CURRENT COMMENT
The Coloncl's DiversiticS.

In his hook entitled American Ideals. Colonel
Roosevelt remarks that our republic must
perish without orderly liberty, and that the
reckless agitator who arouses the mob 10 riot
and bloodshed Is in the last analysis the most
dangerous Of the workingmen's enemies" The
colonel did not pursue this line OF thought in
his recent speeches at Columbus and else
where. He goes to say that the reckless
labor agitator lis the real peril and SO is his
sympathizer. the legislator, who to catch votes
denounces the judiciary and the military be-
cause they put down mobs Has the colonel
heard of anyone lately who denounces the
judiciary and proposes its recall at the In
stance of all sorts of agitators?
In the same book Colonel Roosevelt, re-
ferring to the Atged administration in ILL.,
nois says that when were "on the brink
of an almost terrific explosion the Governor
OF Illinois did his best work to this coun-
try measure of harm great as any planned
by Benedict Arnold. and that We were 1saved
by the resoiute action Of the Federal judiciary
and OF the regular army" For this crisis the
earlier colonel holds responsible that spirit
of blatant de,nagogism which more than any
other, jeopardizes the existence of free IN
stisutions st. Louis Globe democrat.

Is signed by the ways and means COM

Contained In the statement 10 the
following criticism of the McNamaras:
Organized labor of America has no
desire to condone the crimes OF the
McNamaras. 1t joins In the satisfac-
ton tina the majesty OF the law and
justice has been maintained and the
culprits punished commensurately Tor
their crime.
ut is cruelty unjust to hold the
men Of the labor movement either
legally or morally responsible for the
crime of an Individual member. NO
such moral code or legal responsinll-
ity is placed upon any other associa-
ton of men in our country.

OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital city, the various
State Institutions n Dr.
ferent Parts Of h
State.

Pierre.-The state auditor ana sta'e
treasnrer have beer at work for some
time compiling figures SHOWING the
cost of state government in South Ia
kota, in periods of five years pes'li
ming 1900. Their figures have been
figured out on a per capita basis on
population for the same years, anu the
showing as to totals, and amount io'
each person are shown as follows:
19OO-Total, $693, 1908; per capita
$1.72.
19o5-Total, s1,0s0,22O.ss; per CAPT
ia, s2.26.
191o-Total. s~1,s72,515.s5; per cap
tia, 1921.
In 1900 very little was appropriate
for public buildings in h state ant
the appropriations for that year were
kept very low as compared with othei
sessions.
Right in this relation to public eS
penditure for the year 1910, the
amount of money expended TOT tne
public schools of this state was 81,
O69, O12.77, of which nearly three mlil
ion wen to the rural schools, and IN
c~identally farther on the basis or the
amount expended and the pupils en-
rolled in the schools, it costs the PEG
pie of the state at the rate OF S32.2z
for each pupil for each year.

State Land Department.

Pierre.-The state land department
has been making a few estimates OF
the difference between lease collec-
lions from state lands for grazing pur-
poses in 1910, and the interest received
from the money for sale of the same
tracts in 1911. On the common school
lands sold last year, the lease collec-
tons were ~S5,341.79 for 1910, and the
interest collections for receipts on the
same tracts for 1911 were $57,176,
over ten times the return. On state in
%stitution endowment lands, the lease
returns were $11,657, for 1911,
or more than twelve times the return
from interest that there was from
leases. The department sent out the
quarterly collections of money due
the different state institutions this
week, for quarter ending November
80, the total being but $4,63S.23 divid-
ed among the different institutions.
