Salt Always Available.

While planters understand that
as a matter of course they must
have salt available for their mule
stock and all other stock, still too
little attention is given to this
feature of our agricultural indus
try, and sometimes the salt is not
available. The FARMERS GUIDE
in recently discussing the matter
urged upon the farmers of the
West the imperative necessity OF
always keeping their animals full
ly supplied with salt and, concern
ing the use of this food article,
says that the direct function of
the salt upon the animal body and
upon the process of food digestion
and assimilation is, first, the in
cressing activity of the secretion
of the body juices; second, to in
crease the circulation of these
juices; third, salt increases the
consumption of protein food, and
fourth, it has stimulating effect
upon the appetite aud tends to-
ward the increase of energy and
all the vital processes.
The best form for feeding salt
to stock is in the shape of rock
salt, to which animals have access
at their own pleasure.

The rice market which is now
lower than the planter wish to see
it, seems to have firm tendency
of going up, and the planters seem
to hold on to their crop
for better prices. Very few of
the planters of this section are
selling, they know the crop is
short, and that the price is bound
to 10 up.
The price of cotton is holding
firm, last Saturday the price of
cotton in the seed went up to $25
per Thousand pounds, and held at
the same price during the week.
At Parks the price paid was S25, so.
Today it is possible that the sharp
competition which is now on, will
force the price up.
The st. Martins Oil Works Lii

that goes through these gins and
rolled into round bales every
twenty four hours is immense.
During the past few days seve-
raj of our rice planters have ship
ped and sold rice in New Orleans,
while others have sold here to the
buyers who come after the rice,
and in every instance, the sales
made here were more profitable to
the cnltivator, and more satisfac-
tory. Less bad or inferior or da-
mayed rice is found here by the
samplers than are found in New
Orleans, and the net result of the
sales is from Scots to one dollar
more in favor of the local market.
Those who have not yet sold their
rice should investigate a little be-
fore they ship their rice to the
market.

Death of'Mrs. James Jared,

Briefly THE UNION last week noted
the death of Julia, the beloved wife
of James Jared, which occurred at
Big Bend on Tuesday, August 9Th.
Her death was caused by a compiled.
ton of diseases, and brought to g
close a life beautiful in it simplicity
and jeweled with kindly words and
kindlier deeds to those around her.
A husband and four. children were
thus called upon to mourn the loss
of a loving wife and mother, but the
thought of the life which she had led
SO filled with true goodness-does
much to tighten the burden OF sor-
row upon those she has left behind.
At the time of her death she was
forty-two year Of age. >,
sFuneral services were conducted
at the family residence on Thursday
of last week and the remains were
laid gently to rest in Mountain View
cemetery west Of this city in the af-
ternoon of that day. The sympathy
of the entire community goes out to
the bereaved husband and family.

And They Moved Up Town.

Rapid City's freight andpassenger
gdepots are up town, This fact is
the cause Of general satisfaction on
all sides. Saturday the Elkhorn
company brought down a gang Of
Dago hoboes and the big move was
on in earnest. The freight depot
was lacked up, a temporary track
was built under it and three fat cars
run under the building. Gently it
was lowered onto the cars and on
Sunday afternoon it was hauled up
town and placed on the new site on
Ninth street. The same process.
was followed on the passenger,depot
Wednesday and It is now located ur
town also. The whole move was
made quietly and without mishap,
and the one-mile tripsto the trains
are at. an end. THE UNION under.
stands that the Elkhorn people viii
overhaul both depots, put them in
good shape and also fix up the
grounds around them in a pleasing
and attractive manner. Anyway,
the depots + up town at last.
and there is general rejoicing.

capitalists Of the Morgan school
led us to expect. They hold the
market now, but their relative in
huence is weakening, and their
downfall is seriously predicted BY
authority quoted. All this lends
force to thd democratic position
that what is needed is a tax system
that will make monopoly impos-
S BILE, rather than elaborated and
liberty destroying enactments
against combinations of businesses
and business men. Lei us remove
the tariff protection enjoyed by the
trusts, tax them the full rental val

leave the rest to the operation of

REMOVE the TARIFF DUTY,

n6WUvE u Hn1Ff UU11s
When the Retail Butchers and
Meat Dealers national convention
adopted a resolution instructing all
local bodies throughout the United
States to ascertain the attitude of
congressional candidates toward
the proposition to remove the
tariff duties on meat and meat pro-
ducts, a notable step toward tariff
revision was taken.
These tactics constitute effective
warfare against the trusts by those
who r suffering from the monop-
oily exactions of the trusts. The
great combines in restraint of trade
must be struck through the tariff.
"A revision of the tariff can be at
tanned only by electing a congress
the majority of whose members are
in favor oftariff reform. The stu
alton has reached this definite
phase, and the National Retail
Butchers and Meat Dealers Asso-
citation c%onfronts the truth in exact
ly the right spirit Of c%omprehen-
sion.
Every voter in this country who
is opposed to the surrender of its
trade and industry into the hands
of few hundred monopolistic
multimillionaires, enjoying unjust
privileges at the sacrifice of the
peoples rights, should, in the APP
preaching congressional elections,
make sure Of casting his vote for
Congressional candidates pledged
to work and vote for tariff revision,
Accepting halfway promises. Re
fuse to be bunkoed by a platform
Of g%eneralities which avoid a def
mite pledge. Insist upon it that
the Congressional candidate for
whom yon vote is distinctly under
an expressed pledge for a revision
Of the tariff.
The National Retail Butchers
and Meat Dealers Association is
making 3 manful, aggressive and
formidable fight against trustisna.
$50 far as is in the power Of its
members throughout the Union,
no candidates will be elected to
congress this year whose vote is
controlled by the the monopoly
trusts. The example thus set BY
victims Of the beet trust should be
generally followed by the American
people asa body, heavily taxed and
oVercharged as they are for the en-
richment Of monopolists. The
issue q hecongressional campaig
of 1909 IS tariff revision, andespec.
tally a revision that shall removet the
duties from all articles controlled
~ trusts.

PENNINGTON COUNTY POLITICS.

Ihe beating OF the political tom
toms IN county affairs has begun,
and the candidates-or prospec-
tive ones-are gradually emerging
from the political underbrush in
the camps Of both parties. Let
them come. The people ought to
have a good, square look at them
all before the county nominating
conventions occur,
A good deal Of interest centers
around the nomination for sheriff,
especially among the republicans.
Three candidates have thus far
shown up for the nomination..
G. Patrick and Z. Schleuning Of
this city, and Ale,; Shoemaker Of
Keystone. Onthe democratic side
of the fence Howard Worth is. out
for i, and is quietly, but earnestly,
pushing his claims. One Or two
more candidatesna develop with

HE RETIREMENT of John u.
Long from the cabinet af-
Il fords an occasion for calling
attention to the uniformly
patriotic and successful service which
he has given to the nation in post
which the circumstances OF war made
one of exceptional difficulty and re-
sponsibility. An unfortunate scandal in
the naval service which history will ad-
judge ObScureu toward the last the
popular recognition which Mr.. Long
good work 50 thoroughly deserved But
it cannot take away the fact that his
tenure of the naval portfolio during the
one opportunity that our new navy has
had since it's creation to render an nr-
count Of itself was characterized by
sane and accurate judgment. patience,
tact and splendid vindication IN results.
Mr. Long retires with the personal re-
spect of every subordinate, with the
highest praise ever given to Il secretary
of the navy by Il president OF the United
States and with an assured place IN
history.
OF the incoming secretary the public
knows little as yet. but that little is all
to his advantage He has been one of
the working members of congress-pne
of the men who do things while the
more lOquaciOus spcll-binders eXpentl
their energy and the peoples money in
generally futile talking. He has not
sought prominence in the newspapers,
but he has established in the house an
enviable reputation for being always to
be depended upon when emergencies
call. He enters the office free from
prejudices or entanSling alliances: and
there will never be Il day while he is in
it that he will not be the master of the
whole naval situation so far as it is
within the grasp of civilian Influences,
In many ways Mr.. Moody resembles
Elihu Root. He is not swayed by
clamor. He prepares his case until he
knows every detail and then he sticks |
Indifferent to the social side of official
life. so far as it indicates merely per-
functory display and traditional red
tape. he is the kind Of man who will
put his undivided energy into the per-
formancc of his official duties and show |
himself chiefly through results.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Long |
felt impelled by personal reasons to re- |
tire: but there is satisfaction in the fact |
that the succession is what it is.
