Is there man in this county who
thinks the Toole administration has
hurt the county by raising railroad
assessments? Is there a man in the
county who wants republican ad-
mlnlstration, controlled by Tom Car
ter, to SIT in Helena and put the rail-
road assessments back where Rick
ards kept them?
During Governor Toole's first ad-
ministration, twelve years ago, the
other four members of the state
board of equalization we're re-
publicans, Those four republicans
voted against Governor Toole when
he wanted to make fair assessment
of the Northern Pacific property.
They voted to leave that road un-
taxed.
lfyou want the railroad property
assessed properly, elect democratic
state officers who will be in favor of
Governor Toole's policy and will vote
with him as members of the board of
equalization.

of the state, and man who stands
with Governor Toole against any
sort of corporation rule or of med

Republican workers claim that
Hon. William Lindsay ''is an honest
man. Governor Peabody of Color
ado Is also SAID to be an honest man.
Mr.. Lindsay, the respectable sheep
man of Glendive, was picked as cam
didate for governor by a state con-
vention that was absolutely DOM
mated by Oily Tom Carter. MIR.
Peabody, the respectable banker of
Colorado, was picked by Colorado
republican convention that was alb
solutely dominated by the law-defy-
ing corporations. Who knows but
that Lindsay and Peabody are men
of the same stamp-honest. but mar
row and arbitrary? On the other
hand, Governor Toole is an honest
man-tried in the fire of 81 years OF
public life in Montana. No honest
man in all Montana questions Gov
ernor Toole's honesty aud integrity.

DIXON OR GORMLEY?

DO you want a corporation repre-
sentative in cungr, IS? A man who
is controlled by Tom Carter and the
railroads, man who stands by Speak
or Cannon, who said that he would
do everything he could to defeat irri-
cation legislation? Then vote for
Dixon, and send him to congress.
How about Gormley? Why did
the democratic convention nominate
him by acc.amation! Because Aus
tin G. Gormley, for the last five or
six years, has been gong steadily on
fighting corporation rule in this state,
never stopping to consider what it
might cost him. Because Gormley
has stood firm since January, 1903,
for the recommendation made by
Governor Toole in his message to
the legislature, never wavering or
hating.
Gormley is man who stood at
the printers case and set type while
he was studying law, so that he could
educate himself in his chosen pro-
fession and at the same time support
his mother. If Gormley had been
wanting in backbone he could have
had good thing by going over to
the corporations that want to con-
troll TINS state. But he one of the
people; he believes the people are in
telligent enough to rule themselves,
and should rule themselves, without
corporation interference.
In congress Dixon stands we'll with
the republican leadeas, and every
one of those leaders is corporation
man. When the democrats wanted

total valuation of the railroad prop

The republican state central COM

by supreme, court proceedings has
succeeded in preventing the anti
trust democratic and antitrust re-
publican parties from getting places
on the official ballot. The ANTITRUST
parties had indorsed the straight
democratic state ticket and the re-
publicans are jubilant because they
think the courts action will cause
the democratic state nominees to lose
some votes. However, when it comes

Power Of R.aium,, Heat.

Lord Kelvin has been approached to
see whether he is prepared to admit
that radium as a widely diffused ele-
ment of the earth's composition could
suffice to account for the long cons
during which biologists assert that
this planet has existed. His lordshlp
hesitates. He doubts whether it is yet
proved that radium gives out for any
length of time the marvellous amount
Of heat which has been recorded dur
ing the short period the element has
been under observation. If radium
does emit this heat, which Is by far
its most astonishing property so far,
then the veteran physicist thinks, like
Nine. Curie, that it must receive and
be constantly receiving energy from
some cosmic store, transmitted some
how by ethereal waves. Sir Oliver
Lodge thinks this hypothesis has been
shown ito be in many respects feast
bic, though, taken all round, unlikely
and rather artificial" The subject Is
altogether one on which it is better to
suspend judgment than to theorize at
present.A-London Telegraph.

THE HUMAN LINCOLN.
How the Great aud simple Man
wOuld ROmp With the

How the Great and simple MaA
Would Romp With the children.
In my boyhood my family lived al
most directly across the street from
Mr.. Lincoln. He had two sons. Robert
and Thomas, nicknamed Tad" who
were about the same = as my broth
er, Dr. Jesse X. and myself. We, with
the other boys of the ne.gllhorhood.
used to gather on l.incoln's corner in
the summer evenings and play the usu-
al games of boys until bedtime. Often
Mr.. Lincoln would romp With us, and
we We're perfectly safe in playing
jokes on him. There was one prank
which never failed to be great sport
for us.
The front fence of MIR. Lincoln's
Springfield home, then and now, was
about three feet high and stood on a
brick wall which was about five feet
high. Almost directly in front of the
steps leading up from the sidewalk to
the house was a tree planted by Mr..
Lincoln himself, which still stands
there. At that time it was about eight
cen or twenty feet high.
Mr.. Lincoln, as ! recall. invariably
wore Il high hat, commonly called a
plug hat. During the time of his
great debates with Douglas and just
preceding and after his nomination for
the presidency Mr.. Lincoln was much
preoccupied i'll mind. When ut home
he usually wen up to the statehouse
after his evening meal to consult With
his party associates. He was quite
regular in his habits and usually came
back about $50 in the evening. His
habits We're SO we'll fixed that the boys
could calculate ON his movements. and
we tied a string from the tree to the
fence at just such Il height as to strike
Mr.. Lincoln's plug hat about the cen
ter. We hid ourselves behind the fence
in the adjoining yard. behind the wall
around the corner and in various
places.
When Mr.. Lincoln. With his arms
folded behind his back and evidently
in deep thought. would be suddenly
ulouSeu ny NAV my HIS ldl klloCkeu OIL
by some unseen power we would raise
a mighty yell, rush out from our hid
ing places, grab hold of him wherever
we could find a place and shout for
Joy. All his serious thoughts would
vanish instantly, and he would laugh
and romp with US, and not infrequent-
ly march up the street with all the
boys clinging around him until he
could find a place to buy us some nuts
or fruit.
When a boy ten years of age, l was
one of the great crowd of his neigh
bors and friends who assembled at
the Wabash depot in Springfield in
February, 1861, and heard him bid
farewell to his neighbors and friends
in a speech tinged with sadness, but
with Christian hope.-Senator Dubois

Heroic War Measures.

trained a powerful army which was
famous in war. If a regiment was
beaten it was slaughtered on its re-
turn to the kings palace. If any man

see what kind of weapons were most
successful he would order q sham fight
with them, in which real lives would
be lost.

THAT MILLION DOLLAR MOVE

The Pierre bureau of misinforma-
ton in endeavoring to eplighten the
people of the state on certain fea-
lures of the capital removal is cell
tainly doing a most wonderful stunt
when 1T boldly proclaims that it
will cost the tax payers one million
dollars to move the capital from
Pierre to Mitchell. By mentioning
the magnificent sum Of one million
dollars the bureau expects to brighten
the voters into leaving the capital
where 1T is.
OF course it is understood that
anything Pierre can say in reference
to the expense Of this project is SIM
ply done to prejudice people against
Mitchell. The claim is made that
with the capital at Mitchell efforts
will be made by Mitchell to cause
the state to erect a million dollar
capitol building at once. Pierre
hasn't tie first scintilla OF authority
to speak for Mitchell in this mat
ter-she dosen't know what she is
talking about in the remotest degree
but she feels that this prejudice
must be worked up to save her scalp.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
city hall building which Mitchell is
erecting for the temporary capitol,
has given Pierre the jim Jams of the
worst kind. They are calling it a
humbug, and that the city council
will permit the state to occu.
by it. The business men Of Mitchell
have the credit over the state of be-
ing a pretty honest class and when
their representatives, the members
of the city council, offer to the state
the free use of the city hall buildi ng
for the capitol just as long as the
state desires. the people of South
Dakota a rely upon the fact that
there is no string to the proposition.
They will keep their word good to
the state and will not insist on the
expenditure Of a million dollars or
any other sum for the erection Of a
capitol building until the state can
realize a higher price on the lands
set apart for the purpose, even if it
ne five, ten or twenty years.
1t is a matter of history that dur
ing the past three sessions Of the leg
isluure there has been any mount
Of criticism from the members OF
the u%nfitness, the inadequaoy and the
unsafe condition of the capitol build
ing at Pierre. Had there ever been
the least ground for the superstition
that Pierre was to be the permanent
capital Of South Dakota the legisl4-
ture would have begun ele this to
have provided for such a structure.
We believe we are justified in saying
that ninety per cent of the voters
realize should Pierre by any possibil-
ity retain the capitol the first thing
she will attempt to do will be to Sc
cure the passage of an act requiring
