chequer each year it is hoped South
Dakota's rail needs will be supplied.

Another Christmas is near at hand
and still it is not necessary for us to
spend it in trenches. Instead, those Of
us who live in South Dakota are en-
joying the most prosperous year in
the history of this state. This ought to
be a Merry Christmas for each and
every one of US. We, as Americans,
are blessed above all other people on
earth. The worst that may have hap
pened to us is not so bad as
that which happened and is
happening to those less fortunate
people of war-ridden Europe, and
for this reason, II 20 other, we ought
to show the Christmas spirit this year
more abundantly than ever We can
make this holiday time the happiest
in our whole lives, if we only will. For
US times certainly are not hard. There
is no wal here. We can thank God
we nor our sons have not been called
away to fight for some king, and every
resident of this great United States
should in some way express his appre-
of the freedom we are enjoy
ing. We agree with thousands of
others that the hyphen should be elm
mated and that this should be an
America for Americans only.

AT REST

Since God in His tender mercy has
called little Thomas Edgard Eden,
only son of Mr.. and Mrs. Olaf Eden
to Himself, we, the members of the
Sunshine Club and w. r. c., extend
our loving sympathy to them and
mourn their great loss with them in
their hour of bereavement and point
them to Him who loveth all things,
well knowing he is with the angels
and at rest.
Two little hands are sweetly folded
upon a silent breast;
The little heart within has numbered
it's throbs and gone to rest;
Two little eyes are closed forever TO
earth's unholy sight;
Two little cherub wings now hover in
heavens golden light.
A little gem released from trouble has
gone above to shine,
Oh what a comfort dear Redeemer thy
grace and love hath given,
That when life's winter day is ended,
Well meet our child in heaven.
Pres. S. S. c. and w. R. C.

DEATH OF PROF. o. N. TRooIEN

Prof. ole n. Trooien died at his
home in this city, 1917 Third St, Tues.
day morning at 1885, following an i'll,
ness which had extended owe a year.
The cause of death vas hemorrhage
of the stomach.
Funeral services were held at the
Norwegian Lutheran church il this
city this afternoon at two o'clock, con
Quoted by Rev. b. A.. Benson. Inter
ment was in the Lutheran cemetery.
ole n. Trooien was born in Lake
Hendricks township, B]rookings coun-
ty, S. D., on January IS, 1880, and at
the time of death was t~hirty-fiye years,
eleven months and three days of age.
He was the son of Nels and Gertrude
Trooien. He received his early educa-
ton in the rural schools of the county
and at the age of sixteen entered State
College at Brookings. He graduated
from the engineering apartment OF
that institution in 1902 and received
his A. M. degree in 1904. He took post
graduate work and taught at State
College until 1906 when he spent a
year at the University of Wisconsin.
Later he was in the employ of the
Pennsylvania Railway Co. in the con-
struction department and was one of
the engineers who constructed a tun-
mel under the Hudson river in New
York. He remained there a year and
a half but was compelled to resign on

OUR COSTLY PRIMARY SYSTEM

The beauties Of our primary system
in South Dakota are again illustrated
says the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader
The republican national convention is
to meet in Chicago on June 7, and the
date for our regular primary in South
Dakota is June s. This means that
the convention would be over before
we could get the votes counted on the
delegates to that convention. This, in
turn, means that we must hold a spec.
ial primary for the selection Of those
delegates. April 4 has been named as
the probable date since the law speci.
fes the first Tuesday in April in case
a national convention is called for a
date on or before the regular primary.
A statewide primary in this state
costs about $4,000 and some esti-
mate the total as high as 100000
This money comes out of the tax-pay-
ers and the only benefit is that we Sc
lect in a statewide primary about the
same kind Of a delegation which would
be chosen by a state convention which
would cost the taxpayers nothing.
Then on the 9Th Of June, we will have
another expensive primary-this one
to select the candidates for state of
fee.
The fact that the common people
are not much interested is shown by
the returns from the last primaries.
twenty-five thousand men who had the
right to vote did not take the trouble
to 20 to the primaries.
Over in Minnesota they are getting
tired of the statewide primary which
is charged with ~cheapening politics
and with giving a death blow to loyalty
to party and to party organization. A
repeal measure will be considered by
the coming Legislature. 1t Is altogether
likely that repeal will not be accom-
plished but the people Of that state are
fast arriving at the conclusion that
the statewide primary has advertised
on its bill boards a good deal more
than it has ever been able to show
under the tent.

In conjunction with the Farm and
Home Course which will be held at
State College next week, the Brook
ings County Farmers Institute Asso.
citation and Ladies Auxiliary will hold
their regular annual meeting. Such 4
combination should be a drawing card
for every farmer and his wife in the
country, for between the two programs
of instruction and entertainment have
been arranged that are worth while.
The farming population of Brookings
county ls considered among the most
profitable in the state and the meet.
ings next week should be of hearts in
terest to every rural resident. The
city Of Brookings invites you to enjoy
q season of self-improvement and prac-
teal instruction at State College next

South Dakota merchants are becom,

vertising, as shown by the size of our
exchanges the past two or three weeks.
The Register might also add that the
newspaper publishers of the state are
showing nor energy than ever before
and we doubt If the special Christ
mas editions of any other state, taken
as a whole, can better those of the
South Dakota country newspapers. A
paper well filled with advertising sets

large wholesale house said, and the
newspapers are the medium through
which the state must be introduced

LATE j. M. RAYMOND
Pioneer and Builder

The Aberdeen Daily News says that
James M. Raymond, founder of the
town of Raymond, who passed away at
his home in that place last week, was
a character who will be always asso-
ciated with the early days of this state
and was one who helped lay the foun-
dations for the commonwealth. He
was for 25 years in the employ of the
Northwestern railway company and
surveyed and graded the line through
Aberdeen. In fact, Mr.. Raymond built
practically all the Northwestern line
in this state, and vas a well known
figure throughout the state, his genial
disposition making him friends where
ever he went. He served as surveyor
in Clark county for 10 years and pass
ed away at the age of IS after a life
of splendid service. He is survived by
a wife and two daughters, one of them
being Miss Mary E. Raymond of this
city.
Mr.. Raymond was a neighbor of the
publisher of the Register in 1884, in
the pioneer days of Raymond, at
which time we were publishing the
Raymond Gazette. We entertain only
the pleasantest memories of him and
his estimable family and extend to the
.bereaved widow our sympathy.
There are still many in Brookings
who were acquainted with the de-
