THE PHYSICAL VALUE.

While in consultation with ex-Gov-
ernor Larrabee, of Iowa, pioneer in
the movement for the regulation of
railways, the president of the United
States said he was going to ask con.
gress to make provision for establish
ing the real value of all railrord prop
erty in the country. Such valuation
it is understood, will be made the ba-
sis of prices to be charged for trans
portation service, if it is authorized
by congress.
This is the LaFollette idea and it
was given scant attention by the last
congress, although the senator from
Wisconsin endeavored to secure for it
a day in court.
The president has been slow in
yielding his endorsement to the La
Toilette contribution to the solution of
the transportation problem, but now
that he is committed to it, he will use
his influence to crystalline it into law.
A valuation for rate making pur-
poses based on the quantity of stock
in existence would not be fair basis
for shippers and the president has
been trying to hit upon another plan
that would not involve the waste of
dividend producing water. Just how
this is to be prevented is not made
clear.
For 70 years, Mr. Larrabee has been
in the front of the conflict for state
regulation of railroads and it is pre-
sumed that his views on the subject of
regulation will secure message rec

had more personal friends than did
Mr.. Bishop. For his friends nothing
was too good at his hands. Many q
man received 'lift" at his hands, but
Bishop did not cry his charities from
the house top. 1t can truthfully be
said of him that the world is better
for his having lived in it.
This writer regarded Mr.. Bishop as
one of our truest and best friends.
To him we are indebted for wise coun-
sci and words of encouragement. We
shall cherish his memory, throwing a
mantle of charity over his failings,
and remembering with pleasure his
virtues and his friendship even as
though of our own blood.
Peace to his ashes.

in the 'ad" department. He went
from Chicago to Minneapolis, and for
six months was foreman on the Trib-
une.
He had some experience as coun-
try publisher in Wisconsin. About
the year 1883 he went to Cedar Falls,
Iowa, and entered into partnership
with a gentleman in the publication
of the Gazette, but this did not prove
satisfactory and only lasted for year
when the firm dissolved. Mr.. Bishop
then moved to Volga where he pur-
chased the Tribune, which, under his
editorial and business management,
became one of the best known and
best paying country papers in the
northwest He continued in business
at Volga until January lst, 1899,
when he sold his interests with the
determination of retiring from an ac
| tive life. He then moved his family
to Sioux Falls. For time he cover
ed the state twice a year for the Amer
lean Type Founders Co. But he
soon tired of that and pined for the
active newspaper work again, which
he again entered by purchasing the
Salem Special and assuming the ac-
tive management. About three years
ago he sold the Salem paper and then
went onto the retired list. His news
paper ventures in this state enabled
him to accumulate sufficient property
to give himself and wife comfortable
living from the income without en-
croaching upon the principal. This
property together with the life insur-
ance goes to the true and faithful
wife whom he married in early man
hood. That he fully appreciated the
faithfullness of this good woman is
indicated by his high regard for her
and the fact that he had all business
matters so arranged that upon his
death she became the sole owner of
all property and all details had been
SO carefully looked after that all de-
lays and legal proceeding are avoided.
AS man among men Thomas w.
Bishop was the peer of the best. In
business and social circles he was
honest and upright. His wife had
the love and care of strong nature.
He was strong in his likes and dis
likes, was always open and above
board Probably no man in the state

THOMAS w. BISHOP DEAD.

At his home in Salem, this state,
Thomas w. Bishop, one of the oldest
newspaper men of the state, and one
of the ab!est in the profession, passed
to the Great Beyond Sunday. April
2lst shortly after Doon. The cause
of death was paralysis The first at
tack came during the early part of
the winter. He recovered from the
shock and hopes were entertained that
the recovery would be permanent, but
it was not to be. After a short time
another shock was experienced, but
the recovery from this was not so full
as that after the first shock. Several
other shocks occurred and each time
Mr.. Bishop became weaker. For near
ly a week preceding his death he was
unconscious a greater part of the time.
His body was taken to Mineral
Point, Wis, for interment in the Gem
etery where rest the remains of his
relatives.
Thomas w. Bishop was born near
Mineral Point, Wis, about 1888. AS
a boy he had no advantages, and very
little time was devoted to his educa-
ton even in the common school of
that time and locality. He was in all
respects self-made man. When a
youth he entered the printing office
and learned the trade in country
Office. Later he went to Milwaukee
where he "held cases" in the same
'alley" with Peck, who later became
famous as the author of Peck's Bad
Boy, and who few years ago was
governor of Wisconsin. All through
life Peck and Bishop were firm friends.
At the beginning of the civil war
Mr.. Bishop entered one of the Wis
consin volunteer regiments as pri-
vate, and at the close of about three
years service was discharged as Sec
ond lieutenant. His career as sol
dier was one Of active service from
beginning to end. In after life, how,
ever, he seldom spoke Of his service
to his country. Self-praise was not
one of his faults.
After his discharge from the army
he again entered the newspaper work
as journeyman printer. He was
again employed for time in Milwau-
kee, later going to Chicago where he
spent several years on the Inter Ocean

recites his soldier pedigree and
what he has done for the old soldiers.
He assumes to demand certain things
for him in the name of the old soldiers
as if he represented all the old sol
dier interests. 1t might be well for
Fitch to remember that the Soldiers
Home is an institution belonging to
and supported by the people of this
state for the benefit of all who have
need of it, and il is not an institution
maintained for the purpose of provid-
ing an office for some politician, even
though that politician be an old sol
dier caring more for office than for
the interests of those compelled by
circumstances to seek the shelter of
the home. The interest of the old
soldiers is not advanced by men who
use them as a means to secure office
or to retain official position when once
secured.

The Argus Leader of the 23rd inst.
claimed to have had an interview
with Elk Senator Pettigrew in which
that gentleman stated positively that
he would not be candidate for the
U. S. senate or any other position.
The AL. was the originator of the
claim that Pettigrew was to be can
didate. In fact, it hoped that he
would be, and took occasion to throw
a fit every day or SO along that line.
No one but the Al. ever gave the
claim serious consideration, and this
interview is of interest only to that
paper which takes advantage of it to
let itself down easy from false posi-
ton. The AL. will be printing more
interviews of the same kind before
the campaign is over.

In the opinion of the Huronite, the
Crawford Gamble crowd in South Da-
kota is going to fight Secretary Taft
because Senator Kittredge favors him.
This strikes one as rather odd, be-
cause we We're told only short time
ago that all Of the Roosevelt republi-
cans in South Dakota were Crawford
men, and now we see this same bunch
| fighting against the man whom Pres
ident Roosevelt would like to see cho-
sen as his successor. Argus Leader.
The above is wonderful because it
contains SO much that isn't so. The
Crawford Gamble crowd" as the AZ
l.. is pleased to term the majority of
the republicans in this state, has Civ
en- no intimation of an intention to
fight Taft. At this early stage of the
campaign there is, however, some
very grave doubt as to whether Taft
will be a strong candidate much de-
pends on the political fight in Ohio.
There is also lingering suspicion
that both the Huronite and the Ar
gus-Leader would like to see the
South Dakota delegation pledged to
a man of little strength. II would
then be easier to turn the delegation
over to some new man, one who was
up in the interest of the s'system,"
one who was '.sane and safe" accord
ing to the ideas of Hartman, Rock
efeller, and others of that stamp. The
Crawford Gamble crowd is not fight
ing Taft, neither is it so foolish as to
tie absolutely to him at this time.
Let Taft first show that he is on the
list Of "availables."

IT is reported that the railroads
are working on new classification OF
freight If this is true, it simply means
that the railroads intend to boost
freight rates again. There is no
excuse for different classification,
except to reduce the class on some
kinds of freight where the rate has
been practically a "hold up" under
the guise of classification. Il will be
impossible to make the layman under
stand how the companies are entitled
to charge higher rates upon lumber,
coal, grain, or any other class OF
merchandise by simply and arbitrarily
placing the commodity under differ
ent classification. BY making this
pretended change the cost of trans
porting the commodity is not increas-

The cold weather experienced this
month has set some one to making
comparisons. The record for 1878
was the worst when Gen. Custer and
his regiment were showed under at
Yankton, the blizzard occurring on
the 10th. Also, in 1881, the snow
drifts were several feet deep near the
end of April.

AN "Open Letter to Crawford" is
the caption under which the machine
press are printing column article by
one Thomas Fitch, whom Gov. Craw-
ford removed from the soldiers home
board. Fitch swells up and demands
that the governor explain to him and

Glitch was removed In his notice
of removal the governor stated that IL
was for the best interests of the in
stitution, and especially as it would
be the duty of the board to investi-
gate complaints fled in the governors
office in regard to the management
OF the hospital. To an ordinary and
fair minded man such an explanation
would be sufficient. Governor Craw-
ford must answer to the people for
his administration, and what could he
say if he alloweda a board to investi-
gate complaints that might reflect up
on their management Could it be
expected that the board would find
anything wrong under their own
management AS the people hold
the administration responsible in these
matters so should the administration
be free to put in charge such men as
it would be willing to be responsible
for. But this does not satisfy Fitch
and he swells up like a toy balloon and

A PROMISING PRECEDENT.

Suppose that Great Britain should
install a navy yard at Toronto or Port
Stanley or Kingston and begin to
build half a dozen Dreadnaughts to
patrol and defend the Canadian lake
front. The least the business inter
ests of Chicago and Cleveland and the
rest of our lake communities could
ask would be seven American Dread
naughts d little bigger and better,
than the British six. Canada would,
of course have to meet the raise and
the United States would have to go
Canada little better until the great
lakes would be cloudy with warships
as the milky way Ia cloudy with stars.

Ontario one diminutive warship of

TELEPHoNING BY .ewIRELEss..

Last Friday evening a group of men
sat in the tower of the Times build
ing on upper Broadway, New York,
and listened to telephone messages
from a room at Thirty-n ninth and
Broadway. One Of the messages said,
Soon every up-to-date reporter will
be equipped with wireless telephone,
which he will ground with his heel In
the mud and through which he win
tell his city editor that the rumor
that Mrs. Blank has abandoned her
poodle dog is false
This prediction was not altogether
unwarrantcd, for the prediction itself
was telephoned without wires through
a mile or SO of agitated New York
atmosphere. When the messages had
been heard to full satisfaction the
apparatus was changed and the tele-
harmonium, which proposes to
put music on tap at the end OF
wire in any house willing to pay for
it, was heard likewise without the in
tervention of wires DR.. DeForest, the
author of the experiments, predicts
that soon telephone messages can be
sent to persons at sea, out of sight
of land. Imagination strains at these
developments, for who can be certain,
in view of these things so unthinkable
but yesterday, that these advances are
not closing the gap between what has
been called physical and what has
been called metaphysical; that i'm

necessary or even so much be required
