GIVE THE BOY A LANTERN"
Sound Advice for the Farmer, and
Also Works Well Along tho
Lines of Education,

A writer in one of the farm papers
has suggestion for fathers who
wish to keep their sons on the farm.
Give the boy lantern" he says.
His idea, as he expands it, is that the
boy, once the lantern is his own prop
erty, will make his work pleasanter
by using it. He will do work before
dawn and after dark more cheerfully
because his lantern takes away the
darkness and the sense of drudgery.
We do not have lanterns in the
city, but the Gary school system
gives our boys something to light
their lives with. 1t shows them that
there is something in life besides poll
parrot study, street corner loafing and
the perfunctory search, later on, for
"a job" 1t is lantern that shows
them what is suited to their tempera-
ments and tastes. Instead of look
ing forward with dread to the day
when they must go out and find a
job" they look with eagerness to the
time when they can use their knowl-
edge and their skill in lines Of work
to which they have become attached.
"A Job" becomes the job. and
the job is eagerly waiting for the boy.

The fight that has been started
against Hans DeMuth, one of the
delegates to the national conven-
tion, recommended by the har-
mony meeting at Mitchell, is nut
calclated to promote much har-
mony in the republican primaries.
The only grounds for such opposi-
ton seems to be that Mr.. DeMuth
is openly opposed to the nomina.
tlon of Col. Roosevelt for president.
This fact Was known before he was
recommended ald in this he does
not differ from at least half of the
delegation. MIR. DeMuth Is Ger
man by birth, but no charge has
been made that be is not loyal to
his adopted country nor to his
party and this would be the only
grounds on which opposition would
be justified. If the candidacy OF
Roosevelt is to be the issue then
there will be no chance for com
promise and 1t will mean continued
and prolonged warfare between the
factions of the republican party.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Senator W. FL. McMaster, of
Yankton, candidate for lieutenant
governor on the republican ticket,
gave an address on the street here
last Saturday evening. Mr.. Nc
Master is q forc1ble speaker and
his experience in legislative mat
ters has given him a familiarity
with the management of state af-
fairs which enables him to speak
from the records. He knocked the
foundation from the charges made
by Mr.. Egan in his speech and left
very little for them to stand on.
The weakest portion of his talk was
his plea for the rural credit law
which he predicts will be enacted
if the constitutional amendment is
passed. Undoubtedly ruralcred-
it system could be worked out
that would be of some benefit to
borrowers of money, but a system
such at he suggested would break
a corporation, stats ur nation
in less than five years. The other
portions of his address consisted of
facts well presented and they were
we'll received by the audience.

The people are beginning to re-
alize that they have some inter.
ests to look after in the matter of
settling wage disputes between the
railroads and their employees. If
the railroad companies wish
to raise transportation rates we
require that they first prove to
the interstate commerce commits
sion that such raise is necessary.
If the employees wish to force a raise
in wages amounting to 100000,
600 why should they not likewise
be required to prove that such
raise is necessary? The public
will have TO pay it in the end, and
we have right to know whether
the extra burden is just.

The danger of a binder twine
famine seems to have been averted
for this season. The Ucatan Plan
ters' Association agreed to furnish
125,000 bales of sisal which was
to be distributed among the twine
manufacturers by the federal trade
commission. The commission has
reported that the demands will all
be met, but the prices will un-
doubtedly be higher than in former
years.

From the annual report of the
census in 1915, compiled by the His
torical Department, the total popu-
lation Of the state is 5S2,765. And
the per capita tax for the year 1915
is 1925.
Yet, in spite of these indisputable
figures, it is claimed in a campaign
story that South Dakota's decrease
in population is due principally be-
cause of increase of taxation
The statement lis ridiculous. South
Dakota is the most economically
governed state in the union.
1t is we'll known to the observ-
ing that the slight decrease in pop
ulation was wholly due to the thous-
aads Of new settlers attracted to the
newly opened Indian lands in the
western part of the state a few
years ago; and who either COM
muted their entries or abandoned
them after brief residence and
left the state. However, it may not
be generally known, but it is fact,
that large numbers of these former
settlers are returning this spring to
their lands, as we'll as many new
home seekers.
The population east of the Mis-
souri, river has steadily increased.
