Would they hold their breath for

CARDS across the ocean from Norway's
mountain domes to a Norway town

tive home is Highland? Not long.
The silence of Highlands daughters,
Bro. Riversider, must be due to their

Taxation In South Dakota.

Sioux City Tribune: Campaign
material must be scarce in South Da-
kota this year. Newspapers opposed
to political progress and progressive
candidates In that state are trying
to make something out OF the propos-
ed amendment to article II OF the
constitution submitted TO the people
by the legislature last winter. The
constitution now forbids the levying
of a state tai by the legislature to ex-
coed 2 mills, except when such a
levy will not meet deficiencies and
current expenses. At such periods
the legislature may make a second
levy not to exceed 2 mills.
The amendment would remove the
limitation placed on the levy. The
Aberdeen News views the change as
one to unrestricted taxation" The
Aberdeen American replies that the
purpose Of the amendment is to n
able the legislature to tax the gross
earnings OF the railroads, which can
not be done under the rigid Limitation
now fixed. The people OF South Da-
kota are to say whether the amend
lment Is TO be adopted. II the stall
wart or the insurgent papers can find
any valid reason why It should not be
passed, it Is their duty to make it
known. The SUBMISSION OF a consti-
tutional amendment Is no political
matter. Even the legislature propos-
ing the amendment should not be
held responsible for II. 1t Is simply
passed on TO the people for a decision.
The Tribune Is inclined to believe
the amendment should pass. III It
would open the way TO q more equit-
able taxation Of railroad properties Of
the state that alone should he a suffi-
cient reason, in the absence OF objec-
lions. It. Is q rather remarkable I'M
dertaking foKsa constitution to limit
rates OF taxation and unusual among
states. The state has been trans
formed since the constitution was
framed and It's development Is only
begun.

ator Kittredge accompanied Secre-
tary Taft to Fort Meade; also that
he appeared ON the platform at Ia
coma park, Madison and Canton; and
it is reported that upon his return
LONE from Canton something out of
the ordinary occurred. Pulled up
over his seeming greatness and being
fearful that something might be left
undone that would tend to make the
people believe him as big as HE
thinks himself to be, he sent for his
hired man--the one who does the
editorial writing for his paper, the
Argus-Leader, who arrived in a
short time, when the following col
loquy is supposed to have taken
place:
Kittredge-CharIey, 1t begins to
the great / Am In South Dakota poll
tics. Is this right, or am l only
dreaming?
Day-Right you are, my master,
dllO uIiIiICd pC w II ulICo W VIC
pnte 1t.
And then the twain fell into each
others arms and wept foy joy. They
remained in this position for some
time, Kit blissfnlly rejecting upon
his greatness, and Day contemplate
ing upon how easy 1t is to fool the
people, when Kit was seized with a
sudden fear, and he said:
But, e here, Charley, they tell
me that there is a star rising out at
Pierre that would rob me Of mygreat-
ness by securing the position which
l now occupy in which case l would
cease to be Of any benefit to the cor
porations and our income from that
source would naturally cease. What
think you OF that, Charley"
Day-You have no need Of fear on
that score, my master. Don't yon re-
member that our tried and true friend
Charley Burke, is out there? We will
have him shoot him full Of holes"
Kittredge-Yes, i know, Charley;
but I'm afraid that Burke ran u Of
ammunition in the last campaign,
when he tried to shoot the insurgents
full Of holes, but failed. What will
we do in that case?
Day-Oh, well, never mind; you
know we still have your paper, the
Argus-Leader, to fight him with. !
will tell the people that Crawford is
a faker, a CRATER, a land grabber, a
demagOgue, and all that is bad. |
will also tell them that 1.-THE fight is
over"
Kittredge-Yes, / know, Charley,
that you will do all you a to help
me, and you did the same thing In
the last campaign, but the people got
onto yours curves, did not believe you,
and I'm afraid the result will be the
same next time.
Day--But you forget, my master.
We still have n more thing to fall
back m. The corporations know that
in you they have a staunch, true and
tried friend. They can depend upon
you, for you have served them well in
the past, and all you need to do is to
sound the alarm, and you a have
all the funds you want; and you
know, my master, that money makes

Kittredge-Well, | am glad, Char

suits; but you keep right on fighting,

LIGHT coLoRs FOR WINTER.
Pale Tinted Gowns Strictly In Order
For the Street.

1t really looks as though every wo-
man would be compelled to have one
pale dress for winter wear in the
streets. There is something so ele-
gantly smart about the pale tinted
gown. 1t looks new and it carries
with it an air of luxury which the
dark colored dress does not always
have. Then, beside these points, it
is very becoming to almost everybody
and there are few who can ignore
these things.
1T would surprise you," said mod
iste, were you to see the number
of handsome, light-colored voiles we
are making up for street wear. One
would almost think 1t were spring in
stead of late autumn and winter.
"One of our loveliest and newest
dresses is in pale tan volle with
lining of white taffeta The voile is
made with box plated skirt with the
plaits so arranged that there is plain
panel in the front and one In the
back The voile skirt falls over
foundation of white taffeta made
plainly, with little knife plating
around the foot. This gown. with an
Eton of tan voile, trimmed with deep
brown velvet, is one of the handsome
things of the autumn.
I'VE make great many ivory col
ored voiles now and not n few in
heliotrope. which is essentially fall
color. And, then, we are making up
our voiles in rose color and In green.
There is no end to the demand for
these thin materials. or course, for
the everyday street wear there is
more demand for checks, but for nice
wear one must have voile or some
other thin goods of the yelling fam
lily"

The organ recital and musical pro-
gram given at the st. James NJ. E.
church last Thursday evening was de-
cided success. The large and appreci-
ative audience which was in attendance
proved that Central City people have a
taste for music of highly classical
nature. The solos of Mr.. Adams Owen,
of Denver, greatly pleased the audience.
Prof. T. G. Taylor's work at the organ,
as always, was delight to all, demon
stating that an organist is not without
honor even in his own country. Great
credit is due Prof. Taylor for his enter
tainment and it is hoped that Others Of
like grade may be offered in the not
distant future.
Gilpin observer., 1907-05-02

"What is Success" was the interest
ing topic discussed by the pastor of the
Methodist church last Sunday evening.
The speaker said that the idea of sue
cess was not to be too intimately as
sociated with that of luck, fame or
wages. The amount of success which
anyone realizes may not be determined
from the amount of wages that he re-
ceives nor from the extent to which the
individual is widely known. Success is
realized when the worker is able to say
not there, that will be accepted by my
employer" but "there that is it" The
truly successful one has the approval of
himself upon his own work. THAT
man is happy who when there is ques-
ton Of success looks into his own work
for reply rather than into the market
or into patronage. The last point
which Mr.. Forester emphasized was
that no man may be spoken of as hav-
ing had true success unless he has made
it easier for others to be successful too.
