Money in Cattle Raising

Last week the Standard had
few words to say on Roberts
county and the stock raising
proposition. The following from
the Huron Huronite is right to
the point along this line:
In the Blunt Advocate there is
the story of a northern Hughes
county man who has just shipped
fifty steers forty of them 3.year
olds and ten of them 2-year-
olds-to the Chicago market
where he sold them for $500 per
steer, $4,000 for the bunch.
Last year the same man, Charles
johnson, sold twenty-five head
of cattle for $1,000.
According to the figures of
the Advocate it cost Mr.. johnson
less than $1OO to raise the
seventy=two steers that brought
him $1,000. They were raised
and made ready for the market
on the wild grass of the prairie,
which furnishes food all winter
and does not have to be cut and
stacked and spread out for the
cattle to eat.
Mr.. Johnson's grass privileges
are probably better than the
grass privileges of stock growers
in some other localities, as the
Medicine creek region has a
cattle raising fame that reaches
beyond the settlement of the
country.
But in all portions of South
Dakota results approximating
his success can be attained with
the native winterfeed, reinforced
by alfalfa, corn and the silo.
So what is the use of expend-
ing time, money and energy in
the production of the always
disappointing wheat crop, when
something sure can be grown in
the form of beef and pork?
South Dakota is the richest
domain in the west when the pur-
poses for which it was fashioned
are invoked.

License Fee Not
Double Taxation
Supreme Court Justice Policy
Gives Opinion in Auto
mobile Case,

In the habeas corpus applica-
tion of William Hoffert, from
Miner county, in test OF the
automobile license act, in the
opinion by Justice Policy, tn"
question of Double taxation"
which was made one of the main
features of the case, is disposed
of by the holding that the license
fee required is not double tax
alton, for the reason that it is a
fee for use of the highways, and
not charge against either the
machine ITSELF. nor the owner
thereof. That the individual
may own any number of motor
driven vehicles, and so long as
he confines their use to his own
premises, the license fee does
not apply. either to him as an
individual, nor to the machine
which he owns. 1t applies only
to the use of such motor driven
vehicle upon the highways of the
state, and as such is a police
regulation and not a revenue
measure as contended by the ap-
plicant. That the fee so collected
goes into a road fund and notinto
the general funds for general use.
That it is we'll known fact that
motor driven vehicles which
travel the highways at a high
speed are more destructive to
highways than are horse driven
vehicles. and that their use ma
terially increase the expense to
the public in maintenance of such
highways, aud that it is neither
unreasonable nor unjust to ask
those who cause this additional
expense upon the public to help
pay the increased cost, placed
upon the public by their use.

JOHN BURROUGHS FOR SUFFRAGE
John Burroughs, the distin-
guished poet, naturalist and
philosopher, strongly favors wo-
man suffrage, as is shown by the
following letter lately received
by Miss Lucy Stanton, an officer
in the Equal Suffrage Club of
Athens, Ca:
THE stamp on your letter
(vote for women) is what I shall
do whenever / have a chance.
And the chance is coming and it
is not far off. Woman suffrage
is in line with the evolution of the
race, and it is bound to come. I
favor it because it would so
enlarge the sphere of women's
interests and activities and so
extend the sphere of their benign
and elevating influence. would
like to see our politics with an
infusion of the feminine element:
it would womanize the state a
little, and seek to relieve it of
some of it's hard, masculine, mer-
cenary character. Then [ know
that the prospect of woman suf-
frage makes all the brewers and
whiskey makers and saloon
keepers sleep uneasily III their
beds.
Let the good fight go on. You
will surely win at last. Always
sincerely, JOHN BURROUGHS. I"

brought in about 800 more, which
made things look rather serious.
Two hundred special police were
sworn in to help keep order.
The men lay down on the side
walk and refused to get up. The
fire department was called out
aud streams of water were turn
ed upon them with good results
but was productive of much pro-
family.
According to Aberdeen papers
the authorities forbade any pub.
lie speeches to be made. This
order was violated by woman
agitator belonging to the outfit
and she and a dozen or more of
her companions were lodged in
Jail.
Farmers who tried to engage
harvest hands were interfered
with and it was agreed by these
men that no one would work for
less than $3 or 81 day and
board.
The Aberdeen American of
Tuesday says: Asaresult of the
good Judgment and clever gen.

and Aberdeen's streets are free
from the crowds of troublesome
hoboes and l. w. w. agitators.

Tragedy Due to Booze
Grant County Man Accused of
MansIaughter at Dance.

ard last week:
Another tragedy, the result of
our old friend Booze. was enact
ed in kilborn township last week.
On Friday evening barn dance
was given at the barn of Louis
Schuler, and the inspiring beer
keg was in such complete evi-
dence that several encounters
took place. with John Barleycorn
as the principal fighting force.
1t was between two and three
O'Clock in themorning when near
ly all of the participants in the
dance had gone home that the
tragedy occurred which has re
suited in the death of one man
and the arrest of another on
charge of manslaughter.
Henry Schultz an unmarried
man about 25 years OF age who
lives with his father and mother
on farm near Corona, and
Henry Ferber, who has been
resident of kilbcrn township
for a quarter of a century, were
among those whOlingere0 around
the beer keg after most OF the
others had gone home.
According to evidence sub
mitted at coroner's jury summon
ed by Coroner Flet Sunday afer-
noon, it appears that Schultz
had been engaged in a rough and
tumble fight with one Rolf, and
had gotten the worst of it, and
leaving his former antagonist
had come over ard struck Henry
Ferber, who had taken no part
in the melee, but was standing
near by. The blow nearly
knocked Ferber from his feet,
but recovering himself he flew
at Schultz and soon had him
down on his back, and it is said
would have choked him to death
if others had not interfered and
pulled the men apart.
Peace seemed to be restored,
and Ferber was away from
Schultz, and assisting one of his
friends with a horse and buggy
when Schultz rushed over to
Ferber and kicked him in the
abdomen. Ferber started to
walk to Chas. Ferber's on an
adjoining farm where he had
stabbed his horse, accompanied
by two little nephews, twelve or
fourteen years of age, who stat.
ed that their uncle was obliged
to stop in his walk and lay on the
ground for half an hour because
of the pain in his stomach. He
arrived at his home on the Gus
Ferber farm and went to bed,
but shortly after he called his
brother and asked him to call a
doctor, stating that one of the
horses had kicked him when he
went to the barn to close the
door. He later confessed that
he was not kicked by a horse,
but told the story because he
did not wish his brother to
know that he had been in trouble
at the dance. DR.. Carlton of
Twin Brooks was summoned,
but on examination as there was
no outward mark of a blow, and
his respiration and pulse We're
about normal, he left some pow.

family to call him later if he
should not improve. The patient

MESSAGE HARD TO INTERPRET
Commentators Differ as to the "Wom
an JezebeI" in the Third Chap
ter of Revelation.

AS to the message to the church in
Thyatira, in the third chapter of the
book of Revelation, it is an obscure
and diff cult one to interpret, since We
know so little of the prevalent GUS
toms and heresies of that time Com
mentators differ as to the woman
JeZebel," some claiming that she was
a heather priestess, who stood for all
manner of licentious rites and evil
leader of the Nicolaitans, a division
of the church that claimed to be none
the less Christian because it tolerated
some heather customs, like eating
meat offered to idols, offering incense
to the statue of the emperor, joining
social clubs, which were numerous in
those days, and which often fostered
much debauchery and even licentious-
ness Many of these clubs were con-
nected with the trade guilds, and on
this account Thyatira which was ia
nous for these guilds, offered special
temptations to the Christians who be-
longed to these guilds, to condone,
l.
Christian practices of many of the
members.
The praise accorded in the first part
of the message to the church of Thy
atira seems to give color to this inter
probation, for the Son of God himself
says: Il know thy works, and love,
and service and faith, and that thy
last works are more than the first"
1t is thought by many that the Nj
colaitans, though their doctrines were
wrong, and their complaisance toward
the practices of their heather neigh
bors was most dangerous, yet were
still active in good works, and per-
haps We'd with their stricter and more
turitanical church members in acts
of benevclence and subscriptions to
all good causes so that the last
works were more than the first"

He OF GREAT FAITH
SOWer Who Dares to Go Forth
Unquestioning, Scattering
Seeds of Truth.

Among all the figures which loom
out of the words of Jesus with per
manent interest for us there is none
that is more significant than the SOW
er who went forth to SOW. Across the
field of imagination this toiler ever
passes, never rests. With his bag
upon his shoulder, his arm forever
sweeping the half-circle as he walks,
and the seed forever falling from his
hand, he is silhouted against the hori
zon of the world. He incarnates a
principal He personifies a process.
He fixes in the thought Of man the
way of God. Behold a sower went
forth to SOW That was his task. He
did not make the soil on which his
seed fell. He saw the rocks, the
thorns, the thin soil and the hard soil.
He knew that much of his seed would
never fructify. He saw the birds as
they picked up the kernels after him.
Perhaps he even thought the birds
had a right to a share. Of course
he understood that sun and rain
would try the tender plants. He also
understood that the harvest was on
the other side of summer He need
ed not to be told that he must wait,
and that his seed must take its
chances with all the vicissitudes of
seasons and weather
Believed In the Earth.
But he trusted nature. In spite of
stones and thOrns and thin soil and
hard soil, he believed in the earth.
He believed enough to act. He was
not one of those who wait that they
may serve. He took his promise from
creation Beneath the variations Of
the days and nights he felt the thrill
Of spring He rested in the deeper
processes. He had faith that all the
world would change beneath the &C.
centricities of wind and shower and
heat and light And so he sowed.
And SO he went forth to SOW, seeking
the soil in which to cast his prophe@
cies of future increase. For all seed
sowing is prophecy, and all seed
sewers are seers who b1de their time
in the promises of life. If there were
more prophets there would be more
seed-sowing in the world And If
there were more who understood the
law of increase as it works every
where there would be fewer foolish
questions asked of those who SOW the
seed, For those who demand harvest
before the seed has time to sprOut
and grow are spiritually near-sighted.
The noblest symbol of great faith is
one who dares to go forth unquestion-
ing, scattering seeds of truth and
right and peace and love, knowing
that stones and thorns and unrespon-
sive soil are there, yet also knowing
that the earth is the Lords, that some
how seedtime and harvest are insep-
arabic, and that when the summer is
past the reaper will surely find fields
of ripening grain where he sowed his
seed.-Universalist Leader
