A Suggestion.

Contemplating the discussion at the
Forum Is Higher Education for the
Negro worth while?" we suggest that
none be allowed to enter the discus
sion except those who possess "That
Higher Education" After years of
listening to futile discussions by per-
sons unqualified and other educated
labels, many fail to attend because of
these arguments and welcome the day
when practical talks or lay sermons,
on Health, Homes, Finance, Manners,
Children ETC., will become an inn
portant part of the Forums program;
we will then be able to interest the
masses instead of the classes.

Mrs. Sylvester o. Phelps reports
that the children at the Attacks Home
in St. Paul, had nice Thanksgiving
dinner. She collected donations and
made it merry for for inmates. We
should help the unfortunate children
while at this so called institution, but
it is menace to the public, and the
best hustling proposition in the Twin
Cities for the dishonest management.
There is plan on foot to check up
the money given to this Home by
business men, and there will be many

explanation was followed by singing
which added to the beauty of the oc-
casion.
Stanley Jones, superintendent of
the electric light company, Saturday
evening turned the arc switch and
lighted the streets to make it possible
for people to attend the Senator
G%allinger meeting at the opera house.
Rain had fallen throughout the day,
the streets were muddy, the sky was
heavily clouded, and without the
street lights it would have been next
to impossible for the ladies to attend
the great meeting. Mr.. Jones re-
ceived the thanks of hundreds of peo-
pie who were out Saturday evening,
and his generous act will long be ap-
~preciated by the people and taxpayers
of Madison who would cheerfully pay
for the permanent lighting of the
streets if the city council would mag
unanimously give them the opportu-
nifty. We hope the day is not far
distant when our fathers who art in
the city hall will be brought from
darkness to light.

horses of q certain standard weight,
color and age will be accepted for
purchase at several points in central
and western South Dakota from Oc-
tober IL to II, the last date being
at this city, the first at Belle Fourche.
While the announcement does not
state what use the horses are for,
the purchases are being made for a
Winnipeg firm of dealers. and the
agent says that so long as they are
required to come up to the standards
for cavalry horses, he would not be
surprised il that Is what is wanted

The most active nva appears
to be that of the different candidates
for governor, so far in the campaign,
Gov. Byrne has a program laid out
which will take up most OF his time
from now to the date of the election.
r. o. Richards has a program for
himself which will mean an active
campaign for all the time left, and
he will move as rapidly as possible,
his plan being to talk to as many peo-
pie individually as he possibly can
before the election. j. w. McCarter,
the democratic candidate, is out at
work and making his talks over the
state, these three candidates appar-
emily intending to get as much time
In as possible. As to other candi-
dates, Ii now appears that Burke
would not get out from Washington
until about ELECTION time, and that
the other candidates, Johnson and
Loucks are to have the campaign to
themselves so far as speaking is con-
cerned, while Burke will do his cam
paigning from Washington and
through his friends who are numer-
Gus and active.

Some Good Teams to Play at Sioux
Falls During Season.

Sioux Falls, Oct. IA st. Paul
high school football team will play
the Washington high school squad
on Thanksgiving day, November 26,
according to word received by Coach
Stuart of the local high school. The
acceptance by the ST. Paul team for
that date completes the football
schedule for the Washington high
school for this year, Yankton having
practically decided to play Sioux
Falls on October 10.
The first game of the season will
be played Saturday afternoon, when
the Pipestone Indians will meet the
local team. Coach Stuart expects to
do considerable shifting of players in
every quarter during the first game
to try them out in different positions
and in this way give every man like
ly to get a first team place a chance
to show what he can do. The back
field that will start in the Pipestone
game will probably include ole
Wangsness, fullback; Grant, left half,
and Hawley, right half, with either
Reed OF Feyder at the quarter posi-
ton. Meisenhelder, iKner and Best
are in line for the end positions and
will probably alternate. Rosenberg
who sustained a twisted shoulder
during scrimmage last week, has not
yet fully recovered.
October "a Is the date of the foot
ball game between the universities of
Notre Dame and South Dakota at
Sioux Falls, after both teams have
played several of the biggest games
on their schedules. and because of
this fact great interest throughout
the east and northwest will be cen
tered upon the outcome of that game.
The South Dakota team will play
both Minnesota and Nebraska univer-
stiles previous TO playing Notre Dame
whose team will come to Sioux Falls
the Saturday after meeting the Yale
team on the field at New Haven.
