We visited the farmers institute at
the opera house several times last
week and since then we can under,
stand a little better the attitude of
the legislature which was in favor of
cutting out the institutes altogether.
The local institute was able to draw
upon the State College for it's agricul-
tural experts and consequently could
offer a better program than perhaps
any other town in the state and yet
for some reason or other this splen-
did array OF good things did not APP
peal to the farmers. At least they did
not turn out in any great numbers,
although they cannot be busy at this
season and the weather was excellent.
If conditions are similar over the
state we do not wonder that the legis-
lature was inclined to put the institute
out of business.

important house Indian affairs commit
tee with the name Of being the Ameri
can Indians "truest friend" Toward
the first of this year Republican Lead
er Mann, of Illinois. said on the floor
of the house:
"Mr. Burke has, in my opinion, at
different times, both as chairman and
as member of the committee on Indian
affairs, saved to this government and
to the Indians many millions of dol
lars, and we could well have afforded,
so far as money considerations are con-
cerned, to have paid him a pension for
life in order that he might give us his
knowledge and sound judgment of In
dian affairs"
Mr.. Burke's record reflected honor
upon his state as well as upon his W
name and he has earned the place we
are sure South Dakota will not hest
tate to accord him when the historian
complies his list of the states greatest
men.
The retiring congressman has had
his enemies-some of them very bitter
but they have been political. The
Press has seldom found itself in agree
ment with his political philosophy, but
we have reckoned Burke a fine,
straightforward mar of u%nimpeach-
able integrity. In many a h~ard-fought
campaign we have encountered Burke
on the other side, but always as an
honorable fighter who earned the re-
spect we hesitated to accord
him. In these battles the Press has
often been keenly conscious of a re-
side of the argument, that he had
never recognized what we believe to
be the error of the old political doe
trines, that he never had seen the need
of political principles that progressed
with the advancing times. And still,
believing as he did, we respected
Burke for standing by his ideas. He
could have changed a few years ago
ever a few months ago-and almost
anything he wanted in politics would
been given him. But Burke was
never an opportunist.
We still hope that some day Charles
II. Burke will moderate his attitude
first, of course, really seeing the light,
The good a nan of his ability, courage
and superiority of personal attributes
could accomplish if he were in sympa-
thy with the political tendencies of

MAY HAVE CITY MANAGER

The lower house of the legislature
on Monday paved the way for a city
manager system in the principal cities
of the state by passing II. B. 267,
known as the Swanson bill. Under it
a petition, signed by 20 per cent of the
voters, on the question of changing to
the city manager system may be sub
mitted to a vote in any city.
The bill provides that cities choos-
ing the city manager form of govern
ment shall call a special election with
in 80 days of the adoption of the sys-
tenn, and elect five commissioners who
shall be paid not less than $25 nor
more than 5000 per year, the commits
sioners themselves to declare the
amount. Each commissioner shall
serve five years, except hat the first
board shall consist of FIVE members
serving one, two, three, four and five
years respectively, thus providing
that one member shall elect one Of
their number mayor and this member
shall be presiding officer at the board
meetings. The commissioners shall
elect a manager of the city for a term
not exceeding three years and at a
salary not to exceed $4,000 per year.
All executive duties shall be perform
ed by this manager, who shall also ap-
point all subordinate administrative
officers and fix their remuneration, all
subject to the approval of the com
m~issioners. No specific recall provis-
ion is made in this bill, but section II
owe the point as follows:
"All laws now In force pertaining to
cities of the class adopting the city
manager system not inconsistent with
the provisions of this act are hereby
specifically declared to be in full force
and effect, and all laws or parts of
laws in conflict herewith are hereby
repealed so far as the same apply to
cities organized under the provisions
of this act"

by our old friend, w. ]. Watson, who
spent severa! months in Brookings a
few years ago.. The Vindicator is, of
course, intensely loyal to England and
without doubt 1t reflects the sentiment
of the people OF Canada. In speaking
of the attitude Of the United States the
last issue of the Vindicator says: BE
patient with our American cousins in
considering their official attitude on
the war. With 10000, 900 Germans in
the United States which is a demo
cracy, can we wonder that in the
places where they most abound their
politicians trine, their preachers pla-
tudinize for peace and their news

we must not forget that ver 1900 of

tire district Tuesday, either by the
district judges or by Judge Norris OF
the superior court at Grinnell.
Judge Lewis was born Oct. IL, 1888,

age, and was admitted to the bar
about nine years thereafter. He has
served at different times as member Of

as judge of the circuit and of the dis
trict court Of this district, and has won
a wide and enviable reputation, both as
