The supreme court of the state
handed down a decision recently
on the primary law, in which it
held that the law as a whole was
constitutional, but that some fea-
lures would have to be eliminated.
The court held that the provision
allowing the central committees to
select the delegates to the state
convention will not stand; that the
tee provision must come out of
the law; that party committees are
the proper tribunal to fix repre-
sentation to the state conventions.

Assessment of County Increases

HSS$coiuiNut VI SOuHty aH\tNo
The deputy county and town
ship assessors are now busy list
ing the taxable wealth Of the
county. 1t is generally known
that the personal property list
will be the longest of any that has
ever been placed upon the assess
ment rolls Of the county. A con-
servative estimate of the county
assessor places the number Of
names somewhere in the ncighbor-
hood Of seven thousand.
Not only is the number of tax
payers increasing, but the total
amount Of taxable wealth is in
creasing as well. The volume of
taxable personal property shows a
gradual growth, but the startling
increase is in the amount OF real
property.
County Auditor Kennedy has
received lists Of the lands proved
NY in both the Pierre and Cham
berlain districts between May l,
1907, and May |, 1908, together
with list of the isolated tracts
purchased. In the Pierre district
100000 acres have passed from
government to private ownership,
and in the Chamberlain district
10000 acres. This will all be
added to the land tax list of
the county. By the state board
of equalization the assessment of
lands in this county has been
fixed at three dollars per acre,
so it is easy to figure the
increase in the total valuation.
Last year the land of the county
was assessed at $3.50. This
year the figure will go above
$l,70O,0O0. Not long ago. when
this paper estimated the increased
taxable land valuation of the
county at 81 ,25O,OO0 some of our
readers dropped in to find out
what brand we had been smoking.
The actual returns, however, come
precious near bearing out our
estimate.
1t is not easy to realize just
what an increase of over million
dollars in the assessed valuation
of the county means. The state
acditor's report shows that last
year the total assessed valuation
of the county was $2,578,513.
Now add to this the million dollars
increase in the assessed valuation
of land, the half million dollars
increase in the assessed valuation
of railroad property; and, not
counting any increase in the valu-
alton of personal property, we
see that the assessment of the
county will for the first time in
its history go above four million
dollars.
AS a county we are growing
rich. With future full of
promise, with every prospect that
a people could possibly wish. with
all our industries growing larger
every year, and with our assessed
valuation doubling each year, we
may confidently expect that our
assessment will be in the neighbor-
hood of ten million dollars within
very short time.

Northwestern Changes Schedule

Superintendent G.. T. Dixie of
this division of the Northwestern
returned last week from business
"trip to Chicago. While in Pierre,
Mr.. Dixie stated to the News
representative that after May II,
the Sunday train from the east,
which now stops at Pierre, will be
run on to Deadwood. This will
make the service to the Hills daily
instead of six times per week as at
present.
Changes are also to be made in
the schedule of the passenger
train from the west. 1t will leave
Deadwood one hour later than it
does at present, and will reach
Pierre at the same time it does
now. It has not been definitely
decided yet whether this train will
also be run on Sunday or not, but
it is likely that it will.
No arrangement has been made
yet concerning the proposed in
crease of the number of trains
each day. The announcement
came from the head Office of the
company in Chicago not long ago
that the number of passenger
trains would be increased from
two to four. Nothing will be
done in that direction at present.

Our Birthday Celebration

Last Saturday the town was a
year old, and that day was set
aside and observed with general
celebration and gladness of heart.
The writer was away at the coun-
ty seat looking after business
matters, and so regretfully missed
the exercises of the day. But
there was general talk Of the
affair even at the county hub, and
expressions of wonder at what our
town has accomplished in year
were frequent. We'll, she's a
hummer, amt she?" said one
prominent business man of Fort
Pierre.
A programme of sports was ar
ranged by committee and carried
out as advertised. The events
were the occasion of the usual ex-
citement for the participants and
fun for the onlookers. The ball
game reported in another column
drew a good crowd.
The affair was arranged on short
notice, but in spite of that fact a
large crowd of people from the
country and surrounding commun-
tiles was in evidence, and the af-
fair was a success in every detail.

A Mystery to the World.

The presence of the comforter,
through whom God is manifested to
the heart of the believer, is a mystery
to the outside world. Science cannot
analyze it. The intellect cannot APP
prebend it. But the child that smiles
up into its mothers face need not be
disturbed by the fact that her love can
not be demonstrated mathematically,
nor tested in the crucibles of the labora-
tories. The indwelling of the Holy
Spirit is a matter of experience. The
Christian knows and is satisfied. The
outside world wonders and doubts.

height Of thirty to forty feet in short

screen of foliage that is variously mot

flowers. They grow four or five inches
across and include all colors and COM
binations from deep velvety purple to
the daintiest blue, from snow white to
the softest rose, through all the shades
of crimson and red to rich garnet.
Some of the blossoms are rich, deep

THE liquor men have made a
discovery equaled only by that
thrillingly sensational report that
Holland had been captured by the
Dutch. A Chicago official of the
United Societies of Brewers and
Liquor Sellers said the other day,
whenever Church organizations
ineddle with politics and assume to
dictate to law-making bodies, they
should be treated as political organ
izations," OF coursel But why
grow excited about itl Have the
saloon people just found out that
the Church is in politics? 1t is,
just the same, as it ought to be
whenever an enemy of right living
and public morals gets into politics.
A ferret worth its Salt follows
wherever the rats 10. If the saloon
had kept out of politics the church
would not have gone in. But the
church must follow the saloon
wherever it goes. because it is part
of the church's business to exter-
inmate the saloon. So the church
is not merely willing to be treated
as political organization in the
fight against the saloon. it insists
on being so regarded. MIR. Koelling
will have no trouble in putting
that label on the church. But he
need not exert himself. The
church put on that badge herself
and will not take it off until the
saloon as political power is deader
than avery.-Epworth Herald.

IT is beginning to look as though

IT is beginning to look as though
both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties would be compelled
to put temperance planks in their
National platforms this fall. We
have got to that stage of the politi-
cal game where the people demand
an issue. The old cry of .'put me
In and the other rascal out" does
not arouse the enthusiasm it did in
days gone by. The masses are not
only demanding an issue but they
want their ballots to decide great
questions. The fact that the annual
drink bill of the United States is
81, 500, ,ooo, 900 which along with
the wretchedness, suffering and
death that it causes. makes all
other issues which have ever been
before the people of this nation
look very Insignificant, slavery
not excepted). The fact that the
Democratic South has been most
successful in graphing with this
monster of vice and death should
stimulate the Democrats of the
nation to take it upon themselves
to make it national issue. If the
Denver convention puts stiff pro-
hibition plank in their platform and
nominates w. ]. Bryan for president
