1.-THE way of the transgressor is
hard" has been verified again in the
life OF Bill Jones of Arizona. Some
years ago he was sent TO prison for
stealing horses. He served his time.
When the Rough Riders made their
famous charge up San Juan hill,
Bill Jones, ex-convict, was in the
van. Recently President Roosevelt
had occasion 60 appoint aU. s. marshal
for Arizona. He thought of the big,
rugged Bill Jones because he knew his
metal, so Bill Jones was named for
the vacancy. Any man in that famous
charge up San Juan hill was enough
OF an American citizen to serve as
marshal, SO thought Roosevelt. Not
so with the Arizonans. 1--WE won't
have an ex-convict marshal and Bill
Jones is an ex-convict." Influence was

a little nearer the official crib. With
Crawford for governor and Hall for
congress, these demo-pops who had
contributed to such u republican dis
aster, would claim all the patronage In
sight as we'll as the credit for their

have time TO reflect on the folly of
listening to false political gods and on
the political jobbery coneoctea under
the guise of reform. 1t is best for re-
publicans to stop and consider before

Last week the supreme court OF the
United States handed down a decision
in the Western Paper Trust cases
which the assistant attorney general Is
reported as saying was the most Inn.
portaut decision to the government
that has been handed down In twenty
five years." To newspaper men and
all dealers In paper the case has q
direct interest, but the law points in
volved and decided are OF general inn
portance in all corporation and trust
The larger portion OF the Minnesota
and Wisconsin paper mills formed a
trust a number of years ago which Is
officially known as the General
Paper Co. Prices on paper we're soon
afterwards sharply advanced and rigid
ly maintained. In December, 1904,
suit was commenced in the circuit
court for the district OF Minnesota un-
der the Sherman antitrust law, charg-
ing these companies with forming con,
tracts and combinations In restraint
of trade. The Wisconsin cases were
dismissed FOR want OF jurisdiction,
although the testimony reviewed by
the supreme court was taken before an
examiner in Milwaukee last May.
This decision, il is believed, will have
an important bearing in nearly all
future corporation suits, even in the
pending action against railroads for
combinations and violations Of law
through rebates and other special
favors.
Ia Substance she decision Is TO the
effect that the fifth amendment to the
constitution. which provides that no
person shall be compelled in crimi-
nal case TO be witness against himself,
does not apply to corporation; that
a corporation has not the right to
secrecy like an individual; that every
government creating a corporation has
a right to inspect the latter's books
and papers and to find whetherit has
violated the law of its creation, and in

Now tote fair, gentlemen. Admit
we are up against condition never
known before, and, good or bad, we
have 10 meet it. It will do no good to
single out the farming class or any
other class. and say they are running
the towns and merchants. The tele-
phone Is here and at the farmers door;
the rural delivery is here and at his
door, and there to stay; all kinds Of
fast freight and cheap freight is here,
and in spite OF all the combines to fight
1t, the parcel post will soon be here,
and postal savings banks with 1t.
The producer and consumer have every
facility for dealing direct with each
other, and all the combinations OF
earth cannot compel them right or
wrong--to support a great and costly
middle class between them. There
will be fewer stores, but great big Ones
with large assortments and low prices.
Small towns will not grow much, but
the great body OF our people will be
more wholesomely located on small in
dependent farm houses, with nearly
all the advantages Of the city at
their door. The people will be safer
and the nation will be safer than with
big towns and thinly settled country
These great changes are coming as
surely as the sun rises ard sets, like il
or dislike it as we will, and the only
rock OF refuge we can see for those
whom this inevitable change is just
now hitting hard, is piece of land -au
independent, self supporting, farm
home - The Dakota Farmer.

Official County Paper.

The state political game is waxing
warmer each day, and the Press, which
has assumed the leadership OF the in
surgents, has been bold in defining its
position. Recent articles also, meant
to reflect on Senator Klttredge, have
justified republicans in feeling certain
that the animating power behind the
Press, is the personal animus of ex-
Senator Pettigrew towards the man
who handled the republican campaign
in 1900 and helped to defeat the sena-
tors aspirations for further service in
the senate. This knowledge will not
help in pulling republicans away from
the organization to support another,
headed, ostensibly, by disappointed
Office seekers, but in reality by Petit
grew. .-Si0u1 Fails Forum.

that Elk Point is one of the very few
South Dakota cities organized under a
special charter granted many years
before the present law for the organiza-
tion of cities went into effect. 1t is
held by the city attorney and many
others that neither this law, the Aus
tralian ballot law, nor the ''honest
caucus" law modifes the original
special charter which is still in full
force and effect in this city. We be-
lieve this position is the only tenable
one and until the requirements of the
old charter are in some way modified
or repealed Elk Point city will likely
govern itself in accordance with their
provisions.

is bound that Bill Jones shall be Bill

JUSTICE MISCARRIES.
Hiram Powers Transferred Il
Asylum BY Penitentiary
Officials.

Hiram c. Powers. who was tried
for the murder of Fitzhugh Rem
frow in the Circuit Court here last
August and sentenced to twentv-one
years in the State prison. was taken to
the Eddyville penitentiary last Friday
by Sheriff X. b. Martin and turned
over to the proper authorities.
Immediately after Sheriff Martin
had turned Powers over to the pris-
on officials and taken their receipt
for him, deputy Sheriff executed
a lunacy warrant on Powers and an
inquest into his sanity was held the
following day. Saturday. A jury of
Lyon county citizens was empannel-
ed and after hearing the evidence
offered by attorneys representing
Powers. verdict 20 the effect that
he is Of unsound mind was returned
Powers was later transferred to the
Hopkinsville asylum, where he will
probably become a pet of the officials
in charge who is reported to have
done much to defeat the ends of JUS
tice in the matter.
1t is tn. general opinion that
Powers will remain quietly at Hop
kinsville for a few short months
then like Warrener, the murderer of
Pulaski Leeds, steal gently away,
never to be heard of again, while
poor Fitxhugh Renfrow yet sleeps
the long sleep of death to which
Powers resigned him on the 3lst day
of March, 1905.
