send any communication to the S
D. legislature asking that honora.
BILE body to endorse any of Roose
velt's acts? If not, why not? Il
there is no record of such things
does it not look rather doubtful
about the senator's endorsement,
of the Roosevelt policies?
If the stalwarts do so many things
for the common people, why is it that
bill after bill which was introduced
during their last administration
was put to rest in some dusty old
pigeon-hole never to be brought out
again?
No, we do not think that Sen
Kittredge ever sent such commu.
nication to the legislature for the
simple reason that he has good
sense enough to not try to dictate
to the state legislature while hold
ing a position as U. s. senator
Does the Clarion mean to insinu-
ate that Mr.. Crawford, if elected
senator, would do such thing,
and thus violate that famous anti
lobby law that he takes 30 much
credit for2
It is also doubtless true that
many bills were put to rest by the
last administration for the reason
that many bills ought to be put to
rest. But why was Representative
Trumbo's mileage bill put to rest
by the insurgent senate committee
in the last legislature? Why was
every other mileage bill put te
rest2 Why was every bill for the
reduction of freight rates put tc
rest?

To Our Subscribers.

By an order of the postoffice de-
partment, publishers of weekly
newspapers are denied the right to
send their papers as second class
mail matter to any subscriber WHO
is more than one year in arrears
on his subscription. This order
has however been modified by a
ruling as follows:
"Where publisher extends
credit upon express request OF the
subscriber for definite period of
time, combined with promise t.,
pay, it would be held that copies
in fulfllment of such renewal could
be continued to be sent at the us
ual second class rates, except in
cases where it appeared that an
abuse of the second class mailing
privilege resulted
In compliance with these rulings
we must ask our subscribers who
are more than one year in arrears
to kindly remit in order to avoid
the extra rates of postage. If this
is inconvenient at the present time,
then please send written request to
continue the paper with promise to
pay in the future.

Crawford Wins in Scotland.

The primary election in Scot
land on Tuesday was good natured
but spirited and as the result show
ed, considerably one-sided. If
there was a republican voter re-
siding in the precinct who did not
vote it was because he was away
from home or too sick to be car
ried to the polls. There was no
contest among the democrats SO
their vote was light, only about 25
votes being polled, but by the re-
publicans all previous records were
broken and a total vote of 24l was
polled. The result showed ISL
straight votes for the Crawford fac
ton, IS for the Kittredge faction,
/ spoiled and II mixed.
Reports from other portions of
the county show that Tyndall has
gone for Crawford without opposi-
tion, Avon for Crawford by 5 ma
jority, and Springfield for Kit.
tredge by 10 majority. This means
that Crawford has the county by a
safe majority.
The returns from the various
counties as given in the Argus
Leader this morning show that the
insurgent element will control the
state convention by small ma
jority. While the vote shows gains
for the stalwarts in nearly every
county, and several counties car
ried in 1906 by the insurgents were
this time carried by the stalwarts,
the gain was not sufficient to
change the result in the state.
Minnehaha, Dawson and Grant
counties, insurgent last year have
been carried by the stalwarts,
while Charles Mix, Kingsbury and
Sphinx, all insurgent, have this year
divided the delegation. Not a
| county last year held by the stall
warts has been lost. Faulk is still
in doubt, and Codington has been
carried by Glass for congress, but
| will 90 to Crawford If he will drop
| Congressman Parker and endorse
Glass. The city of Madison went
| stalwart in every ward, but the
country vote held Lake county for
the insurgents by 20 votes.
Of course the deciding test OF
strength between the Kittredge and
Crawford following will come at
the June primaries, but the elec
tion of Tuesday was an expression
of the present sentiment and will
have its influence in determining
the final outcome. We have advo-
Gated the reelection of Sen. Kit
tredge, not from any selfish or per
sonal interest for we have none,
but from a conscientious belief
that the services of Sen. Kittredge
in tie United States senate would
be of vastly more benefit to ou1
state during the next six years
than would Mr.. Crawford's. This
opinion is based upon what we be.
lieve is a careful study of the rec.
ords of the two men in their off
cial capacities during the past fif
teen years, and whatever the re.
suit of the vote may be, while we
are willing to accept without 8
murmur the decision of the major,
ity and trust that those who think
differently will do the same, ou1
private opinion will remain the
same until the record of the gen
tlemen shall convince us to ths
contrary.

contrary,

Sen. Kittredge has declared his
opposition to the Aldrich currency
bill now before congress. What
will the Sioux City Tribune do
now? 1t has been opposing the
Aldrich bill, and it certainly will
not acknowledge that Kittredge is
right on any proposition.

gretted that any one who is aspir-
ing to be TEACHER should al
low himself or herself to attempt
to alter the markings upon the

estly endeavor to secure a certifi-
cate. This is, also, extremely un-
wise az records of these standings
are kept in the offices of both the
county and the state superintend-
ents.
The Horace K. Turner Art Col
lection will be on exhibit at the
high school in Tyndall on April LIST
to 4th inclusive. This is an excel
lent opportunity to see some of iile
very best pictures at very low
cost. No teacher who can ar
range TO come should miss seeing
this exhibit. These pictures are
copies in color of the worlds great
est productions aud are equal to
those of many of the art galleries
of the larger cities. Plan to see it.
The admittance will be very small.

Cotton Spinninq Ecats.

"Sea island cotton is the best kind"
said a southerner. 1T is finer and
silkier than any other cotton in the
world. A pound of it can be spun into
4,170 miles of thread For an expert
ment once in the English town of
Manchester skilled spinner spun Il
pound Of sea island cotton into sin
gle thread 1000 miles long. Then for
another experiment he took another
pound of cotton and spun it into as
many hanks as he could get. He got
10000 hanks in all. and the yarn in
each measured $40 yards. Thus, out
of a pound of cotton 4.77O miles of
yarn was produced. This yarn, though.
was too fine to be of any practical
utility Those two experiments made
a superb experiment for the cotton of
the south. COurier-JOurnal
