LANDSLIDE MENACE
TO SEVERAL HOMES

East Liverpool, May 13-A slip on
the hillside just above the tracks of
the East Liverpool Traction Com
pany west Of the Jethro bridge
threatens the destruction of at least
three houses located there. and it is
possible the crack in the earth will
extend to others.
The residence of Jacob Elwell was
abandoned early this morning, and the
family was able to remove all of the
household goods from the building. 1t
is now hanging over the edge of the
bank and will doubtless be demolished
when it falls onto the tracks of the
trolley system. The company sta
toned a watchman at the spot this
morning, and the condition of the
house is considered dangerous tc

shadow, but the real substance which
means industrial democracy"
The Democratic platform-makers
are accused of making that section
read: I'VE believe that the cure for
the supposed Ills of democracy is more
democracy; that TO the people belong
not the mere shadow of political au-
thority, but its substance"
The Socialist platform also con-
tanned tbese words: Believing in the
great principles of justice and self
government in industry, as we'll as
politices ."
The Democratic platform contains
the same thought in this line: "The
great principles of justice and self
government upon which the DEM
ocracy of Ohio is united ="
PROTECTION OF EMPLOYEES.
There are other points of similarity
between the two platforms. For in
stance, the Socialists declared: 1--WE
desire the protection of the workers
in shops, mines and factories \"
The Democratic platform says: 1--WE
favor the protection of employees in
shops, mines and factories 40
The Socialist platform declared:
1--WE are against child labor and in
| junction.
Since then the child labor bill was
Epassed. The Democratic platform
says: I'VE point to the child labor
law as Democratic measure, and de.
mand further legislation in this be,
half We favor the passage
of law limiting the power of judge:
to issue injunctions in labor dis
putes."
The Socialist platform read: "Wt
believe in direct legislation"
The Democrats put it in this way;
1--WE favor the initiative and refer
endum." John T. Bourke in Cleve

PLAGIARISM
CHARGED BY OHIO
SOCIALISTS
Claim Democrats Stole
PIanks of Platform
Cincinnati Leader Points
Out Sentences Which
it is Claimed Are Trans
ferred Almost Bodily
From Socialist Platform

Columbus, May 13.-Ohio Socialists
charge the Ohio Democracy with the
theft of their platform. If the So
cialistic platform of three years ago
was not stolen by the Democratic
state convention, it is declared, the
Ohio Democracy is guilty of plagiar-
ism.
NOTES LANGUAGE is PECULIAR.
Nicholas Klein, the Socialist leader
IN Cincinnati, makes the charge After
reading the Democratic platform
adopted last week he was impressed
that its language was familiar. He
searched through his papers until he
found a copy of the platform of his
party, adopted three years ago, and
which he wrote. The document was
headed, what We Socialists Want"
Mayor Tom L. Johnson is the touted
author of the Democratic state plat
form of 1908. Mr.. Klein says the So
cialists distributed $4,000 copies of
their platform of 1905 in Cleveland,
and that it would have been easy for
a copy to have found its way to the
Democratic platform builder.
COMPARES SECTIONS OF PLAT
FORMS.
Mr. Klein, to prove his contention
that the Democrats are trying to steal
Socialistic thunder, has prepared a
comparison of the two platforms with
the following result: ..
The Socialist platform Of three
years ago declared: "In the eternal
struggle between the many who pro-
duce more than they enjoy and the
few who enjoy more than they pro.
duce, we take our stand with the
many"
The Democratic platform of las
week reads: "In the eternal struggle
between the many who produce more
thai they enjoy and the few who en-
JOY more than they produce, Demo
cracy takes it's stand with the many
CURE IS MORE DEMOCRACY.
The Socialist platform declared
1--WE believe that the cure for all tn,

Booming Colorado Fair.

One of the best state fairs in re-
cent years Is to be held in Denver,
Colo, next fan according to present
plans which ire outlined in the fol-
lowing, received this week:
The entire country west of the
Missouri River will be benefited by
the first annual Colorado Interstate
Fair and Exposition to be held in
Denver, Septembe> f-l2. inclusive,
for the fair exhibition is designed o
display the products and industries
of that vast section of the United
States. However. the fair is open
to the world.
G. G. Fuller, acting secretary,
writes that more than $4,000 in
cash premiums will be offered, and
that the premium list is now ready
for distribution. Poultry will have
particular attention, the premiums
amounting to $2,420 in this depart
ment and there is a standard CLASH
ncation. MIR. Fuller also states that
entries are coming in rapidly and
thatthere is every indication that it
will be a fair that in its first year
will rank with the old state fairs of
the east.
The fair is backed by some of
the wealthiest men in the west.
Overland park, comprising 100 acres
within the city limits of Denver. has
been purchased as a permanent site
and $4,000 is to be expended in
this years buildings. Construction
has begun on these five buildings:
Poultry, 100xl25; agriculture, 100
x150; horses, 7~Sx2S5; horticulture,
130X15O and cattle. 7Sx2S5. Every
building will be thoroughly modern
and will be provided with every on
%venience, forming one of the most
complete set Of exhibition structures
in the country.

EnSland's New Premier.
Denver News. }

'S'
III health has done for the British
Tories what their owr best efforts
could not accomplish; i: has retired
Sir Henry Ca.1rhel' Bannerman
from the positioa # l.'tmic' No
doubt the disappearance from rolit-
;cal life of the cannv Scotch laird
is a source of JOY to HaAy A Philis-
tine soul in the tight ,itilc island.
Bnt the News tokcS leave 10 doubt
whether that plea SIRE will last very
long. For, in the first. place, Her
bert Asquith, the new premier, has
maintained the reputation of a
fighter and a clear cut politician
many times in the past, and may
fairly be trusted to do so again in
the near future. He has a long rec
ord of distinctly liberal politics
back Of him, he is less tainted than
many of his party by the socialism
which is making strides in England
of late; and Of all men in public
life, he SENS to offer the best refuge
from Toryism on one side and So
cialism on the other.
And for another reason, we be-
lieve that the swing of the British
people toward Liberalism has been
underestimate. 1t was a negative
sort of thing at first, we admit. 1t
was less concerned with getting
some things done than with the peo-
pie stopping the doing of certain
other things. The Liberal ministry
squelcher on Mr.. Chamberlain's pro-
was put in power, partly as a
lection theories and partly as a re-
buke to the blatant jingoism which
had almost made a protective tariff
necessary. Naturally such a minis
try would not have at first a very
clear or definite policy. But that
ministry has none the less done
much good work. Its choice, put
an end, for the time, to the protec-
ton business. Then it has stopped
the importation Of Oriental labor
into South Africa, made the con-
quered Boer governments once more
self-governing states, locked horns
with the house of lords, and made
some rather feeble attempts to put
common sense into the English
scheme Of publication. Not a heroic
record, perhaps. But it is so vastly
better than what went before it that
we fancy England will not be in a
hurry to make a change.

NOW FOR WORK.

BY a majority whose size must
be eminently satisfactory to its par
tisans, the Greater Rapid City ticket
carried everything before It, with a
single exception in last Tuesdays
municipal election and Chauncey L..
Wood win therefore be Mayor again
after a lapse of several years.
Within the next few days a new
council will take their seats and the
active work of the new administers
tion will commence.
In the platform of the successful
party it is noted that Rapid City is
In a transitory stage and the con-
ditions call for careful, conservative
and judicious consideration" on the
part of those interested in the pro-
gress of Rapid CITY. That the state
ment quoted above is a fact can
hardly be denied and much depends
on the n in which the incom-
ing administration will interpret
that plank.
Many problems will have to be
solved n difficulties surmOunted
during the next two years and only
a truly conservative, careful govern
ment can bring about the improve
ments and reforms needed in our
rapidly growing city. The success or
failure of the officers-elect in this
particular will ultimately prove or
diSDrOye the wisdom of the majority
in turning the city over to them.
Those who know Mr.. Wood best
assert emphatically that he is just
the man for mayor and will watch
over the city's fortunes in a most
able manner. Mr.. Wood has been
given the opportunity and his future
movements in building up a greater
Rapid City will be noted with
great interest.

but pasteuriZatiOn is in greater use.
But Mr.. Strauss long ago called
attention to one of the most discour-
aging facts about the publication
OF milk. This is seemingly that the
higher the breeding of the COW, the
more subject it is to tuberculosis.
The wilder animals, like the Indians
In their native state, seemingly are
better able to combat the disease.
Mr.. Strauss demonstrates this be-
yonddoubt by the examinations made
of splendidly bred herds, kept in the
most sanitary conditions.
There is but one way to destroy
disease germs in milk. and that is
by pasteurizing. Cleanliness itself
Will not permit the transmission OF
bacllli by a diseased COW and the
only safeguard is the heating of the
milk to 1G5 degrees and the sudden
cooling of it. When this is thor,
oughly understood and practiced, to,
gether with scrupulous cleanliness

As IMFollette Said.
NSiouX Falls Press

In his great speech showing that a
small group Of New York fnanciers
directed the recent panic" once it
was in motion, Senator LaFollette
said:
ION August %, 1907, the last call
before the panic, the New York
banks owed the other banks OF the
country a net balance Of over $41O,-
100000. The report for December
3 shows a reduction Of the balance
to about $38S,5O0,OOO With all the
pressure that they could bring 10
bear on New York $ National banks,
the other banks of the country were
unable to withdraw in time Of great
need more than about $2O,5O0O.O 900,
OF. about five per cent of their depos-
Its in New York. They would have
been unable to withdraw even this
amount had not the treasury in
creased United States deposits in the
National banks during this period
OYER $47,0U0,0 900. The ability OF
these group banks of New York
through their connected interests
to engage in underwriting, to finance

resulting. from over capitalization

THE FEDERAL BUILDING.

More or less reference has been
made lately to the bill providing APP
preparations soon to be taken up by
congress, which calls to mind the
fact that Rapid City is or should be
considerably interested in at least a
certain portion of the document re-
ferring to the erection Of a federal
structure in this city.
Until Senator Kittredge in the
curse of his remarks last week,
casually mentioned the proposed i'm
provement, but little has been pub
licly said regarding the matter
either to encourage or destroy the
hopes of those, who, realizing the
great need of a suitable public build
ing to house the various govern
mental departments, will be keenly
disappointed If some untoward mis-
hap should arise to defeat the bill
to the extent of turning the proposed
Rapid City appropriation down.
We do not know whether Mr..
kittredge found an. opportunity to
aoA IHS Y llihGSulll# lOI d pUSl-
Office in which Postmaster Barber
and his assistants are CALAMITY work.
Ing to keep abreast of the rapidly
increasing quantities OF mail passing
through the office, but provided he
did, the portly senator must have
realized the inadequacy of the pres
ent arrangement, especially If he es-
sayed to squeeze through the front
door at the same moment some hur-
ried citizen tried to get out or in.
A fine chance is extended some
present or future candidate for con-
gressional honors to secure the good
will OF this locality, by putting forth
their efforts toward securing the ap-
preparation needed for the federal
building that Rapid City wants and
needs so badly.
