A YANKTON EXPERIMENT

Wednesdays edition Of the Yank-
ton Press and Dakotan ~editorially
says:
The managing editor Of this paper
has been criticised a number of times
since yesterday for allowing a news
story regarding the beating of a wo-
man by her husband to run in our
columns when he has suppressed
what is a matter Of general knowledge
that several other husbands, residing
here but belonging to a little higher
grade of society, have visited sum-
mary punishment upon the persons Of
their wives within the last few weeks.
His only excuse is that such matters
the sheets Of local papers would not
improve the morals of the community.
At that. he is not sure but he is mis-
taken and may decide finally that a
few local stenchc5 could be better and
more quickly cleaned up by publicity,
Sunlight and air in abundance will
purify the flow from tie most putrid
and possibly the same free air
ing would make clean things socially
which only seem to become more
Objectionable Under the cover Of dark
ness"
From which it appears that Yank-
ton husbands have been putting into
practice the recommendation of the
eminent neurologist recently mention
ed in the News, who insists that the
proper treatment for wives who have
disobeyed or otherwise d~ispleased
their husbands, is a beating. Before
adopting the practice in other parts
of the state, South Dakota husbands
generally will await, with consider
able interest, the final outcome at

could have done this SO successfully,
and by this me great fact, the Fair
proved it's untold value to the State.
In material equipment, the South
Dakota State Fair has made remark
able progress. The state has over
one hundred seventy-one thousand
dollars invested In property and i'm
provsmsnts, including buildings, ma
chtnsry and furniture, two artesian
wells. splendid race track, sewer sys-
tenn, fences and roads, electric light
ing system and watsrworks.
With new advances, greater exhi-
bits, more sensational attractions and
proper state spirit. the 1912 State
Fair of South Dakota will be the
greatest ever. Secretary McIlvane
says that fully n hundred twenty
hvs thousand people will the attend
the Fair at Huron this year. The
dates are September 9-10-11-12-13,
at Huron. Special reduced rates on
all railroads.

GENERAL BOOTH

For l was an hungered, and We
gave me meat; l was thirsty, and We
gave me drink; l was a stranger, and
We took me in:
Naked, and We clothed me; l was
sick, and We visited me; | was in pris-
on, and We came upon me-" Math XIV
1886.
Countless thousands of outcasts,
wanderers of the earth, drunkards,
criminals and unfortunates of every
description could in truth thus sum
Marie the service General William
Booth, commander of the Salvation
Army, has given humanity. The gen
eral died Tuesday in London. But the
work he began nearly fifty years ago
proceeds onward. In the years to come
the hungry, the thirsty, the lonely, the
naked, the sick and the imprisoned
who are reached by the Salvation
Army will still owe comfort to Gen
eral Booth.
AS a Methodist minister William
Booth saw what he believed to be the
futility of the conventional church as
a means of converting the "submerg-
ed TENTH" the waste bi-products of
civilization, to Christianity. To him
sin appeared as an organized army to
be successfully fought only by a mill
tant body of Christian crusaders. He
and his army have taken the teach
ings of righteousness into the slums
where the need was most urgent.
Once the Salvation Army was ridi-
culed but the informed nov have
naught but the most respectful words
of praise to speak of this unique or
ganizatiOn. The world admires the
spirit of its big Christmas dinners for
poor children; its gifts of clothing and
food to destitute families; its ability
to turn the forces of evil into fighters
for righteousness by recruiting into
it's own ranks it's prisoners of war.
General William Booth began this
worldwide work. He followed to the
letter that scriptural injunction: GO
We into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature" Men whose
work lives on after death has taken
them from their labo1s are numbered
among the truly great of the earth.
Such a man was General William
Booth.-Sioux Falls Press.

WHEN HOPE AND PATIENCE WON

Making the best of conditions and
surroundings and cultivating a feeling
of content frequently requires will
power greater than some people can
grumble than speak c%heerfully, to be
morose and fault-finding than pleasant
and comp~anionable. But there are
others who treat disappointments,
hard luck and ~self-denial as mere in.
cidents in life and give less heed to
them than they do to hope. Discon-
tened people want success to come on
the jump or their patience flies. This
is a poor foundation on which to build
for the future.
The writer remembers we'll the rush
of people to South Dakota to secure
homes when the railroads pushed west
ward and opened up a new agricul-
tural territory. A large area became
available for settlement, and thous-
ands of people took advantage of the
chance to secure homes. They went
there from the cities and villages and
tn farms of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin,
and other western states. They chose
their lands and started in to become
owners of farms. At that time these
people banked on possibilities, as that
country was new and untrieds, a tree
less level expanse unbroken by hills
and water courses for more than a
hundred miles in some directions. 1t
was to this prairie eXpanse that men
took their wives and children and
waited for civilization to come to
them. They took with them educa-
ton, refinement and ambition. Many
of the homes they moved onto were
built of sod because lumber was
scarce and expensive. 1t was not I'M
usual to hear the music of pianos in
these humble houses. The owners
did not forget. the civilization they
left or their obligation to build the
same in their new homes.
Wives who had occupied good So
cial positions in the communities they
left soon became used to the new sur
%roundings and their womanly influence
backed by hope and confidence shaped
a new society along the lines they
knew so well, and today that state
stands we'll to the forefront in schools,
churches and all that is good in life.
These cheerful wives and mothers had
really more to do in building a state
out of South Dakota than the men.
They recognized the opportunity to
succeed and encouraged their hus-
bands to stay en- their land and thus
solved the question of independence.
Money in farm realty is the best in
vestment any one can make. The
early settlers Of South Dakota have
realized this fact.
In the early stages it was largely a
matter of hope backed by confidence.
1t is the same in a majority Of things
people undertake. There Is always
more or less chance. The merchant,
manufacturer, professional man and
the mechanic must expect to find
rough spots in the road to success

GLADSTONE REMAINS A REPUBLICAN
Declares He Will Not Run on Pro
gressive Ticket For Governor

Regarding the third party move
ment in Idaho have only this to say,
said Paul Clagstone, who on the face
OF returns is defeated for the republi-
can nomination for governor OF Idaho
by Is votes. "a great many progres-
sives prominent in the movement have
suggested my name as possible can
didate for the governorship this fall.
However, | feel that entered the
race in the primaries as straight out
Roosevelt progressive and did my best
to win on this issue and nearly sue
ceeded. Having apparently lost by a
very narrow margin, feel that | must
abide by the result and under no cir
cumstances shall accept the nomina-
ton for governor this fall on the third
party ticket
TO be present at the official canvass
which will be held Wednesday at
Boise, Mr.. Clagstone left for the capital
last night.
81 do not anticipate any irregular
tiles, but for my own satisfaction and
for that OF my many supporters feel
that the matter is of sufficient moment
to require my presence in order tc
use all care to see that the most ac-
curate count is made" continued Mr.
Clagstone.
"Boise dispatches inform me that
Haines has lead of IS votes out oi
nearly 10000 cast. These figures have
been obtained by telegraph reports
mainly, and it is quite possible that {
careful count may show some Sigh
mistake, which would make the result
quite different.
"However if find that have beer
defeated shall accept it with the feel
ing that have done all in my power
to make strong campaign and have {
good race.
1T is particularly gratifying to me t.

NOn-BOard Insurance Companies.

During the past week w. M. Chand-
Ter has made important changes in the
insurance agency that he has conducted
here for the past thirteen years. He
has eliminated all board companies and
has made his agency all non-board.
Saturday j. w. Gamble, Of Helena,
Montana, special agent for the Cont
mental Of New York, was here and ar
ranged for Mr.. Chandler to represent
his company, which is the strongest
United States Company doing business
having assets Of s25, 500, 600 and pol
icy holders surplus of s16,0O0,000. The
Continental has been in business GO
years and has stood every test that
could be applied to an insurance COM
pany. 1t was the first to pay losses in
the great San Francisco conflagration,
and careful writing of policies, fair ad-
justment OF losses and prompt payment
of claims has made the Continental a
favorite with the insuring public. Mr.
Chandler has also taken over the Prus-
sian National Insurance Co., and this
with the Germania of New York, the
Milwaukee Mechanics and Northeastern
National of Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
gives him combination representing
$40, 900, 600 in assets, with net surplus
OF sd, ,G00,0oo. All Of the companies
now represented by Mr.. Chandler are
non-board companies, or in other words
not in the trust represented by the
Board of Underwriters OF the Pacific.
