BIG RETURNS AT SlSSETON

sisseton, 8. D., March 27.--The sue
cess Of the municipal saloon at Sisseton
has caused Liany OF the towns In he
state to investigate the proposition
for of emulating Sisseton'B
example,. The investigation q re-
vealed the fact that two men, interest
ed in the regulation of the liquor traf-
fic, joined together, took up the two
licenses granted h town under the
200, to /" law, merged their interests
and have been conducting a most prof.
table business for the community.
The result has been that within six
months checks for $4,000 have been
turned into the city treasury, and an
other check for $4,000 has been turned
into the good roads fund of the town;
this in addition to paying the $4,000 for
the two licenses. 1t is estimated that
fully i loco viii be cleared up by the
venture the first year, all OF which VIII
go into the public treasury.

They wore long hair, and talked
through their noses, but they were
guided by a watchword that the ma
ton needs to learn-the watchword
of duty. They had the courage of
strong convictions and their ideals
were high. We have only to look
around us to see their monuments.
1t is easy to pick flaws in the very

SINS AND VIRTUES.

The apparent attack upon the men,
ory of the pilgrims, made by John
D. Long, an ex-secretary of the treas
ury, some years ago, cannot be for
gotten by the Massachusetts press.
That trite adage that time cures all
ills does not seem to apply in this
particular instance. 1t will doubt
less be remembered by many readers of
The Observer that, standing near the
famous rock where the pilgrims land
ed, the assertion was made that
"there were grafters among these
fathers of the republic;' that with.
in a decade social vices infested the
community and drunkenness, licen-
tiousneSS and even worst crimes we're
common. from which statement the
conclusion was drawn that "no vii
lage in New England need fear a
comparison with the early pilgrim col
ony."
While these words burn deeply into
the pride of those who still hover un-
der the shadow of that distinguished
rock. Long doubtless told the truth.
and the sooner the press of Massa-
chusetts becomes reconciled to it or
forgets the unpleasantness of the
statement the better. All of that
brave company were not saints. The
pilgrims were made of common clay.
As in all other communities. the peo-
pie were good, bad and indifferent.
Everybody knows that when the farm
ers were weak in numbers they treat
ed the Indians fairly. When they be-
came more strong they visited ven
geance upon the tribes, a vengeance
that spared neither the aged, helpless
warrior nor the innocent uapoose.
Later on they hanged the yritrke, and |
drove Roger Williams into the will
