ABERDEEN, s. D., JANUARY 10, 1905
The Governors Message

Our new governor, a very com
monplace sort of a man, has de.
livered a message to the legisla-
ture, couched in uncouth diction,
which has made himself the tar
get of many a shaft from the
local and outside press. Still the
governor must be credited with
some wise recommendations to
the lawmakers. Ali will agree
with him that the Agricultural
College and the state university
should each be confined within
it's proper sphere. Also that less
money be spent on military par
ade and more on farmers insti-
tutes. He points out that this
state and Arkansas are the only
states making no appropriation
for farmers institutes.
But the governor has availed
himself of another opportunity
to make a conspicuous display
of bad taste. It will be remem-
bered that at the state conven-
ton, in his speech following his
triumphant nomination, he made
offensive remarks about his de-
feated opponent, the gallant lead
err ofthe anti-machine republicans
of the state. Now it is generally
understood that it is the consti-
tutional duty of the legislature
to pass a primary election bill.
Over 5000 citizens of the state
have imposed this duty upon the
legislature. The member who
shirks it violates his oath of
Office. This extraordinary pro-
ceeding of the initiative takes
this measure outof the governors
province TO recommend such
measures as he shall deem ex-
pedient." His argument against
a primary law is entirely out of
place, and if it means anything it
means a suggestion to the legis-
lative members to disregard their
sworn duty. It is safe to say
that most of the legislators have
a nicer perception of official
honor than the governor has ex-
hibited.

The News man at Pierre says
that the petitioners for the pri-
mary law are "a handful of agita-
tors bent upon the destruction Of
the republican party" OF
course the DEMOCRAT would not
object seriously to that consum-
alton if it had to proceed the de-
struction of ring rule in this
state; but these bosses always
consider their snug little gang
and the republican party as being
identical.

The News editorial correspon.
dent at Pierre thinks to discredit
the lnlative and referendum by
calling it "populistic" and ''socia.
llstic." This weapon now in the
hands of the people of this state
will not be easily wrested from
them. The frantic ringsters
whom this method of popular ex.
preston has driven to despara.
ton can gnash their teeth and
call naughty names, but thew
can not take away this constitu-
tlonal guaranty that the voice of
the people can always be heard

The message of Governor FL
rod to the new legislature of
South Dakota ought to delight
every lover ofhumor. Doubtless
the governor didn't intend to be
funny. but he just couldn't help
it. Mark Twain said that there
were three persons entitled to
use we as a singular pronoun in
the first person-an editor, an
emperor and a man with a tape
worm. The governor is not an
editor, and it would be persump-
tuous to indulge any assumptions
as to which of the other classi6-
cations he would desire to be
assigned.-Sioux City Tribune.

The National Live StOck Reporter
of January 2, in summing up the
range horse trade for the year just
past, gives figures that show u most
remarkable increase in the market
price of these horses during the last
nine years. The Reporter says:
"Take the prices at which good
mares and geldings were selling in
1885, 'g96 and 81; they were about s15
to $40. The same horses this year
have sold from $50 to $40, and M
load Of brood mares were sold in the
July 5 sale at $50, that were not a bit
better than the mares sold at s15 and
$40 in the late nineties. Yearlings
and two year olds, hundreds of which
have sold on this market at $40 to s15
per head, have changed hands this
year at 3 g. 50 to $3.50, while colts and
weanlings, which at one time could
not be sold at all apart from their
mothers have sold in carlots at SIS to
s25 per head"
Some farmers in this county have
in considerable winter rye. August
Cryer, who lives near Putney has in
so acres. Isaac Lincoln has also a
considerable acreage of this grain.
The ample moisture of the fall months
has made it possible for this grain to
60 into winter in good condition. Mr..
Cryer's has little winter covering be-
ing sowed on plowed ground, while Mr..
Lincoln's was disced into barley stub
BILE.
From a recent issue of the Dakota
Farmer, a correspondent contributes
a rule for measuring hay in the stack,
and since he got it badly mixed, a
publication of the correct rule might
be timely. After hay is well settled
in a stack a cube seven feet each way
is estimated to be a ton. Therefore a
ton contains Tiki equals 343 cubic
feet. The difficulty is in finding the
cubic contents of the stack owing to
its sloping sides. To do this measure
the length of the stack: say it is 81
feet. Next measure the width of the
stack: call it Z feet. Now throw a
rope over the stack and find the num-
Der of feet from the ground over the
stack to the ground on the other side:
say it is 81 feet. Then add 21 feet,
the distance over the stack to Z feet,
the width of it, making % feet, the
distance all around the stack. Divide
% by 4 and Z the quotient indicates
that the irregular, semi-circular stack
is equal to a square body z feet high
and Z feet wide, and since the length
is Il feet the cubical contents of the
stack is 7x7x21 equals 1929 cubic feet.
Dividing the latter number by 3;43, the
number of cubic feet in a ton we find
we have just three tons in our little
stack.

be carried on over the rest of the

SPOKANE MAN
IS A SUiDIDE
Especial to The Press.)

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 3d.
A. E. Yousse of Spokane. Wash, com
mitted suicide yesterday morning at
his room, 226 Jackson avenue, by
cutting his throat with a razor.
Up to the time of his tragic end
he was known here as Eugene Sholtz,
having adopted the use of an alias
for some purpose yet unexplained.
Before committing his rash act he
wrote his right name on a slip of
paper which was found lying on the
table in his room.
Dependency over financial matters
was the attributed cause for the sui
eide. He was without money and had
pawned his jewelry for small sums
to pay his living expenses. A few
days ago he deposited a draft for
1920 drawn on q Spokane bank with
the Security bank, but nothing has
been heard from it since it was sent
on for collection.
The body is being held at the I'M
dertaking establishment in hopes that
some relative will claim it.

WANT TO BUY
ANY ISLANDS
Around the World, but Does Not
Seem to Find a Brisk Demand.

The state department is being flood
ed with postal cards forwarded by
American consuls, announcing that
the owner of the Canto islands, two
of the Azores, wishes to sell them at
public auction. The islands described
are scarcely more than rocks iutting
out of the sea, and are inhabited eX-
clusively by goats and pigeons. The
owner, who inherited them from a
distant ancestor, evidently believes
that the American government would
like them for a coaling station.
No recommendation has been made
by either the state or navy depart
ment for coaling station in this
locality. The owner of the islands is
proceeding on a wrong assumption,
for the United States could not ac-
quire a coaling station by the pur-
chase of the private title of the pres
ent owner, one Henri Abeu, without
first negotiating a treaty of sover-
eighty with Lisbon. The sovereignty
over the group in which these islands
lie is possessed by Portugal. and it
cure the private property title with:
out first getting the sovereignty.
A curiously worded and spelled in
scription is printed on the postals
which Abeu is circulating On the
face is this:
Islands of Canto. Propriety Of
Henri Abeu, celebrated for having
loh pyh ~ ill1HaH
the persecution of Kearsage during
the war of the two states of the
Union in 1862"
The event to which reference is
made took place when the Alabama
eluded the pursuing Kearsarge by
running into the narrow and difficult
canal between the islands, the Kear-
sarge not daring to follow.
The Cabra, or Goat islands, as
they are called, were lowered by the
king Of Portugal, Dom Maneoel, to
Pedro Canto, an ancestor of the pres
ent owner, in the fifteenth century,
in recognition of service rendered to
the Portuguese fleet.
on the postal card circulated by
Aleu- is written in Portuguese the
following:
"These islands, the Canto or Goat
islands, are for sale. They are stu
ated in the Azores, half way to Amer
lea. There are already European pro-
posals. 1t is desired to know If
American proposals are invited"
It was said by an official of the
re
the islands had taken his wares
everywhere but to the state depart
ment, which would be the natural
place to begin business.
