The Judicial Referendum.

The dismissal of 200 veniremen,
who were presumably %prejudiced,
and the sharp rebuke administered
to the sheriff by the judge in the
Powers case are a significant hint of
where we get our final justice in
such cases. 1t is from public opinion.
So long as the Bourbons Of Kentucky
could ride the neck of Taylor and
Powers and win at the polls, they
were perfectly remorseless in their
pursuit of these men. They drove
Taylor into exile, and then tainted
him that he dared not come into
Kentucky again and be tried. They
had no intention of trying him, but
had the execution planned to a
nicely. Caleb Powers, who was not
so fortunate as to get away, has
been thrice convicted. and once was
on his way to the gallows. "A court
of appeals, which s%ingularly enough
appears to have kept itself above the
roar Of the mob when the trial courts
were swept into the maelstrom of
politics., saved him.
Today Powers is having another
trial, but under how different aus.
pices! Between the setting of the
case and its trial, there was a voting
in Kentucky and the Bourbon party
was Knocked on the head by the In
dignation of the people. 1t mas
arisen to it's knees, dazed and weak.
Like all towards, it is crying for
quarter, where it formerly shouted
for blood. It is willing that Caleb
Powers shall at last have a fair
trial.
This is not the ideal way to settle
the controversy of testimony
whether Caleb Powers killed Goebel.
But it appears to be the only way,
where there is some evidence and
more politics. The public takes
charge. of such cases and decides
them. This is the age of the refer
endum, and it is possible the people
are just as capable of saying whether
Powers is guilty or innocent, as of
saying whether this man or that
shall hold an office, or this law or
that shall be enacted.-Minneapolis

A Good Showing.

Reports OF the state bank exami-
Iner, and the national banks doing
business in South Dakota, certainly
make q good showing for the past
year. The reports cover the condi-
ftions of banks in September, 1906,
and August. 1907, practically a year,
and show that In that time the state
banks have increased from 336 to
E387, with a. heavy increase in de-
sposits. AT the last named dateSthe
state banks showed deposits amount
ing to S34,72s.62S.64, an increase Of

PUSHING WORK ON COAST LINE
Milwaukee Trains Will be Running
Into Miles City Soon.

NlllW0ukec 1T01nS Will De
Into Miles City Soon.
The announcement is made that
the rails of the Pacific coast extern
sion of the Milwaukee road will be
into Miles City, Mont, the fore part
of this week, and that in just about
ten days a train schedule between
Aberdeen and Miles City will be put
into force. This news comes as a
surprise, for 1t was understood that
the rails would not get into Miles
City for about three weeks. How
ever, the surprise is a pleasant one
to both railroad men and business
men.
Further word comes that the
trains will be running into Butte,
Mont, OF or before January rs.
Thus it will be seen that the predic-
ton made by President A. J.. Earl
ing of the Milwaukee that trains
would run into Butte by January 4
is only twenty-five, or at the most,
thirty days of.
The track-layerS are said to have
been making marvellous time. Superb

ably and they ha-a made the most

opened for business in the year.
These banks carried $2O,229,479.26,
an increase of about three million
dollars for the year, making the
total net increase in deposits in the
state for the year, $9,399,131.32, and
the total bank deposits of the peo-
pie of the state at that time $54,-
95S,107.9O. While the last census
of the state showed a population of
a half million, the increase since that
time haseprobably been sufficient to
make the bank showing at, in round
numbers, 500 for every resident of
the state, of whatever age.

Transfer Utes.

The latest reports from Cheyenne
River agency are to the effect that
the Ute Indian lease to two town
ships in the vicinity Of Thunder
Butte is declared to be ended, on
account of the refusal of the Utes
to abide by the provisions of the
lease, and that all of the Utes will
be transferred to the camp near
Rapid City, where a number Of them
are already located and working on
the Milwaukee railroad. 1t will
be a good thing for the Sioux, and
for the people of the state, If they
are never again allowed to gain a
permanent foothold in the state, but
are taken back to their reservation
as soon as their work at Rapid City
fs completed. They are trouble max
ers, and are not wanted in this state.

1t is generally agreed that the

Temporary relief has been afforded
BY the associated banks and the ma

New Naval Base ON the Pacific.

Mexico has granted to the United
States a lease on Magdalena Bay, in
Lower California, the lease to be re-
Movable indefinitely on its expira-
ton. This has been an attractive
spot for American war vessels in re
cent years, and has been used for
target practice. Its proximity to our
W California makes it a desirable
accession to the territory in that
quarter over which we have control
by n tenure and another.
Magdalena Bay will be put into
immediate use in an important way
on account of the cruise of the fleet
into the Pacific. 1t is to be fitted
up at once as a coaling station and
fortified. Mexico finds it to her In
terest to grant us this lease, for any
thing which strengthens the United
States position in the Pacific aids
every country on this continent
which touches that big e a The
Panama Canal gives the post an adj
ditional Importance for us. We need
a line of coaling stations at conven-
lent distances all along the coast
from the Straits of Magellan to
California. Admiral Evans squad
ron will have some trouble getting
coal at important points on it's COM
ing trip, although arrangements
have been made in advance which
will aid US somewhat in securing
all sorts Of supplies.
The Magdalena Bay deal is one of
the things which Secretary Root ar
ranged when he was in. Mexico a
few weeks ago. At the conference
Of Central American republics which
is now being held in Washington is
is believed that we will get other
concessions for coaling stations
which will aid US in our aim to in
crease our preponderance on the Pa
cifc. No power in Central or South:
America any longer fears that we
have imperialistic designs. Every
country on the continent knows that
anything which strengthens the
United States adds to the security
of all the rest of the hemisphere.
Magdalena Bay is a very important
outpost of the United States, and IN
leasing it to us Mexico gives us an
other proof of her friendship for us,
and tells us anew that she appreci-
ates u work as a defender of the
independence and a promoter of the
prosperity Of every republic in the

Black Hills Rates Considered High.
The following from the Minneapo-

11A0CA III 1e1VCo SOlISluOECu I1lkA1s
The following from the Minneapo-
lis Journal of recent date makes i.
evident that the commercial inter-
ests Of st. Paul and Minneapolis will
exert their best %endeavors to secure
lower freight rates over the new lines
into the Black Hills:
Shippers of st. Paul and Mime
apolis have combined in an effort to
ecure readjustment of the freight
rates adopted by the North-Wester
and the Milwaukee roads for their
new lines in South Dakota.
The shippers case will be pre-
sented at a conference with the prin-
cipa1 traffic officers OF the two rail-
road companies to be held at Chi
cago next Tuesday, at which the Min
neapolis and ST. Pail Commercial
clubs will be represented and a large
number of the individual jobbers
and manufacturers of the two cities
will be present.
The Twin City shippers say that
the rates from these points into
South Dakota are grossly unfair as
compared with those granted other
markets such as Chicago, Omaha,
Sioux City and Kansas City, and they
are determined that there shall be
a change.
This question has been under con-
sideration for some time in the COM
mercial clubs and among the business
mensof the Twin Cities. The demand
that will be presented to the railroad
companies has been carefully pre-
pared in specific form.

large numbers under enlistment,
But since life in the army was life
in the army, whether at home or
abroad, the Philippines as an end for
enlistment lost strength with the
Philippines as a field for civil life,
or with any Of the nearer places
where men car work and enjoy 1t.
The pay, also, has been noticeably
larger in civil life, so that the SOL
der with $13 a month was not in it
with the civilian with $50 a week in
the eyes of not fifty but one single
"'ousemaid out of Chelsea" In the
aftermath of the panic pay will de-;
crease in civil life and opportunities
will decrease so that the army may
fill its quota Of men in the next year.
The panic may heal many things
which prosperity left gaping.
While no right thinking person de-
sires wal with Japan, such an event
would bring military patriotism to
the very front of public interest,
would result In filling the West Point
cadet corps now some sixty short,
would restore to the army those Of
ficers who have been lured into busi-
ness service on account OF higher pay,
and would bring the army up to
standard without CONSUMPTION. Ger
tainly we shall never tolerate this
latter, and the army officer who dis
%cusses It favorably simply proves
himself not an American, but only
a military man. There Is no ques-
tion that wal would bring out a large
army of fighting men, would could
be trained, such is the adaptability
Of the breed, in a very short time.
Not so with the oficera, and this Is
the real problem, which will grow
more acute unless army training be-
comes a part of the general college
curriculum to a much greater extent,
to such an extent in fact as to dis
pute place with athletics.
The alternative to the restorative
measure, war, is a counter measure,
peace. Boys and young men, besides
being naturally savages and fighters,
are idealists. And today the ideal
EEEL
that fills their minds is not war but
peace. The peace conferences and
congresses that meet in such aston
ishing numbers have resulted, II not
in advancing peace for the nations,
in advancing peace with the individ-
ual. And one of the first fruits no
doubt is In a lessened desire for mil
itary service. 1t Is difficult to per-
suade the idealist, 1t is impossible to
persuade the young idealist, that the
best way to conserve peace is to pre-
pare for war. He does not 10 OBJ
jectify his ideal. This adds to the
seriousness of the problem, when
other countries simply draft their
young idealists into the army. But
America has a way of making her
ideals finally accepted, and a more
definite way inventing war preven-
tives. Let the American invent or
perfect the war balloon and construct
an aerial navy, and the idealist may
have his way.-St. Paul Dispatch.
