tion of States Attorney r. P. Stewart to
quash the mandamus proceedings against
the county auditor, sustaining the stat,
ute and by so doing declaring the law
constitutional. This case, which has
aroused unusual interest all over the
state has resulted in a victory for the
state and the socialists received the news
with much chagrin. 1t is asserted that
the socialists will straightway appeal 10
the supreme court for further action in
the matter.
The Deadwood Telegram says Free
man Knowles refused to have anything
to say at this time relative to the deci-
sion, but naturally enough he is not
pleased with it. If the matter is appeal
ed it will then be up to the supreme
court to sustain the legislature on this
enactment in question. The decision of
Judge McGee came as surprise to many
who believed that he would make an
opposing ruling.

Telephone Line to Pierre.

The Great Western Telephone COM
pany, which has been building towards
this city from Pierre for some months,
now has the line completed and open to
the public. The toll rate from this city
to Pierre is $l.l5. Connection is made
at this city with the exchange of the
Nebraska Telephone company. F. B.
Rowe is manager of the Great Western
company, with headquarters at Pierre.
The company was organized twelve
years ago and only small portion of
the line was bnilt at that time. 1t is a
single grounded line, l65 miles in length
and has twenty stations between Rapid
City and Pierre. Thursday evening the
line was tested and found to be salts.

equipped with iron wire, but later the
regulation copper wiring will be Install

material advantage to the Black Hills

There is no good excuse for the neglect.

water is plentiful, and wherever water
Is plentiful, trees can be grown without
difficulty. We must have more of them.
The elm, ash, soft maple are more beau
tiful and longer lived than the box ell

planted in abundance around every farm
house in the state.
In the eastern and southern part of
the state the monotony of the prairie is
immensely relieved by numerous groves
of trees in every neighborhood, but they
are far too scarce in the central and
northern parts Of the state No other
Improvement SO materially adds to the
beauty and substantial value ofthe farm.
Plant trees in abundance and take care
of them. 1t will prove to be your best

Arbor Day Proclamation.

As one travels over our state and
comes in contact with it's active, push
ing people, he is deeply impressed by
what he sees in the way of material
growth and development and while he
is often delighted with the neat farm
house and its pleasant surroundings, he
is too often depressed by the total neg
lect to plant and cultivate trees, which
leaves the home exposed to the burning
sun of midsummer and the cutting
blasts of midwinter, and gives to the
farm naked, cherries appearance that
is unattractive to the visitor and strang-

What would be gained by retiring
Senator Kittredge and electinR Coe 1.
Crawford as his successor? What has
Senator Kittredge voted for that Coe I
Crawford would have voted against ?
We have listened through the campaign
for revelation on this point, but have
not seen or heard any reply to the con-
trary. Senator Kittredge has won an
enviable position in the U. S. Senate,
and has been advanced by his colleagues
to leadership in the Senate because of
his ability and reliability. He is in
position to do vastly more for our great
state and nation in the future than in
the past. His position at the head of
important committees has come from
his commanding ability. No new man
could command this influence of Sena-
