Why a Revolutionlst Committed
Suicide Near Moscow.

ION March 4, at 6 o'clock in the
morning, an unknown man was found
hanged near Moscow. Later it was
learned that he was Nicholas Rika-
chev, a student of the Moscow Techni-
cal School. In the side pocket Of the
dead mans coat was a passport and a
letter addressed as follows: To my
mother: Please notify her Of my death
as gently as possible
IN the letter he begged forgiveness
for the grief caused to his relatives by

his suicide. He also asked that no one
be blamed for his death. adding that
he had lost his ideals. that he COM
mitted many follles, and that all roads
were closed to him; that life was for
the strong and the firm, but not for
unworthy people like himself
"Rikachev had attracted the attention
OF the police since autumn by his re-
lations with people who were regarded
az politically indispensable. A secret
investigation disclosed that the deceased
student had belonged to the typograph-
ical group Of the Moscow Social Dem
ocrats, who carried on an agitation
among the local working people and
who took an active part In the work
of the organization by reproducing nu-
merous Illegal proclamations."

Through the courtesy of the Mitchell
Republican the Register is this week
running the cuts of the three republi-
can candidates for governor, together
with a short write-up of their political
careers. The Register is a newspaper
and we believe in giving all of the
news of all factions and parties, and
our columns are always open for the
discussion of politics or other subjects
of interest.
The farmers of South Dakota who
desire information regarding alfalfa
culture are at liberty to write the
agronomy department of the State Col
lege at any time they deem 1t neces,
sary. The agronomy department re-
ceives hundreds of letters every month
asking for information and they are al
ways answered. The same is true of
the veterinary, dairy and other de-
partments of the college.
Geo. F. Thayer arrived home Satur.
day evening from Rochester, Mimi,
where he was operated upon some
time ago. The operation was a critical
one, but Mr. Thayer came through it
in good shape and is now getting along
very well. 1t is expected that his re-
turn home will hasten his recovery and
the Register sincerely hopes so. We
used to enjoy his cheerful visits, even
though he is not very well informed
on the alfalfa question.
Farmers who wish their diseased po-
tatoes examined by an expert and
suggestions for handling potato
troubles, should write to H. S. Coe,
plant pathologist of the State College.
Upon receipt of their letter he will
send a franked tag which will allow
farmers to ship samples of their po.
tatoes without charge. About fifty po-
tato growers have already availed
themselves of this ~service-many
others should respond at once.
Quite a number of farmers accepted
the invitation of the Commercial Club
to make themselves at home at the
Club rooms this week. These
rooms are maintained at a con-
siderable expense for the use of
the members and their out of town
friends, and local residents are ex-
pected to join the club If they wish to
use the rooms. Farmers and other out
of town people, however, are urged to
make use of the rooms at all times.
A well known citizen of a neighbor-
ing town remarked to us the other
day that he didn't see how the cry of
high taxation would make much head
way in Bookings. "Six or eight years
ago." said he, your college had about
$50 students, today it has between
500 and 900, and Is an institution of
which Bookings and the whole state
may be proud. Now, how in the name
of common sense is 1t going to be run
as cheaply as it was eight years ago.
especially as some splendid buildings,
which are no doubt badly needed, have
been added since that time? Other in

and it takes money t support Them"

RETURNING TO THE G. o. p.

Indiana, the old doubtful state,
which for years has been regarded as
the barometer Of any approaching po-
htical change, is pointing emphatical-
ly to republican victory this fall. Car
ried by republicans In recent years In
which they were successful, 1t swung
SO strongly democratic, two years
ago, that It wiped out the entire re-
publican congressional delegation
which had been so prominent in the
nations affairs.
The recent primaries in the Hoosier
state tell a palmer story than can
well be expressed In words Of the
direction in which the Indiana politi-
cal tide Is drifting and drifting rapid
ly. The primary vote revealed almost
startling republican gains and cores
pending progressive and democratic
losses. Perhaps the most significant
feature of the result of the primaries
this far is the terrific slump in the
bull moose vote. For instance, in
Lake county, in which Is located the
industrial city OF Gary. the progress
sive vote dropped from 1858 in 1912
to mere $50 IN this years primary.
The democratic vote dwindled from
5,l36 in 1912 to 2,25o, and the repub-
lican vote increased from SIG TO
over $500.

can chairman, reports that his adj
