Taxation of Stock Sales.

Among other subjects which will re-
ceive serious attention viii be the uues-
ton of taxing sales made on the stock
exchanges and while il is appreciated
that even an effort in this direction
may affect the market, there are a
number of senators and members who
attribute most of the disturbance in
the financial market to these specula-
tive processes and who would like to
make the road as rocky as possible for
them. 1t is too early, however. to say
whether such efforts at legislation will
be successful There will be some anti
trust talk, but the financial panic will
probably have the effect of curtailing
it to a considerable extent The Phil
ipptnes tariff bill and the bills for the
admission of New, Mexico and Arizona
as states will be- introduced early in
the session, and it is probable that all
of them will receive considerable at
tention, but not so probable that any
of them will become a law at this ses-
sion.

THiW CASE CALLED TODAY
Jerome Will Move Postponement and
the Attorney for the De-
> Tense Will Object.

New York, Dec. The second trial
of Harry K. Thaw will be called IN the
supreme court here tomorraN, but it is
generally believed that there will be a
rostponement of the case until after
the holidays. District Attorney Jer-
ome will request that such action be
tSker. Martin w Littleton, the new
leading counsel for Thaw, has an
iounced that he will oppose the motion.
This is done at Thaw's personal direc-
ton, the prisoner being impatient as
usual to have his day la court. Mr.
Littleton is not sanguins that his re-
quest for an immediate trial will avail.
Difficulty in securing a jury is an
ticipated, and Mr.. Jerome believes it
would be practically useless TO try to
empanel twelve men at this time. Each
juror would be confronted by the pros
pect of spending Christmas at some 10
eel. the guest of the county. The dis
trict attorney will also base his mo-
ton on the press of other work in his

Washington, Dec. NEARLY year
has passed since the election which de-
feated the proposition of joint state
hood, and I deem it my duty to report
the fact that public sentiment in Ariz-
Ona is now even stronger against joint
statehood with New Mexico than il
was last year." says Governor Joseph
H. Kibbey of Arizona territory, in his
annual report to the secretary of the
interior, made public today.
Territory Prosperous.
The report states that the last year
was undoubtedly the most prosperous
the territory has ever known. The
present population is given at approx
imately $4,000, including about $4,000

Democrats and the Tariff.

In his speech of acceptance last
night, Speaker Cannon intimated the
possibility Of some amendments to the
railroad rate law, and but for the dis
turbance in the money centers there is
little doubt that this would have been
undertaken during the session. 1t is
still possible that something may be
attempted in that line, but all plans
TO that end are now quite nebulous
The Democrats have already indicated
purpose of trying TO force the tariff
to the front, but the Republicans are
so largely in the majority I'm both
houses and are so well united in their
purpose of pOstponing action upon this

Baker VIII Flay Mrs. Bradley.

OuSly. nrmly, and yet kindly guarded
every approach to the buttresses of
the governments case.
Baker viii Fiay Mrs. Bradley.
He will picture Mrs. Bradley as a sell
fish lover, d covetous admirer of Ar
thur Brown, rather than a self-sacri-
ficing mother, who only desired a name
for her children. He will fay her for
apparently sane things done before and
after the shooting, and will in conclu-
sion press home to the minds of the
jurymen that they are trying the case
upon the law and not upon sentiment;
upon justice for the dead as well as the
living, and finally that they have
homes of their own, and that the tTag-
edy wherein two homes have already
been wrecked through unholy life be-
tween a man and woman, should not
end with the vindication of one of the
despoilers.
Judge Stafford will follow with a
charge which will probably consume
an hour, and by 5 o'clock it is be-
lieved that the jury will be given the
case.
Five Possible Verdicts.
There may be any one of five YER
diets: Guilty of murGer in the first de-
gree, meaning death penalty; guilty of
murder in the second degree, meaning
life imprisonment; guilty of man
slaughter, carrying with it a penalty of
from one to twenty years; not guilty.
meaning liberty for Mrs. Bradley; not
guilty by reason of insanity, which
may possibly mean another trial to
determine her present sanity.
OF these VerdiCts. public opinion
would indicate that the jury will eth
er acquit or disagree. A disagreement
will be considered a victory for the
government.
1t is expected that the charge of
Justice Stafford will not favor Mrs
Bradley, for he is known to be a dis
believer in emotional insanity and the
''unWritten law"

speech of Judge Powers tomorrow in

before in his long experience has there
been a more golden opportunity for

Certain it is that upon Judge Powers
is centered the hope of Mrs. Bradley
that the jury will set her free.
Opening Address by Mr.. Hoover.
The opening address of the day will
be bv Attorney George Hoover. He
has conducted much of the examina-
ton of witnesses. and upon him has
fallen much of the detail work in the

mainly with the evidence and its ia

The Prize Corn State

The agricultural and commercial
world which recognizes that ''corn is
king" was given strong reminder at
the National corn show in Chicago
that South Dakota must be reckoned
with among the great corn states of
the country, and the older states which
have held the record for years in pro-
ducing the cereal must look we'll to
their laurels or they will be left be-
hind by the young giant Of the north
west.
AT the National corn show, the
three most northerly states in the
corn belt, South Dakota, Minnesota
and Wisconsin, were classed together
to compete for sweepstake prize for
the best ten ears Of corn and the prize
was won by South Dakota. The ex-
hihitor who won this honor for the
state was A. j. Wimple, of near
RSSreSford, whose ten ears of yellow
dent corn won for him a quarter sec
tion of land in Texas, tive-ton wagon
scale, $50 in cash and a valuable
watch, besides winning for South
Dakota the distinction of leading the
old states of Minnesota and Wisconsin
in the quality OF corn production.
The winning of the prize is of vast
import ance to the state and the
Argus-Leader congratulates Mr.,
Wimple and the people of South Da-
kota on the outcome of the contest.
That he was enterprising enough to
properly prepare for and enter the
contest is to his credit and the winn-
ing of the sweepstakes over Minnesota
and Wisconsin is boost for South
Dakota, the effect of which will be
| farreaching. Many people further east
are unable to get over the impression
that South Dakota is not corn state
and the judgement of the awarding
committee at the National Corn Show
must forever dispel this impression.
| South Dakota farmers viii now be
encouraged to go after new records,
| The acreage of the cereal is rapidly
increasing in the state and in short
time the corn world will wake up to
the fact that not only i'm the quality
Of the corn produced, but In the acre
age and yield, South Dakota is a
| leader.
1t is significant to note that Mr..
Wimple is thorough corn student
and has not scorned to avail himself
of all the scientific knowledge that
he could obtain on the growing of
corn. He has watched the expert
ments in corn culture for years and
has made studNof the business Vt
raising corn, giving great care to de-
tail and broadening out his knowl-
edge and experience as much as is
done in any other business profession.
South Dakota takes on new i'm
portance in the eyes of the world in
the light of the recent competitive VIC
tory. 1t should add dollars to the
value of every farm in the state and
have stimulating effect on the al
ready vast and increasing movement
of homeseekers and capital In this
direction. Mr.. Wimple, of Beres.
ford, is entitled to the thanks of the
entire state for the splendid showing
he made for South Dakota at the
