The Divorce proceedings of Mrs.
Paul Gilmore will likely bring
ruling as to whether or not the law
extending the time of residence
from six months to one year will
affect those who have resided in the
state prior to the law becoming
operative. Mrs. Gilmore has been
a resident of South Dakota for
perod of eight months, but her case
was not tried until the new law was
in operation. At the completion OF
the testimony Monday Judge Nc
Coy held up his dec sion to ascer-
tain whether or not the new law
would cause Mrs. Gilmore and
others to remain in the state year
before they could commence that
action.
In his speech in New York City
asst Wednesday evening President
elect Taft said: Once the party has
adopted its Platform in convention
Ind has successfully gone before the
people on that platform, il becomes
he sacred duty of the executive, a
'acred duty of the leaders of the
IeDate and Of the house OF repre-
sacredly to carry out the
policies thus declared. Hence it is
hat in respect to the planks in the
chicago platform the stronger obi
,ations rest upon the many heads
4 the party, as it soon will come
nto power, and they should respond
nd see to il that the mandate Of the
,eople is carried out. The princi-
'al plank in the Chicago platform
vas the one which declared for
evision of the tariff at an extra
.ssion of congress to be called as
Don as possible after the fourth OF
daieh next. In that plank the
he standard by which the revision
ould be made was plainly laid
Town. 1t was agreed that the
evision should be made on the prin-
;iple Of protection, and that princi-
,le was defined further by the state
nent that the rates to be liked
hould he measure of the differ
nee OF the cost OF production here
md abroad, with reasonable profit
o the manufacturers. This decla-
alton devolved upon the party the
iuty of determining what is the
Inference in the cost of production
lere and abroad, and fixing a rate
which would provide reasonable
profit to the manufacturer. 1t is
he duty of the committee to make
in affirmative effort to find out the
,ost OF production here and abroad
ind revise the tariff accordingly. l
I'm protectionist, but l am not one
IL those who believe that the policy
il protection does not in large
iegree make trusts and monoplies
,asier OF existence. But the way to
stamp trusts and monopolies out is
not by destroying the whole pro-
Eective system. There have been
those in our party who did not care
how high the rates were fixed, but
HE Chicago platform showed by its
new definition Of proctecsivs polio,
that the majority Of our party
believe in definite revision i the
tariff az il now exists.
