Mitchell, May S.-The Warne divorce

days to present the evidence, has just

practically everything she asked for.
The courts decree was that Mrs.
Warne should have the custody of the
two children, she was awarded all the
residence property, valued at about
$l2, 600 and that she should receive
alimony to the amount OF $50 pei
month from her husband.
When the case was being heard in
court ii was fought by DIR. Warne, and
a great amount of Evidence was pre-
sented on both sides. Mrs. Warne's
lady friends came TO her rescue, and
from forty to fifty women were present
in the court room daring the three
days for the moral effect their presence
would have. The couple have resided
here for twenty five years, and DR..

RED TAILED HAWK
A Useful Bird Which is Unfort.
unately of Bad Reputa-
ton

Sioux City Tribune: Some people

hawk belongs to the latter class. He il
often called the Chicken hawk" and
accused of being AN enemy of the farm.
er's hens. and we must confess that
this reputation is not altogether un.
founded. He has been seen more
times than n pursuing these fowls.
This reputation led the United States
department of agriculture to SEND
specialists to make a study of bis
habits; and these, after long and
careful investigation, decided that he
was not nearly as bad as he had been
pictured. He does take chickens occa-
~sionally, but by far the greater par,
of his food is made up of small and
injurious quadrupels, such as gophers.
moles and the like. The good that
he does in this way far outbalances
the injury of taking an occasional
chicken when other food supply runs
short. In some places a bounty has
been set on his head, but it would
be more to the point if he was put in
the list of protected birds. If that il
too much to expect, then the farmer
will do we'll to shoot at him only
when he sees him in pursuit of a
chicken.
The favorite nesting places for this
species is in the deep woods as far
from the haunts of man as possible.
The nests are large and bulky. though
shallow. Sticks and twigs mixed to.
gether form the material of which
the nest is composed, while grass,
moss and a few feathers are used fol-
lining. 1t is said that sometimes a
deserted crows nest is fitted up and
used. Cases have been known where
owls and thcse hawks have occupied
the same nest during the same season.
The usual height of the nest from
the ground is between 80 ard &c
feet. Two or three eggs arc the usual
number, though occasionally four may
be found. The eggs vary much both
in size and in markings, some red white
or blush white. while others are

DAKOTA DEMOCRATS
Ruling by Committee Chairman
Governing Selection of
Postmasters

Washington, May S.-A new and
very important party ruling, which
| will govern the South Dakota demo.
cratic organization in it's Endorsement
of candidates fot postofices in that
state was set out in a statement which
was issued today by State Chairman
James Cyffey and National Committee
man Tom Taubman.
The Richards primary law, which
provides for the selection of postmas
tiers by all patrons of the Office, is
disapproved. An election which
would be participated in only by
democratic patrons of the Office will
be required.
The in which thess elections
shall be conducted is indicated by the
statement. which is as follows:
We have been requested by South
Dakota democrats to express our views
regarding the primary law respecting
postofiice a~ppointm ents.
Ia the outset we desire to say frank
lily that we do not favor the Richards
law, for the reason that it would
permit republicans TO select postmas-
tiers under a democratic administra-
ton.
While the law is on the statutes OF
our state, 1t has been held by the at.
torney general and the supreme court
10 be imperative at the present time.
So far it has been the policy of the
state organization to file in the office
of the postmaster general all petitions
and recommendations of any kind re-
ceived from or in behalf of any candi-
date for postofiice appointment, and to
Recommend the candidate who receives
the Endorsement of the members of the
organization in his county who are
known to be in harmony with and sup.
porters of democratic national and
s ate platforms and the candidates
thereon.
We have read Mr.. Johnscn's letter
suggesting a primary under certain
conditions and heartily favor the
principle, which we consider demo.
cratic.
The state organization will willing
lily and gladly indorse any applicant
for the ~postoffice appointment who
shall have received the plurality OF
votes in n democratic election called by
the county organization consisting Of
the member of the state committe,
the county chairman and the treasur-
er of the county committee; provided,
that in any county where there are
officers of the state organization they
shall cooperate in determining wheth-
Ell an election shall be called, and shall
be deemed a part of the county or
ganizstion in conducting such cleo
Itions.
An election wnen called should be
conducted by the organization, which
shall prescribe the qualifications and
democracy of the electors and candi-
dates and shall make all needful rules
and regulations for holding an cleo
tion.
This seems to be the only feasible
plan 10 insure to democrats their
choice of postmasters and will be fol
lowed where recommendations have
not been already made.

Committee.

GOVERNMENT MONEY
FOR ROAD BUILDING

AS chronicled in this newspaper
some time ago, sum of $3 900 had
been appropriated by the govern
ment for the construction of road
to the Wheeler National Monu-
ment. Recently 81, 800 of this
amount has been transferred to be
used on the road between Jasper
and Camp Gilmore. The money
will be expended as soon as the
weather conditions make it practi-
cal and the work will be contracted
by the Forest Service.
In spite of the assertion of the
Del Norte Prospector that the
money was made to spend and that
it should be spent whether it did
anyone any good or not, the appro-
priation will be used in a practical
and beneficial manner and the
Forest service is to be congrat-
ulated upon having business-like

sense enough to know road from

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

The present inefficiency of home,
school and youth, nobody denies.
Neither does anyone assert that
the modern industrial world of big
machines and little jobs provides
any good place for choosing or
learning trade. In this perplex-
ity, the masters of industry in Illi-
nois-the bankers and merchants
and manufacturers-have a plan
to offer. Old fashioned industry
with apprenticeship, they say,
can not be restored; the home
we'll, they say nothing about the
home; but the school can and must
save the youth and through him
the nations industries.
There's Germany. See what
she's done. Built up by the sheer
wisdom of a practical school sys-
tenn, the greatest skilled body of
industrial workers in the world.
The thing to do is to pattern after
her and be quick about it too.
Our public school system does
not offer 30 adequate preparation
nor 30 free choice for the indus.
trial and commercial world as for
the professional and artistic. The
criticism is valid and the public
school must meet it by reform.
For each child of the democracy,
whatever his life work is to be, has
the right to full exploration before
choice and to full preparation after
choice.
TO give to each child, early and
late, full opportunity to discover
his talents to himself, to his par
ents, to the community, so that
society may gain the benefit of his
best adult service; then to offer to
the youth, his talents known, the
most nicely adapted general and
special instruction for the highest
eficiency-these should be the two
industrial purposes Of the state in
education.-Angeline l.. Graves in
The Public.

AFFAIRS IN MEXICO

the downfall of all the great nations
of the world, means the overthrow
of old Mexico.
R. B. Brinsmade, who knows
the Mexican situation, says:
about 10000 families not only
own the greater part of Mexico as
vast estates (some exceeding L.
100000 acres) and thus lock out a
population of 100000 from the
use of their own country, but nu-
merous land monopolists are also
engaged in debauching the masses
through the pulque (maguey beer)
and alcohol trades. Not only are
vast fertile areas Especially near
Mexico City devoted to the maguey
Century plant for pulque, but
corn is made artifcially dear by
consuming much of each crop for
alcohol. making.

flat and rich valleys owned by
absentee millionaires resident in
the big cities, whose only human
homes are occasional structures
(haciendas) where the estates
steward herds gangs of pauper
poems, living under conditions sim-
liar to those prevalent in the feu-
dal castles of medieval Europe.
"As in most of Mexico the
masses have no land of their own,
can only earn pauper wages on the
great estates, are illiterate and
more or less inebriate, all condi-
tions are suitable for the spread of
anarchy as soon as the control of
a military government is at all re-
laxed. President Diaz kept order
by repression from outside, not by
changing conditions internally 80
that there was economic equilib-
rum among the masses them
selves.

successful Madero revolution was

tion.' the economic watchWord WAS

President Madero has not had
the backing of the wealth and

try, without which he nor any
other man can accomplish anything
in the way of better civilization.
FOUR PER CENT MONEY
| According to Banker Wetzler
81 900 at 4 per cent interest will
amount to $20,OOO,OOO in 25O years.
The banker offers Colorado 81 900
to be kept at interest for that
length of time; then one half is to
be used to alleviate the suffering
of animals the other half goes to
the state.
1t is hoped that poverty and in
humanity to man and animals will
cease before the end of the present
century.
| Gov. Ammons is undecided what
action to take in the matter. Very
few realize the accumulative power
of money at compound interest for
any great length of time.
