Judging by the interest being dis
played, the games this year are going
to be big in every way. Those In
charge have worked hard to make the
affair a success. and the fact that so
many old-timers are going to turn out
is evidence that some real enthusiasm
has been stirred up. AS to the num-

CORY GLORIES.

One of the glories of intercollegiate
football is that the whole bunch Of them
win the state championship each fall.
This is especially true in South Dakota.
With the exception of Ward Academy
and the Hot Springs Soldiers Home and
the State Penitentiary at Sioux Falls,
about every other institution in the state
is claiming the state football champion
ship. The Huron Alphomega, the
Huron college organ, shows its original
ity (p) by using the percentage system
in showing how Huron college won the
flag. The Phreno- Cosmian, published
by Dakota Wesleyan students at Nit
chell, says the Huron claim reads like it
were t. o. b. (fed on bunk or something
just as plain, and SO the mighty editorial
pens are welded in the sublime issue.
Gentlemen, or, to be exact, kids, your
athletic enthusiasm is good thing. The
school that can turn out snappy, gamy
baseball or football or track team is do
ing a splendid thing, but you will learn
or at least most people have learned
that athletics is only means and not an
end. 1t is probably of no avail, but is
true, nevertheless, to remind you that
the editorial pages of any paper on earth
are for other purposes than blatant dis
putes as to which team is the best and
strongest. 1t would be trifls more in
dicative of common sense if you would
be journalists would devote line or
two, now and then, to the fact that we
play the game lin sports or in life) pri-
marily for the love of the game rather
than to win, Notwithstanding the laud-
ability of the latter ambition. If even
one-half of our athletes could get this
into their heads, college might be OF
some slight use to them. AS it is, they
but never mind, a word to the wise is
supposed to be sufficient, and sometimes
TO the otherwise.

mare of Turkish dominion shrunk to
the little measure that the Balkan heroes
have curtailed it, and the Turk driven
to make his next and last stand in the
Mosque of st. Sophia. They would hear
the deliberations of Hague congress,
called and met to devise ways of peace
to displant those Of war. They would
help us beat our swords into plough
shares and our spears into pruning hooks,
and would say with us in universal love
to man: at is good to live in times like
these"
From the graveyards of the nations
the specter of war and desolation and
death beckon us to higher things than 10
kill and mar. From the tragedies of the
past have come the sunshine of the
present From Gettysberg and Water
loo and Appomattox has come the
humanitarian and enlightened demand
for universal disarmament. The "first
in peace" has lowered above the First
in war" and our descendants ofthe third
or fourth generation will read with awe
and regret of the barbarc engines of
warfare which their sires discarded.
And the hands of the clock will not
turn backward. Even the kingdoms
and empires of Europe to-day have mon
archs only in name. The King of Eng
land for years has had less power than
the president Of the United States. So
it is with all 'the powers" Only old
and pathetic Russia fingers as last and
tottering relic of real despotism. 1t is
merely the spirit of the great and near
great, Lying over aud over in the minds
and methods Of men. Here in the very
arena of Balkan-Turkish conflict was
born the implacable Alexander, whose
invincible cohorts in single march
struck down the power of Egypt and In
dia, and rendered Hellenistic all western
Asia, and whose mighty empire was vast
enough to be divided into four empires.
Here WAS born the legal genius of time,
Justinian, whose Code and Pandects are
the basis ofmodern law. Here fought and
died the exiled Byron, and here his
memory is cherished in the hearts of a
noble peasantry. What wonder that the
love of liberty stirs afresh in the very
atmosphere, in this region and elsewhere
in the world where the energy and ener-
waiting influence of education and of
political ideals prevail!
More than fortunate it is, more than
occasion for rejoicing it is, that the light
has come, aud that it shines brighter
and brighter. The story of man still
mounts higher, due to his lessons from
the mistakes of the gone but not for
gotten past.

Tubbs-Standeu,

Sunday evening, December %, at the
home Of the brides parents, was solem-
nized the wedding of their daughter,
Miss Mabel Standen to N. Page Tubbs,
Rev. Mr.. Minish of the Edgemont M. E.
church officiating.
1t was one of the prettiest weddings
ever witnessed. The bride was attired
in white silk trimmed with Neill roses,
the groom in conventional black. They
were attended by the groom's sister,
Miss Alice Tubbs, attred in light blue
silk, and his cousin, c. A. Tubbs. Men
delssohn's wedding march was beauti-
fully rendered by Alfred Williams.
The house was beautifully decorated
with Christmas colors and tokens and
the table looked especially attractive as
the relatives and friends gathered
around it. A large number of elegant
and useful presents were given the happy
couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tubbs will spend the
holidays with relatives and friends here
and will then begin the New Year in
their own home near Custer. Among
the guests were the groom's aunts, Mrs.
I, N. Bard of Cheyenne, Wyo. and Mrs.
Thomas Mahaffy from Bonneville, N. Y.
Many and sincere congratulations were
given the happy couple and the members
Of the Express family desire to join with

THE WORLD,S DRAMA.

In this ushering in of new year, II
would not be fruitless journey for the
masters of history to reanimate their
former selves to retrospect the present
setting on the stage of universal affairs.
1t would not be sacrilege, were it pos
sible, to call back Paul from the COM

Alexander from the wreck of his world
empire; or Caesar from the mastery Of
ancient Roms; or the iron man Bismarck
from the peerless summit of his glory
They would see commonwealth upon
commonwealth, greater than alexander
ever sighed to conquer; system and
efficiency of government vaster and in
comparably more complex than Caesar
even could have understood, or Bismarck
have formulated. They would see the
old and selfcontained China with a
voluntarily adopted popular govern
ment. They would see the horrid night

Congressman +. w. Martin, of Dead
wood, is busy pushing bill he has in
troduced, looking 10 making the rail-
roads of the country do their own express
business, the same as they do their
freight work. Regarding the bill, Mr..
Martin says: 81 would have the rail-
road companies perform the express
service as they now perform the freight
service, and would place the entire sub
ject under the complete control of the
interstate commerce commission, with
authority to compel only reasonable
rates for the service. We will then save
from one-half to two-thirds of the pres
ent exorbitant charges, and express
rates in the United States will then
compare favorably with express rates
on the continent, just as We compare so
favorably in the matter of freight rates"

A BAD BILL.

There is now before Congress bill,
House resolution number Sl4D that is
a step backward. In the main, it pro-
vides that officers of the militia shall be
paid from 500 to $500, and that enlisted
men shall receive from SIS to 1925 COM
pensation. If enacted into law, this bill
would mean the. annual expenditure at
the start of about Is million dollars, and
there is absolutely no reason why the
sum would not reach the prodigious to-
tai of hundred millions This is retro
gression. In order to maintain anything
like standing army, we must go on the
assumption that we need it. But, if we
assume that We need it, then, as the
New York Independent points out, We
must also assume, to quote that journal
verbatim:
First-That England, France, Ger
many or Japan intend to fight US Mani
festly we don't need large army or
navy for any other nation. They are
too small.
Seconi-That if they do fight us, they
can defeat our first defense, the navy.
Third-That they could declare war,
defeat the navy and land on our shores
and take some important positions be-
fore we could muster in and drill Il citi.
zen army capable of driving them out.
Fourth-Tbat if they got on our
shores, they could even get off alive.
1t is hardly within the range of prob
ability that any well informed man of
today will accept any of these supposi-
tions. Only the first would occasion any
worthy debate, and even at that care
full consideration Of our commercial re-
lations with these nations hardly fur
nshes any ground for fear. On the
contrary, for these nations to harbor a
thought of sntagonism for America
seems quite unnatural.
Let every interested citizen write his
Congressman in no uncertain terms re-
garding the attitude of a nation of peace
toward such military incubus as house
resolution number 8141.

RICHARDS PRIMARY LAW
Filing Of Appointments is the Only
Issue Passed Upon by the
Supreme Court,

Pierre, 8. D., Dec. 30.-special: In
the majority opinion Of the supreme
court, written by Justice Whiting, in the
case of Cook vs.. the secretary of state
for the test ofthe Endorsement provisions
of the Richards primary law" the ques-
tion as to legality of the present state
committee is not passed upon, and the
decision is upon that provision regarding
the filing of applications for appoint
ment. The law requires such applica-
tions to be filed after the primary elsc-
ton, and before the general election.
AS the question was up to the voters.
and the law not in existence until after
the general election of this year, the
court holds that that particular provis-
ion could not be complied with, and
that as the law is specific in this regard,
it could not possibly be carried out be.
fore the election of 1914, and on this
finding denies the writ of mandamus
asked for to compel the secretary of state
to file the selections made by the men,
bers of the committee which met on the
14th of this month.
Justice Corson holds with the court in
its conclusion as to the legality or force
of the Endorsement, but holds that the
lack of force was from the fact that the
committee no longer has legal exist.
ence and could not pass upon applics-
tions.
Justice Haney in his dissenting opin-
ion holds that the provision in regard to
filing applications for appointments is
merely an advisory provision, and the
mere fact that the applications had not
been filed within a specified time has no
real bearing on the case, and that they
could be legally considered filled at any
time before the date set for the meeting
of the committee.

NEARLY ASPHYxIATED A
Two Custer Boys Were Victims Of
Partial Asphyxiation by Gas
In Omahas

Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Roseberry receiv-
ed message last Saturday afternoon
from Omaha stating that their two sons,
Russell and Irwin Roseberry, we're criti-
cally i'll, and asking that they hasten to
their bedside. Mrs. Roseberry, her son
Charley and Mrs. Lillis Newman left for
there on the Burlington that evening
The message did not give the cause of
their sickness, but from the Omaha
World Herald of December 2Sth we clip
the following:
Russell and Irwin Roseberry, broth
ers, making their home at the Belmont
hotel, we're victims of partial asphy xia-
tion by gas in their room early today.
They are at the Omaha General hospital
in serious condition.
The action of Miss Ethel Wilson, stop
ping at the hotel, in informing the man
agement she smelled gas and the prompt
work of the latter in securing admit
tance to the Roseberry room where the
flow was stopped and resuscitation be-
gun, is thought to have prevented the
death of at least one of the victims.
Police Surgeon 7. T. Harris ordered
the brothers taken to the hospital. Both
were unconscious when found.
Irwin Roseberry had been sick yes
terday and laid Off from work-both
brothers are employed by McCord-
Brady company. 1t is thought that dur
ing the night Irwin may have gotten up
for something and having lit the gas
turned it out again with an involuntary
movement that left the jet open. 1t
was found partly open by the rescuers."
A letter received few days ago from
Mrs. Roseberry stated that both are on
the road to speedy recovery.
