELD

Huron Huronite: A field of winter
wheat harvested and threshed in
Yankton county has been measured
and is found to yield an average of
SO bushels to the acre, fully three
times the capability of spring wheat
in the same locality and subjected 20
identical conditions. The lesson of
this agricultural feat is obvious. Its
duplication throughout the state is
possible. Time must be taken, how
ever. to accustom the winter variety
of wheat to the climatic and soil in
tiuences of South Dakota. In the
Yankton vicinity winter wheat ex-
periments have covered a period of
some ten years. The grain can now
be there produced in its prime quail
ity and quantity.

MEETING OF GOVERNORS

Governors of fourteen states are
holding a meeting in Boise, Idaho,
and the present session is the first
annual meeting of the Western Gov
ernor's association. The principal
subject to be taken up at the confer
ence will be the various phases of
the public land question: in which the
west is interested; good roads, the
convict, and few other subjects re-
ceiving more or less attention. The
meeting will last three days and will
be followed by trip over the state
of Idaho in q special train provided
for the purpose by Boise Commercial
club.
1t is probable that the real discus
sion will center around the land ques-
ton which is indicated partly by the
fact that only the executives of those
states having public lands, are invit-
ed to participate.

THE MAN OF THE HOUR

One trouble is that the republican
party leaders have acted upon the belief
that the republican voter reads less and
thinks less than he really does. These
leaders have counted too strongly upon
the servility and regularity Of
the rank and file of the party.
independence of thought and action
is an American characteristic that we
are proud of. An English king once
made this mistake with the whole Amer
lean people, and he too received jolt.
1t is time that leaders should be more
respectful and more difierential to the
common every day American citizen and
voter. Let us hope chat the manifesto
ton of this independent spirit is not in
compatible with good rapublicanism.
