come here to obtain an education?
is it fair to continually go to the SEES
sions Of the legislatures of the state
and ask for appropriations to support
the college, while the citizens sit idle
as far as general Improvement is con
cerned?
Is there no duty implied by reason
of preferment of the state? Are the

to secure some of these b~etterments?
Should they not be active? Rudolph,
Squirting, Sherwin and Kennard are

general business done it's share or has
it only plucked the ripest fruit, done

SUGGESTIONS TO BROOKINGS.

Looking backward may be a good
means to enable one to look forward.
1t would be pertinent to enquire how
many weak manufacturing projects
have been kept from coma and death,
how many things have been secured
that increase the working population
of the city; what has been done to
induce workers to come and dwell
within the city. Suppose hat a COM
mittee of ten be appointed by the
mayor or someone in the lead of the
city's intrests to bring forth the best
suggestions on how to secure 500 new
students for attendance at the college
next autumn, and report to a mass
meeting of the citizens.
Can the college have 500 more new
students in attendance and not incon-
v%enience the people of the city? Ask
the older people of the state how they
existed during the time they were en-
gagged in the struggle for an educa-
ton, meager though it might have
been, then say whether the city of
Brookings has done and is doing her
share toward housing the youth of
the state while attending school. Are
their rooms that young men can rem
by the month at a low enough rent to
pay ten per cent interest plus the up
keep, upon the investment? Is there
a large dormitory run in the interest
of the city, where young men can Sc
room and board at a low cost?
What is the city doing to advertise
for the attendance Of the rank and

The Register wishes to call atten-

Wiscoa Land Co., that is selling

advertising for some time In the Reg

pains to ascertain the standing OF the

Of business through our columns. We

The Strike Protest?

1t is to be hoped that there be little response to
Haywood S demand for general strike in protest OF
the arrest and imprisonment of Ettor, Govantt and
Carnso, charged with completely in murder during
The Lawrence strike In the first place, such pro-
test would do no good The authorities who could
arrest and keep in confinement these such
flimsy evidence not such to be moved by SEN
timental protest
Secondly, such strike would be wasteful of
labors resources and of the nature of self punish
ment. A much more forceful and sensible protest
would be to devote wages earned with certain peri
cd as defense fund for the accused.
But still another consideration enters in. The
Lawrence trouble opened the eyes OF intelligent peo-
pie outside the ranks of labor to the lengths to which
inscriptions capital will go nothing else has in
al our industrial history. considerable part of
our people were in doubt. The Lawrence affair
showed, however, that no mans natural rights are
safe. And to these non-combatants referred to our
industrial troubles suddenly appeared in most
serious light Since exposure Of those textile mill
infamies and the servity of the laws officials it APP
pears no longer question of wages but one of ex
istence when the issue is joined with the trusts and
every outside the trusts must take notice.
No protest unlock the cells of Ettor and his
companions. But a fair and full trial Of them may
open cell doors to the oppressors who have violated
every right given by God and due to man. Hay
woods proposition is that organized labor fire into
the air. Labor would do well to reserve its powder
until it can see the whites of the enemies eyes Not
Ettor but Justice is on trial in these cases.
If workngman must hang for being side
of strike while the arstocrat the other side goes
free, let's know it!

Again was she his dinner part

of his ground, however encom-

fected a conversational truse.
And-again the balcony-Mrs.

glory of a rose scented June
night!
But, in spite of the roses and
the moonlight, when the latest
novel, the plays, the weather, had
exhausted themselves, the crucial
moment intruded itself, bringing
silence. Then the skeleton of that
first meeting came from out its
hiding place, and Hamilton and
Jane Boggs felt, poignantly, its
baneful presence.
Existence was becoming oppres-
sive when the girl spoke.

The wavering smile ended In

Hamilton's surrender was COM
