NEGRO BOY, RECLAIMED FROM DELINQUENCY,
WOULD NAME GOAT AFTER BELOVED JUDGES
Combination Title of Youth His Appreca
MacNl Opinion
useofD

A momentous question is dividing opinion
between two factions at the House of De.
tention.
Shall the beloved goat of Edward Turner.
who makes his home at the House of Deten-
ton, be named after Judge Charles L.
Brown or Judge Raymond MacNeille? For,
says little Edward Turner, don't people
always name their children or the animals
they like best after the people they admire
most?
And, says Edward, the Judges are all the
family he has. He likes them both very
much, and maybe they'd like It. II they
don't of course he won't do It, but II the
Judges appreciate the honor in the spirit in
which 1t is conferred, Edward Turner's goat
will soon be christened Raymond.Charles
The regeneration of Edward and the
acquisition of the goat, according to every
one at the House of Detention, Is a story
worthy of five reel fllm.
Edward made his first appearance" said
Judge MacNeille, before the Juvenile Court
about a year and a half ago. He was
scared to death by the Court and even
more afraid of an institution. Edward had
an unusually vicious temper"
Edward, before he was brought to the
Court, lived in one of the negro sections
of the city with an old negro woman, whom
he loved and called Nanny. AS far as
his memory could tell he hadn't any father
or mother.
Because he was so very lame Edward
was allowed many privileges by the police
The neighborhood considered itself his fos-
ter parent and overlooked his many de-
linquencies.

STATE DEVELOPMENT.

I'll a sort Of invasion Of the domain Of private enterprise, We
admit, for the state to engage in the development of Its own resources
but the people are fast losing fear Of the public ownership and
operation of public utilities
The proposition To utilize the power of The Missouri river is a
ease in point The people OF the state appear TO be beginning to look
with some degree of favor upon the suggestion, whereas a genera
tin ago they would have been inclined TO doubt the business sanity
of any man who would urge such a course.
The time should come when rural communities should have all
the modern. convenienees Of which the cities boast. The man who
tils the soil and earns his bread by the sweat of his face should be
able TO read by electric light as well as he who derives his living
through the manipulation of Standard Oil stocks and bonds.
There rs sufficient power going to waste IN the Missouri river,
within the borders Of the state of South Dakota, TO illuminate prac-
ticaly every home and m addition thereto to turn the driyewheels
IN every shop and factory In the state.
The question arises whether we shall utilize this power-wheth-
er We shall use the states credit and the states machinery to make
this power available for the freades and the industrial enterprises
of the people.
When Doane Robinson first suggested the Harvesting Of the
missouri river for the purpose indicated, and for the additional
purpose OF providing means for irrigating thousands of acres of land
on either side OF the stream. the feasibility Of the project was ser
iously doubted.
But the proposition is now conceded to be worthy of thoughtful
consideration It is not a wild and visionary as it may have
seemed.
Other dreams of no greater praetieability have come true. Why

The dry vote in South Dakota is indicative Of a desire 0 the

the promotion of sobriety.

TO put the state into the dry colmn, but the three together were a

HUGHES OR WILSON?

At the hour OF inditing these lines the presidential election re
mains in doubt.
The democratic and the republican managers are not agreed,
and until the returns are sufficiently canvassed to be decisive both
sides viii be loud in claiming the victory.
But, while The Saturday News supported Mr.. Hughes. believing
his election to be best calculated to promote the interests of the
United States and the people composing this government. it has
not been able to agree with Mr. Wilson'S critics who have con
tended that he is not a patriotic and high-minded citizen of this
country.
While we believe Mr.. Wilson policies, in the main, to be such
rs will not subserve the best interests Of the country. we grant that
Mr.. Wilson is a man OF high ideals and that be is a worthy citizen
Of this great republic.
The bulk Of the republicans who voted for him will probably
regret 1t inside OF TWO years but that will not affect the character
Of the man, nor viii ii detraet from his sincerity OF purpose.
Should the complete returns show that he was elected for
another term Of four wears. he win be- entitled to the cooperation
Of the people in the promotion Of ali worthy enterprises.
