We quite agree with the Iroquois Chief in its advocacy of free text
books, in line with the verdict of the teachers of the state in convention
assembled in November. This is the Chiefs ndorsemen of the prop
osition:
THE state teachers association, in session at WATERFOWL last
week, unanimously endorsed a resolution favoing free tex books
for the schools of the state. The Chief, during the past few years,
has a number of times advocated this change and suggested that
South Dakota should get in line with other states that have adopted
this up to date plan. Now that the teachers association has heart
lily endorsed the free text book plan, possibly publicity will be given
to its merits and the legislature viii consider it."
In some states free text books have been provided for several years.
and, SO far as this paper is able Ito ascertain, with reasonable satisfaction
to the public.
But a word right here about the selection of text books, whether under
the free system o. otherwise.
The time for naming the text books in many of the counties Of this
state is hear at hand.
But the tentacles Of the text book trust have reached out in all direc-
lions, and have been extending and engulfng the public for the past twenty
years.
This is ne Of the means resorted to by the trust to maintain its hold:
leading factors in the selection of the tex books, and then it employs one
or two Or three, in a very quiet and. unobtrusive way of course, to do certain
work for it-perhaps visit neighborng counties or neighborng localities, and
then when the time arrives for action on the part of the officers constituting
the board of selection it has what amounts to salaried employees OF the
board.
We know OF men in South Dakota who have been thus employed. But
they have rendered service for the money they received, haven't they?
you ask.
Assuredly-Why, certainly, OF course! That is to say, those with a
conscience that is in any sort of working order have done so!
We know of other men who have been asked to accept employment for
the book trust-who- have been told by representatives of the trust that
they could get good wages" for visiting neighboring localities in the inter-
es of the trust, and especially for doing a little missionary work al the
opporune moment.
We believe that there has not been a selection of text books within the
past fifteen years in any county of South Dakota that has not been Influenced
to some extent by one or more paid employees of the book trust, who have
participated IS members of the selecting board,
If the text books are good and proper and the best, what of it? you ask
again. Oh! nothing, of course!
But it doesn't seem that it would be necessary to build up legitimate
business by such methods-now does it?

STERLING, eYRNE, CANDY.

Already the democratic newspapers, the few there are in the state, are
beginning to pit Congressman Candy against either Senator Sterling or
Governor Byrne fol the United States senate two years hence. These demo-
cratic journals seem to assume that Governor Byrne will be a candidate
for the republican nomination against Senator Sterling, and that Candy
the most popular member of the democratic party within the state,
will be the partys nominee for the some position.
It's quite a long way between political drinks, and two years is quite a
spell to wait, and unless we're greatly mstaken-and, of course, we may be

KEEP WARM ROOMS MOIST
State Health Bureau Says II Saves
Money as Well as Lives to Avoid
Too Dry Air.

MadisOn-"Fr0m an economic stand
point, as well as for health, heating
without moisture is extravagant, for
very dry air requires higher tempera-
ture to produce the same sensation of
warmth and comfort than does an at
mosphere with proper percentage of
MOISTURE says a state health bulletin.
ITO overcome this moisture, small re-
servoirs for water are attached to
furnaces. These are rarely kept full,
and even when they are not at all ade-
Quate. The simplest way of humidity
ing this air to the right degree is to
place containers filled with water on
or in front Of hot air registers or on
the radiators. The humidity of room
can be kept between 55 and G5 degrees
by evaporating about four and one-half
quarts per day; and Temperature Of
65 degrees SO maintained is as COM
Portable as one of 70 in a dry atmos-
phere. A room with a temperature Of
65 degrees and a humidity of between
60 and 70 degrees is the most COM
Portable"

For British Blockade of Ger
man Coast-Reerets Loss
OF Americans.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Germany has
submitted to the United States,
through Ambassador Won Bernstorff,
another written proposal designed to
bring about a settlement of the con-
troversy over the sinking of the
steamship Lusitania
There are indications that the doc
ument may bring to satisfactory ter
mination negotiations which have
been in progress for eight months.
Secret Negotiations.
Although the greatest secrecy sur
rounds the negotiations, it was stated
on excellent authority that Germany
finally had agreed to eliminate from
the text of the agreement any men
ton of the warning issued by the
German embassy the day the Lusi-
tania sailed from New York.
Mention of this warning is under
stood to have been contained in the
last proposal, which was rejected aft
er President Wilson had considered it..
1t is understood that Germany had
left out her proposed general reserva-
ton of admission of wrong doing on
the part of the submarine commander
to which the United States objected.
Warning Is Objectionable.
Mention of the warning is believed
TO have been most Objectionable to
the administration. In effect, it was
regarded as conveying the idea that
no American lives would have been
lost had the warning been needed.
1t was also stated authoritativeIy
that in it's latest communication Ger
many makes some reference to a de-
sire to see the United States take &C
ton in regard to the questions in
volying the freedom of the seas.
Torpedcing An Act of ReprisaI.
Germany reiterates clearly, it is
said, that the sorped0ing of the Lusi-
tania was an act of reprisal for the
British blockade Of the German coast
Extreme regret again is expressed
that Americans lost their lives in the
commission of the reprisal, and Ger
many freely offers PREPARATION in the
form Of indemnity.
The attention of the United States
is called to the fact that such forms OF
reprisaIs have been discontinued as
the result of negotiations with the
government and to the fact that bread
assurances for the future have been
given.
The German government is under
stood to be eager to settle the matter
in a manner mutually satisfactory. It
is said, however, that the proposal
now before the administration is con-
sidered to be final.
