The political situation down in
Ohio is to be simplided this week by
the definite announcement of Secre-
tarY William H. Taft as to his
candidacy for presidential honors.
Mr.. TaAis back on bis home ground,
but UP to the present, time he has
said nothing abont presidential
possibilities so far as he is concerned.
The secretary has made several
speeches already but in each instance
he has had. nothing to say along
political lines. After his announce
ment of his candidacy then will
come the long hard fight With
Foraker for the control Of the Ohio
delegation for the national conven-
tion Which will win is a matter of
much conjecture, as there are two
elements in Ohio to be figured on.
President Roosevelt Is strongly back

farewell dinner in New York:
"The only drawback to a tropical
winter is the flies. In the hot sun of a

You see them in the corners of the
eyes of native children. and men lie
asleep in sunny places with flies crawl

The natives don't mind the flies. In
fact, they like them. At a boori. or
native inn. in the Sahara a traveller
said to the waiter, pointing indignant
ly at his stew of barley and goats
flesh:

couscous?'
Monsieur replied the waiter, Il

TIE Sioux City Journal 10 cam,
mentins OF SOME OF tie policies OF
President Roosevelt and the con-
ncction or Senator kittredee's ideut.
aiicatiun with them, pays the South
Dakota senator a splendid compli-
ment in associating him with Sec
rotary Taft In the past year
Senator kittredge has taken a higher
place in the things that are done in
this country than any delegate who
has yet been sent to Washington,
and he is bringing the state into
greater prominence as a result. The
following is the comment of the
Journal:
There is reason to believe that
Senator kittredge is occupying him
self in placid temperament and with
intelligent mind. South Dakota, so
far as is known, has no candidate
Tor president or for vice president.
but it is not without ambition. 1t
has beer given out, upon what ap-
pears to be authority, that President
Roosevelt has great confidence in
South Dakota. II the report is not
misleading, he regards South Dakota
as one of the states that Will stand
without hitching. 1t is the duty Of
measure up to tue confidence reposed
in it, and to prove Disappointing
would be inexpIessiblv sad. The
president has enough.to do without
Watching South Dakota. This is
Senator kittredge'S idea. He knows
what the presi lent wants and what
the president wants the senator is
after. The senator has turned his
back broadly upon every fight that
does not involve a living principle.
He Illustrated this the other day
when a forward correspondent sought
to stir up members and draw him
out on the canal. 81 regard the
question OF the type OF canal,' said
the senator with becoming dignity.
las one which congress has definitely
settled, once for all, by the adoption
OF the.S5-foot level lock canal" 1heI
president will not object that he
said congress had settled, it for the |
president does not wish 10 denv that
this is a government of divided
responsibilities. But this is only a
straw.
Senator Kittredge is taking a large
place in the promotion OF the presi-
dents policies. In some respects he !
Is nearly as weighty a man as Secre-
tary Taft. 1t is well to remember!
that the business in hand just now
is to develop and encourage senti-
ment in behalf of the war secretary |
for the Roosevelt succession. The
chance is open for South Dakota to
take leadership in the Missouri
valley in holding up the hands of the
president. 1t is a great opportuni-
ty to improve it. It may, if it will,
set a figure for the group of states,
it has been thouhgt Iowa has.done
In years past.
The door is open to South Dakota.
1t has a chance to mark a distinc-
tion between 1896 and 1908 that is
not available to any other state in
the union. This is more than the
prospect of a single Office. n yet
it suggests the way to more than
one ofice-including places i'm the !
cabinet board.
Why not insist that it is a beauti.
full spring with nc clouds in sight?I

North Dakota is asking for help
not In the way OF s~ustenan g but
of men who can help the farmers get
in their crops. The long and cold
winter in that state had the effect
OF driving the laooring class u and
they have not gone back for spring
work. The absence OF help will be
bad as the wintty conditions
which have just about disappeared.

WHO IS WAsHINGT0NS MAYOR
Fair Foreigner Writes for His Pic
ture and Autograph.

Who is the mayor Of Washington?
Evidently unaware that the District of
Columbia is governed by a Board of
Commissioners, Mrs. r. z. Boyd. of Mon
tr1al. has addressed a letter TO that Off
cial. requesting that ne forward a post
card view of the city hall. with his
name and address, and the year 1906, or
1917. written on the face Of the card.
I am making collection Of post
cards" says Mrs Boyd. for what 7
designate my album Of mayors. When
1 get nay album filled I think it will
look both unique and original. The cards
that I have already received look very
pretty in the album. I hope that you
will crafty my request and help me to
pass a pleasant time in making the col
lection"
Commissioners Mcfarland West, and
Biddle, being all men of modest dispose
ton. are unwilling TO claim the honor
After a conference it was therefore de-
cided to submit the question to DR.. Tin
dali. secretary Of the board. who has an
unrivaied reputation for settling prob
lens with which the Commissioners are
at times confronted.
Or. Tindall declined to be interviewed
on the subject, saying 1t was one which
required the utmost discrimination
Whether post cards bearing the names
of all three Commissioners will be COR
varied, or whether only enc will be Sc
lected to add to d unique and original
collection, remains to be seen.
