amendment favored b. President
Roosevelt and no vusru tpr tue bill.
L4aFoilette had three amendments
aud President Roosevelt was opposed
&c ali OF them. One OF them WAS an
amendment which in the opinion OF
good lawyers would have made the
law unconstitutional. and which. as
President Roosevelt says, would have
been downright confiseation OF the
property OF innocent holders OF rail-
road bonds. Senator Gambts voted
against one of these. but In his
speech at Flandreau Mr.. LaFollette
did not tell this, until forced to do
by a question from the audience.
LaFollette also failed to say
what was the attitude of the presi-
dent on these amendments. No doubt
Mr.. LaFollette thinks that President
is also "a tool of the cor
porations,' but he has not yet mus
tered up courage enough to say so.

The strike situation on the vest
ern railroads does not look very en-
couraging for a settlement, inasmuch
as the ultimatum of the conductors
and brakemen vas not accepted by
the railroad managers when the mat
ter was finally put up to them for
acceptance or rejection. Should the
strike occur it would paralyze bust
ness in the west, as it would stop all
passenger and freight trains, unless
the railroad managers have the help
in sight to Immediately man their
trains. The railroad men ask for
shorter hours and larger pay, and
the railroad managers, while willing
to concede a portion of the demands,
will not go the full length. BY a
popular vote of the railroad en-
ployes they voted to strike unless
their demands are granted.

The grating city officials in San
Francisco have struck a heavy blow
against the generosity of the people
of this country, and it is possible
that the next opportunity the coun-
try has to donate millions of dollars
and supplies by the trainload will be
accepted with slowness. The people
have no objection to aiding a needy
people, but when their money is con-
verified to the Uses of grafters then
they will stop the source of supply.
Out of a donation Of s25O,OOO made
by one corporation the g%rafters
in San Francisco stole all but $685.
900 of it, and thousands of people
were forced to go hungry that the in
satiate greed of the grafters might
be appeased. If men cannot be en-
trusted with as sacred a fund as that
sent to California, then the people
will not know whom to trust. Those
grafters ought to be given a sentence
in the penitentiary long enough to
teach them a lesson in honesty at
least in connection with public funds.

Vermillion is to have a canning
factory in operation nex fall. A
company of local capitalists has been
organized with a capital of $4,000
for the erection and equipment of a
first-class canning plant, and they
will have it in readiness to can the
tomatoes when they become ripe.
About 100000 quarts of this fruit
will be put up this eason and sew
eral thousand cans of beans. There
is no reason why a canning factory
cannot be made to pay down around
Vermillion as there is an immense
quantity of all kinds of fruit raised
in that section and there ought to
be sufficient product to keep the fac
tory working overtime during the
fruit season. We might he eating

would fail because there was no APP
praisal of the actual value of rail-
road property, and the fixing of rates
thereon. He mentioned his amend
ment to this effect and said that
Senator Gamble voted for it, and that
Senator Kittredge voted against it.
Mr.. LaFollette did not say, however,
that President Roosevelt was also OPP
posed to the amendment on the
ground that it would near a conis-
cation of the property of thousands
of innocent bondholders who had
bought watered bonds in good faith.
Speaking of the amendment barring
a judge who held any railroad stock
from sitting in a Use involving rail-
road matters, LaFollette said that
Senator Kittredge voted against it.
He said nothing about how Senator
Gamble voted and was about to leave
the question when some one in the
audience asked the question:
Glow did Senator Gamble vote on
this amendment?"
Senator LaFollette turned red in
the face and hemmed and hawed for
a few moments. Then he said:
well Senator Gamble voted against
it, tool.
This evident attempt to gloss over
Gamble and abuse Kittredge fell fiat,
for the audience saw the Wisconsin
senator's unfairness and his influence
was gone during the remainder of
the lecture.

Virginia is taking an advanced
step in the recognition of the ''un-
written law" A case OF murder has
Just been concluded in that state
where the defense introduced the I'M
written law proposition and the jury
acquitted the defendant. A bill has
just been introduced in the legisla-
ture of that state putting into form
the "unwritten law" to be utilized in
the discretion of the jury. This, if
passed, will be q novelty in the form
of law, for no other state in the union
has anything similar to it. The bill
is as follows:
BE it enacted by the general as
sembly OF Virginia, That in all Grim
inal trials involving a charge of as
sault and battery. assault with intent
to MAIN, disable, disfigure and kill,
or homicide, in which it is proven
that the person upon which such as
sau1t was committed had been guilty
of a wrong upon the person of the
wife, mother, sister or daughter of
the accused, the jury shall be the
judges of whether such pr%ovocation
was sufficient to Justify such assault
and may. il such assault is SO iusti-
feel, find a verdict Of acquittal."

Editor Kortright, of the Fairfax
Sun-Review, is lying in the county
Jail under a judgment of $500 for
criminal libel which was secured by
Fred Huston, who was a candidate
for sheriff last fall, and against
whom the editor made some very
caustic remarks during the cam
.paign. 1t was not supposed that the
newspaper man would be committed
to Jail, but the court directed that
he be placed within the prison walls
until the judgment was paid. The
newspaper man has telephone con
nection with his Jail cell and his Of
fee and directs the work in the Of
flee and the publication of his news
paper in that way. After Kortright
gets out doubtless there will be
something doing, but he wi1l be care
full to keep away from the line of
criminal libel. A man in the news
paper business oftimes forgets where
the line of criminal libel exists and
thinks that an individual would sub
nit to a good deal of criticism before
carrying a libel suit into court. But
it is just as we'll to keep within the
bounds of propriety with the pen as
with the tongue, in fact more so.

Clate Tinan's Kimball Graphic /

Clate Tinan's Kimball Graphic is
twenty-five years old-reached that
point last week. Clate has been at
the helm the greater share of that
time and it looks like he is going to
stick it out for the rest of his natural
existence. Clate said he could write
column after column concerning the
history of those twenty-five years,
but he didn't-just ripped it off with
five or six lines. Clate has secured
a high standing in the newspaper
fraternity of the state in the years
that he has been conducting the
Graphic and is deservedly popular
among the editors Of South Dakota.
Here's hoping that the old boy will
stick through to the end.

A beer famine is on in ST. Louis.
Every laborer in the breweries Of
the sanity city struck Saturday for
higher pay Notwithstanding that in
striking they had to forego the free
beer that goes with the work in the
brewery. 1t will be a great hardship
on st. Louis to go without beer for
several days, but perhaps they had
enough beer made to satisfy the To-
cal demand until the strike would
end. That's one strike which would
affect the general public but little, and
as long as the pump holds out the
thirst can be alleviated.

Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, wants
to contest the ground with Secretary
Taft to see whether the people of
Ohio will support him over Taft for
the presidential nomination, and
Foraker suggests that a primary
election be held to determine the re-
suit. Senator Foraker has an eS-

Ohio people or he thinks he would
have a walkaway with the secretary.

Some disclosures in the hiring of
superintendent, principals and
teachers of the public schools of the
state indicate that the book concerns
of the east are more or less inter-
ested and have some control over
whom is selected for positions in this
state. This was discovered when
two members of the Watertown
school board went down into Iowa
to hire a superintendent for the city
schools, and found that they could
not get the man they wanted without
the endorsement of the school book
concern. 1t is intimated that the
book concern cuts quite a good deal
of figure in many places in the Sc
lection of teachers in order that
when the ive-year contracts come up
that it will have friends. A Water
town correspondent thus relates the
experience of two board members
who went to secure a superintend-
ent:
They found just the kind of an
educator they were looking for and
we're about to close the contract
with him when they received a tele-
gram from an agent of one of the
big book trusts stating that their
man had not received their o. K.
and hence was not eligible to the
position. One of these two members
of the board was a business man of
affairs, a lawyer and ex-member of
the legislature, but he acknowledged
himself helpless to grapple with the
school book trust, and refused %
stand for reelection to the board.
Watertown is thoroughly aroused
and at least thinks that she is going
to see that her teachers are elected
on their merits and not because they
can be worked by some book COM
pany. If it is proved that the school
board or any of it's members are
caught. in the conspiracy their pub
lie service is liable to be at an end.

A New York dispatch says that the
Union Pacific railroad lost s24,000..

riman. This railroad magnate had
quite a meteoric career, shooting uI
to the zenith of railroad presidents,
but it seems his trials are commens-
ing with the failure of his schemes
Not many railroads would care tic
have MI. Hartman attempt to run
their business on his policy.

In a Foa.

Nothing has such a bewildering ef-
feet as fog. Only animals which find
their way by scent can get about in it
with any certainty. Birds are entirely
confused by it. Tame pigeons remain
all day motionless and half asleep, hud-
died up. either in or just outside their
pigeon houses. Chickens remain mo-
tlonless for hours during heavy fogs.
No bird sings or utters call, perhaps
because it fears 70 betray its where

very thick fog a blind man was found
wandering about a certain district Of

scarcely ever lost his way before. Ask
