COLLEGE NOTES

Professor Wilson went to Chicago
Saturday evening with a load of steers
from the college farm. These are the
cattle which have brought so much
distinction to the college by feeding
experiments conducted by Prof. VIII
son. The cattle sold for $40 per cwt..
which topped the market for the whole
day with an exceptionally large run.

slightly raised the price. The steers

GERMANS BECOME NATURALIzED

More Germans took out final citizen
ship papers in South Dakota in 1914,
than did English or representatives
from English dependencies, says a
Pierre dispatch. The Germans num-
bered 1872, while the combined repre-
sentation from England, Ireland, Scot
land and Canada was 1923. The highest
number from any one country was Nor.
way, with PIG. Russia showed 108 and
Austria so. The state gained 853 in
citizenship for the year by those who
took out final papers, and 1887 an
nounced their intentions to become
citizens. .
The divorce record shows desertion
as the leading cause for granting such
DEGREES, and intemperance is way down
on the list as the motive behind the
separation. Out of the 464 divorces
granted for the year, 215 were on
grounds Of desertion; 1872 on charges
Of cruelty, with other causes down to
only fifteen on direct charges of in
temperance. Out of the list the de-
PENDANT vas a resident of the state in
298 cases, and a nonresident in 1874
cases.
In the death list the infantile moral

1,145, with pneumonia as the greatest
peril to infants, and the other causes
ranging down to a negligible number,
scarlet fever being low in the list.

BURKE WILL GO FISHING

81 am going back home to devote
some little time to personal business
matters and then l am going fishing"
That is how Congressman Chas. H.
Burke outlined his immediate plans for
the future while stopping in Sioux
Falls on his way from Washington to
his home in Pierre.
Like many another busy public man,
Mr.. Burke has had visions of green
fields and running brooks, or has pic.
tured himself with rod and line on a
wave-lapped lake shore, but he has
never had time to make his visions q
reality.
II have laid down a big load, now
that l am free from political RESPONSE.
bility and political ambition. II l have
had any" said Mr.. Burke. II have
wanted to take a long vacation for
some years past but the opportunity
never seemed to come to me, as ]
have always managed to keep busy
with matters Of national legislation,
winter and summer, whether Congr;ss
was in session OF not"
Touching national politics, Mr..
Burke said that there is no question
about republican harmony. when the
next national convention of the repub.
lican party convenes," he said, 1T will
be harmonious and with the single
purpose Of national success. l do not
look for any wrangle among factions,
for the country today needs the repub.
lican party. The Wilson administra.
ton has shown its inability to run the
government and keep the wheels OF
industry going and provide work for
labor. There will be plenty of issues
the democrats have themselves forced
upon the country that will put that
party on the defensive.
Nothing has crystalized in the way
of presidential candidates. It might
be Root, If he would accept the nomi.
nation, but he is getting old. He says
himself he is too old to think Of 1t.
Hughes would be generally a very pop
ular man, but he has a fine place on
the supreme bench and with greater
prospects ahead. Burroughs is a very
able and very excellent man, but his
location is against him. Cummins is
being talked of but I do not think he
will be very strong. There are Bur.
ton and Herrick and Willis of Ohio,
all good men, also Whitman, the new
governor of New York. Congressman
Mann of Illinois is another.
II cannot see what will possibly take
place that will bring Wilson and his
party back into the confidence in
which they were once held by the PEG.

PROTEST MADE BY LEADERS

The act on the part of the Byrne
administration in repeating the pri-
mary law enacted by a direct vote of
the people has stirred up the promin-
ent leaders, Of the state ,~administra-
ton of 1897 and 1898, who were the
original progressives in this state, and
responsible for the adoption OF the in
itiative and referendum into the South
Dakota state constitution, says a
Huron dispatch.
Father Robert w. HARE Of Aber-
deem, Governor Andrew E. Lee of Yer
million, Senator L. N. Grill Of Elk
Point, Senator James A. Grant of Clark
H. L. Loucks of WATERFOWL, and others
have addressed a joint communication
to r. 0. Richards of this place, urging
him to press forward for the freedom
of the ballot and supremacy of the peo-
pie, by making a thorough test Of the
state administrators act, in our state
courts. and federal courts if necessary.
The following is a copy of their letter:
Aberdeen, s. D., April 10, 1915.
Hon. r. o. Richards, Huron, s. d.
Dear Sir: The undersigned, a few
OF those who were active in the pro-
motion, submission and adoption of
the initiative and referendum by the
amendment OF article 3 of our state
constitution in 1897 and 1898, view
with indignation and resentment the
attmept being made to substitute the
rule Of a few for government by the
people,.
In the initiative enactment we were
at a disadvantage in not having a pre-.
cedent to guide us. But our intent
was very clearly expressed in the text
Of the addition to article 3 Of our con
stitution. For failure of the legislature
to enact a law wanted by the people,
we provided that 5 per cent of the
voters might. by petition, propose a
measure for enactment by the voters
direct. and II adopted 1t should have
the same force and effect as any other
constitutional law, and could be
amended or repealed only by the same
method as enacted.
1T would have been ridiculous in
the extreme to propose to go to the
expense and labor of initiating and
conducting q statewide campaign To
enact q law In November by direct
vote Of the people that a legislature,
elected at the same time. could repeal
in the following January. We also
provided that the legislature should
have the same right to propose direct
legislation. but without petition. ANY
member may propose and II both
branches Of the Legislature concur. Il

WAR STIMULATES MANUFACTURE

"The European war has forced Uni.
ted States to manufacture many chem.
icals formerly imported from Ger

excellent" according to b. A. DUN.
bar, associate professor of chemistry
In the State College. He says: Estate
College recently received an invoice
embracing a considerable quantity OF
staple reagents for laboratory use, and
1t was noted that comparatively few
were Of foreign make, and these in
very small quantities; whereas a year
ago a very large part OF a similar order
would have been labeled made in
Germany A noteworthy fact is that
this consignment contained little, II
any, in impure materials.
prior to August, 1914, while our
chemical exports to the continent
steadily exceeded u imports-a fact
not generally understood in America,
our imports were for the larger part
of the nature Of technically finished
products of the type of coal tar de-
rivatives, while u exports were large
ly confined to unfinished and more
nearly raw materials. In other words
we we're exporting, in foreign bottoms,
large quantities Of raw material, and
paying duty on the reimported finish.
ed product, also imported In foreign
bottoms. The sudden calling of a halt
in the matter of a large percentage of
such importations, has forced Ameri-
can chemical houses to face about
and to form tentative plans to capture
some of this foreign trade, or, at
least, to say a part of u domestic
absorpiotion of such materials, for
domestic profit.
There has been much energy mani
tested of late in the manufacture OF
coal tar derivatives and domestic
glassware applicable to chemical uses.
and several of the eastern firms have
begun large additions to their plants
with the foregoing idea in view, While
our antitrust laws are not calculated
to favor immediate large investments
in the manufacture of dyes, since
such an industry SEEM to demand
separate production of the staple
chemicals by different plants. each
contributing its special product for
the manufacture of the final product.
yet many of the simpler organic pro-
ducts which form staple reagents for
laboratory are even now being fur
nished by domestic firms.
"The Edison plant has succeeded in
making itself Independent of Europe
in the manufacture Of carbolic acid
which 1t had formerly imported In
tons-per-month from Europe, and an
enormous impetus to domestic chemi-
cal manufacture has been given By the

Greater amount Of leisure enjoyed
by salespeople predisposes to greater
efficiency of service. The public
should be urged to cooperate with
establishments which promote the
welfare of their employees and the eff
ficiency of their service by shorten
ing the hours during which they are
obliged to keep their doors open"
Mems furnishing stores are open
every night till and on Saturdays
till 10 p. m. A lot Of clothing stores
are open Sunday mornings. Blame
for this is put on the unreasonable
demand of the man-down-town for
opportunity to shop at all hours"
Housewives are blamed for too much
night shopping in residence districts
"The result is that retail store en-
pIoyes complain it takes them SO long
to earn their living that they have no
