The supreme court has sustained
the order of the lower court of Min
nehaha county, in disbarring Atty.
Egan of Sioux Falls. Egan gained
some notoriety by his success in
prosecuting the Kaufman murder
case, but his subsequent acts have
been somewhat shady. The charges
on which the disbarment proceed
ings were brought grew out of what
is known as the O'Grady case. An
old lady named O'Grady, now con-
fined in an insane asylum in Okla
homa, was accused of killing her
husband. Egan was employed to
defend her, and about his first act
was to force her to deed him her
farm, turn over to him all the mon
ey she had except $500, and all of
her personal property, even includ-
ing her chickens, leaving the old
lady destitute. The bar ASSOCIATION
of Sioux Falls took the matter up,
forced Egan to surrender the prop
erty to the guardian of Mrs. o.
Grady appointed by the court, and
instituted disbarment proceedings
against him. It is now reported
that similar proceedings were COM
menced against him in Iowa before
he came to this state, but on his
promise to leave the state within a
year the charges were not pushed.
Within the year he came to Sioux
Falls.

The supreme court of Wisconsin
has declared the eight hour law for
telegraph operators unconstitution-
al on the grounds that it conflicts
with federal statute. The decis-
ion holds that under the federal
constitution congress has power to
regulate all interstate commerce,
and congress has already passed a
law fixing the hours Of railway tel
.egraphers at from nine to thirteen
hours, therefore the state can not
pass law in conflict with the fed
eral law. II our courts had no ju-
.risdiction to declare any law un-
constitutional, as the Sioux City
Tribune advocates, what would be
done with a conflict of this kind?

A democratic rally was held in
Odd Fellows Hall Wednesday af-
ternoon, addressed by Andrew E.
Lee, candidate for governor, and
Mr.. Soule of Rapid City, candidate
for the short term in congress.
Mr.. Lees talk was chiefly devoted
to a comparison of the expenses of
running the state under his previ-
ous administration with the ex-
pense under Gov. Crawford's ad-
ministration. Mr.. Soule directed
bis attention to the tariff, guaran-
tee of bank deposits, postal saw
ings banks and railroad rate regu-
lation. He is a forcible speaker,
but many Of his statements would
not bear close investigation. For
instance he advocated great re.
duction of the tariff. 1t is true, as
republicans admit, that revision
is needed, as conditions have so
changed that some schedules are
probably too high while probably
others are too low, but in the ag-
oregate he did not show how there
can be any material reduction.
The tariff is the chief source of
revenue for running our govern
ment, and at present the revenues
are not sufficient to meet the de-
mands. If it is reduced the ex-
nenditures must be proportlonate-
" reduced, and where would Mr..
soule make the reduction? Would
he stop work on the Panama ca

Granville Jones, the democratic
orator from Rapid City who spoke
here last FRIDAY night, has revised
his speech since he started out in
the campaign. At first he had lots
of fun criticising the republicans
for permitting the railroad COM
missioners to ride on passes.
When il was revealed to him that
this privilege was given to the CON-
missioners by q law passed by the
populist legislature Of 1897 and
signed by Andrew E. Lee when he
was governor, he concluded that
there was nothing to criticise in it.

Granville Jones, the democratic
orator from Rapid City and can
didate for the state senate from
Pennington county, spoke to a
good sized audience here Friday
evening. Mr.. Jones is good
speaker and convincing if one does
not anylize his statements too
closely. His attempt to show that
republicans of this state should
support the democratic ticket be-
cause some of the declarations of
the republican state platform are
the same as those in the democrat
ic national platform, is rather an
argument why republicans should
stay by their own congressman. If
the republicans are pledged by
their own state platform to sup
port those measures their candi-
dates, if elected, will have greater
influence in securing those meas
ures than would democratic con-
gressmen who would be hostile to
the senate which is sure to be re-
publican, and also hostile to the
president who is practically certain
of being VIM. H. Taft.

Democratic Ineonsistency,

The Democratic leaders have been
for years making loud declarations
against corporations and trusts and
railroads and have, nevertheless, in
stituted no legislative steps in all this
time for the purpose Of restraining
abuses, They are now indignant that
the Republican party, in carrying out
the promises Of its own platform, is
putting into practice the principles
which they. with a superb self-compla-
cency, claim are really covered by a
Democratic patent-Hon. VIM. II. Taft,

THE trend is all for Bryan now. Our
campaign managers have let things
drift along without doing anything,
while the Democrats have been at work,
until there is strong tide of sentiment
for BRYAN" A story sent out from Gin
cinnati Is to the effect that Senator
Foraker believes that he is down and
out politically. although he will try TO
be reelected to the senate, but that In
the event of his failure that he Will
throw all of his influence to the election
Of John r. McLain, Democrat, rather
than see the senatorship go to some
other Republican. In other states 1t is
much the same. The Republican party
has been taking much for granted; rely
ing on what has been. The depression
in business is also working in the in
terest of Mr.. Bryan, hundreds OF thou
sands of voters figuring 1t out that the
Republican party was in control when
the panic came, they are in power yet
and the depression is still here, and they
argue that the election of Mr.. Bryan
can certainly not make matters any
worse, and so it goes. But it is six
weeks until the election and millions OF
votes can be made and unmade before
election day settles the question. The
present controversy between Mr.. Roose-
welt, Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Haskell over
Standard Oil affiliations is likely to
have tremendous effect, one way or the
other

What Is the Truth?

Although 1t does not take Soou
deal of foresight to see that the fast
and furious events of the present cam
paign are pregnant with past and fu-
ture significance, the pace is a little
too rapid for intelligent, present COM
prehension.
AS we see it, however, there Is no
reason why the American people should
get excited. On the contrary they want
to be as calm and self-possessed as
possible. The only thing that they are
really concerned in is getting at the
truth, and this. if they allow them
selves to become unduly excited, they
will miss.
The charges of Mr.. Hearst against
Messrs. Foraker and Haskell came in
the nature of a bombshell and at the
first explosion it looked as If one was
hit about as hard as the other With
the rising of the smoke, however, II
appeared that only Foraker had been
knocked out There was nothing
against Haskell but an unsupported
charge.
Foraker went down and out. For
that no credit attaches either to him
or his party. Unless he can prove his
innocence there is no further hope for
him. Had there been any tangible
proof against Haskell, he would have
been taken out of the game just as
suddenly and just as effectively.
The evident purpose Of the state
ment given out by the president, was
to try to recover for his party some OF
the ground that had been lost through
Hearst's demolition of Foraker, and 1t
looked like he would be successful In
this. He, no doubt, would have been
successful except for Mr.. Bryan's tele-
gram. in which the Democratic leader
said exactly the right thing at the
right time.
Because of his high position, If for
no other reason, the presumption is
that the president Of the United States
would not even intimate charges that
he could not sustain absolutely, and
upon the appearance Of his letter in re-
ply to Mr.. Bryan 1t looked as If Mr.
Haskell had been sent to join Mr. For
aker. But within a few hours after
ward, it developed that Mr.. Haskell is
also quite able to take care Of himself,
and so far as the record goes up to
this time he seems to stand absolutely
unscathed.
How it will all come out, we cannot
predict with certainty; but we hope the
truth will be established, let it help or
hurt who it will. If Haskell is guilty
Of dishonest affiliation with Standard
Oil, or of trying to evade the truth, we
hope the facts will be shown, and If
Mr.. Roosevelt is guilty Of having made
false accusations, we hope also that he
will get what is coming to him. The
maintenance of the truth is of more
Importance to the nation than the tri-
umph of either Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Taft,
or the ascendency Of either the Repub-
lican or Democratic party.

SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The fluctuations in the speculative
cotton market yesterday, are summar-
lied in a New York dispatch Of last
night as follows:
The cotton market was nervous and
irregular today, the main feature be-
ing the strength Of October contracts
which seemed to reflect the approach
of notice day. The close was steady
net points higher to 5 points lower.
Sales were estimated at 125,OOO bales.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance Of to points in response to
the higher English spot market and
rains in Texas. Trading was very quiet
at the start and following the favor
able western belt forecast the market
eased off to a net decline Of to 3
points under realizing and local pres
sure, but soon rallied again on covering
by October shorts and rumorS that
considerable sales had been made from
the local stock. The advance carried
October up to 908, or IA points net
higher, but the later months barely
reached the initial figures owing TO
lessened apprehensions regarding the
weather and in the late trading, the list
eased off under profit taking by early
buyers and the absence Of continued
support from bullish sources. Private
cables from Liverpool reported no
change in the labor situation and no
apparent efforts toward a settlement.
Detailed weather reports from Texas
indicated no Important precipitation
except at a couple Of points, but there
is still some uneasiness over low area
northwest of the belt. There are ru-
mors that fully 5000 bales have recent
ly been sold from the local stock to New
England mills.
Receipts at the ports today 43,371
bales against 35,269 last week and'32, 495
last year For the week 27O,OOO bales
against 213,SS2 last week and 221,S12
last year. Today's receipts at New Or
leans 1892 bales against 2,132 last year,
and at Houston 1907 bales against 81
S13 last year.

MAKE 1T AT HOME.

Mr.. C.. A. Carroll, a well known far
mer of the Beth Shiloh neighborhood
who is commonly conceded by those
who know him. to be a man with ar
unusually level head, dropped into The
Enquirer office a few days ago for a
brief chat and said some things that
are worth thinking about.
'Fll never put any more fertilizer
under corn" he said, because it does
not pay. l have tried 1t and l know
This year l fertilized my corn both
WAYS Where l had fertilized at plant
ing time, the corn went right on up
The rains struck it about the time
it should have commenced to ear, and
instead of caring, the stalk continued
to grow. In the case Of corn that was
planted without fertilizer and not fer
tiiZed until it got above knee high, the
fertilizer took effect just at caring
time. The stalk did not grow quite sc
large: but l made more corn. l am
satisfied along this line now.
Then I'll tell you another thing,
continued Mr.. Carroll, land that Is
about this cotton question. No man
can afford to raise cotton at any rea-
sOnable price except as a surplus. You
can't do it at 25 cents a pound. 1t is
all right to hold cotton off the market
and to market it gradually to make
them pay you a fair price; but that is
not the remedy to the situation. Every
individual farmer has got to cut down
his cotton acreage and manage so as
to make his cotton as clear profit. You
need not tell me 1t cannot be done. Ii
can be done, and that is the only way
any farmer can hope to come out
ahead.
"Of course, I know that there are
10 nfh
wise: but l am not afraid to tell you
that there is actually more clear mon
ey in raising cattle than in raising cot
ton. The biggest item of expense in
cattle raising is sowing rye about now.
You can pasture it from the middle of
December to the last Of January, and
during the next spring and summer you
can get two cuttings off Of it. You
have very little cost, except in buying
the seed and putting them in the
ground.
Yes. sir. there is more money rails
ing cattle than there is raising cotton,
and | am just sure Of this fact, that If
we do not at once go down to rotation
of our crops, we are going to get back
where we were a few years ago. 1t
seems to me that with such lesson as
we have had. nobody should need to be
reminded Of it, so soon. But you
know how it was. Most Of the people
of this country had broke themselves
raising cotton and lands went down to
s. and sc an acre. People quit raising
cotton. because they had to, and after
a while things began to get better.
Now that we see the same old cOndi-
tiOn returning, we should quit raising
cotton. except as surplus and at once
get down to a diversification of crops"
