w. j. Bryan is showing consider
able anxiety to be relieved of the
endorsement that he made OF govern
ment ownership of railroads on his
return flom-his foreien..trip. At
that time he vas very much enthused
over the proposition, but the idea
did not set very we'll with his demo-
cratic friends. Since then he has
been trying to unload the idea, as
he finds it more or less embarrassing
as the presidential campaign is
drawing nearer and his idea is not
getting any more favorable consider
alton now than it did at the Start.
The press of the country, however,
is continually reminding Mr.. Bryan
of his famous introduction of
government ownership and the
newspaper men will not let him
forget 1T. Perhaps Mr.. Bryan picked
up the idea merely as a hobby OF a
temporary nature, intending to drop
1t when its unpopularity commenced
TO assert itself, but he finds that.lh
Idea sticks to him closer than many
OF . bis democratic friends. With
government ownership clinging to
his coattails in a presidential race,
MI. Bryan would have as serious
handicap in travelling over the
country as he did in his second
presidential career when the free
silver bugbear arose continually as
an Interrogation point in his path
way. Perhaps be may be able to
satisfy bis party friends on the
government ownership point but the
country at large will take very little
stock IN whatever %eXplanali,n he
vail offer.

The Mitchell Capital.
FRIDAY, AUGUST ., 1907.

There Is a new turn in the affairs
of the Brownsville shooting. 1t has
developed now that instead of the
colored soldiers engaging in that act
that it was white men dressed in the
uniform of the soldier and had
blackened his face with burnt cork
to impersonate the colored troops.
The Brownsville incident has been
Rorn nearly threadba1e and the
country is somewhat tired Of the
threshing of the incident. The facts
have been brought out on several
occasions and there is nothing to be
gained by going y the entire
ground again.

The political atmosphere In Ohio
has cleared to some extent on the
presidential proposition. A meeting
of the republican central. committee
was held Tuesday at which it was
determined what support the com.
mittee d give Secretary Taft In
his presidential campaign, and IT
Is this first real public expression
that has enanated from that state.
Senator Foraker has been working
very hard Of late to prevent any
endorsement FROM the central COM
mittee, but his weakness was very
apparent when the subject was
brought up In the committee meet
Ing. Secretary TAFT received the
endorsement OF the committt e by a
vote Of IL to 6, and this vote ought
to be the means Of showing to the
country where Ohio stands on the
presidential candidate in that state
Senate. Foraker has objected to the
central committee taking any such
formal stand and declares that it is

Rainncw~ That Cam chenee Sex.

lii many parts of the world it is the
general belief that the rainbow has
the power to change sex. This queer
belief obtains in such widely separated
districts as South Africa and Norway
and China and Australia. The Zulus
have a long folklore story of the young
man who was changed into a wrinklcd
old woman by touching the many hued
arch. The Scandinavian peasants have
a similar story. INC in Greece they say
Of the rainbow will have his or her sex
instantly changed. In France and In
dia to pass under the rainbow has a
similar effect.

Tuesday The Daily Republican
entered on the twenty-fifth year of
its existence and In another year it
will complete its first quarter of a
century in the newspaper work in
Mitchell. Twenty-four years of life
as a daily newspaper in South Dakota
means something for a publication
and while the daily has seen some
rather discouraging days in those
twenty-four years. the future never
looked brighter than it does today.
The Republican has an advertising
patronage that is highly satisfactory
and a circulation that is gratifying
to the publishers and is very ben
ectiial to the merchants of Mitchell
who use its columns. The Republican
has endeavored at all times to assist
in making Mitchell grow ard develop
and it Is with considerable salts
faction that we have seer Mitchell
take its place among the leading
cities of the state not far from the
head OF the list. Ihe opportunities
for the further growth and develop
ment OF Mitchell are even better to-
day than ever before and the business
men OF the city are in such sympathy
with the idea that they have made
IL possible to take advantage of all
that is within her range. The Mil
waukee roads western extension is
going to be q OF the prime features
of this growth and with the estab-
lishmen6 OF regular train service
Mitchell will take another step
for ward.

A couple of farmers elevator, one
at South Shore and the other at
Henry, C%odington county, have just
made their reports for the years
business and their profits are amaz-
ingly large. The managers reported
that the profit on the business of the
year amounted to thirty per cent,
which is considered not a bad
Investment for the farmers who put
up the money to start the enterprise.
The elevators, 1T is presumed, paid
the regular market price for their
product aud aside from that handled
fuel. 1t is evident that there is
money IN the grain business and
that the farmers realizing it have
started quite a movement over tie
stale to get into the business.

not an expression of the voters of
the state. The senator intimates
that there is a possibility of his be-
coming a presidential candidate and
in view of that fact he thought that
the action OF the committee was a
trife premature. Mr.. Foraker's
attitude on certain national Ques-
tions is not regarded with sufficient
public favor as to bring him any
great amount of support from the
rank and tile Of the party, and his
talk OF settling the cast in a primary
election In the fall would only post
pone the date when the sentiment
would he even stronger against him.

Some of the editorial brethren who
are conducting insurgent newspapers
are trying to stir up the animals a
little early In the season by casting
out. a few ideas about Senator Kit

by sitting around the lobbies Of the
hotels at Moscow waiting for the snow
to quit falling and the diamond to dry
up sufficiently for out of door prac-
