DeGroff's Jewellery
Is Very Busy Cente,

one of the interesting trade cen
ters these days is u. u. DeGroff's
iewelry store at 116 East Kemp.
Mr.. DeGroff, who is a jeweler OF
twenty years experience, has made
1t a practice to hold an auction sale
every year, about the first Of Jan.
uary. He maintains that it means an
increase both in business and friends.
This year, because of the scarcity
of funds the country over, Mr.. De.
Croft is holding the sale al an earlier
date.
Everything in the store is on sale,
from the pretty, faddy things to the
articles OF necessity.
This affords the people Of Water
town and vicinity an opportunity to
get goods in the iewelry line al
greatly reduced prices. Mr.. DeGroff
gives his personal guarantee with
every purchase,

WAY o Now7

"And now they tell u.s." declares the
Florence Forum, that Geo. w. Egan
has announced that he will be a can
didate for the republican nomination
for governor Of this state in 1916.
Probably he has, but what is the use
of getting excited over something
that won't come to an issue for two
years?"
There's some logic in what the
Forum says, but at the same time the
usual custom has been to say nothing
about politics excepting during the
actual progress Of the campaigns,
during which the especial champions
Of a candidate chime sycophantic eX-
altation and c~fferyescent a%dulation,
while his enemies urn loose the bat
teries Of mud and slime.
Then nobody knows what to be.
lieve, and in many cases wouldn't be
lleve it If everybody knaw it to be so,
Well discuss taxes and taxation
during the progress of campaigns, but
at other times we maintain a dense
silence with respect to how much
money we fork over for public pur-
poses or what Is done with it after 1t
is separated from US.
The campaign is over for 1914, and
the campaign of 1916 will not be upon
us for a year and a half, it is true.
But wouldn't it be better if we now
and then discussed these things
talked about the possible candidates
and about our taxes and what's done
with the money, and so enduring
the lull of the battle?
II George w. Egan, OF Peter Nor
beck. or Frank NJ, Byrne, OF any other
man, either should or should not be
chosen for the exalted position Of
governor of South Dakota, his merits
and dement's could be brought out
with better grace durig the time whom
the smoke of battle is not in the pub
lie nostrils.
The Saturday News would not in
wife a continuous campaign, but it has
seen the folly OF attempting unduly
TO exalt or severely to condemn dur
ing the heat of battle.
II for any special reason Mr.. Egan
is not the mar for the g~overnorship,
why not discuss his merits now While
people are not unduly excited?
IL Peter Norbeck is not the man
:5r the governorship, for any special
reason, could not that fact be better
impressed Upon the public mind by
calm, iudicious discussions of his
merits and dement's before the smoke
of battle begins TO hecloud the vision
of both his friends and his foes?
In other words, isn't 1t a mistake
TO wait until the campaign generates
an excess of heat before calling at
tention TO either the strength or the
weakness of a candidate?
