CLATE TINAN

Sioux City Journal-The retirement
OF c. r. Tinan fro,n ownership of the
Kimball Graphic marks the passing
Of n of South Dakota's veteran
newspaper editors and publishers.
For thirty-five years, or since 1883, he
had owned the Graphic-and thirty
five years is a long time in a new
state like South Dakota. Although
the Graphic is, according to Mr.. Tin
ans W statement, only "a little
country newspaper in a little country
town. its editor Is widely known in
the state. His friends are by no
means limited to the newspaper fra
ternity. His forceful personality has
given him a statewide reputation.
Men know him only to respect and
admire him. He has put the stamp
of his personality and his character
on his little country newspaper" the
Graphic. 1t always has carried a Wig
or, a freshness. an optimism and an
individuality which have set it apart
from other country newspapers in
South Dakota. The t~hirty-fve years
which Mr.. Tinan gave to Kimball and
his newspaper were years of severe
toll on his part. Only those who have
borne the heat and burden of main
tanning a country newspaper will be
able to appreciate fully how severe
and unremitting that labor must have
been. Long hours have been the rule
OF Mr.. Tinan's life, yet, now that the
burden has been shifted to younger
shoulders, he is able to confess that
he has been happy. that there have
been abundant compensations along
the way, and that he has not been
denied a satisfactory degree Of pros
perity. He does not disclose what
he plans for the future, but the news
paper boys Of South Dakota will say
that there is nothing too good for him.
They will wish him continued happi.
ness, prosperity and good health
wherever he may go and in whatever
he may undertake.

Mana z. Gilbert, for ten years the
editor OF the Salem Pioneer Register,
died at her home last week of PERM
cious anemia. and the body was taken
10 her former home at Osceola, Ia,
for burial. BY her wit and ability she
made the Pioneer-Register one of the
newsiest and most successful weeklies
in the state. She was a hard work
er, a brainy and brilliant woman and
a distinct ornament to the editorial
profession. AS a member of the WON.
ans board on investigation of state
institutions. her breadth of view and
practical common sense made her val
liable in the administration of these
establishments. She will be missed
throughout the state. as well as in her
community and at her own Preside.
Her husband and children have the
sympathy OF a wide circle of friends
and acquaintance.

THAT OCTOBER BLIZZARD

The only way to settle that dispute
about the date of the great blizzard
is to get the testimony Of a competent
witness. The Register interviewed
the Hon. G. A. Mathews and he says
he knows. because it was the day that
he and Jake Hopp had just got the
outside boards IN the new abode Of
the Kingsbury county News in De
Smet. 1t commenced to snow some
one the 14th, but on the 18th It was
In full blast and kept going until the

kota, died Monday in Sioux Falls, at

THE CROW'S-NEST

.
The soldier boy, when they return
from France, will remember to have
observed, or heard Of, at least two adj
mirable customs peculiar to the
French people. Each custom in it,
self shows the innate thoughtfulness
of almost every Frenchman and the
Unborn %politeness of a nation in many
Of its o~bseryances. In Paris especial
~ every citizen from the least to the
greatest, if on foot, will pause for a
moment and nco while the hearse
passes by in a funeral procession
whether he has known the family of
the deceased or not. AS a mark of
is very commendable. The other one
is that on election days when an cleo
tor has prepared his ballot and APP
proaches the ballot-box he uncovers
while depositing his ballot. To him
the right Of franchise is a sacred priv
ilege, as it We're. and he shows his
respect for his government by taking
off his hat while participating in the
highest function of national citizen
ship. We, in this country, too often
treat the right and act of voting as
a passing incident. A little more
formality in the casting of votes and
more official reserve in election boards
might increase our respect for
of franchise. The results might
be more in keeping with our much
praised form of government.

READERS OF THE REGISTER

Owing to the recent ruling of the Federal Trade
Commission in again raising the price of print
paper, we may have to raise the price of the
Register to $3.50 per year by the first of Janu-
airy next in order to make it pay expenses. Be-
fore the war broke out and since, we have been
exceedingly fortunate in our purchases, but
now, on account of the shortage and the rules
laid low by the War Industries Board, we are
limited to a certain allotment with the certainty
of being obliged to pay the highest market price
per pound that has prevailed in the thirty-fve
years we have been in the publishing business.
We are therefore advising those who read the
Register and enjoy its weekly visits and who
have failed to attend to their renewals to do so
at once before the price goes any higher.
