Those people and officials in favor
of gouging our industries, and who
oppose every effort to offer induce
ments to get new ones, should read
and think over the following from
the Louisville Herald . 1T is not the
direct tax on factories that yields the
revenue. 1t is the roundabout but sure
returns from the money that the fac
tories bring to the city and pay out
in wages and other expenses. Instead
of burdening and hsrassing our pro-
ductive forces, we should help them
all we can in their struggles for bust
ness. We should never forget that
the community gets the benefit OF
nearly all their gross receipts, while
they themselves get only the net pro-
fits, if there are any. They take all
the risk and may lose. We take no
risk, except the risk of losing them.
And not for ten times the amount of
the tax exemption could we afford
that -

SONGS OF THE DAY.
THE WAY TO SHADOWTOWN.
By Eugene Field.

BY Eugene Field.
Sway to and fro in the twilight gray,
This is the ferry for Shadowtown,
1t always sails at the end of day,
Just as the darkness closes down.
Rest, little head, on my shoulder-so;
A sleepy kiss is the only fare.
Drifting away from the world we go.
Baby and I, in the rocking chair.
See, where the firelogs glow and spark
Glitter the lights Of the Shadowlsnd.
The raining drops on the window
bark
Are ripples tapping upon its strand
There where the mirror is CHANGING
dim,
A lake lies shimmering, cool and
still;
Blossoms are wavering DER Its

sill.
Rock slow, more slow in the dusky
light.
Silently lower the anchor down.

to q realization of the situation too
late. They replied to the indignant
expressions of the people heard on all
sides by saying the city hadn't the
money to make the desired improve
ments. Finally the merchants met
and figured up that it would be cheap
er for them to lend the city the mon
ey, and they have done it, according
to reports. If they hadn't done it.,
the money would have gone in in
creased insurance rates and they
would have had nothing to show for it
but the insurance. AS it is, they are
to have good fire protection, reasona-
BILE insurance rates, and their money
will be repaid by the city when she
gets it. But all business men are not
so considerate. When they pay taxes
and elect men to run the city. they
expect them to do it right, and not In
such manner as to add to their ex-
penses instead of curtailing them.

BREAKERS AHEAD FOR DEMOC.
RAOY.

No man yet suggested by the Dem
ocrats will have smooth sailing in
event Of his securing the nomination
A nun Der of the leading Democratic
papers have opened up on Mr.. Hearst
being startled at the proportions
his boom, has assumed, and while q
number of papers are DESERVING Mr..
German and going over to Cleveland,
which of those mentioned, or possihil
tiles not mentioned, will develop the
greatest strength is at present an un.
known quantity.
The Globe Democrat says of Mr..
Oleveland's candidacy:
1.-TWO things are brought out very
plainly by the ex-President's inflam-
matory language. One is that he ia
willing to accept the candidacy. if it
be offered to him. Another is that if
he gets the candidacy the Republicans
will have lots of fun with him during
the campaign. A man who will lose
his temper on such slight provocation
as this is legitimate and very easy
game for his enemies. Many things
were connected with Clevelands Sec
ond term in the Presidency that were
never brought to the front with any
circumstances and omprehensiveness
In the campaign of 1895 and 1900 the
Republicans were prevented from say
ing much about Clevelsnd's second
term by the fact that he was against
Bryan and in favor of the Republican
ticket in each canvass. All this will
be changed if the Democrats should
be insane enough to nominate him
this year. II the Democratic party
wants to confer on especial favor on
the Republicans it will give Mr..
Cleveland two thirds vote in the st.
Louis convention of 1904"

No, dear reader there is no clssl
between our worthy mayor and the
county judge. All that's the matter
is that the county judge says the city
must bury all paupers who die in the
city, and tho mayor says the county
must do it. But, whichever is right,
there is apparently no occasion to fall
out, as the one most concerned is the
pauper, and he'll be dead.

THE FRESHMAN HAD HIS DOUBTS
As is well known, Rev. Robert Col
yer, Of New York City was a black
smith in Germantown, Pennsylvania,
before he became preacher. Once,
when there was little work at hand,
he asked builder in his neighborhood
for something to do. The latter re-
piled that all he would give him would
be a job carrying . hod.

smith promptly.
Years afterward, while an imposing
eiifice was being erected in Chicago
for DR.. Oollyer. he was standing
among the beams watching the pro-
gress of the work. when an Irishman
came along with IA hod of bricks. DR..
Collyear spoke to him and he paused.
"This is har-rd work, soir," said
the Irishman.

The city authorities might profit
by reading the history Of Knoxville,
Tennessee's, insurance troubles. The
insurance underwriters repeatedly
asked that certain things be done in
extending and improving the fire pro-
lection. They said il it was not done
rates would be raised. The wise leg
islstors thought it was all bluff, and
hearkened not. Then the rates were
raised, and it was pretty stiff raise,
from 90 to 80 per cent. There was a
wave of Indignation swept over the
city. Some merchants had to pay
$500 more year to protect their prop
erty from fire. The city officials woke

The Chamberlain Register and the
lroquois Chief are the only two news
papers in the state so far as our infor-
nation goes that have remained
strictly neutral and absolutely mum
during the eighteen hot months OF
the capital campaign. The tempta-
ton to spit out something must have
been something awful and If for moth
ing else both are entitled to a good
deal Of credit for the spartan stoicism
exhibited. What prompted them to
take this peculiar position in the
greatest question that eyer came up
for settlement in the state is more
than we know-though the Kings
bury county paper was probably actu-
ated by a desire not to involve it's

Surprised complaints have come to
the editor of the GRAPHIC all through
the capital campaign because there
we're indications that Kimball would
not follow White Lake and cast a
solid vote for Mitchell, if for nc 9TH
er reason than that it would not be an
act Of courtesy to M1lcnen after the
Business Mems League of that city
had unanimously chosen Il kimball
newspaperman OF twenty-five years.
work in the town to look after the
newspaper and literary work of It's
campaign.
Pressure has been brought to bear
upon the GRAPHIC by the strong sup
porters of Mitchell among the bust
ness men here to rip somebody up the
back. There are two objections to
this. First, 1t would not gain a vote;
and, second, a life time of experience
in the newspaper business and close
observation of men and affairs have
taught the editor of the GRAPHIC
that there is no man SO little apt to
carry the vote of a community around
in his pocket for any reason than the
one who has published a newspaper in
a single community for twenty years.
If there is Anything in this world
truer than another 1T is the old say
ing, GA prophet is not without honor
save in his W country" and mo
man is a hero to his valet"
Familiarity breeds contempt"
and on top of it is an inherited desice
by the average man to clip another
fellows wings.
And there you are.
While it would be a source of great
satisfaction for Brule county and
Kimball in particular to cast practic-
ally a unanimous vote for Mitchell,
such a feeling would come wholly from
a pride in the good judgment exer-
cised by our people and not from any
imaginary compliment to the mana
ger Of the Mitchell press bureau. No
one knows better than the writer
the futllity Of such expectations
on the part of almost any man. and
he long ago learned to put such ideas
behind him.
Such condolences and worth as the
editor of the GRAPHIC has deserved
in this community we believe have
been at all times accorded him. He is
willing to let it 90 at that. If any
man believes that the interests OF
the state and Of Brule county will
be conserved to a greater extent by
leaving the capital at Pierre we send
