FAKE RELIEF WORK.

The people of this country need to be on their guard
axeanFt the activities of fraudulent relief agents. many
J OF whom are operating in every section. and who seem
I to be gathering YIN considerable sums Of money. There
have recently been arrested in Fargo and Grand Forks
persons charged with collecting money ostcnsibly for the
{ armenian relief fund; in reality for their own personal
I benefit, acting without authority from any organization
whatever, and representing nothing but themselves.
l This sort of thins is Eeing on in many places and un-
! douhtedly thousands OF generous people are being vic
iitimixed. Those who are engaged in lesitimate relief work
are especially interested in having these frauds sup
lpresssd, as their work tends to create suspicion and
. makes legitimate relief work much more difficult than
ut would otherwise be.
There is really no need for any mistake in this mat
!ter. The one cardinal principle which should be observed
I'm all cases is to refuse absolutely to do business with
strangers. This applies to business matters and to mat
sters Of philanthropy. The stranger who has a legitimate
Emission in a community brings with him credentials by
means of which he can be identified. and by which his
1 standing can be set forth beyond any question. A mere
letter OF introduction counts for nothing. These are cas-
lily written and signatures are easily forged. 1t is very
often by means of such letters that rascals are able to
enlist the aid of local people of good standing. The
prospective solicitor goes to a local pastor or other
sleader with a letter purporting to come from some per-
tson or organization known to the local man to be re-
liable and to be acting in good faith. On the strength
.of this the stranger and the local man make a'canvass
together and funds are collected on the strength Of the
endorsement of the local leader. The solicitor departs
with the proceeds and is heard from no more.
No man of standing in a community has a right to
svouch for a stranger on recommendations OF this char
acter. There are numerous ways in which he can place

REMAINING A STATE.

It h to be hoped that the movement for the remain
ing Of South Dakota may succeed, first because it will
help to simplify matters for our neighbor. and second,
because it will afford an opportunity for the remaining OF
our own state. :. ~ ~
Two reasons are advanced for the desire manifested
by many South Dakokans for the selection of a new name
for their state. The first Is that the double name is con-
fusang and tends 10 hide the identity Of tho state. The
second is scarcely complimentary to North Dakota. the
opinion being expressed that the name Dakota" has been
brought into disrepute by the erratic behavior Of certain
politicians In the. northern state bearing that name. and
that the people Of the southern state are injured by being
confused with those Of the north.
The second reason given has some validity, although
conditions which made the name Objectionable from this
standpoint are likely soon to pass. North Dakota il re-
turning to sanity, and the prospect is that her affairs will
soon be ON 40 sound a basis As those Of any other state
Her natural advantages are 50 Numerous and 20 great
that her recovery from the ills which she has <~suffered
will be rapid and complete. !
There 10 4 sound objection, however, to the doubling
of words in state nanaeSs and to the use Of geographical
designations. Something Of this was recognized when
these two states were named. On both sides the desire
to avoid the double was expressed. But the people Of each
state had . liking for the word Dakota" Aand neither
was willing to relinauish 1T. The, several names which
were proposed ~ substitutes failed to meet with favor;
hence the present names were chosen.>
II South Dakota should be known by soma other
name, the logical thing would b for North DakoA to b
known tl1snceforward simply - Dakota"
In view Of the stories which have been told Of the
manner in which the pioneers frequently settled their
disputes 1t seems . little strange that = sane Of poker
