and the Ballot

Or. P. P. Claxton U. S. Com
missioner of Education, says that
if women had the ballot they
could stop the sacrifice of $50, 900
young girls every year to the
social evil. IF an army were to
land on our shores and take
from us 10000 women" said
DIR. Claxton, 1.-The people of the
United States would mortgage
the last dollar in the treasury
and go bankrupt for years to
avenge the wrong" He declared
that the present destruction of
young girls could be..stopped, too,
if the effort were made with
equal determination.

Dry or Wet?

Now that the question Of state
wide prohibition is to come before
the voters in 1916 there will be a
general sitting up and taking notice
all along the line by both the vets
and the drys. 1t is generally con-
coded, as near as the Graphic can
get at 1T, on the part Of the drys,
that the submission of the woman
suffrage question at the same time
will act to further stimulate another
vote no" campaign and carry pro-
hibition down with it. However, it
is interesting to delve a bit into the
present state of things in the anti
salool campaign. and r n. Holsaple,
superintendent of the South Dako-
ia Anti. Saloon league, has given out
the following figures:
South Dakota now has 400 dry
towns and cities and 12S wet
towns and cities.
There are 46 wet counties and
20 dry counties, but nine of the
wet" counties have only one sal
Don town each.
Population of the dry terri
tory is AT, 700; population of the
wet" territory is l55, 300.
Five years ago the state had CSC
saloons; today the number is $40.
Partially reduced by Legislative en-
actment limiting number of saloons
at one to each 600 of population.
AT the 1914 spring election 80
former wet towns voted dry"
and six former dry" towns re-
stored the saloon. "--Kimball Crap

The second floor is being divided in

large hall room, divided by a tenn

No License Vote

Inquiry Of the city officers de-
velops the fact that no petition has
been filed this year asking for a vote
upon the license question. There
seems to be a very general belief
among those who observe such
things that license would have no
chance of success this spring in
Miller.
This condition or sentiment against
the saloon is not altogether a local
one. 1t is a wave spreading over
nearly the entire country. How far
it will go, or how long it will last, is
any mans guess. Several states
have already passed laws for state
wide prohibition, and it looks now
as if the days of the saloon were
numbered in South Dakota. Like
wise every man has a guess at the
reason. But the best one. in the
minds Of many people, was given
recently by a professor of a western
university in a recent speech upon
this question. He said that pro-
hibitionlsts and anti-saloon leagues
had labored long without making
much headwav, but that as soon as
commercial necessity joined forces
with them there was immediate and
pronounced results. Today the
drink of liquor is a luxury. A great
many men have concluded that they
cannot afford it. The big companies
and manufactures who employ many
men seek non drinkers to get great
err efficiency; some southern states
have cut out the liquor business to
keep it away from the negro; and in
the wild and woody west" several
states have decided to get along
without liquor and miners troubles.
1t looks like a common ems wave,
appealing to the common sense of
man for his own good.

which took place a month after the
siege started, Since that time the

IMPORTANCE
TO SOUTH OAK.
New Laws Passed by Congress
That Effect HOmesteads

Argus Leader-The new home
stead law passed by the sixty third
congress is attracting much atten-
ton, and its provisions are not yet
fully understood and will not be for
some time. The main provisions of
the law are as follows:
/. Any person qualified to axe
a homestead entry may now file on
800 acres instead of 100.
2. Any person who has an I'M
proved-up filing on 100 acres, may
take up 100 acres more, If any open
land joins his homestead.
2. This land must be "nOn-min-
eral, non-irrigable, ~unreserved and
unappropriated surveyed public
lands which do not contain e
charitable timber"
4. The fees are the same as re-
CURED under the homestead laws.
And fees applies to the additional
100, when the applicant is a home
steader, as we'll as if he were a first
applicant.
5. The land taken by one who is
holding a homestead must be con
tlguous (adJoining) the land he is
holding. and so compact that the
longest side is not over Ii miles.
6. An entryman Tor entrywomen)
who has an unprotected homestead
filing Of 100 acres and a desert filing
of 100 acres, may still enter 100
acres additional under the enlarged
homestead law. But one entering
an enlarged homestead first, or in
creasing his filings to 320 acres can
not afterwards make a desert land
entry, owing the desert land afida-
Wit.
7. Cultivation. The second year
of entry, one-sixteenth of the total
area must be cultivated; the third
year double this, or o~ne-eighth must
be under successful cultivation.
Residence is the same as now; that
is. all entries are made under the
three year law" and must be prov
ed up within five years.
No extension will be given on the
filings already made before the law
became effective. If this time is
too short to make final proof, a sup
Elemental proof will be required.
Cultivation will be deemed sufficient
If on one of the quarters only pro-
vided it meets the laws demands.
This also applies to residence. But
native grasses. even on irrigated
land; are not recognized as a Crop
under the meaning Of the law.
IrrigabIe land is excluded; but eX-
ceptions are made when irrigation is
from a spring; in such cases the linn
it is placed at forty acres. That
means no one can take more than
forty acres of such irrigated land.
No entries are to be committed.
The entry fees OH 320 acres are
$ls, for 160 acres. $l4. A reduction
of acres to be cultivated will be al
lowed with the proper evidence.
But this privilege will not be grant
ed on a liberal scale.
