The District Commissioners are soon

LES TO SPEED FOR BIG
PARADE.

Under the auspices of the autmo-
bile dealers of Mitchell, two days of
races for automobiles and motoroyc-
les will be held in June at Hitchcock
park. The definite date for the
speed events has not been determin-
ed.
AT Il meeting of the motor dealers
of the city last evening, it was de-
termined to hang up cash purses az
gregating about $4,000 for two after
moons OF races. Only two moneys
will be given in each event, mtkingf
the competition more than unusually
keen.
IL of the attractions which the
dealers hope to secure for the races
is the presence OF some OF the best
drivers of the country. A number
will be wriving through Seut Ii Da-
kota, enroute from Fargo. N. n. to
Sioux City, in June, and it is believ-
ed that the cash prizes will be suffi
Gent Inducements for them to parti-

PRIEST HITS
DRUNKENNESS
FATHER MONAHAN DECLARES
THAT EVIL IS AT BOTTOM OF
DEGENERATION,

DRUNKENNESS was denounced at the
greatest sin that MAJ could be guilty
OF, In the stirring sermon by Rev.
NJ. t. Mcmahon last evening in the
mission service at the Holy Family
Catholic church. Father Monahan de-
clared that it caused more degrading
evils than any other thing.
The priest was at his best last ey-
ening, and drew a graphs picture of
the suffering in a drunkard's home
md the intense evils which result
from drunkenness. The sermon was
an effective denunciation of the evil
and perhaps the most dramatic of any
Of the series.
In response to n of the questions
Rev. Father Monahan declared that
the only reason the Roman Catholic
church had not forbidden drinking
was that no scriptural foundation
could be found. He stated That the
church had always been firm on the
question of temperance and had CON
tinually preached it.
No solution of the regulation of
the liquor traffic was offered by
rather Monahan, who declared that
local conditions and the individual
fecting a remedy. He regarded this
phase as a matter entirely outside
the topic discussed.

A SUCCESSFUL CONTEST.

The Republican has but one regret
over the popular voting contest clos
ed Saturday evening, and that is that
it was not possible to award the au-
tomobile to every n OF the confess
tants who received n considerable
vote. That, of course, is clearly i'm
possible except with a wealthy philan.
thropist, and it is a matter of history
that newspaper publishers do not be
come wealthy, however philanthropie
they may be.
The important thing about such a
voting contest is TO exercise every
~precaution to make it absolutely and
unqualifiedly fair and honest. This
was done literally throughout the
contest just closed. In one particular
especially was the plan of this contest
fair TO those whose friends put them
into the running from the start. This
managers who offer a big lot of extra
votes right at the last of the contest,
There is nothing dishonest about
that, but it is not exactly fair to those
who have been in the contest from
the beginning and have received
many of their votes before the finish

earlier in the contest. In the contes
just closed, however, the largest mum
Der of extra votes was announce
more than a month before the end o
the contest and reduced within tel
days afterward. From that time o.
the number was lowered, SO tina

Zee, composed of the secretary of the
treasury, the secretary of agricul-
and the comptroller 81 the cur
concluded to order the MAXI
mum number of banks allowed under
and twelve could have been designat-
ed. The committee evidently conclud-
that the country would be better
served by the larger number of banks.
1t is true that a smaller number
would have given a larger amount Of
capital to each of the banks. But on
the other hand, the stability OF these.
fereral reserve banks will be judged
by the public not so much upon the
capital stock of each. as upon their
combined strength and the fact that
the federal government is behind
them.
The Republican believes that this
committee performed its duties in the
preliminary organization in a highly
.commendable spirit. 1t believes that
they were not actuated by a single i'm
proper motive. 1t believes that no one
could have influenced them for any
selfish purpose. 1t believes that they
have acted in the most conscientious
manner and with full realization of
the grave responsibility placed upon
them. .4assst 10
That such centers as Dallas, Rich
mond, Atlanta and Cleveland should
have been designated may be taken
as evidence that the committee con-
sidered the convenience of the terri
tory to be served by each bank,
rather than the ambitions of large
cities to be awarded the new banks.
That places like New Orleans, Seat
tie, Denver and Omaha Should have
been left off the list means simply
that the committee found that the,

by other centers.

CONCERT HEARD BY LARGE
CROWD YESTERDAY AT THE
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

Inc recital of pipe organ numbers
by Mrs. l.. II. Raber and the songs by
the quartet of Mrs. w. C. Bracket,
Mrs. j. A. Erler, Mrs. Samuel Weir
and Mrs. II. c. Raines, proved to be a
musical treat of excellence TO the
large crowd which filled the Congre-
gational edifice.
One of the features of the organ
numbers by Mrs. Raber, who was an
organist of note at churches in Auro-
ra, ILL.,, and Des Moines, Ia, were
TWO original compositions. One of
these The Triumphall March" was a
stirring composition which showed
the tonal qualities of the instrument
under her capable handling. Mrs.
Raber is a master of the instrument
and showed rare sympathy with the
composers represented on the pro-
gram.
The quartet, which comprises some
of the best singers in the city, supple
mented the organ numbers with some
beautiful songs. The afternoons pro-

resulted from the contest. 1t was
large before, but it has been the pol
icy of the management TO believe that
nothing is too good for the adyertis-
ers who use the columns of The Re

never be relaxed. 1t is South Dakota's
best daily and an ever larger number
of people are recognizing this fact
by making 1t their daily.

speeches to assist Loucks. Similar
announcements in behalf of various
other candidates have been made in
times past. But up to date LaFol-
lette has apparently considered that
the candidate entitled to all the SER
vices of LaFollette is LaFollette him
self. He has troubles enough of his
own without trying to elect all the
members of the United States Senate.
And it is Just possible that he doesn't
consider it exactly an act of propriety
to attempt any such task.

Up to date congress has not sue
ceeded in changing a single purpose
of President Wilson. Not in one in
stance has all that large body of
capable men been able to throw any
light upon any subject that would
convince him that he had been wrong.
There can be TO question that he con
siders his information and his judg-
ment just as good as the combined
judgment and Information of the $50
odd Senators and Representatives. A
recent Illustration of this was found
in the opposition of the Senate to the
appointment by the president of Win
throp Daniels of New Jersey as a
member of the interstate commerce
commission. 1t was shown by pro.
gressive members of the Senate that
Daniels had made an exceedingly gen
erous valuation of a gas company's
plant in his home state, when serving
on a board of arbitration. Indeed 81
strong became the pressure that Dan
iels asked the president to Withdraw
his nomination. This the president re
fused to do. There should be no sus
picion of the fitness Of any memoe
of so tremendously important a bod.
as the commerce commission. TIL
president should have allowed Dan
iels to withdraw his own name.
