can Revolution, an appeal was formu-
lated to the people of South Dakota

tion Day, September 17th, which this

Constitution day is being each year

occasion is being improved to empha
size the great part the Constitution

freedom and liberties Of our people.
Last year in the Union some $4,000
local celebrations were held in various
communities. some going SO far as to
conduct great pageants.
The South Dakota committee de-
cided to appeal to the colleges and
schools for special exercises on Friday

A FATAL SHOOTING SCRAPE SUNDAY,

Sunday night at about nine O'Clock
one OF the most cold blooded murder
that ever happened on the Rosebud
Reservation, took place az st. Francis,
South Dakota. Frank Black Spotted
Horse, a full blood Indian youth of 20
years, shot Jesse Bordeaux, mixed
blood Indian, of about z; years of age
four times in the body with a 3S cali
Der revolver, each shot going through
the region OF his heart. He was in
stantly killed.
The trouble started over 500
which the Bordeaux boy owed Black
Spotted Horse, in horse race the
previous Saturday at St. Francis. I,
was claimed the boys were under the
influence of home brew secured from
the vicinity Of st. Francis.
Frank Black Spotted Horse, gave
himself up after the shooting and is
now at Valentine, Nebraska, for safe
keeping, as it is known that tie faith
er Of the dead boy threatened to kill
him.
Ever since the Indian Poliece force
was cut down on the Rosebud Reser

been going on, aud it is wonder that
more killings have not taken place.

THE REMEDY.

CAMuEL UNTERMYER said to a somewhat reti-
- cent witness in the Lockwood investigation:
People who want to borrow money cannot
get 1t unless they buy suburban lots they don't
want. unless they buy rundown tenements, un-
less they buy Lberty bonds at par. unless they
pay huge discounts-and these exactions are
made by persons with respectable sounding
names, are they not?"
The witnesses admitted the truth of the state
ment. II is not even exaggerated. Evidence proves
every charge.
But suppose the money had not come from re
spectacle sounding" sources Suppose ii came from
q pawnbroker
The pavnbroking interest rate is limited by law.
Suppose the pawnbroker picked up dollar watch
and said the only way to get loan was to buy the
watch for five dollars.
If a pawnbroker tried such tactics he would soon
hose his license. The law would step in and close
his business.
Bait is there a particle of difference between the
two classes of operations, except that the big mort
gage sharks gains are measured in thousands
When pawT,Shop and the personal loan shark
evils became too serious, business organizations
stepped in first 10 regulate and finally to provide
legitimate credit through such institutions as the
Morris Plan banks and the Provident Loan assod-
ations.
Mortgage loan sharks bear as heavily on the poor
and needy as the smaller leeches used to. Such

Can the remedy in the case Of the gross frauds
be different from the remedy for the petty frauds'
First it is obvious, we need legal prohibition of
such practices. Second, we need adequate supply

sibe source which will compete with the gougers
and keep them honest.
If some volunteer organization does not supply
such credit there will be no alternative but State
action in financing slidn loans

HOW LONG,

TO PROMOTE temperance, order and public
welfare, the Province of Quebec Canada, on
May went into the liquor business
A month ago, discussing Quebecs new liquor
laws, The Evening World made the above state
ment.
Results to date prove II to have been accurate as
to both purpose and effect.
The Premier of Quebec reported this week that
traffic in the Province has decreased drunkenness
stopped bootlegging taught iquorselers to respect
the law and already earned profits that will be spent
on education and highway improvement.
Instead of spending millions Of dollars to suppress
personal liberty and impose Anti-Saloon League rule
on its inhabitants, Quebec has adopted system Of
local option with Government sale and regulation
which does away with the saloon evil, leaves free
dom to those fit to enjoy ii and helps to fill the
public treasury instead Of emptying ii.
Quebec is not prosecuting its citizens, breaking
into their homes, arrestng them and dragging them
into court to satisfy an organized tyranny that has
fastened its grip on government.
Quebec does not hold discouraged loyalty, weak
ened respect for law, popular disgust and uneasi-
ness as nothing beside the glorious achievement of
making everybody crnge under the whip Of
Prohibition.
Quebec is not disruptng its civic life in hysteri-
cal pursuit of ends that can be attained at less COST
Quebec was perfectly aware of the evils of the
liquor traffic as fosterd by the lower type of
saloon.
But to elmir"te those evils Quebec did not deem
it necessary to surrender itself, body and soul, to
group Of zeaots whose thirst for power to enforce
their will on others IS no more temperate than thirst
for drink
Quebec has taken the rational way of fighting
the saloon evil BY concentrating on the saloon evil,
at the same time putting the sane authority of the
Government over the liquor traffic as whole and
the guarantee of the Government behind the quail
ity of liquor sold.
Quebec tackled the problem with brains instead
OF letting hgotry and balderdash take charge
The people of the United States were BETRAYED
and browbeaten into the latter kind of attack

volt and pronounce it ntolerabe?

SPLASH WEEK.

NEXT WEEK is splash Week"
IN We have had so many days" and weeks"
that meant appeals for money, or pleas to do some
thing for somebody, that the public may be par
donably wary.
But Splash Week" is different. 1t is week
when something will be done for the public in
stead of 10 it.
Under the auspices of the Red Cross and other
organizations, swimming pools all over the city will
be thrown open to the public lf-as so frequently
happens-eahy June turns warm, Splash Week"
should be popular
II ought to be popular anyhow. Competent in
strrtors will be on hand to teach non-swimmers to
swim and to show swimmers the proper way to
rescue and resuscitae those in danger of drowning.
Last year the beaches and other bathing places
near New York took toll of 33i lives in drowning
accidents. Most Of them were preventable deaths.
An too many included the deaths of would-be res
euers who did not know the right way and safe
way to 90 about the task.
Splash Week should help to reduce fatalities,
to saw. lives. Even those who care nothing for
swimming as sport should know how to swim for
safety's sake.

5000 men and women will parade in

rights-their so-called liberty. Fine!

lSubwayneckitis.

To tho Editor OF The ReninE World:
Have you subwayneckitis? That's u
new disease, and at this time OF the
year there are many sufferers. Sub
wayneokitIs is contracted by a very
large number OF the patrons Of the In
terborough and the b. r. r., and, &C
cording to a well known physician
largely by the carelessness OF subway
train attendants.
This is the method of contracting
the ailment: The unsuspecung per-
son enters the car, say at lSoth Street,
east, bound downtown. The morning
air is a trifle cool; you choose a seat
In a section OF the car protected by
closed windows that you may avoid
the possibility OF strong draughts. But
before the train starts along comes
Mr. Thoughtless Attendant, who opens
all tho windows. The train gathers
speed and the breeZes start blowing
across the back Of your neck at the
rate OF as many miles an hour AS the
train may travel plus the relative
velocity OF the breeze existing when
the train is not in motion, As an
illustration OF relatively, you are sit
ting on the left-nand side OF the car
train travelling south. by the time
you reach Grand Central there is a
we'll developed pain shooting down the
left side of your neck, and soon a
gradually increasing tendency toward
an uncomfortable stiffness. Had you
occupied seat on the right-hand side
of the car you would have the pain
in the right side Of the necki that is
where relatively again comes in-yOu
get the pain any way you sit.
This condition denotes the begin
ming OF subwayneckitis. Same thing
occurs on the homewad evening Jour
nay, during which the subwayneckitls
increases its grip and during the
night becomes fully developed. Hot

again starts on his daily journey, hop
ing against reason that he will receive
greater consideration. But alas, his

his case of subwayneckitis becomes
almost a chronic condition, and in
many cases leads to serious complica-
uons-perhaps pneumonia.
But the rules Of the Interborough

weather or temperature conditions.
Just so many windows in every car
must be kept wide open; the trainmen
must not, or at least do not, exercise
any judgment, and evidently rea-
