The democratic organization of
this state seems to be in the posi-
tion of Sindbad the Sailor with
Gen. Maris Taylor as the Old Man
Of the Sea. MIR. Taylor holds the
position of national central com
mitteenan, but over year ago he
moved to the state OF Washington.
The central committee, supposing
that this removal caused a vacan-
cy in the Office Of national COM
mitteeman, issued a call for a
meeting to be held this week Tues
day for the purpose of electing a
successor to Mr.. Taylor. When
Mr.. Taylor heard Of the call he
promptly wired the chairman of
the central committee that no va
cancy exists as he intends to claim
South Dakota as his home until
his term as national committee
man expires. Evidently Mr.. Tay
Ior wishes to retain his prestige so
that if by chance a democratic
president should be elected next
year he will be in line for some ap-
pointment.

The evidence of a close money

that next year Is a national cam
paign year-always a poor year

people to look for another season:

kota farmer there is very little to
fear from either of these sources.
In most parts of the state the far
mers are independent of the east
sern capitalists. The mortgaged
indebtedness is Insignificant COM
pared to what it was in 1898 and
1894, during the former financial

some defect in the manner of deal
ing withour insane patients. Eth
er Mrs. Whitney is insane or she

a fit subject for the asylum she

stitution. The fact that no effort
is made in that direction indicates
that the asylum authorities consid
er that she is competent to have
her freedom. If this is true why
has she been detained there in the
past2 1t is probably true, as DR..
Mead says, that a properly consti-
tuted board of insanity in Mime
haha county declared her insane,
but such examinations are, from
their very nature, very superficial
tests. The woman now declares
that certain letters said to have
been written by her and presented
to the board as evidence against
her were forgeries. On the other
hand there may have been eviden
ces of temporary insanity. The
woman had suffered from domes-
tic troubles which might reasona.
bly, have caused temporary de-
rangement. But is the finding OF
such a board to be final in such
cases2 Should not the observa-
tions of expert physicians at the
asylum determine the condition of
a patient rather than the superb.

FIRST RAILROAD ENGINE IN COREA.
there are the energetic foreigners, in
terested in the of her 81, 900
square miles, in her generous coast
line.
Poor Corea! And yet what would
she be in this day and age if foreign
enterprise were to let her alone, had let
her alone? A hermit nation indeed, a
land untouched by twentieth century
advance. AS it is, Corea can show on
siderable evidence of philosophical
ness, considerable evidence that she
has entered into friendly league with
the outsider.
Missionary, trader and engineer have
worked theiriniluences, and Corea to-day
has Christian churches and schools, has
hospitals, dispensaries, newspapers,
railways, iron bridges, electric lights
and street railways. Mr.. William FL
liot Griffis, in his book America in the
East" thus lauds the part our own
countrymen have taken in undermining
Corea: "The first railway from Che
mulpo to Seoul, with its iron bridges
and modern equipments, and the first
electric lights and street railways in
Seoul, the exploitation and develop
ment Of the mines, have been begun
and carried out by Americans. The
renovation of the capital city from the
similitude of a pigsty to one of the
brightest and cleanest cities in the
east is the work of native officers who
had experience in Washington"
Of course it was the war Of 1894-5
that made preparation for the nations
progress, and in these subsequent years
the progress has been almost revolu-
tionary. In and about Seoul is an cleo
trio railway 18 miles in length; a rail-
way that is now very popular with the
natives, although at first they disap-
proved of the innovation to such an ex-
tent they tore up the tracks and de-
stroyed buildings. The railway from
the seaport Chemulpo to the capital
Seoul, a distance of rs miles, is in sue
cessful operation.

o. NATIONAL AID.
Col. BrOwnlOw Talks About His o
Bill Which He Has ReintrO-
duced In HOuse.

Congressman w. P. Brownlow, of Ten
nessee, has introduced in the house his
well-known roads bill. Acting on the
criticisms of opponents and the sugges-
lions of friends, Col. Brownlow has re-
vised the bill somewhat, but all impor-
new bill appropriates 1924, O00, 900 to be
used as a fund for national aid in the
Improvement of highways. This sun Is
made available during the next three
years, at a rate of $4,000 900 annually.
No state or subdivision thereof can Sc.
cure any part of this fund without rails
ing an amount equal to the share re-
ceived. The distribution among the
several states and territories is to be
made on an equitable basis so as to leave
no room for "log rolling" In reference
to the bill, Col. Brownlow said the other
day:
81 think my good roads Measure has
made wonderful progress during the
country have Endorsed it, and a number
of state legislatures have adopted reso-
lutions in favor of it. The number OF
public men who have come out for it has
exceeded my highest expectations. In
the west and south the sentiment for
the bill is especially strong. A large
number of senators and members from
those sections have assured me Of their
willingness to support the measure
and it will also have some strong sup.
port from the eastern states, whert
state aid has paved the way for nation.

sions. I am hopeful Of getting the bill

per cent. of the whole number of in
habitants. In the Argentine Republic
many Germans have found homes to
their liking, and quite a number in Chilli.
1t is estimated that more than $3.50, 000,-
900 of German capital is already in
vested in Brazil. In Central as well as
South America Germany has. large com
mercial interests, and as some of the
Central American states are now offer
ing special inducements to desirable
immigrants, probably the Germans ere
long will endeavor to make for them
selves homes there. But it will take Lat
in-America some time to rival our coun-
try in the number of its German-Amer-
leans, recent statistics showing that
nearly 80 per cent. of the German emf
grants still 60 to the United States, and
less TINA five per cent. to Brazil, Argen-
tine and the other American countries.
Germany needs new fields not only be-
cause of her demand for markets, but
because she has a population that is in
~creasing beyond all capacity of the home
land to maintain 1t. At present she is
sending out more ~colonists than any
other country in the world save Great
Britain. According to Mr.. Poultney
Bigelow, thenotable feature Of this move
ment is that the German as a colonist
prefers almost any flag to his own. If
this be true, then the Germans may be
willing to abide by the governments that
obtain in the various South American
districts in which they have settled, and
our old friend, the Monroe doctrine, may
consider itself unassailed.
But a noted English weekly, the Satur-
day Review, asserts that England need
feel no anxiety whatever over the navy
building going on over in Germany, de-
clares that the readiest cause for naval
conflicts will be found in the struggle be-
tween Germany and the United STATES
for the partition or exploitation Of the
great South American continent. And
doubtless battle-worn John Bull
breathes a little easier at the though
that the energetic William is looking our
way instead Of his.

their turn comes. Thus the scantling

made as suggested.
Now begin to dig the hole square and

the hole, make a temporary platform
around it and nail on two boards eight
or ten feet long upon opposite sides Of

Nail on other tiers of boards as before
as high as can be reached and continue
digging. When a clear space of about
six to ten feet is obtained below, knock

be sufficient. Proceed as before with
the putting on of pieces until water Is
reached.
