Fair Play pitted against the very best
that England can produce. It woulu DC
race of the most pronounced Importance,
for never before has there been an Amer
lean invasion SO strong as this.
If both were sent to the post In the same
condition that they have shown on this
side of the Atlantic. 1t is safe to venture
that hundreds of Americans would make
the trip across the water to see the con-
test.
Whether Colin goes depends entirely
upon the result of consultation of veteri-
narians. James Rowe, the trainer OF the
horse. and Mr.. Keene. Colin has SHOWN
a little weakness in spots. owing to his
great speed and the constant training
he has had to keep him in trim for the
many races of this year and last.
Colin for England.
If it is believed that Colin will stand
the strain of training he will undoubtedly
be shipped to England. as there will be
little for him to earn on this side of the
Atlantic. no matter how favorable the
prospects look for racing. 1t is thought
that Colin will be more likely to stand
training in England than he would here,
diving to the work being done on soft
grass cushion. which is not so severe
on horse with the speed of Colin.
The Ascot Cup Is over course of some
thing like two and quarter miles, which
will suit both Colin and Fair Play. If it
should be that Fair Play goes to the post
the probabilities are that he will be ridden
by the American rider, Danny Maher.
If his services can be procured. Colin
will no doubt be placed in the hands of
Sam" Darling, the English trainer. as
Mr.. keenes home interests will require
the services of Mr.. Rowe in this country.
John E. Madden is sending his two
colts. Sir Martin and Fayette. on the
same steamer with Mr.. Joyner. They will
be trained by Joyner, and there is every
chance for them to run in the Whitney

have not been purchased by Whitney.

HARVARD IN BETTER
SHAPE THAN RIVALS
Players Are a Week Ahead of
Others in Condition-Prince-
ton Feels Better-Big
Games Coming.
By E. r. Bushnell.

That all of the big foot ball teams Of the
east are weaker this year than last. with
the possible exception of Harvard. has
been conclusively demonstrated by the
games played to date. Prior to yester-
days contests Cornell was the only mem
Der of the big Five whose goal line
had been crossed, but both Princeton and
Pennsylvania had been scored on with
field goals. while all Of the teams had
been held to very low scores. even by
minor teams. This is no doubt account
ed for by the severe losses which all the
big teams experienced from graduation
and other causes. At the same time the
teams in question have been making POSI-
tive progress. which is much better for
their final success than coming along
with too great a rush.
Up at Harvard the enthusiasm over the
team knows no bounds. Unfortunately for
the Crimson, however this is likely to
prove the forerunner of some catastrophe
If history repeats itself. There is no
doubt that the Harvard eleven has been
rushed faster than any other team In
the east. Even during the preliminary
training the eleven had two practices a
day, while the other teams were content
Ing themselves with one. This rushing
has continued, with the result that the
Harvard team is now probably week
ahead of any Of her rivals. This Is shown
by the difference in scores Of the games
played between Princeton and the Spring
field Training School and Harvard and
Springfield. The Tigers won by only the
score of 16 to 0. while Harvard rolled up
total Of A points. In this connection 1t
should be noted that in the first half.
when the regular Harvard eleven was in
the field, 80 points were scored. In the
second half the substitutes had the field

tion with the maximum of appropria
tions, as if they were fixed expendi-
lures.
But, supposing for the moment that
the cost of the Crawford administra
tion would reach the impossible sum
of 81, ,721 900, as the democrats say,
what does that mean?
From 1898 to 1908 the assessed valu.
alton of all taxable property in South
Dakota increased from $llS,580, ,496
to S2S3, 3,696, ,268, or 140 per cent.
From 1898 to 1908, even accepting
the democratic figures as 10 the Craw
ford administration, the expenditures
increased from $4,000 to ST, ,72l, 900,
or only 81 per cent.
So, according TO the figures of th
democrats themselves, the cost of the
state government has increased in ten
years only little more than half as
much as the state has grown.
The republicans seem willing to al
low the democrats to make the most
of such facts.

just as much in state taxes as the tax
payers Of 1908.
The man with farm assessed at
Sl5, 900 in 1898 paid S45 in state taxes.
And, likewise, the man with farm
assessed at $4,000 in 1903 paid S45 in
state taxes. Where is the difference?
What conclusion can be made from
this record TO warrant the use of the
word "honest' as distinguishing Mr.
Lee from present public officials?
For the four years of Lees admins
tration, 1898, 1899, 1900 and 1901, the
average state tax levy was II mills.
For the two years of Crawford's term,
the average is three mills. Here is a
difference of exactly 30 cents per ST.

ture appropriated almost 100000 for
permanent Improvements at state
institutions and authorized con-
tingent fund of 100000 for payment
of the cost of building the new capitol.
If it had not been for these special ex-
penditures, any student in arithmetic
would known, the state tax levy under
Crawford would have been less than
under Lee.
Democratic newspapers of the state
are making concerted publication of
the following comparison of expendi-
tures:"

1899 99............S 826, TIA
Under Governor Lee, 1899 to
1901 917,3S0
Under Governor Crawford,

In the first place, no man knows
what the expenditures Of he Crawford
administration will be. IL has not been
finished. Not until this year has pass
ed will it be known how much has
been spent. But it is known that the
legislature always appropriates more

certain reasons which we do not think

if the majority of the county should
be for license, is absolutely wrong. 1t
is not fair in the least. 1t can only
be justified by the claim that the end
sought is of such Importance as to
Justify almost any means. And that
brings the matter down to the moral
issue of whether or not one favors the
licensed sale OF intoxicating liquors.
The fight should be made without
any fimsy pretext of saving taxes.
The straight issue of prohibition
would be better, for that is what is
expected the new county option law
will lead to. The voter who wants
the licensed sale of liquor should vote
"no", and the voter who wants to do
away with the saloons as a matter Of
principle should vote "yes." The ar
gument of lower taxes, whichever
side uses it, is all bosh.

WHILE the guarantee of bank de-
posits is catchy issue with the peo
pie, and has much of merit in it, it is
an issue of only minor importance in
this campaign. The loss accruing to
the people of the country through the
failure of banks is so very small as
compared with the loss to the people
through excessive freight charges Tia t
the former hardly casts a respectable
shadow. And right here is one of the
great differences between the republi-
can and democratic parties. Bryan
is shouting for the guarantee of bank
deposits here in the west where it APP
peals to the people, and in the east
he talks about the sovereign right of
the individual state TO regulate rail
road traffic. Bryan knows that the
courts all hold that the state can only
regulate such traffic as begins and
ends within the statea portion of
the traffic that does not amount to
more than one hundreth part of the
whole freight traffic. On the other
hand the republican party advocates
the federal control of interstate trans
portation, which is the only way it
can be regulated. Every man, woman
and child that produces wealth, or
consumes the necessities of life, must
pay tribute to the railroads because

AT the recent meeting of the State
Medical Association held at Yankton
it was voted to expell from the associ-
alton any physician or surgeon who
gave or received rebates on surgical
operations. 1t has been openly charg-
ed that some physicians would induce
patients to go TO the hospital for al
operation and that the physician
would receive half of the few charged
for the operation. One surgeon pres
ent at the meeting admitted that he
had been compelled to give rebates.
By the adoption of this rule it is not
to be understood that all physicians
have been guilty of the practice, but
rather that the great majority desired
to force the few to abandon the dis
honest practice, and to raise the
standard of morality among the
practitioners. 1t is well that the
association took the initiative, instead
of waiting for the public.

WHAT THE RECORD SAYS.

Much is to be said of Honest"
ANDY Lee in the state campaign, and
emphasis is to be put on the word
honest This is not for the purpose
of defending Mr. Lee, but to cast
aspersions upon his opponent, says
the Sioux Falls Press. 1t is supposed
that, with sufficient reference to the
fact that Lee is an "honest" mantle
least that any public official should
be the hint will be taken that the
present governor of the state and he
who seeks to succeed him, are dis
honest. In other words, this is in
tended to be genteel way of calling
the present governor and state officials
and members of the Legislature, a big
band of robbers.
But what are the immutable facts?
In the year 1898, the first of Lees
administration, every tax payer in the
state was asked to pay So for each ST.
600 worth of property, as state taxes.
In the year 1908, under Governor
Crawford, each property owner Of the
state is asked to pay 50 per $1,000 of
property in state taxes, or exactly the
same rate as fixed by the first Lee ad-
ministration.
In other words, every tax payer in
1898 paid, in proportion to his wealth,

Factory Inspector BIakeIy
Says That Iron Fire Escape
Should Be Constructed at
High School Building.
SCHOOL BOARD WILL
COMPLY WITH ORDER.
Willingness Is Shown to Do
Everything Possible to Pro-
tect the Lives of Little
Children of City.

Only one recommendation to i'm
prove the condition of the public
schools of this city has resulted from
the visit of the deputy inspector John
Fitzgibbons. President NJ F. John
ston. Of the school board has received
a communication from W E. BlakeIy
chief factory and building inspector,
instructing the beard to place an iron
fire escape on the exterior of the east
wall of the high school building. The
board will comply with the order i'm
mediately and the contract will be let
for the work at once.
1t is recommended that the fire es-
cape be so constructed as to take in
the middle window in the auditorium,
east side of the building. third floor
with fOrty-tWo inch balcony and
twenty-one inch iron stair way run
ming north taking in the window in
the hall in the second floor with a
forty-twO inch balcony and twentT-One
inch stairs extending from there to d
ground landing. Doors are to be pro-
vtded at both balconies, which shall
not be less than thirty-six inches wide
and swing outward.
Just why the inspector should re-
commend change at the high school
building and no other is a matter of
conjecture. This probably is due to
the fact it is the only three story pub
lie school building in the city in which
the three floors are in use at all
times. Several other buildings are in
less complete condition than the high
school structure. This building has
three flights of stairs leading from
the auditorium on the third floor and
all are conve nientIy located so that
the room may be emptied quickly.
The main stairway is unusually wide
and beside this, there is stairway
stage in front. With these means OF
exit and a fire escape the hall will
become one Of the safest in the city.
The fact that the inspectors report
makes no reference 10 any other build
ing is indication OF the good general
condition Of the schools Of the city,
Upon the completion of his visit Mr..
Fitzgibbons said he had found the
buildings in unusually good shape He
declared that some OF the older build
ingS really are safer than those con
structed in recent years. because OF
the fact they are provided with two
stairways. The school board has
shown a willingness 70 do everything
possible to improve the buildings and
guarantee the safety of occupants
All outside doors swing outward and
