The commission form of govern.
ment was supported by large ma
jority at the city election in Yank-
ton. 1t so happens that since the
adoption of that form of govern.
ment Yankton has been making
some substantial improvements.
and it is probably wise to let well
enough alone. But it is also true
that during that time the business
men of Yankton. through their
commercial club, have been giving
the city government substantial as
sistance. and it is probably due
more to this assistance than to the
form of government that the i'm
provements have been made. 1t is
the united push that makes a town
rather than any particular form of
government.

George W. Egan spoke in Scot
land last Saturday evening to a
good sized audience. His talk
seemed to lack the push and force
fulness that has characterized him
on former occasions, but allow.
ances must be made for the fact
that his voice was in bad condition
and he was not in form to do him
self Justice as an orator. He was
also under the disadvantage Of
having to devote much Of his talk
to defense of himself aud an ex-
planation as to why be has been
twice disbarred as an attorney.
This, he charges, was done out of
spite and for the purpose of dis.
oreditiug him, but he made no st
tempt to answer the charges on
which he was disbarred. AS de-.
tense, speclhc explanation of
these charges would have been more
effective than counter charge
that they were brought out Of spite.
If She evidence as published by the
investigating commission WAS true,
the disbarment was just and the
motive in bringing the charges is
immaterial. If they are not true
the people would like to hear bis
explanation. There are some who
discredit the present political ma
chine and these will probably vote
for Egan on the grounds that he
would be no worse.

The hackers of Colonel Roosevelt
in this state have called a confer
ence to be held at Mitchell May
10th with the avowed purpose of
setting up pins for the capture of
tie preferential primary vote. The
name of Roosevelt cannot be print
ed on the ballot as all names of
candidates must be filed by petit
ton forty days before the primary,
but the plan seems to be to warp
the construction of the law 30 that
an opportunity will be given for
the voter to write in the name oi
Roosevelt as his preference.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Rev. Alfred T. Riggs D. D.,
president of the Indian training
industrial school at Santee, Neb.,
died at Albuquerque, N. NJ, on
Saturday April 10Th. He and his
wife had been spending the winter
in California, and were on their
way home. On account of his
feeble condition his son, Fred, had
gone to California to accompany
them home and was with his moth
or when his father died. The re-
mains were brought to Santee for
burial. DR.. Riggs was seventy
eight years of age, and for several
years had been in feeble health.
Although still retaining his posi-
tion as nominal head of the school,
the work has really been performed
for several years by his son, Fred.
The school was founded by DR..
Riggs in 1870, and has been at
tended by children from various
agencies of the Sioux tribe located
in various parts Of the northwest.
The home influences placed around
these children, and the home and
industrial training that they have
received has been a mighty in
fuence in raising them to higher
planes of living. In addition to
his school work, DR.. Riggs COM
piled an Indian dictionary, and
was author of several books. He
was one of the founders of Yank-
ton College, and until recently was
trustee of the school.

On the Goth Of April, in the year 1915
will be celebrated the tercentenary of
the death of VIM. Shakespeare. All
over this country the year will be OBJ
served by bringing to the attention of
the public, especially the young,
Shakespeare and his work. The Sou
thern State Normal, likewise, will cele-
brate the tercentenary, not only in
April. but also in June, when the cole
brated Coburn Players will appear on
the Campus of the school and interpret
for us, as only the Coburn Players can
do, three of Shakespeare's plays. On
Thursday evening, June first, will be
given the "Merchant of Venice" On
the afternoon of Friday, June second,
the "Taming of the Shrew." and in the
evening of the same day, will be given
his masterpiece, "Hamlet."
So generous and appreciative has
been the response on the part of the
public in Bon Homme and neighboring
counties that it was possible to make
arrangements for these performances
and that, too, on terms that should be
universally satisfactory. The price OF
the three performances will be only
double that of one, and thus the man
agement will sell tickets for the entire
festival, consisting of three perform.
ances, for two dollars. The cost OF
sing.e tickets is one dollar for adults.
Normal and High school students and
children will be admitted at half.price.
Tickets will be on sale at Springfield IN

The republicans of Bon Homme
county will put up a strong legisla-
tive ticket this year. Hon. J. H.
Stephens, of Springfield, is an
nounced as a candidate for the
senate. G. G. florence, of Tabor,
is announced for the house and we
understand that Sigel Green, of
Avon, will be the other candidate
for the house. Mr.. Stephens has
won his spurs in numerous polite
al battles, having several times
represented the county in the legis.
lature before. He is a man who
does things and whenever the peo-
pie have something that they want
accomplished they usually press
"Jim" Stephens into the service.
MIR. Terrence is seeking his first
political honors, but is young
man who has made success in a
business way, being one of the suo-
cessful farmers and stock raisers
of the county and if elected will
doubtless put some good sound
business sense into his legislative
work. Mr.. Green was member
of the last legislature and made q
satisfactory record.

County School Letter
(By Supt. G.. G. Fitesy

The spring conference of eonnty su-
pelintendents occurs at Pierre this
week.
We hope our rural teachers are not
forgetting the school exhibit for our
state fair in September. Remember
that now is the time to collect the ma
terial.
The Red Cross nurse is making a
strong campaign against the public
drinking cup. All manner of catching
diseases can be spread throughout FAM
lilies, schools and whole neig ghborhoods
by using the common dipper. Child
rem should be taught early to use sepa-
rate drinking cups.
The Springfield and Tyndall public
schools have recently installed Edison
monographs for use in connection with
their shcool work In both cases the
funds necessary to secure the machine
were obtained through public enter
tainments and from prize money re-
ceived for exhibits at the state fair.
+ The manuscripts Of the seventh and
eighth grade pupils received their final
markings last week and the results
were mailed out to the pupils on Satur
day. We hope that those who failed
to measure up to the requirements will
not become discouraged but that they
will take resolution to win out at the
next examination.
One of our school clerks came into
the office last week with his copy of
their teachers term report and asked
for little enlightenment on the subject
of monthly average attendance. The
enrolment for the year was sixteen,
while the average daily attendance re-
ported by the teacher reached as high
as eighteen some months and for the
year was set down as seventeen. We
were sorry that we were unable to show
our clerk how such thing could be
except that the teacher was very care
less in her work.

The New York Tribune is out
with strong endorsement for Col.
Roosevelt for president on the re
publican ticket. 1t will be recalled
that in 1872 the Tribune was the
organ of Horace Greeley who, tho
a lifelong republican, became the
candidate for president on the
democratic ticket. The inglorious
defeat that he suffered should be a
lasting example of such folly. The
Tribune is now repeating its form
er folly by urging the republicans
to nominate candidate borrowed
from another party.
