Critics Should Be Made to Qualify

We should like to see some legislation to compel an interest in good government, rather to furnish an incentive to interest. We should favor law tending to make men work for good government in city, county and state rather than to indulge in futile criticism of bad government. We would have it made misdemeanor for voter to vilfy crtcise, even in mild language, any government under which he happens to reside, bad gov ernmcnt, but would leave him certain means of defense against prosecution.
 He should be compelled to prove certain things first that he had voted at the election at which the officials whom he criticises were chosen: that he had attended the primaries where candidates flor election were nominated and that he had taken the interest that every good citizen ought to take in the matter of choosing good candidates and eliminating lad ones that he had tried induce his neighbors and friends to take such an interest

ENDORSE DECORATION DAY

The Commercial Club at its April
meeting adopted the following Reso-
luton:
Resolved, That we commend the
Lessons of patriotism and Of fealty to
our beloved government, taught and
exemplifed by the Grand Army, Sons
Of Veterans and Women's Relief Corp
and that we honor and revere those
men and women who have risked and
given their lives that our government
might survive and that while we recog-
nize the great necessity of high and
noble character in times Of peace, we
also realize that we must necessarily
sacrifice human life to protect honor
in time OF war;
Therefore, Remembering these self
evident truths we most earnestly urge
that our business people and citizens
generally join with those organizations
and lend their active influence and &C
tual presence at the Decoration Day
services to be held both morning and
afternoon of May 30th next; and that
the business and public buildings and
private homes be appropriately dec
grated in honor of this sacred day. Let
us intensity the impressions made by
the deeds of heroic men and women in
honor and love of country on the minds
of the younger generations and renew
our W VOWS to support the principles
Of virtue, patriotism and equal rights
to ell.

BIG CIRCUS SOON HERE

There is n day in the year when
everyone feels young. That day is no
other than circus day and the annual
affair comes this year on Thursday,
May rs and on which occasion Gollmar
Brothers bring their big circus and
menagerie and trained wild animal ex-
hibition to Brookings. This year as in
all others, they will bring many new
and sensational features, and Gollmar
Brothers Circus, so different than other
shows bring and exhibit everything
that they purport to have. The Gollmar
Brothers are always welcome to our
city. They are regular visitors and
have a big honest show and are all
that they claim to be. Never in any
of their visits to our city have they
brough: one Objectionable feature.
Their methods are clean and their per-
formances always high-class and re-
fined. The lack of boisterous rowdy-
ism with the Gollmar Brothers Shows
is noticeable at all times and this NAM
moth tented city oIne and goes in
their usual quiet and gentlemanly man
ner and makes for our city one of the
biggest and most entertaining long to
be remembered days of the year and
adding to their already large hosts Of
friends. They give their usual long
street parade with the beautiful ex-
hibit of horses, elephants, camels,
floats, bands, chariOts, caliopes and
beautifully trapped mounted section,
etc.
The largest Hippopotamous in Cap
tivity, bands of music, two calliopes,
funny clowns and endless numbers of
beautiful gilded open dens of rare and
expensive wild beasts. Remember the
date. Mark your calendar. Bing your
whole family and make this the one
big holiday of the year.

AS recently as two years ago, the

the Motion Picture play has helped i'm.
measureably. not only to vastly extend

LIBRARY GROWING

The Carnegie Library is gradually
being put to greater use as indicated
by the comparative report given be-
low. The total number of books bur-
rowed during April is some lower than
that Of March due largely to the fact
that people are outside more during
the warmer months. The adults were
greater users of fiction but read less
non-iction than the children.
