few days ago in favor Of socialism,
but some of the strongest of the Brit
ish labor unions are coming out
against this action. In England, how
eyer, and to som. extent in the
United States, socialistic doctrines
seem to be gaining ground among the
labor societies.
William D. Haywood Of the West
ern Federation of Miners, is being
doomed for the presidential nomina-
ton by a powerful element of the
socialists. One of his champions
is Eugene v. Debs, who was the can
didate of the larger section Of re
socialists in the past two canvasses.
For the moment Haywood is out Of
the inner circle Of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, so 1t is reported,
but he retains his connection with
the organization, and he is n of the
most influential members of it. Sam
uel Gompers, the head of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, has fought
socialism hard, and thus far success
fully, in socialism's attempt to get
control of that organization, but the
memberG of. that cult are getting
bolder and holder every year, and
they are planning a strong demon
stration for the meeting of the Fed
GRAFTON next December.
There is a strong probability that
the socialists will make an active
canvass in 1908. The big parties
paid very little attention to them in
1904. Debs, however, polled 400,-
600 votes in that year, as compared
with only $4,000 for Tom Watson,
the populist candidate. Moreover,
Debs did not get the entire vote of
that cult. Corrigan, the candidate
of the social labor party, polled 81
900 votes. All the indications point
to a much heavier vote by The So
cialists in 1908. Debs is a good talk.

The bureau of the census in the de-
partment of commerce and labor has
just issued a bulletin giving an
Infringement of its seventh annual
report on statistics of morality for
1906. This report undertakes only
to cover that portion Of the states Of
the United States and cities that
have adopted laws requiring the reg
istration of births and deaths and
the causes Of death, known as vital
statistics. Only a portion Of the
states and a few of the cities have
done this, SO that the repor. cannot
be expected to give en- exact average
for the country. Fifteen states are
included, namely: South Dakota,
California, Colorado, Connecticut, In
diana, Maine, Maryland, Massachu-
sets. michigan, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvan-
ia, Rhode Island and Vermont, which
with the cities included, contains over
48 million people which is consider
ably more than one-half the popula-
ton of our country. These are called
the registration states" and to these
may be added Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, who Joined the list by enacting
registration laws in 1907. AS a mat
ter of fact the entire report is of
great value, contrasting as it does
the healthfulness of the United
States with other nations, showing
that this country has 2 slight adva--
tage over all leading nations in it's
annual death rate which is a tri1e
over .16 to each 1000; but a COM
p~arison of the death rate now pre-
vailing with that of the last century
in the leading nations SHOWS that the
rate has fallen from about rs pei
1000 a century ago. The causes o.
death are also given, consumption
taking the lead and very destructive
to the negro population; pneumonia
is second; heart failure next, diar
rhoea fourth and violence fifth. Thel
follows in increasing ratio a dozel
other causes, old age claiming Thur
ty-fCur out of each thousand.
South Dakota, in which the reader
of the Press and Dakotan are NOR
particularly interested, has by ia
: the lowest rate of any state in tn
. list, but this may. IN q small meas
: ire, be due to imperfect statistica
l reports. According to a table fur

County Division.

Stanley county, South Dakota, is
one Of the unwiedly counties of west
ern South Dakota, on account of the
enormous size. 1t contains over one
hundred townships Of good land and
the greater part of it embraces the
entire area between the White river
and the Big Cheyenne. When the
boundaries of the counties on the
west side Of the Missouri were de-
fined there was no white population
there and the Indian title covered a
large portion II not all the country
between the Missouri and the Black
Hills. No care was taken to map out
county boundaries with the view Of
atcommodating civilized settlements;
but it was expected that a succeeding
legislature would take the matter up
before settlement became fixed and
property interests valuable, and
earye the large areas into a conven-
lent size for the administration of
county government. Already the pop.
ulation of Stanley county has
grown restless under its huge proper
lions, and its settlers who find it
necessary to travel seventy-fve to a
hundred miles to reach the county
seat find it not only expensive but re-
curing a great sacrifice of valuable
time. A county mass meeting was
held at Philip recently to consider
The division of the county, but moth.

Guaranty National Bank Depositors.

Guaranty National Bank Depositors.
The advocates. Of a government
guarantee Of deposits in National
banks are encouraged to believe that
congress will eventually adopt their
panic preventive, and remedy for
hard times. The plan is gaining a
broader foothold all the time in the
country at large, but will meet with
no favor from Aldrich, or Kean, or
the Wall street %financiers who do not
want a safe financial system so much
as they want one that will permit
them to manipulate the country's fin
ances and be able to produce a panic
occasionally as was the case last fall.
Hon. Lyman Gage, secretary of
the treasury under Mckinley, and
one of the most reliable financial au-
thorities in the country, has been OPP
posed to the plan until recently, be-
lieving that it would have a tendency
to encourage reckless banking, but
he has finally become convinced that
it is an essential feature of a sound
financial system and is using his in
tluence in. its favor. The plan, how
ever, is not exactly a government
guarantee, but amounts to the same
thing in practice, for the depositor is
fully protected, which is the vital
point aimed at by the advocates of
the system. The banks are to be as
sessed one-tenth of one per cent on
their deposits to form a guarantee
fund to pay d positors of failed
banks, which is claimed to have the
advantage over the direct guaranty
tplan because it will be an incentive
eor all banks to watch the affairs CT
leach other and prevent reckless
methods. Mr.. Revell, the Chicago
business man, who has been very &C
Five in arousing the sentiment of the
country and of congress in favor OF
the plan, has met with good success
and is still devoting his time to pro,
lnoting its passage. Wellman, the
Record-Herald correspondent, VINO
has the fortunate faculty Of getting
on the right side of public questions
epitomizes the benefits of the insur
ance plah in these words:
ct is this very logic of facts ant
experience that makes friends for TIL
%nroposal to guarantee all deposits i
banks. The logic is inexorable. Fe:a
for the safety Of money left in bank
leads to withdrawal; withdrawal ]
moral panic by hundreds Of thous
