A. II. WHEATON PASSES ON

The funeral of Albert II. Wheaton.
once a resident Of Brookings, occurred
at Clark on Saturday, December 22nd.
He went to the hospital at Rochester
from his home in Rapid City, last fail,
and had two operations for gall stones,
from the second of which he never
rallied. The body was taken direct
from Rochester to Clark by two sons,
Ray and Albert. both of Deadwood,
his wife being i'll and unable to be
present, and inferred by the side of
his first wife. under the auspices of
the Masonic lodge.
A. II. Wheaton was born in Fond
du Lac, Wis, April 5th, 1851. Edu-
Gated and learned the cheese business
and married in that state. In 1884,
on account of his wife's health, he
moved to Clark county and took a
claim q miles southwest Of Clark. In
1886 his wife died and in 1887 he mar
ried the wife who survives him. One
daughter and three son were born
of the first marriage, one of whom,
Walter H., was burned to death dt
Deadwood last summer. TWO sons by
the second marriage, their mother and
the others named survive him.
In 1890 he was appointed a regent
of the Agricultural College and while
on the board worked hard to estaD-
lish the dairy department. He was
made its first head and professor in
1891. and served until the dairy build
ing burned in 1897. For three years
he devoted himself to establishing co
operative creameries throughout the
state and was highly successful. In
1900 he again assumed charge OF the
dairy work at the college and served
until 1907, when he was appointed
food and dairy commissioner OF the
state by Governor Elrod. In this of
fee he made a notable record and es-
tablished the food and dairy supervi-
sion on a firm basis. After this term
of office he moved to Rapid City and
was engaged in the real estate and in
surance business up to the time of his
last illness.
The State College owes to him the
early establishment of its dairy school
and the dairying interests of the state
can always trace back to his efforts
and persistency the foundation on
which their rapid rise in the past
year has been so successful.
Some of the hardest battles ever
fought by a pure food department took
place during his administration of the
commissioners office, and the state
was always the winner on account of
the hard work and fighting ability of
AL. Wheaton. For the past eight
years he has been out of public life,
but all of his life in Dakota before
that was devoted to doing things 10
build up the territory and state, and
his energy and insistence were strong
factors in making him successful in
many of the plans that he worked for.
He was a strong friend and a good
worker for and with his many friends.
The Register joins with them all over
!, the state in extending sympathy to
the Borrowing family.

SOCIALISM

State socialism, government pater.
nalism, has been the curse of Ger
many. 1t is the twin of autocracy,
and as such has no place in America.
The world has paid too high a price
for its liberties that it should allow
its freedom to be destroyed by the
bolshevists,. Individual rights and
liberties are a part of our constitu-
ton; the spirit of America. We must
guard those rights and liberties from
the rabid element who would take
them away from us thru camouflaged
offers of more liberty, a new social
order and equal division of wealth.
The way to these things by the way
Of the bolshevist route is lined with
wreck, anarchy and bloodshed, with
no chance for arrival at the destina-
ton which they profess to be seeking.

COMMON SENSE

"This is the time for sound sense to
come to the 'front.'" says the Daily
Commercial News. at is time the
constructive genius of the American
people took hold of things and made
POSSIBLE the great era of national
prosperity. We have pointed out be-
fore this that there will be breath
il G spell before this era of construc-
ton begins. There is sure to be a
period of hesitancy and tumble in
prices of all commodities, with the
possible exception of the labor COM
modify, which will have to liquidate
later and with difficulty. There is the
II b. Labor should not be made to
liquidate suddenly, ard, if those at the
head of government work, such as
ship building and munitions, are wise
they will take on the disagreeable
task of lowering the wage peak load
imposed on the peope gradually and
with as little jar as possible. Unfor-
tunately, if we may Judge by the nu-
n1erous strikes, which have occurred
at the most untimely moments, an
With such fearfully increased cost OF
production and attendant disaster to
cur men abroad, we can not hope for
any exhibition of broad craftsmanship
among those who presume to lead the
labor hosts. The fly in the ointment,
therefore, is found right here, and
right here should sound sense and JUS
tioe to all prevail.
