I IAvD all the great inventions been

 ~ Not yet!
 "Something ere the end some work of noble note, may yet be done.'
 But the feeling overtaSes many that all the good work has been done. There is nothing new under the sun. nothing original All Is old and overlaid with the dust that has been accommodating since \the creation. We are but delivers in the iodes forsaken by our forefathers. The vein of ore has been exhausted; only the pitiful pickings are left.

 There was an exhibition of etchings by q competent man in a big city the other day. They showed "a personal view and n technique that has been developed with conscience" said one critic.
 And yet the artist wrote:
 "I shall never forget the terrible feel ing I had of coming too late, in Flor ence and venice' Every one had been there before him. and especially Whist Ter. "If one found anything at all worth the doing there he was screaming into cne's conscience a repeated protest against the stealing of his pet subjects
 But the artist persevered, and, as the critic put it. he ''settled down to work in his own way, and it turns out to be . good way. very simple, with no at- ten1pts at forcing originality"
 The moral? If your talent is so restrict ed by nature that you cannot blaze out a way for yourself be not discouraged There are honor and glory and material reward to be won in following in the foot steps of the pioneers.
 All praise to him who strives patiently and earnestly and thoroughly to perfec, himself in his art or craft even though To- knows that he will never be numbered Among the masters.
 The crowns of glory are too few to go around for such. Let snem wear instead the merited tribute of the world to those of the master architect. Each has his worthy place in the plans of the uni. verse.

 There Is an element of truth in that. But
 There Is also an obligation laid upon all older persons to help the young with advice and admonition, that the way of future experience may he made as smooth as possible.
 It's roushness cannot all be taken away In that manner-however much parents and relatives and friends may desire to insure easy travelling for the youngsters-but an implement may be provided wherewith the asperities may be tackled.

 But he is justified in asking from the preceding generations that they be marked with the red danger light Of warning.

union. The Hague Synod withheld
Endorsement pending the presentation
OF the proposed constitution for the
union of the three churches. 1t is
understood that this constitution is
now ready and will be presented to
the meeting in Sioux Falls. While
the majority of the synod have gone
on record as favoring the union of the
churches a minority is holding out
and is expected to give considerable
opposition to the union plans.
1t is proposed by the union to
eliminate the duplication of churches
and schools by gradual merging of
the congregations and institutions as
1t Is found to the best advantage OF
the new body. At present, however.
all of the institutions will be main
tanned.
Another important question to
come before the convention is the
matter OF authorizing the erection OF
a new building at the Lutheran Nor
NAL school in this city and the rails
ing of funds for its erection.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 15.-Delegates to
the triennial convention of the Synod
Norwegian Lutheran church arrived
by hundreds and every train into the
city is bringing additional groups of
delegates and visitors and the indica-
lions are that the attendance will ex-
coed all expectations.
Several important questions will
come before the present convention
for action. The chief of these Is the
matter of union with the United
Lutheran church and Hauge's Synod,
two other Norwegian Lutheran
church bodies.
For years or ever since the incep-
ton of the two other church bodies,
there have been differences of opinion
regarding doctrinal questions and the
bodies have been trying to get to-
gether, but 1t was not until in Febru-
airy of 1912, after many discourage
ments that a joint committee of the
church bodies agreed upon articles of
doctrinal Interpretation. These were
adopted by all of the bodies and at its
last meeting the United Little. an
church, the largest of the bodies,
adopted the proposed articles Of

BYRNE REPLIES
Gives Reasons Why He viii Not Meet
Richards I'm Joint Debate,

Pierre, Oct. 15.-Gov. Byrne was
busy at his desk in the state house
when he was asked by a reporter in
regard to Richards challenge. He
said: Mr.. Richards, finding his au-
diences small, and in many instances,
absent, and little or no interest in his
candidacy, doubtless would like to
liyen it up a bit and provide some
drawing card for his meetings, / am
giving no attention to 1t. In the first
place, | am giving but little time to
campaigning. So far just seven days,
two in Minnehaha county, two in
Brown county and recently a three
days trip in the northern part of the
state. shall devote some time be-
tween now and election to the cam
paign, off and on. as my public duties
will permit. | now have dates and
arrangements for about eight or ten
addresses, which probably is all
shall have time to deliver before cleo
ton.
Again, If Mr.. Richards should be
as reckless in his statements in a
joint discussion as he is in those reg
ularly made by him, such discussion
would be neither agreeable nor edi-
flying.
He says he wants to discuss some
matters in dispute regarding taxation
and / suppose, thus give color to his
pretense that this Is a real issue In
the gubernatorial campaign. No ma
terial change in methods of taxation
can come until we amend the consti.
tuition. My position on this Is well
known-not only by words, but by
works also. Twice as a member OF
the state senate / participated in sub.
hitting to the vote OF the people an
amendment to article III of the consti.
tuition that would allow the people &c
make any desired change in the
method of assessing property, and
which provided for a graduated, pro
gressive income tax, with proper ex.
emptions. There is now pending, or
my recommendation, a proposition
for the people to vote on calling q
convention to revise the constitution
If this carries the people can put int
the constitution any tax provision
they see fit.

FARM CROSSING
First Complaint Filed Against Rail
road Company.

Pierre, Oct. 1.-THE first com
plant has been filed with the state
railway commissioner for a complaint
with the provisions of Chapter 295,
laws of 1913, and a call and demand
has been issued upon the manage
ment of the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company, for a compliance.
This act attempts to fix the name In
which a farm crossing across a rail
way track can be secured, and as the
railway company is declining to COM
ply with the provisions, ii no doubt
means a test case. Apparently the
law is somewhat indefinite in some of
its provisions, and the demand of the
Turner county farmers who want the
farm crossings for wing fences and
cattle guards" at their farm crossings
is considered as more than the roads
expect or intend to give to such a
crossing il they can avoid 1t. The
law also incidentally contemplates
that farmers must keep the gates to
such crossings closed when not In
USE" but no other provisions of the
act except that language provides for
gates.

THE WAR
SUMMARY OF THE PROGRESS OF
POSSIBILITIES PREPARED BY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. 15.-Special: The
operations in Belgium are now of
first Importance. for the Germans,
having captured Antwerp and occu-
pied Client, are pushing forward to
the coast. 7fM
Although all communication with
Client is reported to have been cut,
news has filtered through that the
Germans are being opposed by the
allies vigorously and that in an en-
gagement to the south of Client
about 600 German dead were left on
the field. other engagements have
occurred in this neighborhood, where
the Belgian army, which ~retreated
from Antwerp, has undergone reor-
ganization.
The French and British, according
to the latest French official communi-
cation, are successfully holding back
the German right wing, which recent
ly has been heavily reinforced. In
deed, the French lay claim to notable
progress both on their left wing and
IN the center.
The Belgian government has been
removed to Havre, the Belgian Of
icials already having reached the
French port, where they were given
a cordial welcome. King Albert, who
has spent the last six weeks or more
in and around the trenches, remains
with his army.
The Berlin official statement an
nounces that 10000 Belgians are
still in Atwerp as prisoners. 1t adds
that 10000 Russians have been killed
or wounded near Przemysl, the Aus
trian stronghold in Galicia, from
which the Russians have r~etreated.
While only recently the Russian
authorities admitted that the Rus
sian forces had been withdrawn from
Przemysl, a late dispatch from the
Russian capital says it is officially
announced that the siege of that
fortress is progressing. The state.
ment from Berlin regarding the stu.
alton in the Woevre district in the
onrtheast of France, contradicts that
given out by the French war depart.
ment, claiming that all the French
attacks at st. Mihiel have been re.
pulsed. Berlin declares also thai
there is heavy fighting in the Argonne
and reports vigorous attacks by the
allies in the neighborhood of Sois,
sons, which have been repulsed.
A feature of the war of the nations
which has caused some concern, In
Great Britain at least, is the reported
revolt in South Africa. Some of the
Beers under Col. Maritz, a veteran o.
the South African war, have Joined
forces with the Germans and as 6
consequence martial law has been de.
elared throughout the union o.
South Africa, with the promise of the
South African government that the
most stringent measures will be ap.
piled TO put down the movement
against the empire.
