CONVICT MADE GOODS.
Prison Wade Goo IS TO be Marked for
Identification.

In an opinion handed down In the
case of the People VS.. Hawkins. Judge
Alton b. Parker. while presiding over
the New York Court of Appeals.
PASSED upon the question of convict
made goods. He said:
lit is now too late to consider the
subject generally from the point of
view of the political economist, for the
people. in whom reside all power, have
set at rest that question so far as this
State is concerned. This statute Meth
er prohibits nor attempts to prohibit
other States, or the citizens of other
States, from putting prison made
goods upon our markets; nor does 1t
prohibit our own citizens from buying
or selling them; IL it did, then, con-
cededly, the statute would be in viola
ton of the commerce clause of the
Federal Constitution and void; It
simply requires that prison made
merchandise shall be so branded that
our citizens shall know where the
goods they are buying were made.
This they have a right to know. for
they voted to burden themselves with
additional taxation rather than longer
to permit a competition which they re-
garded as public wrong, and they are.
therefore, entitled to such legislation
as will permit them to know the truth
in regard to articles offered them for
sale, in order that they may not.
through lack of information. have
forced upon them that which they
would not buy advisedly. The COM
merce clause of the Federal Constitu-
ton does not stand in the way Of their
having such information, inasmuch as
the Constitution of this State estab-
fishes a public policy in the working
out of which the Legislature may go
to this extent at least under the police
power of the State"

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
Notes by the Way. Whatyis
Being Done by Each Party

Mr.. Roosevelt's statement that "the
Philippine Islands will be held for the
benefit Of the Filipinos," is merciless-
ly criticized by Bourke Cochran in a
great speech delivered recently at
Tammany Hall. How about the
action of Congress in extending the
coastwise laws to the Philippine
islands," asks MIR. Cochran. This
action means that hereafter every
pound of produce coming from the
Philippine Islands into the United
States must come in American ships.
There are only few ships available
for that traffic, hence the owners Of
them banding together can take from
the unfortunate Filipinos every penny
that their produce is worth over and
above sufficient to keep them alive"

MIR. Roosevelts attempt to inject the
sectional issue into the campaign is
resented and antagonized by some OF
the heaviest contributors to the Re-
publican campaign fund. The men
who have no sympathy with this
feature of the Republican programme
are Northern capitalists who have
large investments in factories, rail
arc Republicans, for one reason or an.
other. but they will not support a
policy which will unsettle political con.
ditions in Southern States, causing a
shrinkage in their own incomes while
serving no good end whatever.

protecting an industry as such is
one thing; 1t means that Americans
shall be enabled to hold possession of
their market, provided they charge
prices for their goods which yield a
fair profit only. Protecting a monop-
oily in the industry is another thing; 1t
means that foreign competition is to
be cut off. even when the American pro-
Queer charges unnatural prices. 1t
means that the trust shall be enabled
TO sell a portion of its goods abroad
at one price and the remainder at
home at a much higher price."-Prof.

II Is just beginning to dawn upon
many New York Republicans that Tim
Woodruff has lost prestige by his
action in Withdrawing his name from
consideration by the Republican State
Convention without fight, thus plac-
ing his friends, and especially his
sponsor, Thomas c. Plat, in an en-
barrassing position. 1t was Sam Fes-
sender who turned savagely upon Joe
Manley at st. Louis, in 1896, after the
Maine boss had deserted Thomas B.

Democrats do not carry his State he
will be a very much mistaken man.
"The campaign out our way" said Mr..
Ryan. lis warming up on both sides
and / look forward to the most ex-
citing contest that Wisconsin has seen
since 1892. The vote will be the larg-
est ever cast and honestly and sin
cerely believe that Judge Parker will
win out. Conditions in Indiana and
Illinois are improving right along and
I believe that those two States will
show up In the Parker column"

Hon. ID. H. Perry. National Com
mitteeman from Utah, says: "It Is
pretty nearly a certainty that the nine
votes of the three States of Utah.
Montana and Colorado will be cast for
Judge Parker. In my State, since the
formation Of the American party by
Senator Kearns. the prospect for the
Democratic party are growing hourly.
The new party is made up almost ex-
clusively of Republicans. so there are
now two Republican parties in the
State. A triangular fight, therefore,
must rebound to Democratic chances"

and all the fine spirits ever made in the
Blue Grass State conld not remedy a bad
liver or the hundred-and one i'll effects it
produces. You can't have good spirits
and a bad liver at the same time. Your
liver must be in fine condition if you
would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful
bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and
successful in your pursuits. You can put
your liver in fine condition by using

]. II. Westover drove up from his
ranch on Monday and had business in
Custer during the day and returned home
On Tuesday. He reports all well and
prospecting, and although the grass is
back ward in starting yet the cattle have
wintered in good shape. Mr.. w. is To-
Gated at the mouth of French creek can.
yon where he is also engaged in devel-
oping a mine which is showing up well.
He has a shaft down POP feet, and is
sinking for copper, as he is very near the
Southern Queen copper mine, and is
looking to strike the same body of rich
copper glance found in that mine. He
informs us that he has recently had tests
made at the Rapid school Of mines and
to his surprise he got a return of $4,000
per ton in gold. This to the writer was
not surprising as we had some years ago
obtained ore from that vicinity which
assayed $2l.00 in gold. This is a new
strike, however, and is encouraging to
those holding property in the neighbor-
hood, and in the same formation. There
is every indication that there will yet be
a rich and extensive mining camp open
ed up at the mouth Of French creek
canyon.

At a meeting of the Board of Health
within and for the county of Custer and
State Of South Dakota, held at the office
Of the President Of said board in Custer
City on the 9th day Of April, 1904, it
was thought best and deemed advisable
that the powers and duties of said board
as created and enjoined by the laws of
! this state, as well as the duties ofall per-
sons living within said county, should
be published so each person living in
the county may know their duties and
knowing them may be prepared to per-
form the same. 1t is therefore ordered
that the following sections of the law be
published for one week in the CUSTER
CHRONICLE to wit:
Section 242 Of the Revised Political
Code of this State of 1908. Said board
is empowered by Sub. Div. 2 of said sec

late any person affected with contagious
or infectious disease"
4. "To isolate, kill or remove any
animal affected with contagious or infec-
tious disease, when the same is danger
Gus to public health"
5. "To remove or causeto be removed,
any dead, decayiug or putrid body, or
any decayed, putrid or other substance
that may endanger the public health"
6. ITO condemn or cause to be des-
troyed any impure or diseased article of
food that may be offered for sale"
And by section 253 of the same code
it is provided that "any person violating
any Of the provisions of this article or
any Of the rules or regulations made by
said state board of health, to carry out
any of the provisions thereof, or any
person who shall prevent or attempt to
prevent any of the officers Of the state
board of health, or any of the officers of
the several county boards of health, or
any person employed by them, or either
Of them, from performing any of the du-
ties prescribed in this article, or any of
the rules and regulations made and pre-
scribed by the state board of health, or
by the county boards of health, or any
practicing physician or other person who
shall fail to report to the superintendent
of the county board of health the exis-
tence of any contagious or infectious dis.
ease, shall be deemed guilty of a misde.
meanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be punished by a fine of not more
than one hundred dollars or b. impris'

The state brand commission at its re-
cent meeting at Pierre has adopted a rule
which will be Of interest to users of
brands. Their new rule refuses to file
the same brand for both cattle and
horses from this time on. The reason
for this change is that it causes great
confusion when the same brand is used
on both classes of stock and the owner
sells one class along with the brand. In
several such cases there have been dis
putes over the right to use the brand,
and it has been decided that it is the
best policy to refuse to register the same
brand for both classes of stock.

Mr.. George Bertschy, sr., who has
been under medical treatment in Denver
for the last two months has returned to
his home near Hill City. We regret to
hear that he has not improved much if
any, and his malady is of a nature diff
cult to cure. He has an inward growth
of some kind which nearly fills the cav-
ity Of the stomach, leaving but little
room for food, and he is in a starving
condition. This tumor may attain its
maximum and break and pass ofTand he
may recover. Let us hope that it may
be SO.
