"MINORlTY" POSITION
IN QUESTION AT ISSUE

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 20 (Speciall,-
When It was shown by the unofficial
vote thai the non-partisan candidates
for the United States Senate and for
governor had more votes than did
the democratic candidates for those
places, the non-partisans announced
that such vote made them the mi
nority party" under the provisions OF
the Richards primary law, and thai
would give them a more favorable
position on the ballot and in the pro-
posal meetings. But when the vote
on presidential candidates has been
secured, apparently the democratic
electors hold a lead over the nom
partisan list, and just who will be en-
titled to the minority position" un-
der that showing is likely to be a
bone of contention in the next cam
paign.

early Friday morning just or the
eastern edge of this city.
A new auto with a specially con-

three cases of bonded Canadian
liquor was found deserted in a strip
of corn by police officers.
The tracks indicated the machine
had been deserted but a few hours
before. But between the time of its
desertion and the arrival of the i5d-
lice someone had raided the car.
Every bottle had been broken neatly
at the neck and the liquor poured out
The inside of the a gave evidence
of h care used in pouring the
liquor as not a drop had been spilled.
License numbers had beer removed
and the police, thus far, have no clue
as to the identity Of the owners of

TOWN MUST PROVIDE
PLACE TO HITCH HORSES

Mitchell, S.. D, Nov. % (Special).-
The automobile may be the king of
transportation at present, but there
are still scores OF farmers in and
around Davidson county who do not
use trucks to haul their produce to
the city markets. They still stick to
the horses. And this fact is giving
the city council and the Chamber of
Commerce something to think about
Locations in the downtown section of
Mitchell, where farmers may hitch
their horses during their stay in town
are getting scarce. The last location
is now covered with a new fire sta
ton, rapidly nearing completion. The
matter came officially to the atten-
ton of the CITY council this week n
a special committee was appointed to
confer with the Chamber Of Com
merce to try and find someplace else,
centrally located where horses may be
parked" for one hour or all day.

DEER HUNTING GOOD
IN THE BLACK HILLS

Deadwood. S. D., Nov. 26.-During
the past few weeks there have baen
over 200 hunting licenses issued In
this county, and the surrounding hills
are full OF hunters looking for deer.
Numbers Of the hunters have re-
turned and with very few exceptions
they have brought back the limit Of
game with them.
This has been an exceptionally good
season for the deer hunters. The
very first of the season saw snow and
since Their there has been q number
of snowstorms which have made It
easy for the hunters to locate the
game, which is said to be very plen-
tiful in many parts Of the Hills.
The local hunters are not the only
ones that are bringing in game. Num-
bers from the central and eastern
part of the state have arrived in the
city, taken out licenses and left for
the higher hills. Some have already
returned with their game and left
for their homes.

Use Your Head.
Cabinet Ladies.
From the Los Angeles Times.

From the Los Angeles Times.
Most of the talk about having a
woman in the presidents cabinet cen
tiers around the thought of creating a
new department in which the charac-
teristics of the sex could, find proper
expression. Senator Medill Mccormick
is pressing his bill creating a department
of public welfare and Mrs. Mccormick
is already highly recommended for the
secretaryship. 1t will be fine when our
senators can create cabinet positions for
their ambitious wives. Depart ments of
health and education are proposed.
However, we do not believe that the
women themselves demand political re-
cognition to the extent OF insisting on
the creation Of expensive departments
for the mere purpose of giving them Of
nee. They would prefer to come on
terms Of equality. II there is a woma1
in the country who would c~o4Apicuousiy
excel as secretary OF state by all
means let her have the post. but there is
no call to create a department OF parior
diplomacy simply because some queen

Grounds for Confidence.
Bulletin National City Bank (New York;.

There are good reasons for confidently
believing that this country is not going
into a long period Of depression. Such
experiences in the past always have fol-
lowed long periods of internal develop
ment, including extensive construction
work, such as railroad building, town
building, etc. Our periods Of prosperity
and credit expansion have been OF this
character, and it has usually happened
that the movement has over run the
needs of the country at the time, and a
period of growth was required afterward
to bring the country up to it's new IA
~cilities. This was the case in 1873 and
1893, the two most important crises of
our recent history. In the period fol-
lowing 1898 recovery was delayed by the
controversy over the money question.
The boom period which has been re-
sponsible for the existing expansion Of
credit and high, prices was not due to
internal development or construction
work; On the contrary it interfered with
normal development and improvements.
and the facilities of the country are be-
hind it's needs. Never before was there
SO much work in sight needing to be
done, or so many opportunities in the
world outside. The Immediate nrnhlem

In this connection, however, We would

End of Hunger Striking.

finally oyershadowed by the PERSONAL

OF Cork was regarded simply as a pris-
Ioner who was trying to force ms jan

viewed as a man who, utterly beyond
hope OF a living victory, was STRIVING

Office room in Mitchell is at a
premium. Recently, after much argu-
ment the board of county commisz
sioners agreed to appoint a county
nurse again this year if the Federated
Women's clubs of the city would find
office room for her. The nurse, Miss
Hilda Morris, was engaged, but until

The Little Geishas.
Arthur Mills, in London Mail.

- HILLS, IL.
I cannot imagine any foreigner who.
has Travelled in Japan supporting the
movement for the suppression of
geishas. They are the most harmless
and delightful Of little creatures that
ever fitted their way toyously through
life. Some people suppose that a geisha,
is a young lady who is not over parttc-
ular. What she does. They confuse her
in their minds with a quite different type
of japanese girl e. type which, be It
said, is not peculiar to japan alone or
desirable in any country.
This Is a complete error. A geisha Is
a class apart: h belongs to a calling,
or profession, Just as the stage is a pro-
fession in Great Britain. She loses NO
more caste by becoming a geisha than q
young English girl would lose by tofn-
ing a musical comedy company. On the
contrary, like her European sisters, the
Japanese geisha very often makes a
brilliant marriage. Her role is that of
official entertainer In Japanese life.
Before she can become a geisha a
Japanese girl receives long and careful
training in the art Of making herself
agreeable and amusing. She has the op-
portunity Of rising to great distinction
in her profession.

that it was a statuet Of O-San. what
was O-San?" L asked. The proprietor
shrugged his shoulders. It was as
though I had asked a Frenchman, who
is Sarah Bernha1dt?' Miss O-San, he
told me, was one Of the most famous
geishas in Tokyo. Perhaps If I went to
the capital I should see her. Chance
took me to the capital and chance fur
Their provided that I should see Miss
O-San. It was at a dinner party given
by a japanese gentleman.
I was not too over comfortable, as /
spoke no Japanese and the other guests
spoke little English. But life became
very pleasant when the geisha Joined US.
I can still remember the delightful little
creature who sat by me and the white
chrysanthemum she wore in her hair.
She showed me the best way to shell
peanuts, and she taught me the game OF
%"chinque" (%properly a Chinese game Of
counting fingers. but sometimes played
by the Japanese). Altogether she made
the evening pass most pleasantly. She
spoke a little English. I asked her how
she came to have learned our language.
