For every dollar farmers and bus.
mess MEN spend for passenger fare
they pay fifty or hundred TO
freight on their products out or for
freight on their commodities one
way or both. The performers" say
nothing about reducing freight rates.
Senator Kittredge is pledged to
reduced freights. Freight. rates are
higher in the state today than they
have been for many years, through
reclassifcation. The senator pro-
poses to regulate classification of
commodities by federal law.
The republicans want peace, but
not peace at any rate. So long as
defamatory utterances are hurled at
Senator Kittredge, Burke and Elrod
by the governor of the state, so long
as the lieutenant governor continues
his TRADE of abuse upon all the
leaders of the stalwart faction pleas
for peace come with but poor grace.
The fact OF the matter is that the
stalwarts prefer defeat to peace and
political utilization with band of
character assassins and political
highwaymen.

from Watertown, s. d., about ten days
ago to visit. She said that her husband

all of his spare time in Miss Jenkins

NEWSY STATE NOTES.

No new town in South Dakota has
had greater mushroom growth than
Dallas, which has been in existence
about eight months. The attraction
has been the prospective opening next
October of the million acre reservation
in Trip county to settlement. Dallas,
being the gateway to the reservation,
has attracted nearly 1000 persons. 1t
has two banks, six large stores and
numerous small ones, four hotels, three
restaurants and two newspapers. The
registration will begin in August and
filing in September, aud the principal
land Office will be at Dallas. An extern
sive system Of waterworks is being con-
structed, and the place, which year
ago was virgin prairie, promises to be q
city of several thousand by the end Of
another year. The million acres to be
thrown open next fall comprises another
slice Of the Rosebud reservation, and
one railroad line has extended into the

CURRENT EVENTS.
Clipped from the Exchanges Which
Come to Our Table.

Come to Our Table.
The record of the trans Atlantic
steamship lines show that for the
first forty five days during the pre-
sent year the number of incoming
foreigners was 22,S39, while those
returning for the same period
reached total of S7,443. The
incoming figure is 249 per cent less
than for the corresponding period in
1907, while that for the outgoing
travel was 1853 per cent.
1t is reported that the Crawford
people have about decided to drop
Col. w. HI. Parker, member of con-
gress from this state, since the New
Years incident in the white house,
and to throw to Glass instead. Thus
if the insurgents should win, the two
congressman from the state would
come from adjoining counties, and
the Black Hills would be wholly with
out representation. This is one of
the transcendent beauties of Mr.. Craw-
ford's high priced primary law.
When one considers the contempt
in which Secretary Taft was appar-
emily held by the insurgent press in
South Dakota after his visit to the
state last year, and the sighting
remarks which have constantly been
made referring to him, the recent
flop of the insurgents to his support
can scarcely be considered less than
band wagon vault of frightened
faction endeavoring to save itself
from utter humiliation. The man
ner in which the insurgents have
misrepresented the attitude of the
stalwart members of the state COM
mittee relating to the endorsement
of Secretary Taft makes them sub
ject to the contempt of every lover
of fair play and the square deal

mind that this is going on all over
the state. When public officials use
the peoples stamps and stationery to
promote factional interests, it is time
for the voters to wake up and take
ok-they have it coming"
While Crawford is going about the
state campaigning for the United
States senate and trying to explain
away what my legislature" did and
what it did not do, still the fact
remain that we have
Same freight rates.
Same passenger fare.
Same express rates.
Same favoriteism to Standard oil.
Same and higher telephone rates.
More public offices.
No interest to state on its funds.
Capitol building delayed and
records open to fire.
No state stone in capitol building
or even the heating plant building, a
separate structure.
Greater waste in public expenses.
Neglect of daty by public officers.
These are some things Mr.. Craw-
ford and his satalites promised
changes in. But they did not
attempt to bring about the changes,
but worked to defeat the enactment
of some laws that would have
resulted benefcially to the people.
The Canistota Clipper, an insur-
gent paper says that Messrs. Burke
and Martin are greater credit to
the state out of congress than Hall
and Parker are in congress. Mr..
Hall and Mr.. Parker's weaknesses
were well known before they were
elected to congress. The people of
Brookings knew about Halls life.
The people of the Black Hills knew
Parker's life. He had lived in the
Hills for years and had thrown away
promising life for his love for
strong drink. Some ten years ago
he reformed and to his credit be it
said he was oD the high road to sue
cess and was rapidly winning back
the respect Of his people. If at
Washington he has fallen before his
old enemy it is to be regretted.
Parker is naturally man of honor
and refinement, and none regret to
learn that he has fallen more than
the writer. Hall is a man of differ
ent type than Parker; he has never
reformed nor has he made any
attempt in that direction.
The crazy claims made by the
insurgents would indicate how much
reliance can be placed on any state
ments by them Witness the fol-
lowing from the Aberdeen Ameri-
can: "The battle on March 10,
1908, will be the battle Of the com
mon people against special interests.
1t will mean more to the county
than the battle of 1860, when
Abraham Lincoln was elected presi.
dent" And this from the Webster
World. "None Of the great reform
governors, Roosevelt, La Toilette,
Hughes, Cummins or folk accom-
plished SO many things for the pub
lie good in so short a time as Gov
ernor Crawfort Of this state" Sounds
a good deal like the claim of Dowie
who, in the height of his glory,
declared that he had accomplished
more in his short ministry than
Jesus Christ did in the time he
spent on earth. And Crawford
stands in about the same relation to
the great men named as Dowie did
to the Master of the universe.

Justification of the business methods
of the Standard Oil company of Ohio

According to the testl nony OF
SQuiers, the Standard Oil company of
Ohio was the pioneer oil distributing

did the Standard retaliate by making
the cuts in prices.
As for the operating of the Cleve-

Standard Oil company there has
never been any attempt on the part
of the Standard to deny ownership Of
the Cleveland company, he said. The

FUNERAL Of REV.
|. R. k|)fUS
OF PEOPLE ATTEND
OBsEQUIEs OF LATE PASTOR
OF METHODIST CHURCH.

The funeral Of Rev. L. r. Kufus,
late pastor of the Methodist church
OF this city is being held this aftcr-
noon. The seating capacity is taxed
to the limit with those who have
come to pay tribute to the memory OF
a man whose life in this community
was one of pure devotion for those
with whom he lived. Few there are
who live nobler and more unselfish
life than did Lauren r. Kufus, and
few ministers are there who have Sc.
cured stronger hold upon the peo-
pie than he did with those amid
whom he labored.
The funeral sermon is being de-
llvered by Rev. Walton Skipworth,
presiding elder of The Dalles.
Lauren r. Kufus was born in Wa
pellO, Louisa county, Iowa, Septem-
|ber 3, 1876, and moved with his pa
rents to Mt. Vernon, 8. d., in 1885;
thence to Pipestone, Mimi, and from
there to Burton, Mont.
He joined the Montana Conference
in 1899, his first charge being at Du-
|puyor, Mont.
He was married to Miss Anna
White in Glasgow, Mont, January
10, 1901, and to them were born three
children, TaEma, Gretchen and little
Lauren.
Their first work together was at
Malta, Mont. From there they went
to Havre, Mont, and then to Lynd,
WASH, from whence they came to
Wenatchee in September, 1903, serv-
ing faithfully this people for four
years.
They were then sent to The Dalles,
Ore, where his last year of service
was spent.
They returned to Wenatchee to at
tend conference, and from here he
was called home September 20, 1908.
The faithful wife, three children,
father, two brothers and one sister
are left to mourn his departure, his
mother having preceded him twenty
three years ago. ~@s =

campaign for the eradication of chol-

time intervening was short, he still
had considerable. hope that Manila
will be clean when the fleet comes.
The campaign instituted by the
