POLITICAL PLUMS
FOR DEMOCRATS
Leaders Gather at Aberdeen 90
Divide Spells

Tuesday morning j. T. McCullen.
Dan'l Walsh and DAM Healey, three
democratic leaders Of Miller. de-
parted for Aberdeen to meet a large
number Of their democrats breth-
rem from over the state. to arrange
who shall get first place at the pie
counter.
The fact that the boys have been
watching said pie counter with q
wistful eye for many years, will
make the division some strenuous,
because there are not enough places
to 90 around. There r several
very good plums, however, in each
state, and the workers want 'em. and
want 'em quick.
Among the places to fill will be U.
S. district attorney for South Dako-
Ia. u. S. marshal and deputies. ma
tional bank examiner. Land Offices.
surveyor general, Indian Agents,
postofices. etc.
The meeting at Aberdeen is to
adopt some method of distribution.
1t is possible to form q small circle
of leaders whose Endorsement will
go, but the indications are for trou-
blous times ahead for both the fel'
lows who cut the pie, and those who
want q piece of it.

MILLIONS ROBBED
FROM STATE SOIL
More Than Black Hills Gold TAX
en- and Not Returned

Brookings. S. D.. Nov. 26, South
Dakota's wasteful cropping system
took three times as much nitrogen
out OF the soil in 1910 as the yearly
wealth Of the Black Hills. about 8
million dollars. This is a startling
statement found in experiment sta
ton bulletin No. 139. just off the
press at Brookings. Professor Hume
author of the bulletin, supplements
the statement by adding that this
nitrogen is stolen from the soil and
not returned as it should be. And
nitrogen is absolutely necessary to
produce good crops,
The first thing that South Dakota
needs to do IS to get a fund Of
knowledge about herself. South
Dakota must ut once provide for a
state WIDE study of her soil and crop
conditions if she is to continue as a
prosperous state. The laws which
affect the state at la:ge are made
by the legislators whom the people
send to Pierre. The problem of
building a state is no local problem.
We have progressed to the point
where localized efforts are no longer
effective in reaching the whole PEG.

look after the education of the peo-
pie of the state. Ii is not the essen
tial function of anybody or anything
else"
This is probably the most direc,
appeal for better farming methods
ever made in a bulletin. 1t is logi
cal, bristles with earnestness, and
hits straight from the shoulder. II
summarizes as follows:
Forgetting all little, puny, sell
fish, short sighted sectionalism, anc

Hurt In Runaway

Washington Times:-Mr and Mrs
H. J. Clifford and son met with quite
q serious runaway accident Satur-
day afternoon. AS they were start
ing home from town they ran into q
bunch Of cattle on the bridge across
the creek just this side of the GEM
etery. In some way, IN crowding
in among the cattle the tongue was
broken out of the buggy, allowing
the vehicle to run onto the horses
heels. This frightened them, and
they began to run, finally overturn-
ing the rig and throwing the occu-
pants out. Fortunately Mrs Clifford
was thrown clear Of the rig and was
not very badly hurt. Mr. Clifford was
not so fortunate as he fell under the
buggy and was quite badly bruised
and Jared. The rig was quite badly
broken up and will need considerable
repairing before it is in running or
der again. The team was caught
before they had injured themselves
seriously. Guy McElrath took the
family home in the evening. Mr. Gift.
was laid up for q few DAYS.

COMBINE
STATE COLLEGES
President of Board of Regents Be-
Iieves Methods Should be
Improved

Mitchell. S. D., Nov. 26.-At the
opening session of the South Dakota
Educational association. Mayor A..
E. Hitchcock delivered an address, Of
welcome. in which he presented some
advanced views with reference to
providing funds for the state educa-
tional Institutions. and advocating a
wide departure from the usual meth
cd of securing appropriations thru
the state legislature bv urging the
leyying of q special tax on the prop
erty Of the state for this purpose.
Mr. Hitchcock is the president of the
state board of regents, which has
control of the state educational in
stitutions and the board has already
taken some action looking to the
better conditions which are to sur
round these institutions in the fu-
ture.
Mr. Hitchcock stated that he be-
lieSed that the time had come when
these educational institutions should
more closely perform the. functions
for which they were intended and
to keep them within the range of the
work to be performed for the bene-
fit of the student body. 1t is his
ambition to reorganize. viz: Brook
lnss agricultural college, the state
university at Vermillion aud the
school of mines at Rapid City, by
combining them into one great uni
versity. In this respect he is e.
ceiving the cooperation of the other
members of the board, and the po-
sition has been endorsed by leading
educators Of this state and of Iowa.
