CRAWFORD TO STAND PAT
Would Not Accept Nomination From
Hands of Those Who Tried to
Send Him to Prison.

Huron Jan. 5 = Special to The
Republican-In an address given
at bnquet his honor here last
evening Governor-elect CoeI Craw-
ford referred to the efforts of
the stalwartS and democrats to de-
feat Senator Gamble as work of
character aSsassins swarming like
rats and.toads from dark cellars and
trying to poison the minds of the
people against d man who has more
than thirty years honorable citizen
ship and many years conscientious
public service to commend him.
Continuing he said: eff the sena-
torial toga were offered me through
the instrumentality OF these poison
vendors now Or at any time | would
spurn it. | would spit upon it They
are the same gang which last spring
wanted to send me to the peniten-
tiary and now profess to want to
send me to the senate" He said
the attack against Senator Gamble
was the first act in a plan to disrupt
the reform forces and lie expected
every friend of the cause to stand firm,
for every promise and endorsement
made by state the convention.

Inheritance Tax Laws.

Springfield Republican: About
half the states Of the union have
Inheritance tax laws, so the federal
census bureau finds. but only half a
dozen o. them extend the tax to
direct inheritances, ard then at a
very moderate rate. Nevertheless
these taxes are now sufficient to yield
$40, 00O, 900 or more of revenue. 1t
would not be rash to conclude from
this that il these taxes were extend
ed to all the states and graduated to
the extent suggested in the Perkins
bill before congress-. an aggregate
yearly revenue of 500, 900, OOoo, Or 50
would result. But calculations OF
this nature, however much they may
excite the cupidity of the national
government, will also the more
strongly arraythe several states in
opposition to a surrender of the tax
to the Washington authority.

rates in force III adjoining states.
Beyond asking occasional questions
OF the shippers, the representatives
Of the railroads offered no testimony,
their side OF the cas not yet heing
ready for presentation.
At the time this was written the
hearing had not been concluded, and
the expectation was that furthe r
hearing would te held during the
next few weeks in order to give both
sides every opportunity to present
such testimony and figures as is
deemed proper.
The present monthly meeting of
the railroad commissioners marked
the close Of the term OF Frank Lee
Coco, who for six years has been a
member of the board. He will be
succeeded by George Rice, of Flan-
drea, who was elected a member of
the board at the election in Novem-
Der, in succession to Mr.. LeCocQ.

SUPREME OFFICERS ELECTED
Members of the Home Guardian
Elect Supreme Officers for the
Next Two Years.

Mitchell has the only fraternal Or
ganization having headquarters in
this state in the Order of Home
Guardians. The order has been
carrying on a general election among
its members for the selection of
officers for the ensuing two Years
and the system Of the election gives
every member an opportunity to vote
individually for the supreme officers.
BY this method the order does away
with the expense Of a grand lodge
session. AS a result of the election
the following officers were named:
Supreme Guardian-O. S. Clifford,
of Canton.
Supreme Secretery- L. ID. Milne,
OF Mitchell.
Supreme Treasurer-Frank A. Nor
ris, Huron.
Supreme Vice Guardian VIM. A.
Turner, Huron.
Supreme Field Marshal j.. G.
Milne. Huron.
A. Vandenburg, of Huron.
Board of Supreme lrustees-Don.
G. Medbery, Huron, FL. N. Cooper.
Canton. and j. IL Gallagher, Hurley.
These officers have been serving
the order for some length of time,
and the membership has shown its
confidence in their ability and man
agment by the fact that there we're
no other candidates in the field.
The head office OF the Home Gaurd-
ian was moved to Michel some three
years ago, and the order has rapidly
grown since that time. The order
now occupies Offices in the city hall
building, which are equipped in a
most excellent name for the trans
action of their business and which
is so ably managed by the officers
having charge of that branch of the
work, but as these quarters are en-
tirely inadequate owing to the rapid
growth OF the Order, they expect
to take a suite of offices in the new
First National Bank building, as 0
as the rooms are ready for occupancy.
Their field force is constituted of
the very best drilled and trained
solicitors, and by their work the
order has many business and profess
sional men and women Of the state
as policy holders.
Mitchell can Justly boast of being
the head-quarter is Of the only pur-
ley South Dakota faternal life in
surance order.
The Republican wishes to con-
graduate the newly elected Home
Guardian officers, and predicts a
very bright future for the Oder.

DOUBLE TRAINS TO HILLS
Improved Train Service Will Come
With Completion of Milwau-
kee Road to Hills.

1t has been problematical what the
Milwaukee road would do in regard
to train service when their Iiue was
finished to the Black Hills country,
and much speculation has been to-
dulpeu in along that line. That it
will be greatly improved there is no
doubt, aud according to an official
of the company there will be a night
and a day service from Mitchell and
east to Chicago. in the following
article from the Sioux City Journal.
an Official gives some idea what the
company has in store, but the re-
porter in saying that there is only
ont train a day out of Sioux City for
Mitchell makes a mistake, for a
train leaves their in the morning
and another comes up in the after
noon. arriving here at 10 O'Clock.
Should the trains be established as
quoted W the Milwaukee Official, it
will give Mitchell about the best
services in the state:
Double daily train service between
Sioux City and Chicago and the
Black Hills is likely to become IA
reality within the coming year, ac.
cording to an official of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st, Paul road who
has jurisdiction in South Dakota,
! and whose recommendation is apt to
be accepted.
The probable service on the new
Rapid City extension from Chamber
lain, a mapped out yesterday by
this official, is as follows:
observation-disclosures train to leave
Rapid City in the morning, arrive at
Sioux City the same evening and
reach Chicago the following morn
ing. Through train to leave Rapid
City in the evening. arrive at Sioux
City the following morning and reach
Chicago the same evening.
observation-disclosures train to leave
Chicago in the morning, arrive at
Sioux City same evening and each
Rapid City the next moning.
Through train to leave Chicago in
the evening, reach at Sioux City the
next morning, and reach Rapid City
the same evening.
Connections at Rapid City will be
made for Deadwood, hot Springs and
| other Black Hills points.
"Just look at the map and see the
territory we have to serve along the
new line west from Chamberlain"
said the railroad man, ''anh you
will see that the service l have out
lined will be a necessity
For Sioux City this means not only
double daily through service to the
Black Hills, binding the local mark
ing even more closely to this terri
tory. but night service to South Da-
kota, including Mitchell, Yankton,
and scores of other towns. For years
this has been the wish and prayer OF
South Dakota and Sioux City job
bers.
At present trains for Mitchell
and Sioux Falls leave Sioux City only
once Il day. Passengers coming into
Sioux City on connecting lines have
heen forced to lay over until the
next morning and travelling men
have often been delayed nearly
twenty-four hours.
Milwaukee officials expect to have
the Rapid City line completed and
ready for business before the COM
ing summer is over. 1t was q great
Disappointment TIC every n con-
cerned that the line was not COM
pleted last summer, u%nfavorable
weather conditions and a labor short
age making this impossible.

RBRii ROUTE CHANGES
Postmaster Speaks OF Coming Changes
and Makes Suggestions About
Better Roads.

6eCGSr 0OauS.
To Patrons of Rural Routes: On
Feb, 18th, 1907, rura! routes Nos.
2, 8, A, S, will be changed as fol
lows: Route No. 2 will be changed
by dropping section 10 aud taking in
section 30, Prosper township: route
No. 3 will he changed by dropping
sectiuns % and SO. Beulah township
and taking iu section "a Lisbon
townships; route No. A will be
changed by dropping section l6 and
IL Beulah township; route No. 5
will be changed by taking in section
"a and west of one-half of secllon I
and Is Hanson township.
These changes we're made 10y the
%postoffice inspector in connection
with the establishment of service
for the entire county, The postmas-
ter had no knowledge OF these CON-
templated changes until officially
announced.
Considerable complaint has been
made relative to rural route service.
I wish to say that | think this will
be largely remedied when the salary
OF the rural carriers is such as to
keep the best men in the service
long enough to get them thoroughly
acquainted with their patrons.
So far, with the exceptions of
routes No. 2and 5..the carriers have
been changed so often and new ones
put on that 1T has been impossible to
give good service.
The salary of the present rural car
riers is S720.O 90 per year. Out OF that
lie is compelled to support three
horses and two wagons. The expense
of tbis will average about $500 per
month leaving S35. 90 to support the
family. You, who knew somtlhing of
the expenses OF living in a city, will
understand why we have so many
designations and why new carriers
are being constantly put in the SER
vice.
In a recent report of the Postmas-
ter General to Congress he econ
mends an increase OF $3.50. co per year
for rural carriers. If this is grant
cd it will 20 far towards removing
the troubles confronting the rural
carriers. We trust the patrons will
be charitable until these questions
Gan be settled by the government.
1t might, be appropriate at this
time 10 quote the law relative to
bad roads Which frequently delays
the carrier several hours and Some
times makes complete delivery in
possible:
THE department looks to patrons
and road officials to see that high
ways covered by rural routes are
maintained in such conditions that
they can be travelled at all seasons.
Indifference in this matter will be
considered sufficient cause for the
withdrawal of rural service from a
cum munity."
1t will thus be seen.-sthat patrons
OF a rural route must make roads
passible OF see to it that the road
overseer does it.
After each storm every patron
should take a shovel and see that all
drifts are cleared away from the
mail-box, also, see that the road is
broken to The next neighbor on each
side.
When any irreglllarity occurs in
delivery of nail il The patrons would
speak TO the carrier personally, or
drop Il note in the box and thus
help the carrier get acquainted with
his route it would 20 far toward
helping the service.

I'll. T.. Bras. Postmaster.
