Chamberlain's Tariff Policy.

Joseph Chamberlain again occupies the
center of the stage in the British parlia-
ment He may or he may not be playing
for the premiership. He may or he may
not be actuated more by personal ambition
than by patriotism. He has been accused
OF nearly every crime in the political cal
endar Men of his stamp make as many
enemies as friends He has his share or
both He stands up to the one and stands
by the others. His enemies know where to
find him. and his friends are quite as clear
as to his whereabouts. In a word, he is
hardheaded and an aggressive man, who
has made his way against many difficulties
and Is still going forward. His personality
and his methods suggested to Mr.. Glad
stone the American politician. The obser-
walton was not intended as compliment
but II should do the recipient no injury on
this side of the water.
Mr. Chamberlain is of all the greater in
terest just now by reason of the subject
under discussion. Some twenty years ago,
when he left Mr.. Gladstones side on the
Irish question. II was said of him that he
was mere shopkeeper, without sentiment.
and without understanding of large Ques-
tions In their relation to the state. There
being no money at stake, he could not sec

Germany and the United States are rivals
whom Great Britain can no longer ignore,
and must be met with policies that will
work. Here then is situation which
should develop to the full whatever of Ca
pacity for affairs there may be in Mr..
Chamberlain. There Is a chance for the
yardstick and the pint measure. The shop
keeper. we may assume, Is no longer at

with his recommendations, and not only his
countrymen but his country's rivals for
business would do we'll to give their care
full consideration. He wants to advance
the interests of his own people. which is a

Speaking of a recent factional fight In the
democratic party in Indianapolis, the Jour-
nal Of that city says:
Mr. Taggart's defeat Is as pronounced
and conspicuous as Mr.. Keachs victory
The words crushing and overwhelming
seem to be applicable. No political leader
or boss ever had greater faith In his star
and luck than Mr. Taggart has had He
had won so many victories and had his Way
so long that he had come to consider him
self invincible. OF course, he expected to
win in this contest. If he had thought
there was any probability of defeat he
would not have engaged in it.
This Is the Mr. Taggart whose star at
one time seemed to be rising on the ma
tional horizon. Some of his friends sug-
gested the presidency for him. Others
thought he would about fit the vice presi-
dency Still others had him in mind for
chairman of the national committee in sue
cession to Mr.. Jones Of Arkansas. He has
been successful in business as well as in
politics. But If his defeat in his home
town is as disastrous as described he can
not hope. of course. to play large part in
larger field. The prophet is rarely with
but the politician cannot afford to be with
out honor in his own country.
And this brings to mind the situation in
Indiana as respects the democracy. The
old combination now on the cards again
between the south and the east includes the
Hoosier state. Three times under the old
order Of things the party went there for
It's vice presidential candidate. Mr.. Hen
bricks was taken in 1916. Mr.. English in
1880, and Mr.. Hendricks again In 1884 In
those days the state was regarded as demo-
cratic territory. Mr.. Hendricks. Mr. Eng
lish Mr.. Mcdonald and Mr.. Voorhees, were
known as the Big Four, and they were
fairly entitled to that complimentary deS-
ignation. Mr.. Hendricks was a sagacious
man of charming personal address, Mr..
English possessed in large measure what
is known as horse sense" Mr.. Mcdonald
a good lawyer and a popular man. and
Mr.. Voorhees, a very effective stump
made a strong team.
Apparently they have left no successors.
The present democratic leadership in the
state is parochial as compared with what
it was but few years ago. There is MO-
body figuring in affairs today who even re-
motely suggests those men in any particu-
lar. The republicans. on the other hand.
have found good working substitutes for
Morton. and Harrison, and Porter. Mr..
Fairbanks and Mr.. Beveridge are men Of
high credit with the country. while in Mr..
Hemenway. and Mr.. Overstreet. and Mr..
Lands the state has three very capable
men In the national House.
Although in the democratic calculations
for next year. Indiana. it will thus be seen.

the democracy a good man for second
place on the national ticket And maybe

upon which certain students of local

cent part in our life for which no adequate

merit of the bicycle that it was within the

dollars on a secondhand wheel. It took
out into the open air many thousands of
people who had led sedentary life, and

their old indoor habits. 1t made city peo-

buildings are all in the southeast
corner Of the exposition grounds, neal
the main entrance, and at the ter
mini OF the transportation lines.
This portion Of the grounds is broken
and uneven, cut up with deep ravines
and hills. all thickly covered with a
splendid old oak forest. The South
Dakota building will be within ten
rods of the open air mining exhibit,
which will show in actual operation
a mine burrowed into a side hill,
along the ravine, and the various pro-
cesses of reducing the ore tostullion.
Around the corner will be the
Colorado building. South Dakota's
site is at the forking OF three roads,
a particularly fine location, neal a
main gate
Seven thousand dollars will be
spent in the construction of the
building, and three architects are
now preparing plans 1t is planned
to commence construction in the ear
ly winter months. so that the build
ing can be ready for decoration In
February.
The various South Dakota state
fairs this year, at Mitchell, Huron,
Sioux Falls, Yankton and other
places, have agreed to turn over their
exhibits to the commission. The
best will be selected for the state
building.
There will be agricultural. mining,
dairy and educational departments,
each in charge of competent persons.
Mr.. Warner, of Forestburg, will
probably attend to the agricultural
exhibit; Mr.. Russell, Nof the COM
mission, to the mining; Mr.. Sher-
wood, state dairy commissioner, to
the dairy; and Superintendent Nash
to the educational work.
Doane Robinson has been commits
stoned to prepare 4 suitable souve-
mir, presenting in a neat and at

of the state, and will have a on
tributor to set forth each of the
departments outlined above, showing
the great and varied resources. These
pamphlets will be for general distri-
button, and will be printed in large
quantities. In addition to other at
tractive exhibits there will be a
game and fish exhibit, covering the
indigenous fauna of the state.
There is a vast deal of detail work
to all this. and Secretary Farmer

Bank Thieves are Coming.

An eastern institution which aims
to keep track, so far as possible, of
the movements of bank thieves has
sent the information to this state
to be on the watch FOR a gang that
has left the east for South Dakota.
They have been known to purchase
tickets to points in the state and it
is presumed that they will come
here for business. The fact. that
there is a large harvest IN South
Dakota this year has attracted
them, and they figure that with the
crowds of harvest hands that are
coming and going they can do their
work with ease and escape with
the travelling tourists. Doubtless
the precaution sent out will be
needed by the bankers of the state.

ELECTED TWO TEACHERS
Two Vacancies on Teaching Force
Was Supplied by the Board
Of Education.

a special meeting Of the hoard Of
education was held Friday evening
to arrange for filling the vacancies
that have occurred in the teaching
faculty in the past few weeks. Mrs.
Phillip Tobin, who was recently mar
ried, filed her resignation with the
board. as did also Miss Alice Saul,
who has been in the schools for sew
real years.
An arrangement has been in course
of settlement between the University
and the school board for the past
three weeks to secure a competent
critic teacher for the south side
school, and who would be used jointly
by the University for practical nor
NAL school work, and ty the board OF
education for regular primary work.
The arrangement was concluded by
securing the services Of Miss Cora
Miner as the critic teacher. She will
accept the position. Miss Miner re-
signed her place in the primary work
of the city schools when the teachers
were reelected in June. and she in
tended to teach in the Sioux City
schools next year, having accepted a
place. Her position as critic teacher
is equally as good as the Sioux City
offer and she has decided to remain
in Mitchell.
Miss Augusta Mcguire was elected
to take Mrs. Tobin's place in the
schools and Miss Reierson will take
Miss Saul's room. Miss Reierson was
engaged for the south side schools,
but when the change was made she
was transferred. The schools viii.
