Right here at Regina arc some OF tho

farmers, majority OF tho lands belong
Ing to United States citizens.
That section Is cut up by many rail-
reads and 1t is about as well settled
as Dakota itself. Running northward
from Regina, the wheat country extends
for hundreds OF miles. Almost directly
north is Prince Albert which is now
reached by two railroads, with settle
ments all along the way. The distance
between the two places, as the crow
flies, is over two hundred miles. Prince

directly north of the American boundary.

The surveyor general of Canada, who has

are more than twice the size of the

The Real Responsibility.

The man who is elected to the Legisla-
ture is the fellow who is going to be re-
sponsible for the outcome of the dispen-
sary issue In this State. 1t is of extreme
Importance to elect mar of the highest
stamp of character and ability to the
Governors chair, but 1t is of no greater
Importance than the election of the men,
bers of the General Assembly. The News
has said before, and it repeats, that it is
essential for each county to have candi-
dates for the Legislature who represent
every phase of the liquor question as 1t
confronts South Carolina to-day. Every
man Offering for the General Assem-
bly, should be made to stand on
one side of the fence or the other. This
is no time for straddling. The people
should have a chance TO vote this sum
mer for whatever solution of the liquor
problem they think best.
The legislator is tho man with the
power. Too much Importance can not
be laid upon the necessity of eleoting the
right kind of men for the Legislature, il
the public desires to get the right kind
of legislation enacted. Force the best
men of every community to run. The
public will profit or suffer according to
the interest taken by citizens in exerois-
ing their right of suffrage.

TllIman Won't Go TO White House.

Washington, June 23.-"I have been
insulted there once and do not propose
to place myself in this position again II /
can prevent it." These are the words
used by Senator Tillman to-day when he
was made acquainted with the Presidents
recent utterances tending to indicate a
desire Tor reconciliation between him
self and the senior Senator from South
Carolina.
The unpleasant difficulty that startled
the galleries of the Senate few years
back when the two South Carolina Sena-
tors-Tillman and MoLaurin-engaged In
the manly art of knocking each other
about the floor, and the subsequent with
drawal of Tillman's Invitation to the
reception at the White House to meet
Prince Henry, then paying visit to this
country, are still fresh in tho minds of
the people who have followed Senator
Tillman's career since he entered the
Senate.
There is no notion on the part of Sem
ator Tillman of bringing about recon
ciliation with the Chief Executive, unless
such reconciliation is accompanied by an
unconditional apology from the Presi-
dent, and as there is little probability of
this, the matter of love feast between
them is still in the air.
Those who know Senator Tillman we'll,
know that nothing short of and apology
will satisfy him. While the President is
credited with having recently said that
he liked Senator Tillman, and while the
Senator is likewise quoted as having made
a statement to the effect that he believed
the President to be straight, and all
right, these are taken only as passing
remarks, made without serious consider
alton, and hardly worth remembering.
The utterancos of Senator Tillman that
he would not allow himself to be again
insulted, are believed to represent his
real feelings toward the President.
While he admits he is ready to forgive
man-whether he is President or pri-
vate oitizen-for wrong, he is not will
ing, according to his own words, to place
himself in the attitude of being wilfully
insulted second time, even though that
man be the President of the Uniled
States.

the word 'by.' This also is a pecu-
liar habit of Lula Hayes and diver
gent from the writing of Hoyt Hayes.
"The combination of the letters sth'
in the writing in question shows an
extremely high 81 with uniform
spacing between these letters, which
characteristic is shown in the writ
ing of Lula Hayes and divergent
characteristic in the writing of Hoyt
Hayes, bis writing showing narrow
spacing between 81 and 'h,' and a
high crossing rs a necessary result.
This is characteristic that might be
misinterpreted by one not making a
careful examination.
"The word sof' in the writing in
question is a peculiar word which is
exactly duplicated in numerous in
stances in the writing of Lula Hayes,
as is shown on page 8 of the stand
ard letter of October Oath.
"The writing in question shows a
maximum pen pressure on down
ward strokes, there being a slight
shading on nearly every downward
stroke. This also is very signifi-
cant characteristic of the writing of
Lula Hayes, and is not shown as
habit in the writing of Hoyt Hayes,
but his writing on the contrary shows
a tendency to shade the initial or
first stroke of each word, which is
distinctly divergent from the writing
in question in this particular.
"His writing shows extremely long
beginning strokes in many instances,
which is also divergent from the
writing in question.
"The final st. in the writing in
question is a peculiar letter, made
exactly as it is made in the writing
of Lula Hayes, and the finishing
small Sc shows peculiar individual
characteristic in the writing in ques-
tion which is repeatedly duplicated
in the writing of Lula Hayes, and
also differs from that of Hoyt Hayes.
"The writing in question shows a
very short small ~ made as initial
letter, and this is also a habit of
Lula Hayes, and not habit of Hoyt
Hayes.
"The small So as shown in the
word Sickness shows design diff
fering from this letter as made by
Hoyt Hayes, and is exactly dupli-
Gated in the writing of Lula Hayes.
"This comparison can be extended
to great length and shows, in my
opinion, without the slightest doubt,
that the note in question was written
by Lula Hayes, and was not written
by Hoyt Hayes. I also think it alb
solutely impossible that he could
have 80 skilfully simulated the writ
ing of Lula Hayes. The most sig
nificant characteristics in such an in
quiry are the inconspicuous and un.
conscious characteristics which
would not be observed except by
one who had made special study of
such q subject. The writing in
question does not show that hesita-
tion and inconsistency as would in
evitably appear, if writer, showing
the characteristics of Hoyt Hayes,
attempted to initiate the writing of
Lula Hayes. think it clearly i'm
possible that he could have success
fully interpreted and reproduced
these peculiar characteristics, espe-
cially under the conditions.
GAIL these considerations lead to
the irresistible conclusion that the
note in question was written by Lula
Hayes.
