What's the use of being good if you
are accused of sin?
What's the use Of telling the truth
when it is believed to be false?
Why is one given life if it is to be
ruled and dominated by another?
Ask these questions of Marvin Queed
at the Murray theatre Thursday when
THE Sin of Martha Queed," a May
flower production presented through
Associated Exhibitors, will be shown.
Ask Marvin Queed by what right he
shall accept as truth the lie of a scoun-
drel, and deny the truth of his own
daughteri
Ask Marvin Queed If there Is not a
greater sin in his own mind than in
the life of his daughter!
Ask this narrow-minded tyrant how
he can right one wrong with another
Is he protecting the fair name of
Queed by refusing his daughter to the
man she loves and forcedly marrying
her to the man she loathes-a man
who schemed and lied to hurt her?
"The Sin of Martha Queed" is said
to be one of the strongest, most start
ling dramas of the year. 1t was pro
| duced, directed and written by Allan
Dwan, whose artistry is widely appre
ciated. Joseph J. Bowling plays the
part of Marvin Queed. Other charac

JOBS GO BEGGING

Sioux City Journal - Just a few
months ago reports Of distress result
ing from widespread unemployment
were printed in the newspapers
throughout the country, but now the
situation has changed. Jobs go beg
in the big cities refusing to work.
Street of cities are
infested with beggars, and unemploy-
ment agencies are unable to fill the
orders for workers. In need and
showing outward signs of the long per-
iod of unemployment, the idlers still
refrain from turning their nands to
honest labor for their own upkeep.
They want $40 jobs, and they turn
away from smaller pay with disgust.
Chicago, mecca of the shiftless idle
and the honest worker out Of a job,
presents at all times a picture Of in
dolence or distress. Somehow the
great middle west city attracts hun.
dreds of thousands in a season who
have nothing to live on for one reason
or another, who do not work either
because they will not or cannot find
jobs. 1t all depends upon the condi-
tion OF the times. Chicago has uneIl-
ployed whether there are jobs 70 be
had or not, and now it has thousands
of idle who disdain to labor for their
food and shelter. The idlers know
that the harvest season has opened IN
the southwest and that gradually the
reapers will swing northward toward
the border. Farmers are calling for
help. The crop must be harvested.
But the idlers in the big cities do not
care. They figure that it is hot in
the big wheat fields and cooler in the
parks and that they will get through
somehow.
1t is recalled that last winter, when
government reports on the unemploy-
ment situation we're sem out from
washington, the big list was persist
emily cut down by about 1.50O,0 900
with the advice that, even in normal
times there were that many persons
who preferred loafing. It was main
tanned that an enormous army OF
shiftless, thriftless human beings al
ways could be found floating here and
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1922-06-29

there, making no effort in life except
to stay away from work. The typi-
cal vagrant will work hard to evade
and avoid a job, he will struggle to
find a shade in the hot summer or a
glowing stove in winter, but that is
all he will do. He is hopeless.
1t is said that the Chicago Ioafers
frankly say that they do not intend to
work and that they will pose as vic
tins OF the great world war. 1t
easily a be imagined how stories of
shellshOck will be told on Cl,icagn's
busy corners until the cold weather
drives the beggars inside. More
than the slaughter of stalwart,
brave fighting men have been com
mitted in the name of war. Society
ought to protect itself from it's para
site members. Laws are in existence
to force able bodied persons to sup
port themselves, but they are not suf-
f~iciently enforced. Appeals to manli-
ness are useless in thousands Of cases
because 1T has ceased to exist. Force
is the only thing left to compel loafers
to find the food and shelter by their
own efforts, as the Bible says, by the
sweat OF their brows.

FORT RANDALL PASSES

The passing of one Of the early
landmarks of Dakota Territory has
been ordered in the sale directed by
the government of old Fort Randall,
one OF the first military posts in the
then far west. There are not many
left to recall the days Of the real
frontier in Dakota, but those who
have heard their elders tell OF the ro-
mantle life-both gay and serious to
those of the military settlements Of
over half a century ago - still see
through the mist Of years e n
thrilling and fascinating.
To have preserved the old fort with
its memories and traditions would
have been a worthwhile undertaking,
but there is little now to preserve
even if the sale had not been ordered.
The lankton Press q Dakotan gives
some of the early history Of the post;
THE old times are indeed passing
away, when news comes that old his
toric Fort Randall, a military post
that dates further back than Yankton
Ia ~ pC oOlu dhu al "" oIiiP
cease. When Yankton commenced her
career Fort Randall vas a stopping
place up stream in steamboat days,
the first military post that upriver
passengers saw. There are still
pioneers in Yankton who recall Fort
Randall in its palmy days, when all
that goes to make up United States
army life was to be noted at this III
teresting old fort, for the past quar-
ter of a century a very deserted and
forlorn spot, picturesque still with
its ruins and many signs of former
pomp and glory. An ancient church,
built of Gladstone by a former Epis-
copalian chaplain, and a picture of it
which can be seen at the Press ard
Dakotan office is one Of the interest
ing relics left to show that religion
was not neglected while military
matters were given first place. The
late Henry Bradley, for many years
OF this city, was formerly in service
Wright, also gone beyond. Both were
connected with the fort at a very
early day. Old timers used to tell of
Tepeota, the old Indian name for the
site before Uncle Sam established a
garrison there. at what was then a
frontier trading outpost.
Now the word has gone forth for
the property, consisting of 1877 acres
of land, to be sold on June q, upon
the authority Of the Washington land
office. There is far more to Fort
Randall than its acreage, more than
its ruins, and that it a great historic
interest. The place fairly teens with
memories and those echoes of 60
and more years ago deal with Yank-
ton so closely; the ties between Fort
randall ami Yankton are so varied
and interesting hat the space given
the announcement of the passing
away Of the old place is quite justified
or will be in the eyes of many pioneers
over a wide section. 1t is a pity that
this historic spot in South Dakota
cannot be preserved to %posterity."

THE PRoFlTEERs TO THE BAR

American Legion Weekly - The
World war cost the United States
$36, 900, 600, 900. Twelve billion dollars
of his sum was raised by taxation
during the war. The remainder, "a
000, 000, 600, became a mortgage on the
future Of America. 1t must De paid
by the men, women and children Of
this country. The 100000 Ameri-
cans who wore the uniform during the
war, giving freely health and energy
and even life itself, must TO- share
with their countrymen the burden Of
this debt. They gave their time and
their bodies; they must now give
their earnings and savings. Giving
doubly, they have a double interest
in knowing il any portion Of the debt
is dishonest.
Representative Graham, chairman of
the congressional committee which in
v~estigated war expenditures, recently
declared before the house that the
governments losses on war contracts
through waste and frauds, were ST.
$50. 000. 900. The Investigations con-
Quoted by Mr.. Graham's committee re-
vealed a ~nauseating series of scandals
involving war profiteering and graft
ing. They showed that while men
were dying in France, other men In
this country, with the hearts and souls
Of a Benedict Arnold. were stabbing
their country in the back. Hidden
by the smoke of battle and shielded by
wartime secrecy. they were footing
the treasury. They were selling har-
ness, aircraft, big guns, salmon, meat,
lumber and motors with %scandalous
disregard Of the principles Of honesty.
The men who fought the war have
been puzzled to know why In the
face of all these scandals their gov
eminent had waited so long to begin
the prosecution Of profiteers and con-
tract grafters. They TO- have the
consolation Of knowing the World wal
veterans in congress have finally
forced the government to take action.
The insistent voices of two represen-
tatives-Johnson of South Dakota and
woodruff OF Notwithstanding
punishment for the war guilty have
aroused the country. Congress has ap-
p~ropriated $780, 900 to begin the tardy
prosecutions.
The cases OF war fraud are now In
the hands Of the attorney general. The
FOOD faith OF the attorney general has
haen questioned. 1t has been charged
hat he is bluffing--that he has only
haen forced into activity by public SEN
t,r,art and win not proceed vigorously
with the prosecutions. There may or
NAV not be Foundation for these
crsr~ss 81 good faith-the whole a.

fair, it must be admitted, has been
or unwilling, the attorney general
must throw the full power Of the gov
eminent into these prosecutions,
Four years ago this government de-
manded the full performance OF every
fighting mans duty. That duty was
done. Today the several million fight
ing men of the Void war are among
those who demand that this govern
ment do it's own plain duty. The bat
tie Of the Argonne four years ago was
a triumph Of American flesh and
blood. Today's Argonne battle against
dishonesty must end in a triumph of
American faith.

A STONE A DAY

An apple a day will keep the doc
tor away and a stone a day removed
by motorists will keep the roads Of
Brookings county free from these OBJ
~iectionable to comfortable
motoring. The %Brookings CONNER
cial club has received many COM
plants OF numerous stones lying in
the roads. After considering methods
by which they might be removed most
effectively, the idea Of each motorist
stopping al least once a day on the
road and removing a bothersome stone
was adopted. IL every M who drives
an automobile over these roads re-
moves one stone every time they are
out for a ride, the roads OF Brookings
county would be entirely free from
stones in a few days and at no great
trouble or cost to any one. 1t is n
type Of cooperation that shows the
proper spirit and at the same time
brings wonderful results. To the sell
fish, lazy, small souled motorist this
idea will not appeal to at all. They
will say, why don't the county or
the commercial club pick up the
stones, it isn't my business" We don't
know how many wizened up mole
cules like that are in this community
but we are certain that the great ma
jority of motorists will enter into the
campaign in the right spirit and help
clear our roads Of stones. Remember
to pick up a stone every time you are
out riding until you see no more
stones left.

among either restaurant or moto,
owners. The reason in both cases
is the police. So venomous have the
police become in their efforts tc
make the town dry, that some restau.
rants are talking of closing their
doors at New Years or earlier. This
is because the police are arrestinp
everyone who flashes a pocket flask
and taking the proprietor along for
good measure. Moreover. people who
have an aversion to arrest are doing
their drinking and eating in their owl
homes or j n taxicabs hired for the
evening. All of which means that
the restaurants are distinctly out of
luck.
So are the motorists. The new
brake squad" has taken mon itself
the task of cockinr an attentive ear
in the direction Of each motor car.
If there is a wheeze or rattle. the
brake squad man backs you into an
alley, examines our car, and if the
brakes are loose, sends you to the
nearest repair station at your ex-
pense. This is an attempt to reduce
the number of street accidents from
defective brakes, 5000 such accidents
having occurred last year. OF course
this is all in the interest of the public
safety, but If a few more restrictions
and supervision are imposed on mo
florists it will be almost as much an
annoyance to " a car as it is now
to own a tenement house.
G0Wan's Return
The somewhat sluggist heart action
of the town was %guickened a beat or
so by three occurrences. The first was
the arrival of the "Speejaeks." the 90
foot motorboat which has just finished
taking Commander and Mrs. A. Y.
Gowan around the world on their hon
eymeon. The Chicago commander and
his bride were enthusiastically greeted
when they locked at the foot of East
Twenty third street by friends and
movie camera operators and seemed
decidedly glad to get back to c~iviliza-
ton where bandits use the homely
blackjack and gun instead of poisoned
darts and boomerangs.
Another thrill was accorded the town
by the publication of a book of verse
entitled "A Fifth Avenue Parade and
Other Poems" The book was written
by the Rev. DIR. Percy Stickney Grant.
rector of the Church of Ascension, and
dedicated to Mrs. Philip Lydig. whose
engagement to the rector provoked q
storm of opposition among Episco-
palian officials because of Mrs. Lydig's
two divorces.
And the third q~uickening of the pulse
beat came with the glad news that
Prof. John P. Herman, he of the many
matrimonial mixups, has decided to
make his home here. Professor Tier
nan who is the brother of Peter Tier
an assistant correspondent coun-
sci, is dwelling in a Manhattan apart
ment with his first baby Billy, who was
the basis for the far-famed suit against
Harry Poulin of South Bend.
Holds Up Address
Professor Herman refuses to tell his
Manhattan address. but let it be known
