Col. Roosevelt is wrong in placing

tion that it would not do for the
United States to agree to arbitrate
questions of national honor. II an ex-
ception of that kind were made. ey-
cry question coming up would prob.
ably be construed as one of national
honor. The term is too elastic. For
that matter, every dispute does, to an
extent, involve the national honor.
indeed what is regarded by many
az national honor is nothing more
than the spirit that provokes street
corner brawls. Any way, we can bet

national honor once in a while tnan

AGAINST DOUBLE TAXATION.

II we may believe the State
Grange, an organization of farmers
which met at Bookings last week. il
is not true that the farmers of the
state are clamoring for taxation of
mortgages. AT least the members of
this organization know double taxa
ton when they soc it, and when the
time comes for a revision Of the tax
alton system as provided by the con
~stitution and laws OF this state. the
Intelligent members of the Grange
will be found protesting against a
tax which, il enforced, would mean
that borrowers OF this state would be
compelled to pay taxes twice on prop.
erty they do not own. The Grange
refers to such n practice as triple tax
alton, once for the equity owned,
once for the balance of the property
assessed, which has not yet been paid
for. and once on the money borrowed
to- carry the unpaid portion OF the
property's value. Following are the
resolutions adopted by the Grange on
this subject:
whereas, 1t is reported that our
tax commission proposes to tax mort
cages to the full amount OF mort
gage. And,
whereas, 1t is q we'll known ak
ION that the borrower is servant to
the lender 1t Is also a we'll known
TACT, that there is more demand for
money Tor development and produc-
tion by agriculture in South Dakota,
IMAM there Is money offered to loan,
hence the borrower must accept the
Terms or the lender. The following
clause is in the mortgage notes OF the
lender in South Dakota, and will be

soon as that policy is adopted, The

sessments OF any kind within the

interest that his competitors in 9th
er states has to will be still further
handicapped. And,
Whereas, Under the svs-

in every county to ascertain
the full selling value. And,

the equity in the property, that is the
difference between the selling value
and the mortgage.

double taxation; and il in addition he
IT, taxed on the mortgage, it will be
triple taxation, as compared with the
farmer who owns his farm free of

opposed to the taxation of mortgages,

her many friends when she ex-

debutante's gown for the heavy serge
of the postulant.
She gives her life. for women and
children, her heart and her soul to
Christ. Knowing nothing of life's
bitterness, her veins thrilled with the
sweet warm wine of young life, life
opened wide vista of wondrous de-
lights peopled with laughing nymphs
and radiant with golden sunshine.
Hope whispered her sweetest fairy
tales and at her white breast nestled
the winged God pressing the pnme-
granate to her warm lips. But be-
yond the golden dreams of the child
she saw realities that startled the
girlish visions from her eyes forever.
In the golden blaze of a worlds glory
she heard the low wall of lost wom-
en-. In the voices of culture and
sweet laughter she heard the gasping
cry of agony and bitter curse of de-
spair from the sick, the abandoned,
the outcast; from the gardens of
pleasure bright as her girlish eyes
she turns with 1ove's caress to save
the child for God as it lay covering
face downward upon the thorns of
ignorance. Her girl life she crucifies
upon a cross for women and for chill
dren; her reward on earth the pale
sunshine riven by an upright cross.
Brave girl, when busy in hospitals

darh valley and shadow of death to

Halloween Reform.

Since Halloween. eve with all its

traditions, that the boys and girls are
for this one night turned loose and
expected to develop all the old Adam
in them, and raise Hellenbrandes,
sidewalks and other things too hor-
rid and contemplate to be tolerated
in civilized country, and since our
paradise city is noted for it's morality
and reforms, why can't all the school
teachers and preachers urge decid-
ed reform and encourage the organ
ization of societies or clubs to find
out between now and Halloween eve
where, on that night, or day, they
can do some one favor-some
lonely old lady or gentleman, or sick
person, or poor, that could be helped
and start the fad of doing some good
and cultivate the higher faculties in
stead of the baser qualities OF our
degenerate natures?
There is at least one society, and
maybe others for aught I know, or
ganized for this very purpose, at
least to carry out these virtues dur
ing the year, and l would suggest
that they apply these same good prin-
ciples on this much-dreaded Hallow-
cen and thereby set the example for
others. The name of this society is
"The Knights of King Arthur" and
last spring when l was sick this So
ciety came at night and did me a
very great favor which l shall never
forget. Macy Doran was one of the

loyal citizen of our beautiful city will
