sxrH BuLLocK's ESTIMATE

Seth Bullock, the United States
marshal, and his wife have been in
Washington for a couple of weeks,
and are returning to their Deadwood
home. Capt. Bullock and his wife
we're the guests OF President and Mrs.
Roosevelt at the White House for a
portion of the time. While in Wash
.ington the United States marshall
had an opportunity to ascertain some
thing of the high standing of Senator
Kittredge among the big men Of the
senate, and in making a statement
Of the political situation IN his state
Captain Bullock spoke as follows to a
Washington representative of the
Sioux City Journal:
81 lind that Mr.. kittredge has
attained high lanK in national
affairs. lie is chairman of one Of
the great Committees OF the senate,
has the confidence and respect OF his
colleagues, anG is a credit to the
state as we'll as to the body Of which
he Is a member. Senator K%ittredge
Is In close touch with the Roosevelt
administration. l think 1T is impor-
stant to the interests of South Dakota
that lie should be returned to the
senate for that one reason, if for no
other. Senator Kittredge is a close
personal friend to Secretary Of War
Taft. In all human probability MIR.
Taft will be nominated as the party's
standard hearer by the republican
national convention, and in all pro-
liability he will be eiected to the
high office to which he aspires. 1t
would be far better. in my mind, to
Rave In the senate a man who will
stand we'll what the administration
that will follow that of Mr.. Roose-
welt into the White House. James
Wilson, secretary Of agriculture,
told me a couple Of years ago that
MI. Kittledge had come to the
front in national affairs quicker
than any man THAT had come under
his observation"

About Hel.

To the query, What is your wife's
salary?" there can, of course, be but
one answer. Wives do not receive sal
aries. Generally speaking they are.
merely allowed their board and,
clothes. They do not fnancier in the
strict acceptance of the term, nor do,
they lay by anything for time of sick.
ness, disability or old age. Their hus-
bands do that for them, at least in
theory, and the earnings of the wife
go toward the care and support of
the family, being in fact the hardest
portion of the family responsibility.
Many men are very thoughtless about
such matters, but they are very mean
nevertheless, If they let matters drift
along from year to year, and make
no provision, in Ease they are sud-
denly cut down, for her whom they
have sworn to love and cherish. The
law provides that the wife shall have
a definite portion of the estate left by
her husband when he dies, but this
does not signify much, if he leaves
no estate. A thousand things may
conspire together in such a manner
that nothing remains as an estate.
Business risks, bad investments, hard
times, luXury-all these may account
for the lack of residue, but they may
leave a wife no estate. What then?
Life insurance is a provision for the
wife that is definite, sure and, as a
rule. easily obtained Few men will
care to deny that a good wife deserves
something definite and sure, and If
there is real love in a mans heart he
will protect that faithful wife and
helpmate against the day of adver-
sity.-Ex.

wv 20 OAA ~
candidate for the Office of governor
OF South Dakota 1T was alleged in
his campaign that the state needed
reforming, that 1t needed a set OF
state officers who would look after
the interests Of the people more con-
sistently and that with him at the
head OF the state these reforms
would be brought about eventually.
Nj. Crawford was elected governor.
Two months before the end of bis
Arst year Of Official work be is found
campaigning the state from one emf
TO the other In q strenuous effort to
secure the election OF United States
senator, simply to wreak y revenge
on Senator Kittredge, whom. the
governor alleges, is not doing In the
United States senate what should be
done for South Dakota and the
public In general. IF what the gov
ernor has done for South Dakota is
TO be measured as a criterion as to
what he will no should he possibly
become a United States senator,
then he should never be elevated to
the position. But 1t seems rather
stran4e thai the governor should SO
early give up the reforms that he has
attempted. Does he mean to say
that he has saved the state In the
