Judge MCGEE decided that the
Deadwood Business Club could not
legally MAINTAIN a bar for the sale
of intoxicating liquors to it's mem.
bers without taking out license.
The club has taken an appeal to
the supreme court, the grounds of
appeal being that the bar is merely
incident to club activities, and for
that reason need not take out a
license. This is contention that
is capable Of a very broad con-
struction. For instance, the gro
Ger might contend that a bar in
connection with his store would
increase the activities of his store,
and if it was maintained merely as
an incident no license would be re-
quired.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The presidents effort to settle
the differences in an off hand way,
and prevent a railroad strike prov
ed q failure. When he asked the
railroad managers to grant practi.
cally all that the men asked and
suggested to them that they might
protect themselves against loss by
an increase in freight rates, he
didn't count on the temper of the
general public who in the end must
bear the extra burden. His sug-
gestions brought some strong pro.
tests and only a few very mild ap-
prevails. He has now decided to
turn the matter over to congress.
Meanwhile the unions are getting
impatient and have set Labor Day
Sept. 4th, as the day to quit labor
ing. The public seems to favor q
careful investigation before an ar.
bitration board, and should the
men refuse this method and force
a strike, with Its consequent ca
lamity to the public, they would
arouse prejudice against their
cause.

Hearne is known as one of the most
careful drivers in competition, having
driven 1O0-mile races several times
without a stop. His method of hand.
ling car brought him $4,000 in
money at Columbus, O., in May, when
through clever manipulation of the
wheel he outdistanced fourteen other
starters, never stopping once through
the entire century grind.
Johnny Raimey was said by the late
Bob Burman to be the hardest man
to beat on dirt track Raimey has
raced all over the world since 1908.
In 1911 his racing career was nearly
ended at Havana by a native who
had wagered money on another car
and who purposely tossed a large rock

it into ditch

County School Letter
By supt. G. G. Elites,

Examination for First Grade
Certificates occurs on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week.
The Springfield Public Schools
will open on September 11th, with
the same efficient corps of teachers
as last year.
Eva Grow began teaching in Dis
trict No. a on August 21st. Thus
far this is the only school report
ing to have opened on that date.
We are glad to note the growing
tendency among school officers in
refusing to consider mono but regu.
larly qualified teachers of record
and experience.
There are a few school boards
| who have just discovered that it is
time to hire teacher for the COM
ing year. They all want "good
teachers" but we are afraid that
the best teachers have all been ia
ken for several weeks.
Lillian Abbott writes from Los
Angeles and incloses her certificate
of institute attendance for record
IN this office. If every teacher
would follow this plan and attend
to such matters promptly, the
work of the Office would be greatly
relieved.
The teacher who is unable to
pass an examination with suf.
ficient grades to secure even
Third Grade Certificate, is certain
ly not fit person to be placed in
charge of a school room, no matter
how much native teaching ability
she may have.
These are busy days for both
teacher and student. The teacher
is making final preparations for
the commencement of her years

his last effort in appearing to On.

and pupil will be happy when they
