EVERYTHING LOVELY.

Crops this year in South Dakota
as viewed upon June by the gov
ernment observer at Huron were
pretty near perfection. Better than
they were in comparison with the
United States as whole and better
than they have been ON the average
for the last ten years.
Hay couldn't be much better ac-
cording to this record for it is class
ed as 80 per cent perfect while the
rest Of the country tallies up 10
only 87.8 per cent. Rye is the same
pasture nearly as good aud alfalfa
bettlr than the average.
The winter wheat promises near
ly two million bushels, or nearly
double what it was a year ago.
Spring wheat is a half gr eater
this year than it was then. Last
year the crop amounted to so 600,
eco bushels and on June / this year
the estimate is that the crop VIII
amount to As, 800, 600 bushels,
Such prospects are the backbone
of the present optimism which en-
velopes this state and which con-

Discusses the Question.

A recent bulletin by the Ma

attention to the fact chat one
race of people in Europe today
who are peaceful in action, in
intent. and of peaceful contem
piation is the gypsies who have
come into the lives of every ma
tion ON the face of the earth yet
are not a parr of them; who
though mingling among the
most advanced civilization the
world has known are yet ignor-
ant and unlettered; who have
long been wanderers with no
fixed home and yet have ten
aclously maintained the purity
of their racial blood and have
not forgotten tribal customs
whose origin and significance
have been obliterated by time;
the most mysterious of all the
strange clements of folkdom."
The origin of the gypsies has
never been determined positive
~ but numerous more or less
mythical stories have been tOl d
to account for them. Since they
were first known in Europe
some have identified them with
the lost tribes of Israel, the
mixed multitude" that left
Egypt under the leadership of
Moses, the Canaanites. the Amo-
rites, the Saracens and the
Egyptians According to some
who have attempted to explain
their origin they are the des-
cendants of Cain, while others
have held them to be children of

BRINKMAN ACCUSED OF WAR ON
HOME RULE BILL
Will Chicago get any real new
power over the traction, light and
phone corporations through the home
rule bill now in the spotlight at
Springfield?
Among those asking this question
is William Taber, secretary Of Div.
241 of the street car mems union. AS
head of the biggest labor union local
in Chicago, with 1000 members,
Taber said to a Day Book reporter:
lone of the most active hackers
of the home rule bill is Rep. Brink
man from a South Side district.
Brinkman was a leader in the fight
against the street car mems ten-hour
bill in committee. About everything
that legislative member could do
to kill the bill shortening the long
workday of street car men was done
by Brinkman. We don't object to
Rep. Brinkman attending theater
party in Springfield in company with
street railway company lobbyists.
But we do protest against his claim
that he is representing the people
while he is voting for everything the
companies want
Aid. Eugene Block, lately taken off
the Craftsmanship of the local trans
portation committee over the protest
of Aid. Merriam and others, says:
81 am suspicious of any home rule
bill which has the enthusiastic sup
port of the street railway companies.
1t may work out for better transpor-
tation. Yet in the past it never has.
The vast majority of measures ia
vored by the car companies, either
in the state legislature or in the city
council has only resulted in worse
transportation, more crowded cars"
