President Approves Martins Bill.


Representative Martin of South Da-
kota had long conference with the
President this afternoon about his bill
to compel corporations during an inter-
state business in food and fuel articles
to procure franchise from the Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor.
The President has been interested in
this measure for some time, but after
having its details and objects thorough
ly explained TO him today by Mr.. Mar
tin he expressed himself heartily in ia.
vor of the purposes of the bill. The
President stated that there would neces.
sarlly be some amendments, perhaps
but that he felt law of that character
would accomplish much good.
The antitrust laws" said Mr.. Mar
tin, "are very strong against monopoly
in interstate commerce, but the diff
Guilty is that the big corporations evade
the statutes, and the government is lefl
to investigations and criminal prosecu'
tions as it is now pursuing against the
beef trust in Chicago.
"The purpose of my bill is to require
corporations doing an interstate bust
ness in food and fuel supplies, which
would embrace meat, cereals, sugar. coal
oil, etc, to procure a license or franchise
from the Secretary of Commerce anC
Labor as the basis of their right to d.

and EDUCATIONAL NOTES

EDITED BY LILLIAN SMITH.
! Lavisa Sheehan has resumed her work
in the fifth grade.
Hazel Bailey is absent from the High
School on account of sickness.
Helen Smith of the sixth grade still
ranks first in composition work.
Margaret McDuHee, Eleanor Wright
and Daniel burst were absent last week
from Room Ill
Feay Smith was absent few days on
account Of sickness but Feay is very
prompt in attendance.
Herbert Heidepriem, Alice Tubbs and
| Annie konrad missed few days of
school last week on account of sickness.
Owing to the deep snow lately, many
of the pupils of the school have been
obliged to bring their dinners. We
wonder where the man is who used to
shovel paths for the boys and girls.
A debate will be held in the High
School Friday, March is. The question
for debate is, Resolved, that it is good
government for the United States TO
maintain a standing army greater than
is actually necessary to enforce the laws
Of the country"
"A community which has in its midst
properly conducted High School has
secured for itself an institution exerting
most powerful influence for good and
righteousness. A High School which
allows low standing of scholarship
lax discipline, idleness and wastefulness
is menace to the community fostering
it, and is in defiance of the ideals which
our public school system aims at. TIE
first type of school is worth more than
it ever costs; the second type is not
worth anything" Supt. r. o. Small in

Second Fire at Sturgis.

Benevolent Hall, a two-story brick
structure in Sturgis, was destroyed by
fire at an early hour Monday morning.
The building was one of the finest in the
city and cost over forty thousand dol
lars. 1t was built by the Masons and
was used by the various lodges Of the
town. Besides the lodge rooms in the
upper story large dry goods store and
a bowling alley occupied the lower floor
The store belonging to Louis Carliss was
a total loss but was fully covered by in.
surance. The building is not considered
complete loss as the walls are appar.
emily little harmed.
The origin of the fire is not known
1t seemed to have started in the base
ment under the store. There was 8
great amount of rubbish and dry good,
boxes here but no stove, and just how il
started can only be conjectured.
This is the second destructive fire for
Sturgis within the last month. The
building was probably the best in tn;
city and is serious loss to Sturgis.

Ogden MIL is Destroyed.

Just when it had begun to demon
strate the success of It's method of treat
ing ores by the electro-chemical plate
process, the mill Of the Superior Chemi-
cal company, situated in the first ward
on the southeast side Of the creek, was
burned TO the ground late last evening
by fire that it was impossible to check.
The mill was said to be valued at nearly
$4,000, it's original cost being $4,000
with nearly $1,000 worth of improve
ments. The known insurance is $4,000.
The following statement of the origin
of the fire was given by Armstrong !:

The Ogden mill, the invention and

erected as test plant to treat the ores
of numerous mines by the electrical
plate method Months of the hardest
kind of labor had been put into it by
DIR. Ogden and his associates and only
last week test run on some ore from
the Globe mine proved so successful
that the hopes Of all for the mill were
of the brightest nature. Owing to its
originality, mining men all over the
country were vastly interested in the
experiment and consequently elated

that the mill will be built permanently

Where Kittredge Stands.

The insurgent press of the state that
has been trying to make such an ado
about what Senator kittredge was going
TO do about the rate bill must have had
all the wind taken out OF their sails
when they heard what he really was GO
ing to do. The difference between SEN
ator kittredge and some of his critics Is
that he does things rather than talk
about what he is going to do or what he
does. After he had considered the rate
bill he declared
Il shall vote for the house rate bill.
Today | shall introduce in the senate
amendments to the bill extending its
provisions to apply to private car lines
and sleeping car companies. An exam
ination of the house bill reported to the
senate Monday has convinced me that
such companies are not affected by the
proposed measure and that it should in
cIude such companies, in my opinion,

ments, if adopted will accomplish this
aud they will be urged to the limlt OF
my ability. 1t is notorious that rebates
and determinations of the most ttagrant
sort by means OF private car lines have
thrived under the existing law and they
should be placed under the control o.
the interstate commerce commission
precisely as are railway companies and
other carriers Other amendments viii
doubtless be presented before the vote
is taken. These will receive my careful
consideration and if they strengthen th'
bill, will receive my vote; otherwise
they will not. These conclusions have
been reached after a careful examina
ton of the presidents message, the evi
deuce presented TO the committees o
the senate and house, existing laws, the
decisions of the court, the house bill lanc
the representatives of committees"
