A COMMUNICATION,

In the last issue of your paper | notice
an article entitled The Best Invest
ment" by the Rev. John Cavanaugh,
president of Notre Dame University.
The Rev. gentleman paints a beautiful
word picture of our grand old republic
and SO long as he confined his arguments
to things of the spiritual side of life, we
find no fault with him. But when he
launches fourth into politics he shows
most surprising ignorance for one occu-
pying SO exhalted station as he occu-
pies.
True, as he says, "during the past few
decades vast hordes from across the sea
have been coming to our Shores" and
further they have brought their hatred
with them" among which were the seeds
for Anarchy" So far we agree. But
right here is where the good man falls
down. One would judge that carried
away by the smooth flow of his own
language, or actuated by desire to mis-
lead his hearers, or else from shere ig-
norance of the philosophy he would de-
cry, he couples the term anarchy" and
Socialism" together as one and the
same thing, while in fact one is the an
thesis of the other. Anarchy is phil
osophy in which every man is law un-
to himself while socialism would teach
the universal love of man or practical
illustration of the teachings of the lowly
Nazarene in which the law of love, every
man for his fellow man is exemplIfied
in no other political philosophy, nor,
indeed, even in the churches who claim
to be teaching the doctrine ofthe Christ.
Socialism is not spiritual philosophy,
but political move, world wide in its
scope, and does not seek by word or de-
clared party principle to dictate the
religious creed of its adherants. Re
| ligion is a thing apart with socialist as
with all other political parties. 1t is as
fair to presume that infidelity is the
fundamental principal of the republican
party because Robert Ingersol, staunch
| republican was an avowed infidel, or
that Athusm is the plank upon which
the whole democratic party rest, because
Thomas Jefferson was an Athusist, as
to impute impiety to all socialists because
individuals are impous. For it is fact
you will find some as devout Christians
among the socialists as among any class
in the world. Nor is the party made
up of ignorant rable. Ask almost any
socialist why he is socialist and he can
give you plain direct reason. In nc
other party can you find as many men
who can render reason as in this one
Ask the first fifty men you meet what
| is polite and not more than one out Of
the fifty can give you an intelligent
answer.

BILITIES.
THE CIVIC FEDERATION.

What about the Civic Federation ?
Shall it live and prosper? Shall it
abound in good works, becominga more
efficient factor in our town life or must
it follow the Commercial club to the
grave. leaving as an epitah,
"Since so early was done for,
wonder what 1 was begun for"
These are questions which our people
must decide. and it is personal ques-
ton, "what are you, Sir, or Madame
going to do for the Civic Federation this
second year of its life-what is to be
your attitude" We all know the his
tory. 1t is splendid one of public
spirited cooperation for civic benefit, of
fine editorial work, creative of wide
spread interest in our town, of practical
benefit in the shape of local improve
ments, splendid meetings for every one,
and best of all, for our "Chautauqua.
Glory enough all this for one little or.
ganization. Glory enough to justify the
one year oflife.
But now citizens what about it? Shall
we make a new program. start new
efficiency campaign, plan new and bet
ter things, or shall each of us say "for
me and mine rest, sweet rest" We
have current saying here, "that no
such institution survives its second
year." Are we to make this saying
good, or to quote the immortal pro.
fessor, "Not, if not, why not"
Citizens of Custer the officers of the
Civic Federation are on the Qui Vive
to know what you are thinking, and
what you propose doing. Let us have
some public letters on the subject. The
editor of the CHRONICLE is willing, and
the officers are waiting. Speak uI
friends, what about it?

LOOK FOR TUNGSTEN.

wolframite, and which Is valuable fol

tungsten are constantly growing, and
the price remains at high standard
According to recent publications of the
U. S. Geological Survey, its principal
uses are in the manufacture of tool steel
and incandescent electric lamps.
Elwood Haynes, president of the
Haynes Automobile Co., wrote to the
Survey that his company would be COM
PEELED to add 5000 to the selling price
of each machine should the firm have
to use ordinary tool steel instead of the
tungsten steel they are now using. DR..
w. r. Whitney, widely known scien-
tist, has stated. ''On ,.he assumption
that the present rate of lamp consump-
tion is equivalent to about 80 million %
watt tungsten lamps per year. The
saving in power is about $240, ,000, 900
per year, or two-thirds million per day.
Naturally this is saving which is to be
distributed among producers, consumers
and others, but illustrates very we'll the
possibilities"
Tungsten ores are purchased upon
their content of trioxide. When this
material run above sixty per cent. The
payment is made at the rate of $4.5 to
$3.50 per unit (or per cent? SO that
sixty per cent ore is worth anywhere
from $270 to $5l0 per ton. The price
depends upon the character ofimpurities
governing the cost of refining.

other mechanical details that add great.

lamp encroach upon the ordinary car
bon-filament lamp and the arc lamp.
Diamonds are used for dies in drawing
tungsten wire. At first is did not seem
possible to drill small enough holes
through diamonds to make wire suf-
ficiently fine for lamps of small candle
power, but wire 0,0006 inch in diameter
can now be drawn in quantity.
Tungsten ores, such as wolframite,
sheelite and ferberite, haye been found
at Lead, Flatiron, Bear Gulch, Hill City,
Keystone, Custer and other points in
the Black Hills.

TESTS MECHANICAL MILRERS.

The dairy husbandry department OF
the state college at Brookings is making
a comparative study of the various kinds
ofmilking machines including the Sharp
less, the Hinman. the Burrell, Lorns,
Kennedy, and the Hazelwood. The OBJ
ject of this test is to obtain for South
Dakota farmers some reliable informa-
tion concerning these types of mechani-
cal mixers. These machines are now
being installed in the college dairy barn.
Zone of the great draw backs to the
progress of the dairy industry" says
Professor G. Larsen, "has been the lack
of proper labor on the dairy farm. This
has been the drawback also of all phases
of farming. However, general farming
operations have been improved by ma
chinery. 1t now remains for mechani-
cal milking to remove one of the drudger.
les of milking.
Milking machines are success, pro.
viding the proper kinds are used. The
time is near at hand when milking
machines will be as common on ou,
dairy farms as are the hand operators
today. When that time comes, then
the dairy industry will have received 9
great impetus. 1t is we'll known fact
that the dairy COW is the most profitable
and economic converter of field crops
into human foods. With the cows fresh
ening in the fall, reasonably good barr
in which to keep cows, silo filled with
good corn silage, and hay in the NOW
and good man back of it all. the dairy
cow will have an opportunity to show
what she can do in the way of earnin,
money and building homes in Soutl
Dakota. by Agriculture Editor.
