Grasping at everything possible
which might be construed into re-
fiecting on Senator K%ittredge. the
insurgents have used the appoint
ment of attorney Bristol as one of
the points which might serve the
purpose. When the senator objected
to the appointment Of Bristol as the
governments Attorney TO try the
land 8 IL Oregon, he did SO be-
cause ..he had evidence that the at.
tOrney had made a deal with the
other parties and against the govern
ment. The president re-appointed
Bristol and the department OF justice
directed the attention of the presi-
dent again to the record of the at
torney and this time the president
Withdrew Bristol's name from the
senate. The Bristol matter has been
discussed quite a good deal by the
1nsurgent press, but the latest atti-
tnde will not serve their purpose to
create an u%nfriendly. sentiment
against Senator Kittredge.

on the same basis, for 1T is not so
much the a as the policies which
are at stake. Inasmuch as Secretary
Taft endorses the policies and prin-
ciples of the Roosevelt administra-
tion there Is little reason for bunting
any other man to. place in the presi-
Dental chair. Mr.. Taft meets all
the requirements Of the people of the
country and there il no question but
what he has the full and hearty sup
port Of the president. The real and
honest support of the insurgents
toward the policies of the president
can now be determined by the action
they take with reference to the
candidacy of Secretary Taft.

Monday afternoon signalized the
departure Of the American fleet for
the Pacific coast, when sixteen battle
ships and their auxiliaries started on
their long cruise. In the early morn
Ing hours President Roosevelt and
his party reached Hampton Roads,
where the battleships were at anchor
and the morning and a portion Of
the afternoon was spent in a greeting
Of the officers by the president.
When everything was In readiness in
the afternoon for the departure of the
neet, President Roosevelt. AS comman-
der OF the army and Of the navy, on
hoard the Mayflower started at the
mead of the procession for a point ten
miles out, where the Mayflower stood
70 one side and the great line of
battleships passed in review of the
commander, salutinR as they passed.
The feet Is of for an extended trip,
just how far and definitely into what
waters 1t will go after reaching the
Pacific coast is a matter Of conjec-
ture. The departure Of the fleet has
occasioned considerable comment In
the foreign press concerning the
mobllizing Of the feet and starting 1t

Senator Wesley, Of washington
Springs, announces In home paper
this week that he is a candidate for
governor. The platform on which
Mr.. Wesley intends to run is some.
thing similar to Governor Crawford's
senatorial platform, and endorses
many Of the views Of President
Roosevelt. One by one are the men
coming out for tile state offices who
have been agreed upon by the insur-

The President has done all that he
can do-now that he has said that be
will not ACCEPT another nomination.
The men who have been insisting on
his taking a third term should in all
fairness give the president d rest
and not keep nagRing him on the
presidential possibility. When the
President says no be means the word
perhaps in a different light than
some other men might mean. They
world say no with a meuta! rese,-
vation-but the President does not
reserve anything in bis last state
ment.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1907-12-20

President Roosevelt has spoken on
the third term proposition. In a
statement made by the president
Wednesday afternoon he settled all
doubts as to his position on accepting
nomination at the hands Of the
republican rarity next June. The
president quoted his statement made
the night after election In 1904 and
said: II have not changed. and shall
not change the decision thus an.
n%0unced." 1t has been contended
all along by the insurgents In South
Dakota that the president could be
induced TO accept the Nomination
once more, and on that theory they
have not listened to anything else
but the idea that 1t was Roosevelt
or nothing with them. They would
mol c%0untendnce the fact that the
president had placed his hopes in
Secretary TAFT as his successor and
elIey would not utter a word that
would tend to give any hope that
they would have anything to do with
his candidacy, Notwithstanding the
Presidents evident faith Ia him to
carly out the policies Of the aclnin-
tstration. No man would be more
acceptable IN the presidential chair
during the next four years than Mr..
Roosevelt, and the people Of the
country would be GLAD indeed to
unite on him for their standard
bearer, but when tile executive
absolutely declares that be will stand
BY his statement Of three years ago,
and refuses to counteannce another
nomination. then 1t becomes the
duty Of the people to make another
choice. Next to the president the
stal~arts OF this state have centered
their ambition on selecting delegates
from South Dakota VIC will stand
for the nomination OF William Fl.
Taft. With the presidents utter

lC. DUNN TRICK EXPOSED
Bill to Pervsrt soaVsngsr Law Has Mig
ger in the Wood Pile"
WOULD cHEATcTY AND COUNTY GROSSLY
Assistant City Attorney Draws the
Bill Condemned by DiGinter-
ested Parties ms Bad
Measure.

BY substituting the little word SALE"
for the little word decree" in H. r. 27l
Ignatius Jehovah Dunn assistant city at
torney, is said to have turned a trick
which IL carried to It's conclusion, would
pervert the scavenger tax law and cheat
the city out Of thousands OF dollars Of
legitimate proceeds.
Ignatius Jehovah Dunn being on the city
payroll, denies that he is trying TO cheat
the city; he says he is trying TO cheat
or beat tax sharks" Disinterested parties
say otherwise.
Considerable opposition has arisen to
H. r. 81, since Dunn turned his trick,
which is a bill to allow owners Of property
sold under the scavenger law to redeem
within two years by paying the amount Of
the sale, with interest and such subsequent
payment as taxes. This Dunn, in the
opinion Of many, would, II passed, cause
Omaha and Douglas county to lose thous-
ands OF dollars. The bill was drawn. by
Dunn and introduced by H. T. Clarke, IT,,
by request.
Tho present law provides TO redeem within
the stated period, owners must pay full
amount Of the decree with interest and
taxes paid subsequent to sale. Under this
system there is some incentive for bidding
among the tax buyers
Would Abolish Competition.
The existing law also provides that any
time within eighteen months from sale
parties may make a premium bid and there
is a clause stating that no redemption
from premium bid shall be allowed for
less than the amount of the decree, inter-
est and costs and subsequent taxes paid
The Dunn. bill provides that owners may
redeem within eighteen months by paying
actual amount paid the treasurer with in
terest at II per cent
Competition in bidding would be done
away with and the owner could make
whatever offer he wanted and take in the
property. That is the ''nigger" in the wood
pile.
In view Of the scavenger sale to be held
the first part OF May, when over l.OO
tracts will be disposed OF, 1t is deemac
highly important that this bill be killed
such men as President johnson of the city
council and County Commissioner Kennard
contend.
