Mr.. CLARK HAS
BEEN MlSlNFORMED

To The Editor.
For fear that some people
who read Mr.. Clark's letter in
your last weeks paper, and who
are not familiar with conditions
as they are, might believe that
he is telling the truth | wish to
state that the work of securing
a county agent for this county
is entirely that of the Pomona
Grange Of this county assisted
by the more progressive of the
local oranges. There is abso-
Ilutely no outside influence at
work. AS a member of the agri-
cultural committee of the Po-
mona Grange l will say that Mr..
Maris, state leader Of county
agents was requested to ex-
plain the work in this county.
t1e could not come so sent Mr..
M. o. Evans, his assistant, who
is an employee of the U. S. Dept.
of Agriculture, to appear before
the oranges and to speak with
all those he could come in touch
with. This is part of his work
and costs no one any money.
Will say furthermore that
have heard of no farmer re-
ceiving any letter from outside
sources requesting him to use
his influence with the county
court In this matter.
: Progressive, we'll posted, ant
well read farmers need no urg
. ling from outside people to thi
as their better judgement viii
convince them that it is TO
, their best interests to do so vol
unfairly.
If Mr.. Clark would take tim'
! to investigate matters befor
rushing into print it might say
/, him the embarrassment of be
|, ing publicly corrected.
Respectfully,
Conrad Christensen.

HARD ON THE KNOCKER

After God had finished the
rattlesnake, the toad and the
vampire, He had some awful
substance left with which he
made a knocker. A knocker is
a two-legged animal with cork
screw soul, a water-sogged
brain, a combination backbone
made of jelly and glue. Where
other people have their hearts,
he carries a tumor of rotten
principles. When n knocker
comes down the street, honest
men turn their backs, the angels
Of Heaven take precipltate re-
fuge behind their harps, and the
devil barlocks the gates of hell

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS MUST
SET EXAMPLE

Much of South Dakota is located
either adjoining or near an Indian
reservation. For nearly one hun
dred years it has been the policy
of this government, as expressed
by the enactments of Congress and
decisions of the Supreme court.
that it was a misdemeanor to give
an Indian intoxicated liquor. The
States of the South, except two,
seem to have come to the same
conclusion in regard to the negro.
having enacted Prohibition laws.
Is the Caucasian race so wise and
superior that it can say to the Ind
ian and the negro ''You cannot
touch-you have no right to-our
wine, gin and brandies?" That is
the question that is involved in
Licence or No License, which is
equivalent to ''Prohibition in
spots. "
United States Indian Commiss-
ioner Sells it seems is enforcing
this principle of moral law on the
Indian reservations, as expressed
in the following quotation from
one of our exchanges:
''If liquor is bad for the Indian
it is also had for the employees of
the Indian service.
'sThat is what Cato Sells, United
States Indian Commissioner. of
Washington, DC. pointed out in
an address to the 22O superifftend
ents teachers and Indian service
EMPLOYEES at the United States In
dustrial School.
.sMr Sells called attention to the
increase of $50, 900 in the Indian
appropriation this year and said
that be intends to wage vigorous

FOR PROHIBITION. VOTE Yas

An organization has sprung up
i'm South Dakota with headquarters
at Watertown havino for its OBJ
iect the defeat of the Prohibition
amendment to the constitution of
the South Dakota which is to be
voted on at the fall election. and
is sending out considerable adver-
tising matter to the newspapers of
the state The Press is first. last
and all the time for the proposed
amendment. If certain people
would drink their drinks without
Lecoming drunk. and making
themselves a general nuisance to
the man who tries to square his
life with moral standards, The
Press might possibly be induced to
support the cause of local option,
which the new organization is in
favor of, in other words they want
30 leave the prohibition question
where it is now.
The Press believes that intox
icating liquors are poison, from
start to finish. to the man who
drinks temperate!y as we'll as the
man who ends up his earthly car
eer with delirium tremens, or who
gets so infamed from its use that
he wants to s'paint the town red, "
or who has no regard for those
who want to see the local option
as we'll as other prohibition laws
enforced.
The policy of appealing from
"Philip drunk" to sPhilip SOBER
may be fun, or a matter of prin-
ciple, with some people, but hun
dreds of people believe that no
nation can exist "half drunk and
half sober" as was said of slavery
The ''goody goody" man, SO
called, has the same right to inj ect
his moral principles into politics
as the other man has to put his
views into politics.
People nowadays being general
ly able to read, we cannot see how
voter can decide the right or
wrong Of the Prohibition Amend
ment from a few weeks campaign
of ''advertising matter" that is
very apt to be one sided.

BRlQU ETTING
PLANT
Contract let for Plant on Missouri
River

Charles A johnson cf Fairfax.
president of the johnson Fuel
company has contracted for the
erection of six unit Fernholz
Briquetting plant to be located on
the bank of the Missouri near Bis
mark. The matter of securing
coal in South and North Dakota to
solve the fuel problem expense in
these two states has been before
the people lately, and the result is
this enterprise, which begins first
in North dakota.
The sentiment is now expressed
that since The company chose
North Dakota for the location
there is the more reason why the
state of Sonth Dakota should give
state aid to similar enterprise in
this state, when the amendment to
be voted upon this fall passes, as
is expected, permitting state aid
to internal Improvement.
The johnson plant will be in
operation by November 1, and will
have a capacity of $50 tons daily,
or Is car loads. In the spring the
company will begin supplying the
Missouri river towns with coal via
river. johnson himself has had
years of river experience. prior to
the building of the railroad to

Lack of fresh air it is said weakens

Spend as much time as you pos

PRIDE IN LABOR.

| Let us teach our children to earn what they
get-to give useful service in such measure as
in their tender years they may give, without
hardship. By which is meant not odious child
labor binding children down to steady work
but the little errands-the little helpful things,
aside from the usual duties of home life-the
useful, although not irksome, deeds that boys
and girls may do, without detriment to their
health and without crowding the time that
!rightfully belongs to them for play. For these
things let them be reasonably compensated, so
that they early may learn the value OF earning
their own way-of being self-supporting, when
they advance in years.
, 1t requires tact and good Judgment to sep
arate little kindnesses and little thoughtful
nesses on the part of children, those acts for
which they should not be paid but which they
should be taught to do as second mature habit,
from the unusual service for which parents or
outsiders properly may remunerate the little
ones. The cardinal purpose should be to let
children grow naturally and logically into the
habit of being self-reiant, of having a worthy
pride in sustaining themselves, as they come to
maturity. If all children had instiled into
them habits Of industry and were imbued with
the pride that would disdain to accept charity
so long as it can be avoided-the pride that i'm
pels men and women to do the best they can
even though adversely may impose disagreeable
conditions upon them-but who insist upon
earning their own way-if there were more OF
this pride there would be fewer chronic idlers
But, sufficient unto the keen desire for work
should be the opportunity to get work. 1t is un-
deniable that many a deserving man, industrl-
Gus by nature, too proud to accept charity SO
long as he can avoid it, is compelled to be the
recipient Of aid because he cannot secure work
assuring livelihood Every man should want
to work And there should be work for every
man who wants it.

PEACEFUL CUBA.

Cuba's celebration of the eighteenth anniver-
sary of the founding Of the republic draws at
tention to the fact that the islanders are
strangely at peace with one another. Cuban
politics. for once is conducted without assas-
sination, crop burning or night riding. No
sound of firearms is heard in the land except
that made by the agriculturists blazing away
at feathered maurauders.
Cuba was never as bad in the matter of re-
bellion or civil war as Mexico has been in the
last three or four years. 1t is probable that the
island has entirely broken itself of the habit of
putting the torch to the matched roofs wreck
ing trains and sniping undesirable statesmen.
The United States can take the credit for bring
ing about this condition Of peace. Some day it
may do the same in regard to Mexico.

The SUFFRAGE Vote.

Des Moines Tribune: OF chief sig.
nificance In the suffrage election is
the fact that the entire majority
against equal suffrage was contained
in the two counties of Dubuque and
Scott. With these two counties elm
mated, suffrage would have carried
by about 1000 votes in the state.
They cast 1912 votes for suffrage
and 11,s15 against, an average ma
jority of 5000.
The four adjoining river counties
of Scott, Clinton, Jackson and Du-
buque rendered a majority against
suffrage of 9,s35.
All of the counties bordering on
the Mississippi gave majority of
1905 in the negative.
Suffrage carried Iowa, outside the
river counties, by approximately
900
