COLONEL ORR RESIGNS

State Soldiers Home at Hot Springs,
has resigned the position, his resigna-
ton to take effect July Is. Col. E. p.
Farr. of Pierre, has been appointed to
fill the vacancy. Col. Orr has made
one Of the best commandments the
Home has ever had and we anticipate
he has enjoyed the occupation but the
colonel has lived many years beyond
his allotted time and it is not to be
wondered at that he and Mrs. Orr
would like to retire at this time to
take life easy for the remainder of
their days.

voter the right to reject any proposed
change in any n section if he so de-
sires. This idea is the outgrowth of a
conference held in the reception room
Of the governor which was attended
by members of the supreme court. the
governor and other state officers, and
a number of legislative members.
While this was the general idea, when
Senator Dowdell sprung his resolu-
ton in the senate for the appointment
of a committee of members of both
houses to shape and present such
amendments, the members refused to
act upon the resolution until after
they had time to think it over, and the
vote on the resolution will not be
taken until the session re-assembles.
While it has little to do with legis-
lation n of the warm and amusing
contests Of the past week on the floor
of the house was that of the right to
smoke while the house is in session.
A rule prohibiting it had been adopted
by a close vote, and was got out on
reconsideration, with a general discus
sion ranging all the way from health
and sanitation down along the line of
the soothing effect of the weed on
tired souls when in a hot contest on
the floor. The smokers promised to
be moderate in the future except un-
der great stress, and the rule adopted
the day before was overthrow and the
smoking members have the right to
soothe their shattered nerves" after
a loosing battle, or to help along their
elation after a victory with clouds of
tobacco smoke.
While the adjournment of the SEES
sion was taken to Tuesday afternoon
the indication at present is that many
of the members will be slow getting
back on account of train service.

At meeting of the directors OF the

Director up to the time of his death.
During all the years that we have

him for attention. His influence and
work contributed very largely toward
the success of the Company and his
judgment and opinion were frequently
asked and readily given.
Each and every member of the
Board of Directors attest their appre-
citation of the valuable services render
ed by Mr.. Bishop and all feel that in
his death they have sustained per-
sonal loss as his many qualities en-
deared him to his associates.

BRITAIN IMPROVING
LOT OF THE BLIND
Many Reforms Under Way
Through Creation of Special
Commission.

London.-A great improvement is
being made by Great Britain In her
methods Of caring for the blind. This
not only applies to the care Of blinded
soldiers but to all classes of sightless
persons throughout England and
Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
More than three years ago com
mittee was appointed by Herbert SAM
uel, then president of the local gov
eminent board, to study the situation
of the blind and recommend methods
for improving their training and en-
ployment.
In the first place IT was found that
the government should establish cen
trail control organization for all exist
ing agencies Of voluntary help, which
could be far better utilized If centrally
controlled. 1t is proposed to set up
a separate department in the ministry
of health which will be devoted ex-
ciusively to the general care and super
vision Of the blind.
The crux Of Britain's problem is the
inadequacy Of workshops, which the
committee recommends should be
doubled, first by extension of the pres
ent shops and second by the construc-
ton of new and modern establish
ments. Even the sale of the handi-
work of blind persons has been neg
lected, and a plan of cooperative sell
ing is to be formed. augmented by n
cooperative plan of buying and dis
tributing raw material.
At present there are not sufficient
funds available, and In due time fur
Their grants from the government are
to be placed at the disposal Of the cen
trail authority.
The employment of blind teachers In
the elementary schools is to be eff
fected whenever possible on account OF
their adaptability to such an occupa-
ton and also because 1t is necessary
to give preference to blinded teachers
over those with sight or partial sight.
A detailed register Of blind children
is to be started in order to establish
careful system Of following up each
case through the medium of paid visit
dra. Wherever blind person enters
upon 3 professional life the govern
mept intends to see that there Is no
lach Of financial assistance at the
start.
