FoRAKER AND TAFT.
Secretary of War Responsible for the
 Breach Between the Two.

Soon after the Taft candidacy was announced an effort was made to rec oncile the differences between the See. retary of War and the Ohio senator. Senator Crane of Massachusetts, ap- peared in the usual role of mediator and peacemaker. He came to Secre- tary Taft presumably with full author ity from Senator Foraker, making over lures of peace. Mir Crane s proposal was that the two men should bury the hatchet, and that while Senator Foraker would do nothing in Ohio to oppose Mr. Taft s candidacy, the Secretary of War s friends in the state would unite with the Dick-Foraker machine in se- curing for Mir. Foraker reelection to the senate.
 When President Roosevelt heard of this plan he favored it. Straightfor- ward bluff. Mir. Taft is too honest to be good politician. He refused to acccde to any peace pact. He said that he was not opposed to Foraker, the man, so much as to Mir. Foraker's principles; that he did not agree with Mir. For. lker' views on public questions; that they were essentially antagonistic in public matters, and that he would not make an alliance for the sake of his own personal preferment with a man who stood for principles which he (Taft) did not believe in.
 It is within the definite knowledge Of your correspondent that Mir. Taft "blew up" the president when he heard that Mir. Roosevelt had favored the proposed alliance. MT. Roosevelt did not exert any influence to bring the peace overtures to a successful con- elusion, and when he had heard the wig orously expressed attitude of the Sec retary of War he agreed with MT. Taft, and told him that he should by all means, do as he saw Washington Correspondence New York Post.

Need For Every Dollar.

From the western grain areas and the southern cotton belt, comes the com mon call for funds with which to start the crops moving from first hands. The team of prosperity is stalled at the foot of the hill. More shoulders at the wheel is the need of the hour. Every dollar hid away holds back what is needed elsewhere hundred times more.

ThorouuhIy Reliable,

II ever there was a reliable and safe
remedy it is that old and famous por-
Gus plaster-Allcock's. 1t has been IN
use for sixty years, and is as popular
to-day as ever, and we doubt If there
is a civilized community on the face
Of the globe where this wonderful pain
reliever cannot be found. In the selec-
ton of the ingredients and in their
manufacture the greatest care is taken
to keep each plaster upsto the highest
standard of excellence, and SO pure
and simple are the ingredients that
even a child can use them.
Allcock's are the original and gem
uine porous plasters and are sold by
Druggists all over the world.

Over $50 merchants attended the
tenth annual convention of the South
Dakota Retail Merchants association,
which met at Mitchell last week. The
importance of the meeting was aug
mented by the action Of a Chicago
catalogue house which has sought to
enjoin the association and it's officers
from participating in any effort calcu-
lated to destroy or embarrass the bust
ness OF the catalogue house. z
business men are greatly aroused over
the situation, and claim they will
stand Loyalty behind the officers to see
them through with the Ease against
them.
In the discussions that took place In
the meetings il was the aim to temper
the remarks so that they would not
embarrass the officers.
The address of welcome was deliV-
cred by Mayor o. l.. Branson and the
was given by p. F. Wickham
of Alexandria. President Grimm ap-
pointed the members of the i've CON-
mittees. The convention was the most
important of any ever held by the as
sociation. The second days session
was devoted mostly to an executive
meeting. In the evening the dele-
gates were entertained at a o In
the club rooms of the Commercial

For Trial in Similar Regions
in the Northwest. The United States
department of agriculture has directed
a large part of these new in~troductions
to be tested under the direction of the
South Dakota experiment station, anc
the state should make it possible tc
extend the work into those regions fol
which they are primarily intended
The recent discoveries in plant breed
ing also make it good public policy tc
extend the agricultural experiment
work into the regions of thi:
state. The rapid increase in popula
ton makes it imperative for the State
OF South Dakota to do its share II
promoting dry land agriculture, which
is destined to be of the greatest eco
nomic value in developing the re
sources of this great commonwealth.
Therefore, be it resolved, That the
attention of the legislature now in ses
sion be called to the urgent necessity
now existing for the establishment o
such experiment s~ubstations, and thai
it be asked to set apart at least two
sections of land, one of which shall be
located west of the Missouri river nea,
the railway extension now being bull
west of Mobridge, and the other neal
the line of the Northwestern railway
now being extended west from Pierre

of this resolution be furnished to the

be requested to prepare and Introduce

the recommendations herein made"

are getting to the front with the bills
which they desire to have enacted,
one of them being Ellerman's bill in

900.
Another bill has been introduced by
Hare of Pennington, who wants all
bills of sale of live stock to be ac-
knowledged before a proper certifying
officer, the intention of the bill being
to prevent the giving of bills of sale
for stolen live stock.
The fee bill for the office of secre-
tary of state, which was introduced by
Foncannon. is in line with the recon-
mendations of Secretary Wipf in his
annual report. The fees for filing ar
ticles of incorporation, for domestic
corporations or for examination and
filing articles of foreign corporations
range from $40 for corporations Win
a capital of $4,000 and under to go
for corporations with a capital OF from
$50, 900 to $100, 600, with an additional
81 for each 100000 over the last
named amount. All fees generally for
the department are increased. AT the
rate in which corporations are being
filed under the laws of this state the
increased fees will bring a decided in

ASK FOR FARMS FOR EXPERIMENT
State Board OF Regents Of Education Urge Need of T akine Up
Dry Land Problems.

AT the recent meeting of the board
OF regents of education, held in Pierre,
the board adopted the following reso-
luton in regard 10 arid land expert
ments:
The newer regions of the North
west presents numerous problems in
dry a agriculture. This causes an
imperative demand for more work
along experimental lines. Carefully
conducted experiments save much un-
necessary loss of time and money to
those who go into these regions TO
make new homes, and to develop the
agricultural resources.
ITO assist in the solution of prob.
lens in dry land agriculture, a series
or chain of far western experiment
stations has been established in every
state from Texas north to Canada,
with the exception of South Dakota.
I'm South Dakota, the experiment
station at Highmore has done and is
doing a great and highly important
work in testing forage plants and
cereals for the upland prairie region
between the James and Missouri riv-
ers.
within the last two years the open
ing up to settlement of the immense
tracts of land lying west from the Mis-
souri, river and the extension OF the
farming belt into this undeveloped sec
ton makes it highly advisable to fol
low the example of our sister states,
and establish at least two new trial
! stations, one for the northern and one
for the central portion of this section.
The railways now building west from
| Evarts and Pierre will make access
| easy to these proposed stations.
Section for Each Station.
"The stations should consist of one
section Of land each, and the sites
should be selected by a committee
from the agricultural experiment sta
ton at Brookings, appointed by the
regents Of education, the choice to be
/ approved by them and confirmed by
the proper authorities. These sub
stations should be under the manage
F.! ment and control of the experiment
station at Brookings, bu II is heceS-
sary that the state provide funds for
their maintenance. An initial appro-
! priation of at least $500 is required
for each station, with $4,000 for each
| year thereafter.
( 1.-THE United States department OF
| agriculture already has co-operated in
| the tests without irrigation at High

| irrigation at Belle Fourche. A small
appropriation for further extension OIL

WITH THE LAWMAKERS
Work Accomplished by the State Legislators.

The same committee reported favor
ably on the resolution for the election
of United States senators by popular
vote, after amending it to a demand
for a constitutional convention for
that purpose.
The Kleinsasser resolution for post
age went down with but a murmur of
dissent to its death.
The first house bills passed in the
house were to turn the fees in the
state land sales from the state general
fund to the local road fund, and pro-
viding a method of the issuance of
state patents to lands.
In the senate the anti-pass bill pro-
duced a furry, and immediate action
was opposed by Senators Dudley and
Sweeney, who were voted down, and
the committee report with the emer-
gency clause attached was adopted, 25
to 20.
The anti-cigarette bill, introduced by
Senator Massey, provides penalties for
dealers or individuals having cigar
cites or the "makins" in thoir posses
sion and attempts to wipe out the
cigarette evil from the state. This is
the first Of the reform bills which the
women's lobby is pushing for its part
of the work this session.
The county local option bill, which
was prepared by the state anti-saloon
league, is a radical measure, and car
ries with 1t an opportunity for any one
who so desires to spring an election an
the question at any time by petition.
In the house, the school lands com
mittee reported favorably on a bill to
give to road districts in which sale has
been made, the fees for sale of school
lands, which now go into the state gen.
eral fund.
