bic for any extravaganza In this line, we
can assure the reader that the approprl-

session laws Of 1917 places all such re-
spOnslbility on the secretary Of state and
the heads of departments by the follow

the secretary Of state, attorney general

The above provisions refer to printing
specified In the act. Then follows:
The binding and printing provided for

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept. &c. The
little town of Howard, on the Southern
Minnesota railway, in Miner county,
was neatly wiped out by fire this after
noon. About O'Clock fire broke out in
the feed barn of Ii. Armstrong, on
Howard avenue, and before the flames
we're got under control every building
on the east side of the main street for
two blocks was burned. Madison was
telegraphed for assistance, and they
sent part of their department, which
rendered valiant service. A telegram
was receivedfrom Sioux Falls Offering
to send steamer, but the distance was
too far. Two lives were lost-those of
Mr.. and Mrs. Il. Ballensworth,
whose residence was next door to
where the fire started. They were
removing things from the house when
they were hemmed in by flames and
persisted. The charred remains of one
of the unfOrtunateS was recovered about
o'clock. Following are the losses: w.
II. Armstrong, feed and dray barn;

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26.-The Inter-
national Navigation company intends in
a short time to award contracts to Eng
lish builders for two new steel twin
screw steamships. to be used in the
trade between Philadelphia and Liver
pool and Antwerp. They will prob
ably be called Southwark and
Kensington, after the Philadel-
phia localities of both of those
names, and will each be of 5000 tons
carrying capacity and constructed of
steel throughout. The motive power
will consist OF triple expansion engines
of the most approved type, and the
steam will be supplied from Scotch
boilers. 1t is probable that the Thomp-
sons, on the Clyde, will secure the con-
tracts. This firm built the City of Paris
and the City of New York. and the
Lairds built the steamship Friesland
and other vessels of the Red Star line
The vessels are designed for general
carrying trade, and will not carry saloon
passengers but will be fitted up for
immigrants.

TARIFF REFORM.
Democracy Wages No War 4 gainst
American Industries.

Democracy Wages No War Against
American Industries.
Tariff reform is still our purpose.
Though we oppose the theory that tariff
laws may be passed having for their OBJ
jtct the granting of discriminating and
unfair governmental aid to private
ventures, we wage 10 eXtermnating
war against any American interests,
We believe a reimbursement can be ac-
cOmplishtd, in accordance with the
principles we profess, without disaster
or demolition. We believe that the ad-
yantageS of freer raw materials should
be accorded to our manufacturers, and
we contemplate fair and careful dis
tribution of necessary tariff burdens,
rather than the precipitation of free
trade.
We anticipate with calmness the mis-
representation of motives and purposes.
instigated by seltishneSS which seeks
to hold in uDrelenting grasp its unfair
advantage under present tariff laws.
We will rely upon the intelligence of
our fellow countrymen to reject the
charge that party comprising a ajor-
ity Of our people is planning the de-
structiOn or injury of American inter-
ests, and we know they cannot be
frightened by the spectre OF Impossible
free trade.
The administration and management
of our government depends upon popu-
lar will. Federal power is the instru-
ment of that will-not its master.
Therefore the attempt of the opponents
of Democracy to interfere with ana COLI
troll the suffrage of the states through
federal agencies develops a design,
which no explanation can mitigate, to
reverse the fundamental and safe re-
lations between the people and their
government. Such an attempt cannot
fail to be regarded by thoughtful men
as proof of a bold determination to Sc
cure the ascendancw of discredted
party in reckless disregard of a free
expression of the popular will To re-
sist Such scheme is an impulse of
Democracy. At all times and in all
places we trust the people. AS against
a disposition to force the way to federal
power. we present to them as our claim
to their confidence and support steady
championship of their rights.

Mysterious Death Of a Young
Actress in Lon
don.
She Had Formed a Liaison
! With an Army Sur
geOn.
After the Inquest the Latter
Dies by His Own
Hand.
Efforts Being Made to Solve
the Mystery of the Wom-
ans Death.

LONDON. Sept. 26.-The mystery re-
garding the fate of Marion Sharpe, the
Gaiety actress who died on Tuesday last
in the house of Woodbury. Heron, an
army surgeon, is increasing, and there
is growing opinion that she was poi
| soned by DR.. Woodbury. Heron, the
army surgeon, who committed suicide
in the hotel on Craven street Sunday.
Miss Sharpe, who was known as Ruby
Russell, had appeared in the Lyric and
Drury Lane theaterS, and was a favorite
with theater-gOerS. DR.. Heron was
deeply impressed by her, and induced
her to leave the stage and live with
him.
DR.. Heron had been stationed for
some time in Jamaica, where his wife
died in 1891 under suspicious circum-
stances. He made the acquaintance of
Miss Sharpe while waiting orders in
London, and when he was sent to Gam
bria, in Africa, he took her with him.
They returned from Cambria Oh Sept. 3.
Soon after coming back it appears that
they quarreled. Miss Sharpe was seized
with sudden illness on tuesday and
died soon after. She was
Unconscious Before Death,
and doctor who was called in was I'M
able to relieve her. The cause of death
not being apparent, notice was given to
the authorities and ain inquest was
held. DIR. Heron was called as a wit
ness and testified Saturday that the po-
lice had made inquiries about him
aDd had ascertained some of his career
in Jamaica. He was asked in regard to
+ the death of his wife in Jamaica, and
admitted that an inquest had been held
upon her remains.
DR.. Heron would have been called
upon for additional explanations later
on in the proceedings, and he appears
to have concluded upon suicide. He
went TO the hotel on Craven street i'm
mediately after the inquest, and there
| engaged a bedroom. On Sunday he
was found dead in his room, his throat
terribly gashed. He left statement
letter, which. it is thought, will throw
light upon the death of Miss Sharpe, if
net upon other matters. While the
death of DR.. Heron removes any proba-
BILE cause for the motive of Miss
Sharpe's fate, the authorities are active
~ engaged in finding all they can about
DIR. Heron in order to clear up what
| ever IN yStery may remain.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
It Is Contrary 10 the Spirit of the
Constitution.


Opposed to this theory the dogma is
how boldly presented that tariff taxation
is justifable for the express purpose
and intent of thereby promoting espe-
cial interests and enterprises. Such
proposition is so clearly contrary to the
spirit of our constitution, and SO directly
encourages the disturbance by selfish
ness and greed of patriotic sentiment,
that its statement would rudely shock
our people, if they had not been al
ready insidouSly allured from the safe
landmarks of principle. Never has
honest desire for national growth. patri-
otto devotion to country and sincere re-
gard for those who toll been so betrayed
to the support of pernlcious doctrine.
In its behalf the plea that our infant
Industries should be fostered did Serv-
Ice until diScredted by our stalwart
growth: then followed the eXigencieS
of a terrible war, which made our peo-
pie needless Of the opportunities for III
Eerior schemes afforded by their willing
and patriotic payment of unprecedented
tribute: aud now, after long period of
peace, when our oVerburdened country
men ask for relief and a restoration to
fuller enjoyment OF their Incomes and

that tariff taxation for the sake of pro-
lection is an American system, the con
tnuance of which is necessary in order
that high wages may be paid to work
mgmen. and a home market be pro-
Vided for our farm products.
These pretense should no longer de-
seive. The truth is that such a system

ment OF Justice and fairness OF which

ATE OF THE ICE.
An Undertaker's Carelessness
Causes an Epidemic of Diphthe-


ria.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.--The police
and health officers of the district are en-
gagged in Investigating the truth eff a
horrible story told of colored under
taker, Ernest Edwards, whose reported
recklessness has caused the death of a
number of persons from diphtheria.
The story goes that on July last col
ored girl named Maud Myers died of
diphtheria. Edwards was employed,
and prepared the body for burial. On
the Sth, the day of the fuheral, Edwards
removed the body from the iceboX, and
put it in the casket. He took the ice
box, containing the ice and water, out
into the court, and emptied it out on
ground. Three colored children resid-
ing in the court, Charles Burk. Igna-
titus Burk and Mary f. Davis, ate of the
ice. On July 16 the Burk and Davis
children were stricken with diphtheria,
and died in a few hours.
Since the date of Maud Myers burial
thirty-two cases Of diphtheria have oc-
CURED in st. Mary'S court. fifteen of
which have proved fatal. They are
traceable, it is said, to the ice thrown
into the court by Edwards. 4 deter
initiation has been expressed by the au-
thorities to prosecute Edwards for per-
jury and manslaughter, if he is arrested,
which, up to the present time, he has
escaped.

THE CURRENCY.
People Entitled to Sound and

The people are entitled to sound and
honest money, abundantly sufficient in
volume to supply their business needs.
But whatever may be the form of the
peoples currency, national or state
whether gold, silver or paper-it should
be 50 regulated and guarded by govern
mental action, or by wise and careful
laws, that no one can be deluded as to
the certainty and stability of its value.
Every dollar put into the hands of the
people should be of the same intrinsic
value or purchasing power. With this
condition absolutely guaranteed, both
gold and silver can be safely utilized
upon equal terms in the adjustment OF
oGr currency.
in dealing with this subject no selfish
scheme should be allowed to intervene,
and no doubtful experiments should be
attempted. The wants of our people,
