1t is probably safe to say that a
careful and discriminating review or
the business transacted by congress at
its short session, would compel the ad-
mission that this three months ses-
sion was productive of more important
business than has emanated from the
federal legislative body at any pre-
vious short session in recent years.
The chief features of the session
may be summarized as follows
The development of distinctively
new and important policies in federal
appropriations.
The passage of the immigration bill
and the bill relating to appeals by the
government in criminal cases.
The resolution relative to the
Brownsville episode and the resulting
debate thereon, with respect to the in
fiuence of that debate upon the dis
cussion of the race question in and out
of congress.
While these features of the session
stand out in bold relief, there are many
other matters which will challenge the
attention of the country as being or
far reaching magnitude and impor-
tance.
bills passed within the ninety days OF
the session, it should be said that in
no previous session has there been
crowded into these federal expense
budgets so much which makes for
wise public policy in dealing with the
public moneys. This is SO notably true
in the matter of the appropriations for
rivers and harbors that the subject de
mands more than passing comment.
The policy outlined i'll the river and
harbor appropriation bill of this year is
to complete dozen or more OF the
largest projects in the international
improvements, and to put in the way
of early completion other projects
upon which a vast sum of money has
been expended during the past quar-
ter of a century. All the harbor prof.
ects on the Atlantic seaboard. furnish
ing accommodations to the great for
eign and coastwiSe shipping, are now
in fair way to be completed within
short time.
Projects on the Great Lakes and on
the Mississippi and its tributaries are
so provided for in the bill Of this year
that assurance is given OF the compile
ton within a short time of a vast in
ternal waterway system connecting
the upper sections of the Northwest
with the gulf, and bringing the country
tributary to the Mississippi valley in
closer touch with that great artery OF
commerce which flows through the fat
valleys of the Middle West.
The full scope of the important
works accomplished by the river and
harbor legislation, with respect to the
harbors and rivers of the entire coun-
try, and the new policy of bringing to
speedy completion the most important
projects. are certain to make for ma
terial development of the commerce
and industry of the entire country.

Most of the old saws have lost Their
teeth.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1907-03-08

In the details of other appropriation
bills policies are put into workable
shape which are soon to plant the I'M
preston of federal laws upon COM
merce and industry. This is partlcu-
larlv true in the matter of the details

with it's provisions for increased IN
spection of food products, with Its
addition of plans for grain standards
and inspection. and throwing around
The trade of the country safeguards 10
prevent injury from the influences OF
frauds and authorizations.
There are features of the postomce
supply bill, also, which are certain TO
prove of special value to the people,
at least in the direction of pointing the
ways to betterments to come. The mall
delivery system. SO important to the
people everywhere, is to be encour-
aged through more liberal compensa-
tion of carriers, whether in the rural
districts. in the cities or on the rail-
roads. With respect to the railway
carriage however, the increased cost
is incurred in paying the postal CLERKS,
and a elimination of the aggregate eX-
pense of mail carriage is secured by
changes in the railway mail pay.

In the senate prOtracted debate
was brought about over the race prob
lem. incident to the passage of the
resolution of inquiry into the Browns
Vile matter Whatever may be the re-
suit of that inquiry, it is not too much
to say that the debate on the whole
question contributed more than any
other single influence that has been in
operation for many years to show up
how much of cheap and frothy dema-
poev has been indulged in by agitators
who have sought to profit by keeping
alive the animosities engendered by
race differences in the South and
throughout the country.
It was clearly shown during the de-
hate that the race problem has been
grossly exaggerated; that there is no
call for The violent harangues which
have been projected into the senate
and out among the people by agitators
who have painted the evils which have
grown out of race differences III the
South in TOO vivid colors. 1t will be
more difficult in the future for the agl-
tators to obtain public attention.
In the meanwhile the people will
quietly and mefhodically pursue their
way in efforts TO find solution Of the
real problems involved In the so-called
race question.

Among the other measures passed by
congress at this session is the curren-

INNOCENT RYsTANDER
GOT HIT THREE TIMES,

Vermillion, s. D., Dec. 0!-Arthur
Eldridge, SON of Mr.. and Mrs. Eldridge,
Of this city, was the victim Of a SER
lous accident at Hill City, in the Black
Hills, last Thursday evening. He re-
reived three bullets in his body, n
in each thigh and the third In his leg.
Ii is not thought he is dangerously
wounded, though one a never tell in
q case of that kind.
Eldridge is a freight conductor on
the Burlington road, and his train was
tied up at Fiji City for a short time
awaiting orders. While standing out
on the street in front of the saloon, he
heard a commotion going on inside,
and, curious to earn the trouble, start
ed into the booze dispensary. He had
barely closed the door behind him
when three shots rang out in quick
succession, and the freight conductor
proved the target for all three OF the
lcaden missiles. Two gamblers were
fighting over a game of cards and one
Of them whipped out an automatic re-
volver and began shooting, though his
aim was very poor.
Eldridge was taken at once to the
hospital at Lead, and the gambler was
arrested.

COMMISSIONER TO
TEST SOUTH DAKOTA
PURE FOOD LAW

Sioux Falls, s. D., Dec. ct now is
definitely known that Professor A. II.
Wheaton, state food and garry commits
sioner, who arrived in Sioux Falls a
day OF two ago, has had q warrant is
sued for h arrest of DR.. r. F. Brown,
Of this city, president of a local whole
sale drug company.
For q number Of weeks IL had been
rumored that a test case would be In
stituted in Sioux Falls for the purpose
of determining the validity Of what is
known as the pure TODD law, which was
enacted by the legislature last winter,
and which went into effect July l last.
Many Of the druggists of the state,
and particularly a wholesale drug
house in Sioux Falls, have wholly ig-
nored the new law and have defed the
state food and dairy commissioner to
attempt to enforce the provisions of the
law. m
The suit instituted by Professor
Wheaton against h president of the
drug company will be In the nature OF
q friendly one, and will be for the pur-
pose OF securing an early decision from
the state supreme court as to whether
or not the provisions of the law are
unconstitutional and void, as claimed
by many Of the druggists and whole
sale drug houses. nix. a.,

missioner Wheaton, II want to know II,

DETECTIVES SEARCH
FOR CROUCH LINE
TRAIN WRECKERS

Rapid City, S. D., Dec. 9.-An inves-
tigation now under way by the officials
OF the Missouri River and Northwest
ern railroad. known as the Crouch line.
is expected to show some startling re-
suits. Within the past two months the
o has had two bad wrecks, in each Of
which a life was lost, and as the cause
appeared mystIfying, some quiet de-
tective work was done. Events dur
ing the past few days strengthened
h theory that the disasters were not
by the merest chance and 1t Is now init
mated that one or more arrests may be
made within the immediate future.
The result Of the Investigations has,
1t is declared, shown positively that
both wrecks were deliberate attempts
to injure the railroad regardless Of the
injury or death thai might be caused
to the passengers. According to the
statement of n of the officials of the
road, someone whom they have yet to
discover, is seeking to hurt the road
on every possible occasion. The latest
incident mentioned is the burning Of a
locomotive that had broken down mid
way between this city and Mystic, and
was left over night by the crew. All
h woodwork OF the engine was ma
hciously burned off and the machinery
wrecked while the engine stood idle.

SMlTHLAND MAN IS 81.
HELD FOR MURDER
OF GIRL H~OMESTEADER

Pierre, s. D.. Dec. 6.-InVestiEation
OF the murder south Of Fort Pierre re-
Veals a tangling of anne The vic
tim was Katherine S. Kille, and her
former home was a. Luverne, Mimi.
The man suspected of the crime is +.
A. Bowen. While 1t was first stated
that she was killed by having her
head crushed, the physicians exam
ination at the inquest shows that
death was caused from a pistol shot,
the ball entering her head just back of
n ear. No revolver has been found,
but Bowen was arrested at a point
about seven miles from where the
crime was committed, and if he did
the shooting he had plenty Of chance
to dispose of the revolver. While that
is lacking it is claimed the state is in
possession of other evidence which will
show strongly against Bowen at the
proper time.
The coroner's jury at Fort Pierre
brought in q finding in which 1t held
that Katherine Kille came to her death
from a pistol shot wound in the hands
of Aurelius Bowen. Bowen will be
given a hearing today. He came to
this part of the country from Smith
land, Ia, n was holding a claim near

killed.
Bowen is said to have paid unwel.
