Some Interesting Facts
About the Doings Of the Last Legis-
lature, From the Pen of the Hon.
Frank Trumb0, q Member and
candidate for Reflection
From Charles Mix Co.

From Charles Mix Co.
Regarding the accuse ton
made that the last session of the
legislature was extravagant in
appropriations, l wish to say
that there was not dollar of
appropriation that was not alb
solntely necessary. | believe
am competent to make this
statement, as l was constantly
in attendance and studied the
needs and necessities of our
state institutions thoroughly,
from the reports of the several
institutions.
The committee on appropria-
tlons was composed of honest,
conscientious business men
from both parties, and they
were seve raj weeks considering
the appropriations, and the
members of the committee of
both parties agreed upon them
IS only just and right as asked
for by the different state insti-
tutions, the appropriations be-
ing mainly for additional build
ings, equipage, etc. in order that
= they might have room for the
increase of pupils at the differ
ent nor NAL scho OILS, and univer.
sity, and insane asylum at Yank-
ton. The following were the
appropriations for state ms titu-
tiOnS:
State capitol building 5000. 900
Addition to Normal School,
Aberdeen-$6O. 900
Girls Dormitory, Brooking s
$4,000
Law Building, Vermillion-
$4,000
laboratory, Rapid City-$16.
500
Spear6sh Normal School
100000
Intirmary, Yankton Asylum
SAC, 500
Soldiers Home, Hot Springs
$4,000
State Fair Building-$35 900
And other state institutions
received smaller amounts for
their improvements. but every
dollar they received was abso-
lutely necessary. and so con-
sidered by the appropriation
committee. And the mem bers
of both parties comprising the
com mittee should be commend
ed for their effort to do justice
to these worthy demands.
Every memper Of both parties
Republicans and democrats)
voted for these appropriations,
and they were considered jus t
and right. Whatif we had re-
fused these appropriations?
There would be hundreds of
children seeking an education
and no provision for them to get
it. How about the old soldiers;
the men we should love and
honor? Numbers would be
seeking admission to tho Home,
and no place for them. All
other institutions the same.
Now ! want to say to the peo-
pay no attention to the charges
about high and unnecessary
appropriations, because there

Instead give the members Of
the legislature of 1907, both re-
publicans and democrats, credit
for having manhood and brains
enough to do justice to the de.
serving demands Of these insti
tutions. Then other states will
look upon South Dakota and say:
There is q state that can we'll
take care Of her own. While it
costs quite a sum to maintain
these institutions there is not
a loyal citizen in the state who,
for the sake of q dollar or two
will see any of our educational
institutions closed up, our child
rem kept from a chance for an
education and onr old soldiers
turned away from the Home.
There is no tax / have to pay
that l pay so willingly as | do
my school tax. Perhaps this is
because / never had the chance
to get an education when l was
young. When first settled in
Daokta territory IN the spring
Of 1862, nearly AZ years ago,
there were no nor NAL schools,
no universities; not even a sod
school house. / recollect the
first school house l knew of was
built at Vermillion in December
1894, out of cottonwood logs.
Ihelped- build it, and attended
there summer and winter for
six terms, / think. AS it was
practically impossible to get
competent teachers the chance
for an education was pretty slim
and l feel that every chance l
have to vote for and help the
children of the state to get q
better education, l am going to
do 1t, aud also take care of the
old soldiers; give them good
quarters, plenty to wear and to
eat.
AS l have said, all the appro-
priations of the 1907 legislature
reflect credit upon both the
republican and democratic mem
bers, and should be appreciated
by the people of South Dakota,
as they worked along the line of
square deal.
Now 1 want to say a few words
to the people of Charles Mix
county in regard to some Of the
very important laws passed.
First the reciprocal demur-
rage law, which re quires the
railroad to furnish cars to ship
pers within three days from
time of ordering, or pay to the
shipper 81 per day for each car
SO ordered.
Second; Double damage law
compelling railroad companies
to pay for stock killed by trains
and property destroyed by fire
within sixty days, or pay double
damages. Burden Of proof to
rest on railroad com panies.
Third. Fellow servant law.
Limiting the number of hours
railroad employees may work to
sixteen, then employees to have
eight hours rest, thereby ensur-
ing a greater amount OF SaIety
to passengers.
Fourth. Anti-lobby law. Com
pelling legislative lobbyists to
register and take yhat business
they have before the members,
and only allow them to appear
before the committee. This bill
was passed to render less effec-
tive the influence of fobbiests
over members.
Fifth: Anti-pass law. Doing
away with all free passes, that
legislators might not be infuen-
ced by the railroads, as has
been SO prevalent in the past.
Sixth. Licensing of fruit tree
agents. Requiring them to put
up q 5000 bond, that all stock
they sell is as represented.
Seventh. Empowering the

 Superintendent.

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-Com- pletely dumbfounding even his most intimate friends, w. A. Crawford, deputy superintendent of public instruction, has with drawn from the race. Prof. Craw- ford gave out statement late yesterday afternoon, after a lengthy conference with Prof. George B. Cook, his opponent for the office, in which he said that his duties 10 the office he was holding were such that he could not leave to make canvass over the state as he understood Prof. Cook intended making, and the indications were some mudsliug- ing was to be done, aud he could never be party to that. When talking with some of his support CTS after the conference with Cook, Professor Crawford said he was not physically able to make the race, and could not spend the money indications showed that Cook was preparing to spend.
 There is now some talk of Prof. D. T. Rogers, superintendent Of the Jonesboro schools, who some time ago contemplated getting in the race, and would not do so when he saw Professor Crawford was intending to run, making an announcement within few days, and yet making the race.

 Don't trife with a cold" is good advice for prudent men and women. IL may be vi- tai in the case of child. Proper food, good ventilation. and dry, warm clothing are the proper safeguards against colds. If they are maintained through the changeabie weather Of autumn. winter and spring, the chances of a surprise from ordinary colds will be slight But the ordinary light cold will become se- were if neglected, and well established ripe cold is to the germs of diphtheria what honey is to the bee.

NOTHING CAME | FROM THE CAUCUS
Politicians, After a Day of Strenuous Milling" Fail to Get Congress- man Brundidge to Run
 for Governor.

Little Rock, Feb. 6.-Congress-
 man s. Brundidge, IT,, was asked
 to become a candidate for gover. nor at caucas os number of
 well known Democrats of the state held in the Hotel Marion yesterday. Those who attended the caucus are known as anti Kirby and anti Douaghey men and were anxious to get MT. Brundidge into the gubernatorial race. MT. Brundidge was present at the caucus and stated that he would take the matter under ad- visement, but it Is practically understood that he will not be a candidate. Congressman Bruu- .didge left last night for Wash in gton, D. C., to attend congress.
 The caucus held at the Marion yesterday afternoon was attended by ten or more well known politi- clans of various sections of Ar kansas. Among them were: Ollie Killough of Wynne, Hugh Dinsmore of Fayetteville, cam paign manager for Congressman Brnndidge; Senator James H. Berry of Bentonville, Congress- man Brundidge of Searcy, Ex- Governor Dan w. Jones of Little Rock, Congressman J. c. Floyd of Yellville, John Q. Wolff of Batesville, Sheriff Black of Wash ington county, Ed Barton and Judge Eugene Cypert of White county and others.
 According to the statements of all who were present and inter viewed afterward the sole topic of discussion was the possibility of entering Congressman Brun. didge as gubernatorial candi- date in the present campaign.
 Nearly all of the politicians pesent at the caucus yesterday were aked as to whether they had taken up the question of which gubernatorial candidate they would support in case Brundidge would not run. The statements were made all to the effect that the subject had not been discussed.
 Speaking of the candidate after the caucus Ollie Kllloug is reported as saying:
 "Mr. Donaghey failed at every stage of the investigation of the statehouse, by the special com mittee, to make good his asser- tions. The new statehouse is at this time as full of holes as hornets nest. where we bored in to the stone just where MT. Don- aghey said bore and each time 1t was shown he had been mistaken. When he said the stone was three inches thick we found 1t to be two feet thick. l shall support some one who can defeat him"
