The Sioux Falls Press in speaking
of the Kittredge-Taft insult to Gov,
ernor Crawford, Senator Gamble,
Chairman Cook and others says:
ga person who was within the hear.
ing of some ofthe leaders of the South
Dakota machine faction during the
period of the Taft excitement in Sioux
Falls tells The Press that the man
agement was g%rievously disappointed
over the failure of well matured plans
to use Mr.. Taft to boost the cause of
the machine.
Up to the instant that q or more
of the banquets to which the secre-
tary had been exposed refused to yield
to the digestive processes that per-
form their functions in the normal
stomach everything was moving along
encouragingly. But from the mo-
ment when the guest became an inva-
lid, programs and plans fell into piec-
es and it looked as though a higher
power had interposed to confuse the
enemies of progressive republicanism.
Political manipulation yielded to
physical conditions and an intended
elaborate exhibition in several poses
of the next friend of the president as
the boon companion of the enemy of
the presidents policies dwindled to a
solemn Sunday morning breakfast with
none of the inspiriting fireworks that
had been arranged to illuminate the
scene.
The breakfast, however, gave the
senator one little opportunity to ex-
hibit his mettle. No insurgent was
invited to sit with the secretary dur
ing the progress of that repast. The
governor of the state and the other
United States senator found seats in
another portion of the dining hall and
the chairman of the state republican
committee received no recognition
from the politicians who held Mr..
Taft in their custody.
1t was the only chance to snub the
enemy that the occasion afforded and
it was used for all there was in it.
Had the program been carried out to.
the end, there might have been other
opportunities equally as good for a dis
play of the rancor that prompted the
exclusiveness of the breakfast, but
that is mere conjecture.
The governor of the state came here
to welcome the secretary of war;, on
the invitation of the secretary to &C
company him to the military post in
the Black Hills. The ethics of Off
cial and social intercourse demanded
the recognition that was denied by
Senator Kittredge, the master of GER
emonieS. In a state breakfast, the
governor of the state was entitled to
a place of honor, and the other sena-
tor also.
The snub that was administered
gives emphasis to the bitterness of
the conflict that RACES in the repub-
lican party.

tors of the United States. has made q
brilliant success on the platform. He

ability and power o. expression he is
superior to either Of these talented
lecturers We are confident that DR..
Lee is one of the strongest men on the
program. Do not miss hearing him.

Hon. Arthur K. Peck.

Most of us have been somewhere and
some have been many places but very
few can tell about it in a way to capti-
vate the hearers. This is an art Of
which nature has been choice. Hon.
Arthur X. Peck, OF Boston. Mass. has
1T to an unusual degree and has sub
jects Of keen interest. One Of the
best of these is the U. S. Life Saving
Service. and his lecture is supple
mented by that delight Of modern
days. which shows everything in
actual operation-the moving pic
ture. The whole story is a fascinating.
thrilling NARRATIVES; and the illustra-
lions both from a Photographic and
artistic standpoint are really wonder
full.

Prof. J. L. Lardner.

1t is not often that one man makes a
success of more than one line OF work,
but we find in Prof. j. L. Lardner a dra-
matte reader and impersonator who is
equally at homef in humorous and pathet-
ic readings. He is known to a great
many South Dakota people. and has al
ways been a favorite among our people.
For him to be natural in his comedy,is to
convulse an audience with laughter.
From the sunshine Of life to it's shadows
the transition is soquick that tears come
while laughter fingers.

mentS. and she has scored with mark
ed success in her interpretative read
ings. b has a rare insight. and a
personality that pleases and captures
an audience the minute she appears on

rank.

Ross Crane

Human language is not the only means OF conveying ideas
nor always the most effective. The cartoonist is often as pow
erful as the orator. Mast. with his telling cartoons, was Of i'm
mense help to Lincoln in the dark dark days Of the rebellion.
The crayon and the pencil speak with great clearness in
talent to use them. OF this number probably there is no great
er in America than Ross Crane. He stands at the TOP. He
handles chalk with vigor and effectiveness. With a few chunks
of mud he moulds with the swift magic of his hands the faces
Of men whom nations love.
Musical instruments may also be made to express as clear
1y as the voice all the emotions of the heart. Crane plays the
piano with rare expression and his mOnologues on it are irrest-
IDLY funny and convulse his audience with laughter.
And the piano stool-we must not forget and omit that.
1t. though inanimate. plays an important part in the enter
tainment.

SENATOR FRED T.. DUBOIS.

1t is with great pleasure that the man
agement presents Senator Fred T.. Du-
bois of Idaho. as speaker for July 6.
Senator Dubois is recognized as one of
the most earnest and contentious public
men our country has. He is considered
one of the greatest orators with one of
the greatest messages before the Ameri-
can public. His lecture will reveal to us
the real conditions Of M~ormonism as they
exist today, and 1t Should be heard by all
who can possibly be present. and who
are interested in the IN of our country
and our homes.

REMAINS NOT DISTURBED.
3 bodies Of Votaire and Rosseau Not
Disnterred by Churehmen.

PARIS, Feb. l6.--The recent action
Of the government In commissioning
Bartholeme and Segoffin to execute
statues of Rosseau and Voltaire for the
Pantheon. recalls vividly the dramatic
episode Of few years ago when the
tonbs were opened. 1t had been IA
mooted question among historians OF
the period Of the revolution ana the
first empire whether their bodies had
been exhumed by the Catholics after
the restoration in 1914 and disdainful-
iy cast into the pauper's ditch. That
was the accepted popular legend
Finally the government, to set all
doubts at rest, ordered the graves
opened. This was done in the presence
of a dozen eminent authors, including
yictorien Sardou, Bartholet. Hamel
and Lenotre. To the great surprise OF
the witnesses. most of whom believed
the legend, the tombs were not empty.
The remains of Voltaire had been re-
duced to skeleton and Batholet took
up the skull and displaying 1t to those
present, said, "Messieurs, Viola la
Tete de Voltaire."
The remains Of Rosseau, on the
other hand, were found in such per-
feet state of preservation that the
life like head seemed that of man
asleep Even as the witnesses leaned
over, however. the contact with the
air accomplished it's work and the
mask fell away into impalpable dust

The newspapers in supporting the

contrast the generosity of wealthy

CARS JUMP THE TRACK.
Electric Train Wreck Brings Death
and Injury to Many.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The White
Plains and Brewster express six car
electric train on the Harlem division
of the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad, jumped the track at
a curve near the Woodlawn road in
the Bronx tonight, bringing death or
injury to probably three score passen-
gers. At GAS the police reported that
they had recovered 16 bodies from the
wreckage and there might be other
victims. OF those removed to hospi-
tails, it was said a dozen will die. The
train left the Grand Central station at
S:1S o'clock, drawn by two heavy cleo
trio motors and loaded with a matinee
crowd and commuters on their way
home from business in the city.
1t consisted of baggage and smok-
ing car and five coaches. At WOOD
lawn four tracks pass through a rocky
gorge and take sharp curve. When
the train reached the curve it was
running sixty miles an hour. Both
motors and the smoker passed around
the curve, but the other cars leftsthe
tracks and plunged over the side with
a terrific crash, tearing up the tracks
for hundred yards before they col
lapsed. Of those instantly killed by
far the greater number were women.
Sixteen were killed outright and four
others have died of injuries up to mid
night and at least fifty are more or
less seriously injured.
Many were mangled beyond recog-
milton. The most seriously Injured
were hurried to hospitals, while the
coroners took charge of the dead as

The rear car, containing more wo-
men than the others, suffered the
greatest, as 1t was overturned and
breaking off the coupling was released
from the cars ahead and was liter
ally torn to pieces and scattered for a
hundred feet The cause Of the wreck
was not officially determined tonight.
At the Grand Central station there
was an inclination to blame the acci-
dent 10 spreading rails, but later 1t
was said that 1t was believed an axle
on the first passenger coach broke.
