Last Saturday was not very good
day for travel, yet goodly number of
the teachers brayed the storm and at
tended the various divisions of the
district institute.
Exceptionally strong papers were
presented at the Tyndall meeting on
Saturday. Those who missed the
demonstration work in the phonics
class by Miss Shelley missed real
treat.
The program cf the Tyndall institute
division was greatly improved by the
presence of Mrs. Blxby, Mrs. McBurney
and Mr.. White, who gave several beau
tiful readings and musical selections
for the inspiration of teachers.
A recent issue of the Beresford Re
public mentioned Olivet and Utica as
little cities of unique characteristics.
To this list we would add the town of
Blaha for the reason that it is probably
the only town in the state or even i'm

road and yet receives Its mail by rural

Miss Grace DeGraff, of Portlan

Mics Grace DeGraff, of Portland
Oregon, member of the Ford
peace party, has returned and stop
ped at Aberdeen where she former.
ly taught school. She thinks the
peace com mission will not prove to
be complete failure, because a
permanent commission has been
left at The Hague which she thinks
will become a sort of "~.,aring
house" for peace proposals. This
is beautiful thought, but We sur.
mise that when the wsrring ma.
tions get ready to submit terms of
peace it will be to some organiza.
tion with official authority, and
not to an organization "without
pride of ancestry or hope of pos.
terity."

The appointment of Louis D.
Brandeis, of Boston, as successor
to the late Justice Lamar, on the
supreme court bench, is somewhat
in the nature OF an experiment.
Mr. Brandeis is a great trial

somewhat of a radical. He has
won his distinction as a special

the ability to properly weigh all
sides Of a case and decide imparti-
ally is something yet to be deter.

ed OF husband and wife dying twenty
two hours apart and of the same all
ment. Such, however. was the case Of
John Soukup, aged eighty years and
his wife. Anna, aged seventy-three
years, old pioneers residing northeast
of town. The old lady died of influenza
or grippe last Sunday at 5 40 p. M, and
the old gentleman followed her on
Monday at 2:s0 p. m.
s Joe Pably, who is working in the
local garage, met with serious accident
last Friday afternoon about four o'clock
when blow torch in the repair shop
set fire to his clothing with the result
that he was horribly burned on his face
hands and body. The burns are very
serious; but DR.. Black is OF the opinion
that be will recover, although it will
take perhaps two to three months.

Wagner Eagle-A wealthy farmer
not far away was arrested recently for
putting small cards advertising his sale
in rural mail boxes without placing a
stamp on them. The carrier picked up
twelve and reported to the department.
The fine for dropping just one card in
a box is $so0.f0. Although the mail
boxes are the property of the parron
still the postal department has rules
covering their use so it will be cheaper
in the end tor all persons using these
boxes to place stamps on everything.

freight was delayed did not delay the
trial Of a case before Judge Meighen, of
Scotland, yesterday, when judge, prin-
ciples. witnesses and attorneys We're
aboard the same train and bound for
Yankton.
Attorney Joseph Janousek, of this
city, had gone to iyndaIl on legal
business aud was very eager to COM
plete all buoiness SO as to return home
on the morning freight. The case in
which he was interested was rushed at
Tyndall, the entire court going without
supper. In the meantime the train
arrived and the entire staff of court
officials and others interested boarded
the train, and the case was continued
while the train slowly wended its way
toward Yankton. 1t required six hours
for that train to get to Yankton, and
after it had arrived here the court fin
ished the case in Yankton.
There we have it. A case started in
Tyndall, continued on slowly moving
Milwaukee freight and finally compile
ted when the train arrived at its desti-
nation. Jos. Janousek of this city and
Roscoe Satterlee were the attorneys in
the case.

Governor Byrne has called an
extra session of the Legislature to
meet on the eighth day of Febru.
ary for the purpose of amending
the primary law which was enacted
at the last session. The law as
passed was q poorly constructed
piece Of legislation. The date for
holding the primary was fixed too
late. Counting the coming ma.
tional convention, four out Of the
last ten republican national con-
ventions have been called on or be-
fore June 7th. and others have
been too early to permit of legal
canvass of votes after a primary
held June 9th, and permit of Ger.
tifioates being legally issued to
delegates. An attempt was made
in the law to provide for an extra
primary in such cases, but for sew
eral reasons this feature of the law
was not workable. There will also
be some difficulties to overcome in
the extra session plan and in fact
the matter is so mixed up that a
strictly legal method of selecting
delegates seems to be impossible,
and If We are represented in the
convention some technical questions
will have to be waived.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Before President Wilson spends
too much time and energy trying
TO convince the public that we
should spend billions of money on
a preparedness scheme, he should
be able to assure us that he has
found the leak and has a method
for stopping it. The records show
that our expense for support Of
army and navy is now $313, ,2O4,
$50 90, more than any other coun-
try in the world, save France aud
Russia. The people want prepar-
edness and have supposed that
they were getting it. If our army
and navy is as powerless as the
President pictures it, where has
our money gomez OF course
dollar spent in any European
country will go farther than 1t will
in America, and consequently our
appropriation will have to be larg.
or to procure the same results.
With due allowance FOR this the
need for new system of manage
ment is apparent and the President
should have some revisions to sug-
gest.

Freeman Courier-Rumor has it that
Sam Walters relatives intend to bring
suit for damages against Bon Hemme
county, alleging that the condition of
the road was responsible for the acci-
dent. These stories are circulated but
they are without foundation. We no-
tice some of our exchange papers are
making mention Of it. Sam Walters
relatives are convinced that the road
where the accident happened was in
good shape. They went over and ex-
amined the place three days after the
accident and found the road in excel
lent condition.

The Ledger's candid opinion is
that Congressman Dillon voiced
the majority sentiment ofthe voters
of his district when he made the
statement that he was opposed to
the preparedness program. OF
course it is hard for the people in
general to know what is needed for
our national defense; but Congress
man Dillon is in position to know
the facts and he being interested in
the welfare of the people instead of
being interested in the welfare of
munition manufacturers, his opin-
ion on the matter is most valuable
to his constituency. People gener-
ally believe the preparedness of
European powers is responsible
more than any other one thing for
the horrible war now going on in
Europe.-Lesterville Ledger.
Il is interesting to note that
since making the statement tina,
the Ledger refers to, Congressman
Dillon has made another in which
he says he Is in favor of "reason.
able Preparedness" The trouble
with going on without any pre-.
paredness is that our decision ir
this matter does not affect tht
policy of the European countries.
They will 60 on preparing nc
matter what we may do. Now il
it is true that the preparedness o.
European. powers is responsible fol
the present war, what assuranc.
have we that it will not be respon
sihle for anotherS II preparedness
breeds q lust for conquest, wha
assurance have we that the mex
conquest will not involve American
territory, and if SO, in what condi
ton are we to defend ourselves
It is not a question of our desires
but of our necessities that we are
forced to consider in this prepared
ness issue.

 The First Phase.

As to the fight itself, details at hand show that when it began at 3:45 on Wednesday afternoon between battle cruisers of the rival fleets it was somewhat misty, with range of vis- ion lot much over five miles.
 The two squadrons of battle cruiseia were pretty evenly matched, and by some brilliant maneuvering Admiral Beatty managed to get between the Germans and their base This is where the mistfavored the Germans, for out of it suddenly appeared the German hattleships and Beatty had to turn off. Admiral Beatty's fleet put up mag nificient fight against odds, and it was here the Queen Mary, the Indefatig- able and the Invincible received their death blows, but not before they made the Germans pay dearly for their suc- cess. Admiral Hood was flying his flag on the Invincible. Beatty says in his report:
 "Hcod led his squadron into action with the greatest gallantry.' Shortly afterward Jelicoe arrived with his bulldogs" and the Germans | immediately took to their heels and Jelicoe s'arted in hot pursuit. The mist saved the Germans from severe punishment. As it was, he wa: able to inflict severe damage, Eleven British battleships took part in the actual fighting. Others were there, but the intuition returned show tey did not fire a shot.
