The candidacy of Chas. J. Buell.
of Rapid City for congress appears
to be inspired by a business rivalry
between Rapid City and Deadwood.
These two cities were rivals for the
possession Of a large manufactur-
ing plant. Deadwood, which is the
home of Congressman Martin, won
out, and in retaliation Rapid City
carried the matter into politics by
bringing out Mr.. Buell. as a candi-
date. Mr.. Buell. is therefore an
anti-machine candidate, but it is
the machinery of the manufactur-
ing plant that located in Deadwood
that he is principally opposing.

Huronite: The agricultural de-
partment at Washington will build
a mile of model road in each state
for the purpose of instructing far
mers in the construction of good
roads and creating public senti-
ment in favor of the good roads
movement, Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wilson has decided to build a
mile of modern road at Brookings,
near the Brookings college. His
idea in this, is that the students at
the college may become familiar
with the manner of building mod
ern road bed and that in enlisting
young men of the agricultural col
lege in this movement toward
creating more general opinion on
the subject. The work will be un-
der the supervision of experts sent
out by the agricultural department.

1t is said that the senate is get
ting together on an amendment to
the rate bill, providing for a court
review. The proposed amendment
provides that in case the interstate
commerce commission shall fix a
substitute for an existing rate, and
the railroad companies shall be-
lieve the substitute rate unjust,
they may appeal to the courts to
have the new rate set aside; they
may also deposit an amount equiv
alent to the difference between the
new rate and the old one, and then
by order of the court the new rat
ing shall not 60 into effect until
the final decision of the court is
rendered. Should the case be de-
cided in favor of the railroad COM
panies the deposit is to be return
ed to them. If the new rate is
substantiated the deposit is to be
paid to the shippers to cover the
extra charges that have been col
lected. This is perhaps as good a
solution of the problem as it is pos
sible to get, but it has its objec-
tionable features. AS between the
railroad companies and the ship.
pers it would be just and fair, but
how about the consumer These
cases would be held in court fol
months and perhaps years. In the
mean time the merchant who has
paid the old freight rate, marks biz
goods so as to cover the freight
paid, and sells them to his custo
mers. Should the merchant by
order Of the court, afterward get 6
rebate on this freight it would sim
ply add that much to his profit,
but would not benefit the consum
or who has in reality been the los.
! or by the excessive charge.

Mitchell Clarion: Hon. Paul
Landmann, of Scotland, has an
nounced his candidacy for the NOM
ination of state treasurer. Per-
haps no man in the state is better
qualified for this responsible posi-
ton than Mr.. Landmann. His
thorough knowledge Of banking,
his long and successful business
career, his far sightedness as o fl
nancier, his splendid ability, his
unquestioned honesty and business
integrity all combine to make him
an ideal candidate. In addition to
these qualifications Mr.. Landmann
has always been loyal republi.
can, often sacrificing his own am.
bitions in the interests of harm mony
and his friends. Notwithstanding
the excellent qualifications and
high standing of Mr.. Blain of Sphinx
Mr.. Campbell Of Brookings, and
Mr.. Cassill Of Lincoln, for state
treasurer, the selection of Mr.
Landmann by the republican con.
vention would add strength to the
ticket and his election would place
the states finances in most worthy
hands. Here's success to the Bor
Homme county man.

Just now we are herring a great
deal about changes in climate
caused by the planting Of trees,
cultivation Of soil, and accumula-
tion of surface water by the sink.
ing of artesian wells. Crop condi-
tions have apparently been grow
ing better during the past twenty
five years, hot winds are less fire.
quent and general Impression
has existed that the development
of the country through human
agencies had produced change in
climatic conditions. Now comes
Prof. Chilcott and Prof. Todd with
declarations shattering all of these
fond delusions, and declaring that
nothing that can be done by hu-
man agency can change climate.
They acknowledge that there has
been an increased rainfall during
the past few years, but this is pure
ly incidental, and considered in cy-
cles Of say fifty years there will be
found to be no material difference
in the average annual rainfall.
Whether true or false an assertion
of this kind may be safely made.
The record of rainfall has not been
kept anywhere in the state to ex-
ceed twenty-five years, so it will re.
quire seventy five years more to
prove the truth or falsity of the
statement. We would not think of
questioning a scientific theory so
ably defended, but we would ad-
wise farmers to continue to plant
trees, to increase the area of cult
walton and to sink artesian wells,
and should beneficial results con-
tinue to follow do not battle science
by giving credit to human agency,
but give thanks for the happy CO.
incidence.
