Putting the Controller Out of Business

Along with the growth of the human nervous
system there is developed in its highest centers bal
anced controlling force of the greatest value in regu
lating the emotions and the liberation of energy.
What the depressor nerve is to heart action the
governor is to the steam engine, this controlling
mechanism is to human action.
This regulatory power is known as self control
1t is of the very highest Importance that this control
ling force be maintained at its maximum efficiency
it gives quality to all voluntary human action.
Experience, education and religious beliefs in
crease self control. 1t has been demonstrated by
scientific investigation and by common observation
that alcoholic liquors weaken self control The
amount of damage to the regulatory mechanism is
directly proportional to the quantity of alcohol
sumed. Alcohol does this by poisoning those brain
cells in which are registered the judgments which
calmness and precision depend
The impairment of self control leads to saloon
brawls, family feuds dishonesty, immortality lying
murder and the thousand and excuses Of the in
ebrate 1t not nfrequently happens that persons with
hendsh ingenuity drink large quantities Of liquor in
order to weaken this self CONTROL that they may
nit the most dastardly crimes.
This explains the high percentages of crime in
cities and the low percentages of crime in dry
towns.

Employer and Employee Mutually Benefited

We like the protest made to the license court by

opposed temptation being placed in the path of their

espoused the cause Of Prohibition through selfish

benefit What the employer in penalty from the
employers Liability Acts" the employee in

Dakota Republican: South Dakota
is to become the pioneer in another
industry-that of the canning of buff
folio meat. The dispersion of the
Scotty Philip herd at FIT. Pierre has
left a large number of animals for
which there seems to be no market,
as efforts made to sell the herd have
been unsuccessful. The idea of Stan
ley Philip, who now has charge of
the herd, is to have the meat canned
in tins of different weight and placed
upon the market in quantities in
which it may be in demand. We
we're lwayt strong for the canning
industry in the state, but in our wild
est dreams the product " got as
far as buffalo meat.

WILSON'S HAT IN THE RING

Washington, Jan. 12.-The presi-
dents attention was called this after
noon to the possible misunderstanding
Of his remarks at Indianapolis. Re
plying. the president said he had not
intended to start anything"
His attention was called to the fact
that the people consider he has an
nounced his candidacy in 1916. To
this he merely responded: "I'know it,.
It is regarded as significant that he
did not deny that this was the intent of
his speech.
The president begged to be excused
from expressing his views upon the re
peal Of the one term plank in the ma
tional Democratic Platform of 1912
He was not aste ed directly if he plan
ned to become a candidate in 1916, but
the general opi aian is that he will be.

DONAHoE RETAINS SEAT

The house session was largely tax
en- up in hearing the Moliter- Donahoe
contest over Representative for Mel
lette, Trip and Bennett counties.
The special committee appointed TO
examine into the report on the COLI
test brought in findings decidedly ia
vorabie to Donahoe. The fight was
carried to the floor OF the house by
Moliter adherents and evidence was
introduced in an attempt to prove ill.,
legal Indian voting. The conclusion
of the committee which investigated
the dispute was that. assuming that
all of the Indians named by Molito1
as not entitled to vote at the election,
we're in reality disqualified, there
would still be a clear majority for
Donahoe of eighteen votes. The view
of the committee was sustained and
Donahoe was seated.

That a new investigating committee
is needed is the opinion of some of the
members, and a move is likely to come
out into the open at any time. The
grounds claimed are several, n in
particular being the statement in the
annual report of retiring State Auditor
Anderson, that the state could save a
half million dollars a year by the use of
practical business methods, which ONE
of the members think is worth saving
and they express a desire to call in the
retiring official for specific statements
au to where the saving can be made.

the herd is increasing at the rate OF
about 100 full blood buffalo calves

blood buffalo. The Press cruelty to
