"A YARD OF BALLOTS"
Tickets to Be Voted In South Dakota
Will Be Nearly Three Feet Iona.

Will Be Nearly Three Feet Long.
The county auditors OF the various
counties in the state have just turned
over to the printers the ballots for
the general election.
The ballots will be over two feet
long and will have seven headings
side by side. There are six parties or
notices represented on the ticket
the Republican, Democratic, Prohibit
ton, Socialist, Good Government and
Scales and Justice. These, with tho
column of independent nominations
by petition, makes seven columns
from which the voter can take bis
choice.
The good government represents
the nominee of the Democratic party
who failed to get on the ballot under
the Democratic head in the regular
way, while the scales of justice" rep
resents the Hearst or Independence
party.
On Tuesday the regular October
term of United States court will on
vene in this city. The term will be
devoted to the trial of civil actions
only.

London Pretty Gay.

There is no sort Of doubt that Lon
don is a much gayer and more attrac-
tive capital than it used TO be. We
borrowed our idea of living at restuar-
ants from Paris. and now we seem
to have gone one better, for we can
boast quite a b~ewildering number Of
CAV places to dine and sup at.
Americans have discovered this, al
so that our London season is longer
and decidedly more brilliant than that
of Paris. Here to, Americans have OF
late years been most warmly welcom-
ed in social circles, far more so than
they are in the best French society.
The consequence is that rich Ameri-
cans swarm over in the season, and
on the 'cutlet for outlet" principle do
as much for London society as Lon
don society does for them. 1t looks
indeed as if London were ousting
Paris from the position of Mecca to
the Americans.

LET'S CAT OUT OF BAG.
German Manufacturers to Flood
America With Goods If Bryan
Should be Elected.

The following cablegram to the New
York Sun under date Of Oct 3 shows
what German manufacturers expect to
do should Bryan be elected:
Berlin, Oct. 3.-The gladiatorial
fight between President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan has suddenly aroused Ger
man interest in the American Presi-
dental campaign and columns are now
devoted to extracts from the mammoth
campaign documents of the cOmhatants.
German hopes of Democratic rictOrV
hare been rcrired and many merchants
and manufacturers hare suddenly
0rOrn optimistic about a rcrisiOn Of the
tariff nhich aciH enable them to flood
America 1cith their GOODS"
The German manufacturers evidently
are shcewd observers. If Mr.. Bryan
should be elected and his downward
revision doctrine with ultimate free
trade be carried into effect we would
o be flooded with German-made
goods Of every description. and u fac
tories could 60 out Of business.
Protective Tariff Theory.
On the other hand, should Mr.. Taft
be elected our friends the German man
u%facturers would not be able to break
through the wall Of protection which
would be maintained for the benefit Of
American labor.
The protective-tariff theory as de-
fined in the Republican platform. and
as adhered to by Mr.. Taft, is that in
order to maintain high wages in this
country there must be the imposition
Of such duties as will equal the differ
ence between the cost of production at
home and abroad, together with a rea-
sonable profit to American industries"
Mr.. Taft points out that the cost Of pro
duction is determined chiefly by these
three elements: "The cost Of material.
the cost OF labor and the interest on
capital. or what is known as the manu-
facturer's profit"
The normal operation of protection,
where competition has free scope Mr..
Taft asserts. SIS to lower the cost Of
producing and so to reduce prices to
the public. AS a consequence. after ten
years operation Of a particular sched-
ule. it ought to result that the cost Of
production in this country is made less,
and therefore that the difference be-
tween the cost Of production In this
country and abroad is less. and there
fore that the duty ought to be reduced"

ACCEPTS THE VERDICT.
Eli Raich Will Not Appeal From Con-
viction on CHARGE OF Mansiaudnter.


Manslaughter in the first degree
with a recommendation for leniency
was the verdict of the jury in the trial
of Eli Raich, charged with the murder
of Michael Augusta at Lead last May.
The jury was out for over eighteen
hours and it was thought would be
unable to reach a decision. The de-
PENDANT has decided to accept the YER
dict and will not appeal his case. He
will be sentenced to the penitentiary
on Oct. II, the day on which sentence
of death will be pronounced on Will
lam Dunn, the other convicted slayer.
Raich, during \ quarrel in his saloon
in which he tried to eject Augusta,
lost his temper when tainted over
his gambling losses, and shot and
killed Augusta. The conviction Of
Raich continues the remarkable rec
ord for during the past two years not
q single defendant in a criminal case
here has been acquitted.

Duties Of Next Administration.

The function Of the next administra-
ton is not to be spectacular in the en-
actment OF great statutes laying down
new codes of morals or asserting a new
standard Of business integrity. but its
work lies in the details Of furnishing
men and machinery to aid the hand of
the executive in making the supervision
Of the transactions (of corporations) so
close, SO careful, sc constant. that the
business men engaged in it may know
promptly when they are transgressing

is Saved by Parents.
The little two-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Adams, HOMESTEAD
ers in Stanley county. had the siren
uous experience of falling directly
upon a monster diamond rattlesnake
and being alive to tell the story.
While playing about the yard of her
home the little girl stumbled and fell,
pitching directly upon the snake,
which was lying coiled and ready to
strike. evidently having coiled when
1t saw the child approach.
The fangs struck the child in the
hand. Her mother heard her scream
and rushed to her assistance. She
was taken into the house and a physi-
clan summoned, but at the time the
physician was engaged upon an Oper-
alton, which he could not postpone
under any circumstances, and it was
nearly four hours before he could
reach the Adams home and administer
TO the little girl. However, in the
meantime, pending the arrival Of the
physician, her parents did everything
possible to stop the spread Of the
poison through her system, and to
this the little girl owes her life.
When the physician finally arrived
the hand and arm We're ~frightfully
swollen, but this now has been reduc-
ed and the child is on the road to re-

4 SORRY SHOWING.
Practical Workings Of Oklahoma
Bank DEPOSIT Guarantee Law
Explained.
Reckless Banking and Speculative
Methods Follow Passage OF
Law.

The practical workings Of the Okla
homa law guaranteeing bank deposits
were described by Mr.. J. w. McNeal,
one of the most substantial bankers of
that state. and president of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, Guthrie, in
4 short public address at DEWEY, Oct.
|, 1908.
Mr.. McNeal said:
"To my mind 1t is the most vicious
and pernicious law ever forced on a
body of honorable men. 1t contains a
provision for an unlimited mutual liza
Dility for all tie d~efalcations, lack OF
judc, ment, dishonest and incompetent
bankers. without any recognition Of
the time-tried, strong banker, who may
have spent a lifetime in building up his
reputation. Under the provisions Of
this law, the State Banking Board is
required to levy an assessment equal to
one per cent. Of the average deposits
in each bank, and, in the future, to levy
as often as may be required, a sum
sufficient to maintain this fund, at one
per cent Of the average deposits of the
state.

REMEDY WOULD KILL.

Governor Hughes at Sioux City, Ia,

If you look conditions sQuarely in

first of all is work, and that is depend
ent upon the country's prosperity. 1t is
country and cut u abuses; hard to
provide schemes that won't hurt bust
ness and will cure evils. 1t is hard to
do things right. but we have got to take
the time and labor to do them right.
In answer to a question l put to him
the other day Bryan said that an ounce
of remedy was worth a pound Of cure.
That is a fallicy an ounce Of his rem
edy would kill the patient. What We

Attorney General Clark, on request
Of State Secretary Wipf, holds that
the independent nominations placed
upon the ballot through petition are

sion of the law they must each go
upon the ballot as an independent
candidate, all in one column, with the
title under which they are running

petition as Independent candidates
running under an agreed motto, and
hat it would not be necessary for
each candidate to bring in a separate

This means that all the names of

ed in one column, with no circle over

what has been some of the results
Of the actual operation of this law IN
oklahoma? There have been seventy
srven new state bank charters issued
since the adoption of this law. forty
two of these with a capital stock of
only $4,000 each. There has been q
regular hegira for starting new state
banks without regard to the necessities

the men starting the banks.
1--WE have one instance of where a
man failed in Kansas, under his Owl
under his wife's name and failed, beat
ing his creditors out Of $4,000. not
paying them a cent. Under the Old ter
ritorial law, he attempted. under the
guise of relatives to start a bank. but
In two years his business was so triding
that it forced him u of the business.
He now has already started three
banks in Oklahoma and boasts that he
will start twelve more. Within sixty
days from starting one of his banks, I
am informed. and his statement shows.
that he had a deposit account Of over
5000 His cashier is under indict-
ment for embeZzlement. I hope and
trust that he will be able to explain
the matter without wrong to him. I
only mention these facts to show that
it is immaterial what character of man
are at the head Of banks. they get the
business by claiming that the state is
guaranteeing them and 1t makes no
difference whatever AS to the character
81 personality of the officers. A man
may bet all his money on the races,
may gamble OF the Board Of Trade,
may fight joint whisky, may lead a

deposits, saying What do you care
