senator Kittredge's Address.

r j
On Thursday afternoon Of last week
Senator Kittredge delivered very
interesting address before a fine as
sembly audience during which he
gave detailed history of the canal.
He was introduced by Judge Kennedy
who paid the Senator many compli-
ments and won for himself high APP
probation for the eloquent and mas
terly manner in which he did 1t.
Senator Kittredge is perhaps as
well posted on the great canal as any
man in congress and a great deal bet
ter than most of them. He has had
charge Of the work of the canal COM
mittee in the senate ever since Sena-
tor Hanna died. Although not chair
man of the committee he has had the
detail work in charge and from this
comes his intimate knowledge of the
great engineering work which Uncle
Sam has undertaken. His description
of the great locks, the work and the
approaches from the oceans was inter-
esting to all because 1t Is subject
our people read little about. The Sena-
tors recent visit to the unfinished
canal with Secretary Taft placed him
in possession Of. important details Gov
ering the progress of the work.

Dakota than exist In other states.
Therefore it is my duty to be frank
with my constituents. Why should

and why should not take you into
my confidence and call to your atten-
tion some of the work done by the
last legislature in the way of regula-

thing about my own political future.
l do not have to be public officer If
my tenure Of office depends upon my
ability to peddle out few peanut t
offices, then send me to the demni-
tion bows vows. There is something
far more important at stake here"
Governor Crawford then took up the
discussion of the work of the last
South Dakota legislature. He said
that In ten years the party in power
had done nothing to correct condi-
tions. That the corporations had con-
trolled the legislatures. That the
railroad and party bosses had worked
together to prevent the legislation
demanded by the people.
He then enumerated the recently
adopted pledges of the republican
platform and told the laws passed by
the last legislature in fulfllment of
those pledges.
And then in defense of his own ad-
ministration he alluded to the capital
building stone question and said that
it was only just that his administra
tion should have hearing. He said
that it had always been demanded
that the state house be erected with
lSouth Dakota material and that one
of his predecessors had secured the
plans and employed a supervising
architect for the building.
The last legislature passed the law
which made it impossible for US tc
pay per cent more for South Da
kota material for the building than
material from other states would cost
We could not use South DakOta,Ina

He never offered to undertake to fur

reason we would have been obliged
to change the plans for the building

Good Result.

Under the operation of the new
Pure Food Laws, baking powders now
generally bear on the labels state
ment OF the ingredients. This is OF
utmost Importance because Of the
harmful ingredients used in many
cases.
Royal Baking Powder is known to
be the only baking powder made OF
Royal Grape Cream of Tarter, and
this no doubt explains its greatly in
creased sale here.
Careful housekeepers are taking ad-
vantage of the protection which the
Laws affords, and are examining all
the reading matter on the back Of the
label before adopting any brand for
use in the home.
When In place Of the words Cream
of Tarter the words "alum" "alumi-
num-, or phosphate Of lime" appear
among the ingredients, they heed the
warning and avoid baking powders
containing these substitutes.

There has been good deal said
about the stupid insult handed out TO
Senator Gamble and Gov. Crawford
by Senator Kittredge at the Taft 10
ception at Sioux Falls, but the chagrin
and disgust Of Secretary Taft over the
boorish treatment Of his guests was
very marked when he got . copy Of =
Sioux City paper at Fort Meade giving
details OF the ungentlemanly treat
ment Of those whom he had asked to
meet him and become his guests.
Those who heard the apologies are
inclined to believe that Secretary
Taft will never be caught In . Kit
tredge reception hereafter.

ROOSEVELT IN THE HAY FIELD.
Sets Pace for Farm Hands--He's
Voted Boss Man With Fork.

"If Teddy Roosevelt was not pre-
sident he could make his living pitch
ing hay" said Ned Maloney, admir-
ingly, in the village store at Norwich,
L. l., one night last week. All the
loungers in the store sat up and took
eager notice.
"Was you over to Oyster Bay today,
Ned?" asked old ST Hawkins, who
was sitting on a cider keg and slyly
helping himself out of a cracker box.
"Was I?'' cried Maloney, proudly.
II justguess I was. President Roose-
velt put his hay crop in the barn on
Sycamore hill farm today and helped
him."
"Dew tell" chorused the loungers.
'The president came over to the
field about two hours after noontime, =
began Maloney. "He had on white
negligee shirt and white duck pants,
belted around his waist, and one OF
them broncho- buster hats. He had
a hayfork over his shoulder, and l
wistlt all the populists from here To
Californy could have seen him. There
wouldn't be any more populists tickets
for president. They'd vote for Teddy
for a life term.
"There was three Oyster Bay fellers
there and me; they was pitching and
1 was loading" continued Maloney to
his rapt auditors. well, when the
president Of the United States showed
up we was all as bashful as girl the
FIRST time her feller asks her to walk
home from church with him.
"'Hello, boys, said Teddy.
8" tHowdy, Mr.. President" we all
said.
! - Forget I'm the president, boys,
said Teddy.
"'I'm a haymaker, that's all, and
he laughs to himself and says I'm al
ways making hay, ann
ssIs he?' interrupted 81 Hawkins
81 never heard of it before" !"
"Well, he was today" said Maloney
"But afore he started in he shook
hands with the three fellers. They
were sort o. sweaty and they started
to rub their hands on their pants
But Teddy said, %, that's all right
I'm always glad to shake the hand OF
the honest toiler, even If it is warm,
or something like that, I couldn't

"Well, he started in and-tall
about pitchers, Teddy's wonder, by
jimminy crickets," exclaimed Malo-
lney. Before the first load was done
you wouldn't t have given one OF Bills
