lust to show YOU that there Is
good money in feeding cattle, no.
tice these figures. w. +. Buchan-
an a few days ago shipped two cars
of fat steers to Kansas City that he
had fed on kafir corn and milo
maize with some cotton seed meal,
that averaged lilo pounds and
sold them at $40 a hundred.
These cattle were fed about 80
DAYS at an approximate cost OF IS
cents a day. This is right at ~
cents a pound, making his steers
bring him nearly $4,000 a head.
Thirty days feeding at Is cents a
dav would be $3.50 a head for
feeding, and then say the total
cost of putting them on the Kan
sas City market is $3.50, that
would be a cost of 5000 a head to
tattcn and ship. Then 5000 from
the selling price would leave $1,000
net per head. Now YOU know as
much about what the cost Of a
three or four year old steer is when
he goes to feeding as the editor of
a country newspaper, but one can
figure a very handsome profit on
this shipment of steers. Now, this
country is settling up very rapidly
and farms are going in all over it.
The amount of forage crops that
will be produced her" this year
under favorable conditions must be
enormous, and these forage crops
may be very cheap. The farmer
may not be able to turn his stuff
into money at prices that have
prevailed heretofore, but he can
hgure to feed it to stock and there
10y realize splendid profits on his
labors. SO it appears to us that
1t is gong to be absolutely ncccs-
sary for a few head of cattle and
hogs and other stock to be an in.

man who intends to farm in Ouav

Declares for Free Trade.

The liberal party, having won a
tremendous victory in the recent Brit
ish election, as it claimed, upon the
question of free trade versus protec-
ton, thought fit to clinch it's triumph
by declaration in the house of COM
mons. 1t took the form of a resolu-
tion introduced by a private member,
but supported by the government and
expressed in these terms:
That this house, recognizing that in
the recent general election the people
of the United Kingdom had demon
strated their unqualified fidelity to the
principles and practice of. free trade,
deems it right to record it's determine
Way Of taxation Of foreign corn or Of
the creation of general tariff upon
foreign goods, to create in this country
a system of protection. :
This resolution, which appears to
have been cunningly; devised to divide
the poor remains Of the conservative
party in parliament, carried by vote
of A74 to o. Seven unionists voted
with the government on the motion
and several others, headed by Sir Ed
ward Clarke, former attorney general
| conveniently escaped from the house
before the vote was taken. On the
fiscal question the government ap
peared to be able to hold it's immense
ajority in line, while the opposition
| was no more united in the house thar
it was at the polls.

Inexcusable Ignorance.

Betty Braden, who fills that corner
of the Minneapolis Tribune in which
mere man ordinarily finds nothing of
interest, and who is giving Beatrice
Fairfax a close run for first place in
general foolishness, has dropped for a
time her advice to the heartsick and
lovelorn, and is telling the Minneapo-
lis housekeeper what she ought to eat,
and what should and should not be
given to father and the children.
81 presume everyone of us knows,'
says Betty, "that fine white bread has
no nourishment beyond the butter with
which it is spread.'
Here is sad comment upon the
wickedness of commercial MINNEAPOLIS.
This town puts out every year some
100000 to 100000 barrels of -four,
much Of it Of the quality referred to.
We are selling to the misguided people
Of the world, who imagine it is doing
them some good, some $50,000,O0O worth
Of this sort Of stuff every year, and
they, poor people, are sending into their
alimentary canals, according to the
Tribune writer, an element lacking even
the building-up power of whitewash,
and doing them about as much good as
tho they ate putty. So long, however,
as they do not find out about it, the
mills will keep on grinding, and Min
neapolis will continue doing business.
One Of the most foolish and most
ridiculous things this country ever had
to stand against was the campaign of
some eastern manufacturers of break
fast foods, some few years ago, who,
anxious to introduce their products ex-
/, tensively, and unwilling to wait for
the recognition sure to come to them if
deserved, hit upon the plan Of making
people eat their products by telling
them that there was no nourishment in
white -four, but rather in the package
goods. In time they saw their folly
for this is a great question-one upon
which many thousands of practical men
are well informed and to which oul
government scientists have given atten
ton. 1t was supposed that all the
falsehoods put into print by these
misguided advertising boomers at that
time had lost its force, but it would ap
pear that here and there a chance ex
preston of theirs has stuck in the minG
of some specifically Informed news
paper writer, and so we find one still
coming to light once in while
That Minneapolis paper shoult
print as accepted fact, any such state
ment as that fine white bread contains
no nourishment other than the BUTTE
spread upon it, is "the limit. =

Whv Rockefeller Hides.

Some curiosity has been expressed as
to why Mr.. Rockefeller should conceal
himself SO carefully at Lakewood IN
New Jersey against process servers
from New York. The New York oepu-
ties cannot serve New York subpenas in
New Jersey, and yet he has hid himself
as carefully in New Jersey, apparently,
as he did in New York. 1t appears
from statement in the Philadelphia
North American that what Mr.. Rookie
Teller is lodging is process server
from the United States court for his
appearance to testify in case brought
by French oil refining firm against the
Pennsylvania railroad. The railroad is
accused of having granted a rebate to
the Standard Oil company not only on
the oil shipped by the Standard, but
also on that shipped by the French COM
pany. They want Mr.. Rockefeller to
tell about it, and he doesn't wish to.
So we have the spectacle of the richest
man in the world driven to cover, hid
ing from the processes Of the courts, de-
Tended by barricades, guards, search
lights and bolteG doors for fear he may
be obliged to go into court and submit
to cross-examination as to his business
methods. Mr.. Rockefeller is doing all
that is necessary to strengthen the pre-
vailirg opinion that he has obtained his
wealth by dishonorable means and that
he is deserving Of the 0iS6aVOr the CON
tempt in which he is held by his fellow
citizens despite his great wealth.

that it will have the county.
Mr.. Cory has long been prominent III
South Dakota. He was born IN WIS
consin and was reared on farm and re-
eeivea a common scboos eaaeaslon.
and some time before he was OF age he
taught school in that state. When he
reached his majority in 1880 he moved
to South Dakota He became an editor
and publisher, first at Brookings and
then at Redfeld, where he edited the
Journal for nine years. He represented
Sphinx county in the state senate IN
1891. In 1893 he moved to this city to
take the editorship Of the Daily Public
Opinion. He became postmaster here
April l, 1898, and still holds the place.
Mr.. Mclaughlin will soon have been
eight years in the service of the county,
four years as deputy auditor and as
many as auditor. He came to South Da-
kota from Beaver Dam. Wis. and filed
upon homestead On the Sisseton and
Wahpeton Indian reservation. This
good record in office and his friends
vouch for his qualifications for the state
office to which he aspires.
There is a bitter fight for postmaster
of WATERFOWL to succeed Mr.. Cory and
some of the partizans assert that it will
be helpful to the campaign Of the in
surgents. Charles Neill, state senator.
is said to have the Endorsements of the
members of the state machine for the
appointment, while citizens generally
want either G.. B. Williamson or Thomas
; Wiley. For some reason or other, per-
! haps because he has been in office for
six years, four years as sheriff and two
years as senator, Mr.. Neill is hard
fought at home for the postmastership.
Some of his opponents assert that if the
! state delegation were to appoint him at
! this juncture the county would go insur-
| gent by large majority If the ap.
pointment is not made soon the insur-
gents will contend that the mind of the
! machine leaders is made up and that the
naming of Mr.. Neill is simply being de-
ferred until the prostate convention
campaign is out of the way. In this
manner they hope to turn some votes to
! their cause. Edwin C. Torrey.

New York state education department,
Melvil Dewey, director. contains the three
annual legislation bulletins issued by the
state library The first of these IS
digest of governors messages. including
related topics in the presidents message.
Important recommendations are briefly
digested and topically arranged so that
the trend Of executive recommendation
on current problems may be- easily ascer-
tanned The second bulletin is the index
of legislation. briefly indexing or sum-
marking 2,19O laws and constitutional
amendments. This and the preceding bull
letin are classified in the same way so
that reference from one to the other Is
facilitated. The third bulletin Is a re-
view OF legislation made UP of the contr1-
buttons of forty specialists from all parts
of the. country. each reviewing the years
progress in his particular field.
Notable articles are those Of DR.. G. E.

Some tirme, ago the Young Mems Con
ganized. AS its name indicates, its
chief tenet is opposition to the idea
that Watertown can longer be side
tracked and satisfied by state office.
It's members are said to be under pledge
to oppose any man who limits his ambi-
tion to place on the state ticket and
asks for the suffrages of the citizens.
Tt is a place in congress or nothing with
this club and many other citizens.
Frank J. Cory, the present postmas-
ter Of Watertown and one of the editors
of its daily paper, Public Opinion. is
being supported for the republican
nomination for seat in congress. He
did not seek the office or leadership in
responsibility upon petition, which
was largely signed. being addressed to
him. Among those who are said to
have signed the petition was J. D.
Mclaughlin. who later responded to the
request of the Roosevelt league and an
nounced his candidacy for the repub-
lican nomination for commissioner of
school and public lands.
The situation in this county has re-
solved itself into a fight between ma
chine republicans so-called and insur-

Another American Triumph.

The impasse at Algeciras appears to
have been gotten around by the deft
ness in diplomacy of the American
delegates acting in direct communica-
ton with the president and Secretary
Root. The only live question remain
ing at Algeciras was the policing Of
Morocco s frontier. France claimed as
a neighbor in Algiers a special terri
torial position and demanded the direc.
ton Of the police department. Ger
many resisted this and made counter
proposition of an international police
system. This, it was evident, would
merely make more chances for friction
between France and Germany, and the
delegates were loath to enter upon the
dangerous experiment. The Austrian
delegates suggested a joint force cap
tanned by French and Spanish officers.
This looked to Germany very much
like a French force in disguise, anil
was rejected by her representatives.
The American delegates came forward
with proposal for the creation of an
inspector who should report both to
the sultn of Morocco and the diplo-
matte corps at Tangier. This sugges-
ton has apparently been accepted by
both Germany and France. 1t gives
France the first hand control Of the
police, but it, makes ample provision
for protection Of German interests in
case the Spanish French police force
should try any tricks. .
The United States entered the con
ference as one Of the signatory powers
of the treaty Of 1880, but not without
some mutterings from the anti-imperial
list wing Of American politics. TIL,
United States, they claimed, had nj
business there and was merely making
trouble for itself and taking chances
of a foreign embodiment. The presi
dent was, however, clear that there wa:
an open-door question involved, and h
sent delegates to the conference to lool
after that. The fact that they hav'
| been able incidentally to. make sugges
tions that relieved the uncomfortahl
| tension between two great European
J powers is altogether creditable to then

Watertown, S. D., March 26.-Wanted
"a congressman. Address Citizens of
Watertown and Codington county
Many citizens of WatertoWn have
united in a movement for member OF
congress and make the frank statement
that the campaign will never be given
over until they succeed. The city and
the county have had state Offices from
the beginning. The first governor of
the state, A. C. Mellette, was Water
town man. Some thirteen employees OF
the state are at present credited to
COdlngtOn county.
While the county has probably had
it's share of the state patronage, 1t has
never had member Of congress. The
state plums were helpful to individuals,
but the people at large were not bene-
flied. Watertown remembers that Sioux

The Life Tenure Of the Federal
Bench.

A Washington dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun goes little farther than any
thing else we have seen in print in dis
cussing the recent decision Of the fed
eral court in the beef-trust case. 1t
suggests feeling of Indignation as
well as disappointment in Washington
at that decision. 1t indicates that no
such conclusion was anticipated, and
while under the law there appears to be
no chance for appeal, there is a very
settled opinion that the decision is
wrong. u, .' ,-.-.~ -. .-.,~..-..
This decision has brought out very
prominently the great power vested in
the federal bench. On the say-so of a
federal judge, policies and purposes un-
dertaken by the legislative and execu-
tive departments in compliance with the
popular will may be absolutely. para
lyzed. In such a case as this, involving
the guilt or innocence of the members
of the beef trust there appears to be
no appeal from the lowest order Of the
federal bench, and mistake there is
.irreparable. 1t is true that legislation
may remedy the evil in cases of this
kind; that legislation might have pro
vlded for such anpemergency, tho it has
not done so. But legislation cannot pro-
vide for all emergencies and ultimate
authority rests in the federal judiciary.
The confidence of the public has rested
in the integrity of that branch of the
government. When it is forfeited, the
very existence Of. our institutions is
severely threatened. We must be able to
believe in the courts Unless that con-
fidence is fully justified and can be
maintained, the federal judiciary will
have to be made responsible to the peo-
pie, as are the other departments, and
appointment for life, subject only to
Impeachment for malfeasance in office,
will have to be abandoned for election
by the people. -.
This would be a radical departure,
but it will surely come when the judi
ciary becomes the subject of suspicion.
Within the past year and a half three
federal judges have been compelled to
resign and suspicion has arisen with
regard to others. We may not be SO
far from the radical change just spoken
of as we think.
