ROBBING CAPITAL. - ]. M, W.
wants to know how capital can bef
robbed. Capital is that part of wealth
that is. used by labor in producing
more wealth. Wealth is, in it's true
meaning, things produced by labor
from the earth. 1t is the materials,
furnished by nature. which are taken I
from the earth and moved, changed :
in form and fitted by human labor to
satisfy human needs and desires.
Thus capital and wages are one and
he same thing.
Capitalist and laborer and landlord?
are frequently one and the same in
dividuaL Then a part of the reward !,
received consists of wages, of the add
ed returns that come to labor by the
use of capital, which is interest, and
that is but another name for wages.
The return which is received from
rent is not the result of the energies
Of labor or of the cooperation of cap
ital, but Is the result of the cooper
alton of all the people. 1t is value
that comes to the location from the
presence of the people upon the land
and their conscious and unconscious
cooperation with each other in salts
flying their necessities and desires.
The same application of labor and.
capital on one location will produce
annually $4,000 in value of wealth of
some kind and in another location
will produce $4,000 in value, the.
area Of the locations being the same.
Here is where inequality gets in its.
work and makes a millionaire of one,
and a poor man of another. Compe-
tition for locations engenders speeu--
lation in locations. Values mount.
Labor and capital must. work or
starve and dissipate. The toll exact
ed by the owner. of valuable locations
increases faster than capital and la
Dor can increase their product. Bank
ruptcy and unemployment come.

chance in life is the splendid work
which the South Dakota Children's
Home society has done since it's Or
ganization, as shown by the annual re-
port just submitted by the superintend-
ent.
NO one can measure in terms of dol
lars and cents and service to society
the full meaning of this achievement.
What 1t S worth to take a boy or girl
from the road to bad citizenship and
put him on the road to good citizen
ship? What it is worth to society to
give a boy his chance in life? What
does 1T mean to give to over two
thousand Joung people a chance to
have ar education, to live in a good
home, to come to maturity with good
health, and a high purpose and a right
attitude to society?
But this is the work which this So
ciety is doing. Last year it received
for the first time over 100 children. 1t
lifted them from a hopeless environ
ment to n of sunshine and oppor-
tunity and promise. 1t threw the pro-
tecting mantle of society over the
helpless shoulders of the little ones.
Generations yet unborn will enjoy the
benefits of that work.
Yet, it costs a little-about $11, 900
last year-and the society did not col
lect quite as much as it spent. The
work is financed not by public taxa
tor but by private benevolence. For
years the good people of South Da-
kota have seen to it that the society
had funds enough to keep up its work.
With the growth of the work will
come an increased need of money. But
there will be more and more who are
willing and able to pay-and the good
work will go on, we hope, for many
years.-Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.

children, the youngest being twelve.
The suit is brought upon the grounds
of cruel and inhuman treatment. Mr..
Dreidenbach is living at present with
her daughter at Mitchell.
At a meeting of the good roads en-
thusiasts at Mitchell plans are adopted
for the formation of a permanent Davi-
son county good roads association
which shall be composed Of the board
ship boards, city and town officials
and representatives from other organ
izations vitality interested in good
roads. The board of commissioners
has paved the way by calling the town
ship boards to meet with it on July 6
to go over the road situation in the
county. Mt. Vernon, Ethan and other
towns in the county have expressed
themselves as heartily in favor of this
plan, and have promised their hearty
cooperation in any movement started.
At the meeting a resolution was adopt
ed suggesting to the county board that
the $1,000 motor vehicle fund which
reverts from the state to the county
for road improvement purposes, be
spent generally over the county for the
improvement of the bad roads, rather
than towards perfecting roads in any
n portion of the county.
Because her husband either forgot to
return home from a fishing trip, or
was drowned, Mrs. Sophie Okerand, of
Rapid City, has applied to Judge Bangs
for a widows pension. Three years
ago her husband took his fishing tackle
and departed ostensibly for the pur-
pose of fishing in Rapid creek. That
was the last ever seen or heard of
him. Several weeks after his disap-
pearance there was a rumor that the
body of a mar had been found il the
creed near the village of Mystic, but
Mrs. Overland was unable to connect
the report with her husband.

Storino Coal in Water

The advantage of storing coal I'm.
der water where deterioration is much
less than in h air, are appealing
more and more strongly to engineers.
1t has been generally recognized that
the gases concealed in the pores of
the coal-oxygen in particular-are
responsible for both heating and de-
terioration, and their escape should
be prevented as far as possible. Coal
immersed in water is practically seal.
ed. and little civilization takes place.
Experiments have shown that coal
kept under water for the space of
three years lost less than 8 per cent
in efficiency, while supplies stacked
in the open often show a decrease in
value of from 5 to S per cent in a
single year. In tropical countries he
decline is greater than in the temper.
