CHAS. LANGLEY A SUICIDE

The news reaches us today
Of the suicide the latter part of
last week in Chicago Of Charles
D. Langley, for several years a
resident of the Grindstone coun-
try, and under the Chas. A. Price
regime deputy auditor of Stan
ley county. He was married to a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Shoemaker. pioneers at Grind
stone, whose death occurred at
Fort Pierre several years ago.
Since that time he has been
married twice and his last wife
had been seeking a legal separa-
ton. He has been in Chicago
since 1912 and the sad ending is
the result of that pace which
kills. He was at liberty under a
bond of $25, 900 for the embezzle-
ment of $4,000 from W. V. Fos-
ter, in whose employe he has
been for several Years past.
Charlie was a likable fellow
and had many friends out in this
country who heard with deep re-
greet of his manner of living
in recent years. That he should
take his own life will be sad
news to all Of them.

REGISTRATION WOMEN
NOT COMPLETE
TO CONTINUE THREE DAYS MORE
PHILIP DELINQUENT SO FAR

There seems to be a general
misunderstanding in regard to
the registration of women. Reg
istration was held every after
noon last week in Philip and
here were at least seventy wo-
men who did not respond to
the call. No service is asked or
expected Of a woman, except
what she may freely offer, but
she is requested and expected by
the government to register in
any case, that the woman's war
census may be complete.
Women have had the protec-
ton of the government as Well
as the men. Should we allow the
men to go to the front and
make if necessary the sacrifice
of their lives, while we remain in
the security Of our comfortable
homes, with no effort on our
part to do our share, too? No, a
thousand times no. Here and
now is the time for every self
respecting and loyal American
woman to volunteer her servic-
es: if not in position to do
his. she should at least respond
TO the requests Of the govern
ment, which are very trivial. To-
day everyone is either patriot or
traitor-there is no longer any
middle ground.
If we have no trained ability,
we can all learn to do some
thing, so if we can spare only
a day or half day a week, we
can do our bit willingly.
A card index of the woman
power of South Dakota is need
ed. Washington wants to know
what the women of our state can
and will do to help win the
var, and our state wants to
know what her 10000 women
over the age Of sixteen years can
and will do. All patriotic women.
loyal to the United States. will
register so that the National
Council in Washington may
know that the women Of South
Dakota united do stand behind
the President in pushing to a
victorious finish the tremendu-
ons war for Democracy and
Liberty for all peoples.
The registration booth will be
opened again on the afternoons
Of February 2, 4 and S, in the
Security Bank building. We hope
every woman who. has not regis
tered will do SO, as we do
rot want to report Philip as a
delinquent town and thus spoil
the good record she already
has for patriotism.

County chairman.
