s.THE WHITE MANS BURDEN

There are sections of the world
in which the inhabitants thereof are
unable to intelligently or capably
govern and manage themselves.
They are the backward spots on the
worlds surface, not necessarily
caused by failure of opportunity
for mental growth, because, for ex-
ample, Egyptian civilization once
scared high, and Carthage was the
rival of Rome, but today both OF
these African regions are under the
trusteeship Of other people.
In a recent map of these depend
ent people" in an intelligently edit
ed magazine of wide circulation, 1t
is interesting to notice where these
countries are whose people have not
shown the faculty of self-govern-
ment. Big splotches appear on the
worlds map representing all Of AT.
RIGA save the southern end, Arabia,
India, China and various islands
here and there. Significantly, con
sidering our own southern problem,
no nation is ruled properly by black
Inhabitants, neither do the brown
races, except in few cases, appear
to better advantage.

WHISKEY

The wiskey people Of the country
are using every effort possible to
set aside the 18th Amendment.
This Amendment is now apart OF
our organic law and to approve 1t
now is treason. The will of the peo-
pie is supreme, and 45 states have
spoken. and we must obey the will
of the people.
The saloons are doomed and they
must go. They are out laws and
their nefarious work must cease.
They have never been known to do
any good or any helpful thing for
the people. There is nothing that
can be said in their favor. They
destroy the am bitions and ideals ct
a nation or an individual. The sa-
looms are institutions that are de-
structive to the morals of any peo-
pie; they oppose schools and
churches; they foster crime and IN
crease the expense of our courts.

court.

The declaration of Senators
Lodge md Borah that copies of the
treaty of peace were in the hands
of Wall Street manipulators comes
as a distinct surprise. The inquiry
moved by Senator Hitchcock was
inevitable, and should be pursued
to the limit.
The State Department declares it
can not explain the presence of the
treaties in New York, as they ''must
have been stolen" Senator Lodge
asserts that they had been supplies
by "agents close to the President. "
How the copies go out, while the
Senate of United States and in
darkness, is important, and needs
explanation. Let us await the in
quiry.

Wants to Know His Children.

The president of one of the larg
est banks in the United States bal
resigned, giving rs his reason tn
desire to ''get acquainted with hi
children and take ga long vaca
tom. He has made u marked sue
cess in business, but evidently. NJ
feels that his family life has been
neglected.
There are other parents in this
country, some of them nearby who
could also afford to get acquainted
with their children. 1t is also q sad
fact that most of these parents to
whom we refer have no excuse,
such as Mr.. Vanderliy's busy life,
to give for their own failure.
Every child has the right to re-
ceive certain benefits from IN asso
citation with its parents, and the
parent that allows business to inter.
fere with that intercourse robs the
child of a part of the vital training
needed in life.

COUNTY NURSE QUESTION

The question of a county nurse was
laid over at a former meeting of the
county commissioners and is expected
to come up at a very early meeting.
Several of the rural people have been
expressing opinions on the matter late
ly and especially the school officers of
the county. These rural schools seem
to believe that this question is one
that means a lot to them and that if
the children and mothers of the coun-
try are to be afforded as much atten-
ton at the live stock interests, that
the different counties will have to take
up and ~thoughtfully consider the mat
ter of county nurses. A number Of
the counties around Brookings have
adopted the idea through action of
their county commissioners and it has
been reported that this county almost
had the matter decided favorably 1t
the last meeting of the commissioners.
The Register is told that this ques-
ton of a nurse for the rural schools
and also the question of additional help
assistance in the county superintend-
ent's office were both up at the same
time, and that the commissioners did
not feel inclined to favor both of the
requests. AS both Of these matters
are seemingly vital to the eduaction
of the children of the county, it has
been suggested by those who will be-
eft, and that is the entire county it is
claimed, that the rural districts will
have to go before the county board
either by petition or in person to con-
vince them that the people of the
county really desire that nothing be
done to impede the advancement or
good of the children and mothers of
the county. Several communities are
reported as expecting to take some &C.
tion in presenting this matter.

STRONGER THAN DYNAMITE

John Swenehart, formerly of Brook
ings, and now in charge of the land
clearing operations in Wisconsin, has
been making experiments with T. n.
T. for blasting out stumps and ex-
presses the belief that it can be used
satisfactorily in spite of its quick
SCATTERING action. It can be cart
ridged without injury to the operator,
though full plans for the safe handling
and distribution of the cartridges have
not been entirely worked out. Mr..
Swenehart has been doing some very
valuable pioneer work in experiments
with clearing land and is making a
reputation in Wisconsin among the
farmers whom he is helping to reclaim
their lands.

New Grade School Building.

WIN tne rapluIy increasing
population of our town and
school district there has come
a demand for more school room
The schools outgew the present
building last year and before
the opening of this school year
the school board made arrange
ments to rent room in the
county high school building to
accommodate the seventh and
eighth grades OF the school.
While the county high school
building is simply large enough
t0 accommodate the county
bigh school for a great many
years yet the renting of this
room has placed the county high
school at a disadvantage and
the committee feels that it will
cS ippossiblc " Te-TeUt tle
room for another year. This
will leave these grades without
a place to hold school until 9TH
er quarters are provided. Com
plants have come from teach
ers, pupils. and patrons that a
crowded condition exists in the
two upper rooms of the present
building. An investigation was
made by the school board yes
terday and as temporary re.
lief it was decided to partition
off a part of the hallway up
up stairs and take part of the
fourth grade from Miss Collins
room and a part of the fifth
grade from Miss Westbrook's
room and place them in this
improvised room under the
care of another teacher. The
board has under consideration
the proposition of submitting
to the people. of the town and
district new school building
to take care of at least four of
the grades for next year. In
order to do effective work there
will be the need of at least two
additional teachers next year.
In fact there should be a teach.
er for each grade taught in the
scnool. We are sure that the
8 chool board would like an ex.
preston from the patrons and
taxpayers of the district as to
what action should be taken to
take care of the school as il
should be taken care of to the
best interests of the children
physically as well as intellectual
ly aud morally.
