A Great Show.

The Big Stadium show is the
best ever brought to Grangeville,
and is drawing big crowds at each
performance, Mr.. M. B. Davis the
manager, has spared no expense in
getting the best talent for the
amusement Of our people and is
being we'll repaid for his efforts.
The Great Diavlo the human
Salamander with his act OF fire is
very sensational. The Queby

wire work are very clever, while
Gabbert and Garrett in their diff

cling are exceptionally fine.

Mr.. Bryan says that Secretary
Taft is a postponer because the
secretary does not meet With the
demand OF how Mr.. Bryan would do
things. The trouble with Bryan is
he has not had the opportunity to
demonstrate what he would do since
he come into the limelight so strong.
1t is always safe to be THAT a man
in theory can do anything. but when
he comes to the practice Of them he
seems to change his opinion nightly.
Speaking all over the country. Mr..
Bryan gets a goou deal OF enthusiasm
going by criticising Others and

With the silver gentleman in the

he would not do all in practice that

helm there is trouble on. And MIR.

The county commissioners of Min
nehaha county declined to make an
appropriation of $500 to pay the
expense of a corn lecture by Prof.
Holden, Iowa's expert, for the reason
that the members claimed they had
no right to expend the mony in that
way. The Argus-Leader caustically
refers to the time when the county
commissioners assumed the right to
expend $1,000 for the services of a
professional Northumberland then
didn't get the rain. There is some
difference in the corn question as 1t
is presented by Prof. Holden, whose
work is recognized as the very best
in this country, for he has demon
strated by his method that it is pos
sible to make. two ears of corn grow
where one grew before. /.

Senator Borah, of Idaho, who was
indicted recently charged with land
frauds, will be tried September %.
1t is claimed that behind his arrest
and indictment there is an effort be-
ing made to hinder him in his trial
of Pettibone, who is to be tried for
completely in the murder of Gov
ernor Steunenberg. 1t is further
claimed that the federation of miners
is behind the movement to get Borah
into trouble, thus hoping to effect
a delay in the trial of the official.
1t is claimed that the district attor-
ney is more or less in sympathy with
the federation when he secured the
indictment of the senator. The whole
facts in the case, on both sides, have
been sem to Washington for an in

Pierre Daily Dakotan: a promi-
nent railroad official is reported to
have said. in the Rapid City Journal,
that South Dakota is destined to
have six big towns, aberdeen, Brook
irgs. Rapid City, Sioux Falls and
Pierre. We rather guess that Huron
and Watertown will sit up and pay
attention after this. Take off your
bat to the big six.
And the Dakotan heaped the
indignity on Mitchell by not
mentioning our city with the big
six, not even asking us to sit up and
take notice. 1t is so unkind, so
ungenerous, of the Dakotan to make
such a terrible thrust at Mitchell as to
put us out of the class of the greater
cities of the state. Fortunately,
that will not put a stop to the pro-
g.ess and development OF Mitchell,
which is growing with that soliditv
and strength which in a few year will

South Dakota farm products will
be given a grand showing at the
corn palace in Mitchell, September
.23-2S. During all the years that
Mitchell has had her corn palace the
agricultural products have been made
the leading feature and this fact has
been advertised near and far, with
the result that the state has receive
ed much judicious advertising and
consequently has brought thousands
of people into the state for perna-
nent residents. The great corn pal
ace building, covered with corn, has
been a revelation to the visitors, who
thought it impossible to raise such
fine corn in this state, but the pres
ence of it in such abundant quan-
titles has settled the question in the
minds of Iowa and Illinois farmers,
and they are now looking up invest
ments in the state, SO they can sell
their high priced lands back there
and come out here to raise just as
good crops on cheaper soil.

emphasized by personal let
tiers from the president to his
friends. Notwithstanding such opposi-
ton as this the Roosevelt Republican
League is going to hold a meeting
next week in Huron "for the purpose
of p%erlecting an organization to Sc
cure the election of a Roosevelt del
egation to the national republican
convention in 1908" This would
indicate the league is not in very
close touch with the president and
is not doing the thing which he
would best like. Owing to the fact
that Secretary Taft and Senator
Kittredge are strong personal friends
the league declines TO have anything
to do with Mr.. Taft for fear it might
give the senator a little additional
prestige in this state next year. The
league must be actuated by very
high motives when it refuses to fol-
low the wishes Of their leader be-
cause the leaders, candidate happens
to stand on a strong footing OF
friendship with one of the senators
of South Dakota. The league can
have no other reason for being In
different to the candidacy of Secre-
tary Taft than the fact that he is a
strong personal friend Of Senator
Kittredge.

Any body who has been reading the

wonder at the statement made by
Hearst. In those editorials capital

Henry Gassaway, who, it will be
remembered, was the candidate for
vice president on the democratic
ticket along with Judge Parker, has
sent out word from West Virginia
that he is not at all DESTROYS Of

place. Uncle Henry is now 80 years
old, and his declaration will take a
big load from the minds of the dem

The Portland Oregonian says:
Secretary Taft will receive more
opposition in the republican conven-
ton than he deserves. All the peo-
pie who oppose Roosevelt will OPP
pose him" The Oregonian has not
heard from South Dakota as yet. 1t
is just a little different in this state.
The Roosevelt Republican League is
for Roosevelt for a third term. Mr..
Roosevelt say no in terms unmis-
taxable, terms that are vigorous,
terms that no mancan misunderstood.
And he is just as insistent and hope
full that his friends will rally to the
support Of Secretary Taft, whom, he
declares, embodies all the essentials
and desires to carry out the Roose-
welt program. Notwithstanding that
the Roosevelt republican league does
not show the least inclination to do
the first thing for the secretary. 1t
wants the state delegation instruct
ed wholly for the president, knowing
that the president will not stand for
a third term. After that what will
the South Dakota delegation do,
should it be instructed for the presi-
dent? The "reformers" are mislead-
ing the people of the state when
they assume to say that the stalwarts
republicans are not for the president
for a third term. We do not be-
lieve that there is a stalwart paper
in the state but what would be glad
indeed to support the president for
a third term-if the president show
ed any inclination that way. We
would welcome the announcement
from President Roosevelt that he
had decided to go to the convention
for the nomination and the Republic
an would be found working just as
hard for the presidents nomination
as any paper in the state. But UNI
der the direct and pointed statement
of the president it would be labor
absolutely thrown away. The stall
warts show a greater desire to fol-
low the wishes of the president thar
do the "~reformers," for the latter
annot show in any instance what
time and again for not giving labor
an equal show to make the money,

have had more or less to do with
the dissatisfaction of the laboring
class. 1t is possible that as a cap

During the present mo,

During the present month, ac-
cording to Chicago dispatches, Illi-
nois is to be the scene of quite a
political movement, sweeping from
the north end to the extreme south
ern portion of the state. 1t is to
start out with a sort of rounding
up of gubernatorial candidates with
the climax at the state fair at
Springfield, and Uncle Joe Cannon
is to be heard from the platform
in many points in the state, from
which, it is said, he will sound the
keynote of the presidential cam
paign. Following all this turmoil it
is stated that the great third-term
movement is to be started through
Illinois at the time that President
Roosevelt makes his trip frim Keo-
kuk, Iowa, down the Mississippi
river to Cairo, and it is claimed that
it will sweep the entire Mississippi
valley through and through, which
will mean that all the barriers that
the president has put up against a
third term will be swept away. Much
influence for the movement is to be
borrowed from Iowa, where Govern
or Cummins stands as the sponsor
for the solidity of the question in
that state. All of the Cummins
newspapers have been primed for the
situation and they will turn loose
their batteries at the proper time.
Despite the i%nsistence of the presi-
dent, his friends all over the country
insist on a third term-that he
might have sufficient time to carry
out his program of railroad and
trust reforms. The president says
emphatically that under no circum-
stances will he accept a third term

Pierre's Gas Belt Exposition will
be something of an experiment in
that section of the state, but the end
they hope to attain is a most worthy
one-the advertising of the great
western domain which stretches
from the Missouri river to the Black
Hills country, and it is a vast area
to be peopled in the coming years.
Some such movement as started by
Pierre will eventually have the effect
of attracting attention that way. A
great many people coming to Mitch
ell will also have an opportunity
to get out on the reservation when
they come to the corn palace and

There is quite a strife on down
in Iowa over the election of a SEN
ator. Senator Allison has not with
drawn from the race and Governor
Cummins is making a strong bid for
the nomination under the primary
system. The Marshalltown Reflector
is making a queer proposition as
sort of a bet on the outcome of the
fight. The Reflector says it is ready
to sell it's entire plant for $4,000
if Goveror Cummins receives the
nomination, and if Senator Allison
gets it the paper will be sold abso-
lutely for II dollar. The managers
are ready to enter into a contract
with any individual on this PROPOSE
ton. That seem to express a great
deal of faith in the governor carry
ing the state in the primaries next
June. The paper men say they want
to get out of business and that $10,-
600 is the actual invoice Of the plant.
1t is a unique proposition.

e. C. Torrey, the political writer
for South Dakcta politics in the Min
neapolis Journal, gives a very inter
esting review of the situation in the
state, SO far as it relates to the stall
wart and insurgent factions. Mr..
Torrey gives it as his opinion that
the stalwarts are better organized
than the insurgents and there is less
room for friction, because of the
fewer possibilities of candidates as
on the other side of the house, where
three candidates for governor are
mentioned and as many for the NOM
ination to congress. The fight is
young yet and there is no telling
where the ambitions of the reform
party will lead it's members.
