Miss Mape. on the Stand.

- ARSTOW made no objection to
the proof proposed. On the
contrary, he offered to admit
that Shaw vas unmarried
at the time of his death if the
prosecutor thought the fact essential,
and when Gilbert declined to take adj
vantage of the admission he protested
against his opponents waste of time.
Indeed, from that moment Barstow be
tinued to press him at every possible
opportunity. Gilbert no sooner placed
a witness on the stand than Barstow
was at his heels wanting to know what
he expected to prove by the testimony
and offering II concede all an exami-
nation could possibly disclose. But
though the prosecutor never availed
himself of these repeated propositions
to shorten the trial Barstow invariably
managed to anticipate the testimony
I'm his arguments and when the jury
finally heard it from the witnesses it
seemed stale and unimportant.
Did Gilbert desire TO show how Mr..
Shaw had disposed OF all his property
and turned it into cash or its equiva-
lent and deposited il in a Venezuelan
bank in Alice Emory's name? The
testimony would reveal what he want
ed to prove: OF course it would. But
why waste time taking testimony to
prove what was i~ndisputably true?
At last Gilbert turned upon his tor
mentor.
If my learned opponent is so anx-
ious to expedite this trial" he cxclaim-
ed. ..let him admit that the defendant
knew of the securities deposited in
Venezuela in her name and | will ac-
commodate him.
Barstow regarded his adversary with
expression of scornful contempt.

Lincoln. The North and South were at death grips. Slavery was not the
 issue of the war though slavery had caused it. The North had tried to bar
 slavery from all new states. The South resenting this and fearing lest she some day be robbed of her ne- groes, left the Nnion. The civil wur
 was waged to force the South back
 into the union, not to set the slaves free. Lincoln hated slavery and he resolved to abolish it. Yet he had to abide his time as many Northerners still believed in slavery and another congress had formally declared itself
 helpless to free the slaves. The Con- federacy was winning 8 series of bril-
 liant victories. The abolitionists howled at Lincoln. When Generals
 Fremont and Hunter declared the slaves free in sections of the South they had invaded he rescinded the or
 ders as a part of wisdom. Early in 1862 the Confederates shifted defense te aggression, Lees army invading the North through Maryland. Lincoln
 took solemn VOW that if the invasion
 was checked he would free the slaves.
 It W ds CHSlhSQ by lHS -NOI LII the battle of Antietam. Sept. IT, the bloodiest days fighting of all the war"
 He called upon the revolting states to lay down their arms before the begin
 ming of the new year under penalty of issuing the emancipation proclama- tion. Mcclellan warned the president that this would cause the Union sol diers to lay down their arms. Presi- dent Davis ordered Gen. Beni. F. But Ter to be hanged if captured. The proclamation was issued. It was cold Fly received ncrth. It was queer document, capable of many construc- tions as to it's legality, and was said by many not to be worth the paper l it was written upon. It had a mighty ! effect, however. turning the war from
 mere struggle for dominion into a crusade against slavery. England i France and Germany considered inter-
 vening. Nc foreign country cared to l favor slavery. Lincoln was told a 1 little later that he might conciliate
 the South by resembling the proclama- ition. He replied in one tersely indig- nant sentence, Should I do so should deserve to be damned, both in i time and eternity"

HELLO. COMPANY TO
 LET IN EMPLOYES
Offers to Sell IL i m i t e d Amount of Stock at Less
 Than Market Price.

The American Telephone & Tele- graph company announces that ar arrangements have been made by which
 employees of the Bell system who have
 been two years or mere in the service may purchase stock of the company for $110 per share on easy terms of payment.
 No employee can purchase more than one share for each $500 Of an nual wages he receives nor more than 10 shares whatever his wages.
 The terms of payment will be S2 per share per month beginning with March, 1915. and the quarterly diyi- dends paid on the stock will go to- wards paying for it after deducting
 interest at per cent per annum on
 the unpaid balances.
 The American company has paid s
 Der cent dividends for seven years, and it is calculated that dividends at this rate and the $2 per share per
 month payments by employees Will
 pay for the stock in full by Novem-
 Der, 1918. Any employee who so de- sires can after March 1, 1917, but not before, pay in the balance on ms | SCOCk dIu 1SCSlNt Hio StoSn Soi eAiA cate.

(By j. c. Robinson, D. D.

A large congregation of Pine BiuH negroes met at St. John A. NJ. E. church yesterday at 2 o'clock D. m., and car of the emancipation proclamation is sued by Abraham Lincoln fifty-two years ago. Prof. $. J. Altheimer was chairman of the meeting.

 Several musical selections, both vocal and instrumental. were render ed. The emancipation proclamation was read, mid cheering. by Bessie Higgins. The first speaker was Ferd Havis. Colonel Havis said:
 'I appreciate the work of those old veterans sitting there. In fact, ad- nsire the old negro for his honesty and integrity. If the young negro pos sessed one-half the stamina and moral fitness of the old negro. our problem would soon be solved. The young ne gro is making our conditions worse hy filling tne tails aud leadins i'm, proper lives. You sing.

Dr. k. S. Stout, the president Of the recently organized Colored Y. M. c. A., was the next speaker. He said:
 II simply want to finish the speech started by Colonel Havis. Unless we can learn the way to place of busi- ness conducted by negro, unless we can learn to be respectful to negro women, our hope as race is done.'
 Negro Makes Progress.
 Rev. P. w. EeLyles, D. F the pas ter of the Allen Temple, A. M, D.. church, addressed the congregation on the subject, "Why We Should Cele- brate This Day
 Slavery carried with it, its lash and curse" he said
 "A curse which has blighted every race that has had to undergo it's bur- dens. Slavery brought on the curse of crushed manhood The negro is labCring under that curse today.

 Dr. j. c. Robinson said in address 1 ing the meeting: T want to take my stand with the young negro. The young negro is doing well. Paul Law renee Dunbar was young negro of slave, parents, and he became one of lthe greatest pcets in the world; Wm piokens, reared in Arkansas, young negro, was made famous and today he is regarded as one Of the brignt- est minds in the land: by the tact lthat the late President Cleveland saio of him, he was the greatest orator lthat he had ever listened to. There are many thousands of young negroes making good in every walk Of life as farmers, business men. profession al men-and women, In fact. the Iyoung negro needs to be eomplimentee for what he is doing. l grant. wf have our criminals, and people who live in alleys and dens of vice ant who are net worthy of being part O ] the people of our beloved country. anf they are not confined to the youns negro alone.

selves are not altogether %guiltless of blame.

solves are not altogether guiltless of blame.
The newspaper which cannot survive without public patronage
is better dead, so far as the public is concerned; and the publisher
who seeks to secure public patronage at a loss is very foolish, to
say the least.
And this leads to a point hitherto suggested by the Saturday
News, namely, that all legitimate newspapers should be accorded a
reasonable proportion Of such public patronage as the law requires
to be dispensed. @
In years gone by the Saturday News has had its share of
both the county and city printing, and it expects to get a reason
able share in the future. And it believes that the other newspapers
in the county and the city are entitled to "a reasonable proportion
of the patronage to be bestowed under the law.
The newspapers themselves could make it much easier for pub
he servants having the dispensing of patronage, and would vastly
elevate themselves in publc estimation if they would recognize the
principle of equity as between and among themselves, and would
to offer to transact public business for a mere fraction of
what they ask for similar services for private advertisers.

Iroquois Editor Doesn't Altogether
Agree With Bank Department.
Bank Examiner Wingfeld, referring
to his recent order requiring state
banks to keep one-half of their legal.
reserve in state banks within the
state, which action is being contested
in the courts, says:
eff this ruling does not go into ef-
feet, the whole work of the banking
department will be for naught. This
order is the basis upon which the
work of this department stands.
Should the bankers get what they
want in this instance, it would mean
the practical loss to the state of the
100000 annually spent by this depart
ment in the interests of the people
of South Dakota"
If the entire efficiency of the bank
ing department depends upon an or
der recently made, will Mr.. Wingield
kindly state what excus he and his
department have to offer for being
in existence and spending annually
100000 for many years before this
order was ever dreamed of. OF
course. Mr.. Wingield exaggerates
the Importance of his recent ruling.
The banking department has been of
much benefit in the past.and will be
of much benefit in the ufture, no
matter which way the courts decide
this question.-Iroquois Chief.

At Brookings College
Saturday, November 6

B~rookings, S. D., Oct. 27.-The
State college football team expects to
pay off old scores by trouncing the
Coyotes in the annual game which
will be played at Brookings on Sat
urday, hobo day, November 6. Three
times during the past six years has
State strived to defeat the university
team, but without avail, The result
this season will be different. States
rams believe, and a desperate attempt
will be made to humble the rooters
from the sister institution.
Elaborate preparations are being
made to entertain the Vermillion con.
tingent and other visitors on hobo
day. Students are busy with cos.
tunes, athletes are planning new
grandstand room, while the good
housewives Of Brookings are figuring
on tasty handouts to give the Weary
Willies. A movie concern has writ
ten for the privilege of running the
hobo feature throughout a northwest
ern circuit. Altogether the 1915 hobo
stunts will be more complete and
more comic than ever before at State
college.
Hobo day is being extensively adj
vertised by the Commercial club be-
cause the Brookings fans have dis
covered that the only method Of pay
ing out on expensive games is to adj
vertise for crowds. Display advertis-
ing of limited amount is carried in
forty papers in the Bookings terri
tory. Advertising has been ordered
in Vermillion papers-the en-
emy's camp. Several thousand illus
trated cards will be mailed to all
friends and Alumni of both institu-
tons, while States boosters expect
to wear a special scarf pin one week
before the game. This advertising is
expected to produce results.
